Justin Bieber's taking on politics and it makes us love him even more! Bieber just condensed all the BS into a single, straightforward, simple Tweet (the only kind President Donald Trump understands). Addressing Trump's efforts to get A$AP Rocky released from jail in Sweden, Justin wrote yesterday, "I want my friend out. I appreciate you trying to help him. But while your [sic] at it can you also let those kids out of cages?" BAM! Way to prioritize, way to use your voice, your platform, way to show the public this is simple -- kids are in CAGES! Immigration policy aside, kids shouldn't be in cages. Period. They don't do that sh*t up north in Bieber's home country of Canada!
I want my friend out.. I appreciate you trying to help him. But while your at it @realDonaldTrump can you also let those kids out of cages?
So back to our love for Bieber ... after he and Hailey and his mom Pattie Mallette and pal Carl Lentz, Hillsong pastor, all ate lunch at WeHo hotspot Zinque, we asked Justin another, less political question, about married life and he said, "Words can't describe!" Then, he proceeded to pinch Baldwin's butt right in front of our camera and we LUV it!

Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin continue a marathon of worship! They are attending Zoe Church's weekend convention after having gone to church last night as well. Today they were at the place of worship bright and early, carrying in supplies to the mega-church's conference.
Then they took a lunch break and lo and behold guess who else was there ... Hillsong pastor Carl Lentz and Justin's mom Pattie Mallette! It's all in the family!
But it seemed like Hailey wasn't well as they all stepped out of the van and Hails was rubbing her eyes, Justin was folding her arms looking stern. What happened in the van?! Or was it something that got to her at church?
Well when the gang broke for lunch at one of the couple's favorite spots Linque in West Hollywood then they made a pit stop on the way back to church -- Justin and Carl jumping out at the new Palace Skateboards shop to pick up a hoodie for Justin. Along for the ride -- as always -- is a cameraman JB's hired to document his and Hailey's every move! What's up? Is Bieber making an autobiographical documentary? We wouldn't doubt it! And if he is ... we're first in line for tickets!

What do Justin and Hailey do as soon as they touch down in LA after a vacation? They go to church!
The newlyweds attended a Zoe Church session Friday night -- it's a sister church to their preferred place of worship Hillsong. Hailey wore a nude colored sweatsuit with dad sneakers and chain link necklace while Bieber continued his effort to bring back baggy pants! The singer sported some seriously low-riding Drew House cords with a floral-print shirt and baseball cap. They were escorted by a bodyguard.
The pair are said to have been on vacation in Canada at the home they bought together in Ontario. They were pretty much off the radar for about a week except for Hailey coming to her hubby's defense when heavy alt-rock singer Maynard Keenan expressed it was a "#bummer" that Justin Bieber is a fan of his band Tool. What a tool! Hailey took to Twitter to call out the idiot. She was also active on Instagram, posting an old runway modeling pic of herself with a critique of her arm placement saying she wouldn't return to the catwalk, which led fans to believe she might quit modeling!
So back to last night ... there's a random dude following the couple around, as of late. He wears Balenciaga sweatshirts and Louis Vuitton jackets and he carries a video camera which leads us to believe he's some rich kid making a documentary about Justin and Hailey. We want more info on this!!! Justin, what's up?!
Kylie Jenner and her Instgrammable friends are back in Los Angeles after a "summer vacation" to promote Kylie Skin. The troupe posted countless photos to social media during their time on the Caribbean Island and by all accounts the PR trip was a success! Mission accomplished! In other words, the ladies' pix made men and women swoon, gave us all serious FOMO, offered up some sexy beach fashion, and did it in a color palette worthy of Kylie Skin just enough for some subconscious message to seep into our brains that tells us to BUY KYLIE SKIN!
Ky and friends posed in matching pastel monokinis, Kylie donned some weird trompe l'oeil suit, and new BFF Sofia Richie (invited along because she's dating Scott Disick, obvi) even posted a farewell serious of pix as she mugged on the beach in a one-piece jumpsuit. Ahhh, summer vacay vibes OVER!

