Justin Bieber Pulled Over by Cops in Miami - Photo

Teen pop sensation Justin Bieber and his friend Sean Kingston ran into a little trouble Friday night in Miami.

As we reported earlier, Bieber and Kingston were out driving Sean’s convertible Rolls Royce Friday while taking video of them playing pranks on various establishments.

First, they purchased a Frosty from a Wendy’s and tried to return it to a Burger King. Then they pulled off a quick “double coning” while almost hitting a wall in their $400,000 ride before running into a bit of trouble with the law.

The official word Friday night was that Bieber called the cops HIMSELF outside a South Beach T.G.I.F. Restaurant after fans spotted them and started to crowd around the teen idol’s car.

But now we are learning that that was not the whole story.

A witness and employee of T.G.I.F. told HollywoodLife,

“An undercover police officer was driving behind Justin and Sean Kingston. He pulled them over in front of the restaurant on Ocean Drive because he thought it was strange that this young kid was driving a brand new convertible Rolls-Royce.

While he was pulled over, people started recognizing that it was Justin Bieber and they started to surround the car. The police officer told the crowd to back away and then instructed Justin to drive off.”

As it turns out, the undercover Police officer was following the Rolls-Royce because he had noticed the pranking and didn’t recognize the driver and felt he looked “extremely young” to be driving such an expensive car.

He pulled them over for a well-being and suspicious vehicle check.



Word is after the cop realized it was Justin Bieber everybody had a good laugh and the cops helped to disperse the crowd that had gathered before sending the singer on his way.

We think if you’re going to go out and play pranks - a better idea would have been to NOT use a $400,000 Rolls as that may be a bit conspicuous.

Bieber was in Miami with his girlfriend Selena Gomez while she was performing a show as part of her “We Own the Night” concert tour.

This was the first time Sean Kingston had been seen in public since his tragic Jet-Ski accident a few months back that left him in intensive care for weeks.

But this latest run in with the cops seems to be playing into the hands of critics who say Justin has changed and is no longer that little clean-cut teen idol that used to laugh and smile all the time.

Observers say his sudden fame and tremendous financial success has started to affect his personality.

Just last week there were photos released of Justin and his dad Jeremy getting matching Hebrew Jesus tattoos under their left arm.

The two also inked matching five pointed star tattoos on their left elbow a few months back as well.

Not that there is anything wrong with that, it’s just that his fans were not expecting him to get inked up and start getting pulled over by cops and flipping off the paparazzi at such a young age.

We think it’s just a case of a young man growing into his teen years doing what every teen in America does at that age.

Coning is harmless – and it could be worse. He could be doing crack with Lindsay Lohan or smoking weed with Snoop Dog.

We say let him be, and hope he has the right people surrounding him while at the same time giving him enough space to be a kid.

Aaron Carter: “Michael Jackson and I Drank Wine and Did Cocaine When I Was only 15”

On the two year anniversary of Michael Jackson’s death, shocking new revelations have surfaced regarding his behavior around young boys.

It all unfolded in an interview with Ok! Magazine and now 23-year-old Aaron Carter – the younger brother of “Backstreet Boys” Nick Carter.

Aaron told interviewer Daphne Barak,

"I never talked about it, this is the first time. I do miss Michael - I have spent such incredible times with him. I did things with him that nobody else did but I was also troubled about what he did to me."

Aaron went on to tell of some of their most intimate moments, and about the times Michael gave him drugs and alcohol saying,

"I never talked about it… This is the first time. I do… I miss Michael… I have spent such incredible times with him. I did things with him that nobody else did… But I was also troubled about what he did to me."

While only 15-years-old, Aaron talks about spending hours and hours on the phone with Jackson saying they talked about everything you could imagine.

Michael and Aaron would spend several days at a time at Jackson’s Neverland Ranch working in the studio making music, and then watching movies for hours inside the main house.

"Yes, he gave me wine. I mean, I could have refused, but I was 15. And he gave me cocaine. I felt weird about that and other stuff. I admired Michael, but his behavior bothered me a lot. Then my mother called the police…"

Are you kidding me?

While the entire article is only available in the news stand version of the magazine, it seems that this teaser info given on their web site is a bomb shell.

While no time table is discussed, if Aaron’s Mother contacted police about Michael giving her 15-year-old son drugs and alcohol perhaps they were one of the “mystery” accusers that never appeared in public during Jackson’s child molestation case in 2005.

Aaron would have been 16-years-old at the time of the trial.

Perhaps Aaron will be just another young celebrity, like Macaulay Culkin, who will go to their grave without sharing what really happened behind closed doors.

Since Jackson’s death in 2009, we may never truly understand the bizarre world he lived in or the strange activities that took place at Neverland.

For Aaron’s part, we know that since his teen years he has dated and been connected to actresses Hilary Duff, Lindsay Lohan, Amanda Bynes and Adrianne Curry.

He was also briefly engaged to Playboy model Kari Ann Peniche in 2006 but called it off shortly after the announcement saying he had acted prematurely.

Aaron’s last public appearance with Michael Jackson was after the 9/11 attacks when he worked on Jackson’s charity tune “What More Can I Give?”

Unfortunately, Sony Music refused to release the song and the project never moved forward.

