Last night Candice Glover became the first female contestant to win American Idol since Jordin Sparks took home the title back in 2007. (Cool coincidence: Remember how Jordin told us that she was rooting for Candice to win Season 12?!)

The 23-year-old vocal powerhouse looked pretty shocked when Ryan Seacrest read the results during last night's finale.

"I can't even, oh my God," Candice said. "Three years!" (She had initially tried out for the show back in Season 9 and in Season 11.)

Backstage Candice described the crazy moment that she was crowned winner: "I don't remember him saying my name. I do remember confetti getting in my mouth."

"I always knew for some reason that it would happen if I kept going," she added.

Watch Candice perform her new single "I Am Beautiful" below, and let us know how you feel about her as your Season 12 winner in the comments!

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are hard to keep up with when it comes to their relationship. One minute they're together, the next they're not...it's all just very confusing.

Apparently Jelena is momentarily back on, though, because Justin and Selena were seen holding hands and dancing together last night!

According to E! News, the two were spotted entering through the private back entrance of a night club around 11:30. There to celebrate Justin's friend Tay James' birthday, the two were seen holding hands, dancing, and enjoying themselves.

Justin arrived back in L.A. earlier this week and tweeted,

Emblem3 has quite the exciting summer ahead of them. Not only will their debut album go on sale, but it's just been announced that the boys will be joining Selena Gomez on her Stars Dance world tour!

The band stopped by the J-14 offices today and chatted with us about Selena and their busy months to come.

Emblem3 will meet the "Come and Get It" singer for the first time this Sunday at the Billboard Music Awards. When we asked the boys if they were nervous, they each said they were more excited than anything. "I haven't heard that she bites or anything so I'm really not worried about it," Drew explains.

Before the boys go on tour, they plan to release their debut album. "Right when summer gets kicked off the album's going to drop and then everyone's going to be hopefully listening to our music," Drew says.

According to Keaton, the album is essentially complete and currently is being mixed and mastered. He also reveals that the boys wrote about half of the songs they recorded!

Watch the video below to see Keaton, Wesley, and Drew talk about Selena. Psst, we ask them if she's their type!

Stay tuned for how you can get involved like J-14 reader Sarah!

Cody Simpson seems to be taking cues from Justin Bieber when it comes to his tour tactics. The singer has announced that he'll be serenading one lucky fan at each of his concerts!

We hung out with Cody at his photo shoot in NYC yesterday and asked the singer to let us in on his selection process when it comes to serenading a fan.

"Before shows I'll go out and look through the crowd from behind the curtains and text my security and tour manager if I see someone who captures my attention," Cody tells us. "It doesn't have to be someone who has the whole outfit and the whole merchandise or a big sign. If I see a person that looks like genuinely a big fan, knows all the words and there's excitement in their eyes I'm just like... yeah."

Well there you have it. If you're a Cody Simpson superfan and know all the words to his songs, you're in the running for a special serenade!

Check out the video below of Cody rehearsing for his summer tour.

Are you excited for Cody's Paradise tour? What would you do if you were chosen to be serenaded?

When a picture of the Billboard Music Awards seating plan which depicted Selena Gomez sitting next to Justin Bieber leaked online, we were sure this meant Jelena was back on! But as the awards show went live, we were disappointed to see Selena surrounded by everyone but Justin.

Apparently backstage was a different story! While Jelena may not be ready to announce their reunion to the public just yet, they seem perfectly fine with showing a little PDA behind the curtain!

Selena was seen giving Justin a kiss on the cheek and hug as she walked by. The best part of the captured moment though, is Taylor Swift's reaction! The "22" singer is clearly not a Jelena supporter.

Justin Bieber was having a great time at last night's Billboard Music Awards. Not only did the singer participate in two awesome performances, he also won three awards and managed to steal a backstage kiss from Selena Gomez!

But when Justin took the stage to accept the Milestone Award, his final win of the night, he was booed by the crowd!

The singer paused before giving his acceptance speech, eventually saying, "I'm 19 years old. I think I'm doing a pretty good job."

"Basically from my heart I really just want to say it really should be about the music," he continued. "It should be about the craft that I'm making. This is not a gimmick, and I'm an artist, and I should be taken seriously."

Poor Justin. The singer has been through so much lately and has had to deal with tons of negative press. We hope things start looking up for him soon!

This was the first year the fan voted Milestone Award was presented at the Billboard Music Awards. Justin also took home Top Social Artist and Top Male Artist.

Watch the video below, and let us know if you think Justin handled the situation well.

MTV just debuted the first full trailer for Season 3 of Teen Wolf, and it looks just as intense as you'd expect, given how things left off for Scott and the gang in last year's finale. We can't decide what has more dramatic potential: the deadly pack of Alpha werewolves that are taking over Beacon Hills (and want Derek to join their ranks!) or the fact that Erica and Boyd are still in serious danger.

