Justin Bieber's Believe album hijacked

Justin Bieber has become the victim of an elaborate April Fool's Day prank.

You wouldn't call it the final indignity for Justin Bieber – no doubt there's further to fall for a man already earning frequent offender points at his local cop shop. However, being the victim of an elaborate April Fools' Day prank may be seen as rubbing high end rock salt into a well-groomed wound.

Across Los Angeles on Tuesday, what appeared be copies of Bieber's Believe album on the shelves of major retailers such as Wal-Mart, Best Buy and Target turned out to be music from electronic artist Paz.

While the cover was identical to Believe CDs, which were plastic-wrapped and a barcode visible on the packaging, the actual disc instead featured music from Paz's album, From the Bottom Of My Heart To The Top of Your Lungs. Although the title of the DJ's record may be seen as a reference to Bieber's seeming predilection for inhalable substances, musically it's heavy on the synthesisers and light on the teen-friendly pop for which the Canadian star is best known.

For those playing close attention, a giveaway before the music was played would have been the inside sleeve of the CD which not only had the regular Paz artwork but also what's described as "images of cats, pizzas and a dog stuffed inside a taco”. Not even an artist with the biggest case of the munchies would go so far as a dog stuffed taco. Probably.

Paz, whose full name is Paz Dylan, said the hoax was not lightly done and had a message well beyond any passing mockery of a fallen pop idol.

"We paid a lot of attention to detail because we wanted these to stay up on shelves as long as possible," he told the Associated Press. "The general idea is that retail stores make it almost impossible for independent musicians to get their music in there. I've always believed that retail stores can be the best outlets and ambassadors for independent music. They just choose not to be and sell the same recycled [expletive]. We thought if they're going to lock their doors to independent musicians, we're just going to knock them down and get our music in there."

Although some media were able to obtain copies of the hoax album, it's not known how many, if any, were purchased by unsuspecting Beliebers. Nor is it known how many found the music an improvement.

Selena Gomez reveals she gets relationship advice from Katy Perry

Selena Gomez may have Katy Perry to thank for what appears to be an on-again romance with Justin Bieber.

The 21-year-old Come & Get It star described the older singer as the person she turns to for relationship advice in the March issue of Seventeen magazine.

Selena may be on top of the world with a smash album and huge fanbase, but when she needs help in the love department Katy is her go-to gal.

'I actually talked to her about guys who are intimidated by strong girls,' Selena told the magazine.

'I haven’t found someone yet who could understand my lifestyle, support it, love me through it, and not be threatened by it.'

Selena may have been referring to the 19-year-old Never Say Never singer, with whom she's rumoured to be seeing again after a year-long break.

Selena Gomez Finds Justin's New Look 'Very Amusing'. Justin Bieber unveils his new bum fluff.

Justin Bieber might be trying to prove his maturity by growing a bit of face fuzz, but his ex-girlfriend, Selena Gomez, is apparently less than impressed with his new look. The former Disney star is currently taking her tour ‘Stars Dance’ around Europe having already had two successful shows in London, but is said to be missing family and friends back in the US. Still she's had time to check out JB's new look apparently. According to a close source, Selena finds Justin’s new moustache "hilarious". 

The source exclusively told HollywoodLife.com: “She’s seen it and she thinks it’s hilarious, that gave her a good laugh after being so homesick." The source also added that Selena had “laughed out loud” when seeing the new photos of the 'Boyfriend' hitmaker.

Locals Go to War Over Justin Bieber’s Ferrari

Justin Bieber and cars just don't mix.

The 19-year-old's Ferrari was pulled over for speeding outside of his gated community in Calabasas, California, on Wednesday.

The driver — who was not Bieber — was not ticketed, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department spokesman Steve Whitmore said. Multiple reports say it was in fact Bieber's pal Lil Twist behind the wheel.

[Related: Justin Bieber's Driving Drama Builds]

But shouldn't Bieber know by now that it's not the best idea to lend his friend Lil Twist his cars?

