Justin hasn't done a talk show any promotion for years. He runs away from the spotlight and headlines unlike other girls. Yet even with his avoidance of the press and not even releasing a studio album in 3 years. He is still one of the most streamed and followed artist.

"Despite no lead release for the 2023 year, Justin Bieber is always around, he has a total of 5.89 billion streams. It’s the 3rd year in a row at 5 billion or more. His career total is now on 40.08 billion streams, making him the 7th top artist ever on Spotify. He was best ranked on annual rankings in 2016, when he was runner up to Drake. It’s worth noting that these numbers do not include features, where the Canadian singer excels at. He has over 12.4 billion featured streams in his career, a record among non-hip hop artists. With a catalog made of so many hits, he is poised to get viral tracks every year too. Both Ghost and Stay are steady inside the global top 200 chart. They get more than a million streams per day, just like Beauty and a Beat in recent weeks."

Music executive Scooter Braun still has A-list clients like Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande under his belt, despite reports ... but we're told he's got his hands full -- because he's stepping into a larger role. Sources familiar with what's happening behind the scenes tell TMZ ... all of Scooter's clients, including Justin and Ariana, are still under contract with his company, SB Projects. However, we're told contract negotiations have been going on for several months as he shifts into his bigger role as CEO of HYBE America -- his multi-billion-dollar South Korean entertainment company that manages the likes of BTS. Sources say folks spreading rumors about Bieber and Ariana are off ... Scooter's team at SB Projects is still handling both Justin and Ariana as they work through figuring out what the new structure will look like. For those unaware, reports have been flying recently about the 2 superstars leaving SB, but it's been a bit of a gray area until now. There was also word that Demi Lovato has stepped away from Scooter -- our sources confirm her departure, saying it was a mutual decision. As we reported, Scooter's HYBE America dropped around $300 million to purchase music label, Quality Control, earlier this year ... the ATL rap label that includes big names like Lil Baby and City Girls.

Something tells me Scooter is a thief. He is stealing his clients' money. If Mathew Knowles could steal from his daughter anything is possible. Elvis Presley's manager took 50 percent of Elvis’ earnings towards the end of his career... How things went down with Taylor tell me he is a thief.

I bet you he was stealing money from his artist. Just ask Mathew Knowles, the Colonel who stole from Elvis Presley, Pebbles who stole from TLC. They all jumped so quick! He either: A. Stole money from his artist (Which is very, very likely) B. He did something criminal (Sex scandal etc)

Personally I was more Angel than Spike.

This. They spoiled period. This happens a lot when kids have separated parents especially once they are teens. Kids always want to live with the parent that won’t say **** to them and lets them get away with murder. Honestly who wouldn’t. Kevin in my opinion is just wrong by making it public. It doesn’t make him the better parent cause the kids want to live with him. It just makes him the parent that the kids choose cause they don’t get disciplined nor have to take direction.

They spoiled little rich kids that has a dad that doesn’t work. Kevin may have influenced them but I have a feeling she disciplined them and Kevin didn’t. And they are rotten so they don’t want to see their mom. All those videos show is that Kevin encouraged them to not listen to their mother. And the boys are everything that most people feel about rich kids.

Right!! The Billion Dollar Princess is now the Billion Dollar Queen.

Something is wrong. Poor Wendy.

Whoever did casting for The WB just knew... Who was the hottest man to come out that network? My opinion: Tom Welling Chad Michael Murray Chance Crawford

Not to insult anyone that works on this site cause I'm sure they work hard but honestly why is the site so glitchy? I'm sure this has been talked about at nauseum, but half the reason I'm barely on here anymore is the crashing is just so frustrating. I'm sure people are working hard on it. But am I doing something wrong? Should I be using a specific browser? It seemed once they changed to the new site (which looks lovely BTW) these issues started. I love all the new features but I hate that the site doesn't seem to work. Again, I'm barely on here but wanted to see if others had a solution for this of some kind. Again, am I doing something wrong?

I'm weak. Not it getting kicked, then realizing it is a squirrel, then giving it a name.

And here people were trying to say Camille was a bad attorney when most legal experts stated how she did a flawless job. Lets be real, she won him that case. At the same time, poor Elaine...

