Well, that was fast. A day after news of a looming, surprise Carter V album made the Internet rounds, it seems eager fans can now pin the date on their calendars.

Lil Wayne will drop the much-talked fifth installment of his Tha Carter series on May 5, 2014, according to Drake. While it's unclear whether the OVO rapper accidentally let the cat of the bag or was given the all-clear by the Young Money captain, as official as hip-hop release dates go, the spring date appears to be legit.

Drizzy made the announcement on Friday during a set at New Orleans' House of Blues as part of kickoff festivities for the NBA All-Star weekend. And Weezy was on hand, too, hitting the stage for a performance of his own. Still, the album scoop seems to directly contradict what a Cash Money exec had teased in an interview with Buffalo, New York, college paper The Griffin.

"We're very close to dropping the album," Cash Money Records Vice President of Promotion Mel Smith told a reporter from the site in an interview published online Thursday. He added: "It's going to be a huge surprise to everyone; it's an incredible album. ... I can't release the date because [Wayne] wants to surprise people; he wants his true fanbase to get excited but he's worked extremely hard on it and you won't be disappointed."

Smith's assertion, as originally reported by the site, sparked immediate speculation that Wayne was planning to dip into Beyoncé's bag of promo tricks with a surprise release.

Lil Wayne will drop the much-talked about fifth installment of his Tha Carter series on May 5, 2014, according to Drake. While it's unclear whether the OVO rapper accidentally let the cat out of the bag or was given the all-clear by the Young Money captain, as "official" hip-hop release dates go, the spring date appears to be legit.

From a gigantic hot dog to patriotic outfits, Miley Cyrus has for weeks been teasing what to expect from her Bangerz Tour. But that was nothing compared to the real thing.

On Valentine's Day, Miley finally hit Vancouver for the kickoff, and we can only say you probably don't want your mom or dad as a plus one. We've got some of the highlights of Cyrus' set pieces, props and, yes, that enormous (and we hope inedible) ballpark frank.

Check out a full list of Miley's Bangerz Tour dates if you haven't bought your tickets yet.

Parental Advisory Ahead
Miley made sure to set the tone right away, gyrating on a car in front of a very explicit "Parental Advisory" CD sticker label.

Props Are Larger Than Life
While Miley already gave a glimpse on her Instagram of the suspended hot dog prop, for the concert, the singer also slid down a tongue slide, which was fittingly attached to a projection of her own face.

Miley Sells Herself
Like any savvy pop star, Miley is never shy about self-promoting. She rocked out in an oversize T-shirt that features her signature tongue pose and later advertised some other tour merch on her Instagram.

Bangerz: Unplugged
Miley carried over the cowboy get-up from her set, bedazzled hat, grill and all, y'all.

Gettin' That Paper
Hey, everyone's gotta get that paper right? Although upon further inspection, it looks like the money Miley rolled around in were not actually real dolla dolla bills.

Ellen Page has come out as gay.

The "Juno" actress made the announcement in a speech at Time to THRIVE, a national conference encouraging the "safety, inclusion and well-being for LGBTQ youth."

In what The Hollywood Reporter, described as a "moving and deeply" address to the audience at Bally's Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, the actress said she considered it her "social responsibility" to come out as a lesbian.

"I'm here today because I am gay. And because maybe I can make a difference," Page said. "Regardless, for me, I feel a personal obligation and a social responsibility.

"I also do it selfishly, because I am tired of hiding and I am tired of lying by omission. I suffered for years because I was scared to be out. My spirit suffered, my mental health suffered and my relationships suffered. And I'm standing here today, with all of you, on the other side of all that pain. I am young, yes, but what I have learned is that love, the beauty of it, the joy of it and yes, even the pain of it, is the most incredible gift to give and to receive as a human being. And we deserve to experience love fully, equally, without shame and without compromise."

Page went on to talk about the "crushing" pressure from Hollywood to fit into its definitions of what is feminine, what is masculine. She recalled reading a tabloid article that asked why she insisted on "dressing like a massive man."

"It's weird because here I am, an actress, representing--at least in some sense--an industry ...

Ever dreamed about going out with your favorite celebrity? Well, for eight lucky Mahomies, this wish became a reality when MTV's Ultimate Fan Experience sent them on a Valentine;'s dinner date with Austin Mahone.

Immediately following a Valentine's Day edition of starring the singer, four members of our studio audience (and a friend) got their nomnomnom on with Austin after winning a series of challenges during the show.

"We had some noodles, and some other Italian stuff, and it was really good, and I'm full, and it was delicious," Austin told MTV News, who tagged along to the meal. "We had a good time; we talked about Twitter and Flappy Bird."

While this feast was meant to be something out of the ordinary just for his Mahomies — "I don't usually do this with my fans, so it's kind of cool every once in a while to take them out to dinner" — it was also a sweet V-Day treat for Austin as well.

"I usually sit alone in my room and cry," he joked. "No, for Valentine's Day I usually eat a lot of chocolate, watch some love movies maybe, I actually want to see 'Endless Love' in theaters, I'll probably see it tomorrow or something."

The prize came as a shock to 18-year-old Amber Fernendez, who originally planned on celebrating the holiday with her bestie (who she brought as her +1, by the way).

"I couldn't even ask for a better day, I don't think anything could top this honestly," she said. "We were just going to go to Chipotle ...

If two's a company and three's a crowd, some forgot to tell Kanye West. On Friday (February 14), Yeezy added a new verse and beat to Beyoncé and Jay Z's duet on the song's official remix.

The track, which premiered on AngieReview.com, starts with a foreign wail, and a slightly reworked instrumental before Kanye spews his X-rated thoughts and inner-most desires. "You will never need another lover/ 'Cause you a MILF and I'm a motherf---er," West starts in a line that may or may not be a reference to fiancée Kim Kardashian.

Yeezy continues to make a number of thinly veiled references to Kimmy. "If you aint on sight, you on skype/ I put you on a bike, you bound girl," he raps connecting the dots to his "Bound 2" music video, which featured himself and his bride-to-be simulating sex scenes while riding a motorcycle.

The proud beau also tosses in a few mentions of Kim's voluptuous backside. "Let me remind you, you got a great future behind you," he rhymes in a cheesy (but somehow charming) way.

Throughout his verse, Kanye gives us a private peak into his bedroom, taking cues from the Carters' original love fest. There are differences though. As an alternative to Beyoncé's favorite in-bathtub "surfboard" position, 'Ye adds his own touch. "That cowgirl, you reverse that cowgirl," he instructs his lady after reminding her: "I ain't a pastor/ Don't do missionary."

Vocally Bey and Jay's portions remain as they did in the song's original version, though West does play with the sequencing and adds cool ...
