We knew that Ariana Grande was multi-talented. What we didn't realize was that the girl can rap!

Before she took to the stage at Sunday night's Billboard Music Awards to introduce Justin Bieber, the Sam & Cat star delivered an impromptu performance of his song "As Long As You Love Me."

Check out Ariana's cover below, and let us know if you think these two should collaborate on new material when they hit the road together later this year!

A few days ago we posted a photo of Austin Mahone in the studio, busy at work on his debut album. Now, thanks to a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, we know a little bit more about the upcoming release.

"My album is coming out around the fall so it's exciting," Austin told them at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday night. "I worked with RedOne. He's done a lot of Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, so he's a super talented guy."

According to the 17-year-old singer, there's no official title for the record yet (although we've heard rumors it will be called "Junior Year"), but he was able to reveal a little bit about what it will sound like.

"[The album is] gonna be a lot like Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync kind of melodies but like a new style of beat, kind of like EDM," Austin said. "New electronic style. It's really hard to explain but just wait until it comes out."

Austin's new RedOne-produced single "What About Love" -- which is currently available for pre-order on iTunes -- drops on June 10.

Are you guys as excited as we are to check it out?

Last night was the Dancing with the Stars finale, and while we're super bummed that Zendaya came in second place and didn't take home the Mirror Ball trophy, we're also incredibly proud of her!

As her partner Val Chmerkovskiy tweeted after the show:

In honor of Zendaya's time spent on DWTS, we've rounded up the celeb's personal pics from her incredible journey.

4. What touched us the most was the caption Zendaya posted along with the pic: "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."

5. We're going to miss those two faces!

6. Zendaya accidentally elbowed Val in the face. Woops!

It looks like on-again, off-again couple Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson have called it quits for good. The Twilight hunk was seen packing his belongings and leaving the house he and Kristen shared.

Days after Rob left, Kristen was spotted at Taylor Swift's house reportedly having a very long bonding sesh. We didn't even know they were friends!

Kristen spent all day at the "22" singer's Beverly Hills home, where we're sure the girls made fun of their exes. Maybe Taylor even wrote a new song about the Twilight co-stars. After all, she did say she gets inspiration from other people.

Are you surprised Kristen and Taylor are hanging out? Do you think Taylor should write a breakup song about Robsten?

Ryan Beatty recently posted another cover on his YouTube channel, and this time he's taking on Rihanna's "Stay." The teen hottie slows down the track, and shows off his sensitive side.

"When I think about the songs that have affected me the most, they aren't 'party in the club' type of songs," he has explained. "Those songs are fun to dance to, but I really connect to personal songs and that's what I want to create for other people."

Justin Bieber recently went on a cat Instagraming spree, which immediately made us think of Taylor Swift, the queen of cat photos! With Taylor and Justin's recent feud, we felt it was only appropriate to do a cat cute-off between Justin's cat Mrs. Garfield and Taylor's cat Meredith.

Let the games begin!

ROUND ONE: The evil glare.

ROUND TWO: The 'pet me' look.

Demi Lovato to Release Awesome New iBook

It looks like a new album and coveted spot at The X-Factor judges' table isn't enough for Demi Lovato. The singer recently announced that she also has an official e-book on the way.

demi-lovato.gif

We're not sure who's more excited by the news -- us or Demi!

The book, which will be released digitally on June 11 through Apple's iBooks platform, features video, text, and more than 50 personal photographs from the singer's life over the past few years.

Demi reached out to Ryan Seacrest and asked him to pen the foreword, which he read on air.

"I've had the good fortune of meeting hundreds of artists over the years," he writes. "But Demi Lovato is a standout without question. Of course, her musical talents are undeniable. But I believe she shines so bright because of who she is, what she's been through and what she stands for."

Demi is available for pre-order on iTunes. Will you be downloading a copy?

One Direction agreed to a have an impromptu dance-off last night during their concert in Barcelona. However, rather than battling each other, the boys went against their drummer and guitarists!

