Justin Bieber may be set for life with the whole pop-star gig, but everyone needs a backup plan! The 18-year-old has completed his high school education, but only at the request of his mom, of course. "I just finished high school," Bieber told The Telegraph. "I passed my test -- I'm free!" But he admits it wasn't easy -- being literate isn't very high on his priority list. "At school, usually you have to do a lot of writing and reading. I'm really not into that stuff." [The Telegraph]

After her high-energy breakup anthem "Part of Me," Katy Perry slows it down with her followup single, "Wide Awake."

Listen to Katy's latest here! [Perez Hilton]

Famed fashion photographer Terry Richardson has published the first official photos from Lady Gaga's Born This Way Ball tour!

"We're firm believers in the idea that if you're not talking about it, you're part of the problem," guitarist Jack Antonoff told The Washington Post. "We realize we have an audience, and it would be a real shame to waste it." [The Washington Post]
