Ke$ha Regrets Nothing, Not Even Drinking Her Own Pee

Before the premiere of unrepentant star Ke$ha promised that her MTV docu-series wouldn't be sanitized, proudly proclaiming it would feature "everything from breakdowns to triumphs and make outs and mornings after."

Of course, she forgot to mention the part where she drank her own pee. But that scene — featured in the show's fifth episode — certainly caught the attention of groups like the Parents Television Council, who branded it "disgusting" and "vile." So now, with "My Crazy Beautiful Life's" six-episode run over, we had to ask ... does Ke$ha have any regrets about the stuff we saw on screen?

You can probably guess her answer.

"No. I know you want me to say I wish I didn't drink my pee, but I'm happy I did," Ke$ha told MTV News. "I don't go online because it gives me anxiety. I know everyone's always talking about 'How dare I fill-in-the-blank.' [But] It's my pee!"

It is indeed. And though all six eps of "My Crazy Beautiful Life" have aired, when Ke$ha stopped by MTV to premiere her new video last week, we couldn't help but notice that she brought her brother — and documentarian — Lagan along with her. And, yes, he was filming. Which lead us to wonder if a second season of the show could be in the works.

"I don't know MTV; would you guys like a second season?" she laughed. "We have so much amazing footage that didn't make it, you don't understand. [Lagan] followed me around for two-and-a-half years ... There was one ...

Beyonce Laughs Off Pregnancy Rumors

Beyoncé wrapped up the first leg of her Mrs. Carter Show world tour over the weekend with pregnancy rumors still swirling.

Only weeks ago, Jay-Z reportedly shut down the speculation, but when the singer sat down with the "Today" show, she played it coy instead of issuing a hard "yes" or "no" answer.

"What kind of rumor? Huh?" the singer said with a laugh when interviewed backstage at the Sound of Change Live charity concert in London. "I don't know what you're talking about!"

Her bite comes days after she posted a photo of herself sipping wine with Hova while trekking the globe, leaving fans to further speculate without a firm answer from the singer herself. Drinking wine isn't the only thing she and her rapper hubby have done together in the last few days. On Saturday night he joined her onstage in London at Twickenham Stadium, where they performed "Crazy in Love" together.

In addition to her Jay-Z duet, Bey also performed "Run the World (Girls)," "Single Ladies," "If I Were a Boy" and "Halo." Other performers included Jessie J, Rita Ora, Iggy Azalea and Florence and the Machine. The benefit show raised $4.3 million for the Gucci-sponsored organization Chime for Change, which promotes female empowerment.

The day before the London show, Beyoncé played Antwerp, Belgium, closing out the European leg of the Mrs. Carter jaunt, giving fans the first full listen to "Standing on the Sun." "We've been saving this song just for y'all," she told the crowd before launching into the searing, ...

2 Chainz Fuels September Album With ‘Gasoline’

All 2 Chainz wanted for his birthday last year was a big booty girl, but in 2013, a new album is at the top of his b-day wish list. On September 10, Deuce plans to release his as-of-yet untitled sophomore album. If the date sticks, it will come at a very special time: Chainz was born on September 12.

"Yeah man, I'm a Virgo so that should be cool, man," he told MTV News on Thursday when we caught him in Atlanta on the set of B.o.B's But that's not all. "And I just found out Floyd will be fighting the 14th, so that's gonna be a good week, man," he said of the big boxing match between the undefeated champion Floyd Mayweather and rising star Canelo Alvarez.

"We should all celebrate the week of the 10th man, I'm just really... adding gasoline or adding steroids to what I was already doing as far as locking own the club, locking down the streets," Chainz added. "Just really giving it to you from my heart man and also enjoying life, enjoying getting this paper. You feel me?"

On Sunday night, 2 Chainz treated Summer Jam fans to something exclusive. Not only did he surprise fans and bring out Nicki Minaj to the very concert she boycotted last year, he also gave the crowd a first listen to his new single "Feds Watching."

The track doesn't officially drop on iTunes until Tuesday, but Chainz bopped excitedly to the reggae-tinged track onstage, and judging from the crowd's reaction, the world is ...

