“Community” fans rejoice: The first teaser for the sixth season is here, and it’s epic. Pop! Pop!

When NBC didn’t renew the show and the #sixseasonsandamovie social push for the cult favorite didn’t pan out, Yahoo! came in and saved the day. As you will see in the trailer, Yahoo! wants you to know that “Community” was dead, and they brought it back to life.

In the most serious saga-esque voiceover, the tease will get you so pumped you’ll be doing Troy and Abed’s handshake with everyone around you instantly:

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the technology.
We have the capability to make the worlds first bionic show.
Community will be that show.
Better than it was before.
Better.
Stronger.
Faster.

Oh. Yes.

Did you need the reminder? I’m sure you didn’t. But in case you did, here it is again: Chris Brown and Usher can dance their asses off.

The latest proof comes in the form of the video for “New Flame,” the latest single off of Breezy’s upcoming album X, due out in September. For the visuals, it’s an all-white party, of sorts, with the two R&B stars looking crisp as they dance across scenes from the beach to CB’s weird little one man island to Ush’s steps to nowhere. And a shirtless Rick Ross joins the festivities for his verse, but sadly doesn’t moonwalk, or do anything of the sort (he’s actually sitting in a chair the whole time — boss sh–).

It’s been a busy Thursday (August 14) for Brown, who also announced a tour with Trey Songz in a string of posts on social media. Though details are scarce — a name, dates, anything, really — the fellas have been having fun on Instagram, exchanging a few videos. Also, according to Trey, they have an unreleased song together.

We’ll take that whenever you’re ready, guys.

X drops September 16.

Never one to shy away from discussions of race, race relations, or racial identity politics (listen to “Hold You Down” for a brief primer), Childish Gambino again tackled some weighty issues early Thursday morning (August 14). This time, his method was poetry, and his medium was Twitter.

Donald posted a lengthy string of tweets, touching on an array of subjects, from white privilege to the music industry to the public’s perception of young black males. He tweeted that he wrote the poem “after hearing a friend sobbing and after talking with my mom.”

And though he didn’t explicitly say so, the piece seems to be inspired, at least in some way, by the recent death of 18-year-old Mike Brown, who was shot and killed by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri over the weekend, as well as the subsequent reactions — of the public, police, and media — to the tragic incident. He also is critical of “twitter activism,” potentially a response to hashtags, such as #IfTheyGunnedMeDown, which have become popular in the aftermath of the shooting.

Read the poem below:

“childish gambino is a white rapper”
i wanna be a white rapper.
i wanna be so white im the biggest rapper of all time.
i wanna be so white i can have a number one song with cursing and parents are fine with it.
i wanna be so white and so big i get eat dinner with the koch brothers.
i hope I’m so big ...

After two weeks in the theaters, everyone on earth has already seen “Guardians Of The Galaxy” and spotted the immortal Stan Lee. Mr. Lee is well-known for his cameos in all of the Marvel Studios movies, but what you didn’t know is how difficult it can be for directors to capture those brief moments of genius on screen.

After serving over six years in prison, Remy Ma was released in early August.

When she came home, there were a number of things that she was excited to do: See her family, get in the studio, and enjoy some of life’s luxuries — like her first meal.

“What’s so crazy, the first thing that I ate was Popeyes,” Remy said, with a laugh, during a recent visit to “Sway in the Morning. “It’s sad. Because I love Popeyes, and that’s all I really wanted.”

If you’ve ever been inside and a Popeye’s and enjoyed a simple waft of those fried flavors — let alone tried them — you can understand Remy’s decision. No, it’s likely not the most gourmet meal she had available to her, nor the healthiest, but why not satisfy that craving after all these years?

It wasn’t all jokes during her lengthy sit-down, though. The Bronx native also spoke on how being imprisoned can really break someone’s mind and spirit.

“Some people say, ‘Oh, you’re institutionalized’; it’s not that,” the 34-year-old said. “Being incarcerated, and for a lengthy time period, it takes a toll on everything. You’re constantly depressed. You’re constantly stressed. You’re constantly watching your back. It’s sometimes where people who never had mental problems in their lives, they got on OMH meds, mental health meds, and when they reintegrate into society, they can’t adapt anymore because they’ve been sheltered for so long.

“I really believe that some people come home from prison, and they are ...

For Dillon Francis, there is no better time to make huge career choices than when he is in the shower. His debut album, Money Sucks, Friends Rule, found its name from a fleeting mid-wash thought.

