You better Belieb it

Wed, 30/05/2012 - 16:24 by Peter Meehan Selena Gomez should consider herself lucky, mainly because she has a boyfriend in the shape of Justin Bieber. The man who would be willing to attack photographers for her honour. Oh Selena, you don't know how lucky you are.

Selena probably won't take our word for it, but what about renowned lover of women and mover of legs, Usher? 

Yes, Usher has declared that Justin Bieber is better at the relationships than he, when discussing Bieber's boyfriend abilities to Q Magazine, Usher explained:

"Check it out, in the area of relationships, Justin has actually done a lot better than I did. He doesn't have as many issues. He knows what he wants. 

"What were my issues? Well, maybe me not locking into one relationship. I was a little bit more experimental.

Oh Usher, you cad.

"I've had many women and I understand how to deal with a lot of different ones.

"He understands, this is a woman I'm choosing to deal with and these are the women that are there. But it is complicated, when your reality is a fantasy. Fame is the modern double-edged sword."

Justin Bieber is experiencing this first-hand at the moment, when the very photographers who are trying to take pictures of him to sell for loads of money, are now threatening to sue him.

At least he has Usher, and God. Although, according to Usher, God has played his part and now is time to take a step back:

"God did a great thing placing us in each other's lives. Because there is a world of experience only I can share with him."

THOSE WERE THE BEST 15 SECONDS OF OUR LIVES

Fri, 01/06/2012 - 11:12 by John Hill Apparently both Justin Timberlake and Usher were present at Justin Bieber's popstar conception (popstar conception), and if MTV is to Bieberlieved (see what we did there?), Timberlake was within a hair's breadth of gaining a controlling stake in the precocious little ratbag before finally being outdone by Usher. Can you imagine how different things could have been if he'd won? How much better?

Oh baby, baby, baby. Unfortunately that's not how things went down yo, and now, instead of a charming crooner with magical feet, we've got a cheeky little sod whose ego is threatening to put even Bono's to shame. Yay! Another, bigger Bono! What more could the world want? Two Sean Penns perhaps? Or how about disposable plates made of dog poo?

Anyway, this story isn't about Bieber's past, but Bieber's present, and in his present he's becoming clumsier and more lethargic as the huge ego we mentioned actually starts to take physical form, pressing on the back of his eyes and blurring his vision to the point where, at a concert last night in Paris, he fell into a glass wall. Yep, that's right, A CELEBRITY FELL OVER AGAIN. CALL THE FUNNY PAPERS (Via TMZ)

Leave it to Bieber

Thu, 21/06/2012 - 12:32 by Becca Day-Preston Over the weekend, Justin Bieber was really dead chuffed to receive the Ur Fave Artist award at the Much Music Awards in his native Canada. He then almost instantly gave the award away to a Belieber.

Not because he’s a nice, sweet, share-the-love kinda guy, you understand. It was an accident, because he thought the fan was an awards show official. So, he palmed it off on her to make it easier for him to navigate his way through throngs of misguided, screaming girls. When he realised his mistake, he didn’t just shrug and go

Not Baby. Not Baby. Not Baby.

Thu, 19/07/2012 - 09:51 by John Hill A Justin Bieber article we wrote a couple of years ago has become our equivalent of the wall next to the urinals. People come, scrawl 'Justin is a cunt' or 'Stupid little faggot' on it and then leave, happy that they've righted a wrong. 

Which is a bit weird, because if we ever write anything bad about One Direction or The Wanted everyone immediately rushes to their defence. Why are they so different from Justin Bieber? Surely it's a pretty similar audience. Originally we thought it might just have been because he's not as big over here and no-one really cares enough to hate or love him, but that doesn't seem to be the case. We honestly have no idea what's going on. Maybe Bieber fans are just more resilient.

Or perhaps they're just more mature than your average teenage fan. They've simply got no time for all this internet silliness, tomfoolery and dilly-dallying. That Johnson deal won't close itself, IF YOU KNOW WHAT WE MEAN. Business is business, you've got to spend money to make money. Either way, it certainly seems like Justin is more mature these days. Much more mature. 

In fact, he's not just more mature, he's now a real man. Pubes? Check. Girlfriend? Check. Car? Check. Handlers who constantly surround him to make sure he doesn't say anything ridiculous? Check. Yup, he's a man alright. (Via Rolling Stone)

Is manager Scooter Braun encouraging sexual violence between his clients?

