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.

“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.”

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. Kardashian is also known for her successful workout videos and lavish lifestyle.
The sexy celebrity was born in Los Angeles, California to parents, Kris (née Houghton) and Robert Kardashian. 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. Its success has led to the creation of spin-offs including Kourtney and Kim Take New York and Kourtney and Kim Take Miami. In 2010, Kardashian was named the highest-paid reality television personality, with estimated earnings of $6m.Celebri tynetworth.comput Kardashian’s networth at $40m as at 2013. The celebrity also co-owns a garments boutique named “D-A-S-H” with her sisters, and has released a range of clothing lines and fragrances, which prove her entrepreneurial abilities.
In May 2011, she became engaged to NBA player, Kris Humphries, then of the New Jersey Nets, whom she had been dating since October 2010. They were married in an extravagant wedding ceremony on August 20, 2013 in California. At the wedding, Kardashian donned a $2.5m 65 carat sparkling diamond headpiece by Lorraine Schwartz, a $2m 20.5 carat diamond engagement ring, and 28 carat diamond earrings worth $5m. 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.
Kardashian and West are often seen by the media and the public as two of a kind, with their extravagant lifestyles.
Apart from being a rapper, West is also a famous producer as he rose in fame as a producer for Roc-A-Fella Records.
Recently, West bought two armoured vehicles said to have cost $1.2m each to protect Kardashian and their baby daughter. The public had wondered if the couple had received kidnapping threats due to their high profile status.
Kardashian and West also purchased a house reportedly worth $11m earlier last year. As part of the renovation process, the interior of the entire mansion has been torn down and plans are afoot to increase the total living space from 10,000 square feet to 14,000 square feet. The mansion is currently undergoing renovations which include ripping out wrought iron staircases, chandeliers and fittings – to make way for a more modern feel to their home. West’s tastes meant additional costs for gold-plated bogs worth $487,000 and luxury beds worth $75,000.The couple plan to add top of the line luxury amenities like a basketball court, bowling alley, hair and makeup salon, movie theatre, fitness centre, baby nursery and indoor swimming pool in the future.
The couple were recently singled out by President Obama for their opulent lifestyle warping the American dream.
The pretty actress seems to be quite fond of expensive cars, as, she owns a bunch of them. Kardashian bought a white Ferrari 458 Italia in 2011 for a hefty $325,000, adding up another classy ride to her existing pricey collection. She also owns a 2010 Maserati GranTurismo, a Convertible Bentley GTC Continental, a 4.8-litre twin-turbo V8 Porsche Panamera Turbo, a 2010 Range Rover. She once owned a white Rolls Royce Ghost which was subsequently traded for a newer model and black coloured Rolls Royce Phantom Series II car in December 2012 for $405,000.
Kardashian bought her 2013 Mercedes G63, worth $150,000, when the posh vehicle was yet to be released or even reached showrooms. The beauty wasted no time in bragging about her new purchase to her fans on the social media, tweeting ‘Got the first one!’ along with pictures of the vehicle.
Kardashian also enjoys vacationing as she has been sighted in tourist destinations like La Romana in Dominican Republic, charming Paradise Island in the Bahamas, Punta Mita in Mexico and Anguilla, a Caribbean Island. She has often been spotted on several occasions carrying Hermes Birkin bag, which is her favourite bag brand. An avid bag collector, Kardashian owns a collection of bags, with estimated price in millions of dollars. She once went shopping with her mother, while she was in Paris, where they spent more than $100,000 purchasing seven Hermes bags including an infrequent “crocodile skin version”, at one of the brand’s boutique

It has been an amazing year for the Nollywood
superstar; dusting herself from depression, she
got everyone buzzing with her songs, movies and
relationship status.

where the voting took place but Poko was happy
for the honour.

The Headies extravaganza!
The Headies 2013 has come and gone but the memories still linger, perhaps till the next edition.
Expectedly, it was an evening of glamour, tension, joy and of course music and more music.
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.
The distinctive Clarence Peters
From his works, you would deduce that the video director is one that strives to be unique. He won in the Video Director of the Year category where he had two entries. He was the only one that had two entries in one category.

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.”

delegation of the Road Transport Employers
Association of Nigeria (RTEA) led by their
President Musa Isiwele, commended them on the
acceptance of the new auto policy of government
stating that "you are the most important body.
I'm pleased with your position, we cannot come
up with policy that will punish Nigerians else I will
abort it immediately".
He noted that Nigerian currently losses $4 billion
to importation of cars but by the time that is
spent on assembling and manufacturing it will
create jobs .
The President also noted that greatness of the
country was not in the abundance of its oil, but in
its diversity and this must be exploited to the
maximum to develop the country.

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

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.