Miley Cyrus Grows Up, Gets ‘Turnt Up’ On ‘We Can’t Stop’

Miley Cyrus really can't be tamed. After weeks of teasing fans about the release of her single the singer finally dropped it on Ryan Seacrest's radio show Monday (June 3), giving Smilers a taste of a more mature Cyrus.

Produced by Mile Will Made it, the single has summer jam vibe and celebrates partying and just being yourself. Unlike some of her earlier party songs, "We Can't Stop" doesn't have that distinct electronic sound. Instead, she went for '90s R&B and pop influences with the inclusion of piano and fuzzy synths. A chopped-and-screwed-style voice opens the track with the proclamation, "It's our party, we can do what we want/ It's our party we can say who we want/ It's our party, we can go love who we want."

Cyrus is clearly making a grown-up statement on the song, and fans might be surprised by Miley's references to party drugs like Ecstasy (or Molly as its been named) and getting "turnt up" on the tune. On the chorus, Miley sings, "We like to party/ Dancing with Molly/ Doing whatever we want/ This is our house/ This is our rules/ And we can't stop/ And we won't stop/ Can't you see it's we who own the night."

It's not all partying though. The head-bopping track also has a message or two for the haters weaved into the lyrics. "To my homegirls here with the big butts/ Shaking it like we're at the strip club/ Remember only god can judge you/ Forget the haters, 'cause somebody loves 'ya," she sings about twerking.

Angelina Jolie Makes First Appearance Since Double Mastectomy

Just weeks after writing about her preventive double mastectomy, Angelina Jolie made her first red-carpet appearance at the London premiere of Brad Pitt's latest flick,

Donning a chic black Saint Laurent gown, the actress spoke to several media outlets at the fete, opening up about her decision to be so candid about her surgery, which she underwent after being diagnosed with a mutated BRCA1 gene. She wrote about her surgery in a piece for the New York Times published in May.

"I've been very happy just to see the discussion about women's health expanded, and that means the world to me," Jolie told reporters, according to the BBC. "After losing my mom to these issues, I'm very grateful for it."

Jolie's mother, Marcheline Bertrand, died from ovarian cancer in 2007, and shortly after Jolie penned her essay, she also lost her aunt, Debbie Martin (Bertrand's sister), to breast cancer.

However, at the premiere, Jolie tried to put the spotlight back on Pitt and his zombie-themed June 21 film release. "I'm very excited for Brad. And it's a very fun film and my boys are around tonight so they're enjoying it," she said, before adding, "He's been extraordinary, just extraordinary. He's such a wonderful man and a wonderful father. I'm very, very lucky."

In the wake of her candid essay, the Oscar winner has received lots of support from her peers in Hollywood, and that includes her partner, Pitt, who spoke about her courage at the premiere.

"Well, I mean the beautiful thing is that for us, ...

French Montana, Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj Rock Summer Jam — But Papoose Steals The Show!

EAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey — There are two things that rap fans expect from Hot 97's annual Summer Jam concert: rain and a flood of surprise guests.

The rain has become a near-inevitability, but the parade of secret guests is tradition. So even though the robust official main stage lineup boasted Joe Budden, Miguel, Wale, Chris Brown, Fabolous, Wu-Tang Clan, 2 Chainz, A$AP Rocky, Kendrick Lamar and French Montana, fans rightfully expected so much more on Sunday night.

During the early portion of the five-hour throw-down, Mariah Carey, J. Cole, Meek Mill, Pusha T, Black Hippy, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and Lil' Kim all surprised the crowd at the open-air MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, for what was New York radio station Hot 97's 20th installment of Summer Jam. Still, the absolute best came as the night began to wind down during 2 Chainz's set when the savvy Atlanta rap star welcomed Nicki Minaj to the stage, a year after she boycotted the concert.

The Pink Friday MC was met with much excitement as she performed "I Luv Dem Strippers" and "Beez in the Trap" with Chainz, but not every guest received such a warm welcome last night.

In what appeared to be an unplanned moment, Brooklyn MC Papoose hijacked some time in between Kendrick Lamar's and French Montana's closing sets, taking the wind out of a crowd that was widely hoping Jay-Z would make his umpteenth Summer Jam appearance. (He would not, despite roaring social media buzz.)

When New York representative French Montana finally took the stage to wrap things ...