Tue, 28/08/2012 - 07:27 by Tim Chipping We've spent the morning reading an incredibly long but fascinating interview with Scooter Braun, the ridiculously named college dropout who discovered Justin Bieber and is now managing terrible UK boy group The Wanted. Buried in the first few thousand words of The New Yorker's expose is an inexplicably strange and disturbing incident in which the manager appears to encourage the band to punch his multi millionaire protégé in the gonads. We can't wait for this to come out in court in a few years time...

As you'd hope, there are several nuggets of astonishingness in the interview, not least what Braun informed Bieber, at the start of their professional relationship:

"When he was thirteen, I said, 'If you stop singing, if you never dance again, if you never play again, I'm going to be in your life.' "

We don't think it was meant to be the sinister threat it comes across as in print. Or was it?
The magazine also documents a strained and troubling encounter between his young ward and the band who aren't as successful as One Direction, The Wanted, before an interview with Carson Daly:

"Bored, Bieber started a game, playfully jabbing everyone in the crotch with his fist. First, he jabbed at Braun, who, without looking up from the script, dropped his hands to block. Daly did the same. When Bieber jabbed at Siva Kaneswaran, a member of the Wanted, he connected. He called out, 'Got you, bro.' Kaneswaran balled his fist but seemed unsure how to respond. 'I don't want to hurt his pretty face,' he said.

Braun said, 'Just get him in the pretty balls. It's fair game.'

'No, it's not,' Bieber said.

Braun took a firm tone. 'Justin, it is - fair game,' he said. 'You hit him in the balls, fair game.'

Bieber was peeved. 'Where're we going?' he asked. 'Where's my dressing room?'"

We really don't know what to make of that. Bieber refers to his relationship with Braun as being "like a close uncle."  Hmm. We've all had one of those uncles.

Perhaps more revealing is the cold hard business deal the pair have between them, in which Justin receives a whopping cut of the profits from any new Scooter-signed act, in return for pretending he's their best friend:

"When Braun signed Carly Rae Jepsen, he gave Bieber a fifty-per-cent cut. Braun told him, 'We'll be partners. But you're going to do your part, being a loudspeaker: put her on your tour, sing a song with her.' And Bieber obeyed. The homemade video of him horsing around to Jepsen's Call Me Maybe got forty-eight million views and made the song catch fire. Last month, he tweeted to introduce the world to Braun's newest client, Madison Beer, a thirteen-year-old singer who resembles a baby Megan Fox. Within minutes, her name was trending worldwide."

So that's what pop music's like now. Great.

Stranger things have happened

Wed, 24/10/2012 - 09:55 by John Hill Justin Bieber and Usher are being sued in Michigan by a man claiming to be Selena Gomez' father, who says Bieber used his credit card to buy Viagra while Usher bummed him (not Bieber) with a firework. Now you might think this story sounds a little unlikely, and possibly even untrue, but the attention to detail is astonishing and making it almost certainly legitimate.

Naturally, there's more stuff in the lawsuit that we can't publish here (partly because we haven't seen the whole thing yet), but here are the bits that really caught our eyeballs:

"Bieber has cost me $426.78 and never paid me back. This money was used as abortion money because Justin Bieber got my daughter Selena pregnant in my bedroom, on my canadian bear rug."

Baby, baby, baby, OH. Like, baby, baby, baby, NO!

Mon, 12/11/2012 - 15:51 by Becca Day-Preston Sad news, guys. Sad news. Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez have broken up. The cold, cruel world was too dark and forbidding for their beautiful, fragile love. Don't weep for them; they only want to be allowed to remember the glowing moments of their time together, as it turns to ashes in their hands.

Seriously, though, who gives a shit? They didn't even have a good portmanteau: 'Jelena' sounds like a treatment for, like, thrush or something.

According to A Source, our favourite, the lovebirds broke up in November because of trust issues: (via Us Magazine)

He was later joined by Nicki Minaj for their upbeat collaboration, “Beauty & the Beat.”

Selena Gomez Visits Emergency Room For Possible Strep Throat

(GettyImages.com)

Selena Gomez is having a rough couple of days.

In the midst of all of her relationship drama with Justin Bieber, the singer-actress visited the emergency room at an L.A. hospital on Monday to be tested for strep throat, Gossip Cop confirms.

