We had no idea things were this dire!
In the wake of Mac Miller's tragic death, Justin Bieber's manager Scooter Braun has revealed that he was constantly concerned JB would suffer that same fate until he rediscovered his faith and cleaned up his act.
“There was a time when I would go to sleep almost every night — when he had the money to fly away from me — and I was worried every night that I was going to lose him. “I thought he was going to die. I thought he was going to sleep one night and that he would have so much crap in his system that he would not wake up the next morning," Braun confessed on The Red Pill podcast.
When he tried to step in and help The Biebs, Scooter was met with a lot of pushback, but eventually the "Sorry" crooner realized he needed to change.
"He used to yell and scream at me, and he wanted to put music out, he wanted to tour, but I thought if he did that, he would die. I think he made a conscious choice for himself to change. I think for a year and a half I failed miserably trying to help him, because for a year and a half he didn’t change … It wasn’t until one day he woke up and said, ‘Hey, I need to talk to you. I don’t want to be that person anymore,’†he continued.
"And he used to complain, and he used to fight it and that’s when he got into a dark place, but when he accepted his responsibility and took a hard look at himself and not what everyone was doing, that’s when he owned it and he got healthy," he added.
We're so confused... is the pop star sober now? What was he doing that was so bad? We need to know!
Kylie Jenner recently admitted that pregnancy permanently changed her body, but she still looks pretty darn good to us! The reality star posed in a white bathing suit on Instagram, and she has curves in all the right places. Travis Scott is a lucky man!
The LipKit queen has a ton of haters on the Internet that love nothing more than tearing her down, and she made a Snapchat video about bullying to reach out to kids suffering the same cruelty.
"Half of you guys think I'm weird. And the other half think I'm funny. But I've been bullied since I've been nine. From the whole world it feels like sometimes," she said in the clip.
"And I think, I think I've done a really great job in handling all of this. But there're bullies everywhere. So this just a little like snapchat to tell whoever with their own bullies that the only opinion that really matters is yours and to never change," she added.
Out of nowhere, she's our favorite of the KarJenner clan!

This is random!
Debra Messing and Susan Sarandon have been trading jabs on Twitter, after the Will and Grace star went after the Stepmom actress for saying that Donald Trump has inspired women to run for office.
“This is a revolution. Maybe things had to get so bad before real change actually could happen. We just have to stay awake," Sarandon told Variety.
“STFU SUSAN. Oh yes, PLEASE let’s give Trump CREDIT. I mean how else are you able to walk out on the street. Convince yourself that that this CATASTROPHE of a President who you said was better that [Hillary Clinton] IS NOT ripping children away from parents seeking asylum. holding children… INDEFINITELY in internment camps with their new policy, DESTROYING all attempts to protect our environment (yes the water you properted to care about), endangered animals, taking away women’s ACCESS to health care and legal abortion, trying to block POC from Voting with extreme… Judges who will support jerrymandering efforts, not to mention destroying ALL good will and allied relationships across the Globe," Messing tweeted in response.
"Oh, and lest you forget Syria, Crimea, and putting PRO-RUSSIA agenda BEFORE the United States best interests. YES, do go on… And LAUD the effect Trump has had. Out of DESPERATION & PANIC for the DESTRUCTION of the Soul of our country. But you don’t want to look at THAT part of the equation. Because then you’d have to admit you were dead WRONG running around bellowing that HRC was more dangerous than… Trump. Only a self righteous, narcissist would continue to spout off and not – in the face of Americans’ pain and agony -be contrite and apologize for your part in this catastrophe. But, you do you Susan," she added.
That's when the A-lister jumped in to defend herself.
“Debs, before you get yourself all self-righteous try clicking on the video and listening to what I actually say, not @Variety’s clickbait headline, which btw has no quotation marks. That’s a clue..†she clapped back.
These fiery redheads know how push each other's buttons!

Kendall Jenner isn't nude on THIS horse but in some X-rated pix that leaked online today she's buck naked on a different horse, on a beach, and on the top of everyone's daily news feeds!
Here's what went down -- it's not something scandalous, like a boyfriend revenge-posting naked pix -- Kendall was modeling. She was doing an artsy shoot for an upcoming Victoria's Secret coffee table book. Frankly, we don't understand what hot girls running around naked has to do with selling underwear, but somehow VS has morphed into a modern-day Playboy ... and yet Playboy isn't even doing nude photo shoots anymore!
So anyway, a photographed called Russell James took pix of the lovely 22-year old completely unclothed, on an unnamed beach, running and in some frames, riding a horse. The pix "leaked" online (or perhaps it's the best "organic" marketing EVER for a coffee table book) and the Twittersphere can hardly take it.
People are laughing AND crying! And shaming ... take a look at some of the reactions:
Could all of this be feeding into Kendall's self-admitted insecurities and could it have something to do with the reason she left New York Fashion Week early? Actually, we think not -- because that saddle she was back in today is a Longchamp photo shoot in Paris. She's working, bitches!

