One Direction are featured as on of Barbara Walters' "10 Most Fascinating People Of 2012."

+ Directioners are well aware of One Direction's appeal, and Barbara Walters agrees. She's added them to her annual TV special, "Barbara Walters Presents: The 10 Most Fascinating People Of 2012." It airs Dec. 12 on ABC. (Just Jared Jr.)

+ Watch Nicki Minaj's refreshingly elegant (though NSFW) video for "Freedom."  The song is from Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded -- The Re-Up, which dropped yesterday. (Rap-Up)

+ Check out Florence + The Machine's emotive and moving video for "Lover to Lover." (Just Jared)

+ Blink-182 has announced the name of their forthcoming EP. Dogs Eating Dogs will be released digitally on Dec. 18 and will also be available bundled in a variety of holiday packages. (MTV News)

+ OK, so maybe we were a little jealous of the journos, MTV staffers, and fans tagging along on Rihanna's "777" Tour, but it appears the touring life hasn't been quite as glamorous as it initially sounded. (MTV News)

+ Is Jelena a thing again? Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez reportedly broke up last week, but then apparently met up for dinner on Friday, which went awry. However, they were spotted together a couple more times over the weekend. (MTV News)

+ Check out KeKe the Adopted Tabby Cat's (also known as KeKe the Based Cat) debut tune because it is amazing, and also because KeKe's apparently made history. According to owner Lil B (who's also the featured guest), KeKe's the "first animal in hip hop" to drop a song. (Pitchfork)
