This week, Netflix finally dropped the one-sheet poster and the full-length trailer for Pablo Larrain?s Maria, starring Angelina Jolie as Maria Callas. The poster is GORGEOUS and so, so striking. Before you watch the trailer, let me just remind everyone that Angelina actually trained for months with an ?opera coach? so that she could sing some of Callas? most famous performances. Then Larrain had Jolie?s vocals mixed with the Callas recordings, so that you can hear some of Jolie?s voice in there too. Within the trailer, I hear Callas but not Jolie. But the performance, from what we can see here, is incredible. Angelina is playing her age as well ? she?s no longer the ingenue and no longer the badass action star. She?s a woman who is nearly 50 years old, playing (for the most part) an opera singer in her 50s.

A few superficial things? the wig work is fantastic. When you go back and look at Callas? hair and hairstyles, they really did a good job on Jolie?s wigs. Secondly, the period clothing is magnificent. I wonder if Angelina was allowed to keep some of it, because it looks amazing on her. Anyway, for Oscar eligibility, Maria will get a limited theatrical run starting in late November, then it will stream on Netflix starting December 11.

It?s been a rough few weeks in royal gossip. While there?s plenty to discuss with King Charles and Queen Camilla?s current flop tour, Prince William and Kate have disappeared. The Sussexes have as well, although the usual suspects can?t take Harry and Meghan?s names out of their mouths. But the Wales kids are on their school holiday, and William and Kate use their kids? school holidays to disappear every single time. All of which to say, the royalist press is getting really desperate for any kind of content, which is why they?re running stories about Kate?s princess jeggings. This new People Mag exclusive is a next-level ?we?re desperate for anything about Kate? story though. Remember Kate?s bonkers DIY Hobby Lobby headpiece at last year?s coronation? Well, People has a hilarious interview with Jess Collett, who designed the custom headpiece, at great expense ? Kate reportedly spent ?32,000 on the headpiece alone. Sorry, according to Collett, it is a ?tiara? not a headpiece.

In the world of millinery, designing a tiara for a future Queen is a life-defining moment. That was the task at hand for Jess Collett, the British hatmaker who was chosen to create one-of-a-kind headpieces for both Kate Middleton and Princess Charlotte for King Charles? coronation on May 6, 2023.

While there was much speculation in the weeks leading up to the big day as to whether Kate would wear something befitting her status as future Queen ? guests were asked to wear hats or fascinators to the event, and PEOPLE learned several weeks before the event that Kate was unlikely to wear a traditional tiara ? Collett says there was never any doubt in her head what she was creating.

?It was a tiara that I made for the princess, but it was very much based on a piece that I have called ?The Golden Crown? ? a band of leaves made from gold leather,? she tells PEOPLE in an exclusive interview. Of ?The Golden Crown,? which has been on display in her Notting Hill atelier, ?When people wear it, and many people have hired it, they always tell me after that they felt fabulous and radiant from inside,? Collett adds.

Constructed from silver leaves made from tulle, the tiara sparkled bright thanks to the tiny crystals scattered amongst the delicate leaves, each one hand embroidered with real silver thread. The striking design was considered a triumph, even by Collett?s children.

?We were at home watching it from the sofa, in my pajamas with my family. When Catherine arrived, I just ? even my children went, ?Oh wow, Mum, it looks really good.? And you know children are not afraid to tell the truth!? Collett says. ?It was so exciting and nerve-wracking, but everything I have ever dreamed of.?

While the coronation was the first time Collett worked with the Princess of Wales, 42, she?s certainly hoping it won?t be the last. ?I remember thinking at the time, ?Well, I won?t have to do this again, because she?ll be wearing the actual crown next time!? ? Collett says. ?But she always looks good. She?s confidant in her style and she?s so graceful ? she?s really grown into the role.?

[From People]

As GB News points out, Kensington Palace explicitly said that Kate was not wearing a tiara and that the headpiece should not be considered a tiara. Personally, I think the confusion over what to call it is all because Camilla wanted to be the only woman dripping in stolen jewels. Camilla wanted to be the last horse standing and wear all of the diamonds she could get her hands on. I think Camilla ordered all of the royal women to not wear tiaras or lavish jewels because Camilla is also terrified of having her thunder stolen. As for Kate?s headpiece? I still find it so cheap-looking? It really does look like a fashion-school project, and I think it was really inappropriate for an occasion like the coronation.

