After Sunday’s Billboard Music Awards mess, it seems as if The Biebs is attempting to show off the side of him we’re supposed to like.

I’m sure he’s done things like this before, but it’s just interesting how things get released just after some douchebaggery — but we’ll be nice here.

Justin re-visited the Whitney Elementary School on Friday while in town for the award show (which took place in Vegas). The singer initially visited in December, but this time around, he was there to provide help with food donations that rallied up to $150,000.

“My mom and I went to food banks, so being able to help now is amazing,” he shared via the Today Show this morning.

He also greeted the young children, some of who were in tears and left this with a piece of advice before making his exit.

“Listen to the principal and the teachers and always try your best,” he said.

Seems as if he’s really not feeling the public’s reception of him after being booed during the awards telecast: he posted on his Twitter that he was “gonna take some time” — although it’s unsure what he meant by that, one assumes that he’s going to exit the limelight for a bit.

I would hope he would take that “time” to not be involved with so many unsavory characters in his life, but a recent shot with singer Chris Brown proves that it may not be the case.

Let’s see where he goes from here.

You didn’t really we were going to get out of this week without any more complaints about the bump on his head that he caused, did you?

Well, if you did, you don’t know Kanye West very well — because during a “secret show” in New York City, the rapper performed a new song targeted toward the paparazzi that pretty much demands that they don’t treat him like an everyday celebrity.

Actually, that’s exactly pretty much what he says to the letter, but let’s back it up a bit.

The mini-concert actually was taking place for the upfronts for “Adult Swim” (a block of mature cartoons on the Cartoon Network) and Yeezy went through a bit of his past hits and a few new songs, including one that people are calling “Awesome”.

No, the song itself isn’t — they’re giving it an unofficial title of “Awesome”. Some of the lyrics:

“Stop everything you’re doing now/ Because Baby, you’re awesome / Don’t let nobody get you down / Because you’re awesome / You don’t need to listen to your manager … / You must be tired of running through my mind / Can I come inside? … I’m also awesome … / I’d rather do nothing with you, / than something with somebody new / Because Baby you’re awesome.”

Yeah, we know who that’s about — and we all wish we didn’t.

I suppose we’re not supposed to see this as anything more than a coincidence, but the drama between Chris Brown and Drake has now reached a level that is more degrading than ever before.

Last week, Chris shot a video for the upcoming track, “They Don’t Know”; the first single from his sixth studio album entitled X.

The song features some unused vocals from the late R&B singer, Aaliyah. He confirmed the news this morning while speaking on his BET Awards nominations at a press conference for the ceremony.

This of course comes a few months after the release of Chris’ rival appearing on a never-before heard of track by the singer called “Enough Said”.

Drake has spoken of his love of Aaliyah many times — some say to the point of obsession — and is said to be working on an album featuring more “new” songs from her to be released in the future.

Perhaps no conclusions should be drawn, but let’s be real — this is seriously revolting. Don’t bring the dead into your childish battles, guys.

Besides, her music was way better than anything either of you have ever released.

It has been way too long since we have had a proper Kanye West outburst but Friday, the world was finally able to drop the countdown clock back to zero.

The hip-hop star and his pregnant girlfriend, Kim Kardashian were exiting a parking garage to head into a nearby Beverly Hills restaurant. Of course, paps were following their every move and the “Heartless” star decided not to let them see his face and walked with his head down.

That would’ve worked fine — had it not been for a huge pole directly in Yeezy’s path.

You can figure out what happened next.

Yes, it’s just as hilarious as you think.

Taking a moment to regain his composure (the camera guys asked if he was OK), he took hold of Kim’s hand once more and entered the restaurant, only to exit it solo a few minutes later to begin hollering at the paps (which would be where the GIF from above comes from).

“I just got here”, another pap replies.

And yes, the entire thing is comedy gold. Watch where you’re walking next time.

Or not. It’s usually hilarious when people don’t.

Baby, baby, baby, no!

Admittedly, Justin Bieber has somewhat calmed his antics down over these last few days — well, there was that drug bust not so long ago, but it’s a near fight with a neighbor that may have him singing for his life in front of a judge, if LA prosecutors have their way.

Back in late March, the 19-year-old got into an altercation with a neighbor who claimed the singer and his pals were causing some loud mischief in their shared space. When confronted, Justin got in the guy’s face and spit on him, threatening to “f*cking kill” the dude.

The case was investigated by the LA County Sheriff’s Dept. and it was sent to the DA on Tuesday.

Sheriff’s investigators are urging prosecutors to charge the singer with battery.  We’re told cops don’t think Bieber should go to jail, but he needs serious counseling because of his repeated and escalating bad behavior.

Law enforcement sources tell us … Sheriff’s investigators are worried that Bieber is either going to “get his ass kicked” or “someone’s gonna get a $2 million payday” unless the singer changes his tune.

As for whether this will see a court room, it’s unsure. A decision has yet to be made, but will be soon.

The moral of the story: don’t be a douche.