The dance competition may not have been as unplanned as the boys thought. After their cute freestyle (we love Niall's dance moves!), their band took the stage with an entire choreographed routine. Looks like 1D lost that battle!

Watch the video below, and let us know what you think of One Direction's dance moves!

Lea Michele Lands Book Deal!

It seems like publishing a book is the next big step after starring in a TV show, producing a record, and going on tour. Joining the ranks of soon-to-be published authors like Bella Thorne, One Direction, and Demi Lovato is Glee's Lea Michele!

The starlet has just announced that she is writing a "part memoir, part how-to and part style-guide" book titled Brunette Ambition.

lea-michele-lands-book-deal.gif

"There wasn't a guidebook when I was growing up, that detailed everything I would need to do, and know, to get where I am today," Lea explains. "But I believe I can write one of sorts: not a how-to-make-it-in-show-business book, but a guide to harnessing tenacity, passion, enthusiasm, and hard work to make your dreams come true."

Lea's Glee co-stars Jenna Ushkowitz and Chris Colfer have also recently published books. We wonder if this will become a trend among all the Glee actors...

Are you excited about the Michele's upcoming book? Who else from Glee would you like to see write a book?

Taylor Swift Jealous of Justin Bieber? We're Not Buying It!

justin-bieber-taylor-swift-happy.jpg

We know from the look on her face at the Billboard Music Awards that Taylor Swift isn't exactly rooting for a Jelena reunion. In fact, she might have even been a bit annoyed with Justin Bieber that night.

But the idea that's she's jealous of him? That seems a little farfetched to us!

"Let's just put it this way: Taylor is not a Belieber," a source told Radar Online.

"She loves Selena and wants her to be happy but she doesn't think going back and forth with Justin is the answer. That being said, Taylor's also a little bit jealous in a weird way."

Let's not forget that these two pop stars have a history that pre-dates Justin's relationship with Selena Gomez. Just look at this photo of them hugging at the Z100 Jingle Ball back in 2009!

EXCLUSIVE: Trevor Jackson "Devastated" Zendaya Didn't Win 'DWTS'

When Zendaya Coleman didn't take the win during Tuesday night's finale of Dancing with the Stars we were totally bummed. The Shake It Up actress was definitely one of our faves in the competition.

Her BFF Trevor Jackson was also pretty upset when she in second place -- and get this, he was talking to Zendaya's mom as the winner was announced! The "Like We Grown" singer stopped by the J-14 office earlier today and chatted with us about Zendaya and the DWTS finale.

"I was devastated [when she didn't win]," Trevor spills. "I saw her yesterday... She's alright, she's doing good. But she was devastated too, you know. She worked very, very hard. Every day, like six or seven hours a day she was rehearsing."

We're so glad Zendaya is surrounded by such an awesome group of friends and family. Her super supportive fans are pretty great, too!

J-14 recently chatted with Ty Simpkins, the youngest star of Iron Man 3, about his character, Harley Keenan, and his favorite behind-the-scenes adventure!

J-14: How did you get started in acting?

Ty Simpkins: I was still in my mom's stomach when we got a call from this guy and he was like, "We hear you're having a baby boy. Can we have him on our show?" And my mom said, "Oh, he's not born yet. We'll wait." And they waited for me to be born.

J-14: So you started really early?

Ty: Yeah, three weeks.

J-14: We totally love all the action in Iron Man 3! What was your favorite behind-the-scenes memory?

Ty: My favorite behind the scenes memory was probably, my mom and I heard there was this room that had all of the Iron Man suits in it. We kept trying to find it. It was really hard to find. We searched in like every single lot, every building in the lot. Then, we were ready to give up and I was like, "Wait there's one more." We walked in and there were all of the Iron Man suits. It was really awesome!

J-14: Where do you see your character in 10 years?

Ty: I see Harley as this mad scientist superhero kind of guy, with no superpowers because his superpower is his brain. Just a mad scientist that's pretty cool, fights crime. That's him in 10 years.

