We love bad boys, but when they have a soft side? Swoon!
Justin Bieber recently chatted with radio host Elvis Duran to promote his new single "What Do You Mean?" and he opened up about trying to be a better person. The interview doesn't air until Friday, but Us Weekly got their hands on the transcript, and the Biebs dishes all sorts of dirt about his personal life.
On being a better person:
"I just want to be around people who I feel are supporting me, uplifting me, and making sure I'm the best version of myself because there are so many people in this industry who just want to keep seeing me fall. It has to be on you. You have to make the conscious effort, because for me, so many times it was good people coming in my life and tugging at me, but I wasn't ready. They're like, 'Justin, come on.' But I wasn't ready to take that leap and be like, 'Okay, this is what I want to change, this is who I am, and this is not who I am.' It takes moments of clarity to be like, 'Oh, that's why I'm not like this. That's why I shouldn't do this.'"
On being a bad boy:
"I mean, maybe I'm a bad influence, but for me I was like, no, I'm going to do this until I feel like I shouldn't be doing this. Maybe I was wrong, but that's how I learn, and I feel like I'm much better for it.
Would he do anything differently? "I would probably stay away from Miami," he joked, referencing his bust in 2014 for for careless driving and resisting arrest.
So is there a special lady in his life these days? Yup! "I am in love...Her name is Esther, she's my little puppy!" he said. "She's adorable. She's a Silky Terrier. She makes me smile." Of course, the pop star had a few words about his love life, and more specifically, trust:
"Trusting people is hard, especially for me. I've trusted people who I probably shouldn't have trusted before and they've hurt my heart. I'm a pretty sensitive guy, so I'll lay it all on the line, and they'll kind of pull it. So now I'm figuring out there's certain people I can't do that with. Here's what I'll tell the people: Don't let someone who ruined your trust ruin that next person's chance to gain that trust. I think I let that affect me and change the way I looked at people for a while. There's so many beautiful and amazing people who will encourage you, who will love you, who will not judge you. But I didn't see that because I completely put myself over here. I still have moments where I'm like, 'Yeah people suck.' And then I'll have those moments of like, 'No, people are awesome, and this is why I do what I do in the first place.'"
The complete interview airs on Elvis Duran and the Morning Show this Friday -- we'll be listening!

Miley Cyrus appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Wednesday evening, and before the show the 22-year-old starlet mingled with fans and signed autographs. Loves it!
Miles wore a pair of bunny ears and an odd but semi-flattering outfit, and she was all smiles when we snapped her photo. After some hot dates and steamy makeout sessions, we haven't seen Miley and Victoria's Secret Model Stella Maxwell together in a while, so we're thinking the two may have broken up. On top of that, Stella has been all about Johnny Depp's daughter Lily-Rose lately, who just came out as being sexually ambiguous. Nothing wrong with that, except for the fact that Lily-Rose is 16! Way to pull a Tyga there Stella...
While Miley hasn't tweeted anything about her relationship status, she's been posting a number of sexy selfies with industry friends, so it seems like she's not heartbroken about ending her fling with the sexy supermodel. Who's she going to date next?

Speaking of blowing things, Khloe is reeeeally going to town on that sucker! Perhaps she's practicing for later?
On Wednesday Khloe Kardashian and beau James Harden celebrated his 26th birthday at Pinz bowling alley in Studio City, and the night before that she threw him an epic bash on a yacht in Marina Del Rey. Khloe hired celebrity party planner Sharon Sacks, and more than 200 people showed up, including Kim Kardashian and her husband Kanye West, sister Kourtney Kardashian, half-sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner, Kylie's boyfriend Tyga and Kris Jenner. Interestingly enough, Yeezy's ex-girlfriend Amber Rose was there too.
Guests were treated to a glass of champagne immediately after they arrived, and the all-white dress code was strictly enforced. Around midnight there were fireworks, and everyone sang to the bday boy shortly thereafter. Things with Khloe and James have been heating up over the last few months, but after this, it seems like this relationship is getting pretty serious!

