Justin Bieber And Selena Gomez Spotted On Segway Date: Has Biebs Won His Ex Back?

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez were spotted riding segways in Sherman Oaks yesterday near Biebs' home, with rumours immediately suggesting that the pair may have managed to rekindle their romance and new reports now suggest that the on/off lovebird's romance meeting came after Justin spent the holidays trying to get his ex GF back. Justin and Selena were snapped together yesterday in Biebs' gated community in Calabasas and after spending months apart, it seems like Justin has finally gotten his way and reportedly managed to woo Gomez back. Selena and Justin are snapped on segways together (WENN) “During the holidays, Justin played on the emotions they have for each other and worked them to his advantage because who wants to be alone during the holidays?” a source tells HollywoodLife. They added: “Selena accepted his advances and invitations. She should really watch out though, he is definitely interested in Selena but not for all the right and gentleman type reasons.” Are Justin and Selena back together? (WENN) Justin may be riding ahead of the Come & Get It babe in the photo, but it seems like despite seemingly playing hard to get yesterday, the Baby superstar didn't waste any time in inviting the brunette over to his house when he knew that she was in town. “Justin started to invite her over when he knew she would be in town, now that she is taking time for herself,” the source reveals. “This isn’t the first time they have hung out recently at his place.”
So much for those "retirement" tweets: Justin Bieber reportedly has been spending his holiday working on new music in Toronto with producer Douglas Romanow. On New Year's Day, the producer tweeteda picture of himself and Bieber working in Romanow's Noble Street Studios. "Justin Bieber's retirement rumors are greatly exaggerated," he wrote, using the hashtag # bieberintoronto. "I've been recording him in Toronto." Justin Bieber and the Top Teen Idol Breakout Moments This, of course, proves that Bieber's recent promises about quitting the music industry were tongue-in-cheek. "My beloved beliebers I'm officially retiring," he tweeted on Christmas Eve, echoing a similar statement made during an interview with Power 106 radio. Only 45 minutes later, he followed with another tweetthat attacked the media's deception, while also telling his followers, "I'm never leaving you, being a belieber is a lifestyle." He then concluded with a Christmas-related tweet, adding "IM HERE FOREVER," and eventually transitioned back into promoting his latest movie,Believe, which opened on Christmas Day. Bieber's confusing Twitter spectacle was a fitting end to a year filled with bizarre PR disasters and awkward encounters. Earlier in 2013, he dealt with a backlash after appearing in a pot-smoking photo, passing outduring a London performance (while also threatening a photographer), making a highly inappropriate commentafter touring the Anne Frank house and defacing a photo of former president Bill Clinton. He also reserved a string of fiascos for his South American tour, during which he was charged for graffitiin Brazil, appeared in a bizarre videoof him sleeping next to a woman and defiled the Argentine flagduring a live performance. At least he has his musical mentor, Usher, on his side. "The beautiful part about it is that those that are invested in a long-term story, you understand that there are peaks and valleys in every person's life some," the R&B star recently told the Associated Press. "Unfortunately, the reality is he has to live with a camera in front of him, but what he chooses to do on or off camera is analyzed or scrutinized in some off way."

Kardashian and boyfriend, named 2013 worst celebrity neighbours

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have been named as the worst neighbours of 2013 in a new survey. The TV personality, Kardashian, and her rapper boyfriend, West, topped the list of celebrities Americans would rather not have as neighbours, according to a survey by real estate blog, Zillow. On the site’s annual Celebrity Neighbour Survey, one quarter of respondents claimed the couple, which is engaged to be married, made for the Worst Neighbours of 2013, bumping them up from second place last year. A mere two per cent of the Americans surveyed said they would enjoy living next to West and Kardashian in 2014. “No one wants to live next door to a family who has cameras following them everywhere and seems to seek out as much attention as possible,” Zillow Chief Marketing Officer Amy Bohutinsky said. “However, with more than one-third of surveyed Americans preferring a non-celebrity neighbour, what remains clear is that many people don’t want to live next to any celebrity, regardless of why they are famous.”According to the blog, though, those averse to West and Kardashian likely won’t have them for a neighbour unless they live next to the Bel-Air home the couple bought earlier this year. But outside of Bel-Air, prospective home owners are apparently also steering clear of homes next to music celebrities: Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, and Lady Gaga. The most desirable celebrity to live next to in 2013 was comedian, Jimmy Fallon, according to the survey. Eleven per cent of respondents said the Late Night host would make for an acceptable neighbour. Other popular prospective neighbours include Country music couple, Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton and Basketball star, Lebron James. Zillow, however, did not disclose how many people responded to its survey. In another development, Kardashian on Sunday posted a picture of a miniature black Lamborghini West bought for their six-month-old daughter, North West, for Christmas. The mini black sports car is an exact replica of West’s $750,000 car, and has the same paint finish. Kim posted the snap under the caption: “Like father, like daughter.” Kim Kardashian: A controversial beauty Kimberly Noel ‘Kim” Kardashian, better known as Kim Kardashian is a name that has garnered a lot of fame, albeit, controversially. Born October 21, 1980, the gorgeous American TV personality, actress and entrepreneur came into prominence through her then-friendship with Paris Hilton, the great-granddaughter of Conrad Hilton, the founder of Hilton Hotels and later, through a leaked scandalous sex tape showcasing her sexual exploits with her then-boyfriend, Ray J.

