Justin Bieber and his former manager Scooter Braun, with whom he parted ways in 2023, have reportedly settled the money dispute they were having. As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, sources familiar with the situation said that Bieber and Braun have come to an agreement over the money that the former owed the latter. Live Nation’s parent company, Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG), paid out a $40 million advance to the Canadian pop star for his 2022 tour in support of the most recent album, 2021’s Justice. But he decided to end the tour early, which meant that the company asked for him to pay $26 million of the advance back. Scooter Braun’s company, HYBE, agreed to pay the money owed, with Bieber to repay it back in installments. He reportedly only made one payment, but has since settled the debt.
Meanwhile, Justin Bieber is set to release his seventh studio album, presumably titled Swag, today. He also dropped the audio for a new song, Daisies. (complex.com)

Fresh from his retirement concert with Black Sabbath at the weekend, Ozzy Osbourne has announced a new project: a visual art collaboration with chimpanzees. Osbourne is a keen amateur painter, and for his latest works he painted multicolored base coats on to five canvases, with the chimpanzees then adding daubs of their own. The finished abstract expressionist works are being sold at auction to raise money for Save the Chimps, a sanctuary in Florida for chimpanzees who have been rescued from animal testing labs, poorly run zoos and wildlife traffickers. “I paint because it gives me peace of mind, but I don’t sell my paintings,” Osbourne said. “I’ve made an exception with these collaborations as it raises money for Save the Chimps.” His wife Sharon Osbourne added: “Chimps are our closest relatives in the animal kingdom, and I’m really proud of Ozzy for helping look after them.”
The auction for Osbourne’s collaborative chimpanzee paintings is open now, with bids for each artwork starting at £1,000 (around $1350 US). (The Guardian)
