We just need to take a quick minute and talk about the fact that Justin Bieber seems to be working on adding another skill to his already long list of talents -- The Sexy Face. Tyra Banks calls it "Smizing," Zoolander called it "Blue Steel," but we just call it "The Sexy Face." The Sexy Face is when you look at the camera like you have lasers in your eyes and/or like you're thinking about the number pi. Let's explore...

Here's Justin Bieber giving us the half Smize/half Zoolander at the Brit Awards. Listen, Justin, we know you're 16 and everything, but keep giving this face and they might actually let you register to vote or something. Also, where are your zits?! The voice of an angel and the face of a porcelain doll? Sorry, every other 16-year-old boy.

Do I really need to explain this? Um, is it legal for me to explain this photo? Here Justin Bieber's chilling courtside at a New York Knicks game in all black everything (Jay-Z reference, get schooled!), just taking in...the scenery. I'm not going to say what I think is going on in that little "Baby" head of his. Hopefully just this.

This explains everything! Justin Bieber taking The Sexy Face stroll with Usher at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards. J.Biebs and Urrrsher, otherwise known as the King and Prince of Swagtown. Not to be all 2010, but for real, hide yo kids.

What did you all think about Britney Spears' "Hold It Against Me" video premiere last night?! I absolutely LOVED it! I definitely think it's one of her best videos to date. The concept is brilliant, she looks amazing, and I'm glad she is finally experimenting with art and fashion!

Suffice it to say, I can't get enough of this amazing video, so I wanted to create some exclusive "Hold It Against Me" gifs -- IN WALL FORM (!!!) -- for you guys. Feel free to right-click and save and use wherever you like!

Below is the first of two walls I worked on. It features scenes from the beginning of the video, various beauty shots, and some of the crazy ones too! Stay tuned because we are dedicating the next gif wall entirely to the epic Britney vs. Britney battle scene!

The Twittersphere was full of love and Grammys this week! We're not sure, but it might be because it was Valentine's Day on Monday and the Grammy Awards this past weekend. College educations at work right here, folks.

Justin Bieber played it safe on Valentine's Day by announcing that he spent the big day with Chelsea Handler. Smart move, little man. And cuties Taylor Swift and Paramore's Hayley Williams both wished the Internet a VDay full of love. Hayley gave a shout out to all the "love sick babes" and Taylor Swift (dressed as a Geisha) spread the love from Tokyo. (At least we think that's Taylor Swift...)

On the Grammy front, Kanye West took to his Twitter to live tweet the awards. Our favorite? "Dude from Muse just gave a shout out to 'His Beautiful Pregnant Girlfriend'...sounds like a good album title!" We LOLed. And Lady Gaga tweeted about her Grammy win with a really sweet thank you to her fans.

Also this week, Katy Perry mentions her Starbucks withdrawal for the second week in a row (you might want to see someone about that, girl), and Rihanna reveals her girl crush on Cheryl Cole. And as always, MTV Buzzworthy kept it real by saying what everyone else was thinking: "This talking computer thing on Jeopardy is LEGITS freaking me out." Come on, guys. It's Creep City.

Much like we did when Britney Spears' "Hold It Against Me" single dropped, we have again taken to the internet to find the most hilarious, passionate and possibly nutty reactions to her "Hold It Against Me" video.

When you're looking for intense reactions to a Britney Spears song or video, you might as well not lollygag; you just go to the eye of the storm that is the fan community, Oh No They Didn't.

As you can imagine, initial reactions were...intense. Lots of words were written, lots of exclamation points were dropped. But, perhaps user "benrobot" best summed up the feelings of first responders with this gif...

Praise be. One thing that was especially interesting about the reactions to this video were that they were as much about the reactions as the video itself. User "hotlush" invoked some kind of manning of the ramparts (I think) with the comment, "Amazing, flawless, simply her best since WOMANIZER. Everyone stock up on wood cause the haters will be pressed against. March 29 couldn't come quicker."

But perhaps most interesting among all the ONTD comments were the theories about what "Hold It Against Me," like, really means, man. Take it away, "kimberlli":

"So this video was totally symbolizing her rise to fame with all her music videos playing as she was raised up in the dress, then when she fell back down, spraying the paint everywhere, and the joker smile was her breakdown and trying to act happy, and THAT AWESOME FIGHT SCENE was her fighting the bad parts about her away, and becoming herself again."

We're sold!

Over on the video side of things, fans definitely got busy posting their reactions to the clip. Here are our favorite two. The first from YouTube user, t0xicn3ssaxO.

And the second from user, RolyDelRio (and his dog) (OK mostly his dog):

Here's a special Friday treat for folks: It's a video sneak peek of Yellowcard's upcoming video for the song "For You And Your Denial," taken from the group's soon-to-be-released new album, When You're Through Thinking, Say Yes.

The new album marks the first time we'll have heard from Yellowcard since their recent reunion following a two-year hiatus. "For You And Your Denial" sounds like classic Yellowcard to us, with soaring, treated violin lines flying over a crunching, emo-punk foundation.

This really is a "sneak peek" vid, with the band performing with their backs to the camera on a remote highway in the desert. We'll have to wait for the full-length to get a good glimpse of them!