Twist, a 20-year-old rapper, has not exactly taken care of Bieber's luxe rides in the past. This year alone, Lil Twist racked up two reckless driving tickets and even was involved in a hit-and-run while driving Bieber's vehicles. He was also the one in the driver's seat when a paparazzo, who thought he was following Bieber's car, was struck and killed by another motorist as he snapped photos.

The Biebs himself isn't a much better driver … or neighbor.

On Monday, two people who live near Bieber witnessed the teen idol driving at high speeds through neighborhood streets, according to the L.A. Times.

One of them was former NFL star Keyshawn Johnson, whose 3-year-old daughter was playing in Johnson's driveway. Johnson went to Bieber's home to confront him as he watched the singer pull into his garage, but Bieber refused to discuss the incident and went inside. He also hasn't talked to police about the matter.

An L.A. Times source close to the investigation said Bieber's team insists he wasn't the one driving during the Sunday incident, and that he only was behind the wheel long enough to back the car into the garage.

Bieber's publicist did not immediately respond to omg!'s request for comment.

Officials are currently determining whether there's enough evidence to charge Bieber with a misdemeanor charge of reckless driving, as well as battery for an incident in March when he allegedly spit on a neighbor.

Not surprisingly, that occurrence was also sparked by Bieber and his boys speeding through the streets …

Justin Bieber & Selena Gomez Reunite In Los Angeles

Are the on-again, off-again couple back on? Justin & Selena were both spotted in Los Angeles this week, so a reunion is definitely a possibility!

Selena Gomez recently told Boston radio station Kiss 108 that she was completely available, but she was spotted wearing a super-sexy outfit in L.A. on May 13 — the day after Justin Bieber!

Selena Gomez & Justin Bieber: Reunited?

Selena, 20, was spotted heading into Sony Studios in a sheer white t-shirt, showing off a hot pink lacy bra. She matched the look with black skinny jeans and flats — and she looked sexy!

The next day, 19-year-old Justin was seen driving around Hollywood in his white Ferrari with BFF Lil Twist.

Now that Justin and Selena are finally back in the same city, could a reunion be in the works? Many assumed that two had split (again) after Selena told Kiss 108 that she would be “available” if she was asked out.

Selena Makes ‘Available’ Comment To Make Justin Jealous

A source EXCLUSIVELY told HollywoodLife.com that the reason behind Selena’s interview was to make Justin aware that she wants respect! The source tells us:

Selena felt like a booty call after she came back, and then Justin went back to his old games by ignoring her calls, etc. She did that interview to remind him that she’s a precious princess and he needs to respect her. Is she trying to make him jealous? Hell yeah. She needs to feel wanted or she will cool things off again. If they didn’t have the history they do, she would not be putting up with all of this.

Well, maybe it worked! I guess we’ll have to wait and see if the two rekindled their romance in L.A.! Do you think they met back up? Let me know!

Justin Bieber Steps Out With Baby Brother Jaxon in Madrid

The "Boyfriend" singer stepped into the role of protective big brother on Thursday as he happily carried younger sibling Jaxon in his arms as he left his hotel in Madrid, Spain, the latest stop on what so far has been a tumultuous European tour.

Justin, 19, held his baby bro out before his Beliebers and the paparazzi, and other than covering his ears from all the noise, Jaxon was all smiles as he and the rest of Justin's close-knit clan stayed by the singer's side prior to Thursday's gig in the Spanish capital.

Jaxon is Justin's 3-year-old half-brother, born to his father, Jeremy Bieber, and his father's wife. The teen idol also has a 4-year-old half-sister, Jazmyn "Jazzy" Bieber.

Jeremy, the kids and Bieber's mom, Pattie Mallette, were in town to support the hitmaker after the rough week he had, which included collapsing onstage in London, lunging at the paparazzi, canceling a concert in Portugal and battling reports he's out of control and rehab-bound.

