Justin Bieber thanks God for award win

Justin Bieber has thanked God for his iHeartRadio Awards win.
The ‘Sorry’ hitmaker – who went on a spiritual break last year – scooped the Male Artist of the Year accolade at the glamorous event, held at The Forum in California last night (04.03.16), and believes he owes a lot of his recent success to his faith because it has helped him turn his life around.
Taking to the stage to pick up his gong, the 21-year-old singer – who also picked up the Best Fan Army prize – said: "[Thanks to] God … I’ve experienced some tough times. I think all of us. It’s about just our growth and learning."
He then finished up by praising his family for their support before admitting he hates that his career drags him away from his half-siblings Jazmyn, seven and Jaxon, six.
He explained: "I want to thank my family at home. I really miss my little brother and sister. They’re growing up so fast."
And his tear-jerking acceptance speech wasn’t the only thing that stole the audience’s attention as he also had people up on their feet when he took to the stage to perform his hit ‘Love Yourself’ before treating them to his new single ‘Company’.
The blonde pop star may have had a busy night on his hands but he still managed to make time for former Spice Girls singer Mel B’s four-year-old daughter, Madison.
Justin crouched down to the youngster’s level, wrapped his arms around her and posed for a photograph with her.
And it wasn’t just Madison he won over as Mel, 40, called him "the best" as she shared the sweet shot online.

Selena Gomez wants to date a British guy

Selena Gomez wants to date a British guy.
The ‘Hands to Myself’ hitmaker – who was born and raised in the US – is desperate to snap up a handsome boyfriend across the pond because she’s obsessed with the accent.
But, although she’s keen to stumble upon her future boyfriend while she’s in the UK, the 23-year-old beauty, who had an on/off relationship with Justin Bieber until they split in 2014, is looking forward to jetting back home to start rehearsing for her forthcoming ‘Revival’ tour in the States.
She said: "I’m about to start rehearsals so I’m aching to get back home so I can start putting my all into it. We’ve hired the dancers and the band is set to go."
Meanwhile, the brunette beauty has admitted her new single, which climbed to number 10 in the charts, was inspired by her love for pickles rather than a hunky man.
Speaking on BBC Radio One, she said of her new track: "I can’t keep my hands off pickles. You know the kind of dish that you grew up with that makes your mouth water instantly? I have to have it. My body needs it."

Selena Gomez: I love Zayn Malik’s ‘vibe’

Selena Gomez loves Zayn Malik’s "vibe".
The ‘Heart Wants What It Wants’ hitmaker – who shocked fans when she attended her ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber’s ‘Purpose’ concert in Los Angeles last night (23.03.16) – has praised the former One Direction star for his "clever" new music.
Speaking to Radio Hit 30, she said: "I’m as excited as you to listen [to his album ‘Mind of Mine’]. Honestly, I was very surprised when the first single came out. I loved when I heard.
"I love the new songs on it. I think this new vibe and where it is going is quite clever​."
Meanwhile, the 23-year-old singer previously revealed she would like to date older men but would make an exception for Zayn, who is also 23.
She said: "I hate it. It’s hard and I’m weirded out by the idea that a guy has googled me before we meet, and that has happened. I feel like I look 16 sometimes, which is a bummer because I would love to date older guys."
Speaking about Zayn – who is currently dating Gigi Hadid, – she added: "If he had asked me out on a date, I would be seen with him. Just kidding, but not kidding."

Selena Gomez watches Justin Bieber show

Selena Gomez watched Justin Bieber perform last night (03.23.16).
The 23-year-old singer was spotted by eagle-eyed fans at Los Angeles’ Staples Center in the sound mixing area taking in her former boyfriend’s ‘Purpose Tour’ show.
The sighting comes a few days after Justin shared a throwback photo of himself kissing Selena, who he had an on/off relationship with from 2011 to 2014, on Instagram.
He captioned it simply: "Feels"
Not only did Selena like the picture, she also commented "perfect".
The 21-year-old singer – who has most recently been romantically linked with model Hailey Baldwin – previously admitted he and his former girlfriend are always there for one another, though they don’t have a lot of contact.
He said: "We don’t talk often, but we’re cordial. If she needs something, I’m there for her. If I need something, she’s there for me."
Meanwhile, Selena recently vowed never to date the ‘What Do You Mean’ singer again.
She said: "At first I didn’t care. To me it was: I’m 18, I have a boyfriend, we look cute together, we like that. Then I got my heart broken and I cared. Because people had no idea what was going on, but everywhere it was a million different things. I was kind of in a corner, banging my head against the wall. I didn’t know where to go."
About the constant references made about Justin in the media, she added: "I’m so exhausted. I honestly am so done. I care about his health and well-being. But I can’t do it anymore."

