DOVER, Delaware — Andre 3000 has discovered the answer for world peace: short shorts.

When Outkast invited a handful of ladies onstage to “shake it like a Polaroid picture” during “Hey Ya!” on Saturday night at the Firefly Festival, Andre couldn’t help admiring their summertime fashion choices: “Whoever made these shorts should get a Nobel Peace Prize,” he exclaimed.

The ATLiens have been roaring their way through a jam-packed summer of festivals on their reunion tour, which began with Coachella in April and has also included Governors Ball and the Hangout Festival. They will also co-headline Drake’s OVO Festival in August. And just a few days ago, three homecoming shows at Atlanta’s Centennial Olympic Park were scheduled for late September.

Reviews from the first few shows of the reunion, after nearly a decade apart for the duo, were shaky, but the boys seem to have hit their stride at Firefly, now about a dozen appearances into their 40-plus run.

Outkast exuded confidence and engaged the crowd often as they made their way through the now tried-and-true setlist of their most popular hits — including “The Way You Move,” “Rosa Parks,” “Roses” and “So Fresh, So Clean” — and unexpected fan favorites, such as “Skew It on the Bar-B.” They “turned it back to day one” with “Hootie Hoo,” from their 1994 debut album, Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik.

If you haven’t seen the finale episode of “Orphan Black” season two, stop reading now – unless you like spoilers!

Last night’s “Orphan Black” season two finale went out with an appropriately shocking bang, as any card-carrying member of the Clone Club would’ve expected.

We had a slew of burning questions going into the episode, but we weren’t even close to guessing the big Project Castor twist. EW gleaned all the post-finale details from “Orphan Black” creators John Fawcett and Graeme Manson – here are some of our favorite nuggets from the chat.

Ari Millen’s (aka: Prolethean Mark) acting skills saved him from death and nabbed him the extended gig.

Fawcett explained, “…Ari Millen is a really talented guy and he’s someone that we had brought in as this new Prolethean character, and we had planned to kill him in episode 6. And after he did some significantly great work for us in the early get-going of the season we started to focus our eyes on him as very strong potential for our male clone, and that’s kind of how that happened.”

Millen knew about as much as we did going into the finale.

Fawcett said, “We didn’t tell him until the season finale.” Manson added, “Yeah, I phoned him before we started rolling on episode 210 and I said, ‘Are you sitting down?’”

That clone dance party wasn’t as carefree to shoot as it was to watch.

Fawcett said, “…it took a ton of time to shoot — Helena meeting Cosima, Alison, and Sarah. ...

When Demi Lovato gets bored signing autographs, you never know what she’ll scribble on a photo along with her signature. Last night she played an intimate show to celebrate the opening of Microsoft’s new store in Garden City, Long Island.

Two hundred fans were lucky enough to meet Demi and get her autograph, but instead of just signing the photos, she began to draw on them too (and document the ensuing loopiness).

Demi with a beard? That’s an autograph you’ll never forget. Her fans were loving the chance to see a goofy side of Demi, and she seemed to be having fun too. Check out the other fun pics she (and her fans) posted to Twitter.

Gotta love a superstar who doesn’t take herself too seriously. Demi’s never lost her sense of humor and that’s one of the reasons we love her!

Ed Sheeran is trying to convince us he’s a mess on his latest X track, but we’re not entirely convinced.

In fact, “I’m a Mess,” which premiered Sunday (June 22) on MTV, is a rather pretty thing, mainly because it strips the production down to a minimum to focus on what we love the British singer for: That voice.

Get More: Ed Sheeran,
Ed Sheeran videos

Like most of his folk-leaning pop numbers, it’s a track that makes you feel like Sheeran’s singing just to you, and one that has a chorus that’s bound stick as he sings “For how long/ I love my lover.” And when his voice comes down to a near whisper — making the whole thing that much more intimate.

Oh, and he also manages to make the phrase “put your faith in my stomach” sound super romantic. Which is impressive.

“I’m a Mess” is the latest off Sheeran’s upcoming alum, X, which will drop Stateside on Monday.

DOVER, Delaware — Imagine Dragons unleashed their ‘Battle Cry’ on the U.S., using their Saturday night Firefly Festival slot for the tune’s live U.S. debut.

“We’re gonna do a song we’ve never done in the country,” singer Dan Reynolds announced. “We played it three days ago in Hong Kong. We were in the future, because Hong Kong is in the future.”

They’d performed the “Transformers: Age of Extinction” theme song at the film’s worldwide premiere in Hong Kong, one of the locations in the film.

