Justin Bieber Plans to Give Up His Pet Monkey

Saying goodbye to a pet can be really tough. Now imagine having to do it in the public eye. E! News is exclusively reporting that Justin Bieber has decided that it's best to give up his Capuchin monkey, OG Mally, who was a 19th birthday gift from rapper Jamal "Mally Mall" Rashid.

The singer is asking the Munich animal shelter that has housed his pet since detaining him back in March to find him a good home.

According to a spokesperson for the shelter, nothing is official until Justin's manager submits the paperwork. Once that happens, they will recommend to German authorities that Mally be placed in a rescue center or a facility devoted to primates -- not a zoo, where his link to Justin could be used to drum up publicity.

And don't worry: They say that Mally will be allowed to take his beloved stuffed animal along for the ride!

Check out some more shots of the singer and his adorable baby Capuchin back in happier times below.

When we told you last week that The Wanted's Nathan Sykes was taking a brief break from the band in order to recover from throat surgery, we wondered how the boys would survive without him.

It turns out, that even though his bandmates miss him, they're doing just fine.

The group made an appearance at the E! Network upfronts in NYC last night, where they performed a few songs for a crowd that included included Kevin Jonas, Ryan Seacrest, Kim and Kourtney Kardashian, Kelly Osbourne, and Ryan Lochte.

"We never thought we'd be in a room with all these famous faces," they said on stage. "Not naming names...Kardashians!"

Siva Kaneswaran also had the following to say on Twitter:

The boy band's new reality show, The Wanted Life, premieres June 2 on E!. Will you be tuning in?

One Direction plan to hit the US in style this summer. According to The Mirror, the boys have requested that when they hit the States, they be driven around in a customized version of Scooby Doo's Mystery Machine.

This got us thinking, which member of the Scooby Doo gang would each 1D band member be? We think we've got it figured out!

hary-styles-velma.jpg

Harry = Velma

OK sure, Harry has way more tattoos than Velma, and isn't too keen on wearing skirts. But he has the hair and glasses going for him. Plus, we can totally imagine him screaming "Jinkies!" as the boys solve mysteries while out on the road.

Niall = Fred

Niall is definitely the lady's man of the group, and while he may not be as dim-witted as Fred, he could definitely play the part with his blonde 'do.


louis-daphne.jpg

Louis = Daphne

Remember when Louis dyed his hair red for Red Nose Day? If he re-dyed it for the summer, put on a purple dress and green scarf, he's be a dead ringer for Daphne!

Liam has the short hair like Scooby and adorable puppy dog eyes to match. We think he could master Scooby's signature "Ruh Roh" for sure!

Could you imagine Zayn feeding Liam scooby snacks? It would be the cutest thing ever!

What do you think of the boys driving around in a Mystery Machine this summer? Will you be heading to one of their concerts?

Entertainment Weekly just posted the first photo from the set of Divergent, the film adaptation of the first book in Veronica Roth's best-selling YA series. Don't worry, it's not as intense as it looks. Those knives are actually made out of rubber!

The story is set in a dystopian future where people are divided into groups based on their personalities. Our heroine, Beatrice "Tris" Prior (Shailene Woodley), discovers that she's a Divergent who doesn't fit in anywhere -- which is incredibly dangerous.

"It's about being selfless and standing up for what's right," she told the magazine.

She also revealed to EW that the cast -- which includes Ashley Judd, Kate Winslet, Theo James and Zoë Kravitz -- has already bonded.

"It's a good group," Shailene explained. "We're hanging out on weekends, celebrating birthdays. Everyone just wants to get to know one another. It's rare to get a big group together and not have any conflicts. It's really kind of amazing."

MTV recently interviewed Matthew McConaughey, and the topic of Justin Bieber's shirtless escapades just happened to come up. Matt is an advocate of going shirtless in public, so he's all for Justin showing a little abdomen.

The actor's positive statement inspired us to scour Justin's Instagram to find his best shirtless photos. Let us know which ones are your fave!

1. This is the very first shirtless photo Justin ever posted on his Instagram account. We're so glad he decided to make it a trend!

2. Justin by a body of water with the sun majestically shining on him... Is it just us or would this make an amazing postcard?

selena_gomez_z100.jpg

While her recent trip to Norway sparked rumors of a steamy reunion with Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez is making it clear that she isn't interested in talking about her personal life right now.

"I'm in my twenties. I wanna have fun," she explained earlier today on Z100's Elvis Duran and the Morning Show. "I wanna enjoy my life and not have to worry about every single thing."

"I think I've actually given enough of myself, if that makes sense," she continued. "I feel within my music, and even how I handle myself in interviews, people think they know, but they really actually don't...In a way, I like to keep myself a little bit private, but at the same time people do assume things."

As much as we'd love to know the truth about what happened in Norway, we totally respect Selena for wanting to keep her personal life personal. Can you imagine dealing with a breakup from Justin in the public eye?

10 Great Songs Inspired by Bad Breakups

taylor-swift-harry-styles-break-up.jpg

Taylor Swift's new song "Revenge" was leaked earlier this week, and then promptly removed from YouTube. Rumor has it that the track was inspired by her most recent ex, Harry Styles.