J-14: If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why?

Ty: I would either want to fly or shoot fire out of my hands because that's just a cool power. I could fly and I could skip traffic, I wouldn't have to go in a car. I wouldn't have to go in a plane. I could land whenever I want to take a rest. And shooting fire out of my hands, I could have light in darkness.

J-14: What's next for you?

Ty: I just wrapped Insidious: Chapter 2 in January and it comes out in September. Then I'm working on this movie called Conversations With Andy.


J-14 Exclusive: Nickelodeon Star Fatima Ptacek Talks Acting and Miranda Cosgrove

The a-DORA-ble actress Fatima Ptacek recently stopped by the J-14 office to chat. She Dished about her role as the iconic Dora The Explorer character and how she landed the part, the way she stands up to bullies and what we can expect from her in the future.

J-14: How did you get the role of Dora?

Fatima Ptacek: I went to the Nickelodeon offices and in the beginning they said it was just a secret project. They didn't tell us anything, but I had to prepare songs, so I sang "Grenade," by Bruno Mars and then read a couple of lines, and I noticed that the lines were the Dora lines, but I figured they were just recycling lines. There was a second audition and it was the same lines and a different song. About two months later, I got the call and they said, "Well, you're officially Dora the Explorer." I was just screaming, I was like, "Are you kidding me? That's ridiculous!" It was really, really exciting.

J-14: Can you tell us a little about the process of voice acting and what's different about it?

FP: With voice acting, it's definitely different because I'm only with the voice director in a booth and I don't have to work with anyone, I could come in wearing pajamas because I'm not on camera, it's just about the voice. With regular acting you have to come in an hour early for hair and makeup and for voice acting you have your own time and you just get started. But I love that they're both super fun!

J-14: Which do you like better regular, acting or voice acting?

FP: Well this is the first time I've actually really done voice acting seriously, and it's been a really, really fun experience. I definitely think I'm going to be continuing this because Dora keeps building up. But I think I just prefer acting in front of the camera because I like to show my emotions and I like to show that I can act and do a variety of things. But I love them both either way.

J-14: A lot of young kids look up to Dora. Who's one of your role models or one of your heroes in real life?

FP: When I was younger, Dora was definitely kind of a hero for me. I love that I get to take in that role and get to do it for other kids because I know how it felt. So that's an honor. I put a smile on millions of kids' faces just by talking, which is fascinating. But a role model --Miranda Cosgrove, I'm actually very proud of her for what she's doing. She's had a very successful run with Nickelodeon and iCarly and now she's taking the time off to go to college and I think that's super important. Because for me, education is the most important thing -- before any of this, and if I didn't have good grades, then I wouldn't be doing anything that I'm doing.

J-14: Do you have any advice for readers who want to get into acting?

FP: Never give up. It's definitely a tough business and there are roles that are looking for specific things and sometimes directors don't know what they want yet. They're just trying to get a whole variety so they can minimize the amount of people and go down the last three for a role. Even if you get close a whole bunch of times, you just have to keep going because one day that role is going to come for you and it's going to be the right role and you're going to love and enjoy it. You're going to remember that's why you wanted to do this, because you wanted to feel that moment of glory.

J-14: Dora's known for her adventures, obviously. What's the most adventurous thing you've ever done?

FP: Maybe not adventurous, but the most bold thing I've ever done, I think, is standing up to bullies at school. Friends of mine have been bullied and they've been picked on and sometimes even a teacher will make a comment that might be a little offensive and they may not realize it. So when it's another kid, I make sure to tell them that what they're doing isn't right. And I'm not afraid to tell them to stop it and I'm not afraid to tell the principal, I'm not afraid to tell the guidance counselor, so they should just stop right there and apologize. So I'm the peacemaker at my school a lot of the time, too. I try to encourage my friends to stand up too, because I don't want them to be scared. I want to show them that they can be just as powerful, and bullies don't have the right to do anything.