Friendship is important to the 26-year-old DJ/producer, and he tells MTV News that most of his “go-to-bros” are fellow producers and artists.

“Porter Robinson, I think I talk to him every week…just about everything in the world, about life, just being you know, an insane DJ that rants to him,” he said. “Teed, Calvin Harris, Diplo…And then Madeon.”

His buddies also weigh in on his music, offering advice, and sometimes, words of caution — especially from Porter Robinson and Madeon. “They tell me the truth, like don’t… play that,” Dillon laughed.

Money Sucks, Friends Rule is set to drop October 28 on Mad Decent, featuring the likes of Diplo, Lil Jon, Brandon Urie and many more.

Miley Cyrus has a hell of a story, and now, we’re going to see it in print.

The pop superstar is getting her own comic book, as part of Bluewater Productions’ Fame series, set for release this week.

The story starts, naturally, with her history-making performance at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards. Ya know, the one when she violated Robin Thicke for all the world to see. From there, it looks back at her upbringing in Tennessee and her journey from “Hannah Montana” to the irreverent, hotdog-riding star that she is today.

Fame: Miley Cyrus, written by Michael L. Frizell and drawn by Juan Luis Rincón, will be available in both print and digital formats.

“I wanted to do something different with this story,” Frizell said in a press release on Thursday (August 14). “Miley is tabloid fodder, but why? Many childhood stars have remade themselves. Sadly, many female artists tend to go the ‘sex kitten’ route to prove they’re adults and worthy of a legit career. All musicians need to remake themselves to stay relevant.”

He continued: “Christina Aguilera managed the transition successfully, but I think many people were expecting Miley to go the way of Brittney Spears and totally melt down in public. Thus, I thought it would be interesting to have the adult Miley confront her childhood and perhaps coax us to understand the reasoning behind her artistic choices. It remains to be seen whether she’ll be seen as more than a ...

It’s pretty obvious that having details about your private life bared to the public can be difficult, but some artists like T.I. seem to have a pretty good grip on that. The Atlanta rapper puts his family life on display on the VH1 reality show “T.I. and Tiny: The Family Hustle,” but a new single from his wife really had us scratching our heads for a second.

On “What the F— You Gon Do?” the former XScape singer croons about an absent lover, and the video really furthered that storyline. She uses a scene from the intro of “Family Hustle” where she and T.I. are lying in bed, but eventually the man next to her fades out. Was this a public shot at her husband? And what was T.I.’s reaction?

“No reaction,” T.I. told MTV News, before adding, “Comedy.” Clearly he didn’t want to go in-depth about this one.

Did Tiny at least run this by him before release? “Nah, she asked me and I said, ‘nah I don’t wanna, I’ll wait [to see it] with the rest of the public.”

Always the diplomat, he went on to add, “I mean…I’ve been hearing very very good things about it, [from] people in the community, just saying that it’s a lot better than the stuff they’ve been hearing lately — so that’s good.”

“[Tiny] kinda has her own ideas about business so I stay out of it. She’s just beginning her spinoff TV show with the hairdresser.”

Well played, Tip.

If you’ve seen Iggy Azalea’s “Black Widow” video with Rita Ora, you know that there’s some big hullaballo about Iggy’s BLTs. First, the bad guy wants cheese, then doesn’t? What is that?

Anyway, if you don’t know what I’m talking about, I suggest you watch the video before continuing.

OK, so what’s the big deal about these Big Wanda’s BLTs? For answers, I searched deep within the lyrics of Iggy’s other hit, “Fancy,” which is nominated for Video of the Year at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards. Here’s how to construct a sandwich Azalea style:

First thing’s first, use the realest
ingredients possible. Check your local farmer’s market for some organic bacon.

Drop this BLT and let Michael Madsen eat it
And Rita Ora too.

If you’re in the Murda Bizness
then you should probably back away from that lettuce.

Slice the tomato like you’re teaching lessons in physics
Not too thin and not too thick.

You want the lettuce like this?
Repeatedly chop it until you get small, bite-sized pieces.

Cook it on low and pick it up like this
With a fork, not with your fingers.

Cup of bacon, cup of lettuce, cup of tomato
Equal measurements are key.

High-calorie, somethin’ worth a half a block of cheese
Iggy likes to add half a block of cheese, but that just doesn’t fly with her boss.

So yeah, that’s how you make an Iggy Azalea BLT. Time to celebrate!
