Wiz Khalifa licks Amber Rose's forehead at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards.

Wiz Khalifa licks Amber Rose's forehead at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards.

You can "ewww" all you want at Wiz Khalifa for licking Amber Rose's forehead at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards, but we also know that you're secretly pretending you wouldn't do the same exact thing if you were standing next to her on the red carpet (but we'd probably ask first... just to be polite). Besides, the couple is married with baby, and married couples do weird things alll the time -- like get each other's faces tattooed on their bodies! So, let's just count our gross-out couple blessings and be happy that Amber and Wiz didn't, like, start clipping each other's toenails at the awards, or something. BECAUSE THAT IS DISGUSTING AND WRONG ON SO MANY LEVELS.

The always-adorbz duo were snapped arriving to the 2013 Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas, AND reminded us that they are still VERY much in love (letting someone lick you in public obviously points to true intimacy and commitment). And while you're probably trying to zoom in to search for evidence of pores on Amber's face (good luck, we already tried), we're just going to be over here wondering what an Amber Rose forehead lick tastes like. We imagine it tastes like fresh-picked flawlessness (stop looking at us like that -- we really think about this stuff!!). What exactly does "flawless" taste like, you ask? Maybe Grey Goose + nail polish + Tiffany's diamonds? Ummmm, never mind, we don't know. We're starting to get a little weirded out by ourselves.

Wiz Khalifa and 2 Chainz team up for "We Own It (Fast & Furious)" from the "Fast & Furious 6" soundtrack.

Wiz and 2 Chainz ride together on their new track from the "Fast & Furious 6" soundtrack.

When we heard there'd be a new song to kick off the upcoming summer blockbuster "Fast & Furious 6," we kind of secretly hoped that the film's star, Vin Diesel, would pick up the mic again. (His "Stay" rendition was impeccable!) But even if Vin Diesel isn't contributing to the soundtrack, at least the film's producers got Wiz Khalifa and 2 Chainz to fill in with an inspirational, never-say-die anthem: "We Own It."

Listen to Wiz Khalifa & 2 Chainz's " We Own It" after the jump.