The crooner was so ticked off by those rumors he ended up posting a lengthy rant on Instagram, only to take more heat for lashing out at Lindsay Lohan's financial situation. He subsequently apologized.

Justin Bieber apologises for arriving late during London gig

Popstar Justin Bieber has apologised to his fans for turning up late during a concert here.

The 19-year-old singer was expected to hit the stage at the O2 Arena at 8.30pm on Monday night and was allegedly booed by fans after he arrived late for the gig in O2 arena.

Bieber took to his twitter page to clarify about the delay.

"Last night I was scheduled after 3 opening acts to go on stage at 9:35 not 8:30 but because of some technical issues I got on at 10:10... so... I was 40 minute late to stage. There is no excuse for that I apologize for anyone we upset.

However, it was great show and I'm proud of that," Bieber tweeted.

"... and tonight we will run on time and look forward to putting on an amazing show for everyone in attendance.

The singer claimed that media exaggerated the incident.

"My relationship with the media is not always easy but I'm trying. I'm all about the music and the performance and I respect my fans. I never have any intent to upset or let anyone down and I'm not okay with things being exaggerated. once again sorry for anyone upset," he added later.

The show marked the first of four sold-out shows Bieber is playing at the O2 Arena in the British capital.

The concert follows a miserable 19th birthday weekend for Bieber which was ruined after he had fight with the club security where he was partying.

Selena Gomez Shoots New Music Video

Selena Has Been Showing A Lot More Skin Lately!

Back on Feb. 10, during a post-Grammy Justin Timberlake concert, Selena tweeted a pic of herself, with the caption, “He’s bringing sexy back… And it’s about time!! @jtimberlake killed it!” But what was really sexy was her tight pencil skirt and colorful bustier that showed off her cleavage in the pic. She was definitely exposing more then we have been accustomed to of Selena in the past.

Selena Getting Sexier After Justin Bieber Break-Up!

Ever since Selena and Justin have been separated, they both have been showing off a lot more skin, which is definitely a sign they are trying to make each other jealous. It definitely looks like Selena seems to be winning with the latest pics from the Spring Breakers red carpets around the world and now this latest music video shoot.

Selena Gomez Is ‘Frustrated’ With Justin Bieber Relationship

“We never actually had a spring break before, so this was our chance to have our own spring break,” Selena said, when asked whether the movie is comparable to their real lives.

While the girls may not be as adventurous as their on-screen counterparts, Ashley may be considering a move to Paris!

Ashley said, “Yes, it’s my first time here, but I already love it. I only got a chance to go out for a few hours, but I want to come back.”

Selena Talks Justin Bieber Relationship

Of course, Selena’s love life with Justin Bieber was touched upon, in the vaguest way possible. The girls were simply asked if it was hard to live life in the limelight, but we know it was directed at Selena — that’s why she chose to answer it!

“I  mean, there’s certain points where it gets a little frustrating, not in the fan aspect, but in the media. I think it’s frustrating, but we’re all super blessed to be here and we love our fans and love what we do that we just try not to let it bother us,” Selena said.

This Movie Will ‘Shock’ You

And expect to be surprised when you see the movie. Vanessa admits that even SHE gets shocked each time she watches it.

“When I watch the movie, I’m still shocked. And I did it. But it’s an amazing movie for the fans who are old enough to see it, I think that they’re really going to enjoy it,” Vanessa said.

Barbara Palvin Blames Selena Gomez For Causing Justin Bieber Drama

Barbara Palvin is not happy with Selena Gomez. In a new interview, the model blames Selena for all the “ridiculous” stories that have been written about her and Justin Bieber. 

“You know how the drama started — Selena retweeted the picture,” Barbara told Celebuzz on Jan. 12.

Selena, 20, posted a photo of Justin, Lil’ Twist and Barbara together with just, “…” on Nov. 8. It was clear that Selena was mad at Justin for hanging with the model.

“I’m okay to talk about it because I know there’s nothing. It’s ridiculous how this got to the news,” Barbara said to the website.

