Justin Bieber says he needs to take some time to chill following a heated incident with members of the paparazzi in Israel earlier this week. Sadly for Bieliebers, that means no (or less) Tweeting. “I’m just excited at this point to get on stage and perform,” Justin wrote. “Gonna take a little break from Twitter and enjoy time with my family until then.” “[I’ve] been super frustrated and just need some time to vent and chill.” Back away from the Bieb! Bieber’s comments came after paparazzi caused him to retreat to his hotel rather than visit Israeli monuments. He lamented their lack of respect in the Holy Land . One can understand where he’s coming from. Kid never gets a break. But, shortly after saying goodbye to the microblogging site, Bieber retweeted fans’ tweets and then seemingly signaled a return to Twitter: “Patience is a virtue.” [Photo: WENN.com]
Lady Gaga does not mince words. In the May issue of Harper’s Bazaar , the provocative singer dishes about her failures in adapting to Hollywood. Despite being a self-proclaimed student of the art of fame, fitting in out in la-la land just wasn’t in the cards, she says: “I had all these number-one records. I had sold all these albums. It was sort of this turning point: Do I embrace Hollywood and assimilate to that culture?” Not exactly. GRAND, BABY : Lady Gaga heats up Harper’s Bazaar . “I put my toe in that water, and it was a Kegel-exercise vaginal reaction where I clenched and had to retract immediately,” she says in a great metaphor. What happened after that, you ask? “I ran furiously back to New York, to my old apartment, and I hung out with my friends, I went to the same bars.” And went back to the same bartender, Luc Carl ! Abandoning the Hollywood life for the comforts of New York City doesn’t have Gaga worried about her future. In fact, her career’s doing alright. “What means something to me is my music,” says the Born This Way singer. “I don’t want to make money; I want to make a difference.” “You can quote me on this: People love you when they think you won’t be around long, and people hate you when they can’t get rid of you.” “But I’m not going anywhere.” For the sake of always giving us something to write about, and for new Lady Gaga pictures to post and talk about endlessly, thank goodness.

The Hollywood Gossip is proud to present another edition of The Pulse, where our staff recaps the day’s biggest events in celebrity news and gossip. Did Robert Pattinson really give Kristen Stewart a “promise ring”? That may be just a rumor, but Taylor Lautner’s Abduction trailer is the real deal. Catch up on these stories, plus a rundown of last night’s American Idol performances and Rebecca Black coming to Glee , right here with The Pulse: The Pulse Daily Recap – April 14, 2011
Last week, we predicted that Stefano Langone and Paul McDonald would go home on American Idol, only to be stunned when Pia Toscano was eliminated . This shows what we know, but we doubt we were the only ones surprised. Nor do we expect we’re alone saying Stefano and Paul may be in danger again. Haley Reinhart also looked shaky, so it’s anyone’s guess. But neither Stefano or Paul took that step last night that would put them in the “safe” category. Right? Wrong? Watch their performances here and comment below: Paul McDonald – Old Time Rock And Roll (American Idol) Stefano Langone – End Of The Road (American Idol)
A billboard promoting AMC’s hit The Walking Dead has sparked a bit of controversy in the UK this week, but not because of the show’s violent content. The huge banner – brandishing the tagline “What makes us human?” – for the zombie drama isn’t just visible, it’s unavoidable for people walking by. Which would probably be alright, except for what’s inside the building: Bad taste? Marketing genius? A hybrid of the two? Who knows! “There must have been somewhere else they could placed it that would have shown a degree of insight and sensitivity,” said a peeved resident . Advertiser Clear Channel reportedly issued this apology: “Clear Channel apologises for any offense caused by the unfortunate juxtaposition of this advertisement, which was certainly not intended.” “We arranged to have it removed right away.”
In the music world, being covered by Glee is a sign that you’ve made it and a true honor. Unless you’re Dave Grohl or Kings of Leon, but that’s another story. The Fox hit’s latest adaptation may be a major shark-jumper, though. Rebecca Black’s “Friday,” which just surpassed 100 million views on YouTube due to the fact that it’s the worst song ever, is getting the Glee treatment. Rebecca Black – Friday The song will appear an upcoming episode that centers around prom, and will either be sung by Kevin McHale, Chord Overstreet and Mark Salling, or by Salling and returning guest star Jonathan Groff, reprising his role as Jesse St. James. Seriously, this is happening . What do you think? A fun move by a fun show, or, as one critic put it , is a Glee cover of Rebecca Black like a herpes version of chlamydia? Sound off below.
