What's that, you ask? Why, it's the sound of mall-haired hearts breaking all over the world continental United States! After 16 (16!!) years of an on-again/off-again relationship with girlfriend Kristi Gibson, Bret Michaels finally asked for her hand in marriage.

"If you like it then you shoulda put a ring on it...16 years later after two children," doesn't really have quite the same ring to it. (Get it? Ring!) But regardless, congratulations to Bret and Kristi! Bret proposed to Kristi on the Monday night finale of his VH1 reality show "Bret Michaels: Life As I Know It." Bret followed tradition and got down on one knee, but after he ended his speech he added, "Please say yes, or the rejection will kill me right now." No pressure, Kristi. (Spoiler alert: She said yes.)

You know what they say--sometimes you just need to front the rock band Poison, travel around the world, have two children, become the subject of a three-part reality television series profiling your quest for love on a tour bus and survive a life-threatening brain hemorrhage before you realize the one has been right there all along. We just love a good, old-fashioned love story.

Miley Cyrus has caught a lot of flack recently. She's growing up in public, and that can be a tough process. Since the release of her single and video "Can't Be Tamed," we've seen her experimenting with a variety of new looks, saying some provocative stuff and dealing with invasions of privacy (thanks to Perez Hilton).

Miley's working it out, though, is what we're saying. And today, performing in Central Park on "Good Morning America," grown-up Miley may have finally arrived.

Caught between post-childhood and pre-adulthood, it looks like Miley has finally embraced being a young woman. Rocking a vintage David Bowie shirt, studded leather jacket, ripped black jeans and a grip of mix-and-match jewelry, Miley looked ... cool. Still young and fun, but she's totally got an edge.

Milers performed "Can't Be Tamed" as well as "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" with Poison singer Bret Michaels. Check out more pics of Miley on Good Morning America, and watch her "Can't Be Tamed" video and the Poison classic "Every Rose Has Its Thorn."

And don't miss Miley's live album release performance -- watch "Miley Cyrus: Can't Be Tamed World Premiere Live" on Monday, June 21, at 10:30/9:30c on MTV.com.

+ Another Justin Bieber mall performance was canceled due to overzealous fans. After a mini stampede occurred before a Sydney, Australia, mall concert, authorities nixed the show to avoid any further mayhem. Fans reacted accordingly (as you can see above). (MTV News)

+ You'd think one of the most innovative directors in the history of music videos might have some time for one of the artists that's, more or less, keeping the medium alive. But Michel Gondry, who has shot clips for Bjork, Radiohead and The Foo Fighters, has very little time for Lady Gaga. Seems the auteur is not so into the music, and it pretty much kills the videos for him. Says Gondry: "To me it's like a form of Marilyn Manson. It's hard for me to talk about it; I’ve seen a couple of videos of hers, and not for very long. I stop watching them each time because I don’t think there's melodies. I’m sorry to be negative." (Movieline)

+ While Gaga might be smarting from Gondry's showing of the hand, she can take solace in the fact that another, much more famous person thinks she's "really hot." Twilight and Runaways star, Kristen Stewart, recently copped to being a fan, making the somewhat obvious observation, "She's got a look." (MTV News)

+ Possibly the only amusing story involving an overdose you'll ever hear: Foo Fighters main man Dave Grohl recently made an emergency trip to the doctor's office to deal with side effects from ingesting too much coffee. Seems Grohl had too much java while recording for the supergroup Them Crooked Vultures. (Spinner)

+ The budding romance between  Demi Lovato and Joe Jonas took a rather celestial turn recently. The two took some time out from saving the world to attend church together. <3 it. (Idolator)

+ A while back Bret Michaels recorded a duet with Miley Cyrus called "Nothing To Lose." We promptly responded with a hearty, WTF? Now the Poison frontman has come forward to explain there's "no weirdness" about the song. (PopEater)

+ It's Pete Wentz's birthday today! He just turned dirty 30! May he drink Bacardi... and Caprisun... like it's his birthday. (Twitter)

+ Electrik Red assure you that they're not corny, like the Spice Girls. That'd better be a promise. (Bossip)

+ Soulja Boy Tell' Em is JUST NOW getting around to "getting" Jay-Z. Better late than never, I guess. (MTV News)

+ Toronto Raptors' Chris Bosh will be releasing a CD compilation of his favorite songs and music by new artists. Ballin'! (Baller Status)

+ British Band the Horrors blame blogs and Facebook and everything else FUN for ruining EVERYTHING. You know what? SCREW 'EM. It's not like they're reading this anyway! (Independent)

+ Pour some out for polka -- the Recording Academy pulled polka from its list of Grammy categories. We hardly knew ye! (New York Times)

+ Poison, Dolly Parton, AND Elton John will all be performing at the Tony Awards this Sunday. And LAAAAAAYYYYDIES, keep your eyes a-peeled for Constantine Maroulis, who's up for Best Actor in a Musical. Best. Tonys. Ever? (Billboard)

Although your parents probably remember Bret Michaels as the lead singer of Poison -- and the man behind such headbanging hits as "Talk Dirty to Me" and "Nothin' But A Good Time" -- you probably know him best as the star of VH1's Rock of Love. (You know, the over-the-top, Tila Tequila-esque reality show in which desperate middle-aged women -- or women who look middle-aged -- compete for the ultimate prize: the chance to bang an aging, headband-wearing rocker in the back of his musty old tour van).

But whether you're more familiar with Bret's vocal chops or his propensity for strippers, you'll be surprised by how much you may secretly enjoy the latest video off his new album, Rock My World. Check out "Fallen" for a softer, cuddlier side of Bret. (Just like the one from "Every Rose Has Its Thorn!") Then remind yourself that he's actually a sex-crazed self-promoter who gets his kicks by forcing surgically enhanced groupies to play tackle football in the mud. Swoooooon!
