00:00Maluma faces backlash over resurfaced tweets, The Weeknd and Bella Hadid reunite, plus a short recap on the MTV VMAs.
00:13Hey guys, it's Ali for Hollywood Life with your pop star roundup, but before we begin, make sure you hit the sub, like, and bell button for all the latest on your favorite celebs.
00:21But okay, before we get into all the VMAs talk, let's discuss Justin Bieber because he and Hailey recently upgraded their living situation.
00:29TMZ reports the couple dropped $25.8 million on a massive home in the exclusive gated community of Beverly Park.
00:37The site says the 11,000-square-foot mansion sits on a 2.5-acre estate and comes with 7 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms.
00:44Jamie's new neighbors include Sofia Vergara, Sylvester Stallone, Eddie Murphy, Rod Stewart, and Denzel Washington.
00:51Moving on to the VMAs now because despite there being a pandemic, the show must go on, and it did.
00:56There was no live audience at this year's awards show, hosted by Kiki Palmer, but there was plenty of performers and big wins.
01:03After an emotional dedication to Chad with Bozeman, The Weeknd opened the show, performing his hit track, Blinding Lights.
01:09More importantly, when accepting his awards for R&B Video and the prestigious Video of the Year Award, Abel didn't miss words and made it clear that it was hard to celebrate and give a speech.
01:20Instead, he took his air time and asked for justice for Breonna Taylor and Jacob Blake.
01:24With some exceptions, many of the performances appeared to be pre-taped.
01:27Regardless, artists like BTS, CNCO, and the Black Eyed Peas and more did such a great job and showed a ton of energy.
01:34BTS even won some trophies for Best Choyography, Best Group, Best K-Pop, and Best Pop.
01:39Lady Gaga also had a huge night, taking home what was dubbed the Tricon Award, which I think means Triple Threat Icon.
01:46Gaga also won awards for Artist of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Collaboration, and Best Cinematography.
01:52But alright, back to The Weeknd, because last night he had a run-in with his ex, Bella Hadid.
01:57Daily Mail reports the two reunited the night before during rehearsals, and a source claims they seem to be on good terms.
02:04And now let's talk about Maluma. The singer scored his first Moon Man last night, winning Best Latin for Que Pena.
02:10Unfortunately for him, within minutes of winning, fans of another nominee dug up some of his old tweets that allegedly showed him using the N-word between the years 2011 and 2014.
02:22As of this recording, Maluma hasn't responded to any of the backlash.
02:26But alright guys, hit the sub, like, and bell button, follow me on social media at Ali Stagnita, and make sure you stick with us for all the latest.
