Back in 2013, Tokio Hotel promised that if they won MTV’s Musical March Madness — our annual, fan-voted artist tournament — they’d release their fifth studio album. But if they lost, that followup to 2009′s Humanoid would never see the light of day?

Well, they lost to Ed Sheeran that year, but it looks like the German rock band has since reversed course on the whole “never see the light of day” thing.

Although the album has yet to see a confirmed release date on iTunes U.S., Kings Of Suburbia is slated to drop in various international markets on October 3 of this year. And on Friday (September 12), Tokio Hotel released the music video for piano ballad “Run, Run, Run,” their first new clip since 2010.

The video is a pretty somber affair, offering a much more toned-down return than you might expect from the group — and I’m not just talked about Bill and Tom Kaulitz’s streamlined new hairstyles. Check it out below.

Could it be the color-changing, pastel-hued hair? The sleek pair of frames that may or may not be charmed with magics most shareable? No, the secret to Tyler Oakley’s success is…a good education. #TheMoreYouKnow #ButLikeActually

The 25-year-old YouTuber — whose channel boasts over 5-million subscribers and more than 260-million (!) views — sat down with MTV’s own Sway Calloway at a Get Schooled rally held at Booker T. Washington High School in Atlanta on Monday (September 8) to talk about the impact that education has had on his career.

“Studying communication and studying public relations and marketing and public speaking, that got me to where I am. And, even though I have this very new kind of career, I use everything I learned,” Oakley said.

Are you obsessed with dying? Do you currently live at your parents house? Then you might just have a chance with Lena Dunham — or, at least you would have (maybe? possibly? still probably not, like, at all?) had a chance with her were she not already dating Jack Antonoff.

As the release of her first book, a collection of personal essays titled “Not That Kind Of Girl,” looms nearer, the creator and star of “Girls” is on the cover of The New York Times Magazine‘s Culture Issue discussing life, love and her terrier-poodle mix, Lamby.

In one particularly interesting anecdote about her boyfriend of Bleachers and fun. fame, Dunham reveals that there were many similarities that drew them to one another, including a shared set of neuroses: “When I met Jack, I said to my mom, ‘I met this guy, and he’s obsessed with dying, too, and he lives in his parents’ house!’”
