Was it all just a dream?

After DJ Khaled's shocking marriage proposal
 to Nicki Minaj nearly broke the Internet last week, Khaled dropped a new song on Monday that (kind of) cleared things up.

"I Wanna Be With You," features his alleged intended, Nicki, alongside Future and Rick Ross on a song that's scheduled for inclusion on Khaled's upcoming album, Suffering From Success.


Khaled's now legendary proposal on MTV offered a few clues that might have tipped off listeners to the fact that the ultimate hip-hop hype machine was doing his usual thing, including his use of a phrase describing why he and Minaj were perfect for each other: "We got the same symptoms, we're both suffering from success."

Minaj finally broke her silence on Monday while talking to Funkmaster Flex, putting a pin in the whole charade. "I was shocked just like the rest of the world and I was cracking up laughing with the rest of the world 'cause Khaled is a master at what he does," Minaj said, adding that she hasn't talked to Khaled about the gag yet.

"Nobody in my real life took it seriously. Everybody just hit me like, 'LOL. Yo, Khaled is crazy.' Khaled is my brother and Khaled was not serious with that damn proposal, ya'll," she said. "Please let it go. He was kidding. He's not attracted to me, he doesn't like me. We're brother and sister."

Minaj also blew up the stunt as a promotional gag to draw attention to the album. "It was just another way for him to ...

Ariana Grande has a big August ahead of her. is preparing to hit the road on not one but two tours. So we don't blame her if she's been banking some gym time to build up her stamina.

First, she'll join Justin Bieber on his Believe tour for three shows on August 7, 8 and 10. She told MTV News, "I'm rehearsing a lot. I'm working out a lot, trying to get my lungs, my breath support stronger. I'm training myself to work with in-ear [monitors], which is new for me because I've never worked with in-ears. I've always liked to sing with my natural ear. I bet you anything you're gonna see me pull my in-ears out every time I'm onstage, but it's OK.

"I'm training my voice to get used to singing every day because I took a long break from singing every single day because I was filming a TV show [Nickelodeon's "Sam & Cat"] so I was sort of not singing as much for a couple weeks," she continued. "Lots of vocal rest, lots of tea, lots of getting ready."

Once she wraps up her short stint with Bieber, she'll kick off her own headlining trek, The Listening Sessions. It begins on August 13 in Silver Spring, Maryland. She'll play nine cities in the U.S. throughout August, with the jaunt ending on August 31 in Kansas City, Missouri.

Robin Thicke went into the summer with an instant smash on his hands thanks to his buzzed-about single and video for "Blurred Lines."

Now he's ready for people to hear the other tracks he's cooked up for the July 30 album release of the same name, even if he's feeling some last-minute anxiety about sharing it with the world.

"One minute I'm very excited, the next I'm terribly nervous. Anytime you release your music or you put something out there that you care very deeply about, you know, you're always a little scared," he told MTV News. "But for the most part, I'm always excited to give people my new music."

This album is an eclectic array of funky R&B and groovy dance tracks slathered with Thicke's silky-smooth persona. He worked with A-listers like Timbaland, will.i.am, Pharrell, T.I., Kendrick Lamar and 2 Chainz on his follow-up to 2011's Love After War.

Despite some slightly naughty lyrics, some of which reference his bedroom prowess, he insists nothing on there should be too shocking to anyone — not even his dad, "Growing Pains" star Alan Thicke, who crafted the tune "Ain't No Hat 4 That" with his son.

"Well, I don't think there's as much unexpected [stuff] as it is the different styles of music that I always try to represent. I never try to be just one thing, or do one thing. I always try to mix up all different styles of music," he said. "And so I think sometimes people get surprised, like, 'Oh, this doesn't sound like that last song.' Well, this ...

Does Katy Perry have a new album coming out? According to a shiny, all-gold semi-truck, it may quite possibly be true.

Pal Adam Lambert tweeted out a photo of the semi, which spans the length of three whole buildings. The all-caps font on the sides reads "KATY PERRY · PRISM · 10.22.13."

MTV News has reached out to Perry's record label from confirmation, but hasn't heard back by press time.

In April, Billboard reported that the singer was halfway through her follow-up to 2010's Teenage Dream. Songwriters included on the album would be Max Martin, Sia, Dr. Luke, Greg Wells and Bonnie McKee, who co-wrote the new tune "Double Rainbow" with KP.

