Rihanna chills with her brother in London

Rihanna makes it a family affair!

Seriously, we have to ask: WHAT IS GOING ON HERE? First, we see Rihanna fully clothed at an impromptu photo shoot in front of the Eiffel Tower, and now she's wearing EVEN MORE CLOTHES while chilling in London with her baby brother, Rajad Fenty! (And yes, when you wear an epic denim thong and/or thigh-high boots as "pants," midriff-revealing overalls and an itsy-bitsy bandeau bra totally count as clothed.)

Check out more photos of Rihanna and her brother after the jump.

Watch Driver Friendly's "Run" video.

Driven Friendly get televised in their "Run" video.

We first got to know Austin seven-piece alt-rock troupe Driver Friendly (Nate Bazooka, Tyler Dagger, Andy Lane, Jeremi Mattern, Juan Lopez, Andy Rector, and Chris Walker) at the 2013 MTVU Woodies Festival when they told us about their favorite motto, "full bucket." (According to the band, if you're at the beach and you've got all your accessories -- sun block, flip flops, towel, cooler full of brewskis -- then you're having a "full bucket" kind of day.)

But the boys aren't just a band with a few catchy mottos. Channeling early-to-mid-aughts pop acts like Jimmy Eat World and OK GO with up-tempo songs like "Ghosts" and "Mesidonna," Driver Friendly recently released their latest EP, Peaks + Valleys and an aesthetically fascinating new "Run" video, where the guys rock out in a room lined wall-to-wall with TV screens. So, per their logic, the boys' new "Run" video is so "full bucket," that the "water" (or whatever's in the bucket) has actually spilled over the sides. Their bucket runneth over!

Kanye_baby name

What did Kim and Kanye name their baby girl? We don't know, but we're getting to the bottom of it!

In case you suffered from a massive power outage and/or a case of not giving any/ all f*cks this weekend and you're only now just coming back online, you're probably acutely aware that this weekend, Kim Kardashian gave birth to a baby girl, the first child for both her and boyfriend/ baby daddy Kanye West. Praises Yeezus! But there's only one problem: We, the deserving public, still don't have a baby name for the second coming/ sweet little bundle of extremely -- and I mean EXTREMELY -- wealthy joy.

Neither glowing mother nor new father are known for doing much privately or without fanfare and an entire film crew on them -- Kim Kardashian's brought a camera man along with her to the doctor's office (and into her sister's bikini wax appointment, where no camera crew should ever be allowed to go), and Kanye West coined himself the son of God and released songs from his new Yeezus album by projecting his own image on 66 buildings around the world. These guys go big or go home... to one of their extremely, extremely expensive homes. Oh, and Kanye also nonchalantly likened himself to Michael Jordan and Steve Jobs in the same breath. As one occasionally does! See! Everything is bigger and better and highly public when you're Kim and/or Kanye, which you're definitely not. Which is why it's KILLING US SOFTLY not knowing what Kim and Kanye named their little baby girl. So, we did what any reasonable adults hysterically refreshing Google News every 30 seconds in hopes of a Kim and Kanye baby name update would do -- we named that damn baby ourselves.

Acting like we have any sort of stake in the naming rights of Baby Kimye, MTV News' Christina Garibaldi and myself (Tamar Anitai!) picked our predictions for Kim and Kanye's baby's name. Our favorites include Krossant and Kraylor Swift, but I'm really hoping -- nay, praying to Lord Yeezus -- that they'll just name her "Hennngh?" Hengh? Just watch.

While Hunter likes Nashville, his true love is the road, as we see in his latest "For The Love Of Music" webisode.

Hunter Hayes goes back on tour in his latest "For The Love Of Music" webisode.

It's official: Hunter Hayes is having a HUGE week. Not only is the country-pop wunderkind dropping a new album, (Encore) and performing an "MTV Artist To Watch Live" show at NYC's Webster Hall on Tuesday, June 18, but he's just released a brand-new "For The Love Of Music" webisode! (That sound you hear is the screams of #Hayniacs losing their collective minds.)

Hayley Williams has the ultimate high kick while performing in the Netherlands!

Paramore's Hayley Williams does a high kick better than anyone!

If you thought the only rock star skill Paramore's Hayley Williams had up her sleeve (y'know, besides her killer vocals) was her epic hair-whipping abilities, you'd be terribly mistaken. Case in point: Hayley can high kick with the ease of Gabby Douglas crushing an uneven bars routine! We're not joking. We took a ruler to the above photo and accurately measured her kick at about "HOW DID SHE EFFING DO THAT" feet and "IS THERE ANYTHING SHE CAN'T DO?!" inches.

The "Still Into You" singer was snapped giving a little Sally O'Malley kick while onstage in the Netherlands, and now we officially know what Hayley's been up to in her downtime -- some serious yoga stretching! That, or she's an ex-Rockette who gave up sheer panty hose and a tight bun for black stockings and hair that resembles various stages of fire. Well, no matter how Hayley caught that acrobatic air, we don't suggest trying her move at home. This is for professional rock stars, gymnasts, and cheerleaders (is there going to be a "Bring It On" four? PLEASE?) only. Trust us. (No, really -- we just attempted it and we're currently writing this from the floor covered in ice packs.)

Victoria Justice's new single, "Gold," is a perfect summer jam.

Victoria Justice shines bright on her latest single, "Gold."

We've felt a sense of injustice NOT having a new Victoria Justice song to add to our summer playlist (see what we did there?), but guess what? The wait is over! The Nickelodeon star-turned-pop sensation has FINALLY dropped her new tune, "Gold," which you can officially download June 18. Now, would someone PLEASE invite us over to their pool so we can practice our synchronized swimming routine to this jam? J/K! (Kinda...)

Alicia Keys performs on 'VH1 Storytellers'

Listen to Alicia Keys' stripped-down "No One" rendition on "VH1 Storytellers."

Alicia Keys is kind of having a moment. Between hooking up with Maxwell in her "Fire We Make" video, and then, you know, the giant rhinestone-encrusted Vegas-style headdress in her "Tears Always Win" video, the "New Day" singer is basically living out every single one of our fantasies! (Doesn't everyone dream about Maxwell?) Add her recent stint on "VH1 Storytellers" to the list, and you'll understand if we lose the ability to speak due to our immense feelings of jealousy. And, just because WE CARE, today we're bringing you an exclusive, live recording of Alicia's smash "No One" from "VH1 Storytellers." #WELCOME.

Paul McCartney joins up with The Bloody Beetroots and Youth on "Out Of Sight."

We have to admit, when we heard the words "Paul McCartney" and "electronic track" together, we came down with a serious case of the #SMH's. We should've known better. The erstwhile Beatle has long been a musical polymath, well ahead of the curve in a variety of genres. Even still, we never would've expected his "Out Of Sight" collaboration with The Bloody Beetroots, with a helping hand from Youth, to be this good.

Listen to Britney Spears' "Ooh La La."

Listen to Britney Spears' sunshiny "Smurfs 2" jam, "Ooh La La."

#PRAISE! IT'S FINALLY HERE!! Britney Spears' contribution to the "Smurfs 2" soundtrack is called "Ooh La La," and it's a bouncy, lively track that's perfect for kids of all ages. Seriously, anyone between the ages of two and 32 WILL LOVE IT. But also keep in mind that there probably won't be any gyrating or bedroom scenes in the forthcoming music video, if y'all know what I mean. (Britney Lite, if you will.) And last thing: Please note that we have a small number of happy Britney GIFs in this post, because that's how we best express ourselves.
