by Antoinette Bueno      1:56 PM PDT, June 29, 2015

Looks like the drama between Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez is far from being over.

Justin dropped the music video for his latest single, Skrillex and Diplo's "Where Are U Now," on Monday, in which fans see a much more vulnerable side of the 21-year-old singer. In the video, people are asked to come into a gallery and graffiti over photos of his face. At one point during the trippy video, the writing spells out, "Where r now, Selena."

"Justin wrote this record during a tough time in his life and it comes to us that sometimes, as artists, we are also just objects and we have to take that as much as we have to use that to create," Skrillex and Diplo wrote in a statement accompanying the video on YouTube. "We all do this for you, respect that you put us here and it's Ü that made the video."

Aside from looking pretty somber, Justin also shows off some dance moves in the video. Fast-forward to the 1:37 mark to see Justin's signature swagger.

With lyrics like, "Now I'm all alone and my joys turned to moping/Tell me, where are you now that I need you?/ Couldn't find you anywhere/When you broke down I didn't leave ya/I was by your side/where are you now that I need ya?" it isn't hard to imagine the song is about his on-again, off-again relationship with Selena.

Brown, who was arrested in 2009 after physically assaulting then-girlfriend Rihanna, kicked off his performance with “Liquor” before Tyga joined him on stage to perform “Ayo.”

The “Loyal” singer, who even zip-lined mid-performance, wrapped up his performance with Omarion and their track “Post to Be,” which RiRi knew all the words to.

HIP-hop music mogul Diddy, real name Sean Combs, has been arrested after getting into a fight with his son’s football coach at practice.

Diddy was on the campus of the University of California, in Los Angeles where his son is on the football team, police said.

Diddy, 45, was arrested at UCLA’s Acosta Athletic Training Complex on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon shortly after 12:30pm, according to a statement from campus police.

The deadly weapon was a kettlebell, which is used by athletes in weight training.

No one was seriously injured and campus police are investigating. Officials did not identify the victim of the assault, or say what led to it.

TMZ however have identified the victim as Sal Alosi, the strength and conditioning coach and a former NY Jets coach who was suspended by the NFL in 2010 after tripping a Miami Dolphins player who was covering a punt.

Diddy’s son Justin Combs is a redshirt junior defensive back on the UCLA football team, which has been practising on campus. He has played in just a handful of games in his three years with the team.

Football coach Jim Mora thanked his staff in the statement for their professionalism in handling the situation.

“This is an unfortunate incident for all parties involved,” Mora said. “While UCPD continues to review this matter, we will let the legal process run its course and refrain from further comment at this time.”

Combs’ representatives did not immediately respond to requests for details or comment.

The arrest was first reported by TMZ.

Selena Gomez: ‘I don’t trust anyone’

EARLY fame has turned grown-up child star Selena Gomez into a suspicious young woman who reveals she struggles to make new friends because she has trust issues.

The former Wizards of Waverly Place star grew up in the limelight, and has become tabloid fodder in recent years, thanks in part to her on/off romance with Justin Bieber, and in an interview with New York’s Z100 radio station, the 22 year old admits the constant gossip and false rumours about her have prompted her to put a wall up between herself and the people in her life.

“You can’t talk about anything that you want to share with people because it’s going to be ripped apart, and that’s what makes me really sad. That’s why I had to start doing it through my music and that was the whole reason why The Heart Wants What it Wants came out - because I was, like, ‘I have a right to say what I’m going to say. If you’re going to sit here and talk about my life, I have a right to say what I want and obviously I’m going to do it the way I wish to’.

“But it is unfortunate, and you have to be guarded... I don’t trust anyone... It’s something that I have to live with and I have to find the balance of who I want in my life and who isn’t good for me.”

Gomez says she relies on her loyal fans, and turns to social media to connect with them when she feels stories about her are getting out of hand.

She continues, “My fans know who I am, so no matter what happens or what people are saying about me, what’s going to come through is who I am. If I was truly everything that people say I am, you would see it. It’s not like I can hide anything any more.