Elaine was awful. Regardless I think her team will win this case. Every legal analysts that knows the law has stated that this is an uphill battle for team Johnny. Based on what needs to be met for defamation, it is hard to prove even if Amber lied that she acted with intentional malice and that his career suffered due to this intended malice. Again even if she lied all this is very difficult to prove. Like I said, Johnny wins either way because it was clear from the start he didn’t care about the defamation suit. He just wanted a televised case to change the public perception of him and tell his own version of the story. He even said it on the stand that the outcome didn’t even matter but he just wanted to tell his side. And from telling his events, his popularity has grown and he has gained lots of sympathy for dating “crazy Amber”. If he “loses”, he will still win because people will be outraged for him which garners him even more sympathy and popularity. Regardless his star power is high right now which will make Hollywood rehire him due to no backlash and high probability of big profits of his films due to sympathy. As for Amber her reputation is in shambles. She has a new major PR firm (though her last firm was also big) but the public perception against her is strong. And if she dates another rich man, that leads to even more suspicion that she is a gold digger. She is in a very bad spot but hey at least she won’t have to pay 50 million. As for Ambers attorneys, they have a big career ahead of them with the exception of Elaine. Poor girl should go into teaching after this case.

No reality is, it should be even. However this is a benefit to Amber. Women are known to be much more critical of other women then even men. I mean even when you look at the demographics outside and inside that courtroom it is women who hate Amber. Men are actually more likely to be more sympathetic.

Like I said, they will most likely wrap on Tuesday or Wednesday:

The belief is that there was domestic violence by the public/fans. Except he was the victim. This idea that men are just as much victims as women. And her case got hurt the moment those tapes came out with her stating that she hit him. Also her saying he beat her, but she bought him a knife as a gift. Personally I think they both were physical with each other. Their therapist even said it herself. That Amber used violence against Johnny to ensure he wouldn't leave to engage back in fights. But she also stated that he was physical with her but didn't elaborate.

It is not even the lie that he has to prove. That is only ONE part. He also has to prove she did it with "actual malice" (Which I don't think she did) in order to win this case. In addition, he has to prove that her statements even if she lied, had implications to his career. From the start, legal experts stated that the chances of him winning this case are slim. Public figures rarely if ever win these cases for these reason. It is hard to prove all THREE statements.

Exactly. If this case was truly about defamation, he would have came for the publication. It is 100% about clearing his name. And for that it is a win. He even said it on the stand!!!

Just telling the truth. It was clear from the start that Johnny didn't care that Amber "won" or he got the $50 million. He was just using this case to clear his name, restore his popularity, and tarnish hers. If this case was probably no camera, I bet you he wouldn't have gone through with it. His legal team won him this case because they really just reframed the narrative that he was the victim. So, Amber can celebrate her "win" but it is no real win. Outside of ATRL, Johnny Depp is beloved more than ever. Hollywood will hire him again cause the public doesn't believe the allegations against him and he still remains profitable.

The key word is "under the courts eyes." Public opinion and court rulings are two different things. Not just in this civil trial but look at criminal trials. Hollywood only cares what the public thinks and if they can make a return on investment based on his profitability. The public is siding heavily with Johnny. Not just on social media but Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was just in the Top 10 movies on Netflix. That film came out in 2005. They had a skit last weekend on SNL making fun of Amber and siding with Johnny. Comedians around the country are siding with Johnny and audiences are eating it up. As far as the public goes, that is all that matters. If you were watching the trial they talked about the importance of public opinion of scandals for Hollywood stars. The scandal itself is not important, but how the public reacts to that scandal. He is winning big with the public. Johnny has won his case regardless of the verdict.

I know people on here will celebrate once the verdict comes in for Amber, but the reality is that Johnny will have still won. I don't think it was even realistic from the start for him to win this defamation case. And I'm pretty sure him and his attorneys knew that. He already lost in the UK. This trial truthfully wasn't to settle a defamation lawsuit or $50 million, but instead to win in the court of public opinion for Johnny. He wanted to publicly clear his name and hurt hers in the process by airing this out. If you ask me, he has succeeded in improving his image and hurting hers. I can't imagine Amber ever being in a big blockbuster movie again. As for him, people seem to love him more than before and have sympathy all of this just because of this trial.

It could be today but very, very doubtful. If I had to guess either Tuesday or Wednesday. It really just depends on if the jurors are torn or not.

He is not winning this case. Cause I don't think you can for sure say Yes to all these statements. The statement was made or published by Ms. Heard? YES - She admitted this. The statement was about Mr. Depp? YES -She admitted this. The statement was false? Debatable - Will be interesting to see if the jurors think this is false. The statement has a defamatory implication about Mr. Depp? Debatable The statement implication was designed and intended by Ms. Heard? Debatable
