Rihanna Punks Jimmy Kimmel

As one of Kimmel's co-head writers, his wife Molly was instrumental in orchestrating the prank. Dressed to the nines and accompanied by her disco light-wearing, boom box blasting band members, Rihanna snuck into Kimmel's house, tiptoed up to his bedroom and proceeded to stage a full concert at his bedside.

Tossing dollar bills over the sleeping Kimmel, Rihanna belted out her current single, "B**** Better Have My Money," while shining flashlights in his eyes and jumping on his bed like a trampoline.

As the self-proclaimed prankster realized what was happening, it became clear he appreciated the joke. Finally dressed in a robe, Kimmel followed the crew to the living room and high-fived the singer. Watch it here.

Avril Lavigne Reveals Mystery Illness

"I feel bad because I haven't been able to say anything to the fans to let them no [sic] why I've been absent," Lavigne wrote. "I'm torn as I'm quite private� I'm not feeling well. I'm having some health issues. So please keep me in your prayers."

Now the cause of Lavigne's illness has been revealed in the latest issue of People, which the pop-punk singer covers. It turns out that she has been battling Lyme disease.

Lavigne found out her diagnosis after her 30th birthday trip to Las Vegas last September. "I could barely eat, and when we went to the pool, I had to leave and go lie in bed," she said. "My friends asked, 'What's wrong?' I didn't know."

After seeing a doctor, Lavigne recalled she had been bitten by a tick in the springtime. "I had no idea a bug bite could do this," she recalls. "I was bedridden for five months. I felt like I couldn't breathe, I couldn't talk and I couldn't move. I thought I was dying." Read more here.

Trooper Reprimanded For Taking Photo With Criminal: Snoop Dogg

According to Ty Clevenger, Spears' attorney, the cop wasn't aware of who Snoop was-and that the rapper asked for the photo while in a secured area at the fest. Snoop's publicist took the photo, which was uploaded to his Instagram with the caption "Me n my deputy dogg."

But Department of Public Safety officials who saw the photo cited Spears for posing with a criminal; Snoop has been arrested multiple times, many of which have been for drug and/or weapon possession, including a 1993 murder charge of which he was later acquitted. The DPS decided that Spears needed counseling due to the incident. Read more here.

Tyga Served With Court Papers At Shoe Release Party

Tyga looked at it, appeared dismayed and took the paper. He smiled uncomfortably for a picture with the man, who then walked away. Outside, TMZ cameras caught up with the man. "What'd you give him?" asks the cameraman.

"Court papers," replies the man. When asked his charges, the man notes that he's not charged with anything, but he has to appear in court because, "He's not paying somebody." Read more and watch the video here.

Keith Urban and Eric Church Release 'Raise 'Em Up' Video

The video kicks off with a young girl dancing along to the song, something Urban says was inspired by his own daughters. Filmed in Nashville last month, Urban and Church are shown singing and playing the song on guitars while joking around with each other, something Church admits was fun to film.

"My favorite part of this video were the candid moments that were captured between Keith and I on film," Church said in a press release. "It's cool that a number of those made it in the final version. To me, they really reify the emotion of the moment and experience."

"Some of the idea for this video started with me playing with my phone one day, filming our girls jumping in slow motion," Urban added. "That's all that they were doing, just jumping up in the air in slo mo. We put 'Raise 'Em Up' on and were watching this film of our girls and they just went together beautifully. It was so simple, and emotional, and it captured some of the spirit of what I feel is at the heart of this song." Watch the video here.

Nick Jonas Releases New 'Chains' Video

The takeaway here is that a Nick Jonas party don't stop until six in the morning. If some of you wonder, 'Wait, didn't Nick already put out a video for this track off his self-titled album?" You're right, he did.

But, this new version, dubbed the "Winwood Walls Edition," is definitely a lot more fun. Jonas recently announced he will not be heading out on Iggy Azalea's rescheduled tour, but he will be heading to the 50th annual Academy of Country Music Awards to collaborate with country duo Dan + Shay at the awards show.

DeJ Loaf and Kid Ink Release 'Be Real' Video

Then we see brief clips of bloody models stalking around a mansion-uh, oh. Clearly something is afoot: while never explicitly made clear, we can assume that Ink and Loaf are meant to represent some kind of undead royalty living out their eternal life in a lavish mansion, a concept driven home by Ink's Victorian-esque blazer.

The DJ Mustard instrumental provides the perfect underpinning for Loaf and Ink's croons, and its pitched up vocal samples complement the spooky mood.

