Ariana Grande may be certifiably boy crazy on tracks like "Baby I" and "The Way," on her upcoming single, "Problem," she's getting her head out of the clouds.

Days after sharing the seductive cover art for the Iggy Azalea-assisted track, Grande gave her ever-hungry fans a preview of the highly anticipated track, which is the first offering from her upcoming sophomore album.

"Head in the clouds, got no weight on my shoulders/ I should be wiser and realize that I've got one less problem without you," she sings with the help of an unidentified Mr. The lyrics flash over Ariana's face, which is covered by a pinwheel-shaped light. (The image looks familiar to avid Arianators, as it was one of two eligible to become the single's cover art.)

"Problem" will drop in six days. This isn't the first taste Grande's given of album #2. Last month, she previewed four tracks, ranging from the raw ballad "My Everything" to the drum-heavy "They Don't Understand."

Just last week, Chris Brown gave us a preview of he and Ariana's long-simmering duet, with a suave dance clip. Even though the collaboration has been delayed because of Brown's legal troubles, it seems like fans will be in for a club-ready joint once it is finally released.

August Alsina knows what it's like to make mistakes. But when it comes to good friend Chris Brown's mounting legal troubles, the Testimony singer can't understand why the "Loyal" crooner has to be torn down in the public eye.

"We had a conversation right before he had to go to rehab," Alsina told VLAD TV recently. "That's my n---a. Every time I talk to him, I always try to send him love and positivity. It always baffles me how people can lift you up so high and make it seem like they love you then you do one thing wrong and it's all of a sudden, you the devil and you evil and everything you do from that point on is not right."

Brown has been in custody since March 14, when he was arrested for violating his probation after getting kicked out of rehab facility in Los Angeles. His assault trial, which was set to begin in D.C. today, has been delayed until April 23.

Alsina recently caught some backlash of his own after his appearance last week on BET's "106 & Park" turned awkward when co-host Keshia Chanté asked him about his ongoing feud with Trey Songz.

"So you just gon' go against the grain," Alsina said, dressing down Chanté on live television. "I just told y'all not to ask me that sh-- when I got up in here."

For his part, though, Alsina feels like he was portrayed as the bad guy in that situation.

"I was played," Alsina told Sway Calloway on Sway In The Morning. ...

Danny Boyle, director of "127 Hours," "Trainspotting" and "Slumdog Millionaire," among others, is in talks to direct the Aaron Sorkin-written Steve Jobs biopic, according to The Hollywood Reporter. In 2009, Boyle won an Oscar for his direction of "Slumdog," and the movie also received Best Picture honors. With a script with a pedigree as prestigious as Sorkin's — the writer struck gold with both "The Social Network" and "Moneyball" in recent years, not to mention his incredibly successful run with television's "The West Wing" — chances are the movie already had the interest of Academy members before the ink was even dry.

David Fincher, director of "The Social Network," had previously been named by Sony to helm the project, but the deal recently fell apart, reportedly due to compensation demands.

Here's what's even more Oscar-baity than the Oscar-bait combo of Steve Jobs, Aaron Sorkin and Danny Boyle: Throwing Leonardo DiCaprio into the mix. THR reported that one of Hollywood's most admired leading men is being eyed to play Jobs, the Apple Computers co-founder and innovator who passed away in 2011.

Inevitably, the eventual movie will be endlessly compared to 2013's Ashton Kutcher-led "Jobs," which grabbed only $16.1 million at the box office and garnered a disappointing 27 percent approval rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes. When it comes to a satisfying portrayal of the computer genius' life, maybe Sorkin, Boyle and DiCaprio are just the men for the job(s).

As Steve himself would say, here's to the crazy ones — especially if it ...

A producer who worked with Jay Z at Roc-A-Fella Records is allegedly at the center of an extortion plot over master tapes that could be worth tens of millions of dollars.

According to TMZ, a producer named Chauncey Mahan was questioned on Friday by authorities in connection with an alleged extortion and theft plot centered on Jigga masters that were thought to be missing.

The master recordings made between 1998 and 2002 were reported missing in 2002, with Jay's camp assuming they were lost. Last Friday, Mahan — who reportedly had a number of the recordings in his California storage facility — contacted Live Nation and said he was either going to auction the tapes or hand them over for a $100,000 "storage" fee. Live Nation has a deal with Jay that covers their joint venture, Roc Nation.

It's unknown how the tapes, valued between $15-$20 million, got into Mahan's hands. Authorities questioned the producer on Friday in connection with the alleged plot after Mahan reportedly agreed to sell them to Live Nation for $75,000.

According to TMZ, when Mahan took Jay's people to the storage facility on Friday to complete the deal, the Los Angeles Police Department was there and they detained Mahan, who agreed to be questioned at the police station. He also handed over the tapes to the LAPD until a judge determines proper ownership.

A spokesperson for Jay Z could not be reached for comment at press time.

While Mahan was not arrested, Jigga's team filed a grand larceny complaint on Friday with the NYPD, who are also investigating ...

"#Selfie" may be the Chainsmokers' first major-label single, but Andrew Taggart and Alex Pall are no strangers to the dance music scene. Since they joined forces in 2012, the New York-based producing partners have been churning out buzzed-about remixes around town. When the two casually spent an hour putting together their soon-to-be monster hit, they had no idea how "#Selfie" would change the course of their careers.

Quickly climbing up the Billboard, iTunes and Spotify charts, the track has also raked in tens of millions of views on YouTube. With a whole song's worth of quotable dialogue, "#Selfie" has quickly become much more than a track on a club playlist — it's a cultural phenomenon and anthem for the generation that invented the word.

So what does it all mean? "There was really not a message. It was either a stupid idea or a smart idea," Alex explained to MTV News. "I think it's funny. People are like, 'What are the consequences that selfies are having on society?' It's like, 'I don't know!' We made the song in an hour — give us a break!"

The Chainsmokers encourage taking the song at face value. "The song is just a satire — it's funny, it's entertainment, and I think that's why it did so well," Alex said.

In a post-"#Selfie" world, the Chainsmokers plan to produce music with a little more "integrity, in terms of who we are and what we've been doing," Andrew explained. They're gaining traction as MTV's Artist to Watch and already have the support of huge dance artists like Tiësto ...

By now, you've probably heard that Joss Whedon dropped a delicious surprise onto the internet, making "In Your Eyes," his latest film with director Brin Hill, available for rental on Vimeo. And 'round these parts, we wasted no time dropping our $5 on this movie in which Zoe Kazan and Michael Stahl-David star as two unsuspecting 20-somethings who find themselves connected via a cross-country telepathic chatline, because of course we did.

The verdict: there are no vampire slayers or "Avengers" members in "In Your Eyes," but this movie definitely hails from the Whedon-verse, with plenty of the writer's signature flair stamped all over it. Here are the most Whedon-y moments, beginning with:

1. Tropes Gone Wild
Whedon loves to play around with classic movie cliches, so that whatever you're watching feels simultaneously familiar and fresh — as in refreshing, but also as in cheeky, since nothing breathes new life into a plot device quite like a movie that employs it while also making fun of it.

And before it does anything else, "In Your Eyes" definitely has its own laughs at the ridiculous concept of falling in love via supernatural wormhole. Most notably: Dylan's panic over Rebecca being in the future, when she's actually just in a different time zone, which feels very much like a winky dig at the super-serious romantic flop, "The Lake House."

2. Whip-Smart Dialogue
Whedon's ear for articulate banter is unparalleled, but even we didn't realize how unparalleled until we saw it happening between two people, in two different places, connected only by their own personal psychic ...
