Pop heart-throb Justin Bieber features on the cover of Vanity Fair‘s February issue.

Speaking to the magazine about his hyperactivity, the 16 year old purveyor of Bieber-Fever said:

“Just the way my brain works. I’m not normal. I think differently—my mind is always racing. I’m just … nuts. But I think the best [musicians] probably are. “

Adding about his acute insomnia, he said:

“(I sit up at night thinking) about all the things I didn’t have time to think about during the day — like family and God …”

Ok then…

In other Bieber news, actress Selena Gomez has reportedly been receiving death threats after being snapped kissing the singer.

With 7 nominations to her credit for work found aboard her latest Spanish album, ‘Aguilera,’ Pop diva Christina Aguilera entered the 2022 Latin GRAMMYs Thursday night (November 17) as a top contender for some of the night’s biggest honors including Album and Record of the Year.

Ultimately walking away with the Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album honor, Christina – defeating Sin Bandera‘s ‘Frecuencia,’ Fonseca‘s ‘Viajante,’ Marta Gomez‘s ‘Filarmonico 20 Anos,’ and Kurt‘s ‘La Vida’ for the win – nabbed the second Latin GRAMMY of her career.  It comes over 20 years after her first triumph in the Best Female Pop Vocal Album for her inaugural Spanish-language release, 2000’s ‘Mi Reflejo.’

Accepting the new award wasn’t the only time Aguilera graced the stage at Las Vegas’ Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino Thursday, however.

Look inside to see how she rocked the house with ‘Cuando Me De La Gana’ alongside Mexican hitmaker Christian Nodal.

Katy Perry is gearing up for a major reveal this week, if mounting speculation proves true.

Fresh from dishing the video for current single ‘Bon Appétit,’ the former Pop force appears to have launched the campaign for something altogether bigger overnight.

Eagle eyed fans in New York have noted the appearance of a digital billboard in Times Square bearing Perry’s eye and the cryptic caption May 15th:

Tranquillement mais sûrement ☔️??? #instagood #instaphoto #cityscapes #urbanphotography #city #ilovenewyork #notadrone #ig_urban #skyscrapers #citylife #skyline #newyork #rainyday #newyork_ig #newyorkcity #newyorkbynight #nofilter #timesquare #katyperry

A post shared by Nicolas Hun (@nico_le_hun) on May 13, 2017 at 6:02pm PDT

Shortly after, the singer changed her Twitter display pic to the same eye:

The image seems to support suggestion that Perry’s project is indeed titled ‘Witness’ – a name she wore across her forehead at the MET Gala recently.

As for what her May 15th reveal could be: a tour, an album, a pre-order announcement? Whatever the case, an reveal is clearly imminent.

Are you excited for KP4?

It’s a good time to Nicki Minaj right now.

As her ‘PinkPrint’ release has passed the Gold mark in the U.S. and etches closer to platinum, the rapper/singer/songwriter is also set to shine on the big screen via the third installment of the Ice Cube-led ‘Barbershop’ franchise.

Now, as if that isn’t enough to celebrate, all eyes are now on her as she has notched her 65th Hot 100 hit with the Meek Mill & Chris Brown-helmed ‘All Eyes On You.’  The chart triumph sees the rapstress slide in just a few steps closer to leading the pack of “most Hot 100 entries” by any female…of any genre (only Taylor Swift & Aretha Franklin have more as we reported here).

Elsewhere, charts reveal Swift isn’t the only country diva at risk of seeing her Hot 100 record threatened. For, in addition to setting a new chart record this week, Bruno Mars‘ monster hit ‘Uptown Funk’ is just two weeks away from upstaging Leann Rimes‘ ‘How Do I Live’ in a big way.
