Nicki Minaj is on the June/July cover of Teen Vogue.

Nicki Minaj looks a little TOO happy on the June/July cover of Teen Vogue.

You and I both know that Nicki Minaj isn't exactly the most cheerful girl in town. For one thing, she's got a vaguely AGGRO alter ego named "Roman," she's perfected the art of the eye roll, and let's not forget that pesky feud with her "American Idol" co-judge Mariah Carey. But maybe that's all behind her? Because not only has Nicki swapped her go-to revealing ensembles for literally the girliest/sparkliest/pinkest dress of all time, but the "High School" singer is ALL SMILES (we can practically count all of her teeth) on the June/July cover of Teen Vogue.

Inside the issue, Nicki touches on everything from her childhood ("Every time my parents fought, my mother would have us move and I would have to go to a new school, which meant I'd have to face the task of making new friends") to her stance in the music business, to her opinion on social media: "I used to read the bad things people said about me. Then I asked myself, 'Why am I reading that when I have millions of people saying great things?' You cannot give negativity power." YEAH, GIRL! Now, let's apply that attitude to "American Idol" so you can stay on a while longer, yes?

Listen to a preview of Beyonce's "Rise Up."

Listen to a preview of Beyoncés "Rise Up" from the "Epic" movie soundtrack.

Beyoncé is officially making the movie soundtrack rounds! Actually, she's only on two soundtracks, but that's kind of a lot considering that, well, it's Beyoncé, and girlfriend has a full-time job of wearing rhinestone nipples on her Mrs. Carter Show World Tour. But you know Beyoncé -- she's not about to settle for just one job. Because not only did Bey find a minute to cover Amy Winehouse's "Back To Black" for the Great Gatsby soundtrack, but now she's released a preview of "Rise Up," a brand-new track from the upcoming film "Epic."

Selena Gomez's mom is pregnant!

Selena poses with her pregnant mama on Mother's Day!

We'll start off by saying that anything with the words "Selena," "Gomez," and "Pregnant" could easily cause a major s*** storm of panicked internet readers thinking that Selena Gomez is, well, with child. So before we say anything else, we'll just set the record straight: SELENA GOMEZ ISN'T PREGNANT! Her mom is!

Watch One Direction cover Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On."

Pop star worlds collide! One Direction covered Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On."

We may or may not have thought about what it would sound like if One Direction covered an *NSYNC song ("Digital Get Down," anyone?), a Backstreet Boys song, or even a song by their arch nemesis The Wanted. Want to know what we've never fantasized about, however? Oh, just One Direction covering Celine Dion's iconic record and "Titanic" theme song, "My Heart Will Go On." Well, that exact scenario happened at 1D's concert in Berlin this past Saturday, and once we got over our initial knee-jerk "UGH CELINE DION" shock, we not only decided that we were OK with it, but that we kind of liked it!

Rihanna gives best friend Leandra a lapdance in this photo.

Nothing says "happy birthday" like a bump 'n' grind photo!

We'll be honest -- along with world peace and good health, there are DEFINITELY a few superficial items on our birthday list, including, but not limited to, a lipstick red Celine bag, the Cartier Love bracelet, and maybe a year's worth of prepaid false eyelashes. That said, now that we've seen this photo of Rihanna giving her bestie Leandra a full-on booty bump 'n' grind for her birthday, we'd like to skip the Celine and Cartier. JUST GET US THAT!!

In honor of her bestie Leandra's birthday, the "Stay" singer "turnt up" by snapping a photo with the caption "birthday tun right up!!!! Yassss!!!! #s--tthatmatters happy birthday Lee Lee, we love you always!!!!" Honestly, who knew that in Ri's world "we love you always" DIDN'T mean a diamond-encrusted Rolex and DID mean a personal booty bump? Well, maybe we should've seen this coming. After all, remember that time Rihanna forgot to button her shirt in public, that other time she wore Prada boots and nothing else, or that time she got naked before playing a "Diamonds World Tour" show? We rest our case.

Listen to Mac Miller's "Watching Movies."

Something tells us Mac Miller's "Watching Movies" might be rated NC-17.

We don't want to sound weird, but we'd be into just about ANYTHING featuring a nude Mac Miller. (What?! We have a thing for vaguely emo rappers who know how to love!) Well, lucky for us, Mac's sophomore studio album, Watching Movies With The Sound Off (dropping June 18!), features exactly that.

And that's not all of today's good Mac Miller-related news: Along with Mac's nake-o album art comes a slightly less naked single: "Watching Movies."

Watch Mariah Carey and Miguel's "#Beautiful" video.

Miguel and Mariah Carey sing each other's praises in their "#Beautiful" video.

It's not like we didn't know Mariah Carey's arms were seriously toned (I mean, did you SEE her Cinderella wedding vow renewal dress??), but HOLY EFF, MiMi looks unreal in her "#Beautiful" video featuring soulful throwback R&B crooner Miguel! It's like the return of the "Fantasy"-era abs up in here, and we are NOT complaining.

Justin Bieber enjoys a beer when there are possibly wild animals nearby in South Africa.

Justin Bieber enjoys a cold beer in the jungle.

Alllllllright, ladies and gents. Let's all just calm down and approach this situation -- the above photo of Justin Bieber enjoying a cold beer in the jungle -- with logic and reason. Because yes, it may be a little off-putting to see the once purple-obsessed baby tot act all adult with a beer in hand, but then again, what's the kid supposed to do? ONLY hydrate with water for the rest of his life?

Anyway, before y'all get all up in arms about how Justin's still technically underage, consider this factoid: Per our calculations, Justin's "Believe" tour is on a stopover in South Africa, where the legal drinking age is 18. That's one year younger than Justin, who is 19, which also means he's also old enough to drink in his home country of Canada. Along with the above photo, Justin succinctly captioned, "Beers in the jungle." So yeah, we guess the moral here is that Justin Bieber is 19, and he drinks beer. Also, we feel like if you're old enough to sit shirtless while your girlfriend caresses your midsection, you're probably old enough to have a drink (in Africa). We would, however, advise Justin NOT to Instagram his alcohol intake in the future, mainly because we assume that there's NOTHING, and we repeat NOTHING, more frightening than an angry swarm of "Moms of Beliebers" coming atcha!

Tokio Hotel

Aw, it's a picture-perfect family photo of Tokio Hotel!

We have some Tokio Hotel-related things to discuss with you today. First, please direct your eyes to the above photo. No, really, just sit back and soak it in! Because if that's not the most perfect, frame-worthy Kodak moment that captures the essences of our German idols, then you're just doing it all wrong and you always have been. The gentle lean against the wall, the pensive stare... it's BEAUTIFUL. (And it's also going up on our fridge next to this photo of Justin and Selena.)

The Buzz On: Mike Tompkins

You heard it here first: Mike Tompkins is the most popular person on the internet.

Meet Mike Tompkins. Well, actually, if you spend ANY time on the computer, you might've already "e"-met Mike since he's basically the most "YouTube famous" musician around (ahemmmm, just ask his 130 million views and 825k YouTube subscribers). But on the off chance that you're NOT familiar with Mike, then we'll give you the full 411 on his pop/a cappella vibe (popcapella?), his awesome YouTube covers, and his slick, radio-friendly originals. And no, I don't need any royalties on the word "popcappella," thanks for asking.