After a stressful day in court, Katy Perry headed to West Hollywood hotspot Craig's to blow off some steam! The singer testified in a copyright infringement lawsuit against her and music producer/collaborator Dr. Luke for their hit single "Dark Horse."
A Christian singer Flame, claims Perry and Luke sampled his 2008 single "Joyful Noise." The singer claims because of Perry's Christian upbringing -- her father being a minister -- she was more likely to have listed to his type of music back in the day and was arguably aware of the song by the Grammy-nominated singer.
Katy's defense team claims she'd never heard it and would have had no reason to -- Katy herself stated on the stand yesterday that she mostly listened to "secular music." She also defended the omission of the allegedly infringed portion of the song in her 2015 Super Bowl halftime performance, saying she had only 12 minutes to perform and wanted to get in as many songs as possible so the intro (the contested beats) was dropped ... even though that performance happened just months after Flame's suit was filed.
Perry also outlined, in detail, the creative process between her and Dr. Luke and explained that "YouTubing" during studio sessions -- a self-described practice she has mentioned in interviews -- is simply searching for cute cat videos by not searching the video sharing platform for beats to lift.
On a more light-hearted note, a funny thing happened in the courtroom -- as one of the attorneys attempted to play "Dark Horse" over the courtroom speakers, there were technical glitches and Katy offered to perform the single live :) Unfortunately for attendees, the speaker system ended up working and Katy didn't sing live. Bummer!

It's getting crowded on the west side! LeBron James traded in his Brentwood Park traditional in 2017 for a larger, newer, bigger, better contemporary manse just up the street in the summer of 2017 for a cool $23M. He's been enjoying the high life there (high up on a hill, with a nice view of Santa Monica and the Bay) and now he's got a new neighbor -- perhaps even richer than he! -- Formula One Group heiress Petra Ecclestone.
She's British, you may not have heard of her -- she plunked down $85 million for the Aaron Spelling mansion in Holmby Hills when she made her debut in LA, moving here from London eight years ago. Well, perhaps she decided being in smog-ridden Beverly Hills-ish wasn't so great, so she decided to downsize and move to the west side where she can breathe a bit. And it wasn't a bad deal for her -- the buyer just paid $120 million for the former spelling estate -- a record for LA County so far this year!
With just about half the profit, she picked up this Brentwood mansion for $22.7M which features 8 bedrooms, 13 baths, 4 fireplaces, and certainly tons of other bells and whistles. It's not quite completed, so she'll be able to put the finishing touches on this dream home. Perhaps she's camping out at neighbor LeBron's house while her carpenters hammer their last nails! The two mega-rich A-listers will be just across the street from each other, within cup-a-sugar-borrowing distance.
Another A-lister's preparing to move in just up the street -- an A-list couple, that is -- Michelle Pfeiffer and hubby David E. Kelley. They just bought up THREE adjacent lots in Pacific Palisades' tony Riviera neighborhood. They're already quite advanced in the construction of an architectural masterpiece by famed firm Johnston Marklee. It's a crazy cool contemporary that will house the couple's impressive art collection and which overlooks Santa Monica Bay with a spectacular hillside view. It's just around the corning from Kate Hudson, Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner and a billion other celebs who call Riviera home.
Just some real estate porn to tide you over on this Friday!

Jake Paul is the king of fake-outs, which is why we question his engagement to Tana Mongeau in the first place (btw, 90% of you think their engagement is fake, according to our poll) ... and NOW we're questioning his Caci Twins' claim that they found a pregnancy test in his bathroom!
When we caught up with Jake and Tana last night at Craig's, we asked the newly-engaged couple if she's pregnant with twins because ... why not? The Caci Twins say Tana's trying to hide her pregnancy from Jake because why -- she wanted to make sure he was marrying her for love and not for paternity?
Still going strong! After much speculation over Britney Spears' relationship with personal trainer Sam Asghari, a new video the singer posted proves they're still together!
Spears and Asghari show off their amazing bods in a clip that begins with a montage of photos and flows into a dance video -- YES, a dance video! These two are HOT!!!
