Scooter Braun reacts to Taylor Swift buying back her masters
Scooter Braun is 'happy' for Taylor Swift after she bought back the rights to her master recordings.
Taylor, 35, was furious in 2019 when music manager Scooter, 43, bought her former label, Big Machine Records, and her master recordings, which he then sold on to Shamrock Capital in 2020.
However, after Taylor revealed she had finally purchased back her music, Scooter shared his positive reaction.
He told Us Weekly: 'I am happy for her.'
In an emotional update on her website, Taylor revealed she had managed to acquire the rights to all of the songs from 'Taylor Swift', 'Fearless', 'Speak Now', 'Red', '1989' and 'Reputation'.
She wrote: 'I'm trying to gather my thoughts into something coherent, but right now my mind is just a slideshow. A flashback sequence of all the times I daydreamed about, wished for, and pined away for a chance to get to tell you this news. All the times I was thiiiiiiiiiiiiis close , reaching out for it, only for it to fall through. I almost stopped thinking it could ever happen, after 20 years of having the carrot dangled then yanked away. But that's all in the past now.
'I've been bursting into tears of joy at random intervals ever since I found out that this is really happening. I really get to say these words: All of the music I've ever made... now belongs... to me. And all my music videos. All the concert films. The album art and photography. The unreleased songs. The memories. The magic. The madness. Every single era. My entire life's work.
'To say this is my greatest dream come true is actually being pretty reserved about it. To my fans, you know how important this has been to me - so much so that I meticulously re-recorded and released 4 of my albums, calling them Taylor's Version. The passionate support you showed those albums and the success story you turned The Eras Tour into is why I was able to buy back my music. I can't thank you enough for helping to reunite me with this art that I have dedicated my life to, but have never owned until now.'

Tiffany Haddish opens up on 'mentally and spiritual' challenges of getting her makeup done
Tiffany Haddish needs to be in a "good space mentally and spiritually" before she can get her makeup done. The 45-year-old comedienne is no stranger to performing on stage and screen, but admitted that when it comes to the preparation of it all, she can only "handle" having assistants swarm around her to act as a glam squad if she has made peace with it all in her own head first. She told UsWeekly: "A lot of people will be pulling on you, and you need to be in a good space mentally and spiritually in order to handle that. 'Especially on those lady days! You really just want to fight people because you're dying. There's a funeral happening, and nobody knows but you!' The ' Girls Trip' star was then asked if she has any rituals before she goes on stage and explained that she uses "personal feel-good music" to get herself ready. She said: "It's my personal feel-good music. "Not even my team hears it. It's in my AirPods. It's basically Hz tones — 420, 480, 550." Meanwhile, Tiffany - who was married to William Stewart from 2008 until 2013 and dated rapper Common from 2020 until 2021 - is currently single but has strict financial criteria she wants from a new partner, including a good credit score, an Employer Identification Number (EIN) and their own staff within their company. She told 'Extra': 'There are people that want to be special in my life, but they don't meet the qualifications. 'The qualifications for someone to be that special guy is the credit score has to be over 675 because… I'm a firm believer that credit score shows a lot about a person, and if a bank wouldn't be willing to give you a loan for a home, why would I be willing to let you be in my body?' 'You got to have an EIN number, okay? And he has to have employees… If you don't know what an EIN number is, that just means you're an employee.'

And he's really at the forefront of that. "And plus, he's just a great guy. When you have a conversation with him, he's the most lovely, intelligent person to talk to and is just so easygoing, so much fun. And I love working with him. He's a really, really, really good guy.'

Paris Hilton's parents helped her remain 'grounded'
Paris Hilton has always been a "down-to-earth girl". The 44-year-old star has credited her parents for instilling a "strong work ethic" into her, and Paris believes she's been unaffected by her own fame and success. Paris - who starred on the reality series 'The Simple Life' between 2003 and 2007 - told HELLO! magazine: "I feel as though I've been the same my whole life. My parents instilled a strong work ethic in me from when I was very young and that has always kept me grounded. "I remember when the very first 'Simple Life' episode aired, my mom took me aside and told me that my life was about to change forever but that I should never stop being the same down-to-earth girl I am. I've never forgotten that." Paris has always been very ambitious, and she doesn't have any intention of slowing down. The reality TV star explained: "I love making entertainment. I love making products. I love being creative and making people happy. That is what I've tried to do my whole career. "I feel lucky that I've been able to do everything and be successful at it at the same time." Earlier this year, Paris hailed 'Stars Are Blind' as the "most iconic pop song ever made". The blonde beauty released the hit single back in 2006 and Paris still sings the song in the shower. She told Us Weekly: "I was actually just singing it in the shower this morning because it's the most iconic pop song ever made. My favourite song." Paris has enjoyed success in various fields, but she's "always" thinking of new ideas. Paris - who is married to entrepreneur Carter Reum - shared: "I have ADHD so my brain does not stop moving, and I'm always thinking of ideas. "I'm such a night owl even if I'm trying to go to bed. So it depends. If I have to wake up at like six in the morning for work the next day, I will force myself to go to sleep at 11 or 12. But some nights I just cannot sleep and I love watching TV [even though] my husband goes to bed early."
