Lady Gaga is so terrified that Islamic terrorists might attack her and/or her mega-concert in Indonesia, she cancelled the upcoming show, her reps confirmed. Gaga’s management team announced today there were major security concerns regarding the June 3 gig in Jakarta, the nation’s capital city. Extremists were calling to ban Gaga , fearing that her risque costumes, song lyrics and embrace of homosexuality would corrupt Muslim youths. The Indonesian Council of Ulema chairman, Cholil Ridwan, fervently urged a boycott, saying Gaga “intends to destroy the nation’s morality.” Security concerns for the concert skyrocketed from such beliefs, so much so the Jakarta police refused to issue the star’s tour a permit. This in spite of the fact that 52,000 tickets had already been sold. Given the current lack of permit, and the rising security threats, Gaga’s team threw in the towel and decided to officially cancel today. Gaga then released a statement Sunday via Twitter saying, “I’m so very sorry to the fans and just as devastated as you if not more.” “You are everything to me. I promise I will try to put together something special for you. My love for Indonesia has only grown.” The 26-year-old has courted controversy everywhere in Asia. South Korean critics also called for a boycott; She sang in the Philippines amid death threats, and most recently performed and shopped for a fake Rolex in Bangkok. [Photo: Fame/Flynet]

Aside from gaining a nod from Perez Hilton, Big Bang’s maknae Seungri has found himself in the foreign spotlight – specifically, in the form of a two-minute feature report on the Brazilian news program “Leitura Dinâmica.” After a summary of the widespread popularity of Western artists like Justin Bieber and Justin Timberlake, Seungri was introduced through his latest music videos and hailed as a promising up & coming artist, similar to the Justin’s in terms of mainstream popularity and style. Here are the translations of the report: “Justin Bieber and Justin Timberlake are important names of the actual pop music and serve as reference for many people. Even for a South Korean singer. “Somebody To Love” is still on the radio, in Justin Bieber’s voices. The forgotten “Sexy Back” from another Justin was the start of everything. The two singers already got the top place in the music rankings, but they will stay back after this, because Seungri is the man. Member of the boyband Big Bang, the South Korean singer made a new MV. He has the same music style of Justin Bieber, Usher and Timberlake. We found some similarities with Usher, Timberlake and Bieber. Seungri doesn’t talk about his references. “VVIP” is already in the online music charts, it’s a hit on the Korean radios and prepares his way in America. Justin Bieber and Justin Timberlake should be careful!” Thanks to tamtamvip for the tip! Source: http://www.allkpop.com Report translations: Pollyana & BIGBANGBrazil
