Tyler, The Creator: ‘That Was Me Behind The Wheel Of Justin’s Vehicle’

As it turns out, Keyshawn Johnson
 was chasing the wrong guy. After the former NFL star got heated last week and accused Justin Bieber of tearing around their Calabasas, California, gated community in his white Ferrari, Odd Future leader Tyler, the Creator, stepped up over the weekend to clear the air.

"That was me behind the wheel of Justin's vehicle," wrote Tyler, confirming multiple reports that he was driving JB's souped-up sports car. Johnson chased the vehicle after spotting it ripping through the community, eventually chasing the car down to Bieber's house and trying to confront the singer about his need for speed.

"Don't blame him," Tyler added. "People are actually evil swearing up and down that it was who it wasn't."

Bieber appreciated the effort to take the fall, writing back, "All good buddy. I deal with this everyday. Thanks though. The baby ain't mine either," he added in reference to a new paternity claim by a woman who reportedly said she had a one-night stand with the singer in Miami after meeting him at a TGI Friday's restaurant. Bieber's camp has denied the woman's story, just as it vigorously defended a previous, since-dropped paternity claim
 from 2011 by a woman who said she had a one-time fling with the singer backstage at one of his shows.

The Johnson incident was just the latest in a string of car troubles
 Bieber has endured over the past three years, several of which have involved friends such as Lil Twist and Lil Za ...

Scott Weiland Files $7 Million Countersuit Against Stone Temple Pilots

The war of words between Scott Weiland and his (former?) bandmates in Stone Temple Pilots heated up on Monday (June 3), when Weiland filed a multi-million lawsuit against STP, claiming that, despite their disagreements over the years, without him there is no STP.

The suit, filed on Friday in Los Angeles, names STP members Deal and Robert DeLeo and Eric Kretz as the defendants, accusing them of, among other things, breach of contract and fiduciary duties. It comes after the remaining members of the group recently sued Weiland over claims that he sabotaged a planned 20th anniversary tour in favor of his own solo outing celebrating the band's first two albums.

"How do you expel a man from a band that he started, named, sang every lead on every song, wrote the lyrics, and was the face of for twenty years, and then try to grab the name and goodwill for yourselves," read Weiland's legal action. "You don't, but three of the instrumentalists from the band 'Stone Temple Pilots' tried ... Without Weiland, the band ceases to be the same musical group that millions of fans recognize and love."

The lawsuit continues the argument that Weiland began on May 24 when he penned an open letter to fans expressing his shock and disappointment that the remaining trio carried on without him, recorded a song and recently performed with a new lead singer, Linkin Park's Chester Bennington.
 "The band that played last weekend was not Stone Temple Pilots and it was wrong of them to present themselves as ...

Demi Lovato, Juicy J ‘Can’t Stop’ Gushing About Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus gave fans a taste of her more mature sound when she dropped her laid-back party jam on Monday (June 3). The Mike Will Made It-produced breezy summer anthem (the lead single off her 2013 album release) is all about partying and embracing yourself, big butts and all, and abandons the electronic jams of her Disney days for a more R&B- and hip-hop-leaning sound.

The song's release immediately lit up social media, including Vine, where fans quickly posted their reactions to the tune and to meeting Cyrus outside of Ryan Seacrest's radio show, where she premiered the song.

Elsewhere, the hashtag #wecantstop trended thanks to the excitement felt by Cyrus' fans and famous friends. "I WANNA HEAR IT NOWWW ❤," fellow former Disney princess Demi Lovato tweeted.

Meanwhile, Juicy J, who collaborated with Miley and Mike Will on the producer's track "23," added, "@MikeWiLLMadeIt congrats mane you did it again! #wecantstop"

Elsewhere on Twitter, the Smilers couldn't get enough of the jam. "SO F---ING PERFECT LEFT ME IN TEARS," ‏@drewsmathers wrote. @stratfordsslut gushed that Cyrus "slayed" and @kd_khyeuh added, "great job with the song. Nobody is touching you! Your such a bad bitch and I love it!!"

"I THINK YOU MADE THE BEST COME BACK IN THE HISTORY OF COME BACKS I AM NOT WORTHY I ADORE YOU," ‏@illuminatijiley wrote.

