Miley Cyrus, Ke$ha, and Madonna pose together at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards.

What do you get when you combine Miley Cyrus, Ke$ha, and Madonna in one room? Sorry, we meant to say: What do you get when you combine Miley Cyrus, Ke$ha, and Madonna together in one room AT THE 2013 BILLBOARD MUSIC AWARDS? Well, we can't be absolutely certain, because we weren't THERE (sobs), but we assume that this visual triple threat has effectively caused every computer/iPhone/iPad EVERYWHERE to explode from all the AhhHHHhh. (In addition to our minds exploding, of course.) Because are you seeing what we're seeing?? It's the pop star trifecta to END ALL TRIFECTAS!

Snapped at the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas, Miley, Ke$ha, and pop's reigning Queen, Madonna, had a serious famous-person moment together at the show. Honestly, we just don't know where to start with all this. First, let's talk just about how Madonna, no matter how many multi-decade transformations, DOES NOT AGE. Second, what could they even be talking about?? Could it be anti-aging tips? Like, the best under-eye night cream? Or how to get through an entire award show in dressy lingerie? Or Miley's upcoming NEW ALBUM? Like, could Miley be pumping Madonna and Ke$ha for career advice? Whatever, all we know for sure is that this photo is HISTORIC. Like, it belongs in a pop star museum. Or our apartment. Either one.

Ke$ha forgot her underwear at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards!

Ke$ha's wearing underwear... right?! (Nope.)

Leave it to Ke$ha to take the sideboob trend to a whole new level... with some side-butt! At first we were all, "WOAH! Is that K-$ looking all glammed up? What happened to her corn rolls and thick-rimmed glasses?! Girl looks so sophisticated and normal!" But then of course she turned to the side and we were all, WHOOP there it is. But now we have bigger questions like, did Ke$ha forget to put on underwear? Is there a butt pasty involved? I mean, we could guess how overwhelming it must be to get ready for an award show, and you're bound to forget something. But most people just forget their wallet or keys... Except obviously not Ke$ha. We don't want to even think about where she keeps her wallet and keys.

The "C'Mon" singer was snapped arriving to the 2013 Billboard Music Awards, where she served some side-butt realness. And if we've learned anything about the Illuminati lover from her "Ke$ha: My Crazy Beautiful Life" docu-series, it's basically that she's always full of surprises -- let's all just be happy she didn't arrive with a beard, OK? Oh, and we were also totally kidding about her not wearing any underwear! Of course she's wearing it! We think... Right? (Hope she doesn't step in front of a particularly windy sidewalk grate!) But yeah, how about we just let this whole underwear thing go because, well, knowing Ke$ha -- we don't really want to know the real answer.

Ke$ha's turning into Riff Raff and Estelle Getty!

A little bit of Riffraff, a little bit of Estelle -- and Ke$ha's golden (girl)!

We're no stranger to Ke$ha's, ahem, IMPRESSIVE fashion sense. We've seen our glitter goddess look like everything from a goth hippie flower child at the 2013 MTV Movie Awards to Uncle Sam glam, to, well, looking kind of normal. We've also seen her befriend the furry community AND the Illuminati, and we've heard all about her penis dreams in her new MTV docu-series, "Ke$ha: My Crazy Beautiful Life." Basically, Ke$ha will never not surprise us. Until this morning, that is, when we woke up to some behind-the-scenes photos from the set of her new "Crazy Kids" video, and, oh man... where to start? Ke$ha, is that you? Or did you just shape-shift into a Riff Raff/Estelle Getty alien hybrid?

Watch behind-the-scenes footage of Kelly's photo shoot, which shows the stunning, fresh-faced singer without makeup.

Snoop Lion, will.i.am, Phoenix, Fantasia + Junip release albums; Ke$ha's "My Crazy Beautiful Life" premieres Tuesday in this edition of The Week In Pop.

NEW ALBUM RELEASES

+ Snoop LionReincarnated: "There's so much death, there's so much destruction, there's so much mayhem, and there's so much misunderstanding in music. We're losing so many great musicians and we don't love them while they're here. And I want to be loved while I'm here, and the only way to get love is to give love," Snoop Lion states at the onset of his post-Rastafarianism transformation debut, Reincarnated. For his Major Lazer-produced reggae-pop album, Snoop enlists a diverse array of artists. Watch the videos for "Here Comes The King" with Angela Hunte and "No Guns Allowed" with Drake and Snoop's daughter, Cori B., and listen to "Torn Apart" with Rita Ora and "Ashtrays And Heartbreaks" with Miley Cyrus. Also check out the unity track "Lighters Up" with dancehall artists Movado & Popcaan.

+ will.i.am#willpower: For will.i.am's fourth solo album, he makes 15 soon-to-be ubiquitous dance-pop tunes that are jam-packed with star collabs, including a British-accented (!) Britney Spears (watch the "Scream & Shout" remix video with DiddyHit-BoyWaka Flocka Flame, and Lil Wayne), Miley Cyrus ("Fall Down"), Justin Bieber (watch a hologram'd Biebs in the futuristic "#thatpower" video), and 2NE1 with his BEP bandmate apl.de.ap on the YOLO-minded "Gettin' Dumb." Will takes a break from the dance floor for the midtempo, contemplative "The World Is Crazy" with Dante Santiago, "Love Bullets" with Skylar Grey, and album closer "Ghetto Ghetto" with 7-year-old rapper Baby Kaely.

+ PhoenixBankrupt!: The French indie electro-pop band, who recently surprised fans at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival with a guest spot from R. Kelly, release the follow-up to their mainstream breakthrough album Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. Highlights include the shimmery "SOS In Bel Air" with its infectious chorus, and their synth-laden single "Entertainment." The sprawling title track boasts lush instrumentation before the strutty, humorously titled "Drakkar Noir" ushers in back-to-back with "Chloroform," which deals with the more noxious side of love.

Fall Out Boy, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Olly Murs, Major Lazer, The Flaming Lips,  The Thermals, Ghostface Killah, Kid Cudi, Charli XCX release albums in this edition of The Week In Pop.

NEW ALBUM RELEASES

+ Fall Out BoySave Rock And Roll: By now you've heard FOB's new album (if not, get on it, and check out our track-by-track review!), the first since their hiatus some four years ago. While FOB's album title may imply some bombast, the band's earnest mission to make a record for themselves pays off in ambition. Fall Out Boy are back with a vengeance in the back-to-back fiery anthems "The Phoenix" and "My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light Em Up)" with 2 Chainz. Soulful singer Patrick Stump exudes confidence with his vocal acrobatics on "Where Did The Party Go,"  the falsettos of "Death Valley," and with the rich inflections on "Just One Yesterday" featuring Foxes. Courtney Love ("Rat A Tat"), Big Sean ("The Mighty Fall"), and Elton John ("Save Rock And Roll") also make appearances.

+ Yeah Yeah YeahsMosquito: On their fourth album, Yeah Yeah Yeahs blend disparate music styles. "It's kind of like a Yeah Yeah Yeahs soul record -- our version of one -- but it's also really playful and tongue-in-cheek sometimes. I think it's got something for everyone," Karen O explained in their video premiering Mosquito. Penned in New Orleans, "Sacrilege" features a gospel choir and "Subway" is an ode to New York with looping rhythms courtesy of a rumbling train. They explore roots reggae in "Under The Earth," and the churning, James Murphy-produced "Buried Alive" features Dr. Octagon. They lean romantic as the album closes with "Always" and the atmospheric "Wedding Song."

+ Olly MursRight Place, Right Time: U.K. sensation Olly Murs already has three albums under his belt and he's toured with One Direction, but he hadn't yet released an album Stateside... until now. For the 2009 "X Factor" runner-up's U.S. debut, songs from his No. 1 U.K. album of the same name are packaged with tunes from his sophomore album, In Case You Didn't Know ("Heart Skips A Beat," "Dance With Me Tonight," and "Oh My Goodness"). Watch Olly perform his smash hit "Heart Skips A Beat" (the recorded U.S. version features Chiddy Bang), and watch his video for "Troublemaker" featuring Flo Rida.

Ke$ha's the first guest on Vinny Guadagnino's brand-new show.

Ke$ha is Vinny Guadagnino's first guest on "The Show With Vinny"! Hope she likes Italian food.

We've been dying to know more about Ke$ha ever since she dropped the trailer for her upcoming MTV docuseries, "Ke$ha: My Crazy Beautiful Life." And sure, we know that Ke$ha's not exactly the type to hide #truefacts about herself, but you know us -- we are INSATIABLE. That in mind, we were gladder than glad to catch Vinny Guadagnino's (from "Jersey Shore," y'all!) up-close-and-personal interview with our favorite Glitterati/Illuminati member. That's right, Vinny (and his mom, grandma, and sister!) sat down with Ke$ha to talk all about her crazy, beautiful life, and you'll be pleased to know that we learned SO MUCH FASCINATING STUFF. Stuff like Ke$ha's mom was totally a hippie, she always carries glitter with her (duh!), and that she -- GASP -- snuck into Prince's house?! Can't handle it. Check out what else we learned from Vinny's interview with Ke$ha, and catch "The Show With Vinny" when it premieres on May 2!

1.) Ke$ha once snuck into Prince's house: No, really, Ke$ha snuck into Prince's house! But not to steal anything: "I snuck into Prince's house, but it wasn't just him. He was not the only one. Because I wanted to give him my music." Bet she also spread glitter all over his couch cushions!

2.) Ke$ha has a hippie mom: Did you know that Ke$ha's mom was a hippie? And that she lived on a school bus? "[I grew up with] my brother and my mom," said Ke$ha. "My mom's a hippie, she lived in a school bus, she named me Ke$ha, and my brother's name is Lagan. She's a little wild." Yep, that IS wild! Also, Ke$ha doesn't exactly know who her dad is, but she doesn't seem too bothered by it. "He's one of a few dudes. My mom was a hippie, and she wanted a baby, and she wanted a Pisces." Whatever works, Ke$h...we're just glad you exist.

3.) How Ke$ha got famous: "I drove out to Hollywood in my dead grandpa's Lincoln town car, and just lived in my car for a little bit," said Ke$ha about her fame-fueled ambitions. "You lived in your car??" asked an incredulous Vinny. "Well, just, like, here and there," said Ke$ha. (The best part of that exchange was how nonchalant Ke$ha was. Like, "Oh, doesn't everybody do that?" THAT'S dedication.

Ke$ha's new best friend is a really pretty horse!

Say "hay' to Ke$ha's new horse!

Maybe you want to hang out with Ke$ha because she wears flower wreathes while crowd-surfing, or because she goes to airports in flowery dresses (both perfectly valid reasons). But right now we want to befriend K-dollar because in addition to her already STACKED animal collection, SHE HAS A HORSE! OK, it's probably not even her horse. But we never had a horse when we were little, so whenever we see people who have (or are around) horses, we just want to be their friends immediately. We also do the same thing with people who drive Ferraris... annnd people who have donuts. (Don't even try to figure us out.)