Gomez had been suffering from a sore throat on Sunday, and presumably didn’t get much rest as she was spotted out at an American Music Awards after-party with Bieber that night.

Gossip Cop is told she was tested for strep, and is feeling better now.

In June 2011, Gomez hospitalized for malnourishment and exhaustion after an appearance on the “Tonight Show.”

Justin Bieber Will NOT Be Charged For Paparazzi Photographer Incident

(GettyImages.com)

Justin Bieber will not be charged for his scuffle with a paparazzi photographer in Los Angeles last May.

The pop star encountered the photog after leaving a movie theater with Selena Gomez on May 27, and although reports of what actually transpired were conflicting, police asked prosecutors to consider filing a misdemeanor battery charge against Bieber.

But investigators found no evidence of visible injuries to the paparazzo, nor were any eyewitness accounts able to corroborate the claim that Bieber had hit or kicked the man, who called 911 and filed a police report.

Therefore, the Los Angeles District Attorney will NOT be filing criminal charges against Bieber.

Justin Bieber Opens Up on Selena Gomez, Marriage, Being Depressed on Next Chapter

(Facebook)

Justin Bieber talked about dating Selena Gomez and the possibility of getting married in a revealing pre-split interview on “Oprah’s Next Chapter.”

In the intimate chat, which aired Sunday but was taped weeks before the couple called it quits, 18-year-old Bieber spoke about his desire to get married by age 25.

“We’ll see when I get there. I’m not there yet,” Bieber said of his goal.

But when Oprah discouraged the idea and told him to enjoy his twenties, the pop star conceded that he “should probably listen” to her.

And even though the singer’s mom was the age he is now when she gave birth to him, Bieber said, “I couldn’t imagine having a baby right now. It’d be crazy. I’m not ready for that.”

When asked about Gomez, Bieber unabashedly praised his then-girlfriend.

“I feel like she’s one of the most genuine people,” he said. “She just has a good heart. I can talk to her about everything.”

Bieber also opened up about the price of fame, only having three “really close friends,” and sometimes being “lonely” and “depressed.”

“Not like super, super, super depressed,” he clarified, “but I get days where I’m just down and gloomy, just because I’m human.”

He continued, “Some days you just feel what you’ve gone through. You just have pain in your heart because maybe you haven’t dealt with

Justin Bieber Booed at CFL Grey Cup Halftime Show? (VIDEO)

(YouTube)

Justin Bieber performed at halftime of the Grey Cup on Sunday, but fans at the Canadian Football League championship game in Toronto were less than enthusiastic about the pop star.

VIDEO BELOW

After reportedly booing The Biebs when his picture was shown on the JumboTron, the crowd booed again during his renditions of “Boyfriend” and “Beauty and a Beat.”

It’s difficult to discern the boos in footage from the television broadcast of the game (videos below), but it’s certainly true that the teen idol was not performing for his typical audience when he stepped on stage midway through the clash between the Toronto Argonauts and Calgary Stampeders.

But if Bieber felt snubbed, he didn’t indicate it on Twitter.

“Honored to perform for my country,” tweeted the singer right after the show. “#ProudCanadian. Good luck in the second half, thanks.”

Justin Bieber Making Selena Gomez Sick?

(GettyImages.com)

Justin Bieber might be making Selena Gomez sick, claims In Touch.

The tabloid says the drama surrounding the on-and-off couple “is affecting Selena, both emotionally and physically.”

As evidence, In Touch cites Gomez’s recent hospital visit for a sore throat.

“She’s made three trips to a health care facility in just the past year, and the stress of her tumultuous relationship with Justin is getting to her,” explains an “insider” for the magazine.

Wait, so going to the doctor three times in 12 months means Gomez is “at the breaking point,” as the tabloid alleges?

According to the In Touch source, “Nothing ignites Selena’s health issues like Justin’s immaturity. Selena’s devastated. It’s sad.”

And even if the couple makes a long-term reconciliation, Gomez’s health is at risk while Bieber’s on tour, claims the mag.

“She’s having a hard time dealing with the distance between her and Justin,” a different “source” tells In Touch.

The tab’s insider declares, “The best thing for everyone is for Selena to focus on her health and for Justin to either be 100-percent devoted to her or end it. This can’t go on.”

Nor can the tabloid’s outlandish claims about Bieber and Gomez.

