It seems like Justin Bieber has decided to embrace the exact opposite of Drake’s “No New Friends” rule.

We recently found out that he’s working with Karl Lagerfeld, in Ibiza this summer he hung out with Kim and Kanye, he was rekindling things with Selena Gomez, and it seems like he’s also been getting closer with the Jenners.

So, after all that, maybe it’s not that surprising that today (October 3), Justin posted an Instagram of himself posing with not only Mick Jagger of The Rolling Stones… but also Lenny Kravitz.

He captioned the photo “Legends” when he posted it to his Twitter account.

Not totally sure what brought this holy trifecta together, but if there is a musical collaboration in the trio’s future count us IN.

Supposedly, the picture was taken at L’Arc in Paris, which makes sense because we already knew Bieber was there for Fashion Week. Related question: does this mean Mick Jagger has listened to some Justin Bieber songs? That’s a pretty funny image.

Taking selfies has progressed beyond a cute little habit that only some people participate in — it has become a national past time. From cameras that easily facilitate the process to the little bump of affirmation that a Facebook “like” or an Instagram heart on these miniature self-portraits provides, selfies are here to stay.

Which means that people are taking the concept and expanding it into social and political realms, op-eds and other projects, like Chicago comedian Bente Engelsoft, who decided to take a selfie every morning when she first woke up — no matter what.

On the Instagram account ijustwokeup — which Bente created before Beyonce dropped her album, believe it or not — she has posted a selfie with #nomakeup and #nofilter every single day for a year. Engelsoft told The Daily Dot that her goal was to emulate performance artists like Tracey Emin and Tehching Hsieh, both of whom both had similar projects that involved cataloging the passage of time.

She began the project with this selfie on October 2, 2013:

And as of today, October 3, 2014, she has officially completed her goal. Surprisingly, Bente came up with the project six years ago (!), but when Instagram became popular she realized it would be the perfect vehicle for her idea.

Over the course of the year, she posted photos with her boyfriend:

With her mom—which was her most-liked photo:

And even with friends:

Although Bente said she didn’t originally ...

When Sia’s “Chandelier” video came out earlier this year, the world put everything else on pause to watch 11-year-old Maddie Ziegler bring the emotion-ridden track to life.

Ever since then, the “Dance Moms” star’s moves have sparked parodies and remained a point of fascination for Sia fans. Hey, this video even arguably helped Sia score her first No. 1 album.

So when the choreographer for the dance, Ryan Heffington, released this video narrating how he came up with the concepts for Maddie’s performance, we were immediately hooked. Every move has a name! From the “Charlie Chaplin” to the “robot bird” and even “clean your mustache.”

Watch the clip below. Maybe with his careful tutorial, we can all recreate the dance routine — in the privacy of our own homes, of course. BRB, practicing the robot bird.

For a while, it looked like Wu-Tang Clan’s upcoming album, A Better Tomorrow, would be released without Raekwon’s participation, as the Shaolin MC was butting heads with fellow Clansman RZA.

Thankfully, the two were able to put their issues in the past, and now the whole gang is on board for the album, which will be released through Warner Bros. on December 2.

“We did have a hard time seeing eye-to-eye,” RZA admitted to MTV News on Thursday. “And it was more like two strong generals not coming to the table.”

“I got off my high horse and I said, I’m gonna come to your studio. I brought him the outline of the album, with songs done, and some energy of where we at. Him and Ghostface were there. Me, GZA and Masta Killa. And then they started playing some chess while me and Raekwon had a meeting and I played the structure of the album. I think, that day, he understood the vision.”

“From there, it’s been a positive growth. Business was one thing which we had to get over, and settled our business differences, but once our creative differences was understood — I recall playing one of the songs and he was like, ‘OK, I see what you doing. You’re going different, but the difference is something good.’”

The two have had a number of public spats in recent years, with the producer asking Rae to “forget the money,” and ...

They Didn’t Name Her Jackie
Newest celebrity dad Ashton Kutcher took to his website to reveal that his daughter’s name is Wyatt Isabelle Kutcher and also posted her photo…alongside five infant pictures and two baby animal photos. You semi-punk’d us, Ashton! He’s making us guess, so my gut is telling me it’s this one:

#FallSongs
5 Seconds of Summer sang fan-tweeted fall-themed lyrics about everything from flannels to pumpkin lattes to the tune of popular songs on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.” They performed to the melodies of Blink-182‘s “All The Small Things,” Jay Z‘s “99 Problems” and so much more.

