(Getty)Justin Bieber's Believe had, for months, the biggest first-week sales of any album in 2012 until it was eventually dethroned by Mumford & Sons' Babel. While the album was by no means perfect, it did demonstrate a progression for the Canadian pop phenom, who has been fighting tooth and nail for critical recognition for a few years now.
So it's understandable that Bieber's manager Scooter Braun is upset over the fact thatBelieve is starkly absent from the list of 2013 Grammy Nominees — especially considering that LMFAO got a nod (no offense, LMFAO). Carly Rae Jepsen of "Call Me Maybe" fame, another of Braun's clients, managed to snag two nominations, but was little consolation.
Late Wednesday night, Braun tweet-mused:

Basketball Wives‘ fifth season is already under way, and now Shaunie O’Neal and Evelyn Lozada have divulged a few more tidbits about what to expect this season on the show. Though no official casting has been confirmed, Shaunie mentioned that there will be a new face on the show, someone “that’s really good friends with Evelyn [Lozada] and myself.” She also explained the off-camera relationships she has with the rest of the cast, saying that aside from Evelyn, she only sees the other ladies during filming. “Evelyn and I keep in contact and we do stuff together throughout the year, but when it comes to everybody else, it’s kinda like we just get together when it’s time to do a show,” she says.
And Evelyn also confirmed that despite the controversial drama of last season, she just hopes for a more calm situation for season five. “We never go into a season saying, ‘Hey, well this is what we’re going to do. I know it’s been—especially last season was a little crazy, but we kinda just go with the flow. We’re hoping it’s smooth rolling next season,” she explains. Time will tell, they’ve only shot the show for a few days, and we’re excited to see how this season plays out.

Doesn't specify which line, but the iMac is a pretty good guess
FORTUNE -- Tim Cook drops a bombshell in his interview with Brian Williams scheduled to air Thursday evening: Apple (AAPL) next year will begin manufacturing one of its existing Mac lines exclusively in the U.S.
The news came in a NBC releaseposted early Thursday morning. "We've been working for years on doing more and more in the United States," Cook tells Williams in a Rock Center broadcast scheduled for 10 p.m. Eastern. The NBC video.
Apple shipped the vast majority of its manufacturing to China shortly after Cook joined Apple from Compaq. He didn't specify which line of Macs would be made in the U.S., but reports last weekthat some of the new 21-inch iMacs come with "Assembled in the USA" labels on them is strongly suggestive. (Note, however, that soldering in a few parts in an iMac is not the same as building an entirely new manufacturing plant.)

Twitter's mobile app now shows incorrect Instagram crops, thanks to back-end changes made by Instagram.
Previously, when Instagram users tweeted about their latest Instagram photos, the image would appear inline with the tweet. At the moment, those inline images are cropped and improperly formatted in mobile apps. Going forward, the images will cease to exist at all in any Twitter product, according to Instagram.

Gov. Dannel P. Malloy
Connecticut lawmakers have authorized legislation to allow the state to move forward with a contract that would allow private investors to make money, if Connecticut’s ex-offenders land a job.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said he’s comfortable with his policy and budget office negotiating what is being called “social impact bonds” or “pay-for-performance bonds.” The new investment tool which asks private investors to assume the risk of funding a program that reduces prison recidivism and gets more people back to work contributing to the tax rolls. If the program is successful the investors receive a return on their investment

George Vasilopoulos, one of several entrepreneurs at The Grove in New Haven
Entrepreneurs like being around other entrepreneurs. At least, that’s the idea behind the creation of four startup hubs that opened at the end of last month.
“We’ve learned that entrepreneurs want to be in places with the best networks – be they technical, financial or social – which enable them to explore and test great ideas and to find the partners, attract the investment, and connect with the customers they need to grow,” Catherine Smith, commissioner of the Department of Economic and Community Development, said in a press release last month

Patrick Ewing may not run the streets of Madison Square Garden anymore with the New York Knicks, but that is not going to stop him, or his investors at Ewing Athletics, from bringing back his shoe line. Considering how high a profile the Knicks have right now, the timing couldn’t be better. You can expect to see first product later summer/winter. We will keep you posted!
