Ayo, Justin Bieber. Listen. We’re all for the “confidence” that comes with unique facial hair, but we draw a hard and fast line at the dirtstache. If you’re going to be a a shower, you better also be a grower, because ain’t nobody got time for a mid-level dusty cruststache.

Hopefully the fancy free-stuff gift bags they gave away at the Vanity Fair Armani party you went to on Sat., May 17 in Cannes — where your plus one was the caterpillar currently parked on your upper lip — came with free fancy razors. If so, please get involved.

This one is a cockle-warmer if ever I’ve seen one. Jaime Maldonado was just minding his own business, heading to the grocery store, when he became witnessed to a truly impressive impromptu jam session that he managed to record on his phone. Three total strangers happened upon one another and put their musical chops on display, crafting a song that’s full of soul, even in a totally unscripted moment. Go on, it’s OK to admit you want to watch something delightfully heartwarming and real every once and awhile.

Somebody get these men a recording studio session — STAT!

We might not want to live in a world created by Miley Cyrus and the Flaming Lips, but we would 100 percent want to visit there. For like a week. OK, maybe just a long weekend. Through their highly unusual fwendship, something bizarre and seemingly nonsensical becomes an eye-opening “oh, yes, of course this makes sense!” affair. Like their cover of The Beatles’ “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.”

That’s right: putting Miley and the Lips and the Beatles into a psychedelic funkblender has managed to produce something pretty tripptastic in a “hitch a ride on a rainbow-pooping-unicorn and hold on” sorta way. And you can hear a preview of the track right here, right now. It is equal parts weird and wonderful.

If you had told us that Hannah Montana would later go on to cover one of the most iconic songs of all time with some of the biggest stone-cold weirdos in music (that’s a compliment, guys), we would have laughed at you. It would’ve been real embarrassing for us in hindsight.

But Cyrus’ vocals and emotive abilities have been bolstered by her work with the Lips — they of playful but accomplished musical dexterity — as evidenced by their work on “A Day in The Life.” And though it’s hard to put our finger on it, as each musician’s signature playful absurdness kicks into gear, we can’t help but want to at least explore their be-glittered, batsh– world.

It’s good to be a gorgeous beach (people worship and pine for you, but there is the downside: urine), but it’s even better to be Amber Rose, whose radiant beauty managed to shame even the most pristine, picturesque, Instagram-worthy patches of Gulf Shores, Alabama, where master photobomber Amber introduced her Hangout Festival headliner husband, Wiz Khalifa (who just announced he’s prepping his 28 Grams mixtape), and hosted “MTV’s Summer Kickoff at Hangout Festival,” with “Guy Code” star Andrew Schultz.

Tune in to the show Sunday, May 18 at 7 p.m. ET, and check out photos of Amber Rose shaming She’s kinda photogenic, if you hadn’t picked up on that yet.

1.) Casually stunting on the beach with beauty game on lock:

2.) Out-”Baywatch”-ing “Baywatch:

3.) Blessing mortals and giant beach ball alike with her gorgeous glow:

4.) Making this ping-pong table sorry it’s not her:

5.) I can’t…

What’s a music festival without dancing? Nothing, that’s what.

What’s a music festival without copious amounts of air-guitaring, air-drumming, and air-slappin’ da bass? Less than nothing. A hollow shell.

Luckily, Hangout Fest is replete with dudes who can air-shred, air-slap, and phantom drum with the best of them.

Bask in the glory of Hangout Fest’s air champs and invisible guitar heroes below:

Serious question: Do you think Kanye West wanted a croissant instead of ice cream while he was in Paris Sunday (May 18)? Because the look on his face is not that of a man who wanted ice cream.

Yes, folks: We’re dissecting ice cream excursion photos here, as the duo formerly known as Kim Kardashian and Kanye West — once unified, they will only be known as Kimye forevermore — are in Paris, getting their pre-marital bliss on in preparation for The Wedding of The Millennium To End All Weddings And Also Millenniums. Still the question must be begged: Why are you so angry at that cream of ice?

Surely, there must be something more at play here. Because there is nothing about sweet cream dreams, crafted in icy perfection, that should make anyone upset or even vaguely annoyed.

Maybe they only had caramel but Kanye wanted mint chocolate chip?

Maybe the cone was not evenly golden brown, causing the rapper to reminisce about those waffle cones he loved back in Chicago?

Maybe he’s more of a Dreyer’s man than a Häagen-Dazs enthusiast (maybe it’s a point of contention in the Kimye relationship)?

Maybe he didn’t even want ice cream at all — Kim had a craving, though, and the bride always gets what she wants — and the waning availability of his favorite French speciality made him melancholic?

Or ...
