Wants, but these days he answers to his almost 2yearold son eric, who demands a lot of his fathers time. But simon loves every minute of it. And now as eric gets older simon has discovered that the apple of his eye hasnt fallen far from his tree. I saw your son earlier. The guy is a phenomenal swimmer. Hes like a fish. He is the best swimmer ive ever seen in my life. Hes like a fish. They let him go, and what is it, 2 . 21 months. What other ways is he overachieving . Hes talking a lot. I didnt realize, actually, because ive never had a son before, but actually they start turning into you. Which is a bit scary. In what ways is he he just never stops talking. Who would have thought when we met simon cowell 13 years ago that the toughest judge on American Idol would turn into a gushing daddy . Hes got his own opinions. When he wants something, hes quite demanding. He walks into my bedroom every day and says guk, which means jungle book. Im like eric, ive watched it 5,000 times with you. And then he says ananna whic means frozen. And i say i i cant watch that again. Guk then. Opinionated, decisive, hmm. Cant imagine where little eric might get that from. How has he changed you . Are you a softer guy . Ive always liked kids to be honest with you. And ive been good with kids when they can talk. I actually said in an interview recently when he was about 6 months old i was thinking why runt talking, why arent you talking now . He obviously couldnt understand a word i was saying. And then one day it all changes. You realized you can do this. Absolutely. Simon says learning to be a dad was easier than he expected. You know, you kind of let your instincts kick, in i guess. And obviously youre very protective right from the beginning. And then like said theyve become a bit like you and hes funny. I wish he could just come to work with me. He will. Hes the heir to the dynasty, is he not . I definitely want him to do what im doing, yeah. And it would be fun teaching him that. And he loves music. Ill show you Justin Bieber enjoying the beauty of iceland in his new music video ill show you the new single off his new album purpose. But now in more of billys exclusive interview justin opens up about his first real love, selena gomez. Lets talk about some of the songs here. Sorry. To say sorry im missing more than just your body songs about your love life. Seems a lot of songs about love and significant others. How much of this is inspired by selena . A lot of, it dude. A lot of it. How many songs . Like three. So now everyones going to be listening, is this one about selena . Is this one about selena . She was your first real love. First real love, yeah. You talked about living together. Moved in with her at a young age. It was tough, man. How hard was it to get over that . It was really tough. I dont know if im still over it yet. I think that im definitely like in another place, and i think weve definitely went our separate ways, and i love her and i want it to be awesome. But theres things that remind me of her and yeah. That was my first real love. You think maybe you met her too early . Yeah, i wrote a song, actually, didnt make the album, but it was called if i would have met you in five years. And shes like, how true is that. How many people go through life and end up meeting someone and it feels so right but its just the wrong time. So many people can relate to that. How much of you hopes she doesnt find anybody serious . You know, it always sucks when you see someone you love with someone else. But i just want her to be happy honestly. I just want her to be happy. Do you still talk . Ever pick up the phone and just say hey, what are you doing, and chat for a few minutes or yeah. Shes someone i love dearly, dude, and im never going to stop loving her. Im never going to stop checking in on her. I dont think relationships, if you end a relationship you should end that. Unless it was super toxic and you guys were hurting each other physically or mentally. But we always respected each other and we still respect each other. Why did you break up . It sounds like its a good connection. Yeah. I think were young and theres things that we did and things that we said to each other that were just kind of like we broke some barriers. Things you just dont say to someone you love or do to someone you love. Out of immaturity or immaturity and out of selfishness and out of just being human, dude. Thats it. Justins upcoming album purpose reflects how hard two worked to rekindle the love. As for whats next for them, justins uncertain. It doesnt seem to rule out reconciliation. I dont know what happens whats going to happen in the future. I think weve both got to do some soul searching ourselves and figure out ourselves before we can try to figure out each we can try to figure out each other. Thank you so much. Did you say honey . Hey, try some . Mmm that is tasty. Is it real . Of course. Are you . Nope animated you know im always looking for real honey for honey nut cheerios well youve come to the right place. Great, mind if i have another taste . Not at all mmm youre all right bud . Never better i dont know if he likes that. Yeah part of the complete breakfast and then it just got to the point i was looking in the mirror, i was so unhappy, felt so lonely, so alone, i was like i cant trust anybody. So i started just acting out. Selfdestructing a little bit . Yeah. Just feeling like i was invincible. Which explains why justin ran into trouble. But shortly after his august 2014 brush with the law in which he was charged with dangerous driving and assault justin began to turn his life around. Now, last thanksgiving he took his first major step to reconnect with his faith and his purpose in life. So its no coincidence that his new album is titled purpose. And now justin takes billy to that pivotal turning point in his life. Something clicked. I dont know. One morning something clicked, and im like yo, this is not me. Theres something i have to do to like so i reached out to some people i really know care about me, and they brought me in and i stayed with their family for a couple months. And literally just did regular stuff, hung out with their family, ate dinner with them. Justin sought refuge with his friend and spiritual adviser carl lentz, who is the pastor of the Hill Song Church in new york. Justin