Things are about to get trippy.
Lana Del Rey's 30-minute film "Tropico" is one-third acid trip, one-third biblical references and one-third Lana's soul.

The movie, which the singer wrote and stars in along with model Shaun Ross, premiered Wednesday night at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood, Calif. It is directed by Anthony Mandler, who is known for his work on Rihanna's music videos.

The storyline begins with Del Rey and Ross in the Garden of Eden as a scantily-clad Adam and Eve. They both dance to Del Rey's song "Body Electric" from her album Born to Die - Paradise Edition. Things get a little questionable when Jesus, John Wayne, Elvis, Marilyn Monroe and a unicorn watch from the sidelines as the couple (spoiler alert) partakes in the eating of the symbolic apple. You can't make this stuff up. The second song, "Gods and Monsters," is paired with a storyline of strippers, guns and robberies in modern-day Los Angeles. Things eventually calm down when the couple is transported to a picturesque field for Del Rey's romantic tune "Bel Air." After reaching redemption, the two end in a heaven, of sorts, to the backdrop of Wayne's "Always On My Mind." Along with debuting her film, Del Rey announced the name of her new album, "Ultra-Violence." No release date has been set for the upcoming album. Have something to add to this story?

The Queen's Pixie Beyonce sent Instagram into a panic when she sheared off her famous locks in August. But with the power of hair extensions, fans got all the royal hair flipping they needed from their Queen until the cut grew out later in the year. Image: @beyonce on Instagram 2. Miley's New Tat Shifting our attention to a completely different blond pixie cut, the Year of Miley has been full of shocking exploits. Her biggest Instagram moment, however, was the unveiling of this tattoo commemorating her Rolling Stone cover story. The picture was posted in the heyday following her VMA's performance. Image: @mileycyrus on Instagram 3. Ke$ha's Seductive Curtain Pic Like a modern-day Scarlett O'Hara, Ke$ha knows how to work a curtain. This seductive shot stands out from the pop star's otherwise (surprisingly) PG Instagram feed. Image: @iiswhoiis on Instagram 4. The Fall of Amanda Bynes Although most of her breakdown occurred on Twitter, Instagram users could still follow some of the Amanda Bynes drama of 2013 (without having to keep track of the Bynes/Drake relationship ups and downs). Most of the pictures on her account are inspirational quotes, but there is the occasional selfie, as well as several totally random shot, including a shoe or red-filtered cleavage.

Rhianna's Strip Club Pics Everyone's favorite good girl-gone-bad has plenty of scantily clad selfies to shock more conservative Instagram users, but her strip club party pics certainly took the cake this year.

If her well-placed locks are still covering too much, you could try the pasties version. Image: @nickiminaj on Instagram 7. Nick Jonas' Surprisingly Buff Selfie The baby Jonas Brother shared this pic in July, revealing an unexpectedly buff bod and causing many tweens to reconsider which JoBro was their favorite. He captioned the photo: "I never do this but... Healthy living and fitness update. Post workout picture. #diabeticinshape #2.0" Image: @nickjonas on Instagram 8. Kim K's Post Baby Body The best part of this racy, #NoFilter selfie from a post-baby Kim K? Kanye's response. He immediately reposted the pic via Twitter and added "HEADING HOME NOW." Image: @kimkardashian on Instagram 9. Donald Glover's Troubling Messages In October, Community star Donald Glover (also known as Childish Gambino) posted a series of messages detailing his own fears and battles with depression and loneliness.

Lady Gaga's Lyrics In the countdown for her ARTPOP album release earlier this year, Lady Gaga posted a picture of lyrics from her song "Dope." The lyrics were supposed to raise excitement about the album, but instead led to Instagram sending Gaga a message of concern, offering safety information to the pop star. The message read: "Hi, Members of the Instagram community have raised concern for your well-being after seeing posts you’ve shared. We’re reaching out to provide you with some important safety information." Gaga mocked the message on her Twitter, saying: "what the actual hell. hahahaha."
