Finally! Someone sat Insane Clown Posse down for a real, in-depth interview and a look into their insane clown minds! Well, kind of. OK, not really, but comedian Mike O'Brien got Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope to agree to an intimate interview in a closet for his HILARIOUS video series "7 Minutes In Heaven." Even though we think the dudes were along for the ride and down with the jokes, we were a little afraid for Mike's safety during the mock interview. I mean, have you seen what goes on at the annual Gathering Of The Juggalos? #ThingsYouCannotUnsee
While standing disturbingly close to one another during the video, ICP lets us in on their creative process while writing lyrics (they're big fans of cartoon sound effects). We also learn that the dudes are surprisingly not calorie counters, and they "cannot stress enough" what huge fans they are of strong toilet paper.
Later on, Violent J does his best "mom angry that her sixth-grader is listening to ICP" impression, and we see O'Brien try to end the interview the way he ends all of his interviews -- with a kiss. (Get it? Seven minutes in heaven?) We're pretty sure that makes Mike O'Brien the BRAVEST PERSON ON THE PLANET.

+ Peep Rihanna giving the scoop on location about her role in the film "Battleship." "I got to shoot some really serious, powerful weapons, which is really, really fun," she said. She also talks about what a badass her character is. Sounds like the role was made for her. (ET)
+ You the man! No, you the man! Drake gave big ups to Rick Ross on his forthcoming God Forgives I Don't, dropping comparisons to Notorious B.I.G. and Snoop Dogg classics. In turn Ross gave props to Drake's Take Care, which hits in October. (MTV News)
+ We mentioned the Jack White/Insane Clown Posse pairing, ICP's Violent J explained why White picked them: "I asked him: 'Why us?' And he said he finds himself on the internet, time and time again, looking at our stuff, and some of it he thinks is genius; other stuff he doesn't understand, but it always draws him back." Mmm 'K then. (MTV News)
+ OK, remember that hottttt dude that Britney Spears macks with in her "Toxic" video? Well, apparently he has a name (model Matt Felker), and he's linked with actress (and sometimes singer) Minnie Driver. (E!)
+ Madonna was swarmed by press and paparazzi, which is nothing new, but it was during her first time at the Venice Film Festival to tout W.E., the second film she's directed. Where'd you get that awesome dress, Madge? Call me. (Billboard)

We're not even sure where to begin with this one. Cult Detroit rappers Insane Clown Posse and former White Stripes frontman Jack White discovered an obscure Mozart canon entitled 'Leck Mich Im Arsch,' which roughly translates to, well, just click the link. An Eureka moment was born, and the word "random" has just been redefined.
The track sees White and Nashville rock band Jeff the Brotherhood laying down electric guitar and crashing drums over a sample of Mozart vocals and melodies, with ICP rapper Violent J schooling Shaggy 2 Dope on the composer's "freak" tendencies. It's ridiculous and absurd, but we also kind of can't stop listening. What is happening?
The rappers use the title as a springboard to talk about, y'know... we're not even allowed to tell you. Why am I even writing and wasting your valuable seconds when you could be listening to A MOZART-SAMPLING, JACK WHITE-PRODUCED TRACK WITH INSANE CLOWN POSSE? If you need me to sell you any more than that, I'm afraid there's just no hope.

In case you don't know or like, don't have an internet connection, a Juggalo, according to Wikipedia, is "a name given to fans of Insane Clown Posse or any other Psychopathic Records hip-hop group." Each year, there is a Gathering Of The Juggalos, which is basically exactly what it sounds like. This year, a couple of our brave friends over at BuzzFeed actually risked their lives got on a bus headed to Cave-In-Rock, Illinois, and attended the Gathering. Yes, IRL. They brought face paint and Faygo AND OMGWTF, they found a Justin Bieber Juggalo!!!!!!!
The thing that is so wonderful about this extraordinary find is that Justin Bieber is basically the complete polar antithesis of everything a Juggalo stands for. (Read: Charlie Sheen spoke at this year's gathering.) Juggalos like mayhem, loud noises and sitting in ponds on couches. None of these things include pink florescent sneakers, a 3-D movie about your rise to fame, or dating Selena Gomez.
To be clear, this is not the actual Justin Bieber -- these photos are of a very similar looking person (with a very dissimilar lifestyle!). But it's pretty uncanny. Like, Dr. Jekyll Bieber/Mr. Juggalo Hyde uncanny. Also, to this mysterious Justin Bieber Juggalo who's probably getting a buzz cut as we speak: This comparison not an insult! Take it and run with it, bro! Trust us. Bieber is kinda popular with the ladies.

We HAD to say something about Nicki Minaj on the cover of V Magazine, but seeing the rest of the photo shoot from inside the mag? Well, we have to talk about this one, too. Yes, this is Nicki Minaj, aka. the baddest b****, aka the coolest girl in school. Taking a slightly different turn from the glamorous cover, inside V Magazine we see Nicki Minaj looking like a tribal warrior meets Day of The Dead skull meets Insane Clown Posse juggalo. You heard me! A juggalo!
For those that don't know, juggalos are what Insane Clown Posse's biggest fans refer to themselves as. I did some very intensive juggalo research for the sake of this comprehensive post, and I discovered a few main tenants of being a real-ass juggalo: 1.) "Ignore criticism." 2.) "Learn to appreciate yourself and appreciate everyone for who they are and just enjoy life." 3.) "Drink Faygo." And, 4.) Do that to your face. Well, there's more to being a Juggalo than that, but that's like a very top-level approach.
I think I'm on to something here, guys. Maybe just like Ke$ha before her, Nicki Minaj is a secret Juggalo! I bet this makeup was her idea, I bet she supplied the whole photo shoot crew with Faygo, and I bet they sat around discussing at length how magnets work!
Nicki Minaj: Harajuku Barbie, some dude named Roman, and the cutest l'il Juggalo ever!

Our good buddies over at Idolator have unearthed a new Ke$ha track called "Lost Weekend" -- and we're completely smitten! The song is laced with '80s-inspired dance beats reminiscent of "Electric Youth"-era Debbie Gibson.
In other words, the song is a total G-rated party jam -- minus one or two F-bombs thrown in for good measure. At long last, the "Tik Tok" singer has taken a break from chugging Jack Daniel's and decided to lay out in the sun and sip a bottle of Bartles & Jaymes -- metaphorically speaking, of course.
Oddly enough, at the end of the song, it sounds like Ke$ha keeps repeating the word "Faygo" over and over again. Does this mean what we think it means? Is Ke$ha an undercover Juggalo*?
[Puts hands together and starts to pray.]
To hear the newly found Ke$ha song "Lost Weekend," head over to Idolator and keep your ears peeled for the not-so-hidden soda reference toward the end of the track. To see the unintentionally hilarious video for Insane Clown Posse's "Miracles," watch it here IMMEDES.
* That's an Insane Clown Posse superfan, for those not familiar with the Dark Carnival.
