Watch twenty one pilots' summer festival tips.

2013 Hangout Fest performers twenty | one | pilots reveal their must-know summer festival tips.

Need we remind you again that SUMMER'S COMING? Yep, the weather's warming up (any day now, we swear), and all we can think about are pool parties, beach soirees, and outdoor music festivals. Actually, to rephrase: beach parties and outdoor music festivals COMBINED. That's why we cannot WAIT to spend this weekend rocking out at the 2013 Hangout Music Festival at Alabama's Gulf Shore (hosting names like Ellie Goulding, Passion Pit, Stevie Wonder, and more). And you know us -- we like to be prepared. What to bring?! That's why we caught up with rap-rock-tronica duo and fellow Hangout Music Festival performers twenty | one | pilots to chat summer festival-going tips.

Listen to Gilbere Forte "Nolita" featuring Active Child.

Buzz On alum Gilbere Forté is back with the Active Child-assisted "Nolita."

Don't say we didn't warn you that "Buzz On" alum and Philly rapper Gilbere Forté was headed for a Kanye-style career trajectory. (Just look to his collabs with Pusha T, Tyga, and Big K.R.I.T, as well as his recent sign to Epic Records!) And not to toot our own horn (or Gilbere's), but this kid is WELL on his way to fulfilling that Kanye prophecy (and general hip-hop game domination) with his latest track: the grimy, atmospheric, and RAAK-produced "Nolita," with supporting vocals from indie gloom masters Active Child.

Kelly Rowland gets real in her new song, "Dirty Laundry."

Kelly Rowland airs some "Dirty Laundry" in her brand-new track.

We kind of want to give Kelly Rowland an e-hug right now! (We sent it! Hope she got it!) Because aside from our ploy to actually touch Kelly Rowland's shoulder, after listening to Kel's revealing new record, "Dirty Laundry," off her forthcoming Talk A Good Game album, we feel like maybe a few extra hugs couldn't hurt.

Miley Cyrus has a private pose-off in the studio!

If Miley Cyrus is gonna record, she's gonna do it in STYLE.

First off, Miley Cyrus is back in the studio with Pharrell! And hey, it's not like that's actually news to us, but the general concept still thrills us to no end. But now on to more important subjects: SELFIES! After all, it IS Miley's favorite thing to do, so why shouldn't she have a quick "vogue-off" moment next to the keyboards? (Also, DYING FOR THAT HAIR WRAP!)

The "Ashtrays And Heartbreaks" singer snapped the photo in the studio with the caption "Studio with @Pharrell & @StacyBarthe (swaggajacked her sickkkk glasses)." Now, we'd just like to point out that we toooootally predicted this kind of in-studio behavior. How? Because if you were the No. 1 girl on Maxim's Hot 100 list, wouldn't you want to take nonstop selfies of your contest-winning body and face at all times? And here's the other thing: It's not like we don't love Miley's frequent dog-stagrams, it's just that those don't exactly motivate us to put down the carbs and hit the Pilates mat! June is right around the corner, so a few more toned abs photos would be great, Miley! #BikiniSeasonIsComing

Drake received a whopping 12 BET Awards nominations.

+ It looks like Christina Aguilera may be returning to "The Voice" for Season 5! According to Deadline Hollywood, Xtina has signed her contract, and fellow former judge Cee Lo Green is also close to reaching a deal. Shakira and Usher took their places this season. (MTV News)

+ Speaking of "The Voice," last night's episode featured a suave performance from Robin Thicke, Pharrell Williams, and T.I., who sang Robin's new tune "Blurred Lines." (Neon Limelight)

+ Beyoncé canceled her Antwerp, Belgium tour date on doctor's orders as she's reportedly suffering from dehydration and exhaustion. She's currently in the midst of her European leg of the "Mrs. Carter World Tour," which heads to the States beginning June 28. Feel better soon, Bey! (MTV News)

Paramore's Hayley Williams whips her hair like a boss on stage in New Jersey.

Everyone bow down to Hayley Williams and her stellar hair whip!

Some rock stars, like Paramore's Hayley Williams, are born with a special gene that allows them to DOMINATE the hair-whipping game! It's a talent that Willow Smith, Taylor Momsen, and even Demi Lovato have mastered, but because Hayley wins at everything, here's a photo of her taking down every other whip in history. Just TRY not to get hypnotized by the beautiful rainbow-follicle brilliance. Seriously, this is better than any shampoo commercial we've ever seen!

The "Still Into You" singer was snapped rocking the EFF out during her performance at the Susquehanna Bank Center in Camden, N.J. Aside from kinda looking a little bit like Jem from "Jem and The Holograms" (which is a HUGE compliment), we can't get over the actual agility it takes to nail this move. Does Hayley have some sort of personal hair-whipping trainer who walks her through proper stretches and exercises so she doesn't hurt herself?! 'Cause we just attempted to imitate it and, um, may have just pulled about fifty muscles. We should really leave these things to the pros.

Justin Bieber serenades his mom for Mother's Day.

Aaaand the "Best Son Ever" award goes to Justin Bieber!

What did you get your mom for Mother's day? Chocolates? Flowers? A prepaid paraffin mani-pedi? Yeah, well, ZERO OF THOSE THINGS compare to what Justin Bieber gave his mama, Pattie Mallette, for Mother's Day. Justin could have gotten his mom jewelry, an expensive vacation, or her very own private jet, but nope -- instead Justin publicly serenaded his mom onstage during his "Believe" tour stopover in Johannesburg, South Africa! WE CAN'T. And fine, Pattie may have been the second lady Justin serenaded in South Africa, but this time there were FLOWERS!!!

Zayne Malik laces up his own shoes.
Aw, we know. Lacing up shoes takes time, Zayn Malik!

We like to imagine that when you're in a famous boy band like One Direction, you don't have to do ANYTHING besides sing and sit around looking handsome (#dreamjob). But we were so off. Even when you're a big deal like Zayn Malik, apparently you still have to do normal people things -- like tie your own shoes! Come on! The guy is famous enough to get his own effing Madame Tussauds wax figure, but he can't get someone on payroll to take care of such a mundane task? Actually, here's an idea: Zayn should just hire us to tie his shoes FOR him! He wouldn't even have to pay us -- he could just wink at us every so often. We'll call it even.

The "My Heart Will Go On" singer shared the photo on One Direction's Facebook and captioned, "The guys are off for a few days before their next Europe date. Best things to do on a day off?! (We're thinking nothing ((or listening to 1D)) is probably the answer) 1DHQ x." OK, we don't get it. Shouldn't a guy with epic musical talent and his own 3-D movie do more exciting things on a day off like flying his personal jet to some remote island, partying on a yacht, or exploring the many wings of his huge mansion? Like, ANY OTHER THING THAN TYING HIS OWN SHOES?!

Listen To A Preview Of The-Dream Featuring Beyonce & 2 Chainz's 'Turnt'

Get "Turnt" UP with The-Dream, Beyoncé, and 2 Chainz.

If we have to wait a minute for a new Beyoncé album (girl is pretty busy with her "Mrs. Carter Show World Tour"), then we'll just have to get our fix elsewhere! Come to think of it, we have seen a recent influx of "Bey Bounty": First, we heard a snippet of "Grown Woman" in Beyoncé's Pepsi ad, Beyoncé covered Amy Winehouse's "Back To Black" for the Great Gatsby soundtrack, we heard a preview of "Rise Up" from the Epic soundtrack, and now we get to hear even MORE Beyoncé on an extended preview of The-Dream's new record, "Turnt," also featuring 2 Chainz.
