Demi Lovato, Kelly Rowland, and Paulina Rubio haven't even started working together on "The X Factor" yet, but are already BFFs.

First official "X Factor" girl judges selfie! 

It's official, y'all! Not only have the new "X Factor" judges been confirmed (FYI, they are Kelly Rowland and Paulina Rubio), but they're THE MOST STUNNING! And sure, it's tough to fill Britney Spears' shoes (stilettos?), but judging by Demi Lovato's latest pic of her and her new "X Factor" posse (minus Simon Cowell), the girls are going to have the beauty game ON LOCK next season. Like, the lock-est of locks. Also, SO MANY SPRING OUTFIT COLORS! Way to keep it interesting, ladies!

Demi and her co-lady judges snapped the "X Factor" selfie in Charleston, SC during the first round of auditions. Demi tweeted: "LOVE THESE GIRLS!!! @KELLYROWLAND & @paurubio #Xfactor #girlpower." Seriously, we know Demi gave Simon a run for his money last year, and we have a feeling she's going to have some anti-Simon cohorts in Kelly and Paulina. With their powers combined, those girls don't look like they'll take ANY of Simon's BS, and they'll look GORGE while they do it!

Listen to Middle Class Rut's "No More."

Middle Class Rut are back and bringing the rock on their new track, "No More."

Middle Class Rut's "No More" opens with the heaviness we've come to expect from the Sacramento hard rockers, diving right in with levee-breaking drums and electric guitars the size of the Hoover Dam. All that pressure explodes in the lyrics: "You took this love and you tore it apart!" guitarist Zack Lopez bellows. It sounds like a bad romance, but dude's shutting that down: "No more," he repeats to close out the chorus. Way to respect yourself, fellas. With its throat-shredding vocals and full-on rock assault, the song sounds like Perry Ferrall jamming with Soundgarden -- not bad for a two-man crew.

T.I. is lost and trying to piece together why in his new video, "Hello."

T.I. gets lost in the desert in his "Hello" video.

T.I. is becoming quite the actor! OK, yeah, he's appeared in actual films like "Identity Thief" and "Takers," but we're starting to think that maybe his taste for movie star roles has snuck into his music. That seems to be the case in his new video, "Hello," from his latest album, Trouble Man: Heavy Is The Head. With a little help from Cee Lo Green on vocals, T.I. wakes up in the clip dusty and musty on a dirt-side road, trying to piece together what brought him there in the first place. Ugh, been there Tip. If we had a nickel for every time we woke up in a ditch, we'd have... you know what? Not important.

Adam Lambert makes us awww like crazy over this picture of him hanging with a kid.

Adam Lambert as a dad is a thing that MUST HAPPEN.

In case you need a reminder, here's a short list of things that Adam Lambert DOMINATES. He's successful at being a glam prince, he wins awards for having the biggest heart ever, and he's a good son/boss/friend. Seriously, this list could go on forever (which it does in our head and could easily be a novel called "Two Billion Reasons Why Adam Lambert Is A Hero"). So, judging by this adorable photo of Adam holding a cute kid on his shoulders, isn't it obvious that Adam would make the best dad EVER?? Any y'all Glamberts got connections at Hallmark?! 'Cause this pic needs to be a Father's Day card, STAT!

The "Never Close Our Eyes" singer shared the "AWW"-worthy photo on Instagram without a caption, because this photo doesn't even need a caption -- the cuteness alone speaks for itself. And while we can't say for sure whose child it is, we'd like to take a moment to thank them for giving us visual proof that Adam as a dad would make this world a wayyy better place. And if we're being entirely honest, we have to admit that we're a liiiittle jealous of this kid. It's always been our life goal to touch Adam's AH-MAZING quiff, but this kid scored the opportunity at the ripe age of toddlerhood! (Except that they probably won't remember it, so go figure.) It's time to start your own glamily, Lambert! J/K... kind of.

Zooey Deschanel achieves new levels of adorkable in She & Him's "I Could've Been Your Girl" video.

Zooey Deschanel, unabashed Quirky Girl, and one-half of the M. Ward-backed retro-folk outfit She & Him, may have grown her bangs out a bit in her band's new "I Could've Been Your Girl" video (the latest single from the duo's Volume 3), but we're pleased to report that despite almost 10 years' worth of cutesy dresses, brightly colored flats, and "gee-whiz"-style sexless witticisms, we are NOT SICK OF HER YET.

miley cyrus photobomb

Miley Cyrus photobombing Justin and Britney circa 2001 is the stuff fantasies are made of.

