JUSTIN BIEBER GETS ROASTED BY SNOOP DOGG, LUDACRIS, & KEVIN HART

The past couple years have been rough for Justin Bieber, but he showed the world that he can laugh at himself during Comedy Central’s “Roast of Justin Bieber,” which was taped on Saturday night. Snoop Dogg, Ludacris, Shaquille O’Neal, Jeffrey Ross, and even Martha Stewart turned out to roast the pop sensation.

Master of ceremonies Kevin Hart kicked off the hilarious evening. “Tonight we’re going to give what his parents and the legal system should have done years ago, we’re going to give this boy an ass-whoopin’,” said the Get Hard star.

Even his “Baby” collaborator Ludacris got in on the fun. “He may have turned 21, but Justin will always be a baby to me. Since babies piss everywhere and never know when to shut up,” said Luda, adding, “Justin Bieber wants to be black so bad, he’s actually seen Kevin Hart’s movies in theaters.”

Martha Stewart gave him advice for prison, a destination she called “inevitable,” and Will Ferrell roasted Bieber as Anchorman‘s Ron Burgundy, while his family and friends including Jaden Smith and Kendall Jenner looked on.

At the end, Biebs got a chance to respond (“What do you get when you give a teenager $200 million? A bunch of has-beens calling you a lesbian for two hours”) and even apologized for his bad behavior.

“I’ve turned a lot of people off in the last few years. But I know I can still put out good music and turn everything all around,” he said. “You have my word—I will not end up broken, pathetic, bitter, or sitting on someone else’s roast. I’m at a moment of change. This is a new day.”

He then hopped on his private jet and flew to Vegas to celebrate his 21st birthday. “I’m going to Vegas…on my jet, bitch!” he announced.

Comedy Central’s “Roast of Justin Bieber” airs March 30 at 10 p.m.

PARENTS AT BLUE IVY SCHOOL ARE ANNOYED WITH BEYONCE AND JAY-Z

Is it because Blue walks around flawless?  Insiders are whispering that the parents at Beyonce and Jay Z's daughter Blue Ivy's posh Hollywood pre-school are fed up with the spectacle the tot creates when she arrives each morning….

From OK 

According to one report, hater parents at the Hollywood preschool Jay Z and Beyonce chose for their little girl are ticked off Blue has two cars and three bodyguards that take her to and from school daily

“A security motorcade drops her off and picks her up from school,” a source reportedly said, adding that parents have complained about the spectacle, calling it “tacky and over-the-top” of Bey and Jay.

The source said that though the elite preschool is full of Hollywood’s offspring, Blue has the most attendants. “Other celebrity kids get dropped off by one driver, not an entire staff,” the insider reportedly said.

On the flip side, is all of this a little too much for a small child? Are Jay and Beyonce going a bit overboard when it comes to Blue’s safety? 

STILL TALKING...ASHANTI DISCUSS BREAK UP WITH NELLY & HER STALKER

Ashanti may have taken a step back from the music scene for a while, but the R&B diva has definitely had her hands full.

The 34-year-old star sat down with talk show host Meredith Vieira (airing tomorrow) to discuss two big things have affected her life recently—dealing with a longtime stalker and breaking up with fellow hip-hop performer Nelly.

"We were talking in the beginning of the show all you've been going through with this man, this stalker," Vieira began. "The way you've handled it to me is very impressive. This is a man, just to remind the audience, he started stalking you, your family really in 2003, 2009 he went to prison for a couple of years, has since come out and has continued the behavior."

Ashanti responded, "It's not fun, it's a little kooky. It's very annoying to continue to take off from what I have to do with work for court and stuff. I think we have to go back to court again this month and I am not thrilled at all."

Ashanti and Nelly split up in 2012 after spending nearly a decade together.
'I think sometimes when people have their own insecurities it allows them to act out of character. I've been betrayed,' Ashanti described.

'Again, you just have to grow, you have to grow up and accept responsibilities for the things that you do. I'm not a big fan of people being cowards. I think it's really important to know yourself and understand what you want and get it. I'm in a different place right now.'

VIDEO: CIARA – ‘I BET’

Since her last album in 2013, Ciara got engaged, gave birth to a baby boy, and experienced a breakup. Now she returns to the spotlight in the video for “I Bet.” In the stunning Hannah Lux Davis-directed clip (“I’m Out”), the hot mama dons ballerina flats, a white leotard, and even goes topless while showing off her post-baby body.

The Harmony Samuels-produced song, which was inspired by her breakup with Future, is the first single off her sixth album Jackie, named after her mother.

“I can now see the world through her eyes and I know what it’s like to be a mom,” she told “Extra.” “I am a mini Jackie and it’s that simple.”

Being a mother to nine-month-old Future Zahir Wilburn has taught her to be more responsible. “He truly is the biggest blessing that God could have ever given me, the sweetest blessing,” she said. “A lot of the decisions that I would have made before him are different now.”

In addition to music, CiCi has also landed a gig on the NBC variety show “I Can Do That,” which premieres this summer.

CHRIS BROWN FIRES BACK AT HATERS: ‘BE BLESSED OR BE QUIET’

Chris Brown has remained quiet since it was revealed that he is the alleged father of a nine-month-old daughter, but he’s had enough. The “Loyal” singer fired back at the gossipmongers and haters in an Instagram post.

Breezy, whose “Between the Sheets Tour” wraps March 19 in Hampton, Va., posted an inspirational quote alongside the praying hands emoji.

