R. Kelly Defends Justin

R. Kelly has defended Justin Bieber's wild antics.

The "Bump 'N' Grind" star, who recently collaborated with the 19-year-old singer, thinks the "Boyfriend" hitmaker can handle the media scrutiny after his recent bad behavior.

"He's young with an old soul, so he can take it," he told E! News. "His struggle will determine his success. I ain't worried about him," he added.

Justin bragged about his recent wild party on Friday night, claiming it was like a scene from The Great Gatsby. Neighbors reportedly called the police three times due to the excessive noise.

R. Kelly Blames ‘The Notebook’ For His Divorce

R. Kelly believes that Ryan Gosling is responsible for the demise of his marriage to ex-wife Andrea.

The R&B singer says that he decided to divorce his former back up dancer wife after seeing The Notebook. Writing in his book Soulacoaster, he explained that his 12-year legal union could not compare to the love Ryan's character had with Rachel McAdams':

"As the film credits started to roll, I couldn't move. I burst into tears. People walking past me patted me on the back, trying to console me. The Notebook was beautiful, and I was crying because its hero and heroine had died together. But I was also crying because I remembered a Valentine's Day - when a helicopter dropped a rainfall of roses - that had come and gone ... My marriage had died. And there was nothing I could do to bring it back."

However R. Kelly's ex has stated that she doesn't believe the romantic motion picture truly caused their split. "[The movie] came out in 2004 and we saw it together. Our divorce wasn't finalized until 2009 so it's impossible that the movie could have been the reason for our relationship ending," she said. "We had been separated for 6 years at that point! The movie definitely did not end our relationship!"