Good news for Victoria Jackson. The former Saturday Night Live star, who said Glee makes kids gay , has no longer uttered the most ridiculous, disparaging remark about the Fox hit. Just read what Bret Easton Ellis, an author best known for American Psycho , Tweeted last night: “I like the idea of Glee but why is it that every time I watch an episode I feel like I’ve stepped into a puddle of HIV?” Ummm… because you’re a fear-mongering, ignorant moron? Ellis has over 141,000 followers on Twitter and has said in the past that he doesn’t identify as gay or straight. He’s also released similarly strange, bitter Tweets in the past. During the ” It Gets Better ” campaign, which debuted soon after a rash of teen suicide and which featured a number of celebrities sending positive messages to gay youths, Ellis wrote: “Not to bum everyone out, but can we get a reality check here? It gets worse.” Sure. For close-minded bigots perhaps.
Roc Royal, Ray Ray, Princeton and Prodigy open Number Ones Tour. By Vaughn Schoonmaker Mindless Behavior Photo: Johnny Nunez/ Getty Images In the age of Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Willow Smith and the cast of “Glee,” teen group sensations have slid off the radar after the boy band and girl group hurricane of the late ’90s and early 2000s. Mindless Behavior are here to change that. Filling the hot slot of Janet Jackson’s opening act, Mindless Behavior are currently traveling the country for her Number Ones Tour. MTV News caught up with Roc Royal, Ray Ray, Princeton and Prodigy in their dressing room at the legendary Radio City Music Hall in New York City to find out what it means to be “mindless,” what it’s like opening for Janet and what we can expect from the 13-year-olds as they strive to headline their own tour someday soon. “Two years ago, we all auditioned for the group,” Princeton explained from behind his large designer sunglasses. “Our managers took us to Interscope, and they signed us to Streamline Records. And then, after that, we started working on our album, #1 Girl .” Mindless Behavior’s yet-to-be-released debut album will include featured artists Ciara, Lil Twist and Tyga. Regarding the band’s name, Princeton explained, “Mindless Behavior is our movement that we want everybody to join.” “Being mindless is having confidence and being yourself,” Ray Ray added. The boys intend for their album to find mass appeal. “Our music is very R&B and pop,” Princeton described. “When you listen to our first album … there are a lot of songs that adults and kids can relate to.” As far as subject matter, Ray Ray noted, “All of our songs talk about girls. We love the ladies.” With inspirations including Diddy, Eminem, Michael Jackson, Kanye West and Usher, the boys of Mindless Behavior bring wild synchronized dance moves, some high notes and some serious rapping to the stage. “When our manager told us that we were going to be on tour with Janet Jackson, we couldn’t believe it!” Ray Ray gushed. “The first time I met Janet, I was stuck. I couldn’t move.” Princeton recounted, “I kept telling them, ‘Is it just me, or is the room warm?’ I think it was just me because I was so nervous.” “When we walked in her room, it felt like we were in heaven,” Roc Royal remembered. Prodigy was tickled by the experience: “She’s really relaxed and quiet, and she looks gorgeous.” Janet even offered the young hip-hop artists a bit of advice: “She said to keep doing what we do and we’re very talented,” Princeton said, beaming. “Coming from Janet, that was big.” The boys said they have felt very welcome on Janet’s stage thus far on the tour. “Janet fans are amazing!” Roc Royal said. “There’s not one person in the crowd that’s sitting down or looking away or texting or doing something else,” Princeton added. “They’re always looking at us.” The fact that Janet was the headliner didn’t stop dozens of Mindless fans from waiting outside of Radio City on the three nights of performances, screaming toward all windows in sight with the hope that the boys were in one of them. “Every time we’re in New York, they’re outside waiting,” Princeton said, gesturing toward the nearby open window through which screams repeatedly traveled. “They inspire us to do better onstage,” Roc Royal noted. “And they like to give us gifts!” Ray Ray said, referring to the mountains of merchandise from the M&M Store piled around the dressing room. The boys of Mindless Behavior hope to treat their fans with a full headlining tour of their own sometime soon. “When we headline our first tour, it’s going to be something that people have not seen before,” Princeton promised. “It’s going to be something that the fans love,” added Prodigy. Roc Royal exclaimed: “Everything’s going to be mindless!” Are you a Mindless Behavior fan? Let us know in the comments below! Related Videos Opening Act: Artists To Look Out For
“I think it#39;s important to have your differences in any relationship. I wouldn#39;t want to be dating a carbon copy of myself. That would just be boring.” Chris Evans, 29, has previously romanced Jessica Biel and Christina Ricci. Dianna Agron is reportedly dating Chris Evans.