“My life is so public that I do take that into consideration. But I’m also a normal person, I’m a human being and I’m feeling things. I get sad, I get anxious, I get emotional, I get happy!”

After a long day promoting her new single ‘Good For You’ in New York City, Selena Gomez let loose during the nighttime on June 22. The singer flaunted her cleavage during a night out with pal Alexander DeLeon, and it looks like she was having a great time!

Selena Gomez, 22, is taking the plunge! The “Good For You” singer enjoyed a night out with The Cab rocker Alexander DeLeon, 26, in New York City and she looked absolutely fabulous in a plunging, black jumpsuit. Get it, girl!

The 22-year-old’s classy ensemble featured a low-cut neckline that went almost down to her belly button, but showed off just the right amount of cleavage. She completed her look by pulling her hair back into a tight ponytail, adding a pop of light pink lipstick and a pair of black heels.

 But don’t jump to conclusions about Selena’s company for the evening! She and Alexander are friends, and were even photographed sharing a huge embrace during their New Year’s trip to Dubai. However, he’s been in a happy relationship with Victoria’s Secret model Josephine Skriver since December 2013!

Celebrities have been banned by China's media regulator from appearing as presenters on television shows to ensure no "improper remarks" are made on air, state news agency Xinhua has reported.

The Chinese government frequently takes aim at what it considers base, vulgar, or politically inappropriate entertainment, and celebrities, such as actors and actresses, are the latest to be come under fire.

"TV stations often hire famous actors, actresses and celebrities as guest hosts, especially for popular reality shows, which might result in improper remarks or mistakes during live broadcasting," Xinhua said, citing the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television.

In the latest move to tighten control over the state-run media sector, television hosts must now have proper vocational qualifications, which will be checked.

"TV shows, including news, commentary and interview panels, should not recruit guests in the role of supporting host," Xinhua said.

"TV hosts are responsible for the show, guiding the audience and controlling the pace of the live broadcast.

"Thus, it is unsuitable for guests to be hosts or presenters."

Hosts and guests must undergo "more training" before shows are recorded, the report said.

Taylor Swift

Band-Aids don’t fix bullet holes, and it looks like Taylor Swift has opened a wound. The Grammy winner, 25, who recently triumphed over Apple Music’s three-month free trial period, is now in the hot seat herself. Swift, the champion for up-and-coming artists, has been accused of limiting another art form: photography. 

PHOTOS: Taylor's best surprised faces

Photographer Jason Sheldon penned an open letter to Swift about her own policies regarding image rights. In the note, Sheldon begins by praising Swift’s recent coup over the new music streaming service. 

“It’s great to have someone with a huge following standing up for the rights of creative people and making a stand against the corporate behemoths who have so much power they can make or break someone’s career,” Sheldon wrote.

He went on to highlight that photographers wouldn’t have such a positive response when standing up for themselves. 

“There are hundreds of professional concert photographers who don’t enjoy that security — they don’t have the voice you do, and they don’t have the public favor that you have when it comes to demanding fair rights for their work, and they have a much higher risk of being prevented from working in future, not just at your shows, but any show which is connected by the same promoter, venue, PR, or management company,” Sheldon continued.

Sheldon then shared a document he claims he was asked to sign in order to cover one of Swift’s concerts. 

“You say in your letter to Apple that ‘Three months is a long time to go unpaid.’ But you seem happy to restrict us to being paid once, and never being able to earn for our work ever again, while granting you the rights to exploit our work for your benefit for all eternity,” Sheldon adds. “How are you any different to Apple?"

PHOTOS: Biggest celeb feuds ever

He concluded by writing, “Photographers don’t ask for your music for free. Please don’t ask us to provide you with your marketing material for free. Time to stop being ‘Mean’.”

Swift has yet to publicly respond to Sheldon’s letter, but BBC noted that her reps have already disputed the letter. 

"The standard photography agreement has been misrepresented in that it clearly states that any photographer shooting The 1989 World Tour has the opportunity for further use of said photographs with management's approval,” a spokesperson for Swift said in a statement. To clarify, Sheldon's rights contract was in regard to a previous concert tour, not the current 1989 World Tour.
