Taylor Swift is landing retro-inspired magazine covers left and right, y’all. First was her very ’80s Vogue UK cover shoot, and now is a People cover, which pays homage to Mia Farrow’s 1974 People cover. The issue of People ever, BTW.

The pose is—for some reason, IDK—nibbling on a string of pearls. Pearls have no nutritional value, so, maybe swap ‘em for a piece of spaghetti, Tay? True, it wouldn’t look as glamorous, I guess. She also recreates the soft curls Mia had on her cover—a hairstyle she’s already familiar with (see: 2013 VMAs)—and an ascot fastened with a brooch.

Taylor recreates the look for the magazine’s 40th anniversary issue, which you can pick up on newsstands today. While it seems like she’s peering into your soul with her blue eyes on the actual cover, on the anniversary cover she shifts her focus to imitate Mia Farrow’s perfectly. 1974 or 2014? It’s impossible to tell.

Teyana Taylor finally has a release date for her debut album VII. The project arrives on November 4, which means that we’ll be seeing a lot more of G.O.O.D. Music’s first lady in the next few weeks. Case in point: the new teaser video for “Business,” where she strips down for the camera.

The brief and moody clip begins with Teyana, alone in her bathroom, lighting up a cigarette and singing her heart out on the floor. The tone of the video definitely complements the song, where she’s singing her heart out about relationship issues. Check out the visuals above.

Expect new video teases from Teyana every Tuesday, until VII is released. Collaborations on her upcoming album will include Fabolous, Pusha T, Yo Gotti and Chris Brown.

You meant to go yesterday, but your friend invited you to happy hour. You would go today, but you’re just so tired. The gym: If only intending to go burned calories…

However, working out doesn’t have to be a perpetual item on your “I’ll get to it tomorrow” list. In fact, making just a few of these quick adjustments may majorly decrease your resistance to jumping on that exercise bike.

1. Put the days and times you’ll work out in your calendar

It’s one thing to say, “I should work out this week,” and another to know that you’re going to kickboxing Tuesday and Thursday at 6 p.m. Having workouts in your calendar — whether using your phone or a physical one pinned to your wall — will make exercise seem like more of a solidified plan, and will ensure that you have time to go, even when you’re bogged down with work. Or a full DVR.

2. Make a new playlist once a week

It’s hard to get excited about working out when you know you’ll be subjecting yourself to the same busted “Gym Mix” you’ve had longer than that weird salad dressing in your fridge door. Once a week, put together a new playlist or two, and include a few songs that are fairly new to you.

3. Buy some new gear

Just as a new dress can turn jury duty into an outfit unveiling, having new gym clothes can get you enthusiastic about showcasing ...

JLaw-ites, rejoice! As “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1″ prepares to nest in theaters on Nov. 21, actress Jennifer Lawrence is making press rounds once again and delighting us with more and more reasons she should be our BFF. (She just hasn’t had the chance to get to know us yet!)

Most recently, Lawrence was interviewed for a long cover feature for the November issue of Vanity Fair. There, she addressed the her hacked nude photos for the first time publicly, but she also touched on lighter fare. For example, which “Real Housewives” cadre does she think is “really special”? Which household pests will she allow to live, and which will she simply “move”?

Here are the seven things we learned from the Vanity Fair issue on newsstands now that convince us that JLaw is amazing girlcrush material.

1. She’s a fear sweater
Lawrence greeted her interviewer, Vanity Fair’s Sam Kashner, and then pointed out her perspiration. “I must be nervous. Look at the sweat under my arms.”

2. She blames hormones for forgetting to thank David O. Russell and Harvey Weinstein in her Oscar acceptance speech.
“It was probably because I f–ked up on my birth-control pills and I was hormonally out of control that night,” she said. Also, she had just faceplanted on TV.

3. Her taste in reality TV is varied and thorough.
“’Shark Tank’,” she said when asked to identify her favorite show. “Wait, oh, ‘Dance Moms’ — that is a good one! OK, ...

It seems like just yesterday Jenna Hamilton choked on a couple of aspirin, knocked her hairdryer into a tub and mistakenly convinced the better part of Palos Hills that she was a flagrant suicide risk. Ah, memories…

“Awkward,” which has followed the sarcastic student and blogger and her pals since 2011, has been renewed for a fifth and final season, which will air after Season 4′s current second leg, according to Deadline. More “Awkward,” but with a definite expiration date? We finally understand the concept of bittersweet!