This isn't a good sign!
Ben Affleck headed to the studio in Culver City this morning, and we noticed this is the first time we've seen the actor without his wedding ring since news of his split with Jennifer Garner broke. We know the estranged couple has been sporting their wedding bands for the sake of the kids, but apparently Boston Ben has had enough with pretending!
The actor hasn't had the easiest time since his breakup with Jen, because the family's ex nanny and his alleged fling Christine Ouzounian just won't go away! The latest is that she's been offered $1 million to star in a XXX Batman parody porn.
If Ben was smart he would have pulled a Brad Pitt and cheated with someone who had a vested interest in keeping their mouth shut!

Wise words!
Ice Cube made his way through LAX yesterday and gave some pretty good advice when asked his opinion on Wiz Khalifa getting arrested at the airport for refusing to get off his electric skateboard.

We love modern families!
Sara Gilbert and wife Linda Perry took a stroll with their adorable son Rhodes Emilio Gilbert Perry on Tuesday. The adorable family was enjoying a sunny day in Los Angeles, CA.
For the walk, Gilbert donned a blue sweatshirt and jeans. Perry opted for a hoodie, black pants and a fedora. The moms outfitted their little man in little white onesie and newsboy cap. Aww!
The former Roseanne star and the former 4 Non Blondes singer welcomed their son Rhodes, who is their first child together, on Feb. 28. Gilbert also shares her son Levi and daughter Sawyer with her ex Alison Adler.

The Lord doesn't have time for silly things like real life problems!
Scott Disick and some pals headed to Barneys in Beverly Hills to spend some of their hard earned cash yesterday, and the reality star certainly doesn't seem too concerned about the fact that his personal life is going up in flames! The father-of-three purchased a few things before speeding off in his pricey Rolls Royce, and love him or hate him... he has the whole lavish living thing down!
The hard partying bad boy's split with his baby mamma has been in the headlines all summer, but it sounds like the family is eager to remedy the problem and bring the couple back together for the sake of the kids. Kanye, in particular, wants LD to step up to the plate and be a positive role model in his children's lives.
"Kanye’s had just enough of Scott’s antics and what it’s doing to the family at large, particularly to his three kids. Scott is stumbling out of bars and restaurants is not a good look and Kanye’s rallying the family to get together to stage one do it or die intervention!" a source dished to Hollywood Life.
We think everyone should back off and give him a second to assess things!

It's weird -- because we thought Josh Duggar was a stand up dude before this!
A new report from Life & Style claims that the disgraced reality star, who admitted to molesting his sisters when he was a teenager, had an affair with stripper and porn star Danica Dillon. We hope Anna Duggar makes it out of hiding long enough to hear this one!
The 28-year-old told the mag that she had sex with the admitted molester on two separate occasions, which she claims occurred when his wife was pregnant with their fourth child. Wow! What a dirty bird!
Danica, who took and passed a polygraph test, details her two sexual encounters with Josh -- and the deets are shocking! The 28-year-old says the family man offered her $1500 for sex, and they did not use a condom. The stripper said, “He was manhandling me, basically tossing me around like I was a rag doll.†Danica, whose real name is Ashley Lewis, said the sex was consensual but, “It was very traumatic. I’ve had rough sex before, but this was terrifying.â€
After it was revealed that Josh had an Ashley Madison account last week, he came clean on Facebook. "I have been the biggest hypocrite ever. While espousing faith and family values, I have secretly over the last several years been viewing pornography on the internet and this became a secret addiction and I became unfaithful to my wife."
Yesterday, the Duggar family confirmed on their website that Josh was headed to rehab to deal with his sex addiction:
“We are so thankful for the outpouring of love, care and prayers for our family during this most difficult situation with Josh. As parents we are so deeply grieved by our son’s decisions and actions. His wrong choices have deeply hurt his precious wife and children and have negatively affected so many others. He has also brought great insult to the values and faith we hold dear. Yesterday Josh checked himself into a long-term treatment center. For him it will be a long journey toward wholeness and recovery. We pray that in this he comes to complete repentance and sincere change. In the meantime, we will be offering our love, care and devoted support to Anna and our grandchildren as she also receives counsel and help for her own heart and future. During this time we continue to look to God—He is our rock and comfort. We ask for your continued prayers for our entire family.â€
Hopefully the dude will get some help because he needs a lot of it!
