Yesterday was a big day on the internet for Beyoncé fans -- we finally got the full official version of her new single, "Run The World (Girls)," and we also got a quick, 17-second sneak peek at her video for the song.

I don't know about y'all, but when I first heard "Run The World (Girls)," I definitely went a little buck wild, Oprah style:

But I checked with the rest of the internet to make sure I wasn't the only one.

Over at Beyoncé fan HQ, also known as ONTD, people were praising the return of Queen B in the sneak peek of the video for "Run The World (Girls)." User "ashanishilynn" said, "DEAD AT THE WHITE OUTFIT WITH THE BEAUTIFUL HAIR ON THE F***ING HORSE!!!! But I can't wait for the songs, Beyoncé makes some good a** music." And "cantbetamed" replied, "Love it, idgaf. Baddest b*** in the game, etc. Playtime is over, kids, the Queen has arrived!"

But it was user "Fiqary" who best summed up our thoughts about the new video: "OMG, its gonna be good," she said, followed by the best GIF ever:

Over on Twitter, reactions were pretty similar. Lots of fist pumping, booty booty poppin' poppin' and whatnot. But our favorite Beyoncé reaction tweet comes from one of our favorite people: Mindy Kaling from NBC's "The Office":

Yes! Could you imagine?! Beyoncé with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler?! And that horse?! Best. Video. EVER.

What did you guys think of Beyoncé's "Run The World (Girls)"? And the snippet of the video? Are you excited or what?! Let us know in the comments!

There are clearly reasons we feel :O writing this. Maybe because we still think of Nick and Joe Jonas as kids (which they are not!). I don't know. But Joe and Nick Jonas were spotted on the beach in Hawaii, shirtless, and OMGGGGGGGGGGG YOU GUYYYYYYYZ!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!1!  *Swoon* *pant* *faint* *THUD!*

(Just fainted.)

(...)

(...Ok, we're back!)

Usually, men take their shirts off at the beach, and onlookers are often pleased if those men are attractive or built nicely because, hey, good for you and everyone else, right? That's how the world works. But if you're international heartthrobs like the JoBros. are, and you are very, very, very attractive and SUPER buff, it's likely that mortals like us will temporarily go blind, lose our minds, pick up the pieces, lose our minds again and then try to momentarily decompress before we cast our eyes on such a beautiful sight once again. Granted, both brothers are absolutely legal young adults, so it's not like we're CREEPY or anything. We're just big fans. Big, big, big, big fans. You know, we wouldn't even protest if Nick was cast as Spider-Man or The Incredible Hulk or Superman. Sure, he may have only played himself in Disney movies, but we're sure he'd do a skintight bodysuit justice. He's already been in "Les Miserables." Why couldn't he conquer Broadway in the lead role of "Spider-Man"? Right? Just imagine that costume...

Uh oh, here it comes again...

*THUD!*

First, Lady Gaga poses with the Evil Queen. Then, Beyoncé is spotted wearing a Goofy hat (with the floppy ears, buck teeth and the whole nine yards). And now we can include Ke$ha as the latest singer to show up to the Happiest Place on Earth, getting in some cuddle time with The White Rabbit from "Alice In Wonderland." She even dressed down for the occasion, trading in her signature facial glitter and tattered stockings everything for a black baby doll dress and hot pink kicks. She probably just didn't want to scare the kids -- there's already enough of that at the creepy Captain EO exhibit (R.I.P. M.J.).

What's up with all these famous singers visiting Disney? Is it possible that Mickey Mouse is trying to turn a corner by inviting some of the world's most colorful female performers to liven up the grounds a little bit? As much as we love to visit Disney, Epcot is essentially a peek into the future circa 1980 ("Buttons! Knobs! VIDEO TELEPHONES!"), and we doubt anyone is necessarily rushing to get their picture taken with Mulan. So it actually makes sense to bring in some new blood, especially when the blood is seasoned with chart-topping hits and a more loyal following than Donald Duck (although he tends to wear pants less often than Gaga, so go figure).

Ke$ha and all of her glitter glory will be hitting the small screen when she appears as a guest star on Nickelodeon's "Victorious" on tomorrow's Earth Day episode. In the episode, Tori (Victoria Justice's character) tries to win a Ke$ha performance for her sister after losing a bet.

