Miley Cyrus graces the cover of Billboard Magazine.

Meet Miley Cyrus 2.0: She's on Billboard and in a sexy swimming suit!

Here's your daily "It's Miley Cyrus' world, and we're just living in it" reminder: She's on the cover of next week's Billboard magazine in a story called "Miley 2.0"! (Um, we weren't aware you could upgrade perfection.) And if nailing that sultry stare in the above photo isn't making your pulse thump at sonic speeds, please note that Miley is also showing off alll her curves in a super-sexy/VERY low-cut swimsuit. We're totally in awe of her goddess-like glow, but we're mostly impressed at how the photographer was able to get Miley to hold still long enough to take this picture -- I mean, THE WOMAN CAN'T STOP/WON'T STOP TWERKING!

And if you think the "We Can't Stop" singer is smoldering like a BAWSE on Billboard's cover, don't worry -- that "IDGAF what you think of me" confidence is PLENTY THERE throughout her accompanying interview. In the article, Miley talks about what people expected of her comeback, saying, "A lot of people wanted to try to make me the white Nicki Minaj... That's not what I'm trying to do. I love 'hood' music, but my talent is as a singer." She also talks about staying true to the "twang" in her voice, and even mentions how she wants her forthcoming record to be the biggest in the world.

Anyway, we are LOVING this chat with Miley, but honestly, we're mostly struck by that GORGE cover photo. It serves as a friendly reminder that everyone needs to update their lives to Miley 2.0, and any haters out there need to Ctrl+Alt+Delete themselves out of her way. (Sorry, that's the best tech joke we could think of.)

Mac Miller hangs with the twerking dead in his new video, "Watching Movies."

Mac Miller will face a HUGE battle in approximately four days: His new album, Watching Movies With The Sound Off, dropping June 18, is up against new albums by Kanye West, J. Cole, Kelly Rowland, and 3OH!3, just to name a few. For what it's worth, however, Mac told us he isn't worried about sales. But just in case he needed that extra promotional push, Mac dropped a spooky video today for the album's title track, "Watching Movies." And while his clip isn't an all-out fright-fest, it DOES combine two seemingly unrelated phenomena: horror films and twerking. (Which reminds us, where's Miley Cyrus? Are we sure she isn't twerking in the background somewhere?)

The most highly anticipated album of the summer hit the Internet early, as most highly anticipated albums do. No, not the Jonas Brothers' new album. OK, so the SECOND most anticipated album leaked! Kanye West's not at all humbly titled Yeezus album mysteriously and instantly bubbled up to the top of your Internet feeding tube, and whether you're Kanye shrugging over New Wave Kanye or basking in the glory of this early Christmas present -- because really, it is a Christmas present -- one thing's for sure after listening to the stand-out track, "I Am God": Kanye's not having that croissant lateness. Kanye West has 21 Grammys under his custom-made, one-of-a-kind Margiela belt (or is Rick Owens?), but that man cannot get his damn puff pastry delivered in a timely fashion. Sucks, man. Hopefully having what could be the best-selling album of 2013 could solve this carb dilemma once and for all.

Just know that "Hurry up with my damn croissants" is the new ""Thinkin' 'bout the girl in the all-leopard/Who was rubbin' the wood like Kiki Shepard" / "Put the p**** in a sarcophagus"/ is the new "What she order fish filet?" is the new "Hengh?"

 + Check out MTV News' track-by-track early review of Yeezus, and tell us what you think of the album in the comments.

Punk pioneer Kathleen Hanna is back at long last with The Julie Ruin's new lyric video, "Oh Come On."

Punk pioneer Kathleen Hanna is back with The Julie Ruin's new lyric video, "Oh Come On."

We're not usually in the habit of assigning homework around here, especially this close to summer, but if the name Kathleen Hanna doesn't ring a bell, then you should promptly close whatever other tabs you have open IMMEDIATELY and get to learnin'. (Here's a good place to start.) Hanna, who basically turned the '90s on its head with groups like riot grrrl standard-bearers Bikini Kill and electroclash dervishes Le Tigre, has a new band called The Julie Ruin, and in a completely unsurprising turn of events, their song "Oh Come On" is incredibly badass. Yeah, you should turn this one all the way up.

Kanye West looks like a famous Edward Hopper painting.

Kanye West takes his artistic genius to the next level... By recreating a famous American painting!

We assume Kanye West had nothing to do with the above photo (then again, we really never know exactly what Kanye has up his sleeve), but leave it to the most critically acclaimed rapper on the planet to unintentionally re-create works of American art like NBD. Take, for example, the above photo of 'Ye: It totally screams Edward Hopper's "Nighthawks" painting! Maybe this will be West's next project after he officially drops Yeezus? He'll start re-creating all of Hopper's images! Sound nuts? I mean, we ARE talking about the guy who called himself the "Michael Jordan Of Music." Could dubbing himself the "Edward Hopper Of Rap" be that far off?

Check out Edward Hopper's "Nighthawks" painting after the jump!

AlunaGeorge parties in an abandoned pool.

AlunaGeorge climb into an empty pool in their new "You Know You Like It" video. 

You might remember the first version of London-based pop duo AlunaGeorge's "You Know You Like It" video from way back when. The R&B-tinged indie-electro banger (that's a lot of genres, but it's also true!!) initially got some simple, black-and-white visuals when it dropped in 2011. Now, in preparation for their debut disc, Body Music, out July 29, the adorable twosome have just unleashed a SERIOUSLY SPECIAL (and in color) new "You Know You Like It" clip.

Macklemore rocks some new shades while shirtless in bed.

Macklemore. Shirtless. Bed. BYE!!

Macklemore just has a way with selfies, wouldn't you agree? He's already taken an "I DON'T GIVE TWO EFFS, JUDGE AWAY!!" selfie before his 2013 MTV Movie Awards performance, and who could forget his EPIC bath time "come relax in the tub with me" selfie? Now, the Branching Out Woodie winner's latest endeavor is a little something we like to call "check out my bulging muscles while I lay facedown in bed, under the guise of talking about new shades" selfie! Allow us to elaborate...
