+ "The people who have problems with Kanye [West] and myself are the people who are complacent in life," so says Jay-Z. Dem's fightin' words, boy! But that very bravado is also why we can't wait for Watch The Throne. (Hip Hop Wired)

+ It seems as though Sean Kingston is on the mend. His friend Justin Bieber just went down to Miami to visit the singer, who was recently released from the hospital after a near tragic Jet Ski accident. The two friends "had fun," so we're pretty sure that means he's well! (MTV News)

+ Go backstage with Selena Gomez in a new video tour diary! See what life on the road is like, visit her sound checks and spoiler alert: Biebs sighting! (Idolator)

+ Rest easy, hip-hop fans: The Chris Brown/OFWGKTA Twitter feud is no longer. After Chris Brown's cousins allegedly chased Odd Future's Frank Ocean through the streets of Los Angeles, the two parties have called a truce. Chris Brown tweeted, "I respect ya music...and Odd Future! Ain’t beefing wit nobody. Y’all can have that! Love." (Rap-Up)

+ During their London concert Wednesday night, Kings Of Leon paid tribute to late "Jackass" star Ryan Dunn. Ryan had befriended the band during the last year and was killed in a car accident earlier this week. (PopEater)

+ Looks like you lost one for the team, brunettes. Photos of Katy Perry have surfaced from her recent trip to Miami and it looks like Katy's crossed over to the ginger side! Click the link to see for yourself. (Neon Limelight)

+ That tweet you may have read from Rihanna saying that she provoked Chris Brown during his 2009 domestic attack was definitely fake. The singer doesn't say her account was hacked, however, she just said the tweet wasn't from her. (E! Online)

+ It was straight up BANANAS in NYC yesterday when Justin Bieber took over Herald Square to promote his new fragrance Someday, but one fan crossed the line when he hopped the barricade and knocked the Biebs over! No worries, though -- with a quick shake of that magic hair and a twinkling wink, Justin was fully recovered. (MTV News)

Late last month, after much exciting buildup, Tennessee-bred rock band Kings Of Leon played an epic, once-in-a-lifetime show at Ireland's Slane Castle for our two lucky contest winners and 80,000 others. In use as a concert venue since 1981, the natural amphitheater has hosted the likes of U2 and The Rolling Stones, so it's no surprise the guys were incredibly stoked to perform there, especially with legendary metal act Thin Lizzy as the opener. Kings Of Leon drummer Nathan Followill called it "the most memorable show of [their] career."

For anyone who couldn't be there (most of us), we now have the exclusive live footage, including a behind-the-scenes interview with Matt Pinfield in which the band of brothers (plus one cousin) discuss the castle's history as a venue, their upcoming documentary and what their family means to them.

+ Watch King's of Leon's amazing live performances of "Taper Jean Girl," "Back Down South," "Sex On Fire" and more at Slane Castle, and check out their interview with Matt Pinfield below!

Kings Of Leon return to a familiar refrain -- their Southern roots -- in their new video, "Back Down South," from their platinum album Come Around Sundown. It's a chilled-out summer breeze of a song with some plaintive fiddle and the Followill brothers singing "I'm gonna go back down south now" over and over again through the chorus. As great as "Sex On Fire" and "Use Somebody" are, it's wonderful to see what these boys can do when they write songs that aim to just fill the living room rather than fill the arena.

The video, directed by Casey McGrath near Nashville this past May, perfectly captures the spirit of the song as an homage to the South; we see Kings Of Leon skeet shooting, driving around in pickup trucks, playing on a stage in a field to a couple hundred people (actually members of the Kings Of Leon fan club as well as locals). It's a dusty, sun-drenched look at Kings Of Leon as good-old Southern boys instead of one of the biggest rock acts in America.

Earlier this month, we invited die-hard Kings Of Leon fans to submit their fan testimonials for a chance to win "The Road to Slane Castle," a contest set up by MTV and social-media site Superglued to see the guys perform at Ireland's Slane Castle later this month. We received thousands of entries and while, in a perfect world, everyone who participated is a winner, in a more accurate world, only two people will be brushing up on their Gaelic. Congratulations to Caila Noel Curtis of Denton, Texas, and Sam Magro of Pennsauken, New Jersey, who will be flown out to see the Tennessee quartet's May 28 show in person!

Caila and Sam proved to be the ultimate Kings Of Leon fans, showing their passion through social media sites, posting photos from past shows, and submitting videos displaying the level of their fandom. Now they get to document the show and their experience on the road through video diaries, live streams and live-blogging.

Damn. We don't even get to do that and we work here.

You can check out the winning videos below and congrats to our runners-up, Bobby Myers, Chris Austerman, Brianna Schneider, Lee Rickard and Brittany Kerr, who will receive prizes ranging from band gear to tickets to future shows.