"Be Real" comes off Kid Ink's recent release Full Speed. In an interview with The Fader, he says that "Be Real" wasn't originally intended as a single, "but the response when the album dropped was overwhelming-the people made it a single."

Beastie Boys Ad-Rock Stars In Latest 'Ask a Grown Man'

His professional obligation is our gain, as he signed on for the latest edition of Rookie Mag's Ask a Grown Man. In the iconic video series, where some of our favorite grown men have cemented themselves as role models, Horovitz gives some solid advice about first kisses, break ups, and romantic insecurities. "Boys are, for the most part, not very observant or all together smart," Horovitz reveals before promoting communication between a young couple.

Perhaps the biggest question comes from a young woman who battles feeling down or defeated, to which Horovitz lets her know that she isn't alone, that everyone gets down in some way.

Matt and Kim Talks New Album 'New Grow'

But be careful about calling them "indie": while they have the D.I.Y. ethic of indie rock in its purest sense, they don't really relate with the scene of the past decade and a half or so.

"We're very human, and we're fun," Johnson says. "We're excited to be doing what we're doing. There is an era of indie music where it just because just about trying to look cool on stage. That 'bored' look became a thing. On stage you can see we're enjoying ourselves, because we are enjoying ourselves. And we want to show it."

He continues: "If you come from a pissed off place, be pissed off. If you're coming from a sad place, be sad. But just don't be bored. Watching people be bored, or look bored, is boring to watch. Seeing her," he says, pointing at Kim, "She will be dancing and smiling at any given moment in her life."

Dancing, and in particular, Kim's dancing, is an important visual aspect of the group, and distinguishes them from the duller indie rock acts. "To see a member of an indie band dance like that in a video, people are like, 'Whoa! Kim! You've got moves!' She's very comfortable with her body." In fact, both Kim and Matt are pretty comfortable with their bodies, which has always been a calling card of sorts for the duo.

Kim's dancing, and a bit of Matt's is on display in the video for "Hey Now," from New Glow, which sees her tearing it up at a waterfront park in Brooklyn. As Kim says, "So, I like to dance, and when you come to our shows, it happens. Matt was just like, 'Why don't we just have a video where you dance?' We have a video like that for 'Overexposed' from 2012's Lightning. But doing it outside was maybe a bad idea. In New York City in February! Not the first time we did that!"

In fact, their breakthrough came via a rather frigid music video: "There's a little song called 'Lessons Learned,'" Matt says, "Where we got naked in Times Square."

Kim laughs, "You think we would have learned by now!"

Matt counters, "Hey, this time we wore some clothes at least. But the 'Hey Now' video felt very 'Matt and Kim.' But it's like 'Matt and Kim 2.0.' We might have tried a few new things, but it's still Matt and Kim. But we thought, how are we going to portray that energy in a video? Kim's gotta shake that booty, that's how!" here.

Taylor Swift Shares April Fools' Day Survival Tip

But, Taylor Swift came up with a way to make it through the day unharmed. Seriously, it's pretty foolproof. Swift took to Twitter in the wee hours of the morning to let fans know her method, which is actually quite simple. "For the next 24 hours, TRUST NO ONE. *locks self in kitchen cabinet*"

Now, we imagine if you don't have a cabinet big enough to hide out in, you could substitute a spacious closet or perhaps, even staking out the bathroom wouldn't be a terrible idea. Read more here.

Darius Rucker Talks New Album 'Southern Style'

When talking about Southern Style, the word "fun" comes up frequently. And after listening to lead single "Homegrown Honey," as well as the title track, it's clear this was the focal point of the album. 'We wanted to have a little more fun with this record," Rucker says.

"Homegrown Honey" is just one example. Written with Charles Kelley of Lady Antebellum, Rucker said the instant they finished writing the song with Nathan Chapman, he knew it was destined for radio.

'[When] we finished it, we were sitting around and I said, 'This is my single,'" he recalls. "There was no doubt in my mind that that was my first single. This song was so much fun. It's [about] a guy I'm not anymore, but we can sing about it anyway."

Title track "Southern Style," which Rucker wrote with Rivers Rutherford, continues the fun. "It's one of those country songs that I love," Rucker says of the ode to a Southern woman. "It's such a cool story about everybody. It just felt right for me with this record. The songs I was hearing, the songs I was cutting, it had a cool theme of Southern living going through it so I thought Southern Style would be a cool name for the record." Read more here.
