Lady Gaga fans have managed to get her 2013 album, Artpop, back into the Top 3 on the US iTunes album chart, and their efforts have warmed the star’s heart. The Little Monsters have banned together to increase album sales in a bid to get the “Applause” singer to release the sequel. Gaga tweeted Tuesday (April 13th), “The petition to #buyARTPOPoniTunes for a volume II has inspired such a tremendous warmth in my heart.  Making this album was like heart surgery, I was desperate, in pain, and poured my heart into electronic music that slammed harder than any drug I could find.”She continued, “I fell apart after I released this album.  Thank you for celebrating something that once felt like destruction. We always believed it was ahead of its time. Years later turns out, sometimes, artists know. And so do little monsters. Paws up.”In addition to the iTunes campaign, more than 43,000 people have signed a change.org petition calling for “the infamous ACT II.”

Justin Bieber opened up to GQ about how challenging marriage can be – even going so far as to say he was walking “on eggshells” for the first year. He told the magazine, “The first year of marriage was really tough because there was a lot, going back to the trauma stuff. There was just lack of trust. There was all these things that you don’t want to admit to the person that you’re with, because it’s scary. You don’t want to scare them off by saying, ‘I’m scared.’”Now, the singer says that he and his wife, Hailey Baldwin, are busy creating moments together as a couple.Bieber added, “And it’s beautiful that we have that to look forward to. Before, I didn’t have that to look forward to in my life. My home life was unstable. Like, my home life was not existing. I didn’t have a significant other. I didn’t have someone to love. I didn’t have someone to pour into. But now I have that.”The 27-year-old “Sorry” singer wed the 24-year-old model back in 2018. The two do plan to have babies, just “Not this second, but we will eventually.”
