Scooter Braun did some amazing things managing Justin Bieber, and now he wants to try it again. Scooter has agreed to manage up and coming pop star Cody Simpson.

Cody, Scooter and Matt Graham (Scooter’s friend and partner) are taking on Cody as a client. Matt confirmed this through Twitter.

The question remains whether Justin might be getting a little jealous?

Madonna is heading back to the studio to work on a new album, reports Canoe Jam.

Madonna’s manager confirmed the news, writing on twitter: ”Madonna goes into the recording studio next month to begin work on (her) new album… She has a good idea which producers she will be working with… There is nothing to report in regards to (a) tour. You guys know how this works… first comes the album and next comes the (tour).”

This news comes just months after she claimed to be quitting her music career because she doesn’t have the “time or energy” to sing. So much for that.

The iconic singer has been putting her filmmaking career first lately, where she has been filming a new movie called ‘W.E.’

It’s amazing that, after all these years, she’s still making music and reinventing herself once again. Her music is fun and definitely a guilty pleasure, so dare I say I’m excited?

Jennifer Lopez’s Lawyers Demand Return Of Sex Tape

A ‘sex’ tape of Jennifer Lopez and ex-husband Ojani Noa has been stolen, and Lopez’s lawyers are demanding the return of it, reports CTV.

Lopez is claiming that Ojani’s manager, Ed Meyer, has taken it without her permission. Her lawyer, Cris Armenta, sent a letter to him demanding he appear in court Wednesday to return the footage.

“Claudia Vazquez will bring an ex parte application for relief, or whatever is proper, against you for removing home video data drive from Claudia Vazquez’s home,” the letter reads.

“You were on notice of the order and using false pretences, you removed the drive from her house. You have been asked to return it by Claudia Vazquez, myself, and law enforcement authorities. Bring the drive with you to court. We intend to ask the Court to order you to hand the drive to Jennifer Lopez’s attorney’s immediately.”

Meyer has confirmed that he has the tape, and plans to take it to court. Lopez recently won an injunction against the sale of the video.

“I’ll be in court this morning with the data drive… I’m going to ask that a retired judge be appointed by the court to keep the videos instead of Jay Lavely, Jennifer’s attorney,” said Meyer.

Meyer claims there are “about 15-20 minutes of total nudity between all the different clips among the 27 hours of footage” between Noa and Lopez.

Yikes, for Lopez’s sake, I hope she gets it back and burries it far, far away. Why do celebrities insist on making these tapes? They always get out. Always.

Jamie Foxx Brawls At Usher Show

Jamie Foxx showed off his muscle Thursday night while attending a show in Hollywood where his buddy Usher was performing.

Rumor has it Foxx got into an altercation with his former manager, reports RadarOnline. A witness says “The fight spilled to the outside area and I don’t think Usher even noticed because the place was so packed with people. When they got outside security intervened and after some cops approached both men seemed to make-up with one another before they left.”

Hollywood Police say no charges have been filed. We wonder what the dispute was over. Perhaps the Manager made some comment to Foxx like, “You would still be on ‘In Living Color’ without me.” And that comment would be completely unfair. Even if the show wasn’t cancelled, Foxx would have been canned anyways because he really wasn’t that funny.

Will “The Hills” drama ever end? According to Usmagazine.com, Heidi Montag has fired her husband Spencer Pratt as her manager. She later hired her psychic Aiden Chase as her manager, and now he’s been shown the door also.

“A source tells Us that [Pratt] was ‘horrified’ when he showed up on set demanding a significant portion of herHills money,” Usmagazine.com reported. The article further explains that Chase had his eye on Audrina Patridge also. “He tried to move onto Audrina[Patridge], whom he not only offered his healing/spiritual services but also asked to be her manager.”

Only time will tell if Heidi hires Spencer back. We guess there was nothing in their marriage vows that they will always have a loyal manager/client relationship.

Perez Hilton at the 2009 MuchMusic Video Awards

After an alleged altercation involving celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, Will.I.Am and his manager, Hilton has released Twitter responses, written statements and a video regarding what happened. And according to a report from “Access Hollywood,” Hilton plans on suing those involved in the incident.

“All persons responsible for this cowardly act of physical violence will be sued and held legally responsible for their actions,” said Hilton’s attorney, Bryan J. Freedman, in a statement. “His First Amendment rights will not be infringed upon through fear, intimidation or violence.”

The blogger was said to suffer a cut below his eye during an altercation between him and Black Eyed Peas manager Liborio “Polo” Molina.

Hilton’s lawyer stated they “are conducting a legal investigation as to whether Will.I.Am encouraged and/or instructed Molina to engage in this physical assault.”

Toronto Police have charged the BEP manager with assault and the 36-year-old must return the city’s Old City Hall Courthouse on August 5 to answer to the charge.

Below is footage with Perez from Sunday night prior to the incident where he discusses the experience behind the scenes at the MuchMusic Video Awards and the way celebrities act around him.
