The Biebs Is Off The Market???
Maybe he noticed how much attention Ariana Grande & Pete Davidson’s whirlwind romance is getting? According to some pretty reliable sources, Justin Bieber popped the question to his on-again-off-again girlfriend, model Hailey Baldwin, over the weekend. Looking back, their history is almost as complicated as his thing with Selena Gomez.
The couple shut down romantic rumors in 2014, with Hailey telling E! News "I've known him since I was so young -- since I was like 13 -- and we've just been good friends over the years," she said. "We have just stayed close and there's nothing more to it than that.” And Justin posting an Instagram photo of them together with the caption "People are crazy. I'm super single and this is my good friend u would know otherwise.”
They officially became a couple for the first time in 2016, but at that time Bieber said he wasn’t ready for a committed relationship, telling GQ "What if Hailey ends up being the girl I'm gonna marry, right? If I rush into anything, if I damage her, then it's always gonna be damaged. It’s really hard to fix wounds like that. It's so hard.... I just don't want to hurt her.” By August they had broken up and moved on. Hailey spoke about that period earlier this year, telling the UK’s The Times "We didn't speak for quite some time and there was a lot of weirdness that went on. But it brought both of us to the realization that we just work much better as friends. He's somebody I really cherish. Now it's a very mature situation. It's good.”
And of course, there were all those rumors about Hailey and Shawn Mendes as recently as May, when they attended the Met Gala together. Shawn was quick to shut those down, saying they were just “very good friends” - but Hailey pulled an interesting move once she got back together with Justin, deleting all of her photos of Shawn (there were lots) from her Insta feed.
Now it looks like Jailey is going to be a permanent thing. Haiber? Baldber? Hit us up @livexlive on socials if you have a better working couple name for these two.

NOTD and Bea Miller Talk Their Collab
Swedish EDM act NOTD (it’s pronounced “noted”) and up and coming artist Bea Miller are hoping they’ve released the song of the summer, and sat down on TRL recently to talk about how the track came about. They also took on the real life circumstance that led Bea to write the song.
TRL wasn’t the only stop for Bea in NYC this week – she also performed at youth pride.
Do you think Bea Miller and NOTD can make it to the top of the charts this summer? Listen, heart and share the song on Slacker Radio to help boost it onto the Slacker Top 40!
The Carters Blend Their Love of Trap Music & Great Art
JUST IMAGINE having so much pull that you’re able to book Paris' Louvre as the set of your video shoot. I have so many questions. What were their insurance costs on being that close to priceless works of art? How many security guards do they have standing around just outside the frame? And do Beyonce and Jay-Z have some kind of dirt on whoever’s in charge of one of the most famous museums in the world to get this kind of favor?
The Carters are making their joint musical debut – and true to their brand, the release was a complete surprise. They dropped the 9 song EP Everything Is Love on Saturday and blew the world away.
I mean, sure, Lambos & blinged out chains are nice, but Rap’s First Couple are raising the bar on what luxury means. Check out the video and let us know what you think!
