The last video from Jon Bellion, “Simple and Sweet,” which dropped last month, was a cinematic experience for the viewer — the singer bounces between belting his song in the snow and backed by fire light. His latest visual, “Carry Your Throne,” is equally aesthetically gripping.

Set in sort of desolate forest, there’s a fight — presumably for love — with a bit of a medieval vibe.

“The record was produced and recorded in an actual castle cathedral in France,” the singer told Complex. “Live orchestration and all. Me and award-winning country producer Chris DeStefano looked at each other after the final playback and just hysterically laughed for about an hour. We knew how progressive and incredible this sh– was.”

This is the third single from his upcoming album, The Definition, which drops on September 23.

The Visionary Music Group signee is also heading out on The Beautiful Mind Tour beginning in October.

You thought that furry creatures were the only ones who could cuddle, play and eagerly greet humans? Well Nova, an Australian radio station, posted a video of an eel on their Facebook page that proves sea creatures can be just as playful and loveable as their terrestrial counterparts.

In fact, you can even argue that this eel is cuter than most dogs and cuts (or sheep, goats, etc) because the diver talks about how she had to earn its trust before it would come out and play. Awww.

And even with a three-year-gap in between some visits, the eel still remembered her! A discerning, cuddly eel with a memory! Now I’ve seen everything.

Watch the underwater adorableness below. And remember, this is a professional diver who knows how to deal with critters—we do not advise cuddling up to the closest amphibian you see. But this is a Moray eel and it is definitely friendly, so let’s just live vicariously through the diver.

If you’re anything like us, your favorite part of New York Fashion Week is seeing what Rihanna is wearing. If you’re even more like us, than you know you’ll want a place where you can look at all of Rihanna’s NYFW ~lewks~ without much work. Below you’ll find every look Rih work throughout the past week. (No need to thank us–we’re just sharing something we’d probably compile anyway.)

Is that Wilma Flintsone? No, it’s just Rihanna at Adam Selman’s show wearing a white, flouncy baby doll dress from the designer’s SS15 collection with Christian Louboutin pumps. If the name sounds familiar it’s because he’s the one who created with Rih’s crystal-studded “naked” CFDA dress, collaborated with her on River Island and dresses her on tour.

Here, Rihanna is stuntin’ on us in an Alexander Wang navy (Navy!) jacket, shoes and bucket hat with Lynn Ban necklace and rings at Wang’s Spring 2015 show. She was joined in the front row by Nicki Minaj, Miguel, and, like, 100 other cool people.

At the Altuzarra show, Rih’s cleavage almost entirely distracted from the fact that she wasn’t wearing any pants. While the fringed blazer was originally shown with pants underneath–like a suit, if you will–Rih ditched ...

Have you had enough of “Shake it Off” in your life? No? OK, good. Glad I’m not alone there. Taylor Swift released the third episode of her “Outtakes” series and this time around we get to giggle at her modern dance technique.

The angst-driven dance segment takes a twist from the Awkward cheerleader hops and the “Mom and Dad” moves Tay busted out amidst her poised, professional ballet dancers.

Swift also reveals how exhausted she was while shooting the video, apparently, she could barely maintain her energy level between takes and was even nodding off during her breaks.

“There’s been so much cardio to, like, wear me out,” she said. “We do several takes of each full pass at the song, and the whole time I’m full-out and the dancers around me are all full-out and so we’re all pretty wiped out. And then they get to go home, and I move on to the next style of dance,” the singer says.

The modern dancers weren’t all about the angst though. Director Mark Romanek asks the group to try “expressing what you’re actually hearing” and absolute hilarity ensues:

Although “The Maze Runner” doesn’t hit theaters until September 19, we’ve got something to tide you over.

The soundtrack for the entire movie is debuting exclusively with MTV, so you can get a sense of the dramatic twists and turns that will haunt Dylan O’Brien and co. as they attempt to find their way through the daunting maze in the film.

The music was composed by John Paesano and spans twenty-one track names that definitely correspond with different sections of the film. With song names like “Banishment,” “Into The Maze” and “Trapped,” fans can guess which part of the plot certain songs will accompany.

Stream the whole thing below, and don’t forget to check out our Million Dollar Maze Runner show that premieres this Sunday (September 14). You can even get to know the teams. Maybe some of them will be listening to the soundtrack to get pumped up? Might be a good call.

Listen to the soundtrack below.

This just in: Tonight during Beyonce’s final On The Run Tour show in Paris, Nicki Minaj (surprisingly!) joined Bey onstage to perform their “Flawless” remix in—GASP—coordinating Versace ensembles. Goddamn, goddamn, goddamn!

Even though not many pics of the duo have surfaced yet, Insta queen Nicki Minajesty posted a photo of herself and Queen B sporting super graphic onesies. Bey paired her custom-made Atelier Versace leotard with a Trojan-style helmet and her signature wind-blown hair.

Nicki shared a pic of her full look, which was a skin-tight printed jumpsuit with cut-outs across the chest. Her caption said, “Walking to the stage. VERSACE suit and shoes. Thank you Donatella.”

In a closer shot, we get to peep her super sleek beauty game: a high pony, shimmery bronze lids, light pink lips and killer contouring.

Finally, Nicki posted a photo of her and Beyonce together saying, “The QUEEN, could never thank you enough.” Um, ditto times a million, girl.

After dropping very little new music in 2014, Big Sean returned with a vengeance on Friday (September 12) with four new songs. One of those records was “I Don’t F–k With You,” a track that’s both catchy and exhibits the rapper’s nimble wordplay — and also sounds a lot like a breakup song, following his broken engagement with Naya Rivera.

But Sean says he was actually in a relationship — presumably with Naya — when he wrote the track.

“I wasn’t angry, man,” the Detroit native told MTV News of the DJ Mustard, Kanye West and DJ Dahi-produced banger. “You know, the funny thing about ‘I Don’t F–k With You’ is that I actually wrote that while I was in a relationship. I wasn’t bitter. I wrote that while I was with my ex.”

Still, he admits it may have taken a new form in the time since — which makes sense, given lines like, “And everyday I wake up celebrating, sh–, why?/ ‘Cause I just dodged a bullet from a crazy bitch.”

“Then, obviously, after a few things went down, I went back and changed a couple words — but, mainly, the song was already there,” he said. “It’s funny how things play out.”

And the MC, newly-aligned with Roc Nation, feels like the track’s content — which touches on issues like moving on from a past relationship — is something anyone can relate to.

“It’s just real, man. I feel it’s ...

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.

Sure, there’s obviously a reason they make their livings making photos beautiful and adapting to whatever concept is thrown their way, but you don’t (or at least I didn’t) fully comprehend just HOW good these ladies and gents are at their jobs until we put them on the spot, shoving a camera in their faces and giving them ridiculous posing prompts.