It looks like the "We R Who We R" singer will be showing off her American pride in the episode. Here we see her in an American flag tee, combat boots, 50 percent less pants than Victoria Justice and a light-up ammunition necklace/sash. Don't worry, guys, Ke$ha's still in the clear -- the rule is no ammo necklaces after Labor Day.

+ Check out the "Victorious" website for a sneak peek of Ke$ha's acting chops, and tune in to Nickelodeon Friday, April 22, at 8 p.m. ET for the full episode!

It's not fair when people are so attractive that they can make stupid clothes look really nice. For example, Beyonce went to Disneyland in Paris, and she was photographed wearing not just a goofy hat, but a Goofy hat. With the floppy ears and everything! The thing even has two buck teeth hanging from the rim. And somehow, while it would look perfectly reasonable on the head of somebody's slovenly stepdad in camouflaged cargo shorts, it looks -- dare we say? -- hot on Beyonce. She makes a Goofy hat hot.

Maybe it's that element of ironic detachment that gives it a sort of hipster flair, or maybe we're just being apologetic for no reason. Because, seriously, she looks gorgeous. Like, how does she do that? Is Beyonce an alien? Is that how she does it? Do you guys think she has alien blood running through her alien veins, and that's why she can make THE GOOFY HAT look like a must-have accessory? Are fashion magazines going to start shilling high-end visors now because Beyonce is a perfect alien?

Just a theory.

Welcome to 2011. We live in a weird world now. Teenagers can pay people to pen entire songs and film music videos for them. Whether or not they have talent to acquire fame and your hard-earned money is officially irrelevant. There have always been people famous for things that shouldn't make someone famous. But because "The Real Housewives" is a successful reality TV franchise on Bravo, a lot of people are now familiar with ladies who are on TV because they are wealthy, wear jewel tones and jewels, and incite fights over, like, tablescapes. That's just how it is: If you are loud enough and can cause enough fights (or, in reality television's term of choice, "drama"), you, too, can become a "Bravolebrity," or a maniacally self-important person whose own maniacal self-importance can translate into good ratings and the chance to turn the clock back on feminism by about 30 years.

If you're Simon Van Kempen, you're a hotelier turned social media guy, whose wife Alex is on the show "The Real Housewives of New York City"/ Brooklyn. You don't mind wearing sequined rainbow shrugs or striped pants.

Also, If you're Simon Van Kampen, you take a cue from your wife's castmate, Countess LuAnn de Lesseps, who recorded a "song" in which she "sang" about having class, which is a theme that runs through every "Housewives" franchise. The Countess took it seriously, thinking she was a real singer, which is unfortunate, not just because it perpetuates terrible things for terrible people (and further curbs our chance to discover musicians with actual talent), but because it made Simon think that he, too, could -- and should -- record a song.

That song is now a reality. It's called "I Am Real," and in it, Simon opines about "being a celebrity," name-checks Twitter and uses catchphrases that haven't even aired on the show yet do appear on his T-shirt. Simon sings, "I am real, I ain't gonna change/I am real, I am who I am, and that's the deal." OK, we get it, dude. You're doing you. Cool. However, exactly who is trying to "change" you? Why do you defending your authenticity? That's something that Destiny's Child did, like, 11 years ago. You don't need to do that. Give your stripy pants back to Jamiroquai, and maybe... stop making songs.

If you're going to judge a vocal competition like "The Voice," you'd better be good at your job. Needless to say, Adam Levine, Cee Lo, Blake Shelton and Christina Aguilera are all pretty good at what they do. And now they're all laying their cards out as judges on the new NBC show "The Voice," where they'll coach singers and crown a talented contestant with the ultimate title of The Voice (not to mention a whopping $100,000). The catch here, however, is that, initially, their backs will be turned to contestants, so their votes will be based solely on vocal prowess.

Of course, Christina, Blake, Adam and Cee Lo all look extremely different from one another (what we would give to see Christina and Cee Lo exchange wardrobe, just for a day), but each has one thing in common (aside from being famous): voice. (Get it??) This preview of the motley crue joining forces to cover "Crazy" (which Cee Lo originated with Danger Mouse as half of the pop outfit Gnarls Barkley) is nothing short of... well... weird. It's weird. And yet... we can't stop watching.