Hey, Miley Cyrus, we know you're having an awesome week, what with your new "We Can't Stop" countdown clock and presenting/eye-rolling Justin Bieber's win at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards, but we just need to hold everything a moment and CELEBRATE a) your Twitter account and b) your posting our favorite JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE AND BRITNEY SPEARS IN DENIM 4-EVER PHOTO. Except we couldn't just leave it the way it was; we love what we wish was Britney and Justin's double denim wedding pic so much, that we took things one step further and made it the photobomb of our fantasies!

Posting the now-famous pic of Britney and Justin attending the 2001 American Music Awards in matchy-matchy denim to Twitter, Miley memed "NEVER FORGET" with the caption "This happened." Oh, we we'll never forget this pop cultural nugget, Milers. And just to sweeten the deal, we know how much you like to pop up in people's photos, AND how badly you probably wish you'd been around to photobomb the Canadian tuxedo'd couple (both parties have certainly improved their fashion sense over the years, especially Mr. "Suit & Tie" over here), so we added/photobombed you in! See? It's like you were always there! ("The Internet" = Time Machine)

Listen to Kat Dahlia's "Fireman."

Kat Dahlia likes her "Fireman" BLAZING HOT.

If we've learned anything about 22-year-old Miami native Kat Dahlia, it's that she simply WILL NOT tolerate scrubs, douches, mean guys, and/or lowly "Gangstas" of any kind. (#Props) Nowadays, Kat's back with a brand-new track, "Fireman," a Cuban and reggae-influenced banger that's scheduled to appear on her upcoming debut, My Garden, dropping this September.

One Direction's Niall Horan nails Taylor Swift's infamous surprise face while in Germany.

One Direction's Niall Horan NAILS Taylor Swift's surprised look!

You should already be well acquainted with Taylor Swift's famous "Surprised Face" by now (watch this video if you need a refresher). And lately it seems like EVERYONE is re-creating their own version of the adorbz "'Macaulay Culkin in 'Home Alone' meets 'OMG I WIN AT EVERYTHING'" facial expression. Katy Perry, Lana Del Rey, Kanye West, and, well, A LOT OF FAMOUS PEOPLE have made their own respective versions, and now we can add One Direction's Niall Horan to the coveted list! Oh, and in case you couldn't tell by the above photo comparison, NIALL NAILED IT.

The "Kiss You" singer was snapped giving the ol' "Swifty Surprise" while greeting a gazillion fans outside his hotel window in Germany. And because we're pros on judging these things, let's break Niall's version down, shall we? Proper hands-on-cheek placement: Check! Innocent and "I'm so shocked" open mouth smile: Check! We also know what you're wondering -- shouldn't you only use this face when you're accepting coveted awards (like Swift did at the 2013 Billboard Awards)?! NOPE. When you're talented, rich, famous, cute, and pretty much own the world, you have the right to do whatever you want, whenever you want. And Niall Horan, like Taylor before him, has EARNED it.

It's Tuesday! Time for another round of "5 Must-Hear Pop Songs of the Week"!

This week's roundup features the return of a Eurovision Queen, a Disney princess hitting the dance floor, robot disco, and a certain late '90s songstress that we're crushing on more than a decade later.

This week's roundup features the return of a Eurovision Queen, a Disney princess hitting the dance floor, robot disco, and more in 5 Must-Hear Pop Songs Of The Week.

1.) Loreen, We Got The Power

Queen Loreen returns! After snatching the crown (and several wigs) at 2012's Eurovision competition with her dark, moody trance masterpiece "Euphoria," the powerhouse Swedish belter returned to Eurovision this year to premiere her new single, "We Got The Power." Co-penned by Ester Dean (the naughty-minded scribe behind some of Rihanna's rudest cuts), the track trades out the pulsating synthesizers for a gritty guitar line and a marching drumbeat. But don't worry -- she's kept the soaring chorus: "We got the power to make you love," Loreen powerfully shouts (along with a chorus of voices). The woman's got a penchant for recording only the most epic-sounding of tracks -- and this one's certainly no exception.

+ LISTEN TO LOREEN, "WE GOT THE POWER"
