+ Where's the beef? Jay-Z says there isn't any between he and Lil Wayne, though the pair seemed to diss each other on songs from their latest albums. "That's sport, that's rap music," Jay said. "Nothing is going to change but the participants." (MTV News)

+ We music writers love making/debating "Best Of"-type lists, and Rolling Stone's had some infamous ones. This week, they crowned Eminem "The King Of Hip-Hop," and folks weighed in on Twitter. (RapFix)
+ Taylor Momsen didn't just quit being Jenny Humphrey on "Gossip Girl" (le sigh), she's quit acting altogether to focus on her band, The Pretty Reckless. “Hopefully I’ll be able to only do that for the rest of my life,” she said. (Just Jared)
+ It was Madonna's 53rd birthday yesterday (we made her a GIF!), and one way she celebrated was giving smooches to her 24-year-old (!!!) French dancer beau, Brahim Zaibat. Madge, we bow down to you. (E!)

Taylor Momsen, we get it -- you're a rebel! You shot to fame via your portrayal of Jenny Humphrey on "Gossip Girl" where the mean producer man curtailed your inner badass. So now that you're on your own as part of your band The Pretty Reckless, everything you do must be super dope and super rebellious all the time. We've all been there.
This past weekend at Lollapalooza, Taylor took out her anger on a poor crew member who allowed her to shave his head (!). Examining this shot a bit more closely, we see a few pertinent things: First, even with her signature eyeliner-overload look, Taylor is still really, really pretty. Second, the dude whose head she's shaving actually seems extremely calm given the circumstances. Maybe he's thrilled to be getting a free haircut. I mean, it's what, 100 degrees outside? Who needs all that sweat blanket hair anyway?
Clearly, we're looking at a win-win situation all around. Taylor Momsen's found yet another way to show the world she's not as sweet as her Little J character, and a hardworking crew member gets a complimentary new 'do. Teamwork!

+ Set your ears to "stunned" because vocal powerhouses Alicia Keys and Adele could be teaming up in the very near future. Alicia's husband Swizz Beatz spoke to MTV News about the collabo: "They're fans of each other. So let's make this good for music." This needs to happen, like, yesterday. (MTV News)
+ Just in case you have any questions left for Rebecca Black, the "Friday" singer is accepting questions from fans over at Buzznet. She really wants "random" questions so maybe ask her what she would name a miniature pony if she had one. Just a thought. (Buzznet)
+ Justin Timberlake recently revealed that he likes a girl with a dirty mouth, and now he says his mom walked in on him once doing the deed. "My mom wasn't cool about it. I was too young to be in bed with a girl, so she was upset." Remember when JT was a goody two-shoes? We don't. (E! Online)
+ Hey, Kelly Rowland fans! If you can't wait until its official release date of July 26, Idolator has a preview of the singer's upcoming album Here I Am. Check out three of the songs from the upcoming 10-song EP. (Idolator)
+ Taylor Momsen recently took part in the long-standing tradition of giving a female concert goer a lap dance. Let's just say this one got pretty intimate (read: shirtless). (PopEater)
+ Remember "Walkin' On The Sun" band Smash Mouth? A writer over at Something Awful is offering lead singer Steve Harwell $20 if he can film him eating 24 eggs in a row. Yeah, we have no idea what that's about. (BuzzFeed)

+ Rihanna has signed a deal with the Barbados Tourism Authority to become the Tourism Ambassador for her native island. We didn't think it was that tough to convince people to visit a tropical island with perfect weather, but hiring Rihanna as your spokeswoman can't hurt. (PopEater)
+ Before her Femme Fatale tour kicks off tonight, check out some of Britney Spears' costumes that you'll be seeing at the show! Not everyone can wear a gold sequined bikini bottom quite the way Brit can. (Pink Is The New Blog)
+ Even though she wrote it and it's spent 14 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, Ke$ha has no regrets about giving Britney Spears' her song "Till The World Ends." Ke$ha said about her accomplishment, "It really solidifies me as a songwriter in the pop music world, which is what I consider myself first and foremost." (Vulture)
+ Like we said before, who needs undergarments when they make electrical tape? Taylor Momsen is exploring the latest in pasty fashions, leaving very little to the imagination. (Buzznet) (NSFW-ish)

Taylor Momsen was spotted leaving a nightclub in London after her band The Pretty Reckless finished up a gig, and whaddya know, she's actually smiling! The usually solemn singer was looking pretty happy on Monday night, and not even fake happy. We think she's actually releasing endorphins and feeling pleasure or something!
Don't get too concerned though -- the Taylor Momsen we know and love has got to be in there somewhere. After all, she's still pants-less. We're pretty sure Taylor owns zero-point-zero articles of clothing that cover her bottom half, but we totally get it -- if my legs were a mile and half long, I'd probably be pants-less all the time too. Grocery store? Pants-less. Post office? Pants-less. Alligator wrestling? Well, maybe some shorts or something.

+ In case you missed Kanye West's energetic performance at Coachella this year, no problem. The rapper is releasing the full live set as a free mixtape! (Rolling Stone)

+ No more Little J! It's been confirmed that Taylor Momsen will not be returning to "Gossip Girl" next season. (Buzznet)
Ahh, prom. The night when everyone looks pretty, poses for awkward photos, and tries to dance non-suggestively in a high school gymnasium. That, or they sit at home applying oatmeal face masks and rewatching old "Daria" episodes. Potato/ potahto!
Since prom is just around the corner if not right about nowskies for most of America's high schoolers, we sent some of our Buzzworthy besties to popstar prom (with a little help of Photoshop), and the photos are ADORABLE! ridiculous!
For example, as you can see above, IRL besties Katy Perry and Rihanna attended our Buzzworthy prom together, and Rihanna looks amazing in a powder blue tuxedo (because we all know Rihanna can kill it in a tuxedo). And we're pretty sure we've seen Katy in this exact ensemble before. Funky, yet traditional. Well played, ladies.
If you ask us, Selena Gomez's shoes were a little dowdy, but how can you hate on that when you can just SEE how happy she is to be at prom with her date, Justin Bieber, who ALWAYS looks good dressed up! Awww!
The Pretty Reckless' Taylor Momsen won Prom Queen! And look how absolutely thrilled she is to be receiving such an honor! Don't let that pink dress fool you -- she's got fishnets on underneath. And maybe if that corsage was a bloody skull she would have smiled for this pic? Probably not.

We snapped a photo of Lady Gaga taking a break from dancing with her date -- a life-size jar of wasabi mayo wearing a monocle. They showed up to prom in an ALF parade float, and something tells us they spiked the punch. Tsk tsk, Lady!
+ Check out photos from Buzzworthy's popstar prom, including Kanye West, Tokio Hotel's Bill Kaulitz, Britney Spears, Nicki Minaj, and more in our "Celebrity Prom Photos" photo gallery!

+ Taylor Momsen sat down with MTV to discuss The Pretty Reckless' new album Light Me Up. Actress and singer Taylor said, "[Fans will] hear that it's not some side vanity project [but] that I really, really worked on it for a long time." (MTV News)
