As if the release of the new Batman video game "Arkham City" wasn't enough to thrill you (but no seriously, I'm actually a closet gamer) then how about the fact that the game will feature a brand-new Panic! At The Disco song?! Slated to appear on Batman: Arkham City -- The Album, the track is titled "Mercenary" and is a dramatic tune inspired by mystery, thievery and espionage! And yep, I've seen all the Batman movies so I'm qualified to say that, OK? Step back.

While "Mercenary" features the same pop/punk characteristics as Panic! At The Disco's previous hits, there's a notably darker and grittier undertone. Lead singer Brendon Urie sings, " 'Hey mister,' the bellman says/'I can only recall this nice hotel,' I said/So he replies, 'Then how do you manage?'/I dodge the glass and apologize for collateral damage." The best part comes next -- an actual dialogue-laden breakdown that features lines from the game! Mega-villain Hugo Strange asks Batman, "How does it feel to stand on the very stones that ran with your parents’ blood?" If you don't know the general Batman plot, then we won't spoil it for you but lets just say that our main man Batman is a badass and takes care of business, as usual.

Batman: Arkham City — The Album is slated for release Oct. 4.

When we found out Beyoncé was pregnant during the night of the VMAs, when she opened that sequined jacket and revealed her sprouting lil' baby bump, not only did we nearly pee on ourselves like the rest of the world, but we also began to immediately think about alllll the possibilities that come with the news of a new baby. What will she and Jay-Z name their bundle of joy? What if they have twins? What will be on their baby shower registry? And perhaps most important, WILL BEYONCÉ DO REGULAR MOM THINGS LIKE GO TO THE GROCERY STORE AND DRIVE CARPOOLS IN MOM-MOBILE VANS?!

Seriously, we always see the "Best Thing I Never Had" singer decked out in expensive, shiny clothes and going to fancy, exclusive places. When does someone like that have time to go to the grocery store or do the laundry or change a diaper?

Since the paparazzi will (HOPEFULLY) never get that kind of stuff on tape, with a little help from Photoshop, we've documented some iconic Beyoncé-as-mom moments for your viewing pleasure.

Leave it to Beyoncé, hottest mom-to-be EVER, to look like a million bucks while folding the family's delicates. She's all, "I don't know where this wind is coming from, but it works for me."

After the jump, check out some of our faves below and be sure to peep all the photos in BUZZWORTHY'S BEYONCÉ DOING REGULAR MOM THINGS PHOTO GALLERY! (Seriously hilar, if we do say so ourselves.)

While Katy Perry has established herself as quite the trendsetter (pink hair, anyone?), we're not sure what we're feeling about the "accessory" she recently sported at Rio de Janeiro's airport. On one hand, the mask is effing creepy. Unless it's Halloween (or one of those peel-off masks from the drugstore) there is not a single reason to be wearing such a ridic thing on your face. On the other hand, IT'S EFFING GENIUS!! Distracting the paparazzi and skipping your makeup?! That cuts your a.m. routine in half!

Katy Perry's Carmen Miranda moment could change the face (get it?) of how famous people go out in public FOREVER. Instead of wearing oversize sunglasses or putting their hands up to their faces, celebs could have favorite disguises on hand. For example, Katy went with your everyday fruit-on-the-head look, but we'd love to see what other options were available in that val-u-pack (or maybe not). Better yet, imagine the utter pandemonium if celebs started wearing masks of other celebs! Or what if Katy launched her own line of "fan masks," where she works the faces of her own fans? Guys, famous people would be just like... us!

OK, internet, time to CALM IT DOWN! I appreciate a juicy scandal as much as the next person, but a scandal is not, say, a scandal if it's actually NOT TRUE!

If you haven't been paying attention to the latest "leaked photo" meltdowns, we'll get you up to speed. Recently, Scarlett Johansson and Mila Kunis have been the victims of some seriously sly cell phone hacking. (And thankfully now we all know what "ScarlettJohanssoning" is.) So when a semi-provocative pic of Miley Cyrus made its way around the internet, everyone assumed it was part of that same hack-a-thon. But time to check yo-selves.

You're wrong, dudes! Any pop music connoisseur (ahem, us) would be able to tell you that this sexy-time image is actually from the set of Miley's 2010 music video "Who Owns My Heart." (And thank goodness because no one should legally be allowed such shiny sheets in their own home.) And can we be real for a second? Even if this was a "leaked" photo, Miley is 18 now, guys! She can wear a tank top and granny panties to bed if she wants! I've been doing that since I was like 7 so you know, alert the authorities!

Also, we're pretty sure she's told us this loud and clear: MILEY CYRUS CANNOT BE TAMED!!

Even though Rihanna recently released her single "Cheers (Drink To That)" off of her latest album, Loud, she's already on to the next one. Today Rihanna dropped "We Found Love," a Calvin Harris-produced track off of her yet-untitled upcoming album, set to drop this November. Overachiever much?

