You know, for someone who is considered such a sex symbol, it's kind of ironic (AND VERY GRATIFYING) that when no one's watching, Katy Perry kind of dances like your mom. We have video proof! Thanks to MTV's All Access cameras that were set up all around the Nokia Theatre L.A. during the 2011 VMAs, we have an exclusive look into the unique dancing styles of Katy Perry that she was practicing during Beyoncé's live performance of "Love On Top." And by "unique" I mean, "Wait, does she seriously dance like that? TRIUMPH!"

It could have been that GIANT BLOCK ON HER HEAD that was hindering her moves, but from the looks of this exclusive vid, Katy Perry could maybe use an Amazon gift card so she could pick up some of Carmen Electra's instructional DVDs or something. We love you Katy, and we know what a goofball you can be, but when Beyoncé's performing, the swingy elbow dance thing is not what you're supposed to do!!

+ Watch "VMA All Access: Katy Perry's Rhythm" and watch Katy's version of "getting down." And then stand up a little straighter today knowing that even the Video Of The Year winner has a hard time looking cool sometimes.

So yes, everyone's talking about Lady Gaga as Jo Calderone and little Jayoncé (Beyoncé and Jay-Z's baby!) and Bruno Mars' tribute to Amy Winehouse, but what about the stuff you might have missed at the 2011 VMAs? MTV had their cameras set up virtually everywhere at the VMAs, and they allowed visitors to MTV.com to access whatever camera they wanted at any time they wanted. Oh, thought you knew!

In case you happened to just catch the show on TV, we got three exclusive videos from some pretty hilarious moments that you may have missed from the 2011 VMAs. Up first, we have a super stealthy video (no, seriously, you guys got kinda creepy with those angles!) that shows some very private moments that didn't air during the show. We see Tyler, The Creator freaking the eff out in his dressing room, Katy Perry literally running around backstage, Lady Gaga as Jo Calderone lighting Adele's cigarette (!!!!!!!) and an obviously drunk-ish Lady Gaga celebrating her win backstage. This is all access stuff, people!

In our second video, we see Beyoncé's big pregnancy reveal from the beginning of the night to the end. We see her posing in that stunning orange dress on the VMA red carpet as she announces, "I have a surprise," just before she rubs her belly. And after her big reveal during her performance of "Love On Top," we see her run backstage as she's followed by BFF Kelly Rowland and hubby Jay-Z. If you liked Beyoncé before, you'll LOVE her now. She's just the sweetest ever!

+ Watch "2011 VMA All Access: Best-Of Moments" and "2011 VMA All Access: Beyoncé's Big Night" for exclusive, behind-the-scenes footage you didn't see on the show!

Family reunions are the best, especially when they're to celebrate world VMA domination! After receiving two Moonmen for Best Pop Video and the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award , Britney Spears grabbed a cocktail and a cozy spot on the couch to catch up with baby sis, Jamie Lynn Spears. Too much cuteness on one piece of furniture, IMHO.

Everyone knows blood is thicker than water, and there's nothing more adorbz than seeing two related BFFs out for a post-VMA celebratory night on the town. Judging by the cocktail in her hand and total adult-profesh attire, it looks like Jamie Lynn's all grown up, guys. WHAT. When did this even happen!? Remember when she was itty-bitty "Zoey 101," calling boys for dates? Now she's probably calling babysitters on speed dial.

Side note: Does having amazing skin run in the Spears genes? Um, can you add a limb to your family tree for us?

IDK if any of y'all noticed that Justin Bieber seemed kind of somber last night at the 2011 VMAs. The camera cut to him several times throughout the show, and he just didn't seem his usual self. I thought maybe it was a case of the sadz or like, maybe his leopard print high-tops were too tight. I DON'T KNOW, PEOPLE, I'm not a mind reader.

I'm also wrong, apparently, because according to this photo, Justin Bieber was having a damn good time. Video Of The Year winner (w00t!!) Katy Perry and husband Russell Brand were seated in front of Bieber in the audience and posing for what would have been a totally dece photo for the couple's fireplace mantel or a bedroom dresser... until Justin Bieber PHOTOBOMBED the hell out of it! Seriously! Look at that face!

We're glad to see you weren't actually sad last night, Biebs. And that you are still a goofy teenager. Also, commence internet Bieber Photobomb Memegate 2011 NOW.

