1.) Jason Derülo spills the beans on the September release of his sophomore album, Future History. Auto-Tune fans everywhere can rejoice in a recently released video teaser. (That Grape Juice)

2.) Pop princess Rihanna joined the Navy! Well, sorta. In preparation for her acting debut in the board game-turned-movie "Battleship," RiRi has been training with actual sailor drill sergeants to "get more into character." Ahoy, Oscar nomination? (Pop Dust)

3.) "Saved By the Bell" fans can sleep better knowing Zack and Kelly are still total besties. Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Tiffani Thiessen recently paired up with HIV/AIDS organization LifeRide to raise $100,000 for research. The biggest question of the day: Where was Lisa Turtle?! (Just Jared)

4.) Kitty likes to scratch! Anne Hathaway defends her upcoming Catwoman roll and costume, which some described as "lackluster," and promises fans she will blow their minds on screen. (SFGate)

5.) Forbes magazine just announced that the "King of Bling," aka Jay-Z, is the biggest moneymaker in hip-hop. With Beyoncé's birthday coming up, I'm pretty sure she can expect something verrrry expensive from her man. (theybf)

6.) First "Footloose," now "Dirty Dancing"? I guess it's OK since Jennifer Grey digs the remake idea for the classic '80s flick. No news on who's going to be in it, but our fingers are crossed that it's Hilary Duff. We miss that girl! (Hollywood Crush)

7.) Would you vote Matt Damon to be the president of United States? Documentary director Michael Moore would and with good reason. We're no experts, but we think if Matt ran the election (cough, cough, shirtless), he'd totes win. (Oh No They Didn't)

8.) Shia LaBeouf either has really dark sunglasses or totally cold-shouldered Joe Jonas on the street the other day. It happens! Sometimes I ignore celebs on the street, too. (Us Magazine)

9.) The Jonas Brothers will reunite (STOP SCREAMING! We're not finished!)... someday. While swamped with individual projects, the trio promises there will be a future for the Bros' fans. (Hollywood Life)

10.) Chris Brown's "F.A.M.E" tour dates have been announced, and the first month's opening act is going to be Kelly Rowland. The chart-topper is hitting major cities across the U.S starting this fall. (MTV News)

Hello again. It's Wednesday, and you all know what that means: two and a half days' worth of titillating items from the pop-culture-o-sphere. That's like a lifetime, in internet years. Let's begin.

1.) Selena Gomez met Shia LaBeouf backstage at "Live With Regis And Kelly" and reacted, well, like any 18-year-old girl would: with nervous squeals and breathless whispers of "he's so handsome." Stars: They're just like us! (Crushable)

2.) Kim Kardashian is so paranoid about info on her wedding dresses -- yes, that's plural, as in two wedding dresses -- getting out that she made everyone at Vera Wang sign confidentiality agreements. I had no idea she was so superstitious. (New York Post)

3.) Beyoncé told CNN's Piers Morgan that she originally wanted to have a baby by the age of 30. She's currently 29. Get ready for an insane amount of media speculation each time she eats a big lunch. (PopEater)

4.) Our friends at Crushable condensed every "Toddlers & Tiaras" episode into a minute-long video. It is truly terrifying. (Crushable)

5.) James Franco, multi-talented individual, has released a music video with his new band with Kalup Linzy, and it's every bit as trippy as you'd expect from the sexy stoner. (BuzzFeed)

6.) Our bros at BuzzFeed cut together a video for Katy Perry's "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" using the gazillions of YouTube videos people have made of themselves singing the party anthem. Get ready for some serious air saxophone. (BuzzFeed)

7.) Do you want to see what Elvis Presley's grandson looks like? Of course you do. (Lainey Gossip)

8.) In an interview on "The Today Show," LaToya Jackson said she's sure that her brother was murdered, and that the prescription-happy doctor was merely the "fall guy" for a much larger plot. Want to know whodunnit? Buy her book and "read between the lines." (Huffington Post)

9.) Shot for shot,Friends With Benefits and No Strings Attached are the exact same movie, and now there's a trailer mashup to prove it. (The High Definite)

10.) This Boston terrier gives the weirdest snort-laugh ever when it gets tickled. Dying of cuteness over here! (BuzzFeed)

Super-big-deal movie star Shia LaBeouf has been following the career of underground NYC rapper Cage for a long time. In fact, before he hit the big time, LaBeouf used to follow Cage, filming all of his performances, in hopes of one day turning the rhymer's tumultuous life into a movie.

Loaded with jagged ups and downs, Cage's childhood saw multiple suicide attempts, bouts with heroin addiction and institutionalization. But before the dark side of his life completely took hold, Cage discovered hip-hop. With music as an outlet, he channeled his troubles into something positive.

But positive does not necessarily mean sunny. In "I Never Knew You," LaBeouf's directorial debut, darkness is the main character. MTV News describes Cage's single this way: "This is angsty, downright unsettling hip-hop... the kind of intellectual, terrifying horror-core Eminem can only dream of making."

With enormous talent and LaBeouf on his side, Cage is well on his way to making a serious impact on hip-hop. And, although he claims to have no interest in directing full time, this may very well be the first step in a new creative journey for LaBeouf.

Watch as both artists flex their creative muscles in the riveting video for "I Never Knew You."

+ While her record label gets its s*** together, we applaud singer JoJo for deciding to take the bull by the horns and enroll at Boston's Northeastern University. She's double majoring in International Affairs and Anthropology, and no, she's not putting her career on hold. (Singersroom)

+ O.M.G. if you haven't already heard, some fanboy rushed the stage at Britney's concert at Mohegan Sun Arena in CT this weekend and tried to dance with her! We secretly applaud his valiant effort but remind everyone that what she does up there can't really be classified as dancing. It's more "softshoe." (IDLYITW)
