Last night's 2011 TeenNick HALO Awards packed a whole lot of goodness under one roof. Highlights not only included celebrating inspirational teens that devote their spare time to charities and good causes, but also gathered celebs like Lady Gaga, Mary J. Blige, and Nick Cannon to honor the winners! This ain't some honor roll ceremony in your school cafeteria, y'all!

If the thought of being in the same room with Lady Gaga makes you hyperventilate, imagine what WeStopHate.org award honoree Emily-Anne Rigal was thinking when Mother Monster greeted her backstage after a live show and offered two VIP tickets to the HALO Awards. A clip shows the pair hugging out their excitement and striking a paws-up pose (and our lil' ol' blog got a shout out -- HOLLAAA.)

Taylor Swift got a chance to sneak away from her adorable kitten to deliver HALO winner James O' Dwyer his VIP tickets after one of her concerts. James was honored for starting Magnolia Disaster Relief, a group that helps tornado victims. We just can't tell what's cuter: How giddy Taylor gets when she gives him the tickets or how adorbz starstruck James seems to be at the "Sparks Fly" singer. You know that old saying that we just made up: Nice guys may finish last, but at least they get to hang out with Taylor Swift.

+ Watch some Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift surprising their fans, check out the 2011 TeenNick HALO Award highlights, and catch a re-airing of the show TONIGHT at 9 p.m. ET on TeenNick!

R&B diva Mary J. Blige has assembled quite the arsenal of stars to appear on her forthcoming My Life II… The Journey Continues (Act I) disc out Nov 21. Mary's called upon the likes of Rick Ross, Nas, Beyoncé, Busta Rhymes and Drake to appear with her on her 10th studio album.

Mary's collabo with Drake is "Mr. Wrong," and it speaks to all the crap that comes along with always falling for a huge DB. In this case, Mary's fallen for Drake who uses his verse to fully admit that he's not the most stand-up guy: "I don't get it/Now I hate to think I tricked them/They fall victim to my system/Guess I sure know how to pick 'em/And I'm always her regret." Mary's booming R&B vocals come up next, and she sings of a dilemma that's been plaguing women for centuries: "Bad boys ain't no good/Good boys ain't no fun/Lord knows that I should/Run off with the right one/Me and Mr. Wrong get along so good/Even though it breaks my heart so bad." Guuurl, I totally feel you. Why do I always have to have a crush on the badass tattooed guy at the bar with no job? (Needless to say, my Jewish parents are less than pleased.)

Co-produced by Rico Love and Jim Jonsin, Rico recently admitted to RapUp.com, "It's an extremely soulful song that expresses the true level of love that a woman can have for a man who simply is no good for her. I wrote it because in many ways I am Mr. Wrong." Well, at least Rico can turn that part of himself into a super dope record, right? Every "Mr. Wrong" has a silver lining!

+ Listen to Mary J. Blige featuring Drake, "Mr. Wrong."

+ Florence + The Machine's Florence Welch revealed they could've gone American pop on Ceremonials, but didn't: "This is too weird. I can't just suddenly leave behind everything that made [2009 debut album] 'Lungs.'" Its Nov. 1 release date can't come soon enough. (Billboard)

Before Madonna was seeing "rays of light" and practicing pilates 30 hours a day, the superstar was teaching us how to "Vogue" in Victorian-era costumes at the 1990 VMAs. She's not the supposed "Queen Of Pop" for nothing -- this performance is an all-time stand-out.
