JUSTIN BIEBER:

Justin Bieber is a teenager that started singing when he was 10, and after 3 or 4 years he became a very famous singer, but we think that this boy isn't really a good singer and in our opinion he's just a mollycoddle. He has a lot of money and he's very young and in some magazines he says that he doesn't really know how to make his bed! Here you have some pictures of him and his house.






BRITNEY SPEARS:


Britney Spears is a very famous and rich singer, she's 31 years old

and she has a son. Her life hasn't been very easy and normal, she has always been a problematic and very rebel girl and she has been in jail more than once. About her music we can say that she has very good pop songs but her music videos are sometimes a little provocative because of the way she moves and the clothes she wears. She has millions of followers and they say she's ''The Queen of Pop'' but she isn't because Madonna is the one.




WILL SMITH:

Will Smith is a very famous actor and rap singer, he's from Pensilvania and he's 43 years old. His wife name is Jada Pinket Smith and they have two children called Jaden Christopher Syre and Willow Camille Reign but Will Smith before marrying with Jada had another son with Sheree Zampino called 'Trey'.