However, always one to be skeptic, we can’t help but disclose that Aaron has a new album coming out this year – his first since 2002.

We would hate to think this “leak” of information could in anyway be connected to drumming up hype for a career that stalled out almost ten years ago….

But then again, anything is possible out of Hollywood.

Protests Disrupt U2 Concert in Glastonbury – Bono on the Defense after Tax Evasion

Bono From the Band U2
Well, it wasn’t exactly billed as Woodstock, but the band U2 ran into its own kind of violent protest last night.

U2, and its front man Bono, have long been known for their environmental and social issues, but Bono has come under intense pressure this last month when it was discovered he had dodged taxes in Ireland.

Fans have been protesting the band since the news came out and feel that if they have to pay their taxes that Bono should too.

And things turned ugly in Glastonbury when upset vigilantes calling themselves “Art Uncut” blew up a 20 foot balloon inscribed with the words "U Pay Your Tax 2."

Police struggled with the group before beating them to the ground and destroying the balloon. About 35 people were involved in the violent clash but it’s unknown how many arrests were made.

U2’s Bono, guitarist The Edge, bassist Adam Clayton, and drummer Larry Mullen are some of the richest individuals in Ireland and have been criticized for not paying their taxes.

One protestor said,

“U2 and its members have more money than all of us put together and should be paying taxes just like everybody else. Ireland is in the middle of its worst economic downturn and we find out these guys are skipping out. It’s just not fair.”

In a flashback to Woodstock, over 150,000 people had descended on a farm in Glastonbury in southwest England for the concert which includes acts by Morrissey, U2, Mumford & Sons, Coldplay, Beyonce and many others.

While being billed as a humanitarian event many of the fans took the opportunity to protest U2’s hypocrisy.

Another protestor said,

“We know the band has done a lot for not only Ireland but the rest of the people in the World. But when they won’t even pay the taxes in their own country it makes you think they have sold out and it’s really all about the money. They have enough mansions, cars, and toys – now they should make things right at home.”

Many of the fans protested in one way or another and there were thousands of people sporting T-shirts or signs that said “U2 – Bring it home. Pay your taxes.”

Many of the bands supporters became upset in 2006 when U2 moved its corporate headquarters to the Netherlands where taxes on music royalties are very low. This left many Irish fans feeling like they had been abandoned and betrayed by Bono.

Nobody from U2’s team has commented yet on the incident.

And they say money can’t buy happiness.

Australian Boy Arrested For Throwing Eggs at Justin Bieber – Video

Last week while Justin Bieber was performing on stage in Sydney Australia someone decided to pelt the singer with eggs.

The YouTube video below shows the eggs flying onto the stage and narrowly missing Bieber.

But we are learning more about what happened – and it’s bizarre.

An unnamed 17-year-old boy broke into the Sydney’s Acer Arena through a roof panel and lobbed the eggs at Bieber from almost 100 feet above the stage.

Once the eggs were thrown, event staff and security saw the boy running from the scene and called police.

Police were able to identify the egg thrower a few days later from comments left on a social network site, and paid a visit to his house in Bondi Junction where he was arrested.

He was taken to the police station in Waverly and charged with breaking and entering, trespass and malicious damage.

While the youths name is not being released we know that he has been bailed out of jail and required to appear in Sydney Children’s court in June.

No one in Bieber’s camp has made any comments about the incident but say they are aware of the YouTube video of the incident which has already received over 1.5 million views.

Charlie Sheen Police Escort in Washington D.C. Under Investigation

Tuesday was a busy day for Charlie Sheen.

He started in L.A. in a court room fighting for custody of his children, and by nightfall he was racing to Washington D.C. on a private jet to do a show.

Sheen landed in D.C. almost an hour late and somehow was able to convince the D.C. police to give him a full escort to DAR Constitution Hall.

Sheen tweeted a picture of the speedometer at 80 MPH and lights flashing and said,

"In car with Police escort in front and rear! Driving like someone's about to deliver a baby! Cop car lights."


Now an internal investigation is underway by the Washington D.C. Police Department and they want to know how this all happened saying,

“Citizens of the District don’t want to see their police force used to escort private citizens and that Charlie Sheen, of all people, is getting a personal escort. This entire matter is under investigation.”

Please keep it simple guys. Just send Sheen a bill and I’m sure he’ll pay it.

Problem solved.

Frankie Muniz Involved In Domestic Dispute and Possible Suicide Attempt

Movie star and Hollywood cutie Frankie Muniz, who played Malcolm in “Malcolm in the Middle”, was involved in some type of domestic disturbance earlier this week at his Arizona home that he shares with his girlfriend Elycia Turnbow.

Muniz’s reps just released the following statement:

"Frankie and Elycia had an argument a few days ago. The police were called to the residence. A gun played no part in the argument and was voluntarily given to the police for safekeeping. There were no bruises and neither left the residence. He was not suicidal. She was not assaulted."


But according to the police report an argument was in full swing when Frankie shoved Elycia, then pulled out a gun and pointed it at his head prompting her to call 911.

Apparently the loaded gun was turned over to police, no charges were filed, and everybody calmed down and the cops left the scene.

Frankie’s press release also stated that the couple is still together and are "moving forward with their lives and with their relationship."

We suspect there may be more to the story than the young couple is offering.
