Sorry, motivational “hang in there” cat posters of the world, but Kelly Rowland’s new gloriously pregnant photo spread is the only motivation this world needs now.

The gorgeous, goddess-level pictures were shot by Lane Gross for Elle magazine, and in the accompanying interview, the “Dirty Laundry” singer shares how “Godmazing” it is “watching your body carry a human.”

Rowland also reveals that she “can’t wait” to be a mom. “I just have a couple more weeks. I’m excited to bring a child into the world, and sharing that experience with my husband [Tim Witherspoon] is probably the most beautiful part.”

Speaking of beautiful things, the 33-year-old performer lists some of the food cravings she’s been stricken with during her pregnancy: “I love cherry pie and chocolate ice cream with peanut butter mixed in it. And I had a week straight where I was obsessed with nachos.” Wait, a week obsessed with nachos? Oh my god, you guys, I think I might be pregnant.

Oh, and maybe you’ve heard those rumors that Rowland is “campaigning to play Donna Summer” in a future biopic, and that that’s why she Instagrammed a very Summer-esque photo recently?

Well, Kelly tells Elle (say that five times fast) that the doppel moment was just for fun. Although, she does add that playing the Queen of Disco “would be an amazing opportunity.”

So, you’re telling ...

A Drake and Wu-Tang Clan collaboration seemed inevitable when Drizzy dropped “Wu-Tang Forever,” a track off of last year’s Nothing Was The Same. And for a while, it looked like the Shaolin squad were set to appear on the remix, but it never materialized.

“We had got the call, and said, ‘Yo, let’s take a session in the studio and see if we can go in for the young brother,’” RZA told MTV News, saying that they were on tour in Europe when they recorded their parts.

“When I talked to him, he wanted, I think, me and Rae to go in, but for whatever reasons it never happened,” Ghostface added, providing little clarity on the situation.

But U-God’s take — that the content of their rhymes didn’t fit with his — could provide the explanation.

“I guess we came too hard for him; he wanted us to talk about broads,” he said. “We had to write it real fast. No lie, I probably had about six hours to write this thing. At the time, I wasn’t feeling woman-y — I was feeling hard as nails. So, I wrote him a hard as nail rhyme, and we was talking about something totally different, so the subject matter didn’t really mesh.”

Last year, during an episode of “RapFix Live,” Cappadonna said that the team was mostly finished recording their verses.

“Meth did lay a joint, but then he didn’t want to do that one, so he took that ...

This past weekend, the Ole Miss Rebels played against their longtime Southeastern Conference rivals, the Alabama Crimson Tide, and if you’re anything like me that roughly translates to “SOMETHING SOMETHING SPORTS IDK.” Yet thanks to surprise celebrity guest Katy Perry, I finally feel like I have a handle on college football.

If the “This Is How We Do” singer proved anything on Saturday, it’s that you don’t have to understand stats or players to enjoy the experience. Just come with a good attitude — and an openness to beer-chugging, corn dog-chucking and crowd-surfing — and you’ll have a good time. That lesson applies to most things in life tbh.

First, Katy popped by ESPN’s “College GameDay.”

Which means she got to do this with a corn dog on live TV.

And this.

And thiiiiiiiiis.

Then Ms. Perry kicked it with the Lucky Lady Rebelettes.

And cheered on the team during the big game.

“YAS REBELS YAS YOU LOOK SO GOOD OMG YAS.”

Ole Miss won, btw. 23 to 17.

How did Katy celebrate? By chugging a beer and diving off the counter at a local bar.

Oh yeah, and since she was in the South, she got to eat all that duh-liiiiiiicious southern food.

Greetings from another time.

That’s right, MTV News has traveled through a wormhole on a detachable pod in the Endurance spacecraft, witnessing both the marvels of modern space travel and an overpowering sense of curiosity about what the heck director Christopher Nolan’s “Interstellar” is actually going to be about.

All this, without even leaving a padded armchair in the lobby of New York City’s Lincoln Square.

