Scooter Braun is a dad again

Scooter Braun has become a father for the second time.

The 35-year-old talent manager – whose clients include Justin Bieber and Usher – and his wife Yael Cohen Braun welcomed baby Levi into the world on Tuesday (29.11.16), and the new arrival has gone some way towards helping the family over their grief for Scooter’s grandmother, who passed away last month.

Sharing a picture of Yael nursing Levi in hospital while he looked on, Scooter – who also has son Jagger, 22 months, with his spouse – wrote on Instagram on Wednesday (30.11.16): "Earlier this month we lost my Ma. Then 4 hours later my brother and his wife had twins. Then last night my incredible @yael gave birth to our new son Levi Magnus Braun.

"Words can’t express the range of emotions…but one thing I know for sure…G-d is Great. Mommy, Jagger, and myself couldn’t be more in love with our new little guy. I have to believe that somewhere up above Ma is smiling. So damn thankful. #familyisforever .

"PS- thanks for all the kind wishes since @jackie couldn’t help herself and tweeted about Levi lol (sic)"

He then shared another image, which was simply the words ‘God is Great’ written in the sand and captioned it: "There’s no doubt."

Scooter’s happy news came just 10 days after he shared a touching tribute to his grandmother following her passing, and pledged both his children would always "know" his ‘Ma’.

He wrote: "I don’t know where to start. This morning the world lost one of the great ones. There was no one like her. No one. She loved regardless of all the hate she witnessed in her life. She made everyone smile and she gave and gave and gave and never asked for anything but love in return. The world needed people like Ma more than ever right now. I won’t ever let her be forgotten. I will keep my promise. Yael and I promise our children will know her. I was so blessed to call myself your grandson. I love you Ma. Thank you. I will miss you so much. I’m afraid to stop typing because I just don’t want to admit you are gone. For all the lives touched by this hero you know you are better for it."

Justin Bieber slams Instagram

Justin Bieber thinks Instagram is "the devil".

The ‘Sorry’ singer quit the photo-sharing app in August and has insisted he has no desire to return to the social media site because it is like being in "hell".

Speaking on stage in London on Tuesday (11.29.16), he said:

"Instagram is for the devil. I think Hell is Instagram. I’m like 90 percent sure.

"We get sent to hell and we get locked in the Instagram server. I’m stuck in the DMs. I’m trying to climb my way out and I can’t."

Justin initially made a brief return to Instagram two weeks after he quit the site in August following a row with ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez, but he later deactivated his account again.

The ‘As Long As You Love Me’ hitmaker opted to close down his profile when he feuded with the 23-year-old pop star over a comment he made about his fans being mean to the people he likes.

He wrote at the time: "I’m gonna make my Instagram private if you guys don’t stop the hate this is getting out of hand, if you guys are really fans you wouldn’t be so mean to people that I like (sic)"

However, Selena wasn’t impressed and posted to her former lover: "If you can’t handle the hate then stop posting pictures of your girlfriend lol – it should be special between you two only. Don’t be mad at your fans. They love you (sic)."

And Justin, 22, soon fired back: "It’s funny to see people that used me for attention and still try to point the finger this way. Sad. All love. I’m not one for anyone receiving hate. Hope u all can be kind to my friends and each other. And yes I love my beliebers (sic)."

The former couple then went on to accuse each other of cheating, with Justin ending the argument by writing: "I cheated…Oh and I forgot about you and Zayn (sic)"

However, later on, Selena admitted she regretted the online spat, telling her Snapchat followers that "what she said was selfish and pointless".

Justin Bieber fan could press charges

A fan who claims to have been punched by Justin Bieber been told by local police that he can press charges against the singer.

The 22-year-old singer was was caught on camera seemingly striking an unnamed male through the open window of his car as he arrived at the Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona, Spain, for the latest show on his ‘Purpose’ tour on Tuesday (11.22.16), and the young man has been advised by the regional police of Cataluna, the Mossos d’Esquadra that he could take action over the incident.