Tim Burton has had a retrospective museum exhibit touring for 10 years. It includes everything from drawings, paintings, character sketches, recreations of his studio, and some work from frequent film collaborators, like costume designer Colleen Atwood. There are about 600 items in total. The exhibit has gone to 14 cities in 11 countries (it was in Turin, Italy last year when he was forced to take a hiatus filming Beetlejuice Beetlejuice because of the actors strike), and is now making its last stop in his hometown of 20 years, London. The World of Tim Burton is now open at the Design Museum, features 90 new objects, and will run for six months. Tim took some time off from filming the second season of Wednesday to visit and promote the final show opening. He talked to BBC News about what makes him depressed (the Internet), what makes him happy (clouds and dinosaur models), and the humane emotions of monsters:

The internet makes him short circuit: ?If I look at the internet, I found that I got quite depressed,? the 66-year-old said. ?It scared me because I started to go down a dark hole. So I try to avoid it, because it doesn?t make me feel good.? ? Reflecting on his use of the internet, Burton said: ?I get depressed very quickly, maybe more quickly than other people. But it doesn?t take me much to start to click and start to short circuit.?

Head in the clouds: The film-maker said keeping busy and doing simple things such as looking at clouds helps him feel better. As does his collection of ten giant dinosaur models that he keeps in his backyard including a 20ft T-Rex. Burton pulls out his mobile phone and proudly shows us a picture of a 50-foot Brontosaurus. He buys the ones you find at amusement parks, adding that actor Nicolas Cage has ?real ones?.

He likes monsters because they?re emotional: ?It was very clear from King Kong to Frankenstein to Creature from the Black Lagoon that all the monsters were the most emotional. The humans were the ones that scared me,? he said. ?They were the angry villagers in Frankenstein ? like the internet ? these nameless faces [Burton makes monster roaring noises] and the monster always had the most emotion and most feeling even though they?re looked upon as a certain way. ?Every monster usually has some kind of pathos and some kind of humanity? that the humans lacked he added.

Hollywood is Alice in Wonderland: He admits to feeling invigorated with recent successes of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and the Netflix series Wednesday, of which he directed four episodes. ?The Hollywood journey is an Alice in Wonderland kind of journey. You go up, you go down, you go sideways. That?s the way it is,? he said. ?What I realize now, maybe because I?m older as well, is OK I?m just gonna do what I want. And if you want to do it, fine. If not, then you don?t have to go on this journey with me?.

Don?t ?esque? him! However when discussing his success, Burton tells us that he rejects the term ?Burtonesque? even though it?s widely used in popular culture to describe his oeuvre. ?I never liked that,? he says firmly. ?I don?t want to become a thing. It?s taken me my whole life to try to be something like resembling human?.

[From BBC News]

Oh, Tim. He?s just an emotional monster trying to process his feelings through art! I don?t know how to convince kids to get off the Internet and stare at clouds instead, but it?s a very endearing image to picture mid-60?s Tim stepping outside to calm down by looking up. But really, I?m gonna need a lot more information about this model dinosaur business. He has 10 giant dinos in his city backyard?! Is he living in one of the vacant palaces? Bitches from London, is it typical to have enough outdoor space to house a dozen 20 to 50 foot tall structures? And look, as a childless dog lady, it?s been awhile since I?ve visited an amusement park. But I do not recall big dinosaurs being a part of the scenery.

Anyway, I wish I were in London to see the show. I?m a big fan of his 2D artwork, especially his sketches and watercolors. The show runs until April 21, and then it?s all over. I?m still holding out hope that the stolen Beetlejuice sculpture will finally be recovered, and join the exhibit for the last few months.

Broadway actress Sutton Foster has been married to screenwriter Ted Griffin since 2014. They have one child together, a seven-year-old daughter. If you aren?t familiar with Sutton?s work, she?s a big deal on Broadway. She got her big break in the early 2000s as the lead in the musical Thoroughly Modern Millie. Most recently, Sutton has been starring as Princess Winnifred in the latest revival of Once Upon a Mattress. In 2022, Sutton co-starred in The Music Man with Hugh Jackman. As you know, Hugh and his wife, Deborra-Lee Furnace, announced their separation last September. At the time, there were rumors that Hugh had left Deborra-Lee for Sutton. Sutton filed for divorce this week.