has always been open about his christian faith. And he says this time out from his life helped bring a sense of humbleness back. He put his arms around you. What did he tell you . Put his arms around me. And the way he lives his life is really what he talks about. Hes not like hey, do this and do this. Like when i go to his home i feel really loved. Its not your last screwup, whatever it was. Youre 21 years old. Im going to keep messing up. So whats the outlook you forgive yourself and yeah. But you have to give it all youve got. If youre not giving it all youve got youre just cheating yourself. If youre giving it all youve got and you mess up thats life, dude. Things are going to happen. Going forward, its a renewed perspective year, its a renewed perspective on people, on life, on judgment, on being secure in yourself. Justins passion extends beyond the music. One thing many people dont know about him. Justin has granted more wishes through the Makeawish Foundation than any other musician. You get yourself invested in a lot of childrens lives. A girl avalona ralph, you spent time with her in 2012. She was battling terrible brain cancer. So many kids you touch and if they lose this battle how hard is it to separate . Its really hard. That was one of the hardest things i think i ever went throughs when avalona passed away. And we spent so much time together laughing and just yeah, dude, it was hard. But you know you were able to make a difference in their life and make them smile. So im happy to know shes in an awesome place right now. So much of it is low pro that you do it. Yeah. Some things eventually become public. People find out. But how important is it to you does that balance the fame . Does that make sense of the life . It makes everything worth it in the end. Like being able to just sit down with those kids and just see them smile and really make that difference in their life is like theres nothing like it. You walk away feeling so good about yourself, too. So its a winwin. Very nice to see that side of justin. All right. He has also been amping up his style as well. Case in point, this allred look at the mtv Europe Music Awards in october. And joining me now to talk about the rest of the best rock and roll fashion of the year is our style producer anthony ramos. Liz, how are you . Okay. Were going to talk about all the best and wildest moments from the pop stars, the rock stars, everyone we love. Lets start with taylor swift at the grammys. This was one of her best looks of all time. Its by elie saab. I love this dress. She was dressed like a daydream. Get it . I get it. But look at the shades of color. And with this dress we officially said goodbye to the pep lum and welcome the skirt within a skirt or some call its mullet dress. I call it the mullet dress. But look at those legs. Those are the star of the show. And a pop of collar with the zenadi heels. This one really was for the taylor swift record book style file for sure. Really . Heres my thing. Ive never been a fan of a mullet and it doesnt start with dresses with me either. I love it. In august it was all about the mtv vmas and the host of the night was miley cyrus. She definitely brought her wild style sense to the show starting with the red carpet. All eyes were on miley. She really did everything on stage. But the red carpet, wow. I dont even know what to say about this. It was a custom ensemble by versace. Its definitely not a dress. Its a harness and kind of a chandelier. I was going to say this feels like something i should hang over my dining room table. A lot of skin but no wardrobe malfunction. So props there. I call this kind of sexy alien warrior. There was a picture of her on instagram that morning and she was naked of course and saying what aim going to wear . She found something but not very much. Very madonna. Yes. Meanwhile, Jennifer Lopez will be starting her vegas residency all i have on january 20th. Mark your calendars. Planet hollywood resort and casino. Me and anthony have booked our flight. And in may at the Billboard Music awards she was channeling her inner showgirl. You and i were both there for that and she hit the carpet and you and i were in total awe. Shes like vegas, i am here, i am a show girl. We know j. Lo loves a sheer beaded body gone dress. But this took it to the next level. In a really good way. Its by sharbell zoe. It was vegas. Its hot. Look at those abs. We know she works out. Extra long youve got to have a body to work this dress. Totally. No beer bellies. But the hair was perfect. And you know, absolute vegas showgirl. She just needs a fur boa or something. Something. She looks amazing. I cant wait for all her wardrobe changes. Miranda lambert is the reigning queen of country. For her first postsplit from Blake Shelton she went simple. All eyes were on miranda and blake too. But this she really has improved her style i think so much. Kind of toned down streamlining looks including this one which was by versace. Everyone wanted to call this a revenge dress. I just call it a really elegant dress. She looks amazing. Look at the body. And of course everyone was quick to point out the pink hair, a little reminiscent of gwen stefani. We dont know if thats on purpose i think its reminiscent of a 16yearold. Not a fan of the color hair. Thank you. Thank you. Now to more from billys interview with simon cowell. Simon helped create americas got talent and now he has signed on as a judge for the 11th season next summer. Simon has an eye for talent like no other and he loves it. In addition to his new gig on agt hes still on britains got talent and uk x factor. Why isnt two shows enough . Clearly simon cant stand being off u. S. Television. How much do you miss being on tv in america . I was lucky. I always had a great time, billy, to be honest with you. We had a lot of fun doing with it. Importantly, we found a lot of really good people along the way. Who would be the top three acts, all shows combined, all territories combined, that you have sort of helped send out into the world . Whats her name. The beautiful singer. What was her name . The lady boyle. Susan. I love susan. Susan i think has to be one of them. Because she was the most unlikely star. And i think that really kind of defined what the show was about. Susan boyle turned up for the voice, im not sure they