#JoJoSiwa made the big announcement over the weekend that she is a member of the LGBTQ+ community! JoJo had hinted towards it online with videos and photos before going on an Instagram live to explain that she doesn’t want to label herself just yet but is excited to share that she is part of the community.

After the live was over her family was subject to a 'swatting'. 

A swatting is a dangerous prank where someone calls in a false police report with the intention of getting a ton of police and swat teams to show up at your house. This has become something that people do to people who typically live stream video games and notable people online since the calls can be made anonymously. Seven police vehicles, a fire truck and many officers showed up to JoJo’s house where they then cleared up the confusion. 

#BTS is coming out with another version of their album BE on February 19th, this time an Essential Edition! The album will include all 8 songs but they said in a press statement that “several components” of the album will be different. It’s also going to include a 140 page photo book, postcards and a poster.  

JustinBieber reflected on a darker side of his past in a recent Instagram post. He shared a photo from the day 7 years ago when he was arrested in Florida where he was charged with driving under the influence, resisting arrest without violence, and driving with an expired license.

Justin is a very different man than he was at the time of his arrest and has been very open about how he has now devoted his life to Christianity and being a good husband to his wife Hailey. 

Miley Cyrus is going to be performing at the SuperBowl as part of the first ever TikTok Tailgate. 

The event is going to be specifically for 7500 vaccinated healthcare workers who were invited by the NFL to enjoy the game. Miley posted about it on her Instagram saying “I can’t wait to put on a show for the NFL’s honoured guests before the game… Health care workers from Tampa and around the country.” 

The Superbowl is coming up on February 7th with The Weeknd performing the half time, Eric Church and Jazmine Sullivan performing the US National Anthem and HER singing America The Beautiful.
