We don’t know how it happened. We don’t know when it happened. We don’t really understand why it happened… But at some point in time, Rihanna actually became the cast of “Arrested Development.”

Either show creators have curated their story lines from Rih-Rih’s life, or she’s been secretly paying the homage to the cult classic show all along.

The undeniable proof:

1. She Wore Diamond Cream

2. She Wore This

3. And Then This

4. She, Too, Blue Herself

5. She’s All About That Yacht Life

6. She’S A Hot Cop

10. And, Occasionally, Dresses Like Her

11. She’s Another Unqualified Person Who Has Handled A Gun

12. She Knows The Family Slogan

13. She’s Embraced The Inner (And Outer) Ostrich

14. The Jorts

15. She Makes Love To Ice Cream

16. She Can Rock A Mugshot

17. “Up Here, Michael. Up Here”

And As A Bonus…

Gwar frontman David Brockie’s death this March was caused by an accidental heroin overdose, the Virginia State Medical Examiner’s Office has announced.

Arkuie Williams of the state’s medical examiner’s office confirmed to Reuters on Tuesday (June 3) that the 50-year-old died of “acute heroin toxicity and the manner of death is accident.”

The singer was found dead in his Richmond, Virginia, home by his roommate on March 23.

Brockie was one of the founding members of the costumed heavy-metal group in 1984, and stuck with the group for 30 years and thirteen albums as the main creative voice. He was known among his fans as his onstage alter-ego Oderus Urungus, an extraterrestrial warrior, who, like the others, was determined to bring humanity to a violent end. The band was known for their theatrical and often gruesome shows, ones that included elaborate costumes like Brockie’s “meat masks” and monsters that terrorized the audience.

Despite being known for their over-the-top shows, the band got two Grammy nods in their 30-year run — one nomination for Best Metal Performance in 1995 and another for Best Long Form Music Video in 1993.

When it comes to R&B music, Trey Songz has proven himself a master.

Whether he’s the life of the party on tracks like “Say Ahh” or romancing the ladies on his new single “Na Na,” Songz has rarely looked for help from other singers, but when it came time to collaborate with Justin Bieber on his new album, Trigga Trey just couldn’t pass the chance up.

“I’m elated for people to hear how he sounds on it, because the first reaction I get from a lot of people is: ‘Who is that?’ Because you don’t expect him to be on a record like that,” Songz told MTV news on Monday.

The record that Trey references is the “Foreign” remix, that will appear on his Trigga LP when it drops on July 1.

“It’s incredible. We’ve seen Justin Bieber grow in the last few years. People have a lot of opinions on how he’s chosen to live his life in a lot of ways, but one thing we can’t deny is that musically he’s evolved,” Trey said. “Last year he went out on an edge and made the world — basically — accept him doing R&B.”

Bieber started as a squeaky clean pop kid, but as he’s grown, he’s developed an edge to him musically and in his life outside of the booth. The Biebs is currently in the middle of a controversy after an old video surfaced of him telling a racially-insensitive joke surfaced online on Sunday. Justin has since apologized, and Songz ...

We’ve already swooned all over Ansel Elgort’s impromptu tap-dancing performance on last night’s “Tonight Show,” but we have not even talked about the clip from “The Fault In Our Stars” that he introduced on the show as well.

The clip is actually something of an important scene for the story: Isaac (Nat Wolff) has just been dumped by his long-term girlfriend, while Hazel (Shailene Woodley) and Gus (Elgort) are just beginning their own friendship. While the two of them discuss Hazel’s favorite book, “An Imperial Affliction,” Isaac rages in the background, destroying Gus’s unloved basketball trophies. Pain, as it turns out, demands to be felt.

“The Fault In Our Stars” director Josh Boone also admitted to MTV News that this was the scene he was most nervous about getting right on-screen, lest he invoke the ire of fans of the John Green novel from which the movie is adapted.

“I was terrified,” Boone said of the scene. “I didn’t know if it was gonna work, I didn’t know if it was gonna be too big. I just didn’t know if we were going to be able to pay enough attention to what they were talking about, which was important, at the same time as he was breaking all these trophies.”

It also contains what Boone said was his favorite line of improv from Wolff: “He holds up the really, really big trophy and to Gus is like, ‘yo, Gus, can I –’ and Gus is like, ‘yeah,’ and he just throws it down like ...

G-Unit just reunited over the weekend, but it sure seems like they’re ready to put the pedal to the floor on their comeback.

On Tuesday (June 3), 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Young Buck, Tony Yayo and Kidd Kidd released their remix of “0-100,” Drake’s latest track which dropped over the weekend.

“You got me f–ked up you think it’s different now a n—a rich/ ‘Fore I get to cuttin’, all you n—as better cut the sh–,” 50 raps to open the song, which arrives the same day as his fifth solo album, Animal Ambition.

The remix comes a day after the Unit delivered their musical reunion in the form of “Nah I’m Talkin’ Bout,” and just two days since they linked back up on the Summer Jam stage.

And it sounds like this is something fans should get used to.

“We got no dates, we working,” Young Buck told XXL about the possibility of an entire reunion project on Monday night. “[We] in the studio. Stay tuned.”

Banks was similarly elusive with details, but confirmed that more is on deck. “Work in progress,” he said. “We just put out the new freestyle today. Check it out.”

And if the album release and G-Unit track didn’t give you a sufficient dose of 50 Cent today, just moments before the “0-100″ remix dropped, Fabolous liberated his “Cuffin’ Season (Remix),” which features the Queens rapper.

