After spending some time in the studio working on some new tracks for his next album, teen superstar Justin Bieber ill be taking some time off as a summer vacation. “I’ve been working so hard, I’m taking a month off,” Justin said at a recent event. “It’s been great to just think and enjoy hanging out with my friends. I’m still growing up, and when you’re working every day, you don’t really get a chance to figure out who you are. So with the time off, I’m able to think, pray and just kind of grow up.”

What is Justin planning on doing with some of his time off? “For sure ,” he said. “I’ve been sleeping in a lot.” He’ll also be doing some of his favorite summer stuff like barbecuing! “Favorite thing to do in the summer?” he pondered for a moment. “Have barbecues.”

“I can barbecue. I mean, I don’t make the sauce very well, but I can grill,” Justin says. “No, . I can just grill and stuff.”

Justin also revealed that he’s been working hard on his next album, writing new songs for his third record. ” writing about how I feel and producing. I’ve been producing on my laptop and on my computer,” he said. “I’ve been really into it and, hopefully, this next album will be huge.”

“I’ve done a lot on my acoustic guitar, so it’s gonna have that vibe,” he continued. “I’m not gonna really limit myself. I think music is music, and genre — I mean, I know there’s country music, there’s rock music, but my music is different. My voice is not meant for any style. I just want to make music.”

With her new single Skyscraper making its way into Billboard’s top 10, singer Demi Lovato has opened up about her struggles, admitting that she doesn’t consider herself fully healed.

Demi is currently in the album working on a new album after spending some time in a treatment facility for issues such as an eating disorder and cutting. The star revealed that the new album won’t be as emotionally heavy as Skyscraper. “The sound and feel of the album is going to be a lot lighter. With ‘Skyscraper,’ we wanted to come out of the gate with something very inspirational and something that represents the journey that I’ve been on. But the rest of the album is a lot lighter and more fun.” Demi says.

“It’s definitely a lot more mature than the other stuff that I’ve done. It’s not pop rock, it’s more R&B vocals and it really showcases my vocals, which I’m really proud of. There are some other songs that are as equally intense as ‘Skyscraper’ that I’m excited for people to hear, but for the most part it’s going to be a lot more fun.”

Does Demi’s issues come from being a child growing up in the spotlight? “No. My issues stem from other things that happened in my childhood. They are issues that every girl deals with, whether they’re in the spotlight or not. Cutting has become so common with so many girls and in almost every family people have tried it or experimented with it and there is addiction all over the place. It doesn’t necessarily come from being a quote unquote child star.”

Vanessa looked cute with her new shorter hair and some sunglasses as she sent some texts on her way into the DMV, before heading to the Studio Cafe for a bite to eat.

Vanessa revealed that she cut her hair two months ago for her movie Gimme Shelter, but was sneaky enough to hide it from the paparazzi! “I cut it off as soon as I started the film which was about two months ago,” Vanessa says. “We’ve been shooting in the middle of nowhere, in some pretty hood areas—abandoned hospitals—so it took a while for the paparazzi to figure out where I was, which I am very thankful about.”

“I loved the project so much that I was willing to just go for it for my character to the point where I actually grabbed the scissors and was cutting my hair myself because my character cuts her hair in the beginning of the movie, and it wasn’t looking choppy enough. My director grabbed a big chunk on the top of my head and chopped it too.”
