Fans might not know the whole story of why Justin Bieber decided to cancel the remainder of his Purpose World Tour this summer.
The 23-year-old singer's manager, Scooter Braun, appeared on Thursday's CBS This Morning and was adamant that Bieber has good reason for calling off his concerts.
"Look, I think he'll decide to tell people when he's ready of what exactly happened," Braun told co-anchor Gayle King. "But I think he was making a decision, like he said, to protect himself."

Braun further noted, "But he's 23 years old now, and if he makes a decision as a man, as long as he's willing to listen to opinions and hear people out -- if he has true conviction, I'm willing to have his back."

Wake up, Mr. West. It's your birthday!
On "No More Parties in L.A." off The Life of Pablo, Kanye West describes himself as "a 38-year-old 8-year-old," which is maybe a perfect summation of the qualities that have made the 40-year-old rapper such an enigma: a larger-than-life icon who has cultivated a persona that draws as much infamy as it does reverence, with a head-spinning number of acclaimed tracks to show for it.
Watch: Inside Kanye West's 40th Birthday in Bahamas With Kim Kardashian and Their Kids: 'No Work or Social Media'
Somehow, as Kanye has gotten older, his almost youthful sense for defiance and creativity have created work that has only gotten more experimental, more groundbreaking, and with each new album, inspired a new crop of artists of hip hop and of music in general.

I’m sure some of you will have found your way to this article by way a Google search for “Justin Bieber,” so I want to apologize upfront for inadvertently leading you to a story about Strawberry Shortcake’ Berry Bitty Adventures. But I implore you to stick around and see what I have to say. You might find you enjoy yourself or even feel inclined to watch a couple episodes of the Hub cartoon. And trust me when I say this won’t be devoid of Bieber-related content, it just won’t be about him directly. It’s more about how he continues to inspire people in ways you might not have expected. Which brings us to how Bieber has influenced Strawberry Shortcake’s only male lead.

Questions about Club Penguin’s impact on kids age 6 and up have haunted the online virtual world playground since it was launched in 2005, and bought by Disney in 2007. So it will be interesting to see how anti-consumerism activists respond to Disney’s most ambitious effort yet to use Club Penguin as a cross-promotion tool. The service will introduce tomorrow “Make Your Mark: Ultimate Jam,” an online music and dance party with tie-ins to other Disney-owned services. Disney Records will for the first time introduce a single and music video on Club Penguin — it’s for the song “The Party Starts Now,” which fans can buy in English, French, German, or Spanish at iTunes, Google Play, and Amazon. Disney Channel and Disney’s YouTube Channel will promote the video. Also, until the end of the month, Club Penguin will feature guest appearances from Rocky and CeCe, stars of the Disney Channel sitcom Shake It Up.

New York -- On the heels of the fastest-moving television upfront in recent memory, the bulk of the kids business has been locked in, with estimates putting total volume for this year's bazaar at $850 million-$865 million, a gain of 3%-5% from the 2009-10 haul.
Although bolstered by an improving economy and increased spending from primary endemics, the kids upfront was not nearly as robust as the general entertainment marketplace. All told, the major kid-centric networks saw Cpm rates increase by 6% compared with last year's pricing, with Nickelodeon/Nick at Nite enjoying the biggest gains (8%-9%).
Nickelodeon closed out its business as the rest of the MTV Networks were finishing their 2010-11 upfront deals.