Ben Affleck's got a serious case of 99 problems! As the troubled actor struggles through a the grueling rehabilitation process at The Canyon luxury treatment center in the serene Malibu Mountains, news drops that Warner Bros' DC Comics Batman franchise is DUMPING Affleck as its Dark Knight!
Okay, so maybe the decision has nothing to do with Affleck's supposed addiction -- The Hollywood Reporter says the studio maybe be trying to hit the "reset button" with the DC films, as the industry rag also reports Henry Cavill is OUT as Superman!
So what's next for Ben? Maybe a nice ABC Family made-for-TV movie and some back tattoo removal???

Thank you for not being afraid, Lili Reinhart!
The 21--year-old Riverdale actress got REAL in an interview with Glamour, opening up about what she labels a specific type of "body dysmorphia" over her skin issues.
"I cried last night to my mom over FaceTime because of how ugly I felt I looked,†Reinhart says. “My skin has caused me a lot of anxiety and sadness. I have a specific type of body dysmorphia that stems from acne. I see any acne on my face as an obsessive thing. [It’s] the only thing I can think about, and it makes me want to hide."
Meanwhile, her hunky boyfriend Cole Sprouse looks past any of Lili's perceived skin problems but we still don't hear either of them speak much about the other. The couple keeps their relationship fairly on the DL, but in a surprising move the other day, Sprouse posted the FIRST REAL PROOF the two are together and he seems to be confirming they're dating! This makes them Instagram official, y'all!

Check out Jennifer Garner's look-alike nanny! The mother-of-three was SERIOUSLY twinning with her kids' babysitter on Tuesday, as the two wore grey tops, matching jeans, the same white sneakers, dark sunnies and even the same length brunette hair, parted down the middle! They were even both drinking LaCroix sparkling water, her goodness' sake!
We spotted the pair walking to the car after pick-up at daughter Seraphina and son Samuel's school -- immediately after, Jen took Sera for a quick snack at the Brentwood Country Mart before the 9-year-old's karate class.
And as Jen keeps the family running smoothly while the kids' dad Ben is in rehab, the actor himself is trying to clean up in more ways than one!
We spotted Ben taking leave of The Canyon treatment facility in Malibu to visit his Beverly Hills dentist yesterday and it didn't look fun! In fact, isn't nitrous oxide (laughing gas) off-limits for addicts? Ben looks like he had a serious does as he rode back to Malibu in the car, chauffeured by a sober coach from the facility. Hey, whatever it takes!

Just because she's a richer-than-god Kardashian doesn't mean Kendall Jenner is immune to psychological issues!
The young supermodel has made some shocking admissions recently -- telling reporters the other day she ditched New York Fashion Week five days early due to a "freak out." What?!
The 22-year-old, who has also admitted to Trypophobia -- or a fear of holes, said she was "stressing out" in the Big Apple and had to give herself a break: "I try to keep myself cool. I go in and out of having freak-outs, so I just have to chill out and be by myself. Yesterday, I took a bath because I was really stressing out. I lit some candles, and, yeah," she told W mag.
She then said she had fun sitting in the audience watching her friends on the catwalk, rather than being on the platform herself. Kendall even skipped walking the Longchamps show -- kind of shocking, given that she's the face of the brand's HUGE new campaign.
She does find solace in her modeling pals, however, as she illustrated in this Instagram last week ...
Still, fans have speculated her early departure may be related to controversial comments she made to LOVE Magazine when she said: "I was never one of those girls who would do like 30 shows a season or whatever the f**k those girls do. More power to 'em."
She later to to Twitter to correct her intentions and to say her words had been taken out of context, writing: "as misrepresented in a recent interview over the wknd & it’s important to clarify the meaning. It was intended to be entirely complimentary but unfortunately, my words were twisted & taken out of context.I want to be clear. The respect that I have for my peers is immeasurable!"
In August, Kendall said she was "on the verge of a mental breakdown" last year and that's why she had to take a hiatus from her hectic modeling schedule.
Is Kendall keeping healthy by getting out when she knows she can't take it anymore or should she retire early from the spotlight and stay home?
Poll
Can Kendall Jenner hack it as a model?
No, she seems too emotional fragile - she should retire.
Of course! She's young and she's figuring things out. She'll be fine!
