00:00Billie Eilish is ignoring DMs from your favorite artist, Ariana Grande is accused of shading

00:09Princess Nokia, plus Shawn Mendes gets emotional on stage.

00:13Hey guys, it's Devontae for Hollywood Life with your Popstar Roundup, starting with expensive

00:19Beanie Babies.

00:20TMZ reports Kylie Jenner dropped a cool $12,000 on a custom Beanie Baby bear.

00:25Kylie reportedly saw the super rare bear at Hailey and Justin Bieber's recent charity

00:31auction.

00:32The site says, LA-based artist Dan Life has already dropped the bear off to the Biebs,

00:36who will hand deliver it to Kylie.

00:38And before you judge her, just remember the money from this auction benefits LA families.

00:43It's not just some expensive toy for Stormi.

00:45But alright, enough Justin and Jenner, let's talk Gomez.

00:49Sel took to Instagram this week to wish her fans a Merry Christmas and to show off all

00:53her hard work, revealing she's signed 4,000 copies of her upcoming album Rare.

00:58And as if that wasn't impressive on its own, she also revealed she's got 6,000 more to sign.

01:05Her hand is gonna need a vacation by the time January 10th rolls around.

01:08And speaking of vacation, Shawn Mendes definitely needs one after wrapping up another successful

01:14tour.

01:15Shawn hit the road back in March and over 100 shows later, the pop star was overcome with

01:19emotion as he delivered a speech to his final crowd in Mexico.

01:25I get to come on stage every single night and perform in front of the most incredible

01:30people in the world.

01:33And speaking of wrapping up tours, Ariana Grande finished her Sweetener World Tour at the Forum

01:37in LA on December 22nd.

01:39The next day, she dropped her very first live album titled K by, for now, SWT Live.

01:45The 32-track album captures all of the tour's magic, including the guest appearances from

01:49Nicki Minaj, Big Sean, and Childish Gambino, as well as Ari speaking to her fans.

01:55And that in-between song banter, one of my favorite parts of concerts, seems to have

01:59sparked some rumors for Ari as fans think she shaded Princess Nokia.

02:04Earlier this year, Ari was hit with plagiarism claims from Soulja Boy and Princess over the

02:09song Seven Rings.

02:10Nokia even posted a clip noting the similarities between Seven Rings and her own song Mine.

02:16In the clip, Nokia says, does that sound familiar?

02:18Cause that sounds really familiar to me.

02:20On Ari's album, the pop singer starts off her performance of Seven Rings by saying the

02:24same thing to the crowd, and because of that, fans are convinced she's mocking Nokia.

02:29And when taken out of context, I can totally see why.

02:32But when you listen to everything that Ari's saying on stage, she's kind of referring to

02:35her costume change.

02:37Ari puts on a jacket, asks the crowd if it's cute, and then pretends to not know what's

02:40written on it.

02:41Ari goes, it says, want it, I got it.

02:44Huh?

02:45Sounds familiar, huh?

02:46Does that sound familiar?

02:47Do y'all know this song?

02:48Meanwhile, the instrumental is playing in the background.

02:50To me, Ari is simply playing around and teasing what's coming next in the show.

02:55But I have to admit, it is a little too much of a coincidence that she chose to do it right

02:59before Seven Rings.

03:01But okay to Billie Eilish now, because following her explosive 2019, everyone's curious how

03:07she's going to control the airwaves in 2020 and who she'll do it with.

03:11However, Billie is breaking some hearts and revealed to Spin she's not interested in

03:15doing any collaborations at the moment.

03:17Billie said, I don't like working with other people.

03:19I get really in my head and weird.

03:21I don't like mixing friendships with music for some reason.

03:24I don't even play songs for my friends until they're fully done.

03:27I don't like people watching me work and I'm doing pretty well on my own.

03:31So I'm okay.

03:32AKA everybody else.

03:34I went platinum with no features.

03:35These other artists on my jock looking for clout, but nah, get your mediocre hands away

03:40from my music.

03:41Billie also spoke to The Guardian about this and said, collaborating doesn't really interest

03:45me.

03:46It's a question I get all the time and I genuinely don't want to.

03:49It's not against anyone.

03:50I just don't feel the need.

03:52But alright guys, hit that sub, like, and bell button.

03:54Comment if you think Billie should change her collaboration rules and then stick with us

03:58for all the latest.