J-14: What's next for you?

FP: I have a couple projects that I'm not allowed to say, but I can't wait to tell you guys about them, so you have to bring me back! I guess. Curfew, the short film I did; we're going to be filming the feature during the summer. I'm pretty excited for that because if the short film is getting a whole bunch of buzz, with the whole story behind it, I think it's going to be even more exciting. I can't wait. And I have a couple other things, Nickelodeon, a lot of things pending. I'll keep you up to date!

Dana Gaier J-14.jpg

We first fell in love with Dana Gaier as the spunky middle sister Edith in Despicable Me, and this summer Dana is back to reprise her role in the highly anticipated sequel Despicable Me 2, out July 3! Dana stopped by our offices to chat about Edith, hanging with Miranda Cosgrove, One Direction and why you should check out Despicable Me 2!

J-14: Can you tell us a little bit about Despicable Me 2? What can we expect?

Dana Gaier: In this movie, the three sisters are already with Gru, so they're more of a family now and you get to see them in that family setting. What's funny about Edith in this movie is that she's going through this ninja phase. Gru's a secret agent during this movie and she just thinks that's the coolest thing ever. She's infatuated, and because she's going through her ninja phase, all she wants to do is help out. So she's always taking his gadgets, taking Nefario's gadgets, just always having a good time.

J-14: How did you identify with Edith?

DG: We're both troublemakers. We like to tease our sisters, definitely. But even though there's that teasing there's still that sibling love. It's still a good relationship but definitely having a little fun with it.

J-14: Speacking of sisters, you play Miranda Cosgrove's sister in the movie. Are the two of you close in real life?

DG: I would definitely call us friends. We were at the opening of the ride in Orlando together and that was so much fun. We basically spent the entire day together. We were talking about One Direction. I was like, "Oh my God so you have to tell me, how was One Direction on the set of iCarly?" She was like, "They are so cute!" I was like, "I'm so jealous!" cause I love them so much.

J-14: Has she given you any "big sister" advice?

DG: The first time I met her was at a screening for the first movie and when we were standing there I just remember her turning around and saying, "You did such a great job." To have such a huge star and such a great actress say that to you, it boosts your confidence. It's very encouraging.

J-14: Why would J-14 readers go see Despicable Me 2?

DG: There's so much to love about it! There's a new character, Kristen Wiig's character, Lucy. She was in the trailer, so there's another female character to identify with.

Selena Gomez jetted off to London on Tuesday to spend a few days promoting her new single and upcoming world tour. Unfortunately, she had to cancel her scheduled appearances on Wednesday due to illness.

However, that didn't stop the "Come and Get It" singer from hanging out with Jaden Smith, one of Justin Bieber's good friends. The two were spotted grabbing dinner together late last night at the Hakkasan.

Earlier in the day Jaden and his dad, Will Smith, spoke to BBC Radio, where the DJ Nick Grimshaw told Jaden that Selena had recently been in the studio. The singer responded with an excited, "Really?!"

"Hey, easy buddy," his dad joked. "What was all that energy?"

"She's a friend," Jaden clarified. "If I would have known that she was here, I would have been like 'Hey, what's up.'"

It appears Jaden must have reached out to Selena after his interview with BBC Radio, and the two decided to grab something to eat. Seems friendly enough, right?

Do you think Justin would be mad his BFF took his on-again, off-again girlfriend to dinner?

Ashley Benson is always posting pics with her Pretty Little Liars co-stars, Tyler Blackburn and Keegan Allen. So does this mean she's dating one of them? The simple answer: no.

"Every time I'm hanging out with Tyler [Blackburn], Keegan [Allen], my friend Izak, my friends who are girls, I'm dating all of them," Ashley tells Huffington Post. "It's very strange. I have a new boyfriend, a new girlfriend every week. But I'm single and I don't have a boyfriend."

To be fair, Ashley posts pics with all her PLL co-stars, not just the boys. Check out a few of our recent faves below!
