Justin Bieber and Zayn Malik to collaborate on album soon

Justin is said to be a huge fan of Zayn’s new song “Still Got Time.” And now the boys are mulling over a potential collaboration for Zayn’s upcoming album which would be out in August.

A source revealed: “Justin has been really complimentary of Zayn’s new music and there have been tentative discussions about them working on something together. Justin even retweeted a link to Zayn’s single on his Twitter which he doesn’t just do for anyone.” If this happens, we can’t deny that it would be a pretty epic pairing.

“Justin called me yesterday actually — he’s really cool,” Zayn said, all casual like it’s totally normal for the biggest bloke pop star in the world to call you. “I wouldn’t say I know him on a best friend level, but he’s got lots of advice.”

Sesame Street’s new muppet

It’s always been a place where everyone is welcome, and now Sesame Street has introduced a muppet who has autism.

Julia, with blazing red hair and bright green eyes and a toy rabbit, joins Big Bird, Elmo and Kermit the Frog on the hit kids telly show aired on HBO and PBS in the US.

The puppet displays typical traits associated with autism — including communication difficulties. For instance, in her debut episode Meet Julia, when Big Bird walks over wanting to be friends, she doesn’t speak to him, thinking he doesn’t like her. And when a siren goes off, Julia covers her ears and panics.

For more than a year, Julia has been in digital and printed storybooks, but bosses of the show want to beef up her role by including her in the main show.

With one in every 68 children across the pond diagnosed with autism, the show wants to help stop the stigma associated with the developmental disability.
