Well hey Akeelah Keke Palmer!

We knew the girl had Joyful Noise in her heart, but gurl can tear up a bouncy-beat, R&B-pop song like an old-school Brandy!

The 18-year-old mega-talent recently released her slick new single, You Got Me ft. Kevin McCall, and it's a love-stuffed, energetic track that we are ALL OVER right now.

Keke and her fellow dancers deliver sweet, punctuated dance moves in this understated music video, and, while we're not realllly feeling the cheesy photo-studio backdrop, we ADORE everything else!

Twerk those hips with Keke Palmer (above)!

What a glorious, magical, fantastical evening it was!!

And Nelly Furtado injected her own hoopy juice into the MuchMusic Video Awards jelly with a neon-tinged performance of her most recent jam, Big Hoops.

We do wish she had done something a little more exciting herself…

The background dancers are funzies and all, but come on Nelly spin them hips, hula-hoop! The song just screams DANCE DANCE DANCE to my lou beats.

If you tuned into the premiere of ABC Family’s Bunheads this past Monday, you might’ve noticed something was missing…and no, not Sutton Foster’s clothes!

The lack of diversity within the cast is clearly noticeable, especially with its all-white group of dancers!

One TV bigwig has taken note of this and is now speaking, er, tweeting out!

Grey’s Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes took to her Twitter after the show’s debut earlier this week, saying:

“Hey @abcfbunheads: really? You couldn't cast even ONE young dancer of color so I could feel good about my kid watching this show? NOT ONE?”

Rhimes then went on to clarify that she didn’t mean white performers make her feel bad and that she also wasn’t picking on Bunheads and Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman-Palladino.

Shonda tweeted some more about the issue, stating:

“did love seeing girls of all shapes and sizes. That was great. Am a huge Gilmore Girls fan. Just pointing out one issue…”

Rhimes does make a good point, though. We DO need more diverse casts in TV AND film!!

Though if anyone’s going to complain about anything regarding the show's premiere, can we please bring up that ending?! Come ON!

Talk about cutting right to the chase! Ha!

We're definitely interested to see more of this show…and if any new characters get added into the mix!

This is SO disturbing.

It’s been reported that one of Nicki Minaj’s backup dancers has been arrested on suspicion of rape AND murder!!!

Supposedly, Nicola Furlong, a 21-year-old Irish foreign exchange student, attended one of Nicki’s shows in Tokyo last Wednesday and was found dead the next morning.

Nicola and her friend Sarah Maher had gone back to backup dancer James Blackston and musician Larry Perry’s hotel rooms after the show, when things took a turn for the worst.

Nicola was reportedly found strangled to death in the hotel room and Sarah, who

Because what this world needs is MORE reality television based around entertainment professionals!

The Oxygen network has approved Jennifer Lopez’s dance-centric reality show, starring beau Casper Smart.

The docu-style enterprise focuses on Jenny’s touring back-up dancers, led by Casper as head choreographer, and will delve into the intricacies of tour preparation.

Hmm… sounds sexy to say the least! The show should air early 2013.

Way to pimp out your honey, J.Lo!