Hey, kids! Welcome back to my weekly roundup of all the coolest things on the internet (well, except for the naughty stuff).

1.) Why you shouldn't believe everything you read: Lady Gaga didn't actually put the kibosh on a Weird Al Yankovic parody of "Born This Way." She just hadn't heard it yet. She's a "really big" fan, you see. And she approved it! Phew! So here's that parody, "Perform This Way." (Gawker)

2.) Not exactly sure why this video of a toddler sleep-dancing -- and eventually waking up -- to Waka Flocka Flame's "Grove St. Party" went viral: This is how I wake up EVERY MORNING. (Urlesque)

3.) Good news/bad news for "Glee" star Matthew Morrison. Good news: His "Rocket Man" duet with Elton John is amazing and we LOVE it and it's destined to be a classic and yay! for his solo album. Bad news: His house is full of RAT POOP. (People, Us magazine)

4.) Duran Duran covered Lady Gaga's "Poker Face" at Coachella (more on that in a bit). (Oh No They Didn't)

5.) Okay, promise me you won't click on this link unless you are ALL DONE with work/school/any other activity that is vital to your continued existence for the day, cool? Because once you've fallen into Cute Roulette, there's really no way to get out again... (cuteroulette.com)

...

...

Okay... whoa, WHOA... I'm back... and it's four hours later!!!!! Dude, I TOLD YOU!

6.) The Royal Wedding is next Friday, and many people are very excited about that. I am more excited about the amazing Tumblr Kate Middleton FTW, dedicated to exhaustively mining the depths of the Future Queen's inner thoughts. (Tumblr)

7.) Here at Buzzworthy, we ladies often find ourselves confused/guilty/conflicted over our feelings for Justin Bieber. Because, you know, the whole "being 17" thing. BRIGHT SIDE: Crushable has compiled a list of 25 guys under 25 (Biebs included), and 23 of them are LEGAL EAGLES! (Crushable)

8.) Oh, also at Buzzworthy, we love animated GIFs so much!!!! Maybe you'd noticed. That's why we have a whole category for Favorite Animated GIF in the O Music Awards. While those are mostly funny, these 20 super lifelike animated images really stepped up the GIF game. (DVICE)

9.) Coachella Music and Arts Festival was last weekend. Some people think the event is all about peeping the year's biggest bands, and that's true to an extent, but it's also about peeping super stylish concert-goers in their very best indie fashions. Nylon made a drool-inducing Best Dressed roundup for this express purpose. (Nylon)

10.) It takes a brave woman to let her boyfriend do her makeup. Because, ladies, let's be honest, straight guys, well, most of them just dun get it. Our fave ladies at MTV Style -- who, round these parts, we refer to as the Stylettes -- gathered up all the best "My Boyfriend Does My Makeup" vids in one tidy spot. Hilarity ensues. Enjoy! (MTV Style)

We've got nothing but love for Demi Lovato here at Buzzworthy, as the singer is proving herself to be quite the brave young lady. Demi recently joined forces with Seventeen magazine for the "Love Is Louder" campaign, which is aimed at helping young girls deal with the pressure to be perfect. And in her first interview after her stint in a rehab facility, the "Remember December" singer has not only revealed intimate details about her struggles with bullying, an eating disorder and self-mutilation, but she's also opening up about her bipolar diagnosis.

"I had no idea that I was even bipolar until I went into treatment," Demi told ABC's Robin Roberts in her upcoming "20/20" interview. "I was actually manic a lot of the times that I would take on workloads... I was conquering the world, but then I would come crashing down, and I would be more depressed than ever."

It's hard to remember that so many of the young stars we see in the media are just that -- young stars. Some teenagers in the spotlight oftentimes have heavier workloads than people twice their age, and Demi Lovato was no exception. Given that she has so many young fans, we can't praise her enough for being so honest about her issues, and we think she's a fantastic role model. We heart you, Demi!

Watch Demi Lovato's full "20/20" interview this Friday, April 22, at 10 p.m. ET on ABC.
