Taylor Swift, Kid Cudi and Miranda Lambert are featured on the "Hunger Games" soundtrack.

Judge me, don't judge me, I could care less -- I'm a grown-ass woman and I'm proud to say that I love me some Katniss Everdeen! In fact, when I'm presented with problems throughout the day I generally ask myself, "What would Katniss do?" -- WWKD. You should try it, it's really fun.

Though "Hunger Games" fans have to wait until March 23 for the movie's release (pure torture!), the "Hunger Games" gods (Gamemakers?) have thrown a tiny morsel of joy our way and unveiled the star-packed track list and cover art for the "Hunger Games" soundtrack! And just last night we brought you the stunning "Safe & Sound" video, Taylor Swift's and folk-pop duo The Civil Wars' contribution to the "Hunger Games" soundtrack. ALL "HUNGER GAMES" EVERYTHING.

Lana Del Rey's boyfriend has a tough gig today (Valentine's Day, duh). When your girlfriend's self-made YouTube videos became popular enough to land her both a record deal and a guest appearance on "Saturday Night Live," chances are your 1-800-FLOWERS order is going to seem a little... meh.

Yes, Lana has a boyfriend (sorry, every other dude on earth), and she shared a little about him when she stopped by MTV. She also let us in on her babysitting gig, how she hates World Of Warcraft, and the books she's currently rereading -- she's like a real girl! But given that Lana's a pretty private person, she didn't tell us too much about her main dude. All we really discover is that he's "really nice" and "in music, but not a musician." I'm not a psychic or anything, but I'm pretty sure that means she's talking about "American Idol" judge Randy Jackson. (Kidding. Hold the barrage of tweets, please.)

Watch Jack White's 'Love Interruption' video.

His new song may be titled "Love Interruption," but as usual, nothing gets in Jack White's way. The former White Stripes frontman is in fine form on his latest solo single, trading in his usual electric guitar and thunderous drums for a softer, rootsier style. The track sounds like a live recording: he strums an acoustic guitar and sings in harmony with a female bassist as a keyboardist and woodwind player offer occasional accents. No Pro Tools, no knob-twisting -- just music.

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! Well, actually I'm kind of obligated in a generic, culturally hegemonic way to tell you "Happy Valentine's Day," but what if it's actually NOT a happy day at all? Life imitates Facebook, my friends, and it just might happen that you're currently in a "It's Complicated" relationship status both on Facebook and IRL?

That's why we had our friends in A Day To Remember -- you may remember they were voted Buzzworthy's Fan-Favorite Breakthrough Band of 2011, because they're kind of a big deal -- come in and perform a "Buzzworthy Live" acoustic version of their single "It's Complicated" off of their What Separates Me From You album. Because your Valentine's Day may happen to be not so happy at all.

Watch Taylor Swift's 'Safe & Sound' video, featuring The Civil Wars.

In a departure from Taylor Swift's usually bubbly and bright music videos, her latest takes us in a cloudier direction. Taylor gets an assist from folk-pop duo The Civil Wars on "Safe & Sound," their featured track on the "Hunger Games" soundtrack. In the video, a sparkle-free Taylor walks barefoot through a dreary forest that's likely meant to represent District 12, the poorest, most desolate area of Panem, where "The Hunger Games" is based. The Civil Wars take shelter in a dilapidated cabin as Taylor sets out into the woods.

Katy Perry performing 'Part Of Me' during the Grammys

We actually missed this because we were too busy writing down every word to her new song "Part Of Me" so we can sing it in the shower as soon as humanly possible, but did you guys see Katy Perry LIGHT A MAN MADE OF ICE ON FIRE during her Grammys performance?! Here's a photo of it if you missed it like we did. You're welcome!

First of all, hey themes! Fire and ice -- a classic struggle between opposing forces -- so who you talkin' about, Katy? Second, that's like, one of the most badass things we've seen in a minute. Katy's Jetsons-inspired outfit was enough excitement for us, but the fact that she melted an entire man made of ice into a puddle of water? That's some praying mantis ish. And we loved it.

Here's a pairing we never thought we'd see: Chairlift joining forces with Das Racist verse-dropper Kool A.D. for a totally unironic/totally awesome Beyoncé "Party" cover. (Turns out Charlift's Patrick Wimberly worked on Das Racist's Relax. Only in Brooklyn.) The dynamic duo busted out the song in the studio for Australia's Triple J Radio, with Chairlift's Caroline Polachek crushing the vocals, playing keyboard and rocking some nerdy dance moves. No pressure, Bey.

In a clever nod, the band opens with the beat of Kanye West and Jay-Z's "Paris" rather than dropping in Yeezy's "Swagu" line. The rest's a faithful rendition, until the Andre 3000/J. Cole section: Kool A.D. wrote new verses for the cover, rapping from a sheet of paper and trying not to giggle as he made his way through couplets like "I'm Drake vs. Common/who cares?", referring to the rappers' recent beef. Also: "I'm Lenny Kravitz/I'm Lenny Kravitz/I'm Lenny Kravitz." Whatever you say, dude.

The Fray perform 'Heartbeat' and 'Over My Head (Cable Car)' on VH1's 'Big Morning Buzz Live.'

Normally, I get super pissed when someone makes my mascara run before it's even had a chance to set. But The Fray are just so good that I'm not even sure how to get fake angry at them. The Colorado-based rockers were kind enough to stop by VH1's "Big Morning Buzz Live" to play acoustic versions of their tearjerker "Heartbeat" and their very first single, "Over My Head (Cable Car)," and I had to call in late for work because of my cryfest. THANKS A LOT.

Accompanied only by guitars and drums, frontman Isaac Slade sang his little heart out and killed the vocal game dead as he crooned, "Oh, I feel your heartbeat/And you're coming around, coming around, coming around/If you can love somebody, love them all the same/You gotta love somebody, love them all the same/Oh, I feel your heartbeat."