However, the fan – who lives in the Spanish city of Mataró and whose initials are K.R.- admitted to radio station Los 40 principales that he has yet to decide as to whether he will press charges.

The man said he was "upset" by the incident, and revealed he had visited hospital after the altercation, where he received an official report on the injuries he had received, including a bloody lip.

The incident comes a few weeks after the troubled UK leg of Justin’s tour, in which he repeatedly blasted his fans for being "obnoxious" and screaming too loudly, even leaving the stage in protest at one of the shows in Manchester, North West England.

But he later posted a heartfelt message trying to justify his actions.

Alongside a caption that read "Tonight on stage. Thank you", the ‘Believe’ hitmaker posted a picture of text that read: "People tend to want to shut you down. What I mean by that is … people try to twist things, some people don’t want to listen. But I simply feel like, if I didn’t use this platform to say how I truly feel, and if I didn’t use this platform to be the man that I know I am, and speak from what’s in my heart, then I’m doing myself injustice, and I’m not doing anybody in this audience any justice.

"There’s going to be times where I say the wrong thing, because I’m human. But I don’t pretend to be perfect and I hope to God that, you know, I don’t say the right thing all the time because if that was the case then I’d be a robot, and I’m just, I’m not a robot. There’s times when I get upset … times when I get angry, there’s times when I’m going to be frustrated. But I’m always going to be myself on this stage.

"When people try to twist things and say ‘Justin’s angry at his fans. He doesn’t want his fans to scream’ that’s not at all what I was doing. All I was simply doing was wanting people to listen; to kind of hear me out a little bit. Certain people … certain cities aren’t going to want to hear me out, and you know, sometimes it’s my job to just say ‘Hey, I’m not going to try to force anything’. I just appreciate you guys tonight, listening to me and understanding, and rocking with me. You guys are truly amazing."

Cruz’s mother Victoria Beckham unveiled a recording of him singing the track on her Twitter account on Monday (11.21.16) linking to the 11 year old up’s SoundCloud account which he intends to use to help him launch a pop career.

Cruz uploaded the song on Saturday (19.11.16) but is yet to share any more of his tunes.

Victoria and her husband David Beckham – who also have three other kids, Brooklyn, 17, Romeo, 14, and five-year-old Harper – only noticed Cruz had a talent for singing a few months ago when she heard him singing along to the radio while sitting in the back of the family car.

The Spice Girls star said: "He’s always the one that plays football, and he was just singing in the back of the car one day. And he was singing, and I was like, ‘Wow, you can really sing.’ And then he picked up his cups and off he went."

The entire Beckham family are fans of Justin and David, 41, took all his kids to see his concert at The O2 in London back in October.

Lewis Hamilton and Winnie Harlow make music together

Lewis Hamilton and girlfriend Winnie Harlow have recorded a song together.

The Formula 1 ace and the 22-year-old model headed to Tinie Tempah’s London studio last week to put some beats down on a tune because the 31-year-old racing car driver thought she would be a "good influence" to help him kick-start his pop career.

A music source said: "Lewis has been trying for years to make a hit and invited Winnie down to the studios to act as his muse – just like a photographer or artist would when they are creating.

"She’s from Canada and it’s all about Canadian vibes right now with Drake and Justin Bieber dominating the charts.

"Lewis thought she’d be a good influence.

"They were both there and playing music and putting down their beats."

However, it’s not known when fans will ever hear the song, but he is said to be pleased with the collaboration with the brunette star, who he has been romantically linked to for two months.

The source added to The Sun newspaper: "There are no plans for release yet but everyone in the studio was really impressed.

"It’s a very exciting time for Lewis."

This comes after Lewis – who dated former Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger on and off for eight years – took singing lessons late last year in a bid to perfect his vocal range.

A source said at the time: "Lewis is very savvy and wants to be the best at everything he does – even when it comes to his music.

"He’s got a vocal coach who does exercises with him and teaches him how to keep his voice in the best condition."