While most fans loved the track immediately, other music lovers wanted to give the song a few more spins before nailing down their opinions.

"Can't decide if I like it yet or not, but its definitely not what I ...

‘Catfish’ Season Two Trailer Teases Shocking Twists: Watch Now!

A new preview for the new season of "Catfish," MTV's hit reality show, just premiered online, and Nev and Max are back on the road, looking to reveal online relationships for what they really are.

The powerful first season saw the word "Catfish" become a verb in common usage — thanks in large part to the personal life of Notre Dame football player Manti Te'o. The social media sleuths will once again take up the cause of average people who just want to know the truth behind their online relationships.

Season two's trailer teases some of the online relationship suffering from dishonesty, including one woman who has never met her fiancé in person. There's also a relationship that has gone on for eight years without any in-person contact. Needless to say, there will be some big, life-changing meet ups during the second season.

The rest of the preview gives you all of the "Catfish" standards that you expect from the show: tears, anger and lots of nervous people about to meet their long-time online connections.

The biggest revelation comes at the trailer's conclusion and is sure to have the show's rather hardcore fans eager to watch the premiere when it debuts later this month. "This could be the biggest surprise ever," Nev says into Max's camera at the very end of the preview.

The second season of "Catfish: The TV Show" premieres on MTV on Tuesday, June 25 at 10 p.m. ET.

Vampire Weekend Get Weed-y And Weird At ‘Diane Young’ Dinner Party

Vampire Weekend's Modern Vampires of the City just debuted at #1 on the Billboard albums chart, and they undoubtedly wanted to celebrate ... which at least partially explains their new "Diane Young" video.

In the clip, VW throw a Last Supper/séance soiree and invite some of their pals (including Santigold, Dirty Projectors main man David Longstreth and professionally affected singer Sky Ferreira, to name just a few). Frontman Ezra Koening buddies up with a dude in a balaclava. Drummer Chris Tomson engages in a shouting match with Chromeo. Bassist Chris Baio tenderly caresses an espresso machine. There are sparklers and silly string and champagne and at one point, someone uses a saxophone as a bong ... so, y'know, it's educational too.

In short, "Diane Young" doesn't make an ounce of sense, but that's largely beside the point. It's a series of non-sequiturs (which, come to think of it, sort works in the context of Modern Vampires' musical and lyrical anachronisms), not to mention an excuse to blow threw a couple crates of expensive bubbly ... and, again, given VW's recent round of successes, well, you can't fault them for wanting to do that.

"Diane Young" is also an absurdist blast, recalling the oddball excellence of something like Beck's wacked-out clip, and when you consider that the first version of the video was little more than a series of slo-mo shots of Saabs burning well, then the odder the better.

Then again, perhaps that's all reading too deeply. Like Koenig's verbal wordplay ("Diane Young" = "Dying Young") suggests, ...

‘Teen Wolf’ Star Crystal Reed Previews Season 3 Premiere

It's back to Beacon Hills for another action-packed season of MTV's supernatural series

Last August's season-two finale was one memorable doozy, to be sure, but if you need a quick refresher of where things left off, you're in luck. MTV News spoke with star Crystal Reed (who plays Allison Argent) to get a quick catch-up before diving into the shenanigans of season three.

"The end of last season, Allison did some really interesting things," Reed said, diplomatically. "She was pretty vengeful, and she made a few mistakes, and so she's realized that. She took three months and took a summer break with her dad to Paris and sort of figured things out. Her and Scott have been broken up for a while. She doesn't see him, and she's kind of removed herself from all things Beacon Hills."

Got that? OK, let's move on to what fans can expect from Monday's (June 3) premiere and the rest of the season, especially as it relates to a promise Allison is probably going to break.

"We pick up tonight with her returning, and she sees Scott, and all those things come back to her," Reed explained. "And she's made a pact with her father not to be involved with werewolf hunting anymore, because it's really not that good. Things start to happen in Beacon Hills, and she finds herself starting to question whether she can keep that commitment anymore, just because she's a person who can't just stand by when bad things are happening. She has to be involved, and she has to help ...
