Gwyneth Paltrow: Public Enemy and N.W.A. fan.

Kind of like our girl Mika Newton, Gwyneth Paltrow is another blonde who's more than meets the eye. Or so she claims. In her latest issue of GOOP, Gwyneth's weekly lifestyle newsletter, she took us behind the scenes at her recent Harper's Bazaar cover photo shoot, and she mentioned something that caught us a little off-guard: "Two classic albums were played that day: Straight Outta Compton by N.W.A. and It Takes A Nation Of Millions [To Hold Us Back] by Public Enemy."

Uhh, I think I speak for the entire country when I say, "WAIT WUT." We know Gwyn's a music lover (she'll be presenting at next weekend's Grammy Awards), but we usually hear her lauding the rejuvenating qualities of expensive juice fasts or making a case for organic vitamins. So forgive us for having a hard time imagining Gwyn rapping, "N***** start to mumble, they wanna rumble/Mix 'em and cook 'em in a pot like gumbo" while wearing very expensive couture dresses.

But hey, this just proves the connective power of music, right? Public Enemy probably didn't imagine a rich movie star identifying with their tales of inner-city injustice, but I guess weirder things have happened.

Sorry, Henry Ford, but I just found myself a new American hero. Tré Reising, a first-year graduate student at Michigan's Cranbrook Academy of Art, has constructed a 5-foot replica of Gucci Mane's ice cream cone tattoo made from hemp and dyed burlap. And it's honestly the coolest effing thing I've ever seen.

"My current focus is taking pop culture rap references and using design rules to create pop art objects," Tré said about his inspiration to create the piece. He continued: "I made the sculpture because 1.) I'm infatuated with the man, and 2.) his tattoo is actually pretty awesome, and no one could pull it off like he does." Umm, agreed. Why else do you think I reference it approximately 15 times a day?

The best part about all of this (besides ALL OF THIS)? Tré wants Gucci himself to buy it: "I know it sounds crazy but I'd like to sell it to [him]... Gucci Mane, rolling onto Cranbrook's campus to buy a sculpture... I mean, I would give it to him... if he wants to miss out on all the swag points he would get from buying it."

Gucci, are you listening? YOU NEED TO BUY THIS THING! Or I need to come up with some fat stacks and buy it for myself. (Or just use my "Face Card," like Gucci suggests.)

Stop everything you're doing and watch this video right now! An 8-year-old Australian girl named Juliet released her first song, and in true 8-year-old fashion, it's all about her dog (named Robert!), her fish and her stuffed animals. But a nursery rhyme this is NOT.

Juliet chose to express her puppy love with a hard-core song -- with like, chugging guitars and screaming and everything. "My name is Juliet!/And I love Robert and my fishes!" This girl is so heavy she even takes it to the mosh pit! (Which is actually her trampoline filled with stuffed animals.)

Raise your hand if you think Juliet should run for president in 2024. We nominate "Toddlers & Tiaras" honey boo boo child Alana as VP.

If you were to hear DJ duo Major Lazer's "Original Don" without any visuals, you might imagine the video featuring some kind of off-the-wall house party full of sweaty people going as buckwild as the dancehall beat in the song. WRONG. The recently released "Original Don" video does feature a house party, but the only people in attendance are a young man and woman LARPing with swords in T-shirts and jeans and their grandmother (?) chillin' in her BluBlockers. In other words, THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO EVER CREATED.

Internet nerds (read: us) got our first glimpse at the sword swinging magic a few months ago when a weird-ass video, "Jian Sword Dancing," was picked up by a few of our favorite sites. (The video has more than 500,000 views to date.) After shaking our head and hitting replay about 60 times, Diplo and Switch (aka Major Lazer) have now completed the puzzle with "Original Don," where we finally learn what those two crazy weapon wielders were up to -- basically just sword dancing for the hell of it.

You guys ready for this story line? "Original Don" opens on the two kids role playing with swords in their backyard. Grandma watches for a bit before she heads inside (very slowly -- she's old) to grab a different sword for the female sword dancer. Diplo's there too, reading a magazine on the couch while Grandma grabs the sword. Then he heads outside to join the crew whereby he greets them with sandwiches. Fin.

As the old saying goes, "Everything Major Lazer does terrifies me." That also happens to be why they're so rad.

Credit, all photos: Put Your Beard In My Mouth

File this under: Some of the most random ish you've ever seen, ever. Ke$ha has started a Tumblr (it's the cool thing to do, kids!) and it's all about beards. Yep, you heard me. Ke$ha's new blog Put Your Beard In My Mouth is an homage to the facial hair that grows on the faces of most men over the age of 13 (and some unfortunate women). We knew Ke$ha loved her some beards when she whispered "I like your beard" at the end of her "Your Love Is My Drug" video, but we never would have would have suspected that her "thing" was actually having dudes insert their beards into her mouth. Eek!

So, exactly what can be found on Put Your Beard In My Mouth? As you might expect, it's basically just a ton of pics of bearded guys all given various superlatives by the always-creative Ke$ha. For example, if you're covered in tats and have a beard long enough to graze your belly button, Ke$ha will deem your precious hair accumulation a "Fresh out of Prison Beard":

"Fresh Out Of Prison Beard"

After looking at all these beards, I'm both intrigued and horrified/may actually have to run out and find myself a hot bearded man just to test it out. Oh, and P.S.: If you or your bearded buddy have an interest in being on Ke$ha's blog, submit your photos here!

Listen, we get a lot of "media alerts" rolling through our in-boxes: "Alert: So-And-So is feeding ducks at XYZ Bookstore next Thursday, save the date," or "Joe Schmoe is ice-skating for ABC Charity, attempting a world record!" And usually we're like, "SNOOZE," "BORE," "YAWN." But when we heard "Toddlers & Tiaras" SUPERSTAR Eden Wood was going to be promoting empanadas RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET from our offices, we were SOLD.

