BRAINS & BRAUN: Mega-managers Scooter Braun (Justin Bieber) and Troy Carter (Lady Gaga) are going into business together, according to insiders. The partnership of these two power players comes after Braun secured the financing to begin rolling up management companies. This inside info comes to us from I.B. Bad, HITS’ special op on the ground and behind the scenes in the music biz. You’ll be able to catch I.B.’s latest offering first thing Friday morning—provided you can get online from that remote locale where you’ll be holed up over the long weekend.