?Younger? star Sutton Foster has filed for divorce from ?Ocean?s Eleven? screenwriter Ted Griffin, Page Six has learned ? amid buzz she is moving on with her former ?The Music Man? co-star Hugh Jackman.

The ?Once Upon a Mattress? star filed for uncontested divorce in New York County Supreme Court on Tuesday. Sutton and Griffin were wed in October 2014 in a private ceremony in Santa Barbara, Calif. She picked out her wedding dress on TLC?s ?Say Yes to the Dress.? The pair share one child via adoption.

Rumors that the marriage was on the rocks began swirling in Broadway circles when Foster was starring in ?The Music Man? with Jackman. Multiple sources have told Page Six that Foster, 49, and Jackman, 56, have fallen in love.

?They are 100 percent together and are in love and want to spend the rest of their lives together,? a source previously told Page Six.

Several sources recently told us that the pair are going strong, but have been keeping the relationship a secret and staying out of the public eye.

?They are still together,? says a source. ?They go out of their way to hide it, but it?s common knowledge.?

Jackman filed for divorce from Deborra-Lee Furness, to whom he had been married for 27 years, in September 2023. They share two children.

Furness and Jackman released a joint statement saying, ?We have been blessed to share almost three decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage. Our journey now is shifting, and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.?

In December 2023, In Touch first reported that Jackman was ?romancing? Foster.

[From Page Six]

My gut says that there was totally something to these ?romancing? rumors. I wonder how long until we get official confirmation. I don?t know a lot about family law in New York, but according to the NY Courts website, to file for an uncontested divorce, your marriage has to be over for at least six months, and all of the disagreements about assets, custody, support, separation of property, etc. are agreed upon ahead of time. We don?t know a lot about either couples? relationship, but it feels like all parties involved are trying to keep things from getting messy. It sounds like Sutton and Ted privately worked through all of the details before she filed. For their daughter?s sake, I hope they did.

Prince Harry?s paperback edition of Spare came out this week. I haven?t been to a bookstore recently, but I absolutely believe that many bookstores will probably display the paperback edition prominently towards the front of the store. That?s mostly because the hardback was such a huge success, but Spare is still incredibly relevant today, 21 months after it was first published. The British media especially has not stopped whining about Spare in all of this time, and they keep trying to force this narrative that Harry ?regrets? writing the book because he destroyed his relationships with his father and brother. The same father and brother who treated him like sh-t for years before he even published the book.

It?s also funny that Harry hasn?t given his critics anything new to whine about. He didn?t add any new chapters to Spare, nor did he edit out anything from the hardback edition. GB News hilariously tried to retread old news by suggesting that Harry ?snubbed? King Charles and Prince William anew because he didn?t add their names to his dedication. Spare?s dedication still reads, ?For Meg and Archie and Lili?and of course, my mother.? They?re so desperate to turn this paperback into a scandal, they?re positioning Spare against Mike Tindall?s new dumb book:

Mike Tindall is set to go head to head with Prince Harry tomorrow, with the former rugby player?s new book to be released on the same day as the Duke of Sussex?s paperback version of Spare hits shelves. Mike, who resides in Gloucestershire, is set to release ?The Good, The Bad & The Rugby ? Unleashed? on Thursday.

The book ? which he co-authored with Alex Payne and James Haskell ? will give an insight into ?the highs and lows their podcast, friendship and rugby.? Mike ? who is married to the Duke of Sussex?s cousin, Zara Tindall ? revealed in the book he was teased by James, who once referenced Prince Andrew?s ?car-crash? Newsnight interview.

However, Harry is also putting out his paperback version of Spare on Thursday. The hardback version was originally released in the UK on January 10, 2023. The royal wrote that the book was ?for Meg and Archie and Lili? And of course, my mother?. The Duke threw around many accusations about the Royal Family in Spare, along with alleging that he had a physical fight with his brother and heir to the throne, Prince William. He claimed in the book that the Prince of Wales grabbed him by the collar and threw him to the floor, while shattering a dog bowl with his back. William then allegedly declared: ?I didn?t attack you, Harold.?

Harry also called his mother-in-law, Queen Camilla, ?dangerous? and a ?villain? in his memoir and alleged she had ?sacrificed him? to improve her reputation.