Ahead of the November 7 wide release of the film, a traveling exhibit of the Oculus Rift Development Kit 2, showcasing the “Interstellar” experience, will make stops in New York City (Oct. 6-8), Houston (Oct. 17-19), Los Angeles (Oct. 25-27) and Chantilly, Virginia (Nov. 5-19). Fans will be able to take their turn exploring the Endurance, just like we did today. Even Nolan has tried the virtual reality trip and been wowed.

“I was impressed with how the experience is able to put you in the cockpit of ‘Interstellar’s’ spaceship, the Endurance,” he said in a release. “It was just like being back on set.”

To begin the experience, a person just has to settle into a cushy maroon armchair and relax, placing a chunky virtual reality headset over their faces. Headphones complete the combo, and the experience begins.

Kase Wickman

Mike Woods, head of digital at Framestore, which developed the experience, told MTV News that the idea behind the “Interstellar” experience was more of “a real honest, organic visceral experience. Things we’ve done before have been about vertigo, a panic-inducing screamfest. This ...

As anyone reading this probably already knows, when it comes to “The Originals” (and the show that spawned it, “The Vampire Diaries“) it’s all about the shipping. Between the original series’ Delena/Stelana rivalry to the newcomer’s Haylijah/Klayley bash and the ever-present Klaroline crossover hopefuls, it’s like the Wild Wild West out there in shipper-land.

However, according to Klaus himself, Joseph Morgan, when “The Originals” returns for its second season on Monday (October 6) he shouldn’t necessarily be looking to settle down with anyone — because the ancient vampire still hasn’t acquired the tools he needs to master his OTP.

“He’s very jealous,” Morgan told MTV News over the phone. “He’s not desiring a love interest specifically, but he wants to be the center of attention. That’s why he hates when Elijah and Rebekah are conspiring, and he hates if Elijah and Hayley are together, because that’s Elijah playing surrogate father to his child. Even though he doesn’t want to be there, he doesn’t want Elijah to be there [either]. He wants everybody to be focused on him, but he lacks the emotional tools to form healthy relationships with any of these people, so they’re drawn to each other instead.”

The CW

Morgan also said that Klaus has “the nature of a loner” and that he manages to destroy every relationship he’s ever had, which is why, during the premiere, we’ll see a Klaus that is barely even speaking to his brother Elijah (Daniel Gillies) and his baby’s ...

A great way to get your beloved band to play your hometown is by starting a Kickstarter to raise to bring them around. It’s worked wonders before; Inspired by a group of Foo Fighter fans who started a Kickstarter to bring the band to Richmond, Va., a bunch of fans in Birmingham, England, have raised nearly $90,000 in a bid to get a Foo Fighters show in their town, too.

But a Kickstarter aimed at getting a band to avoid your local arena? That’s the goal of the “Don’t Let Nickel Back,” a Kickstarter with a mission, and that mission is to make sure the Canadian rockers never set foot in jolly old London again.

Rude, right?

“We are attempting to ensure that Canadian ‘rockers’ Nickelback do not come to London, England to play a gig,” reads the plea from the founder, who’s looking for $1,000 for his campaign. “With your help, we can ensure that the band do not schedule any gigs here, do not attempt to come here – nor even phone here … Just imagine, thousands – perhaps tens of thousands of music lovers – all not witnessing an exclusive concert by Nickelback in London. It will be glorious. Legendary. Dare we say, game changing?”

So far, 24 people have donated a total of $127, with a minimum donation of $1 ensuring that your action will result in an email, “written on your behalf, to the management of Nickelback, kindly requesting that they do not ...

This December, Sisqo will complete his long-awaited album trilogy with his final installment, Last Dragon. As you may have picked up from his album titles, jewelry choices or profile on instagram, dragons are very important to the “Thong Song” singer, and this last album got us wondering. What’s the deal?

