If you tuned into the 2014 BET Awards Sunday night, expecting to see Jay Z and Beyonce perform, as advertised, you may have been a little disappointed when it came time for the power couple to close the show. They performed, yes — but not live in Los Angeles. Instead, we got some footage of their On The Run Tour.

But if you weren’t shouting at your TV in frustration, then you likely caught something just as — if not more — worth the wait: A new Jay Z verse.

Hov added a few bars to the beginning of Bey’s hit “Partition” in the aired video, sprinkling his classic Jay flair all over the raunchy fan-favorite. Not one to be outdone, Mr. Carter brought his own R-rated rhymes to the single, for his verse, which clocked in at just about half-a-minute.

On paper (or screen), it looks like this:

“Wet, wet skeet skeeted on the Met dress/ uh, word to Ricardo Tisci/ She like, ‘Oh my God,’ I’m like, ‘Nice to meet me’/ Damn, girl, you got that Versace/ Left the curtains open for the paparazzi/ A little TMI for you, TMZ/ Hope I get my on your D-I-C on your E-Y-E/ Uh, the K silent, I’m a Brooklyn n—a/ I let the K (sound affect) on you lookin’ n—as/ It’s to the death case you wondering/ I don’t need a hundred bitches ’cause my bitch keep it one hundred/ One hundred…”

And it sounds like this:

Ho-va, Ho-va.

Cue up the super-sad Charlie Brown Christmas special song, because we’re about to have a long, cold winter. And summer’s not even over yet. That’s how long the winter is going to be.

Thanks, Martin Freeman.

The actor, who portrays Dr. John Watson on the rare occasions that the BBC decides to actually give fans new episodes of the critically acclaimed series “Sherlock,” managed to pull a real doozy of a trick in the press, both giving hope and snatching it away in the same movement.

The good doctor, in an interview with the Telegraph, alluded to possible early 2015 shooting on the show.

As in, like. A year from now.

“If that’s going to be a special – I’m speaking off-message here; if this was New Labour I’d get fired – I think that might be for next Christmas,” he said. “A Christmas special. That’s what I understand.”

Well, isn’t that just special.

Oh, and, uh, hope you don’t like Watson’s new bride, Mary. Because she may not be around too much longer. While Amanda Abbington, Freeman’s real-life wife who plays Watson’s wife Mary on the show, will be back for more episodes, it’s hard to say how long that will last.

“While we play fast and loose with the original stories, we generally follow the trajectory of what Conan Doyle did,” Freeman said. “So he [Watson] gets married, and then Mary dies – so at some point presumably she’ll die.”

Gasp!

With a quick glance at this hospital photo of Adam Levine, it looks like something might be wrong.

Thankfully, it’s all fiction; Maroon 5 just released a still from their upcoming “Maps” video, premiering on MTV at 6 a.m. on Tuesday, July 1.

Maroon 5’s new studio album, V, out September 2, was recorded in Los Angeles over the past year with producers Max Martin, Benny Blanco, Ryan Tedder, Shellback and Sam Martin. “Maps,” the album’s first single, was released earlier this month. The band reunited with longtime keyboardist Jesse Carmichael, who took a hiatus while the band recorded 2012’s Overexposed.

Maybe Adam is still recovering from that “One More Night” video…

Twelve girls from this past season of “16 and Pregnant” will come together and give updates since becoming teenage mothers on Tuesday’s “16 and Pregnant Reunion Special.”

When we last saw Arianna, the young mom was hopeful that she and her baby daddy Maurice would be able give their son Aiden two loving parents — something neither had growing up. But that has proven impossible and, in the sneak peek below, Maurice voices his frustration about not being able to see his baby boy — while Arianna can’t even bear to look at him.

“He’s a deadbeat father, and he can’t own up to it,” a somber Arianna tells host Dr. Drew. But Maurice disagrees, saying that he has brought over items, saved $3,200 for the boy and hired a lawyer to get custody.

Arianna refutes the claims, saying she hasn’t received anything from Maurice, or a letter from his attorney.

“My son is six months old,” she says. “If he really loved my son, this would have been done a long time ago.”

When Dr. Drew urges the couple to try to communicate, Arianna refuses, saying she doesn’t “need to talk to [Maurice].” And, referring to the gifts and money Maurice claims to have provided for the child, she asks, “Where is it? I’ve got none of it.”

That’s when Maurice stands up — and throws a wad of cash over her head. In turn, she storms off stage.

“All that s**t,” Maurice exclaims as Arianna is leaving. “Pick it up. That’s ...

Hey Taylors, good news — the wait for Wiz Khalifa’s 3rd studio album is almost over. Blacc Hollywood will finally arrive on August 19, and you can probably catch a second hand high from the cover art.