would have embraced her in the same ways that we do. Kelly clarkson really played an Important Role as well. Because without Kelly Clarkson winning American Idol it wouldnt have been as big as it was. Having a great singer win year one we got really lucky that she decided to turn up on our show. And one direction, of course. And one direction, whos doing huge business now. Yeah. People were floored when zain left. Did you have wind of what was going on or did this blindside you as the mentor . I knew there was an issue, yeah. I knew he wasnt particularly happy. Does it matter . No. The truth is no. I was unhappy at the time because all of us were suddenly told hes leaving. I thought it was too soon. You know, i think he should have stuck it out. But he had his own reasons. Lets start right now the one d music video released on wednesday called perfect had many including us speculating its a response to taylor swifts style, rumored to be about dating harry styles. That song perfect is that about taylor swift . Come on, spill the beans. Between us adults. Im telling you, no one told me it was about taylor. I think people might infer it. But i was never told that, no. I dont know where this came from. Genuinely. I read about it the other day. And i thought nobody told me that. I dont think so. But before one direction and taylor swift Alanis Morissette wrote the ultimate angry breakup song that changed the course of music. So is alanis finally ready reveal who you oughta know is about . Find out next. Our relationship has shifted from, you know, mom telling him what to do and being able to control certain aspects to just being a voice. Justin biebers mother patti mallet in 2013 during her sons difficult days. Now, justin admits he drifted from mom during that period because he was ashamed. Hes back on track now, but theres still a bad boy exterior. With over 30 hours of artwork on his body including the title of his new album purpose. Now, justins tattoos each have their own story. And now justin shows billy one particular tat that keeps a watchful eye on him. Whats your favorite one . My favorite one out of all these, the detail in the eye. My moms eye right here. Thats your moms eye. Thats my moms eye. So she sees me. No, she doesnt. When do you not want her to see you . Man. Probably most of the time. What do you mean hey justins first single off purpose what do you mean was his first number one on billboards hot 100. Before he released that song he was featured on skrillex and dip lowes where are you now. The video has 260 million views on youtube. Where are you now that i need you where are you now that must have been a good feeling when, you know, where are you now went beautifully because you had a transformative year. I have, yeah. Its been a good year. So i would think people want to hear music from you and youre still in it. If im in such a positive space and ive learned so much to get me to this place, i want to share that. I dont want to share darkness. Theres too much darkness already in the music industry. I want to be someone who spreads light. Just like pop music even right now is a little bit dark. I think the stuff that theyre talking about is very materialistic, very like selfcentered. And making it not about me the cars and the yeah. The lifestyle. Yeah. Got lambo, my girl last night. How many times are you going to talk about that . People can only handle that so much. People are getting tired of it. I think. Im getting tired of it. As for his own style of music right now, its exactly where he wants it to be. In the past i had people say record this song, dont do this. And now like this is me. And i feel like im more passionate and people can tell the authenticity and it just feels right. Yeah its not fair to deny me alains mornis morissettes careerdefining 1999 album jagged little pill just celebrated its 25th anniversary. The lead single quickly became an anthem for female empowerment and like carly simons sure youre so vain 23 years earlier got us wondering who the song is about. Our series anatomy of a song tackles the mysteries with someone who ought to know, alanis herself. But first we start at the beginning. I didnt think millions of people around the planet would hear it. I thought maybe a handful of people would. You, you, you oughta now maybe it would turn them off, maybe it would turn them on. Who knows . But i knew it was an imperative for me to write it. Im here to remind you of the mess you left when you went away. Breakup pain that led to a breakout hit. 19 and angry at an exboyfriend who dumped her. Thats what inspired Canadian Music artist Alanis Morissette to write you oughta know which was produced and cowritten by glen ballard. It took them about 40 minutes to get it down on paper. Afterwards alanis had reservations. I remember saying, okay, now we just should go up and we should go back and clean everything up. And he said what do you mean . And i said well, there are some lyrics that are going to piss people off. He said do you mean these words . Can you stand by this . I said of course. He said lets not change a thing, then. And i love him for that. I want you to know that im happy for you the song starts from a civil player, but the tone dramatically changes. I know the version of me is she perverted like me would she [ bleep ] in a theater canadians are are polite by trade and yet as an artist theres this urge to speak what your unconscious is feeling. So the first few words are me writing about what you i know i should be saying. And at same time theres this whole undercurrent of devastation and rage. Every time you speak her name does she know you told me youd hold me until you die till you die but youre still alive once you oughta know became a hit a mystery was born. Who was alanis singing about and was had th her way to get even . If i had written it for the sake of revenge not only would i have told who the song was about i would have given an address and name and at this point twitter handle. But thats not why i wrote it. I wrote it because id been sublimating and squishing things down for so long i was losing every sense of empowerment, every agency i could call upon within myself. I did that so i could be a human being. Every time i scratch my nails down someone elses back i hope you feel it the man in question comes