After revealing the lyrics and the song title yesterday on her Facebook and Twitter, "We Found Love" hit the internet today, and fans are hearing a whole new side to their favorite Barbados singer. RiRi's taking us to da club, y'all! The synth-heavy track opens as Rihanna calls out for the dude she's crushin' on: "Yellow diamonds in the light/And we're standing side by side/As your shadow crosses mine/What it takes to come alive/It's the way I'm feeling, I just can't deny/But I've gotta let it go." And then the song gets straight up "Jersey Shore" in this b****: glow sticks, fist pumping, hair gel, the whole nine. And we mean that in a good way.

While experienced UK DJ Harris' influence on the song is palpable, "We Found Love" is still very much a Rihanna track, as she's always known how to get people to the dance floor. But this time around, she's getting them to the dance floor and making them sweat their faces off, which coincidentally, only looks good on Rihanna.

What kind of cover song pro would Taylor Swift be if she made a stop in Louisiana and didn't pay homage to the state's most famous musical success story? While some might argue it's Elvis (and mad props to the king, y'all!), our vote goes to Britney Spears, because duhhhhh (have you read our blog?). So when her "Speak Now" tour rolled through Louisiana, Taylor Swift covered Brit's 2000 song "Lucky."

Though the video is sideways and features the amateur videographer's own personal sing-along, the excitement in her voice is a testament to Taylor's song choice. Or in other words, we can almost guarantee that every normal, living, breathing Louisiana-bred girl in attendance at Taylor's show is also obsessed with Britney Spears.

In her signature lilac dress, Taylor takes a seat and strums the first chords of "Lucky" on her guitar. The audience naturally goes NUTS as they sing in unison: "Early morning/She wakes up/With a knock, knock, knock on the the door/It's time for makeup/Perfect smile/It's you they're all waiting for." (OK, LIKE YOU ACTUALLY NEEDED ME TO TYPE THOSE OUT??)

The audience screams a perpetual stream of "I love you Taylor!!!" as they enjoy what is likely the best sing-along of their lives! As she plays the last chord of Britney's song, the magnitude of what just went down finally hits the audience and they fall into a psychotic frenzy, screaming "Taylor! Taylor! Taylor!" Accustomed to this sort of audience flip-out, a composed Swift flashes the fans her biggest and brightest toothy smile and then gracefully transitions into her next song. Like a bawss.

Just because you worship at the altar of Pierce The Veil or Woe Is Me doesn't mean you can't secretly enjoy Katy Perry's lighthearted romp through bubble-gum flavored '80s nostalgia or Ke$ha's endless commitment to glitter. Or AutoTune. Come on. You KNOW you bump Britney in the car. Which is why we're stoked to announce the official track list for Punk Goes Pop Volume 4, the fourth installation of our all-time favorite compilation album wherein some of our favorite punk bands cover some of our favorite pop songs.

Punk Goes Pop Volume 4 features the unlikely makeover of monster hits such as Wiz Khalifa's "Roll Up" and Nicki Minaj's unstoppably hypnotic Super Bass," plus, adorably, Taylor Swift's lilting "You Belong With Me" and Adele's haunting contralto torch song by hard-core acts such as For All Those Sleeping and Sleeping With Sirens. For those who like their country-crossover pop with a heavy dose of power chords and screamo.

+ Check out the Punk Goes Pop Volume 4 track list, and get the album Nov. 22 on Fearless Records.

In a departure from the usual boho/badass look we've been seeing Demi Lovato in lately, she was spotted yesterday leaving her New York apartment DOING WERQUE in a chic black ensemb with a sheer white cropped shirt. But I guess it's about time to change your game up when your album, Unbroken, goes to No. 1 on iTunes within the hour it was released. Boss status.

Demi Lovato's been having quite the year. She's been all over the place lately, looking flier than ever, and she's gaining fans left and right. She also recently gained some hip-hop cred by covering Lil Wayne's "How To Love," and homegirl is currently gearing up to shoot her "Who's That Boy" video. In the words of Kanye West, "Go 'head girl, go 'head, get down."

Taking a cue from OK Go's "End Love" and their own video for "Typical," New Orleans rock band MUTEMATH returns with the time-lapsing video for "Blood Pressure," their lead single off the band's upcoming third album, Odd Soul.

Set inside a drab, featureless parking lot to accentuate the clever camera tricks, "Blood Pressure" finds the band and director/drummer Darren King playing with time and space, using time-lapse photography to create a warped, trippy display of the band. (We're particularly impressed by lead singer Paul Meany's wicked movable handstand.) While King and bassist Roy Mitchell-Cárdenas alternate between foreground and background, the camera gets up close and personal with Meany. And that's when things get really weird.

As various members are suspended in the air and flung across the screen, the video becomes increasingly manic and disorienting, but we're not complaining. By the time King and the other members engage in a time-lapsed battle of drums versus drumsticks, culminating with confetti raining down à la the band's "Typical" video, we're pretty much left in a spent heap.

Odd Souls is out Oct. 4 on Warner Bros.