According to Sisqo, his interest in the fire-breathing reptiles goes much deeper than you might think. He and his son are both born in the Chinese year of the dragon, his 1999 hit album Unleash the Dragon was released in the year of the dragon, and when he was first being signed to his label he stumbled across a Dragon chain in Chinatown, and hasn’t taken it off since. It has gotten to the point that fans call HIM dragon. (It’s worth mentioning that not all of the dragon omens Sisqo mentioned matched up with the zodiac calendar MTV News checked, but why argue a man’s devotion to dragons?)

And although we would never doubt his dedication to the species, we were a little curious to see how well Sisqo was keeping up with the many dragons in pop culture. These days, there are lots to choose from, so we decided to put the singer to the test — literally.

Watch Sisqo take our Dragon quiz (spoiler: he NAILS it).

His newest single “A-list,” featuring Waka Flocka Flame, is out now. Last Dragon will be released December 9.

Have you ever wanted to see how Lady Gaga gets in and out of all of those amazeballs outfits during her ArtRave tour? Well, you’re in luck. Mother Monster gifted us, her little monsters, with video No. 46 from her Gagavision video series, and it does exactly that. Entitled “The Lady Is A Gaga,” and set to the tune of “Cheek To Cheek,” (from Gaga’s recently released jazz album of the same name), the clip features the “Guy” singer in a series of quick changes behind and below stage. Some highlights of the video include seeing her bop around on stage in a polka-dotted Yayoi Kusama-channeling tentacle costume, some seriously awkward and up-close makeup touchups, and a sweet vintage Motley Crue tee. Props to that, Gags.

If it seems like DC Comics is taking over television these days, it’s because they kind of are. Between the series currently airing and the potential future ones still being developed, somewhat fantastical dramas about men and women doing extraordinary things are sweeping through homes of fanboys, fangirls, and casual comic book fans alike. The next one to premiere, but one that has been buzzed about for a year already, is “The Flash,” the origin story of Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) – a man who develops super speed after a freak incident involving a lightning storm and a particle accelerator.

Earlier today, MTV News and a few other select outlets sat down with select stars and executive producers behind “The Flash” to screen the pilot, and learn what to expect in this forthcoming first season. Read on for all of the juicy spoilers!

1. Flash Begins

Warner Bros.

“We experience the show through Grant—through Barry. Who people are, what they seem, we’re learning that as he’s learning that,” executive producer Andrew Kreisberg said. “It’s Flash begins: everybody’s starting out.”

When the pilot of “The Flash” opens, the audience is introduced to the key players in Barry’s world from before he was “changed.” We meet his father who is in prison for supposedly killing his mother; we meet his adoptive father; we meet his childhood best friend; we meet his co-workers and confidantes in his change. Though the pilot is very much Barry’s story, showing ...

When Lacey Hamilton urged her daughter Jenna to consider breast enhancement surgery on Season 1 of “Awkward,” we knew we weren’t dealing with typical moms and dads. But even with that scale considered, the parents of Palos Hills shocked us on last week’s episode.

On a New Year’s Eve that found high school seniors Jenna and Matty behaving tamely, their parents — and a number of other grown-ups — were acting as if they’d never left the frat row from whence they came. Between trysts with strippers, robbing the cradle and drinks, drinks, drinks, the 30-plus crowd really brought the heat at Aunt Ally’s house.

Few were left standing by the time midnight finally rolled around, but whose NYE was the most shameful? Look back at the five greatest offenders below, take our poll and tune in to the next “Awkward” episode tomorrow night at 10/9c!

Lissa’s mom:

After Lissa confessed her secret — that she was in love with her sort-of brother Tyler — she caught flak from her uber-conservative mother, who was sure Lissa would soon face the wrath of God. *RECORD SCRATCH* Wasn’t it you who first flirted with your pseudo-son, lady? And isn’t it you who continued to do so through many of glasses of Pinot? Maybe avoiding hypocrisy should top your list of resolutions…

Lissa’s dad:

He’s married to the woman above, and he hooked up with male stripper?! Plus, he had the nerve to judge ...
