"Justin Bieber has been doing his own scandal-making as of late, but these clips are from a lawsuit involving one of Bieber's bodyguards alleged beating of a photographer. TMZ has published what they're calling the best moments from the 4 1/2 hour interview, including questions about Selena Gomez and Usher, who Bieber seemingly denies was responsible for putting him on. As TMZ notes, the best part of that clip is when Bieber mixes his words and, while claiming to have found success on his own, says, 'I was detrimental to my own career.'"—Claire Lobenfeld

The full version of the record is now out, and there's a lot to take in as Gibbs raps about a number of issues he had with his former associate. He doesn't hold back either, calling out Jeezy for being fake in the streets, and how the Atlanta rapper backed down from confrontations with Rick Ross and Gucci Mane because he was scared."—Edwin Ortiz

"FOX News' Bill O'Reilly, a self-proclaimed critic of 'harmful entertainment marketed to unsupervised children,' recently brought rap mogul Russell Simmons on his show to discuss this 'harmful entertainment,' including the burlesque-influenced video for Beyoncé's "Partition."

O'Reilly's recrimination of Bey starts innocently enough, calling her performance of the National Anthem at the 2004 Super Bowl in Houston 'brilliant,' but he is quick to note that her new album has a song that, 'glorifies having sex in the back of a limousine.' He goes on to say, 'Teenage girls look up to Beyoncé, particularly girls of color. I'm saying, Why on earth would this woman do that? Why would she devastation that unwanted pregnancies [...]and fractured families, why would Beyoncé do that?'"—Claire Lobenfeld
