Her social media follows have more celebrities than real-life friends, music runs through her veins and she’d much rather be glued to her TV screen, piled under an array of snacks than go out on a Friday night. Angela’s guilty pleasure is watching cheesy reality shows like Keeping Up with the Kardashians, but she’s also a sucker for all things Marvel and DC - two entirely different worlds, we know.

Adele has won numerous awards for her music including a whopping 15 Grammy Awards and an Oscar for her James Bond soundtrack, Skyfall. She is officially one of the world’s best-selling music artists.

Justin has had a wild career since he was discovered on YouTube at the age of 13 by Scooter Braun and Usher.

Despite selling more than 150 million records and being dubbed one of the world’s best-selling music artists, Justin was at one stage, named “the most hated person in the world”. His on-and-off-again relationship with Selena Gomez , erratic behavior, and use of drugs led him to depression, but in recent years, Justin has focused on his well being, music and arena tours.
His biggest achievements as of late was his speedy marriage to supermodel, Hailey Baldwin (now Mrs. Bieber) and the release of his recent albums, Changes and Justice .