Backed by pummelling drums at Firefly, Reynolds turned up the drama, wailing, “Nobody can save you now/ It’s do or die.”

The Las Vegas band was oozing with gratitude for its fans, who have helped them evolve from opening act to prime time.

“It’s such a beautiful evening,” Reynolds shared. “Last time we were here — we played Firefly two years ago — it was at 11 a.m., and to be back here now doing this again, we can’t tell you how much it means to us. Thank you for letting us do this. You are the greatest people in the world.”

Imagine Dragons are still performing strong in support of their acclaimed debut, 2012′s Night Visions. “Tiptoe” and “Rocks” made the set, and “On Top of the World” was a huge highlight, as was “Who We Are,” from the “Hunger Games: Catching Fire” soundtrack.

Don’t mess with Meek Mill.

Sure, you should have gotten that message by now. But even if you didn’t, the Philly rapper’s latest video for “I Don’t Know” drives that message home.

The Eif Rivera-directed spot was released on Sunday (June 22), and also features Paloma Ford, who sings the hook on the track. Meek and Paloma square off with some enemies out in the desert, and we’ll let you guess who comes out on top.

Get ready for Meek’s sophomore album, Dreams Worth More Than Money, due out later this year.

DJ Khaled and Rick Ross could use a little work on their golf swings.

In the new video for “They Don’t Love You No More,” the two Miami natives stand atop luxury vehicles and hit golf balls into the — well, hit golf balls not that far.

That’s not a slight, fellas. Just an observation. We still got love, even if you feel like no one else does, like they discuss on the track.

The lead to single to Khaled’s upcoming I Changed A Lot also features Meek Mill delivering his fiery verse and French Montana on the hook — though Jay Z doesn’t show up when it time for the song’s final verse.

Not to worry, though. They other guys, with the help of Timbaland, flash some stacks, pour some champagne, and rap Hov’s verse in his place.

There’s also an appearance by Terio. Naturally.

If you’re not caught up on the finale of “Orphan Black,” may we suggest you back away from this post now (and not slowly), as it contains perhaps the biggest game-changing spoiler in Clone Club history.

OK, so. Let’s talk about Mark, shall we? Because Mark is not really unique. Mark is, shall we say, one of a few with no family, too? That’s right, folks: there’s an army of male clones out there in the world and they all share a face with Ari Millen, the actor who — up until this point — was known solely as Prolethean convert Mark. He’s been creeping us out all season and now we know why…

Mark is a clone. (And here all this time you thought the game-changer was the trans clone.)

Which means we haven’t seen the last of him, or even all of him, yet. Not by a long shot. Ho-ly sestrahood, folks!

Now, the reveal that Project Leda was merely one part of the cloning operation was not all that surprising — people have wondered since season one if there were male counterparts and who that might be (many fans hoped it would be revealed to be Felix). But the fact that we found out, at the end of the season, that we’d been dealing with a male clone the whole time? W-O-W. That’s a reveal, folks. Project Castor is a-go.

Mark’s existence as a clone opens up the floodgates in a really ...

It looks like Khloe Kardashian didn’t see our “Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Wear A Native American Headdress” story, because if she did, she might not be getting heat on Instagram for posting a photo of herself wearing one.

The photo, which she captioned “Ray Of Clouds. Chirping of birds. Gurgling of water. Granted desire. One with water. #kidchella my first Coachella!!!,” has inspired some scolding comments on Instagram.

fern_monster had a one-word response to the photo: “Problematic.”

Meanwhile, others defended Khloe. “Y’all need to chill out. Find something else better to do than criticize a celebrity. She’s not wearing it to offend any culture.” wrote maryybee.

Kylie Jenner also shared a photo with Khloe in the headdress, although there have not been comments about its inappropriateness thus far:

Khloe’s certainly not the first celeb to make the faux pas; Pharrell garnered backlash for his Elle UK cover and No Doubt pulled their “Looking Hot” video for its insensitivity to Native American culture.

Is your Twitter feed clogged with World Cup paraphernalia? Yeah, mine too. And Rihanna isn’t helping.

The Barbadian songstress doesn’t seem to have a favorite team, but hey, why not root for all the countries? We’re all in this together, right? And as we all know, there’s no better way to support your fave football (ahem, soccer) team, than to shoot out some carefully worded tweets.

That’s exactly what Rih Rih has been doing, showing love for Germany in their game against Ghana on Saturday (June 21) and shouting out friend Miroslav Klose, the German forward.

Take a look at her tweets from today’s match, along with those in the past, and try to tell me Rih isn’t the World Cup‘s #1 fan.

My favorite? “Goal keepers getting phucking sleepy.”