Barbara claims she was just “hanging out” with Justin, 18, during the Victoria’s Secret fashion show on Nov. 7.

“That was it . . . that’s why it was so weird. [Jelena fans] thought I caused a big drama, their break-up.”

“hey everyone. please calm down. he is all yours!!” Barbara wrote on Twitter on Nov. 9, in response to fans getting angry with her.

“I wanted to meet him real bad,” Barbara added. “I watched his movie [Justin Bieber: Never Say Never] and I was like, ‘He’s such a cool kid, I want to meet him.’ And then when I did at the [Victoria’s Secret] show we met and of course we had a conversation and then I took the picture with him.”

Justin Bieber & Selena Gomez Officially Split A Week Ago

Our earlier report that Jelena had split again has been confirmed to HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY by an insider close to the couple! But this still may not be the end of Jelena!

Justin Bieber, 18, and Selena Gomez, 20, split up about a week ago, after being on and off again since Thanksgiving, a source close to the couple tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively. So is this finally “it” for the former couple, who dated for over two years?

Despite the latest breakup, “I wouldn’t be surprised if they got back together,” says the source.

Why is that?

“They still both really care about each other,” says the source.

“Justin has been upset about it. The splitting up and getting back together has been hard on both of them,” explains the insider.

The biggest issue that the young couple is facing now is “timing,” says the source. “He’s got so much touring coming up. I don’t know how they’re going to see each other.”

Starting in February, Justin will be touring Europe, including the UK, Spain and France. In May, he will move to Dubai and South Africa. The Believe tour will run through August 10, 2013.  Selena also has promotional work for her new movie Spring Breakers, which will be released on March 8.

Meanwhile, Justin was photographed holding a cigarette that looked suspiciously like marijuana on Jan. 2. Is he possibly acting out because he’s upset by his breakup from the usually supportive Selena?

In any case, we wish these two both well, whether or not they get back together.

I'm trying to be better, says Justin Bieber over marijuana pic controversy

Washington, Jan 6: Justin Bieber, who was spotted smoking something what appeared to be marijuana, has tweeted to his fans that he is trying to be better.

The 'Beauty and the Beat' hitmaker took over to the micro-blogging site claiming that he loves his fans and will never let them down.

"Everyday growing and learning. Trying to be better. U get knocked down, u get up. I see all of u. I hear all of u. I never want to let any of you down. I love u," Us magazine quoted Bieber as tweeting.

The 18-year-old singer did not openly address the Marijuana-smoking pictures, but indirectly wrote about facing new challenges and new doubters.

"I'm ready. We are ready. See u all tomorrow and everyday after that," the singer tweeted.

"Back on tour tomorrow. Ready to see u all smile. Time to do what I'm supposed to be doing. Performing," he added.(ANI)

Niall Horan: Would He Really Date Selena Gomez if She Was Single?

Can we expect to see One Direction's Niall Horan and Selena Gomez together any time soon? Probably not!

During her recent breakup drama with Justin Bieber, Selena was rumored to be eying up the 1D cutie after her BFF, Taylor Swift, started dating his band mate Harry Styles.

Many thought it could be true...Niall does resemble Bieber a little! But according to Hollywoodlife.com, Niall wouldn't even give Selena a chance if she wanted one.

A close source told the website SugarScape.com that, "Niall and Selena are friendly with each other, but they don't want to date each other. They're not attracted to each other. And if they were attracted to each other (but they're not), Niall wouldn't want to hurt his friendship with Justin by dating Selena. Niall still has a crush on Demi Lovato, who's been Selena's friend for a long time. He wouldn't ruin his chances with Demi by dating Selena."

Aww, that's cool he wouldn't want to hurt The Biebs and really likes Demi! But let's be real, you know they're attracted to each other! How couldn't they be? Look at them!

After pics surfaced of Selena and Justin snuggling over the holidays, we're pretty sure she's not looking in Niall's direction right now anyway.