Check out the video sneak peek of Yellowcard's "For You And Your Denial," below and stay tuned for the official video premiere on Tuesday, February 22. When You're Through Thinking, Say Yes is due out March 22.

We've had some pretty special "Live In NYC" shows over here at MTV, offering you incredible performances from the likes of Sleigh Bells and Warpaint. But this next "Live In NYC" is really something else. It's a breathtaking gig from hometown heroes, The National.

Here we have the sneakiest of sneak peeks of the show. But as teasers go, it's a heck of a glimpse into the soaring beauty and excitement that happens at live National shows.

While performing "Terrible Love" (at the Studio At Webster Hall), from the group's highly acclaimed 2010 album, High Violet, singer Matt Berninger jumps into the crowd, taking the music to the people.

Even though it's only a taste, it'll give you a good idea of the fantastic show we've got in store for you. You can watch the entire "Live In NYC" show by The National on Monday, Feb. 21, at MTV's "Live In NYC" site.

Move over, Britney. There's a new heir to the Video Dance Break throne. And his name is Thom Yorke, lead singer of Radiohead.

Radiohead fans the world over awoke this morning to some amazing news: Radiohead's just-announced album The King of Limbs is officially available for download, along with a video for its first single "Lotus Flower." The song is a smooth rolling jam, girded with a low throbbing bass line and the kind of jangly, off-kilter drum track that Radiohead is known for.

Shot in black and white, the accompanying video for "Lotus Flower," for all intents and purposes, is a performance clip, featuring Thom Yorke in a steampunk-esque bowler hat and his, um, unconventional dance moves. Thom writhes and wriggles, marches in place, spins and pantomimes as he mouths his falsetto vocal. It's no Brian Friedman-choreographed dance opus, but for true Radiohead fans, it's just about perfect.

+ Watch Radiohead's "Lotus Flower" video. The King of Limbs is available for download now.

You probably know Miranda Cosgrove mostly from her role as the titular character on the Nickelodeon show "iCarly." But if you've had the pleasure of listening to any of her music, especially "Kissin U" from her 2010 album, Sparks Fly, you'll know she's quite the burgeoning pop star as well.

In these exclusive interview clips, Miranda talks about both sides of her career. In the first clip, she chats about the thrill of getting to meet Weezer's Rivers Cuomo, via her producer Dr. Luke. In the second clip, she discusses the weirdest "iCarly" fan video she ever saw. WARNING: It's gross!

While we had the opportunity to pick her brain, we also got Miranda to tell us about what she's listening to these days (Radiohead is "ruling her iPod"), what her favorite karaoke song is (Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" or Pat Benatar's "Hit Me With Your Best Shot"), and whether she's team "Twilight" or "Hunger Games. ("Twilight" FTW!)

+ Check out Miranda Cosgrove interview clips and her latest video "Dancing Crazy" below. Miranda Cosgrove's High Maintenance EP comes out March 15.

Happy Britney Day, you guys! That's right: Britney Spears' "Hold It Against Me" video is finally here! After 14 tantalizing teases, plus one teensy bit more satisfying 30-second clip, we can finally watch the video for "Hold It Against Me" in its entirety -- and OMG, is it EPIC! Like, Armageddon epic.

The video opens with a shot of a flaming comet hurtling toward Earth. Oh no! Is this the end of days? Duh, no! When the asteroid hits, it lights up the otherwise dark world with an energizing neon glow. (Perfect for dancing, if you ask me.) Was Britney riding that star on its crash course to Earth? Well, we just don't know.

Next, the video cuts to the futuristic soundstage/photo shoot that we were lucky enough to preview in each of the "Hold It Against Me" teasers. Flashbulbs explode as we get our first glimpse of Ms. Britney Spears, who's looking FIERCE in a skimpy two-piece with matching bullet belt. An entourage of eager, almost-naked male dancers help her slip into her studded jacket (as happens every morning in the Spears household, I imagine) as Britney gets right to the business of singing.

Quick scene and costume change, and Britney is revealed in a voluminous white gown that reminds of a wedding dress -- SPOILER ALERT: some stuff is definitely going to come out from underneath that skirt! -- followed by some amazing beauty shots of our beloved Brit as she rises within a Matrix-like tunnel of televisions playing all of her greatest hits. Is this commentary on the fishbowl nature of fame? Maybe.

Then: DANCE BREAK! Cue the sexy male backup dancers and classic Britney dance moves, plus (BONUS!) a pair of ruby red 'Rocky Horror'-style lips.

And that's not even getting to the best part, i.e. the Britney-on-Britney fight scene! (Don't hold it against me!) Perhaps it goes without saying, but Britney Spears looks INCREDIBLE in the video for "Hold It Against Me." Her hair is tight, her makeup is flawless, the dance moves are on point. Girlfriend knew expectations were high, and she Buh-ROUGHT it.

Anyway, enough chattering on about Britney Spears' new video. You should just watch it for yourself, below. And don't miss "MTV First: Britney Spears' 'Hold It Against Me' Video Premiere," a live discussion on MTV.com at 11 p.m. ET about the new clip and what's next for the pop star!