“When you’re going through a difficulty and you’re wondering where God is…Remember the teacher is always quiet during the test,” he said.

He also penned a passionate note—which was later deleted—in response to the barrage of nasty comments about him on social media. He called out the youth for promoting negativity and told them to mind their own business.

Some of you ignorant human beings on here have yet to grasp the concept of your own lives. This is for encouragement for anyone dealing with their own issues. Half of yall pages are private and the others look so damn depressing I understand why u feel like u have the right to say some of the most outrageous things possible. U don’t have to like me but one thing is for sure… You all are looking though.. That’s the diffeence between leadership and being a cancer to this planet. We have no real leaders or people to join together for great things anymore. At least not the youth… We will one day drown in a pool of our own negativity. Be blessed or be quiet

On Sunday night, Chris and Trey Songz brought their tour to The Forum in L.A. with special guests including Nicki Minaj, Snoop Dogg, Big Sean, and French Montana.

‘SNL’ PARODIES IGGY AZALEA-AZEALIA BANKS BEEF

The Iggy Azalea and Azealia Banks beef has reached new heights, and even inspired a “Saturday Night Live” skit. During last night’s episode, “SNL” cast member Kate McKinnon played the Aussie rapper as host of her talk show “The Iggy Azalea Show,” while Jay Pharoah was her “producer and rap daddy” T.I.

“You know what else is fun? Feuds. I’m in a new feud errday,” said Iggy.

She then introduced her first guest, one of her “top feud friends,” Azealia Banks.

Banks (Sasheer Zamata), dressed in her neon mesh stage outfit, was begrudgingly there to receive an apology from Iggy.

“I’m over this feud and I know I called you a poser or whatever, but I wanna bury the hatchet,” said Azealia, while Iggy wore her hat.

“Now we’re twinsies,” replied Iggy.

She then brought out actor Chris Hemsworth, who played her cousin/mentor, a RiFF RAFF-inspired character, and capped off the skit by debuting a new song called “Money Ass.”

Neither Iggy or Azealia has responded since the skit aired. Iggy has turned over her social media accounts to her management, while Azealia is taking a break from Twitter for Lent.

DAMAGE CONTROL: NICK GORDON'S MOTHER STAGE AN "INTERVENTION" WITH DR. PHIL

After years of mooching off of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown’s daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, her boyfriend Nick Gordon has no plans to start working for a living now.

When news broke yesterday that Bobbi Kristina Brown’s mooching boyfriend agreed to a sit-down with TV’s Dr. Phil, it was assumed he would discuss the events leading up to Brown’s drowning on Jan. 31. But Gordon is under investigation by Roswell police, and his attorney has surely advised him not to breathe a word about the events of that day. But Dr. Phil has a TV show to run and advertising spots to sell. So instead of Gordon spilling the beans about his role (if any) in Brown’s drowning, all parties involved have agreed that he would undergo “an intervention” staged by his mother…

This is the first that anyone has seen or heard from a relative of Gordon’s — much less his mother.

For years the story has always been that Houston kindly “adopted” Gordon after his mother threw him out of the house. But now that access to Whitney and Bobbi Kristina’s money has been cut off, Gordon (with the help of his mother) is taking his case to the court of public opinion, aka the Dr. Phil Show.

From 11 Alive:

According to the show’s website, the “emotionally-charged invention” will air on March 11. The description says, in part:

    “With his mother Michelle at his side, Gordon expresses the severe pain, mental anguish and panic attacks he says he has been suffering since Brown was found face down and unresponsive in a bathtub in her home in January and over the tragic loss of Whitney Houston three years ago.”

Bobbi Kristina turned 22 on Wednesday at Emory Hospital in Atlanta, where she has been on life support since Jan. 31st.

RIHANNA PREVIEWS NEW SONG ‘HIGHER’

Rihanna is keeping a tight lid on her new album, but she gave her Rihanna Navy a preview of a brand new song on Thursday (March 5). The bad gal took to Instagram to share a couple snippets of a track called “Higher,” produced by Kuk Harrell and Marcos Tovar.

“This whisky got me feelin’ pretty, so pardon if I’m impolite / I just really need your ass with me,” sings RiRi over the melancholy beat before belting out the hook.

“Higher, higher than I’ve ever been, babe / Just come over, let’s pour a drink, babe / I hope I ain’t callin’ you too late.”

KARRUECHE TRAN LEAVES CHRIS BROWN: ‘NO BABY DRAMA FOR ME’

Karrueche Tran is saying deuces to Chris Brown. After it was revealed that the singer has a baby, his girlfriend has decided to move on.

Karrueche took to Twitter on Wednesday (March 4) to share her thoughts after the bombshell announcement that Chris is father to a nine-month-old daughter.

“Listen. One can only take so much. The best of luck to Chris and his family. No baby drama for me,” she tweeted, along with a baby emoji.

The couple has broken up several times in the past, only to get back together.

Chris has yet to respond to the reports, but did profess his love for Karrueche in a recent interview. “The hardest part is trying to keep a monogamous relationship, but still wanting to be the 25-year-old sex symbol,” he told Hot 97. “I love my woman. In the same breath, I like to have fun and she know I like turning up. Even though it’s not a sexual encounter with females, I just like to be around females.”

Chris’ baby mama is a 31-year-old Texas woman named Nia Amey, who used to do modeling and appear in music videos.

T.I. CONFIRMS ‘ATL’ MOVIE SEQUEL