There’s been a lot of empty speculation in the gossip press about the stars in the past few weeks, but alleging that Bieber is pushing Gomez to the brink in terms of her physical wellness is making us a bit nauseous.

In Touch and other outlets are in the business of reading extra meaning into every little thing either Bieber or Gomez does, which is how her completely unrelated medical issue last week is being turned into a Bieber story.

A source close to the actress tells Gossip Cop there’s “absolutely no truth” to the report.

Ever Wanted to Share a Bed with Justin Bieber? New Sex Doll Could Be Answer to Your Prayers

File this under “Yuck!”

Admit it, you’ve been crushing on Justin Bieber ever since the first time you heard him croon “Baby.” And in news that will almost certainly result in a mayjuh legal rumble for the pop tart, sex-charged Beliebers could find themselves romping with the Well-Coiffed One.

It’s all thanks to an online adult store determined to cash in on “Beaver Fever” with the introduction of a controversial new sex doll.

Oh brother…

The aptly named “Just-in-Beaver” is marketed to ladies and gays. The packaging provides a dash of comic relief (as if its very existence isn’t comedy enough), coming complete with a box blasting the taglines “I’m not gay! (OK maybe a lil’)” and “I wanna be your boy toy!”

The love doll is the brainchild of Pipedream Productions, the adult novelty company behind XXX-rated inflatable caricatures of Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce and most recently Miley Cyrus. Not pleased to be in the presence of such divas, a furious Cyrus hit the roof when she learned that Pipedream was using her likeness to line their pockets.

Her lawyers quickly put together a defamation of character suit against the brand, seeking an unspecified sum in damages and suspension of the doll’s sales. The product was eventually discontinued.

We suspect “Just-in Beaver” will meet a similar fate — so better stock up while the gettin’s good. The Justin Bieber Sex Doll is currently on sale and retails for about $26.

Splitsville for Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez

It’s curtains for one of Tinseltown’s cutest couples. Start your engines, Beliebers: The blogosphere is buzzing with the dish that Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez have split.

“They broke up about a week ago. Because of their crazy schedules, it was getting harder and harder to maintain a relationship,” an informant told People magazine Friday.

Bieber, 18, and Gomez, 20, went public with their romance in February 2011. The teen twosome made headlines when they showed up hand and hand at the star-studded Vanity Fair Oscars Afterparty.

Selena made no reference to a breakup during her recent interview withCosmopolitan magazine but did touch on dealing with Bieber’s notoriously rabid fans:

“I adore his fans. I would never, ever want to disrespect them. You know, I get it.”

In news that should surprise absolutely no one, the teen heartthrob is wasting no time putting himself back on the market. Bieber raised eyebrows on Thursday night when he was seen at a showing of Broadway’s The Lion King with 19-year-old Victoria’s Secret model Barbara Palvin. The “Boyfriend” singer met the budding catwalker when he performed at the 2012 VS Show the night before.

Newly-Single Selena Gomez Steps Out Without Justin Bieber

Selena Gomez dazzled at Glamour’s Women of the Year Awards in New York City on Monday night, seemingly showing ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber exactly what he’s missing in the wake of their recent split.

The newly single Selena was all smiles as she walked the red carpet in a white, lacy peplum dress with a deep v-neck and matching pumps. The magazine’s December cover girl also brought the sass, posing in more than a few light-hearted poses.

“Selena broke up with Justin about a week ago. It’s been a really challenging experience over the last year because of their crazy schedules,” an insider told Us Weekly over the weekend. “Selena definitely had some major trust issues with Justin.”

The pair have reportedly been on a romantic rollercoaster — and faced more than a couple break up rumors through their two-year courtship.

One of those rumours started when Justin shot an episode of MTV Punk’d with Miley Cyrus earlier this year. Snoopsters tell RadarOnline.com that Selena was furious and it was the first time the couple broke up.

“Justin did the show anyways, which didn’t sit very well with Selena. He’s been continually choosing work over Selena and she’s finally had enough.”

This time around some very sexy Angels might be to blame. Selena reportedly lost it when she saw photos of Justin surrounded by sexy models at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show last week.

Meanwhile, Justin — who was originally said to be planning to do everything he could to win Selena back — is now said to be tempted to make the most of his bachelorhood after becoming close to a number of the gorgeous models.