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez spotted kissing at Salt Lake City airport

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez seemed to officially confirm that they are back on when they were spotted kissing at the airport in Salt Lake City recently.

The couple looked very loved up as they snuggled in a chair, with Gomez sat on the teen popstar’s lap, the Daily Mail reported.

Bieber had his hand on Gomez’s waist, and she wore a smile as he leaned in for a sweet smooch.

An eyewitness told Radar Online that they were very affectionate with each other, and were kissing on and off as they just sat together and talked.

The pair were wrapped up for their Utah getaway, with Bieber in a blue padded coat and Gomez in a khaki number, while they both sported black jeans and knitted hats.

Justin Bieber Cheated On Selena Gomez? 'Star Caught Kissing Girl In Club', According To Reports

Things looked like they were back on track for Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez after a reported rough patch at the start of this month, but a US gossip site has tried to stir up trouble again by accusing the 'Boyfriend' singer of cheating on the actress.

'Jelena' as they are known to fans, were reported to have broken up after JB got overly flirty at the Victoria's Secret Show a few weeks ago but after a string of loved up dates things appeared to be back on track.

But now US site CelebDirtyLaundry has accused the 'Baby' star of playing away, quoting LaineyGossip.com as witnessing the alleged incident.

They reported: “It all started the other night at a post-show party. My source tells me JB scanned the club and settled on a girl who strongly resembles Selena.

“They hadn’t even had a proper conversation and already he was inviting her back to his hotel. She wanted to bring her friends. I’m told he and his people weren’t hot on the idea but eventually agreed.”

The site went on: “He asked her if she wanted to hear his new song and he wanted to know what she thought of it and that eventually progressed to kissing and light groping. But when she made it clear that it would not result in sex, well, he told her to leave. She wasn’t welcome anymore if she wasn’t giving it up. Go if you can’t be useful, right? It’s standard rock star behaviour.”

The incident allegedly took place at a club following another performance on Justin's 'Believe' tour.

It's not the first time the 18 year-old has been accused of cheating, but after publicly declaring his love for Selena in an interview with Oprah Winfrey this weekend, would the teen sensation really so publicly cheat on her?

Selena Gomez plays with PAC amid ‘Believe’ tour

Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber had a day together Saturday in Minneapolis, and Justin’s new hamster, PAC, was the hit of the afternoon. The two singers are barely able to meet and greet each other on the fly, these days, because the many-months-long “Believe” tour is keeping Justin Bieber out of Los Angeles, where Selena is working on a new album. Hollywood Life reports the story.

It was a short, flying trip to Minnesota. Selena was spotted early in the morning leaving LAX, and then there were Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber sightings in Minneapolis a few hours later. But no sighting was as cute as Selena cuddling PAC the hamster in her hands. The “Hotel Transylvania” star wore fuzzy animal print pants with boots and a black top and toque. She bonded beautifully with her man’s new, furry friend.

Justin did the introductions, to Selena and his millions of fans, via Twitter: “This is PAC the hamster my new believe tour pet I will bring him to every meet n greet.” But the meet with Selena is the most important, of course. No word so far, on exactly where Justin got the tiny pal, but likely he will show up again.

Apparently Selena flew right back, because no Selena-sightings have been reported in Milwaukee. Nor did PAC show up as Justin greeted a small, cancer-victim fan there. But likely he was warned to keep animals away.

Justin Bieber Pining For Selena Gomez On Tour?!

It must be a difficult feat, being away from Selena Gomez's cherub cheeks and sexy pout! Justin Bieber is currently traveling the world on his Believe tour, and recently tweeted a picture (above) of himself staring off into the distance along with a thoughtful, mysterious message we HOPE is about his sweet Selenita. Da Biebs posted:

And what other lady could Justin be talking about, if the tweet is NOT about his adorable ladylove?! It must get so lonely on tour, with hundreds of people constantly around, fussing over you, while millions of fans scream your name outside… no wonder Biebs is missing his Spring Breakers bad girl!