Lady Gaga got a new tattoo paying homage to her fans – it’s a hand in her famous “paws up” gesture. She captioned the picure #Monster4Life. It’s more beautiful than scary.

Earlier today (October 2), A$AP Rocky promised that he’d be dropping something new at midnight, and obviously we hoped and assumed it’d be new music.

Like clockwork, the video for his new song “Multiply” dropped via his website flackojodyeseason.com and it does not disappoint.

Rocky and the rest of the A$AP mob dance through dark streets, fireworks and technicolor screens flashing surreal images. Juicy J also has a brief cameo during the clip’s intro.

Earlier in 2014, Rocky collaborated with more indie-leaning stars like Sam Smith and Lykke Li, but this video is back firmly in the realm of hip-hop.

Close listeners will remember that Rocky first performed this song at Coachella earlier this year—and that some of the lyrics seem to take shots at clothing brand BEEN TRILL.

If you’re only going to follow one pop star on Instagram, the obvious choice is Miley Cyrus. Her Instagram is a veritable haven of art projects that turn into art installations, new tour costumes and installations, childhood pictures of herself photoshopped into memes, and so so so much more.

So what’s her latest Instagram project?

Bath-selfies.

Seriously! She is probably about to spawn a whole copy cat movement with these gifs and darkly-lit bubble bath photographs that began on Tuesday (September 30). What will they be called? Bathelfies? Belfies? (Oh wait, never mind, that one is taken).

Whatever we call ‘em, here’s a brief recap of Miley’s new movement.

It all started with this face mask “romantic” selfie.

Miley apparently discovered her new-found love for bubble baths in an attempt to give herself some TLC, captioning this one as “getting romantic with myself.”

Then came this borderline-risque selfie.

Miley carefully arranged a few disco balls to make sure she stayed well within Instagram’s harshly enforced no-nipple policy. Little did we know this was just the beginning…

Miley learns to GIF!

Now we get Miley bein’ Miley, blowing bubbles and appearing in bath-time-GIF-form. Who took this photo? We may never know.

Another gif, even more bubbles.

This was where Miley let us know the approximate number of baths she takes on average: “I take a vagillion baths a day,” she captioned this one.

Bath time = photo shoot.

Quick question, how is she keeping her phone dry throughout these selfie sessions?? That takes true ...

Lady Gaga is into tattoos—we already know this.

She once got inked live at a perfume launch. Then there was the time back in 2010 when she commemorated the release of Born This Way with a unicorn tattoo. After that, came the artpop tattoo.

Earlier this summer, she even honored her brand new collaborator Tony Bennett by getting a trumpet tattoo prior to the release of their joint record Cheek To Cheek.

So the news that she’s got another piece of ink comes as no surprise, but the fact that it’s a delightful homage to her fans the Little Monsters is a new twist. It’s basically a claw—but on Gaga it looks elegant:

Just in time for the creepy vibes of Halloween, she got a red-tinged claw right along the side of her back. It’s a graceful—if chilling—new addition to her already ample collection of ink.

She shared the tattoo on Instagram and gave it the fitting caption: “#Monster4Life.”

Before sharing the finished piece, she also posted some pictures of the tattooing process:

And of the artist, Eric Gonzalez, drawing the piece:

Gonzalez also posted a photo of his pre-sketched tattoo before it became a reality:

Oh and while it may not be permanent, Gaga’s inky eyeliner game in this pic is also a work of art.

Never change Gaga.

The art of the parody is one that most people don’t grasp the delicacy of, but when done right, it can be used for both phenomenal commentary and hilarity.

Enter comedic genius Questlove and his sidekick “Captain” Kirk Douglas, who are happy to poke fun both at the predictable folk-stylings of ye olde Simon & Garfunkel and the new parody-spawning Taylor Swift single “Shake It Off.”

On “The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon” the dynamic duo interpolated “Shake It Off” with the chorus of Paul & Art’s iconic track “The Boxer”—the results are everything a parody should be.

Their somber sixties-inspired harmonies are accentuated by these serious-minded dance moves:

Honestly? Kirk’s turtleneck is right on the money for a Paul Simon look, and Questlove’s air cymbals are on point. Watch below:
