There is nothing like spending time with old pals.

Selena Gomez helped kick off the Grammy weekend celebrations around Los Angeles and attended the Beats Music Launch Party At Belasco Theatre on Friday, Jan. 24.

A source tells E! News the Spring Breakers star arrived with her costar Ashley Benson and a tall, dark haired, older looking man around 10:40 p.m. The brunette beauty, who appeared to be in "great spirits," sat upstairs in the VIP area and posed for photographs with the Pretty Little Liars starlet.

The 21-year-old "Come and Get It" singer looked stunning in a black ensemble, a Doloris Petunia headpiece, a bindi and bright red lips, while the 24-year-old actress was chic in a black leather dress and matching choker.

Also joining Selena and Ashley in VIP was none other than Sir Paul McCartney, who was spotted jamming with music producer Jimmy Iovine and Macklemore.

The night's performances featured some of the decade's biggest hip hop artists including Dr. Dre, who was later joined by Eminem to close the show, Trent Reznor, Sean "Diddy Combs" and many more.

On the other side of the country, Gomez's ex Justin Bieber was all smiles as he left his rental home in Miami.

The 19-year-old pop star, who was mobbed by fans and photographers, stepped out for the first time since leaving jail following his DUI arrest.

"YOU ARE ALL WORTHY NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE SAYS >> BE STRONG GOD IS WITH US ALL> MY BELIEBERS CHANGED MY LIFE> I WILL FOREVER BE GRATEFUL," the usually avid Twitter user wrote on Friday evening, breaking his post-bust silence.

Bieber later added an Instagram selfie along with the caption, "Thank u lord."
