I guess Nicki Minaj is my boss now. I’m cool with it. In this promo for the 2014 EMA, which she’s hosting on November 9, Nicki takes over the world and changes MTV to NTV — Nicki Television.

The clip takes you forward to one day after the EMA, after Ms. Minaj has dominated not only MTV, but the world. That happens when you pull double duty. Yes, the rapper is hosting and performing at the show in Glasgow.

And in Nicki’s world, popsicles are shaped like her head, she has her own talk show (cleverly titled “Nicki at Night”) and money has her face on it. Get prepared, people. This is our future.

There’s one thing every Directioner knows (well, there are a few things, actually): The boys love to put on a show. So, lucky for them (and us), One Direction has new dates for their On The Road Again Tour.

Behold: a shirtless Calum Hood lounging around in this Instagram pic. 5 Seconds of Summer are hanging by the pool — a perfect place for Calum to show off his tats.

“you have cool tattoos sir,” the band tweeted, sharing the candid of their bassist. Calum sports his Roman numerals tat and many others, including a feather and a guy in a native headdress.

The guys sure don’t have any tattoos of their own lyrics. They pretty much swore them off during their “Live from MTV” episode.

“It’d be pretty tragic really,” they said. “I mean some lyrics are really good but wouldn’t it be really weird to have your own lyrics tattooed on you?”

Bruno Mars once had a song with a Gym Class Hero, but that doesn’t mean he is one.

According to the “Gorilla” singer, this is what “#Gymlife” — a caption he plastered on the following Instagram this morning — is all about: beers and BBQs.

Um, well, that’s not how most people work out, Bruno, but you know, what? You do what makes you happy.

Happy lifting (steaks)!

Louis Tomlinson doesn’t discriminate when it comes to new pals. That’s why he’s befriended a chimpanzee!

One Direction released stills of their “Steal My Girl” video, of which we’ve seen a gajillion teaser clips, and in the new snaps, we’re introduced to this little gal — a red-sunglass-sporting chimp.

What a sec: is the chimp playing the part of “girl”?

Tell us, Louis! Is this primate the video’s love interest?

Don’t say I didn’t call it, Danny Devito.

There ain’t no party like an S Club party, and that’s exactly why the group is returning.

On Wednesday (October 22), BBC announced that S Club 7 will reunite for the BBC’s Children In Need charity. The British group will perform a medley of their greatest hits on a BBC show on November 14.

Tina Barrett, Paul Cattermole, Jon Lee, Bradley McIntosh, Jo O’Meara, Hannah Spearritt and Rachel Stevens will all be on hand to support the organization, which they’ve always supported. The group recorded the charity’s official single in 2000, “Never Had a Dream Come True.”

“This is going to be the mega S Club party of all time,” the group said. “We’re massive fans of BBC Children In Need and it was great to be able to support the charity all those years ago. We’re really looking forward to bringing it all back for Pudsey, for BBC Children In Need and for all our fans who have been so great over the years.”

When they say Pudsey, they mean, Children In Need’s mascot, a cute yellow bear:

We’re lucky that we’re getting all 7. Back in 2002, Paul Cattermole left the group, which then went by the name S Club. A year later, they disbanded. While together, the singers also recorded another song for Children In Need called “Have You Ever” and had their own children’s TV show, “Miami 7.”

Are we pumped for the reunion? You bet.

‘His Holiness the Dalai Lama touched my hair. #nevergoingbald,’ Macklemore wrote.

Turns out, Kanye West is just a big ol’ softie. On Wednesday morning (October 22), the rapper took to Twitter to wish his wife a happy birthday.

Kim turned 34 on Tuesday, and Kanye could barely find the words for her:

She’s the dopest! Aww!

Justin Bieber took a bath with his gold chains on. How do we know? He took a naked picture of it!

Justin donned his bracelets and necklace into his bubble bath and added a new accessory: a beard made from soap.

Justin Bieber Shots

Now, Biebs must have a good self-timer setting on his camera, or someone else is snapping that photo. Wonder who that could be?

And if you ask me, Justin is throwing off some major “Scarface” vibes here.

Bizzle also posted a Vine on Wednesday morning (October 22) of him playing hockey in Los Angeles. He claims he’s the one with the number #20 making the goal.

Being a hockey player was actually the singer’s childhood dream. He was once offered a spot on a Canadian minor league team, and he has a tattoo inspired by the team he used to watch as a kid with his grandpa.

Gwen Stefani enters the Internet for her “Baby Don’t Lie” video — at least, that’s what I imagine the inside of the Internet looks like. With checkered, angular mountains and geographic washes of neon pink and yellow, the place she’s visiting definitely isn’t Earth.

I mean, yeah, she’s in front of a green screen for the majority of the video, but in the clip, she’s taking her glitchy world by storm — one blurry step at a time.

The video was directed by Sophie Muller and Weirdcore, who provides the trippy visuals for Aphex Twin. As for the glitchiness, Stefani is right on trend — glitch art, which is made by altering digital data, is huge right now. You go, Gwen Coco.

Try to get past the feeling that your screen is broken or you’re not watching in HD, and just imagine yourself surfing the rainbow waves of the World Wide Web with the No Doubt singer. That’s what I’m doing.

Gwen dropped the “Baby Don’t Lie” track on Monday, and it will most likely be on her upcoming solo record, for which she’s working with friend Pharrell Williams. She’s currently coaching on “The Voice,” which she admits is the reason she wanted to get back to music. The Hollaback Girl has a song on Calvin Harris’ new LP. And, lucky for us, the singer also has plans for a No Doubt album in the future, too.
