Is life on the road with Outasight as rad as it seems it might be? Answer: totally. The "Tonight Is The Night" singer hit the road with Dev in March and is currently finishing out the rest of his North American tour. And yay, we scored some exclusive, behind-the-scenes video and photos! It's basically exactly how you think life on the road might be with one of our favorite PUSH alums: hella fun, and with artsy photography. The video and photos are from Outasight's first stop in NYC earlier this year -- he's pumped, his crew is pumped, and homeboy's looking so fresh and so clean.

In his own words, Outasight let us in on what goes down when he hits the road:

Before a show I find the best way to prepare is to go about my day as is and keep things really loose. I hang out with my crew, crack jokes, maybe have a drink, watch the Knicks on my DJ's laptop (if they're on), and really just keep things light. When I get on stage I want the crowd to have as much fun as I am, so it's all about keeping the mood up and not trying to overthink it. Right before I step on stage I feel that nervous energy come on so I'll use that get amped cause once I step on that stage it's the most natural feeling to me.

Angelique Sabrina may be the next Rihanna, guys.

Comparisons aren't always welcome, except, of course, when you're being hailed as the next Rihanna. At only 14 years old, island-pop artist Angelique Sabrina is already garnering comparisons to RiRi while making a name for herself in her native Bahamas. Girl is a bona fide all-around threat, too, killing the game as a singer, songwriter, actress, dancer and model. Mini hustler alert!

Listen to Angelique Sabrina after the jump.

Jaden Smith debuts his video, 'Give It To 'Em.'

We're dying to know what Will and Jada Smith put in their kids' baby bottles to grow offspring with such unstoppable musical abilities. Willow Smith's already a successful "Fireball"-er, but now her 13-year-old bro Jaden Smith is stepping up to the mic in his first solo rap song/video, "Give It To 'Em." (Remember when he dropped rhymes with Justin Bieber?) Apparently, Jaden has lived a really privileged tough life, and he has something to say about it.

A young Taylor Swift matches her outfit to her mom's.

We didn't even have to tell you that Taylor Swift was gonna tweet some cute-ass ish on Mother's Day, but boy, did she DELIVER. Taylor is known for posting adorable cat photos, cat videos and pics of her and her famous pals hanging out. But nothing could have prepped us for the adorable overload that was gifted to us by Taylor on Mother's Day.

In honor of the day of moms, Tay tweeted an INSANE-CUTE photo of her and her mama, Andrea, legit wearing coordinating outfits. (Velvet: a childhood classic.) Along with the pic, Taylor tweeted: "Celebrating this Mother's Day, reflecting back on past matching velvet holiday ensembles." First, Taylor, you were such a cute kid! Like, we can't even really take it. Second, you both are working those oversize white collars. Lastly, Taylor, I'll see your matching holiday ensembles and raise you two matching Mickey Mouse sweaters that my mom got us at Disney World when I was 11. Lemme know if you wanna compare embarrassing pics -- I guess the only difference is that I grew up me, and you grew up famous.

Rumors have been swirling for weeks, but yay -- we can now officially confirm that Demi Lovato will be an "X Factor" judge! In between being generally amazing and announcing her North American summer tour, the "Give Your Heart A Break" singer will also make time to critique up-and-coming musicians alongside Simon Cowell, L.A. Reid and effing Britney Spears! EVERYTHING IS AMAZING!

Now that the entire new panel is confirmed, we feel it's safe to say that it's seriously gonna kill. Simon will bring the snark; L.A. will bring the cool, calm and collected years of wisdom; Brit will impart her adorable Southern drawl; and Demi will be lighthearted, supportive and constructive! After all, Demi is totally about self-acceptance. We're pretty sure that even if a contestant seriously blows, Dem will find the nicest way possible to let them know not to quit their day job. Mazel Tov, Simon -- we're fully stoked on this new lineup.

The title track (which nods to "Another One Bites The Dust" by Queen, whom he'll sing with this summer), the Bruno Mars-penned, Dr. Luke-produced "Never Close Your Eyes," and the reflective ballad "Better Than I Know Myself" are just a few of the songs with which we're obsessed... and incidentally, here are 10 things he's obsessed with.

Lady Gaga dons an updated version of her 2009 meat dress on the Born This Way Ball in Tokyo.

Oh, Lady Gaga, we've missed you. Since she's been prepping for her overseas leg of her Born This Way Ball, it seems like things have been fairly quiet on the Gaga front (save for that little tweet she sent about not eating -- we still aren't so happy about that). But it looks like she's got her appetite back. The "Marry The Night" singer recently posted a photo to Facebook of her sporting a new, sexier version of that infamous meat dress from the 2010 VMAs, and we love it. Also, did you ever think you'd read a sentence containing the words "new, sexier meat dress"?

Famed photog and Gaga pal Terry Richardson snapped the stunning shot of Lady Gaga during her performance of "Americano" during the Born This Way Ball in Tokyo. The singer's featured in the middle of the stage dressed in her finest beef, flanked by two cow carcasses. Nothing says "This is how we do things in America" like a couple of slaughtered animals. We repeat: We've missed you, Lady Gaga!

Asteroids Galaxy Tour's all about contradiction in their gorgeously wacky video "Major," the latest single from the Danish psych-pop band's sophomore album, Out of Frequency. All throughout the horn-soaked dance floor anthem, the "Major" video cuts between grainy black-and-white footage (including riots, protests, building demolitions and ill-fated space shuttle takeoffs) and shots of glamourpuss singer Mette Lindberg strutting around in a string of killer ensembles. Meanwhile, the lyrics to "Major" veer from scary and threatening ("These filthy streets will eat your soul") to sweetly ego-stroking ("You're the best, you're the most, you're the toast of the Barbary coast!").

After teaming up for an unlikely collaboration with Mick Jagger and will.i.am on "Go Home" back in January, House DJ/producer Wolfgang Gartner has returned just in time for summer to unleash a brand-new dance floor anthem. And this time, he's seriously pushing the pedal to the metal. In fact, he's redlining his way all the way to the city...in animated form.