While it's unfortunate that Haylor didn't work out, at least we'll get a killer new song out of it. Because let's face it, if artists never went through horrible heartbreaks, most of the best tracks on your breakup playlist wouldn't exist.

Here are 10 of the very best songs inspired by bad breakups. Tell us what we're missing the comments!

1. Every song by Taylor Swift. Ever.

OK, that's a bit of an exaggeration -- but there are definitely more breakup songs by Taylor than we can count on two hands.

2. "Someone Like You" by Adele

Adele's entire album, 21, was inspired by her breakup with her former beau. Looks like Adele got the last laugh, since her album went straight to number one.

3. "Cry Me A River" by Justin Timberlake

Justin's breakup anthem came about after his split with pop superstar Britney Spears. Selena Gomez later used the song to her advantage, singing it at her UNICEF concert shortly after rumors of her split with Justin.

4. "Nothing Like Us" by Justin Bieber

Justin's song about Selena is one of our favorites. Even though it's sad, it's definitely one of his most heartfelt tunes.

5. "Mistake" by Demi Lovato

Even though Demi didn't write "Mistake," she said that she really connected with the lyrics after her breakup with Joe Jonas.

6. "Wide Awake" by Katy Perry

Katy wasn't going to keep her emotions bottled up inside of her after her divorce with Russell Brand. Instead, the singer used her song as an outlet the vent about her hurt feelings.

7. "So What" by Pink

When Pink split with motocross racer Carey Hart she took out her anger in heartbreak in her music, creating one epic breakup song.

8. "7 Things I Hate About You" by Miley Cyrus

When Miley and Nick Jonas split, the Hannah Montana star took the breakup really hard. Though she wasn't shy about telling the public who the song was about. Miley even wore the necklace Nick gave her in the music video for the single.

9. "Much Better" by The Jonas Brothers

Joe Jonas made a dig at Taylor Swift in his song "Much Better" after their breakup singing, "And all the tears on her guitar/ I'm not bitter/ But now I see/ Everything I'd ever need/ Is the girl in front of me/She's much better."

10. "Beggin' on Your Knees" by Victoria Justice

OK, so this one didn't happen in real life. Victorious' Tori wrote this song with Andre after learning that Ryder was just using her to get better grades. But the lyrics about getting revenge on a cheating boyfriend makes it the perfect breakup anthem!

Is there anything Bella Thorne can't do? The talented star first won our hearts playing dancer Cece Jones on Disney Channel's Shake It Up, and her debut single, "TTYLXOX," sold more than 400,000 copies last year.

Now we hear that she's landed a major book deal!

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Autumn Falls series "tells the story of a 14-year-old girl whose life is transformed after an encounter with magic."

"This book, although mysterious and magical, is inspired by different aspects of my personal life, which I hold very near and dear to my heart," says Bella.

"I wanted to write a book that teens could relate to, but with a little bit of magic."

The star shared her excitement on Twitter earlier today:

We're so proud of Bella -- and we can't wait to read her books!

It looks like Justin Bieber has more than an entire album's worth of new music that he'll hopefully be sharing with his fans soon! Earlier in the week, Justin tweeted,

justin-bieber-tweet.png

Curious as to what his "music journals" were, MTV asked the singer's manager, Scooter Braun, to elaborate on the topic.

"Well I don't ever disclose what our plans are, but I will say this: he's been writing one to two songs a day for the entire tour and he actually labels them by the city he writes them in," Scooter explained.

"We started calling it his 'music journal' and we're talking about what should come next musically," he added.

It seems like Justin's new music is definitely going to be personal! Maybe he'll address all the public scrutiny he's been put under lately. We're also hoping he dishes on his status with Selena, since we're not quite sure if they're back on or not.

Are you excited that Justin has written so many new songs?

It seems like Caroline couldn't contain her excitement when her BFF got asked to prom! Though, can you blame her? We're excited for Laura too!

Ryan Beatty

Since Ryan is homeschooled, going to his senior prom isn't exactly possible -- but going as someone's date is! The singer will take one lucky girl and 10 of her friends out to dinner before the dance, and then he'll escort her there. Talk about a night to remember!


Cody Simpson

Cody is not only going to prom, but he's being charitable while doing it! The singer is auctioning himself off for prom -- the girl with the highest bid wins.

Zendaya Coleman

Zendaya went to her first prom on national television! Well, kind of. The 16-year-old Shake It Up star hasn't actually attended the school dance yet, but she did participate in prom night on Dancing With the Stars.

When it comes time to go to prom in real life, Zendaya already knows who'd she like to take. "Honestly, my dream prom date would just be someone that I really like and someone that I would want to spend time with," she has said. "It doesn't have to be a celebrity crush or anything, just someone I really care about."

Victoria Justice

We knew that One Direction star Zayn Malik is a really great boyfriend to Little Mix singer Perrie Edwards, but when we learned how the couple recently celebrated their one year anniversary, we swooned.

They went to the top of Eiffel Tower in Paris. Très romantique!

Perrie has said in interviews that Zayn is the best boyfriend that she has ever had: "Zayn is so lovely. You know things are good when you can't wait to see the other person."

While the couple insists that they aren't planning on getting married anytime soon, Perrie's Little Mix bandmates think that she'll be the first member of the group to get engaged.

If Zayn and Perrie's wedding is anything like their first anniversary, we're expecting an epic celebration!