Justin bieber tweets topless picture from bed, teenage world implodes

Justin Bieber has revealed a new tattoo - done so in the now traditional online manner, a self-shot topless photo taken on a bed. See the photo below.

The sound of millions of teenage girls exploding could be heard across the world when Bieber posted the photo on Twitter on Friday night (31 August, 2012). Fans were quick to respond to the 'Boyfriend' star, ignoring the new ink on his chest and mostly responding saying "OMG UR SOOO HOT!!!"

The Canadian star previously showed off a new tattoo in July 2012, having a tiny tattoo on his right arm, the Japanese symbol for Kanji.

When the young star isn't sharing topless photos online or having miniscule tattoos, he has spent much of 2012 causing controversy, most recently suggesting that Prince Williams used growth hormones to restore his thinning hair. He also angered US aboriginal groups by suggesting that his inuit heritage entitled him to free 'gas' in Canada.

"I'm actually part Indian," he said in an interview with Rolling Stone in July this year. "I think Inuit or something? I'm enough per cent that in Canada I can get free gas."

His comments caused anger with the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples. “We have enough issues with racism and stereotyping,” say Dwight Dorey, the congress’s national vice-chief, in the statement. “A young, high-profile entertainer like Justin has a huge following. He has a major impact on young people. That concerns me.”

Selena Gomez 'Wants To Dump Arrogant Justin Bieber'

A few months ago there were rumours that Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber were on the rocks and in spite of their public show of love, insiders close to Selena believe she is ready to give her boyfriend the push.

It seems the 18 year-old's transformation from teen idol to bad boy Bieber over the last few months, hasn't gone down well with his girlfriend of over a year and now she reportedly wants out.

"Selena's seen a change in The Biebs," an insider told the National Enquirer, "he's less kind to others, and to her, and gotten more full of himself.”

The once squeaky clean star has repeatedly got into trouble over the last few months and even got himself in trouble with the law after a paparazzo accused JB of attacking him while on a date with Selena.

The insider went on: “His escalating, wild-card behaviour worries her,”

“He isn't the Justin she fell in love with, the 'dreamy' boyfriend she could have fun with and tell all her secrets to.”

But it seems she won't be breaking up with him anytime soon, as the star is said to fear what this 'new' Biebs will do if she breaks his heart.

The source revealed, "she won't kick him to the curb hard and cold for the fear he'll get vindictive. Selena's searching for a way to break it off, remain friends - and even continue working together on projects, as they've done with tracks for her upcoming CD."

They added: “He knows things about her family life so she's worried about what he'll spill if they split.”

We've certainly noticed a change in Justin over the last year, once he was talking about cute teenage thing the next thing he is revealing he loves Nikki Minaj's bum.

We aren't surprised that Sel is having a re-thinking. But could their break up really get that ugly? What exactly could she be hiding?

While speculation continues about the state of their romance, to us, the couple look as loved up and cute as ever!

Selena Gomez: Baylor is all grown up!

Selena Gomez’s dog, Baylor, is definitely not a puppy anymore. The “Hit the Lights” singer adopted Baylor, a husky mix, back in October after she had been missing her five dogs back home. She was on tour at the time and stopped by an animal shelter with boyfriend Justin Bieber in Winnipeg. There, she fell in love. 

This week, Selena, 20, showed just how much Baylor has grown since she first laid eyes on him. "My little [boy] is all growed(sic) up lol" she wrote on Facebook, sharing a side-by-side photo of Baylor as a puppy and a recent photo of her and Baylor, who is now fully grown. Selena has definitely given Baylor a happy home, but he is not the only puppy she has watched grow up in front of her eyes. She has five other dogs. Her dogs were all rescue puppies. 

“I have five dogs and they’re all rescue dogs. We found two in a parking lot and then we found one our neighbor moved away and left him in the backyard… I shot a movie Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie as we saw a dog in Puerto Rico, he got hit by a car and we took him to the vet and took him home,” she had explained. “So they’re all really nice. They’re very spoiled now.”
