Just try to have more fun than Jay Z and Beyoncé. I wish you luck.

Last night at the Brooklyn Nets vs. Toronto Raptors game, Jay and Bey lived up to their cute-couple status in courtside seats. The Nets beat the Raptors 97-86 in game six (Sorry, Drake), but will have to win game seven to advance in the NBA playoffs.

“Hold up, Bey, did you see that?”

Jay cackles gleefully as his team crushes the Raptors.

Beyoncé’s face when she realizes she forgot her lint roller.

Um, what’s so funny?

Shout-out to that guy behind them who got in on this adorable moment.

Oh, Hov.

Thumbs up for sports.

Hilary Duff is coming clean about her upcoming album, her first LP since Dignity 7 years ago. And it turns out, Ed Sheeran will be involved.

“I’m working with a lot of people. I’m still writing, so that process is still going on,” she told MTV News on the 2014 iHeartRadio Music Awards red carpet. Hilary’s working with songwriters and producers like Lindy Robbins and Toby Gad, among others.

Wearing an orange pout and voluptuous top knot, the singer/actress and mom of 2-year-old Luca was hyped to be talking about her new project, supposedly out in the fall. In fact, she was so hyped that while she was rattling off details, she casually slipped a HUGE detail.

“I’m cutting an Ed Sheeran song next week, which I’m really excited about,” she said while listing everything about her new music, including that a single should be out “soon.”

Wait, rewind. Ed Sheeran?? Yes!

Describing the album as an “earthy, indie-pop vibe,” Duff explained what it means to be returning to the studio after taking a hiatus from releasing music.

“It feels good to be in the studio. It feels good to be talking about my last few years — the high points and the low points,” she said. “I really just want to be honest and be an open book for my fans to know where I’ve been and what I’ve been doing, how I feel and all that good stuff. So, I should have a single soon, and an album by the ...

Pharrell needs a tissue. Can somebody please get this guy a tissue?

It seems like his uber-successful single “Happy” is making the producer weep.

While accepting the Innovator Award at the 2014 iHeartRadio Music Awards on Thursday night, Skateboard P clasped his mouth before taking his trophy from friend Gwen Stefani, overwhelmed with the accolade and the cheers from the audience.

And don’t think we didn’t catch that tear, P.

Shaking his head in disbelief, he said “I never thought in a million years I’d be standing here as an artist.”

“All I did was write the songs, and you guys did all the heavy lifting, all the hard work, all the millions of views on YouTube,” he said.

It was because of his fans that he got emotional during an Oprah Winfrey interview. I’d tell him to get it together, but his tears are coming from such a pure, genuine, joyous place that I can’t help but get emotional too.

Does Pharrell’s Mickey Mouse Band-Aid Make Him The New Nelly?

After Oprah showed him a clip of how people all over the world recreated and danced to “Happy,” he couldn’t help but break down. “Why am I crying on Oprah?” he joked.

“It’s overwhelming because I love what I do. I just appreciate the fact that like people have believed in me for so long that I could make it to this point to feel that.”

Nicki Minaj is letting her rapping speak for itself. She’s left her colorful wigs, fancy robes and tutus behind — along with the hyper-pop production of some of her biggest hits — and now she’s getting back to her roots.

Her new song “Yasss Bish,” featuring Soulja Boy, does just that.

Dropped on Saturday (May 3), the track starts out with Soulja Boy’s intense 808 drum hits and a sinister, echo-y loop. And don’t forget about the bell that’s ringing that tells you Nicki’s about to take you to church.

Production aside, Minaj’s vocals are what stands out. Her voice is melodic, but her message is fierce. “I am the queen bee ’cause I’m a machine,” she raps. (Move over Queen Bey, I guess.)

She even references ex Clippers owner Donald Stirling, who was booted from the NBA after making racist comments. “I don’t f— with you n—as, I own the Clippers,” she prods.

Listen carefully to the track though, because hidden in all those brags is a very important announcement:

“Droppin’ my single in two weeks/ The Pink Print album a movie.”

Wait,whaaaaa? Yassssssssssss Bishhhhh!!!

The track follows “Lookin’ Ass,” “Danny Glover (Remix)”and “Chi-Raq.” Earlier in the morning, Young Money founder and labelmate dropped a track of his own — “Believe Me” with Drake, the first single off Tha Carter V.

Also, can we talk about how Pennsatucky from “Orange Is The New Black” serves as the single art? Amazing.