You don't see too many Oscar-winning actresses in crazy blue get-ups like this, do you?

Earlier today director Bryan Singer tweeted this photo of Jennifer Lawrence back in the role of Mystique on the set of X-Men: Days of Future Past . Apparently this time around she decided to ditch the head-to-toe body paint -- which gave her "weird boils, rashes and blisters" while filming the first movie -- in favor of a bodysuit.

"It will be from neck down so it will cut out time and the blisters," she recently explained to E!.

Sounds like a smart plan to us!


Zendaya Reveals Why She Wants to Win 'DWTS'

Talk about feeling pressure: Tonight Zendaya Coleman is set to perform three dances with her partner, Val Chmerkovskiy, that could result in her beating out her fellow Dancing with the Stars finalists and taking home the coveted Mirror Ball Trophy -- which would be a first for both of them.

"This guy right here is way more than just a partner, he's an inspiration, a role model, a teacher but most importantly...he's family," Zendaya wrote when posting the pic above on Instagram yesterday. The strength of their bond could explain why they're one of four remaining couples in what has been a super intense competition.

According to Zendaya, winning a trophy isn't the main reason that she hopes to become the champion of Season 16. Instead, she hopes to inspire the kids who are at home watching her perform.

"I want to be a positive role model for them and I want them to see someone their age working hard and showing that age doesn't really define what you can do and what dreams you can, you know, go for and I don't want them to think that there's an age limit on that," she said during rehearsals for the finale. "So that's the most important thing."

"If I, you know, inspired some kids to maybe start ballroom dancing or, you know, go out for their soccer team, or whatever, then that's what I'm really here for," she added.

Will you be watching Zendaya's performance tonight? Let her know that you're rooting for her in the comments below!

Taylor Swift made the funniest face last night when Selena Gomez stopped to kiss Justin Bieber at the Billboard Music Awards. Seriously. It looked like she was going to gag.

The "22" singer always puts so much emotion into everything she does, including her facial expressions! In celebration of Taylor's rare gift of showing EXACTLY how she really feels, here are 10 of our favorite faces of all time.

1. Confused

If Taylor doesn't understand something you'll probably be able to tell.

2. Happy

We think Taylor's the type of girl that would laugh at your jokes just to make you feel better.

3. Incredulous

Taylor isn't one to hold back her emotions.

taylor-swift-reaction-face-4.gif

4. Scared

Take a deep breath, Tay.

taylor-swift-reaction-face-5.gif

5. Excited

Imagine what Christmas morning with Taylor is like...

taylor-swift-reaction-face-6.gif

6. In disbelief

Though this may also be Taylor's "I'm thinking too hard" face.

taylor-swift-reaction-face-7.gif

7. Annoyed

Ah, the classic eye roll. We know it well.

taylor-swift-reaction-face-8.gif

8. Angry

Everyone has their moments, Taylor's just happen to be televised.

taylor-swift-reaction-face-9.gif

9. Heartbroken

We imagine this is how Taylor looks right before she writes an amazing breakup anthem.

Is Taylor Swift Mad at Justin Bieber?

taylor-swift-mad-at-justin-bieber.jpg

After seeing Taylor Swift's reaction to Selena Gomez kissing Justin Bieber backstage at the Billboard Music Awards, it's safe to say she's not a Jelena supporter. But is that because she doesn't like Justin?

When Taylor was asked how she felt about Justin winning the Milestone Award at the BBMA, the "22" singer refused to comment or talk about Justin at all. (Skip to the 0:40 mark in the video below to see it happen.)

This comes as a surprise figuring Taylor and Justin used to be good friends. The two performed together in the past and Justin even punked Taylor on MTV!

taylor-swift-justin-bieber.gif

We can understand how a bad break up between Selena and Justin could cause Taylor to choose sides, but it seems that Jelena is trying to make things work again.

Why do you think Taylor didn't want to talk about Justin? Do you think they're fighting?

When Ed Sheeran announced that he wouldn't be working with One Direction on their new album because he was focusing on his own, we were a little bummed. After all, we've come to think of 1D and Ed as a team! Now, however, we're feeling nothing but excitement because the "Lego House" singer has confirmed that the songs for his new album are complete.

We're not quite sure how the singer was able to focus on his own music while simultaneously touring the world with Taylor Swift, but he did. Speaking with Billboard the singer revealed that he turned all his music in to his record company on Sunday.

But when can fans expect the album to release? "It's early next year," Sheeran spills. "It was going to be this year but I don't finish touring till October and then there's no time to get a plan together. I'm going to spend October, November, December planning and then just smash it out next year."

While we wish we didn't have to wait so long for the release, we're glad to hear that Ed's sophomore album is nearly done!

Are you excited to hear new music from Ed?