There's not much we can say about the late Michael Jackson today on what would have been the King Of Pop's 53rd birthday that has not already been said. He's a source of endless inspiration for today's musicians young and old, and his influence can be felt in nearly every genre of music. You can put a quarter in any jukebox in the country, select "Billie Jean," and have a bar full of friends within five minutes. Michael Jackson's music isn't just entertainment; it's a connecting force.

Instead of recapping everything he's done for the music industry, for pop music and the sequined glove market (single-handedly... get it?), we invite you to share your favorite memories of Michael Jackson and what you're doing to remember the pop music icon. I'll start: "The Way You Make Me Feel." On repeat. All day.

Happy birthday, Michael Jackson! To put it simply, thanks.

+ Let us know your favorite Michael Jackson memories in the comments below, including your favorite songs, performances and pop culture moments that you'll always remember.

Deep down, I always knew I'd find a way into Joe Jonas' house (and heart!). And thankfully I didn't have to scale a security gate to get there! To promote his forthcoming album, Fastlife, Joe's created a Ustream series called "Fastlife Fridays," which consists of Joe outlining every minute detail of his past week. Under normal circumstances, this would be totally boring. But when Joe Jonas talks about his week, you shut up and listen 'cause you know his past seven days were probably a tad more exciting than like, your entire life.

While looking fine in a striped T-shirt, Joe walks us through his past seven days -- he's been in Atlantic City, played golf, performed with Jason Derulo at Six Flags and hopped on a plane to Mexico City to perform with Ke$ha. See? 10 times more exciting. I rest my case.

After his week wrap-up, Joe gives us a tour of his home, aka his panty-dropping bachelor pad. Joe's house boasts a BAZILLION dollar view of L.A., a Pac-Man machine, a helmet given to him by Ellen DeGeneres (?), a stainless steel kitchen and a bedroom, which in case anyone is wondering, has a charcoal-colored duvet and matching sheets that I would like to meet in person.

We should probably mention that Joe wears a really weird mask for the second half of the house tour, and it does not effect his babe quotient whatsoever. Real quick: WHY IS HE A HOTNESS ROBOT, AND WHY IS HIS LIFE PERFECT?

+ Watch the latest installment of Joe Jonas' "Fastlife Fridays."

While Justin Bieber may not actually be rapping on his cover of Drake's "Trust Issues," he's sounding so baller and badass that we're assuming Justin's been inhabited by his slightly cooler, more swagged-out alter ego, Shawty Mane. With a little help from Auto-Tune, in his version of  "Trust Issues," Justin's voice almost matches the deep and mature timbre of fellow Canadian and self-professed "big brother" Drake. His voice is so poised, calm and composed that it makes you wonder if this is still the same pop cutie who once sang "Baby" and "One Less Lonely Girl."

As you listen to The Biebs croon his way through Drake's vocal verses, you kinda forget that Justin's still just a teenager who has to contend with a mom and acne and puberty and stuff. That is until you realize he swapped a few R-rated lyrics like "sip" and "f***" for a couple of PG ones like "sing" and "go." Gotta keep the moms of your back, right?

Even though we're pretty sure Shawty Mane inspired his cover of "Trust Issues," Justin pays tribute to his pal Drake by leaving his raps fully intact. And even though we love Drake and all, we're interested to hear some of Justin's own rhymes, Dr. Bieber-style. Next time, Shawty.

+ Listen to Justin Bieber's cover of Drake's "Trust Issues."

Not to discredit anyone's workmanship or creativity, but sometimes when these wax figures of celebrities are unveiled, we're allkinda like, "Um, excuse me, but have you even seen the person that wax figure is supposed to represent?/Were you drunk when you made this?" Not at all the case for Rihanna's wax figure at Madame Tussauds in Berlin, which was revealed this weekend. From the fire engine red hair to the geometry-inspired bodysuit all the way down to the peekaboo garters, whoever was in charge of Rihanna's wax doppelgänger was ON POINT. Cheers (drink to that)!

With her hand on her hip and wearing what is essentially a bathing suit and thigh highs in public, we have to say the most impressive thing about the Wax Rihanna is the fact that the sculptor somehow managed to portray her infamous IDGAF attitude. On a related note, is it weird that I kind of want to put this statue in my house? Like, just in the corner of my bedroom? No? OK, cool, just checking.