Justin Bieber cancels fan meet and greets

Justin Bieber has cancelled his future fan meet and greets.
The ‘What Do You Mean?’ hitmaker may have only just kicked off his Purpose World Tour but he’s already decided to axe his intimate backstage experience, which cost $925 a pop, because they make him feel "drained and unhappy."
Taking to his Instagram account last night (03.22.16), he wrote: "I’m going to be canceling my meet and greets. I enjoy meeting such incredible people but I end up feeling so drained and filled with so much of other people’s spiritual energy that I end up so drained and unhappy..
"Want to make people smile and happy but not at my expense and I always leave feeling mentally and emotionally exhausted to the point of depression ..
"The pressure of meeting people’s expectations of what I’m supposed to be is so much for me to handle and a lot on my shoulders. Never want to disappoint but I feel I would rather give you guys the show and my albums as promised.
"Can’t tell you how sorry I am, and wish it wasn’t so hard on me.. And I want to stay in the healthy mindset I’m in to give you the best show you have ever seen (sic)."
However, although he’s claimed pulling the plug on his meet and greets was down to him feeling depressed, it’s believed the 21-year-old pop star made the call after a security scare at his gig at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Monday (03.21.16) when a fan got within 10 feet of him.
A source told TMZ: "This was the last straw in an increasing problem Justin’s team has had in managing the number of people who wanted special access to the singer before and after the concert. Up to now, around 20 people purchased one-on-one packages, and up to 200 others paid to meet Justin in groups. He’s had his hair pulled, clothes ripped and one fan even gave him the flu. Justin never complained, but Monday night’s scare was a wake up call for security."

Justin Bieber thanks Kanye for gig

Justin Bieber has thanked his "inspiration" Kanye West for attending his show last night (03.21.16).
The ‘Sorry’ hitmaker was delighted to see the US rapper and his wife Kim Kardashian West enjoy a date night at Los Angeles’ Staples Center to take in part of his ‘Purpose World Tour’, and admitted he put on a big performance for the 38-year-old star.
He tweeted: "Shout out to one of my inspirations @kanyewest for coming to the show tonight. Had to go big. #PurposeTourLosAngeles night 2 (sic)"
Kanye – who recently admitted Justin’s hit ‘What Do You Mean’ was his favorite song of 2015 – took his wife Kim along to the gig and appeared to enjoy himself as the reality TV star posted a video of her significant other dancing along to his tunes on her Snapchat account.
She also shared a selfie of the pair looking every inch a loved up couple at the show.
Justin’s thanks to Kanye comes just a few days after he mocked the rapper following his Staples Center gig on Sunday (03.20.16).
The pop star grabbed the microphone at the 1 OAK nightclub in LA after another of his successful shows, but before giving the crowd some advice he joked: "I’m not gonna give like a 30-minute speech. I’m not Kanye West. I love Kanye. I only got a little bit to give though."
He then said: "All I’m gonna say is let’s have a good night, let’s enjoy ourselves. Let’s be ourselves. I think the thing the world struggles with most is just being ourselves. I think people hate on people that just are themselves.
"Maybe I’m drunk. Maybe I’m just speaking real s**t. But I feel like a lot of the reason why so many people hate on me is cause I’m just myself."

Drunk Justin Bieber ranted on stage ‘people hate me’

Justin Bieber thinks "so many people hate" him for being himself.
The ‘Sorry’ hitmaker ranted about people’s perceptions of him during an impromptu performance at the 1OAK nightclub in West Hollywood, California, on Saturday (03.19.16), admitting he was "drunk" but insisted wasn’t going to embark on a lengthy tirade like those rapper Kanye West is known for.
The 22-year-old pop sensation began: "Yo, you guys havin’ a good night tonight?
"[I’m] not going to give like a 30-minute speech because "I’m] not Kanye West".
Justin then explained the "reason" he thinks he is vilified.
He went on: "I think people hate on people who are themselves, you know? Maybe I’m drunk or maybe I’m just speaking real s**t, but I feel like a lot of the reason why there’s so many people that hate on me is ’cause I’m just myself."
Video footage taken by a member of the audience shows the star perched on the DJ booth, gripping the microphone and wearing his hoodie over his head.
At one point he drunkenly slips off the booth and has to be helped back up by security.
In the short clip, obtained by ‘Entertainment Tonight’, he continued to talk about why people should be "spontaneous" and not care if they are hated.
He added: "You know, you can hate on me for being myself, too, but… if you just are yourself and are OK with just being yourself and making spontaneous decisions and just, like, wearing whatever you want to wear and doing whatever you want to do – we’re going to make bad decisions sometimes, but we ultimately want to make good decisions.
"So let’s try to make the best decisions as we possibly know how to give and have a good night!"
The star then took selfies with pals at the show, including Marilyn Manson, and posted them to Instagram, with one captioned: "Night out in la with the boys."

The Wanted’s Tom Parker is engaged

The Wanted’s Tom Parker has got engaged.
The 27-year-old singer popped the question to his longtime lover Kelsey Hardwick, whom he has been dating since 2009, recently and certainly made sure he pulled out all the stops to ensure it was a proposal she’ll never forget.
He explained: "I feel like the happiest man in the world.
"There was a trail of rose petals leading to the TV where I’d set up a montage of all our pictures from the day we met until now. I was crying my eyes out at this point. Then at the end it said, ‘Here’s to the next chapter, turn around’, and when she turned around I got down on one knee."
But, despite his well-planned moment, the handsome star was so tearful that he struggled to get the special words out.
Speaking to HELLO! Magazine, he said: "I literally couldn’t get my words out, I was so overcome with emotion."
Meanwhile, the loved-up couple, who met seven years ago, are yet to set a date for their wedding but have already started working on the guest list and would like the Beckhams – including David, Victoria, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper – and Justin Bieber to attend their nuptials.