In Mike?s new book, he described joining the Royal Family in 2011 after marrying Zara and is thought to have made a dig at Meghan Markle. He said: ?Believe it or not, marrying into the Royal Family was pretty easy for me. They were always nice to me, and I was always nice to them. Simple really.?

[From The Daily Mail]

I covered Mike Tindall?s interview with the Telegraph last week ? he sounded like a meathead who couldn?t wrap his head around why Meghan was treated much differently than a white rugby douche who married an untitled royal-adjacent. Anyway, it?s really been a publishing blitz over there in recent months. Tom Parker Bowles, James Middleton and now Mike Tindall, all with books out around the same time as the Spare paperback release. Not to defend them, but I doubt James, Tom and Peter really planned it out, to have their books out at the same time. Has anyone heard anything about book sales numbers? I figured that if James or Tom?s book sold well or made it onto whatever piddling British bestseller list, the Mail would have a blaring headline about it. But it?s been really quiet, right? Almost like no one really gave a sh-t. I imagine it will be the same with Tindall?s book.

The outrage machine has been working overtime on Australian Senator Lidia Thorpe all week, ever since her ballsy protest of King Charles in Australian Parliament. I feel like history will be very kind to Senator Thorpe, but in the short-term, she?s being targeted heavily by Australian and British media. She?s getting the ?Full Meghan Markle? treatment. As I?ve mentioned previously, this is not Senator Thorpe?s first rodeo with the international media. In 2022, her swearing-in as a senator became headline news. Australian senators have to swear an oath of office and swear an allegiance to the British crown. Senator Thorpe tried unsuccessfully to modify the oath, only for the other senators tell her that she *had* to do it the real way. Now that oath is being thrown back in her face, as in ?if you don?t support the crown, why did you take the oath of office, HYPOCRISY MUCH?? To which Senator Thorpe had a hilarious comeback:

Independent senator Lidia Thorpe has offered an extraordinary defence of whether she breached her parliamentary oath, claiming she pledged allegiance to Queen Elizabeth II?s ?hairs? rather than her ?heirs? when she was sworn into parliament.

The revelation comes after Senator Thorpe interrupted a royal reception in Parliament House on Monday, shouting ?you are not our king? and ?this is not your land? to King Charles III.

On Wednesday, the Indigenous senator was asked by the ABC?s Afternoon Briefing if she had renounced her sworn parliamentary affirmation to bear true allegiance to the monarch in her heckling of the king.

?I swore allegiance to the queen?s hairs,? she replied. ?If you listen close enough, it wasn?t her ?heirs?, it was her ?hairs? that I was giving my allegiance to, and now that, y?know, they are no longer here, I don?t know where that stands. I?m not giving up my job, I?m not resigning.?

Senator Thorpe was sworn in as a Greens senator for Victoria in 2022, during which she described the queen as a ?coloniser? before being told to recite the oath as printed on the card.

A re-examination of the swearing-in appears to show that Senator Thorpe did pronounce ?heirs? as ?hairs?, though it is recorded as ?heirs? in the Hansard.

[From ABC Australia]

In case you want to watch Senator Thorpe?s 2022 oath, I?m including the video below. She absolutely said ?hairs? not ?heirs.? The Australian accent is a crazy thing! Also: if they try to come for Senator Thorpe?s job ? her elected position! ? because she spoke truth to a tired old British king, then that will be an even bigger story, right?

It?s been interesting to watch the British media try to selectively piggyback on Tina Brown?s interview on The Ankler this week. Tina Brown talked a lot of sh-t about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, but she also said some unflattering things about Prince William. Guess which part of Brown?s interview is being glommed onto by the British media? You guessed it. Brown spoke in unspecific terms about how Meghan ?is a perfectionist about getting it all wrong. Her issue is that she doesn?t listen. She has all these people, asks them their opinion, and then doesn?t follow it. She does what she wants to do. And all of her ideas are total crap, unfortunately.? Brown also revived the sexist/racist trope about Meghan ordering Harry around and Harry being ?in thrall? of Meghan. As you can imagine, the old white royalist men are delighted that they get to talk about how Tina Brown is right about everything (in regard to Meghan alone).

A British royal expert has said he agrees with Tina Brown?s comments made earlier this month that Meghan Markle has the ?worst? judgement. Ex-Vanity Fair editor Brown, who famously once described Megxit as a ?disaster? and accused the couple of being ?addicted to drama,? alleged that Meghan has the ?worst? judgement while appearing on The Ankler podcast with the media brand?s CEO Janice Min.

