Another action-packed week is coming to a close, and if you're anything like the members of the MTV Newsroom staff, you've spent it getting excited for "The Runaways," watched a ton of basketball, prepared for the Winter Music Conference and listened to Justin Bieber's "U Smile" on constant repeat.