Unfortunately, we didn't get a performance of "Cutie Patootie," but I did get to take this photo with her!!!!! And I think it's safe to say you can CLEARLY see our shine. While some of you might say, "I'm pretty sure there's a Photoshop brush that does that," YOU'RE WRONG. What made us SPARKLE and DAZZLE is Eden. She is every bit the GRAND SUPREME in person as she is on TV, and I really feel like I've been walking on sunshine since I've met her just wee hours ago.

Also, WE GOT AUTOGRAPHS. If this isn't the signature of a superstar, then we don't know what is. To quote Taylor Swift, "I had the best day..."

I don't know about you guys, but I know I've always wanted to see what Justin Bieber's face would look like if it were made out of ground beef. What I left out of this fantasy, though, was the fact that his hair should be made out of bacon. Enter whoever the genius is that concocted this equal parts disturbing/equal parts admirable Justin Bieber meatloaf.

From the same folks who brought us "HELLO YES, THIS IS DOG" and "Looks like a leprechaun to me," the internet has now awarded us, its faithful readers, a Justin Bieber meatloaf. We're guessing (hoping? praying?) that some adult somewhere was forced to assemble this thing at the urging of their Bieber fever-ridden children. If not? Bro, you got some issues.

Another point of concern -- what are the next steps here? Do you actually go through with the baking process? Do you freeze it and preserve it forever? Do you send it to Biebs himself so he can apply for a restraining order immediately throw it away admire it from afar? If you cook it, it's rude to Justin Bieber and probably illegal in some indigenous tribes or something. If you don't cook it, you have rotting meat in your kitchen. Easy solution? NEVER MAKE A JUSTIN BIEBER MEATLOAF.

Thanks to America, the internet and a charity website, you can now purchase Justin Bieber's date to the 2011 VMAs: his snake named Johnson. He's warm, cuddly and flesh-colored! You need to buy this thing for the jokes alone, people. THE JOKES!

Charitybuzz is selling the baby boa constrictor to the public, eBay style -- bidders will name the final price of lil' Johnson. The boa currently stands at $175 while his estimated value is approximately $1,000. You only have 20 days left on this thing so hop to it, guys! Besides owning a piece of Justin Bieber pop culture history, all the proceeds will benefit Pencils of Promise, a nonprofit that builds schools and increases educational opportunities in the developing world. Snakes and charities -- such a heartwarming combo.

But be careful: Buying Justin Bieber's Johnson isn't like winning some free goldfish or something. Snakes require a lot of TLC. Even the website warns, "Before making any decision about keeping [a snake] please ensure you have the money, space, knowledge, time, resources and enthusiasm required to properly care for the species you intend to keep, for the duration of it's life." Enthusiasm, y'all. Do you have it?

In sum, WTF. Also, OMFG. Fin.

Remember that one time when this girl named Rebecca Black innocently tried to release a cute lil' music video called "Friday" on the internet and it spawned an unbelievable amount of hatred and backlash, as well as a million bajillion YouTube views? While Rebecca's too busy making it rain to care about all that backlash, her friend in the "Friday" video is taking a stab at her own music career. Say it with me: "Here we go again."

Benni Cinkle, otherwise known as "that girl in the pink shirt" in the "Friday" video -- no seriously, that's what she named her YouTube channel -- has released her own song and video, "Can You See Me Now" (DEFINITELY not to be confused with Kanye West's "See Me Now"). And in a sharp contrast to Rebecca Black's video, "Can You See Me Now" is like, about really serious stuff... mixed with dancing?

In between shots of what looks like some kind of celestial nightclub, some pretty heavy stuff goes down in "Can You See Me Now" -- teen pregnancy, LGBT issues and self-harm. And it's all set to a synth-heavy electronic track that seems much more fitting for a European dance club instead of an educational high school health class video. Oh, and at the end, Benni gets butterfly wings. Because, sure, throw those in there.

While the video kind of has us scratching our heads (read: trying to figure out WTH is going on here), there's one thing we've learned: Rebecca Black has made anything possible on the internet. Literally. Anything. And to that we say, "Thanks!" Actually, "Thanks?"

There's just no other way to say this: Everyone has LOST THEIR EFFING MINDS over Beyoncé and her pregnancy. In case you missed it, after her incredible performance of "Love On Top" at Sunday's 2011 VMAs, Beyoncé unveiled her baby bump to the world! A hip-hop royalty baby is on the waaaayyyy!!!! (I'm a little excited, too.)

Given the magnitude of this kind of announcement, we understand a certain degree of chaos. Beyoncé basically broke Twitter when after her announcement, her pregnancy set the Twitter record for most tweeted-about topic per second! The kid isn't even born yet, and it's making headlines! But his/her mom is Beyoncé, and the dad is Jay-Z, so like, MOST AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL AND TALENTED BABY OF ALL TIME!

But perhaps the most tangible display of Beyoncé baby fever comes from the folks at NMA.tv, known for their bizarre, highly literal (and often completely fictionalized -- see their Steve Jobs video -- video animations of famous events like the JetBlue flight attendant who jumped ship (er... plane) and Conan O'Brien's return to TV. The animated, highly satirical, slightly inappropriate video brings us to the birth of Beyoncé and Jay-Z's baby, and it features Nicki Minaj as the nanny (?!), Jay-Z personally delivering his child (who obviously pops out of Beyoncé's womb wearing a glowing halo) and the new parents discussing potential names for their baby like "Lil Hov," and of course "Destiny's Child."

There's much more WTF-ery within this animated video that we could literally go on for hours. But instead we think you should start counting down the days until Beyoncé gives birth by watch the video for yourself.
