Kanye West breaks media blackout over MTV's "Hottest MCs in the Game VIII" position, Taylor Swift takes on sexist critics in Vanity Fair + more in today's Buzz Bites.

Kanye West breaks media silence over "Hottest MCs In The Game VIII" position.

Kanye West hasn't been doing interviews lately, but he recently broke his silence to discuss MTV's "Hottest MCs In The Game VIII" (where he currently sits at No. 7). "To me, I feel like in order for them to put me as No. 7, they had to bring up things that they didn't like," he told New York's Hot 97. Listen to some audio from the interview. (MTV News)

Taylor Swift took on her critics in Vanity Fair's April 2013 cover story. "For a female to write about her feelings, and then be portrayed as some clingy, insane, desperate girlfriend in need of making you marry her and have kids with her... that's taking it and turning it and twisting it into something that is frankly a little sexist." she said. #cosign (MTV News)

+ Check out Beyoncé's latest "Mrs. Carter World Tour" promo photo, which she posted to Facebook. In it, she's rocking blonde locks with a splash of blue at the roots, and she looks gorgeous, natch. (Just Jared)

"I always have and will continue to support the LGBT community on a global level and stay informed on the ever-changing landscape in the ongoing battle for gay rights in this country and across the globe," she said. Last week, Train also pulled out on the same grounds. (MTV News)

+ In other Carly Rae Jepsen news, take a listen to an, um... interesting mashup of "Call Me Maybe" with Nine Inch Nails' "Head Like A Hole." Oh internet, you so crazy. (Idolator)

+ Watch Mindless Behavior gush about how awesome Rihanna is before they cover a bit of "Pour It Up." They cutely change the lyrics to "snapback and dollar bills" versus "strip clubs and dollar bills." (Rap-Up)

Welcome to Buzzworthy's "The Week In Pop," where we round up new album releases, talk show musical guests, and TV performances by your favorite pop stars and more (so you don't have to).

This week, we're super excited for the weekend... Wait, that's pretty much every week, but this one's extra special because Justin Timberlake returns to "Saturday Night Live" to serve both as host and musical guest! As far as the rest of the week goes, preorders for 3OH!3's OMENS begin Tuesday (it officially streets June 18), and the premiere of their video for "Back To Life" hits, too, via The Warner Sound's YouTube channel (also check them out on Buzzworthy, recording Omens' "Youngblood"). In new album releases, Kate Nash gives us her third studio album, Girl Talk and enigmatic buzz band Rhye drop their stunning debut album, Woman. Meanwhile, Nine Inch NailsTrent Reznor and wife Mariqueen Maandig's How To Destroy Angels make their major-label debut, The Cave Singers release their fourth effort, and O Music Awards Unboxed Live alums Javelin drop their sophomore album.

Kate Nash, Rhye release albums and Justin Timberlake hosts and performs on SNL in The Week In Pop.

NEW ALBUM RELEASES

Kate NashGirl Talk: When mtvU caught up with Kate Nash last month, the proud bunny rabbit owner dished on her new album. "I just had the coolest time making it in L.A. for two months with [Grammy award-winning producer] Tom Biller, and it really was the best experience of my whole life," she said. Her third album showcases her bad-assitude on songs such as the jangling "Fri-end?" and the pop-punk gem "3AM," which encapsulates the insomniac torture that befalls the recently heartbroken. Watch the video for the surf-punk song, "Death Proof," and see Kate perform an acoustic rendition of "3AM" on Buzzworthy Live.

+ RhyeWoman: When Rhye's tracks first started circling the interwebs, their identity was as mysterious as their disarmingly gorgeous, crushing-out sound, which recalls the sultry cool of Sade, swathed in lush, dreamy R&B and orchestral-yet-synth-tipped pop. The duo behind the romantic, sensuous vibes are producer/multi-instrumentalists Robin Hannibal and Mike Milosh. On their debut, the latter's indelible, silky vocals glide through the swooning "Open," "The Fall" (grab Rhye's free mix, which also includes "3 Days"), and the aching sigh of "Last Dance." Woman should come with a warning label: "Make-out-inducing."

How To Destroy AngelsWelcome Oblivion: Just last week, Trent Reznor announced Nine Inch Nails will tour this year. No word yet if new music will follow, but NIN fans may dig his experimental How To Destroy Angels project, which includes his wife and singer Mariqueen Maandig, Atticus Ross, and Rob Sheridan. On their sophomore album (and first for a major label), songs such as the soulful "How Long?" and "On The Wing" are awash in adventurous electronica, and the material also displays lighter touches, like on the minimalistic "Ice Age."

Check out more new album releases, upcoming TV appearances, and performances after the jump.

Beyoncé's headlines the V Festival, Harry Styles shares style tips, and Selena Gomez goes on spring break!

1.) Beyoncé's British #beyhive is abuzz over the news that the Pepsi pop art princess will headline the U.K.'s V Festival! Weird question, though -- do British bees' buzzing have an adorbz accent, too? J/K! (But no, really?) (Vibe)

2.) Remember how Daft Punk hinted that new music MIGHT be on its way via a cryptic helmet photo? Well, who knows WHAT they were really saying (being space robots and all), but now you can listen to a rare, unreleased seven-minute track from the techno masters from 1994. #Vintage (Pretty Much Amazing)

3.) One Direction's Harry Styles spilled some deets on his personal style and hair grooming tips. Heads up (like what we did there?): Following the bloke's daily routine does not guarantee instant heartthrob status, but it's def a good start. (MTV Style)

4.) We still have to wait until March 15 to see Selena Gomez in "Spring Breakers," but now you can check out some behind-the-scenes clips from the movie to hold you over 'til then. SPOILER ALERT: This movie looks SO DANG GOOD. (Hollywood Life)
