Did You Hear?

:: Miley Cyrus tells Teen Vogue that she and her boyfriend/co-star Liam Hemsworth are “deeper than normal people.” We’re still waiting for Teen Vogue to publish Miley’s thoughts on the apparent contradictions in Nietzsche’s arguments about perspectivism and universal truth. [Just Jared]

:: D’Angelo went and got himself arrested for offering an undercover policewoman $40 for oral sex. We’re less disappointed that he got arrested than we are that he’s evidently a cheap bastard. [Vulture]

:: The Temper Trap tune “Sweet Disposition” (you know, the one that has appeared in various movies and commercials, including a Diet Coke ad that aired during Sunday’s Oscar telecast) is so massively overplayed, it’s only a matter of time before it gets butchered to death during a group number on American Idol. [EW Music Mix]

:: Roger Ebert gives Drake a “thumbs up” for the shout-out on his single “Over.” Great. Can’t wait to hear Kanye drone on and on about Leonard Maltin on his next album. [Rap-Up]

:: Music videos serve as more than just the arty packaging for product placement — they can also make us laugh. Check out the list of the Top 5 Music Videos With Comedian Cameos. [MTV Buzzworthy]

After the jump: we get hypnotized by the late Biggie Smalls.

VIDEO REWIND OF THE DAY: Thirteen years ago today, Christopher Wallace (aka the Notorious B.I.G.) was gunned down in Los Angeles at the age of 24. The Brooklyn rapper’s ironically-titled sophomore album, Life After Death, hit record shops a week after his passing and went on to be a huge commercial success. Since then, Biggie Smalls has released three posthumous albums — two LPs composed of previously unreleased and unfinished material, and one greatest hits compilation. (His murder remains unsolved). Take a look back at Biggie’s glossy music video for 1997’s chart-topping “Hypnotize,” featuring Diddy Puff Daddy. With this hit (which never really went away but restored to full glory as the theme song of the 2009 biopic Notorious), Biggie became the fifth artist in history to have a posthumous release hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, right after Otis Redding, Janis Joplin, Jim Croce and John Lennon.

Have a great day!
