Justin Bieber wants to be the "man his mother raised."
The 20-year-old singer has spoken out to defend himself over allegations he tried to take a woman's cell phone because she tried to take a photograph of him while playing mini-golf, insisting the "truth" will out and admitting he sometimes struggles to "take the high road" while constantly being judged and "harassed" in public. Alongside a screengrab of a TMZ report stating an employee at Sherman Oaks Castle Park insisted he never tried to rob anyone, Justin tweeted, "It is hard to defend myself and my privacy every moment of the day. Then to see rumors. The truth will set u free [sic]."
"My mom raised me to be kind to others. I get judged, harassed, and I try to take the high road. Sometimes it isn't easy. But we keep trying... I will continue to be the man my mother raised. I love people and I will try to be kind even when things are not fair. Don't believe rumors... [sic]," he continued.

Jay Z is no longer seeking extortion charges over his old recordings.
Producer Chauncey Magan was detained last month after the "99 Problems" hitmaker's label Roc Nation accused him of stealing master tapes in 2002 and demanding $110,000 for their return, but as the rapper doesn't want to pursue charges, Los Angeles police are no longer investigating the case. However, according to TMZ, LAPD officers will hold on to the recordings until a civil judge tells them otherwise.
Mahan - who was interning at Roc Nation when the recordings were made - previously claimed he had been asked by the record label to keep track of the music because the 44-year-old star was just "a stupid kid smoking blunts" at the time, and was reckless with his intellectual property. The producer also insisted he repeatedly told Roc Nation he had the masters - which include "I Just Wanna Love U (Give It 2 Me)" and "Holla" - over the last decade and only requested the money when he could no longer afford to pay the storage fee.
He claims he only asked for the cash as compensation for keeping the recordings for 12 years in Northridge, California.

Ellen Page admits the support she has received since coming out has "blown her mind."
The X-Men: Days of Future Past actress revealed she is gay at the Human Rights Campaign's Time to Thrive conference in February and admits she expected to be subjected to some "vicious" comments afterwards.
"I've experienced basically nothing but support, it's actually really kind of blown my mind. I thought there would be a lot more viciousness," she said.
The 27-year-old star admitted she was "afraid" to make the revelation because of the expected backlash, and she thinks it is "beautiful" so many people have had kind things to say: "Maybe that's because you're afraid and for some reason you have this perspective, because of probably your own anxiety. So to me, that's been the most beautiful thing, because it's so indicative of the change that's happened and the growth that's happening. For me, it's been basically nothing but support."

Alec Baldwin was arrested this morning.
The 56-year-old actor was handcuffed and taken away in a police car after he was caught riding his push bike the wrong way down Fifth Avenue in New York City, before going "ballistic" at the two arresting female officers.
The 30 Rock star was asked to provide identification following his arrest but after he failed to do so, he was taken into custody at 13th Precinct and given two summons, one for traffic violation and a second for disorderly conduct, according to the MailOnline. Alec was released from custody shortly afterwards and returned to his apartment in New York to be greeted by a flock of photographers and reporters.
The star had a disgruntled expression on his face as he made his way inside his home, before taking to his Twitter account to share his version of the event: "Officer Moreno arrested me and handcuffed me for going the wrong way on Fifth Ave."

Kelly Rowland has gotten married.
The former Destiny's Child singer and her manager Tim Witherspoon tied the knot in a secret ceremony in Costa Rica last Friday, it has been claimed. "It was a quick, simple ceremony - only around 30 people," a source told Us Weekly. Among the guests were Kelly's former bandmate Beyonce and her sister Solange.
Although the nuptials haven't been confirmed, Beyonce had posted a photograph to her Instagram account on the big day wearing what appeared to be a bridesmaids dressed but was captioned only, "'Good morning."
Speaking last December, 33-year-old Kelly admitted she and Tim had been engaged for some time: "He put a ring on it. It's been a while. We've kept it very, very low - for years, to be completely honest." Kelly also revealed her boyfriend of four years proposed on Skype while she was in Bulgaria. "He put a ring on it! He asked me first on Skype and I was like, 'We're so far away from each other.' But it was so late, I remember we were both just kinda like, honestly, just staring at each other ... and he asked me, and it was just that simple to say yes," she said.
Halle Berry “Healthy and Happy” After Son’s Birth
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Television, Celebrity Babies, Features,
Halle Berry is "healthy and happy" following the birth of her son.
The 47-year-old actress insists she's not stressing over her postpartum pounds after welcoming her second child Maceo-Robert, whom she has with her husband Olivier Martinez, into the world last October. "I'm healthy and that's really good. When you're nursing you can't really diet because you have to keep producing milk ... I'm healthy and I'm happy and that's all that matters," she said.
The brunette beauty - who also has six-year-old daughter Nahla from her previous relationship with Gabriel Aubry - believes Maceo has brought "joy" to her family and she is overwhelmed by the love she feels for him: "[Maceo's] perfect, just perfect. More love, more joy -- having a new baby in your family brings that."
However, Halle admits she and Olivier, 48, whom she married last July, are still trying to find the balance between parenthood and their demanding careers. "[A new baby means] less sleep. And I'm working on the TV show [Extant]. It's a new grind, it's a new rhythm. We're trying to get used to that. [But] we're managing," she explained.

Jenny McCarthy and Donnie Wahlberg will marry later this year.
The View host and the New Kids on the Block star got engaged last month, but won't be waiting too long to tie the knot, as she hopes to do so in New York "soon." She added to E! News, "I will say fall of this year!"
The blonde beauty already knows who she wants to design her wedding dress - and it'll be more upmarket than what her bridesmaids will wear. When asked who will design her dress, she said, "Gucci, yes. Gucci, maybe." She then jokingly added, "[The bridesmaids will wear] Forever 21, for sure.''
And the 41-year-old star will have plenty of company walking her down the aisle. When explaining who will be bridesmaids, she said, "[My sisters], all the comedians on the Dirty, Sexy, Funny tour and Donnie's sisters.''

Kylie Jenner Tattoos Lionel Richie’s Son
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Child Stars, Photos,
Kylie Jenner has reportedly tattooed Lionel Richie's son.
The reality starlet made her body art debut on Friday evening in a Hollywood recording studio when she inked her initials on 19-year-old Miles Richie's hand. The 16-year-old brunette was in the studio with her sister Khloe Kardashian and her boyfriend French Montana watching Miles get inked by artist John Petro when she decided to give it a go herself.
In a video obtained by TMZ, a glove-clad Kylie can be seen copying John's hand movements as she tries to pick up the skill.
The gossip site is reporting the LA County Dept. of Public Health has confirmed only those aged 18 and over can administer tattoos, so Kylie could be hit with a fine of up to $1,000. And John - who has tattooed the likes of Soulja Boy and Lil Wayne in the past - could have his license suspended.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Break-ups, Rumors,
Michelle Williams has reportedly split from her boyfriend.
The My Week With Marilyn actress and Dustin Yellin are said to have separated after a year of dating, Us Weekly reports.
The 33-year-old beauty - who has eight-year-old daughter Matilda with her late ex-fiance Heath Ledger - was first romantically linked with the artist when they were spotted holding hands in May 2013 after the Met Gala. The pair were not spotted together very often and Michelle didn't speak publicly about her romance with the 38-year-old artist.
Though it is unclear when they split, Dustin didn't appear to be with the actress when she and her Cabaret cast and crewmates celebrated the Broadway production's opening night last month, and he also wasn't by her side at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for this year's Met Gala earlier this month.
