Blake Lively‘s been dumped, you guys. After they were seen yacht-hopping and jet-setting and canoodling all over Europe, Leonardo di Caprio has given Blake the heave-ho. Apparently Leo’s mom didn’t like Blake. When they met, Blake was nervous, so she talked a lot, and Leo’s German-born mother Irmelin did not like that one bit. She told Leo that the girl was full of herself and all she had to contribute to the discussion was stuff about Gossip Girl and being a Chanel model. So Leo bid Blake auf Wiedersehen and Blake is now “a total mess,” according to unnamed sources and a UK celeb rag we know nothing about. [Now]
Justin Bieber is taking a month off “to grow up.” It only takes 30 days! No, seriously though. He’s been working so hard. We know this because he says: “I’ve been working so hard, I’m taking a month off. It’s been great to just think and enjoy hanging out with my friends. I’m still growing up, and when you’re working every day, you don’t really get a chance to figure out who you are. So with the time off, I’m able to think, pray and just kind of grow up.” Uh-oh. Teen existential crisis! Someone send him a copy of Catcher In The Rye and a pack of herbal cigarettes. [Digital Spy]
