Eeeeee this is just SO awkward!!!

Justin Bieber had a VERY eventful evening during last night's Billboard Music Awards; not only did he catch a kiss from Selena Gomez AND put on multiple performances, he also won awards…

One of which was the first ever Milestone Award for musical ingenuity and innovation!

BUT, it seems the audience was NOT very happy that Biebs beat out Taylor Swift and Bruno Mars for the title, as he was BOOED while getting up on stage to accept the award AND when he wrapped up his VERY defensive acceptance speech!

Ch-ch-check out the cringe-worthy incident (above)!

Ooooof, and you can tell that when the booing starts, people from Bieber's camp try and cheer louder to mask it, which only makes it worse.

Hmmm we wonder if this mass negative reaction to Justin be about a certain abandoned monkey? Or are people getting tired of hearing him sing the word "baby" for the 1000th time?

And are you kidding us with this speech, Biebs? Way to NOT sound in the LEAST bit grateful… he even sounds pissed when he's thanking people!

Siiighhh. Well, whatever the reasons for JB's super strange speech, we are NOT impressed. And neither, it seems, was the crowd.

The magnificent beam of light that is Michelle Obama brought her enviable brainz to Eastern Kentucky University this past weekend to deliver the 2013 commencement address, and as usual, the First Lady DOMINATED.

Cue to 5:05 and watch Mrs. Obama's inspiring speech (above)!

As is her custom, Michelle's address is peppered with personal examples as a means to strengthen her arguments: arguments of perseverance, community, creativity, compassion and hope.

She challenges the graduates to really consider themselves — who they were as college students, who they are now, and who they want to be in the future.

Oh it makes us feel like we're graduating all over again, sniff!

Now that's our kind of confession! Demi Lovato isn't ashamed of her struggle with mental health issues- she's a survivor!

The former Disney star spoke openly and proudly about her addiction and depression for National Children's Mental Health Awareness Day.

But she wasn't always so proud! She says:

AWKWARD!

Jimmy Kimmel is one of the most HIGHlarious late night hosts around, but it seems getting in front of a ballroom of the world's most influential can make even the most experienced of entertainers nervous!

The usually funny man stood up to give a speech at the Time 100 Gala and BOMBED with only a few scattered, painful laughs.

Don't worry though because Jimmy Fallon was there to save the day!!!!

Jay Leno's replacement heard the other Jimmy's jokes tank, so he did what any good BFF would do: FED HIM ALCOHOL!

And the insanity that ensued with a little bit of liquid courage and a bestie TOTALLY makes up for the flat opening.

Ch-ch-check out the hysterically uncomfortable speech …AFTER THE JUMP!!!

Ruslan Tsarni, an uncle of the Boston bombing suspects, told the press his nephews deserve to die on Friday.

Telling them he was "absolutely shocked" and "absolutely devastated" when he realized Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev were the suspects, he said it was absolutely unbelievable in his family.

His anger quickly took control of him, as he began indignantly yelling during his time with the media, telling them:

"These are my nephews! My brother's sons. It's a big family … the parents are still in Russia. They are from a hard-working family who ran away. A good family. This is terrible. I have no sympathy for them. I hate them – they murdered people! … They're barbarians, wherever they are. They do not deserve to be on this earth. … What can I say? They murdered. … This is not a reflection of my family or of Islam. It is a reflection of stupidity."

His guess to the motive?

President Obama just gave an incredibly passionate speech during Boston's interfaith healing service.

Clocking in at 20 minutes, it's absolutely worth each heartfelt one. Seriously. He might be saying a lot of things that you expect someone in office to say after such a tragedy, but we truly get the feeling that our President believes every word he has to offer the city of Boston and the whole country about the events that shocked the world on Monday.

We are so glad he made the trip!

Please donate blood. Donate time. Donate money. Boston needs us all!

Two days after bombs exploded near the Boston Marathon finishing line — killing 3 and reportedly injuring nearly 200 — Michelle Obama took some time out of her visit to a U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD to address the horrific incident.

Watch the FLOTUS' inspiring, optimistic words (above).

Not only does Michelle send her condolences to all those hurt — physically and emotionally — by the explosions, she also emphasizes the fact that when abhorrent things like this happen in America, we are reminded of our nation's bravery and selflessness.

Props! Props to the First Lady!