Her parents divorced in 1991 and her mother remarried to the 1976 Summer Olympics decathlon winner, Bruce Jenner, the same year. As a teenager, she attended Marymount High School, a Roman Catholic all-girls school in Los Angeles. In 1994, her father garnered public attention as the primary defence lawyer for football player, O.J. Simpson, during his murder trial. Robert died of esophageal cancer in September 2003. Kardashian married music producer, Damon Thomas, at age 20. Thomas filed for divorce in 2003, though Kardashian later credited their separation to physical and emotional abuse on his part. Prior to the finalisation of her divorce, Kardashian began dating singer, Ray J. In February 2007, the controversial sex tape made by Kardashian and Ray J in 2003 was leaked. Kardashian filed a lawsuit against Vivid Entertainment, which distributed the film as Kim K Superstar, and later dropped the suit and settled for $5m. In the same year her sex tape leaked to the public, Kardashian and her family were commissioned to star in the reality television series, Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

In all, she was wearing well over $10m worth of jewellery on her big day. Not to mention the $150,000 she spent on hair and makeup. After 72 days of marriage, Kardashian filed for divorce from Humphries, citing irreconcilable differences. Several news outlets surmised that Kardashian’s marriage to Humphries was merely a publicity stunt, to promote the Kardashian family’s brand and their subsequent television ventures. It was even said that Kardashian would do anything to stay in the news. It was later revealed that she had been dating American rapper, Kanye West, while she was legally married to Humphries. Kardashian is still dating West, with whom she has a daughter, North. The couple are engaged and planning to soon get married. A few days after Christmas, the couple were sighted along with some of Kardashian’s family members, catching a private jet to an exclusive ski resort in Aspen for vacation.

Saturday Beats brings you the details of the awards held in Lagos last week. As usual, late start Those who had expected that the event would start at the scheduled time, at least for once in its eight years of existence, were disappointed. It was totally absurd that an event scheduled to start by 6pm after an hour red carpet, didn’t kick off until about 11pm. Not a few were upset about that given the fact that the following day wasn’t a work free day. The event lasted till 2.15am the next day. Against all odds, the occasion turned out to be splendid with most of the guests beaming with smiles while leaving the hall. Technical hitches here and there There were embarrassing technical hitches that could have been easily avoided. The teleprompter wasn’t so cooperative, thereby putting presenters in a fix. On several occasions, there were technical difficulties with the sound and more often, visuals had problems as well. Burna Boy burns During the show, the host, Dr. Sid made a joke about Burna Boy and a camera man quickly caught the dark-skinned singer laughing. However, his countenance changed when he was not announced the winner of the Next Rated Award. The young man looked as if he was ‘burning’ with anger. It was alleged that he stormed out of the awards angrily. Sean Tizzle wins big, forms ‘political party’ Rave of the moment, Sean Tizzle was simply ecstatic. Anyway, who would blame him, winning the Next Rated category automatically made him a proud owner of a brand newHyundai Tucson SUV. Receiving his award, the excited young man prostrated as a sign of thanking his fans. He jokingly said that he was forming his own political party, STPP ‘Sean Tizzle Political party’. The energetic KSB Looking lovely in her flowing white attire, Kenny Saint Best’s smile only complemented her looks. She looked really bubbly and energetic that night as she accompanied Jaywon to pick his award. That was not all. When Mode9 was announced winner of a category, KSB got more excited than even the winner would have been. She jumped up as she heard his name and continued clapping hoping to stop when the rapper showed up. He never did. Efe Omoreigbe picked the award on his behalf. Olamide and Phyno, two musketeers Both known to be good friends, the two rappers won at the award night with Olamide taking three awards home. Their Ghost Mode fetched them an award at the Headies. And when they performed the song at the event, so many people appreciated them more and felt it was a well deserved award. Davido and his 10-man team Who doesn’t know Davido? The young man has become a household name in just a few years he joined the industry. Now, Davido has grown so ‘big’ that he has chosen to surround himself with numerous bodyguards. He had not less than 10 guys surrounding him that night. He also won an award at the event and the stage had to be cleared because he was expected to come with his large entourage. He did not disappoint as he came on stage with about nine other people to get his award. Blackmagic makes speedy recovery Dark-skinned singer Blackmagic was not present when he was called upon to receive his award. However, towards the end of the event, he showed up. He told the audience that he was ill and came to receive the award from his sick bed. He also said that was his first award and he dedicated it to his mother and fans. Nikki Laoye goes emotional She went off the music scene for about two years due to her father’s death. While receiving her award, Nikki Laoye said she went into depression when her father died and dedicated the award to her late father. She sang a song to God and also dedicated her awards to her husband and producer brother. Once again, KSB was present to support her.