McKee is the self-proclaimed "soulmate" of Perry and told MTV News all about her friend's upcoming LP.

"I think it's a little bit more grown up and it's really interesting," McKee said. The pair had written "California Gurls," "Teenage Dream," "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" and "Part of Me" together.

"I'm really excited for the world to hear it because she's just... she's taking a new approach," McKee continued. "And I don't want to say too much about it, but it's definitely different. It's definitely a little more mature than the 'California Gurls' of yesterday."

Katy, who is covering Elle UK September issue, had told L'Uomo Vogue in June that her album would take inspiration from her personal life, which may include her divorce from comedian Russell Brand. She also said the "darker" album would be influenced by Madonna.

"I think Madonna, especially in the beginning of her career when she was laying ...

So what do you do when your husband's having a "moment" at work? Some wives bust out their laciest lingerie; others make reservations as a congratulatory gesture. But if you're Paula Patton and your other half is Robin Thicke, you make sure his sexy summer smash is on repeat — whenever you hit the gym.

"I love 'Blurred Lines'; I listen to it when I run on the treadmill all the time," Thicke's actress wife gushed to MTV News' Josh Horowitz during promo for the crime flick "2 Guns." "It's just ... it's just great," she added, seemingly on the verge of bursting at the seams with pride.

Though we kind of assumed the photogenic couple play the Pharrell Williams-produced track on private date nights, Thicke's place on wifey's playlist clearly counts for something. And that's especially so considering he had to earn his position on Patton's musical rotation, which includes hip-hop heavyweights like 2 Chainz, who she said helped her get into the "hardcore" headspace of the character she plays opposite Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg.

Now with the early reviews of Thicke's disco-tinged July 30 album, also titled Blurred Lines, coming out in praise of the "fast and sexy" collection, Patton had her own take: "I like too many songs to keep going." But she did oblige us eventually, revealing that a few of the LP's tracks are standouts.

"I have a lot of favorites — it would be hard to say one — but he has a song called '4 the Rest of My Life,' which ...

The boys of One Direction have been traveling the world for the better part of the year on their Take Me Home Tour, and they take their Directioners along for the ride through Twitter and Vine — especially Harry Styles.

Styles was Vine obsessed a while back but had taken a step back, only posting videos on occasion. This past week shows his resurgence, and it seems like he was just perfecting his Vine skills during the hiatus. See for yourself as MTV picks our favorite Harry Vines from this past week.

Creepy Doll
For those of you wondering if One Direction own their namesake action figures, they do. Well, at least Harry does. In one of his most recent Vine posts, Styles takes his own doll, strips it of its clothes (possibly to show off the doll's six-pack abs?) and quickly spins its head around "Exorcist"-style. The video ends with Harry showing off his killer smile as he places his head on top of his doll body.

Bunking Off
Harry gives us a glimpse inside the One Direction tour bus as he decides where he will lay his head for the night. Styles tries out each of the bunk beds and, with a wide smile, pokes his head out from behind the beds' curtains. When the bunk beds fail to win Styles over, he lies on the floor before trying out the closet.

Rock 'n' Roll Warm Up
Ever wonder how One Direction warms up before a big show? By singing opera, of course! Harry captured a shirtless Niall backstage hugging a fellow ...

More than two weeks after the tragic death of Cory Monteith, his girlfriend and "Glee" co-star Lea Michele has broken her silence, sharing a message of thanks to all of her fans on Twitter.

"Thank you all for helping me through this time with your enormous love & support," Michele tweeted on Monday (July 29). "Cory will forever be in my heart."

Along with the tweet, Michele, who began dating Monteith in early 2012, shared a personal photo of her and Monteith hugging on a beach.

This is the first time Michele has spoken publicly on Monteith, who died from a combination of heroin and alcohol on July 13. However, her representatives have released statements on her behalf expressing that she was "deeply grateful" for the love and support she has received and that she has been spending the past several weeks grieving alongside Monteith's family and friends.

recently spoke out about Michele, praising her for how she has been handling the unthinkable tragedy.

"I've never met any 26-year-old person stronger than Lea," Murphy told E! News, adding that she has handled Monteith's passing and the subsequent fallout with "humility and grace." Murphy explained that it was Michele's decision to get back to work on the show, which begins filming the fifth season in early August and will pay homage to Monteith during the season's third episode before going on an extended leave.

The cast of "Glee" has continued to show its outpouring of love for the late star, with co-star Mike O'Malley most recently calling him a "very ...