Wiz officially announced the drop date on Monday (June 30), after giving fans a little teaser with his 28 Grams mixtape last month. By the time the album is released, the Pittsburgh rapper will already be on the road for his Under the Influence of Music tour with Jeezy, Tyga and Ty Dolla $ign.

He’s been steadily releasing music for the past few weeks, including the recent single “KK” featuring Juicy J and Project Pat. On the song he celebrates his own personal strain of weed.

There’s no question that “Wild’ N Out” newbie Blair Christian’s razor-sharp roasting skills are on point. (Remember when she jabbed her own boss?)

But her intimidating reputation must not have traveled across the pond — because Great Britain’s comedic treasure Kojo had no fear when facing off with the Season 6 freshman in the “WNO” Comedy Improv Theater.

“I’m all the way from London, England, and we never lose,” Kojo brags in the clip, below.

“Okay, great,” Blair says. “I’m from Chicago. We’re the home of winners. I can just say one name: Obama!”

Can the two put their patriotic loyalties aside to make us laugh? See if they do when they combine the words “turnt up” and “chicken” — plus a blow-up doll.

Plus, don’t miss more of this season’s crazy cast when “Wild ‘N Out” premieres Wednesday at 11/10c on MTV2!

I will wait, I will wait for you to stop what you’re doing. You’re going to need to devote your full attention to Connor Ball’s cover of Mumford & Sons’ “I Will Wait.”

After The Vamps posted the vid on Facebook (with some Twitter help from Brad), the band was able to trend #SupportDemiAndTheVamps, pointing toward the presale of their track with Demi Lovato called “Somebody to You.”

The cover itself is pop-punk bliss. Think Hot Topic meets boy band. The electric intensity is something new for the Vamps (they usually go for a more folky-rock-acoustic vibe), but be sure to take a listen, Vampions and Vampettes.

It might be hard to believe, but the first half of 2014 is over. That means it’s time to take a look back at some of the cinematic high points of the last 26 weeks.

The summer isn’t even over yet, but some of the year’s biggest tent poles have delivered in huge ways. Combine that with some of our favorite art house picks, and you’ve got a quick look at the movies that made the first six months of 2014 so awesome.

“The LEGO Movie”

With such a direct tie-in, “The LEGO Movie” could have been an empty 90-minute toy commercial, and while the animated feature starring Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks and Morgan Freeman no doubt sold a few boxes of plastic bricks, writers and directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller turned in something much funnier and filled with more heart than was ever required.

“The Grand Budapest Hotel”

“Moonrise Kingdom” saw writer-director Wes Anderson fully embracing his often parodied aesthetic, and the look and humor in “The Grand Budapest Hotel” was possibly even more self-assured. Throw in a hilarious, awards-worthy performance from Ralph Fiennes, and you easily have a film worthy of the auteur’s impressive résumé.

“Captain America: The Winter Soldier”

Marvel Studios previously toyed with the concept of dropping their heroes into genres not typically populated by super soldiers and radiated scientists. “The Winter Soldier,” however, was the first to go completely genre — in this case, a political thriller — and ...

Remember that time Trey Songz flooded Nicki Minaj’s studio with roses, to say ‘thank you for working on my album?’ Well, it was a very sweet gesture, but Trigga is really making it difficult for other guys to impress the YMCMB rapper — and that’s exactly what he wants.

“I don’t want nobody else to impress Nicki Mianj, that’s why I sent her a couple thousand flowers,” he told MTV News on the 2014 BET Awards red carpet on Sunday (June 29).

“Nicki’s phenomenal, to see her at this point in her career… I remember when we both started and we both were trying to achieve a certain level of success, and to see her doing so well and being such a dominant woman in this game, I think it’s great,” he added.

“To be working with her again on my album, I think it’ll be one of the biggest records of my career yet again, [that] i’ll share with her. And I’m just happy we’re celebrating one another.”

With all of that said, we’re waiting for the video now. “It might happen,” he said, trying to play coy. “We might shoot a video. That’s all I’m gonna say — we might.”

So basically, yes, they will shoot a video.

Kitty (née Pryde) put on her pensive face in her new video for “Marijuana.” And, apparently, learned to ride a bike — kind of.

“Wanted to share my new video for my most recent release, ‘Marijuana,’ shot by my friend Shomi Patwary and edited by me,” the rapper wrote today in an email to her mailing list. “I don’t really know how to ride a bike and you can probably tell.”

The song, produced by Chrome Sparks, is a hazy summer jam befitting its name that has us just aching to get out into the heat. In the video, Kitty pedals around what looks like Chinatown in her current hometown of New York City, rocking her signature knee socks and some serious malaise.

Kick push, coast, kid — and maybe put on a helmet?
