Austin Mahone

As previously documented, a number of cats and dogs celebrated Thanksgiving this year by eating WAY too much.

By they weren't alone.

Who doesn't love a good selfie, right?

Granted, Katy Perry says selfies are a disease - but, really, selfies are a sign of modern times. Or of the end of times. One of the two.

Posing with Justin Bieber was only the beginning for Austin Mahone.

The 18-year old, who recorded some music with Bieber this week and posted a photo of the pair on Instagram, announced two pieces of exciting news this morning:

A couple years ago, we asked: is Austin Mahone the next Justin Bieber?

Most likely not, it appears, but that isn't stopping the young artist from teaming up with Justin Bieber. 

Sorry, Justin Bieber. You had your chance.

While that artist is galavanting around Panama with model Chantel Jeffries, sources tell Us Weekly that ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez is not sitting at home and lamenting her loss.

Austin Mahone is feeling especially hot at the moment.

But it's not due to the singer's handsome mug. It's a result of an illness he's come down with that has forced the artist to postpone at least one concert date.

Maybe next year, Austin Mahone.

The young artist, who many have compared to Justin Bieber, didn't get a chance to take the big stage last night at the MTV Video Music awards, performing instead on the network pre-show.

Rumors that a hot romance is brewing between Selena Gomez and Austin Mahone, though that may just be the celebrity gossip rumor mill working overtime.

The two were spotted spending some time with friends at Disneyland Wednesday, and have become "really good friends and have a lot of fun together."

Austin Mahone, 17, is an exuberant young pop singer who first became popular in 2011 due to viral videos online and is starting to make it to the mainstream.

Sound familiar?