Richard Fitzwilliams ? a royal expert and commentator ? told MailOnline he agrees with Brown?s judgement on the Duchess of Sussex. He said: ?Tina Brown is highly respected journalist and royal biographer. I have consulted her brilliant study of Diana several times in the last week. She has highlighted Meghan?s terrible judgement on the prestigious Ankler podcast. Brown is right that Harry is led by Meghan. She is also correct in saying that the split when they left was ?a disaster all round?.?

?With the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) about to begin in Samoa, we would do well to remember how Queen Elizabeth made Harry President and Meghan Vice-President of the Queen?s Commonwealth Trust. They deserted these patronages and in their documentary Harry and Meghan for Netflix, had talking heads rubbishing the institution which was a form of betrayal, something that Harry, however frustrated he was with royal life, would never have done on his own.?

Fitzwilliams said Brown?s point that ?all of her ideas are total crap? brought to mind a reference by Meghan in The Cut Magazine that people celebrated in the streets of South Africa when she married Prince Harry in 2018. He said: ?Meghan quoted an individual who was never identified. He was supposed, at the 2019 premiere of The Lion King, to have told her that there was rejoicing in the streets in South Africa when they married which was similar to that when Nelson Mandela was released from prison. With an ego like that, it is clear that Brown?s comment that Meghan ?has the worst judgement of anyone in the entire world? is all too true.?

Fitzwilliams adds: ?Brown sees Meghan?s judgement as dreadful and the facts bear this out. The couple?s Charitable Foundation Archewell has made little impact, they lost their contract with Spotify and have actually done little [to] save their kiss and tell documentary, for Netflix who may not renew their contract next year. Also when she signed with the William Morris Agency in April last year, what did it lead to??

Fitzwilliams concurred: ?Brown is correct in saying that the split when they left was ?a disaster all round?. As she has noted, the parting was a ?disaster? as they obviously represented the contemporary face of the royal family and she notes that he can be a great success as a prince as it?s all he understands. Now he?s in exile. Their tours are ?faux-royal?.?

[From The Daily Mail]

The main thrust, for me, of Tina Brown?s interview was that she?s beyond furious that Prince Harry refuses to divorce his wife and come crawling back to the UK so he can ?do his duty? as a prince? and then Harry would outshine his brother, much to William?s chagrin. Like, they?re saying that explicitly: Harry needs to come back so he can do William?s work and steal William?s thunder, which will make William incandescent with rage. Tina Brown and Dick Fitzwilliams blame Meghan for the fact that Harry wants no part of the royal trainwreck, rather than give a 40-year-old prince any agency. Also: Harry and Meghan didn?t ?desert? their patronages ? they were more than willing to retain all of their patronages and continue to do that work. QEII and her courtiers were hellbent on punishing the Sussexes, so the palace removed H&M from the Queen?s Commonwealth Trust and everything else.

In recent days, there have been some very loud murmurs of an ?October Surprise? involving Donald Trump. MAGA World has been jittery and they?re already trying to say that whatever comes out, it?s not real, it?s some kind of deepfake, and people are out to get their demented Nazi north star. Journalist Mark Halperin spoke out on Tuesday that he?s been pitching a story for more than a week, a story which would conceivably end Trump?s campaign. Then last night, Keith Edwards tweeted: ?I have been told that Trump groped a minor at one of his donor dinners ? and that there?s video.? As of this moment, no one has confirmed any of that and no video has been released. I think that?s the story (maybe?) which has MAGA World so jittery. Either that or they were just trying to change the story from all of those first-hand accounts of how often Donald Trump talks about how he loves Adolf Hitler.

Meanwhile, I have no idea if this story blindsided MAGA World, but they?re already doing some nasty work around it. Last night, the Guardian published an account of Stacey Williams, who claims she was sexually assaulted by Donald Trump after being introduced to Trump by Jeffrey Epstein.

A former model who says she met Donald Trump through the late sexual abuser Jeffrey Epstein has accused the former president of groping and sexually touching her in an incident in Trump Tower in 1993, in what she believed was a ?twisted game? between the two men.

