Video Premiere: Miley Cyrus "We Can't Stop"

Miley Cyrus debuted her new video for the single "We Can't Stop," in which Cyrus sheds any glimmer of her early alter-ego Hannah Montana. In the video - which plays out much like the film Spring Breakers - Miley and her posse slither around a party doing abnormal, almost circus-like things, including a scene where the singer makes out with a doll in the pool.

Wait, you're still reading?!? After hearing about the doll scene?

Yeah, not much else to say after that, so just watch Cyrus and friends "twerk" around in the video premiere of "We Can't Stop" now and pick up the single on iTunes.

First Listen: Kelly Clarkson "Tie It Up"

America's first Idol, Kelly Clarkson, who has had multiplatinum success with pop anthems and power ballads, is tapping into her southern roots with her latest single "Tie It Up." The singer first hinted at a promising country career when she teamed up with her childhood idol - and future mother-in-law - Reba on the country legend's Duets record. Since then, the Texas-native has teamed with Jason Aldean for their massive hit "Don't You Wanna Stay" and with Vince Gill on the single "Don't Rush," which appeared on her Greatest Hits album last year.

Earlier this month, Clarkson took a break from recording her upcoming Christmas record to take the stage at CMA Fest at LP Field in Nashville. The crowd went wild as she delivered her biggest hits and then debuted her new country-fried single "Tie It Up." The single, out June 25th, is an homage to her upcoming nuptials to Brandon Blackstock - Reba's son-in-law and Blake Shelton's manager.

Take 5: Tiffany Houghton

1. Outside of music, what are three things you can't live without?

a. I absolutely love to read and I LOVE to write. Outside of music I would definitely say I couldn't live without a good book and my journals.
b. Protein smoothies. I get creative with them and drink one every morning. SO GOOD!
c. Guilty... my phone. I feel like I would be lying if I said I don't need this with me basically at all times. It's an attachment to my hand... 

2. You’ve spent time in both Nashville and LA, so what is your go-to footwear: cowboy boots or high heels?

Lately I love Chuck Taylors. I may or may not have 10 different colors of them in my closet...

3. What is your favorite ice cream flavor? And what kinds of toppings?

I'm obsessed with Pinkberry. OBSESSED. I would go there every single day and either get cookies and cream or chocolate hazelnut. If we're not talking Froyo then I would definitely say mint chocolate chip. So good. Growing up my dad and I used to meet downstairs in the kitchen after my mom had gone to bed and sneak a midnight ice cream cone. ;) We love ice cream.

4. What is your absolute favorite summer activity?

I love being on a boat - I love to slalom ski, wake board, and tube. I have so many fun summer memories of being on the lake.

5. Last question: One Direction or The Wanted? And why?

One Direction because they tell me I'm beautiful… or at least in their song they do <3