MTV

So will Jenna brush herself off after rejection from Southern Coast University and fulfill her dream of becoming a famous ink slinger? Will Sadie found a food truck operation all her own? We’re not sure, but the show’s actors are certain that they’re ready for any ride.

“YAS HONEY. let’s do this,” Molly Tarlov tweeted after she got the news, while Jillian Rose Reed rhetorically asked “You wanted one more, right?!” Uhh, does Valerie Marks have a thing for men in bear suits?!

(yes.)

Share your thoughts on the latest “Awkward” news, and keep watching Season 4 every Tuesday night at 10/9c!

If you weren’t already familiar with the fact that “Edge of Tomorrow” is totally badass and one of the best movies of the year, I pity you. But(!) you have an opportunity to fix that because the Tom Cruise-Emily Blunt sci-fi movie is now on Blu-ray and DVD.

MTV has an exclusive look behind the scenes, where you can see how director Doug Liman helped create some of the insanity on set.

In short: He screamed like a crazy man and ran directly at Blunt.

Check out the clip above, and do yourself the favor of seeking out “Edge of Tomorrow.” It’s one that people are going to keep discovering and hopefully share with others.

Sign language, is, first, a language, but when it comes to music, ASL can also become an art. At the recent TomorrowWorld music festival in Atlanta, Keelin Lambert interpreted the lyrics to Gareth Emery’s “U” for her deaf friend Monica Frederick, dancing along.

TomorrowWorld included insanely orchestrated stages and set designs intended to make the music festival look otherworldly.

This video went viral shortly after it was posted, and you’ll soon see why. The way Keelin translates is so genuine, since she’s totally invested in the song and her friend.

Father knows best? Certainly not in the Velez household.

Casey Casey Freeman and Shannon Baek

In the aftermath of the latest “Happyland” scandal, in which longtime park darling Lucy Velez learned she and crush Ian Chandler were a little more than just kissing cousins, sources tell us Lucy’s had her world turned upside-down for a second time.

Lucy’s mother Elena, who’s played the park princess for years, devastated her daughter when she explained that Lucy’s father, Happyland’s own President Chandler, didn’t want her. According to transcriptions obtained by Teen Tuesday, Elena shockingly confessed she was Chandler’s mistress years ago, and that when he learned she was pregnant with Lucy, Chandler tried to pay her off to “get it taken care of.” The words of a trusted leader?

Teen Tuesday is asking anyone who can corroborate Velez’s allegation to reach out.

Happyland representatives did not respond to repeated requests for comment.

There are years you live through, and years you survive. For Britney Spears, 2007 was the latter.

After her marriage to backup dancer and soul patch enthusiast Kevin Federline fizzled, the Goddess of Fierceness and Frappuccinos spiraled into a meltdown — while being followed constantly by a maniacal mob of paparazzi who filled her every waking hour with microphones and flashbulbs, attempting to get to the root of what could possibly be bothering her so much.

A head was shaved. An ambulance was called. Then, on October 26, 2007, in what seemed like the middle of her darkest hour, Spears told all of her naysayers to sit the f–k down with three unambiguous words…

“It’s Britney, bitch.”

The phrase immediately became synonymous with Spears herself. In her 2012 collaboration “Scream and Shout” with Will.i.am, she even sampled her own lyric, almost as though “bitch” is her last name: “It’s Will.i.am and Britney Bitch.”

Her fans at shows wear shirts emblazoned with this iconic proclamation, and almost all of her live performances — including her current residency in Vegas — feature liberal use of the B-word. One would be hard pressed to look at any of her devotees screaming, “It’s Britney, bitch!” — or at Spears herself — and assert that the B-word was being used in a derogatory way.

Spears commented on her use of the word in a 2013 interview with British TV host Alan Carr: “I just use it as…a term of endearment.” She added, ...

There was something so right about Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose as a couple. When the two first appeared on MTV’s “RapFix Live” back in 2011, we rooted for their love story and have been cheering every step of the way. But now that the former lovebirds are headed for divorce, we have to admit that we’re going through a range of feelings and, of course, we aren’t the only ones.

Both Wiz and Amber have been dealing with this heartbreak in their own way — from new looks to inspirational quotes. Take a look at how the rapper and his onetime lady are coping:

You can smile through the pain

Or let it burn

Or go out and try to have some fun with friends, even if it does start rumors

You keep your thoughts positive

Or just make a change and dye your hair purple

Either way, we’d just rather remember the good times
