Former Stone Temple Pilots singer Scott Weiland has been in a California jail for four weeks and, somehow, we’re just now finding out about it. According to a spokesperson for the Beverly Hills Police Department the singer with a history of substance abuse issues was arrested last month after he allegedly stole razors and other cosmetic items from a Rite-Aid in Beverly Hills.

When police caught up with him, they found methamphetamine and charged Weiland, 46, with felony possession of a controlled substance. He was also charged with burglary rather than theft because police found an “insulated” bag on him which prevents theft censors from going off.

The singer is still in jail on $95,000 bond.

Weiland was booted out of STP last May and filed a $7 million suit against his former bandmates. His solo band, the Wildabouts, are slated to play a show at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, Connecticut, on August 29. At press time, that date and others in September and October are still listed as active.

Wiz Khalifa is having an eventful week. On Tuesday, the Taylor Gang captain dropped his Blacc Hollywood album and on Sunday, August 24, at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards Khalifa will find out if he wins the Best Hip-Hop Video award for “We Dem Boys.” So you can imagine how pumped he is.

We caught up with Wiz and quizzed him on his favorite VMA moments, which included Miley Cyrus, Eminem and Madonna. Who Knew?

From Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez (Jelena!) to Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake (Pinky and Stinky!), the MTV Video Music Awards have seen some major, adorably nicknamed celebrity couples cross its red carpet over the years.

Unfortunately for many of these pairs — and the world in general — a lot of these relationships ended soon after they were made VMA-official. But, lucky for us, we have the pictures to prove that their love was once very, very real. So grab the nearest box of Kleenex, and let’s take a look back at the 21 most memorable, fashionable and questionable couples of VMA past.

1. Brad Pitt & Christina Applegate, 1989

This was apparently one of their first, and last, dates.

2. Robert Downey, Jr. & Sarah Jessica Parker, 1990

They were one of the hottest couples of the ’80s, but split in 1991 after seven years of dating.

3. Marilyn Manson & Rose McGowan, 1998

Thank you, relationship gods, for bringing these two together — if only for Rose’s iconic mesh ensemble that will forever be burned into our brains.

4. Tommy Lee & Pamela Anderson, 1999

This fluffy cat got Ariana Grande‘s album before me? What the heck!

While the rest of the world is waiting for My Everything, out on Monday after the VMAs on Sunday, “dis kitty” got his furry lil’ paws on the compact disc. Oh well, at least I can stream four of the songs off the album until then.

Nicki Minaj has a ton of sex appeal, but knowing when to use it is key.

Earlier this week, the Young Money hit-maker made jaws drop when she showed off all of her goodies in her “Anaconda” video, but Nicki made sure she covered up for Juicy J’s “Low,” which hit the Internet on Thursday (August 21).

For the video, Juice paired Ms. Minaj with Lil Bibby. While there is plenty of eye candy, the only thing Nicki puts on display are her killer rhymes.

“I ain’t never had a beat that a bitch ain’t rip/ I’m fly everyday, but a bitch ain’t trippin’,” she spits wearing a long black dress.

We’re sure Nicki is just giving us a moment to catch our breath before she performs at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, August 24.

Congratulations, Pete Wentz, now there’s a Saint in the house.

That’s right, the former Fall Out Bassist and model girlfriend Meagan Camper welcomed a son, Saint Lazslo, into their lives Wednesday in Los Angeles.

The couple, who have been dating for three years, chose to wait until their bundle of joy was born to learn the baby’s sex.

“Mom and baby are happy and healthy,” Wentz’s rep told People. “They are thrilled at the addition to the family and Bronx is over the moon to be a big brother.”

Bronx is Wentz’s 5-year old son from his previous marriage to Ashlee Simpson. Wentz and Camper, who had always intended to start a family together, threw a very chic baby shower back in May.

“What’s more exciting than having the pitter-patter of another little gremlin running around,” Wentz said. “Now it will be two-on-two.”

Congratulations, Pete and Meagan!

If you weren’t around or paying attention to the VMAs in 2000, we’re sorry. You missed a lot of really famous people letting it all hang out, flipping off the camera, climbing the set, wearing colors bright enough to burn your retinas. Apparently nothing was off-limits in the early 21st century. Not even strict violations of good taste.

Hey, we’ve all made an odd choice or two in our lives that will live on forever in photographic form, and these artists are no different. This isn’t Snapchat or #ThrowbackThursday — this is permanent MTV history. So let’s review.

1. Dwayne Johnson looked like an Academy Award. Before he made everyone use his real name, The Rock stunted in an all-gold-everything outfit that even MC Hammer couldn’t touch.

2. Moby looked like the devil. Quick! Splash him with holy water!

3. So did Lil’ Kim. Yeah, we can’t imagine Moby wearing this.

4. Christina Aguilera performed with Fred Durst. Two icons. Two musical styles. One of the trippiest duets in history.

5. Chris Rock embraced his pimp phase. Also, Anthony Kiedis from the Red Hot Chili Peppers embraced his shirtless phase (or, wait — is he still in that phase?).

Joe Budden is being accused of a pretty heinous crime, but the rapper is denying any wrongdoing on Twitter.

On Thursday (August 21) TMZ reported that the Slaughterhouse MC beat his girlfriend in a jealous rage. According to the site, Budden dragged the woman out of a New York City restaurant after he saw her in pictures with other men. He reportedly choked her and slammed her head into the dashboard of his car before driving her to his New Jersey home where the beating continued.

Shortly after the story was posted, Budden denied the attack when responding to his followers on Twitter. “@JoeBudden wtf, why is audely lying? She really that angry after you left her, smh,” one user asked before Joe responded: “or needs the attention. Honestly I’m not sure.”

“my n—a @joebudden beat his gf smhhh he still my n—a doe lmfao,” wrote @carla_roseee, prompting Budden to respond: “no Joey did NOT !”

He later tweeted that the allegations “couldn’t be further from the truth.”

Earlier in the day he sent a tweet about messy break-ups.

A representative for Joe Budden declined to give MTV News a comment.

The Weeknd has booked a hotel room for many in his latest video for “Often.”

The “Lost In Translation”-esque clip finds the Toronto singer laid up in a 5-star suite with a bevy of models in various stages of undress.

As the melancholy Caligula croons about sex, a parade of women make out on the bed, walk around naked or adjourn to the back room for some private time.

In the waning moments, one of them meets the Kiss Land singer at the bed before the camera fades out.
