Justin Bieber’s mom Pattie Mallette opens up about her changing relationship with her son in a new interview with People.

Asked about the teen superstar showing more independence since turning 18 last year, the single mom acknowledges, “When your kids hit a certain age your parenting style changes and it is hard letting go.”

“His life was my life and now I’ve had to let him go a little bit and let him be independent,” continues Mallette. ”It is hard to not be able to control everything that your adult child does.”

And while Bieber’s mother used to travel with the singer wherever his career took him, these days the pair spend much time apart.

“I text and call him every day. I definitely want to know everything that he is doing and what he is going through so I try to talk to him as much as he’ll let me,” Mallette tells the magazine, adding, “I mean, he’s on tour and being pulled in a million different directions but we talk as much as he is able.”

The Nowhere But Up author goes on to admit, “A lot of people might think that I have my head in the sand or that I am oblivious to the things my son is doing.”

She continues, ”I know who my son is and I don’t always agree with every single thing that he does but I don’t necessarily have to address that with everyone else.”

“He’s my son and I have to respect he is not going to want me going around being ‘that mom’ talking about his behavior,” says Mallette.

Matthew Perry opens up in the new issue of People about the years he spent abusing alcohol and prescription pills.

The actor, who says his time on “Friends” overlapped with the worst of his addiction, shares that despite the “white hot flame of fame,” those years were incredibly “lonely.”

“I had a big problem with pills and alcohol, and I couldn’t stop,” he says.

Perry remembers that he was often “painfully hungover” during filming of the hit sitcom, until “things got so bad I couldn’t hide it and everybody knew.”

The problem wasn’t being “a massive party guy.” Instead, he says he would “come home, light some candles, have a drink, watch a movie that was slightly over my head and label myself something ridiculous like a misunderstood artist.”

While he admits he used to be “a hopelessly narcissistic guy,” these days Perry is helping other addicts, having turned his Malibu mansion into a sober-living home called Perry House.

As for his plans for the future, Perry would like to start a family.

“I think I’d make a great dad and I think shortly I’d make a great husband,” he says.

Gwyneth Paltrow was named the World’s Most Beautiful Woman of 2013 by People magazine.

But at home, the Oscar winner admits beauty often takes a back seat.

“Around the house, I’m in jeans and a T-shirt. I don’t really wear makeup. That’s what they’re used to,” says Paltrow of her husband, Chris Martin, and their two kids.

Martin will even “joke about it,” she says.

“If I’ve gotten fully dressed up, he’ll be like, ‘Oh, wow! You’re Gwyneth Paltrow!’” she reveals. ”Because he’s used to seeing me in like baggy shorts and frizzy hair.”

Paltrow joins a distinguished list of Most Beautiful honorees, including Beyoncé (2012), Jennifer Lopez (2011), and Julia Roberts (2010).

Paltrow’s full interview will hit newsstands Friday.
