Even more exciting than Demi’s new gig? Her sophisticated new blonde highlights, which she unveiled at the Monday announcement.

Demi’s hair has never been this light before, and paired with her gorgeous blue and yellow dress, it’s definitely a winning summer look.

Justin Bieber and Usher both have new albums coming out soon, and so the mentor/mentee double teamed the new Billboard magazine cover. We’re glad to know that these two are still close after all the success that’s come Justin’s way. He’s managed to stay incredibly grounded despite his international celebrity status, thanks in large part to Usher’s guidance.

And now, as they say, the student has become the master. It’s incredibly likely that Bieber’s forthcoming “Boyfriend” album will outsell Usher’s latest by leaps and bounds, although they’re both guaranteed to be hits.