Terry G is ANGRY: “I Wasn’tStoned On Stage” | Find OutWhy!

Terry G is shutting down rumours that he was injured when he recently took to the stage to perform. The Nigerian music star was billed to perform alongside Ice Prince and J Martins at the IBB Square, Malkurdi, Benue for a show. After Ice Prince wowed the crowd, it was time for the always energized performer to rock the stage. According to his publicist, after he performed his songs – Free Madness and Akpako Bombom, the anxious fans at the event were already crossing the barricade erected by the security officials. But by the time he delivered a fan favourite – Halleluyah, his overzealous fans who clearly love him as an indigene of the state, trooped to the stage and efforts by the security personnel to push them back resulted in a very physical protest. While the security continued to hit the protesting crowd, they responded by throwing objects back at them. This immediately prompted organizers of the event, to move Terry G, his crew and the other artistes from the scene. Due to this, J Martins couldn’t perform. “It is simply impossible for my fans, not even in my state where I’m being treated like a King to throw stones at me or chase me out of the stage, it’s not realistic. The problem was purely between the security guys and the audience, but for security reasons, I and the other artistes have to be taken out of the scene. Whoever is spreading the rumour that I was stoned is simply ignorant of what happened.”

Swift most charitable celebrity

Country-pop singer, Taylor Swift has been announced as the most charitable celebrity of 2013 by dosomething.org in their annual list. This is Swift's second year with the title. Some of her charitable deeds include a $100, 000 donation to the Nashville Symphony and headlining a benefit as well as a number of hospital visits. The runners-up for the title are the boys of One Direction (don't miss One Direction: Up All Night Live on MTV at 13:45 CAT on Wednesday, 1 January 2014) in second and then Beyonce. In other news, it seems fans of popstar, Justin Bieber are confused about if he is retiring from music or not. After being quoted in an interview about quitting music and then saying he was just kidding, Bieber has taken to Twitter. He tweeted on Christmas Eve, "Officially retiring.". Shortly afterward, however, he tweeted that he was "never leaving", adding "I'm here forever". So, do you think Bieber is just joking or really thinking of calling it quits? We have one final question, are Demi Lovato and Wilmer Valderrama engaged? Valderrama purchased a ring from Tiffany in November and rumors were that he would propose over Christmas. No words of an engagement announcement yet, but we're waiting to see what happens.

Justin Bieber's movie flop

Justin Bieber's latest documentary Believe was released on Christmas day and although his retirement announcement may have been a prank, it looks like he might have to stick to his words. The documentary is his second performance movie, while his first Never Say Never earned $70 million, the latest film is said to be lucky to reach $7 million. Being slated as the Baby singer's "first real commercial flop", industry insiders are asking if parents are keeping their children away from Bieber after some of his recent antics. A movie source said that Justin (who you can see perform in Justin Bieber: Around the World on M- Net Series Zone at 8:00 CAT on Friday, 3 January 2014 ) made his goal to show One Direction who the biggest pop act was, but judging by movie figures, One Direction came out on top, with their movie This Is Us earning $15.8 million in it's first few days.