Director Scott Derrickson has officially signed on to direct Marvel’s “Doctor Strange,” focusing on the master of the mystic arts. This is also the first real confirmation that “Strange” will be a part of the movie studio’s Phase Three.

Though Marvel itself has yet to confirm Derrickson as of press time, the director seems to be a perfect choice for the feature. He previously wrote and directed the surprise hit horror film “Sinister,” as well as the upcoming “Deliver Us From Evil,” which is riding a wave of positive pre-release buzz.

He’s also working on the recently announced “Two Eyes Staring,” which IMDB lists as being released in 2014, though work on “Strange” could, of course, push that back a bit. That said, as — other than an Easter Egg mention in “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” — Marvel hasn’t officially announced “Strange” on their schedule, we don’t know yet when it will be released.

Meaning, Derrickson may have plenty of time to tackle another micro-budget horror film, then Marvel’s next big tentpole property.

If our clocks are set right, speculation on who will play the surgeon turned ultimate magician will move online to Derrickson’ previous collaborator Ethan Hawke any second now; though we’ll point people to Joel McHale, who Derrickson cast in “Deliver Us From Evil” and has plenty of time on his hands now that “Community” has been cancelled.

Plus, McHale knows how to play a repentant jerk juuuuust right.

We’ll have more on this as it develops.

Now, if you’ve somehow not been spoiled and/or have thus far successfully kept “The Mountain and The Viper” storyline revelations at bay — and good on you for that impressive feat — it would be pertinent for you to then also skip this post, because guess what? It contains some serious Game of Thrones spoilers. Good? OK.

Pedro Pascal, supremely talented actorperson that brought fan favorite Oberyn Martell to life has a very vivid imagination. One filled with raging parties, impressive elephants, and even a fried-up Lannister or two. Which is likely why, when Vanity Fair asked him to describe what he imagined the Dornish funeral for his character would look like, came out so detail-specific and strange (in the best way, because elephants).

Now we don’t know about the rest of you, but: doesn’t this sound like the sort of funeral you’d be remiss to not attend? We’re hopping on a boat to Sunspear now, Oberyn.

Jazmin was a high school senior with her sights set on a career in medicine, but Monday’s episode of “16 and Pregnant” showed her struggling to follow her dreams after an unexpected pregnancy.

As Jazmin adjusted to her new role as a mother, her own parents faced fresh challenges as well: namely, dealing with their feelings of betrayal after Jazmin broke the house rules and became pregnant. In response, Jazmin’s mom Teesha and her stepfather Brad hunkered down and refused to change any of the regulations that were already in place pre-pregnancy. Among the most restrictive: Jazmin and her boyfriend Dell couldn’t be alone without a parent present, and Dell wasn’t allowed in the house after 10 p.m.

“It’s hard because me and my mom are best friends, and having her trust is important,” Jazmin told a friend. She also worried that her parents’ rigidity would affect Dell’s relationship with their newborn Laila. “I just hope he has enough time with her — that time he wants and time he needs to get to know his daughter.”

But that didn’t happen. Dell’s busy work schedule often kept him from making the house curfew each night, and Jazmin began to yearn for his help with Laila so she could devote time to schoolwork. She also realized her relationship with Dell was disintegrating since the baby’s arrival. “It went from romantic to business really fast,” she admitted.

And Jazmin’s parents? They still wouldn’t ...

Philip Seymour Hoffman‘s emotional vulnerability is often what made him such a spellbinding actor. His commitment to owning and living in those truths is what made him an icon gone far too soon.

Never before have the actor’s mastery of the complexities of human emotion more evident than in Blank on Blank’s latest animated video installment, featuring Hoffman in conversation with Simon Critchley from December 22, 2012. To call it worth your time would be an understatement.

Despite the sadness permeating the conversation at hand — coupled with the fact that Hoffman lost his life to the darker impulses he makes reference to — it is clear that the actor was an optimist and uplifted by his handle on reality. Both fully aware of his excess and impulses (and what it takes to control them), while simultaneously longing for that lack of control and understanding, Hoffman’s thoughtfulness on the matter cannot be understated. It’s poignant, sad, uplifting, and funny: everything we’ve come to expect and love from the actor.

Trap music fans were surprised to hear Migos show up on Justin Bieber’s recent release “Looking For You,” but the Atlanta rappers tell MTV News that the collaboration came about pretty organically. And, as far as the outcry over Bieber’s offensive racial joke — they don’t support his choice of words, but they don’t think the pop star is racist either.

Just over a week after the collaboration debuted, a leaked video hit the Net, which found 15-year-old Bieber telling a joke that included the “N-word” in the punchline. Bieber has since apologized, and Migos didn’t seem to be too put off by it.

“It wasn’t a good move to make but he accepted what he did and he don’t use that lingo around us,” they told MTV News. “We ain’t personally see the video anyway we just heard about, but it feels [like it's] in the past and that’s not what we condone.

“We do our music together and we’re good through music. So [we] don’t feel like he’s a racist.”

Their collaboration on “Looking For You” was birthed when Biebs took a trip to ATL (maybe around the same time he hit the studio with Ross and Diddy?)

“He was in Atlanta, he came to our city and we linked with him,” Migos said of recording with Bieber. “It wasn’t no ‘send’ situation — we [were] in the booth and working with him was pretty cool. He’s laid back, he be chillin’, ...
