It’s one thing if your picture is all over the world, but when you’re far enough away from home to actually see it, that’s something else. When Taylor Swift got in a car this morning in London, she saw herself staring back at her. That tends to happen when you’re on the cover of Vogue U.K.

I, for one, cannot say I’ve seen my picture in another country, but I bet it feels fairly fantastic. Taylor seemed stoked about it:

“It’s so wild being back in London when Shake It Off is in its 3rd week at #1 and I get in the car and see this,” she wrote, sharing a photo of the magazine sitting innocently in her cab.

Oh hai, Taylor. I’m sure I’ll be seeing you on Mars in 2020. I heard Mars Vogue is big in the Milky Way.

Have you ever just wanted a pile of soft, squrimy puppies? Sorry, that was rhetorical. Have you ever wanted to roll around with a pile of puppies while they jump on you and lick your face?

I guess that was rhetorical too.

Well, this guy made his dream a reality, doing what we all want to do but just don’t have enough puppies for. I mean, where did he get all these puppies?

Nevertheless, squeal with happiness as you see this rotund Russian man in pure joy, giggling with delight as the lil’ fluff balls smother him with love.

When I dialed artist Phillip Butah in the U.K., we had both just finished watching Ed Sheeran’s “Thinking Out Loud” video — and were kind of shocked at Ed’s secret skill for ballroom dancing.

“It’s actually really good,” Butah said, laughing, surprised that even he — a childhood friend of Sheeran’s — didn’t expect that from him.

Butah and Sheeran know each other from “back in the day,” when Ed’s parents were mentoring Phillip in school, and now the duo are publishing a book together: “Ed Sheeran: A Visual Journey.”

The book tells the story of Ed’s beginnings as a singer/songwriter and how he rose to fame; it comes out Thursday (but those of us in the U.S. have to wait until November 18). Butah, whose portrait of Ed graced the cover of the singer’s + album, provided the artwork for this project — nearly 50 images drawn with pencil, pastels, charcoal and graphite.

Running Press

On the cover of “A Visual Journey” is a baggy-pantsed Ed, tattoos running down his arm. A bright, neon-green color soaks the cover of the book, which Butah admits was almost the album art for Sheeran’s sophomore LP, X. Butah’s pencil drawing shows the musician as the simplest version of himself — alone, just like he is onstage at an arena, and just like how he once was playing clubs by himself, trying to make it big.

“It’s just where he is right ...

It may be the best three words Justin Bieber has every spoken (or the worst, if you’re that kind of girl).

No, I’m not talking about “Baby baby baby,” I’m talking about what I woke up to on Justin’s Shots account this morning: “Shave the monster.”

Let me blow that up for you:

“Shaved the monster.”

That’s right. JBiebs got rid of his mustache and it’s the end of an era — an era that we won’t really miss.

This isn’t the first time Justin has gotten rid of that fuzzy caterpillar. Back in August, he made top headlines when he filmed the lip hair massacre, delighting fans and tricking them into thinking it was mustache no more.

Is this the last time, Bieber? How long will you make us do this? Is it the mustache that has Selena coming back?

Confused. Shocked. Relieved. Moving on.

Forrest Gump once said, “You can tell a lot about a person by their shoes.” But I think you can learn more about someone by asking their favorite member of 5 Seconds of Summer. So ignore that Forrest quote for now (unless you’re Michael, then you know what I’m talking about), and let’s see what your favorite 5SOS guy says about you.

Michael

You are restless, constantly craving cheeseburgers, and you can never truly decide on a hair color — although orange is your favorite. You are always falling in love and enjoy a good cuddle. You usually fall for someone who’s equally as interested in both Pokemon and Dragon Ball Z.

Ashton

@ashtonirwin/ Instagram

You’re a good friend who’s always listening — except when someone crosses your favorite person, Will Smith. You have big hands (weird, but true), and that’s probably why you’re a natural swimmer. You are an animal lover — you hold a particular fondness for turtles.

Luke

@luke_is_a_penguin/ Instagram

You’re popular and charming, and you love food. You find ways to work off a good meal by playing soccer or snowboarding. You’re not afraid to take risks, and you love soaking up the energy of those around you. And you like penguins. Don’t forget the penguins.

Calum

You’re humble and aren’t too scared to show the world what you have. You have cute wittle cheeks and an amazing voice (still talking about you, reader, not Calum). You’re ...

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez aren’t exactly your model couple. Sometimes the two singers seem so in love, and other times, they want to be far, far away from each other.

Whether Justin seems like he’s moved on to a Jenner or a Victoria’s Secret model, you’ve always got to watch out for Selener. The two may have broken up six or seven times, but they’re always close to their next make-up session.

There’s no denying it: We can learn from the sometimes-sweet-sometimes-toxic (let’s be honestly — mostly toxic) relationship:

DISCLAIMER: Do not try this IRL.

1. If you want someone back…
…just post a random picture of them on a red carpet and call them “the most elegant princess in the world.” Works every time.

2. Maybe you only do have one true love
It’s hard to forget your first love. I can’t get inside Justin and Selena’s heads, but maybe their relationship is so difficult because they can’t physically be in the same place at the same time. They’re on-again-off-again-ness may just be your average LDR. They just can’t stand being apart, so they can’t be together. Maybe Justin and Selena are made for each other. Maybe…

3. You don’t have to have a working title
You probably don’t have people discussing your relationship as much as Jelena’s. And you probably don’t even have a cool conjoined portmanteau for your relationship. You can work on that. But also know that you don’t need to define your relationship.

If you’re dating, cool. If ...

Blake Lively is reportedly expecting a baby with husband Ryan Reynolds (homygod deep breaths).

The actress revealed the news on her lifestyle website Preserve, posting a bunch of photos from a harvest-themed party for expecting mothers — Blake included. Among the gorgeous photos, the 27-year-old shared this one her brother Eric took:

How happy does she look!?

So happy. There’s nothing like an autumn bash to celebrate the biggest news of your life!

Blake and Ryan married in September 2012, at the Boone Hall Plantation, just outside of Charleston, South Carolina. Congrats to the happy couple!

It’s almost time.

One Direction‘s “Where We Are” concert film will be here shortly… and will be gone before you know it. Now opening its third set of dates due to demand — October 11, 12 and 13 — the film will bring 1D’s world tour to theaters near you. And with seven days to go until that glorious weekend, we’ve got two exclusive clips – and five exclusive stills – here for you on MTV News!

First, this sneak peek at the live performance of “Little Things” is just a smidgen of all the backstage access, onstage selfies and exclusive interviews Directioners will get with the movie. Look closely, and you can almost see a twinkle in Zayn’s eye as fans sing along.

Along with full footage of 1D’s Milan show, the movie also gives fans a 15-minute interview with the group. In this clip from their sit-down, Louis, Zayn, Harry, Liam and Niall reveal their proudest moment. Turns out, it’s the VMAs, where they won three Moonmen (we’re flattered, really).

Niall even talks about how they ate hotdogs unprofessionally in front of Justin Timberlake. As we learned in their book excerpt, Niall’s a big fan.

Not enough 1D? Then check out these five exclusive stills from the film, and glory in all the epic concerty-ness:

“Where We Are” is in theaters October 11 and 12 and will be available on DVD December 2. You ...