Stacey Williams, who worked as a professional model in the 1990s, said she first met Trump in 1992 at a Christmas party after being introduced to him by Epstein, who she believed was a good friend of the then New York real estate developer. Williams said Epstein was interested in her and the two casually dated for a period of a few months.

?It became very clear then that he and Donald were really, really good friends and spent a lot of time together,? Williams said.

The alleged groping occurred some months later, in the late winter or early spring of 1993, when Epstein suggested during a walk they were on that he and Williams stop by to visit Trump at Trump Tower. Epstein was later convicted on sex offenses and killed himself in prison in 2019.

Moments after they arrived, she alleges, Trump greeted Williams, pulled her toward him and started groping her. She said he put his hands ?all over my breasts? as well as her waist and her buttocks. She said she froze because she was ?deeply confused? about what was happening. At the same time, she said she believed she saw the two men smiling at each other.

?Williams, who is 56 and a native of Pennsylvania, has shared parts of her allegation on social media posts in the past, but revealed details about the alleged encounter on a call on Monday organized by a group called Survivors for Kamala, which supports Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris. The Zoom call featured actor Ashley Judd and law professor and academic Anita Hill, among others. Survivors for Kamala also took out an ad in the New York Times this week, signed by 200 survivors of sexual and gender violence, which was meant to serve as a reminder that Trump has been found liable for sexual abuse in a court.

[From The Guardian]

I believe Stacey Williams, just as I believe all of the women who have come out to tell their horrific stories about Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. Trump is an adjudicated rapist, and, just a reminder, Trump must pay E. Jean Carroll $88.3 million for raping her and defaming her. We still don?t know the extent of Trump and Epstein?s relationship, we still don?t know whether Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell had Trump?s permission to hunt for victims at Mar-a-Lago, we still don?t know how many victims Epstein supplied to men like Donald Trump. MAGA World is already making fun of those victims too ? the MAGAts and the Russian bots got ?#KamalaGropedMe? trending overnight.

In 2023, Justin Bieber sold his music catalog to a company called Hipgnosis Songs Capital for $200 million. Hipgnosis is one of those companies that basically buys song catalogs in order to earn royalties when a song appears in a movie or TV show, commercial, or is streamed online. Justin made a ton of money with the sale and now has an estimated net worth of $300. Unfortunately, Justin?s fortune may have been mismanaged by his former business managers. Page Six via TMZ is reporting that Justin has been angry for ?several years? because he feels his ex-managers have lost him a lot of money. He?s even considering suing them over it.

Justin Bieber is reportedly considering taking legal action against his former business managers for mismanaging his money.

The ?Peaches? singer has been livid for several years because he believes he has lost a lot of dough due to decisions made by his managers, sources told TMZ Wednesday. Though it is unclear exactly how much money Bieber, 30, believes has been squandered, the insiders told the outlet that he has been discussing the possibility of suing those responsible.

However, the pop star?s current team is reportedly divided about a potential lawsuit.

Those who are against legal action claim Bieber was spending irresponsibly for some time and caused his own issues, according to TMZ. The ?Never Say Never? crooner, who has an estimated net worth of $300 million, made the bulk of his fortune in January 2023 when he sold his music catalog for $200 million to Hipgnosis Songs Capital.

The deal included shares of Bieber?s publishing and recorded-music catalog, interest in his publishing copyrights, master recordings and neighboring rights for his entire back catalog. Hipgnosis buys song catalogs from artists and earns revenue when their music is streamed online or used in movies or advertising.

Bieber rose to fame when he was 13 years old following the success of his 2010 song ?Baby.? Before selling his music rights, the ?Sorry? singer, who recently welcomed son Jack with wife Hailey Bieber, was reportedly worth $100 million. Justin parted ways with his business manager Lou Taylor earlier this year and replaced her with Edward White, who also works with Johnny Depp. TMZ did not name the managers in question in its report.

[From Page Six]

This sounds messy, and it?s no wonder that his team is split on what to do. I wonder if he?ll hire a financial investigator to sort it all out for him. Someone who can figure out what Bieber spent vs. any lost money at the hands of his former managers. If his money was mismanaged, then I feel badly for the Biebs. It must suck to feel and be constantly be taken advantage of, no matter how much fame or money you have. Justin is not without his problems, but he does seem to have had the quintessential child-star journey, which is sad. Hopefully, they?ll be able to get to the bottom of this and he can get some better people around him moving forward.
