Is Justin Bieber Tiring of the Fame and Fortune? Friends Say He Is Growing More and More Frustrated

Even good things can seem bad when there is too much of it too fast. This is what some insiders are saying about teen sensation Justin Bieber and his meteoric rise to fame. But some people close to the singer are starting to quietly come forward telling of a young man growing increasingly frustrated at the world of celebrity stardom. Bieber’s biggest complaint? No privacy. He is followed now by two body guards every place he goes and there is security outside his door while on the road in Hotels. “People are ALWAYS around him. Changing his close, messing with his hair, taping microphone wires too him, move here, stand there kind of thing. When he moves around, he always moves with a team of people”. They also say Justin is growing tired of having his mother, Pattie Mallette, around twenty-four hours a day. “Justin is starting to grow up and is not happy having his mother shadow him while at home and on tour. He feels that he is old enough to venture out on his own and it makes him feel like a little kid when his mother is always around. He thinks it might not be cool for a kid his age to hang around his mother as much.” Justin is guided through every step of his waking day by managers telling him about everything from what to eat, what to wear, when to sleep, when to work, and what to say. He feels like he has become the very thing he has told is fans he is not – a machine created to sing and make money for the people around him and a music producer’s record label. “He feels like h e has lost a lot of control and everything he does is now about keeping the image, and the machine, moving forward. People book things on his schedule months in advance and he has little time to just relax and be a kid. He travels almost %100 of the time”. His biggest fear is getting sick and not being able to perform because he doesn’t want to let anybody down. He knows on any given day there may be a hundred people earning their paycheck from the “Bieber Machine”. Overseas trips are the worst as somebody on the team is always getting sick from the 5,000 mile flight. “He is also tired of all the scrutiny in his life. In the beginning everybody thought he was gay, and then when he started dating Selena Gomez everybody wanted to kill her!” Bieber tries to play the role of “I’m just a kid who sings”, but now that he is seventeen he is starting to see that those days are gone and that his celebrity status is going to follow him a long time wherever he goes. He is starting to see the payoff for his success – and that payoff is not having much of a normal life. And contrary to what he has told every interview host, he does get tired of the screaming girls – and frequently wears earplugs in public to drown out the noise. “They are always screaming. You can hear them outside the hotel at 6:00 in the morning and at 11:00 at night. Every time he gets out of a car he has to be rushed by a crowed that is screaming at him. It gets old. At first he was great with it, but now you can see it in his eyes – he is growing tired.” But somehow we suspect that Bieber will find his inner strength and push through the drudgery. Not everybody gets this chance to live out their dream – and we’re sure he realizes that as well and is enjoying the good more than he is hating the bad.

Incredible Underwater Photography of Breaking Waves by Alex Tipple

Photo by Alex Tipple, via the Telegraph We thought wave photography had reached its pinnacle when we saw Clark Little’s colorful and dramatic images of cresting waves last year. But an equally creative and committed photographer has pushed the perspective and drug us underneath the crashing waves for a clear sight of what it looks like to be right there in the tumbling water.

China’s ‘3D Fast Bus’ Straddles the Road So Cars Can Drive Under

Photos: Chinanews Too Expensive to Go Under? Go Over… What if there was a way to get most of the benefits of a subway, but without the costs of digging up all those tunnels? The Chinese company Shenzhen Hashi Future Parking Equipment Co. thinks it might be able to do just that with a concept it calls the 3D Fast Bus (which has also been called the straddling bus), and kind of giant bus/train that straddles the street and allows cars to drive right under it. This means that it isn’t slowed down by traffic and it doesn’t add to traffic either. Read on for more details and a video showing a… Read the full story on TreeHugger

The City Season Finale: Whitney Sells Out Kelly

The second season of The City came to an end last night. Is Whitney Port’s relationship with Kelly Cutrone also over after the events we just saw play out? When Whitney is approached by a PR woman, she quickly gets in over her head and finds herself torn between a new opportunity and her loyal supporter. What will she decide? Here’s THG’s +/- recap … Kelly thinks it might be too early to be doing press because Whitney Port could actually end up with more orders than she can handle. Sage words. Plus 4 . Joe has Louise interview Karolina Kurkova. Keith thinks Louise has more of a TV style and Olivia’s subdued approach is better for Elle.com. Really? Minus 1 . GOLDEN GIRL : Somehow, Olivia Palermo is in Elle’s good books. In Tokyo, the editor-in-chief suggests Olivia should appear on stage with the designers at a party that night so Akiko can ask her about her style. No way that would happen if she weren’t on an MTV reality show, but neat! Plus 6 . Roxy Olin tells Zach she is angry about Whitney. Girl, get over it. Minus 2 . Whitney meets Alison Brod, owner of Alison Brod PR, who says they will do everything they can for Whitney Eve line if she hires them. Thin ice, Whit … Minus 3 . Erin asks Joe who will be the new face of Elle ‘s website. He says he hasn’t decided yet, but he’s hearing some great things about what Olivia is doing in Japan. Erin blatantly lobbies for Louise by mentioning her other job offer. Plus 4 . Kelly calls Whitney into her office. Dun-dun-dunnnnn!! Plus 5 . PORT OF CALL : Will Whitney jump ship from Kelly Cutrone’s tutelage? Alison has been telling people that Whitney fired Kelly and hired her. Whitney quickly apologizes and Kelly says that Alison’s claims are making her look like an ambitious idiot, but Kelly’s right, she got herself into this mess. Minus 4 . At a boardroom meeting, Joe announces that Olivia Palermo will be the new face of the Elle website and says he is sorry for Louise to be leaving. Erin Kaplan is not happy. “Are you OK with that?” asks Olivia with a smile. Plus 8 , b!tch. Roxy later tells Whitney that her loyalty is to Kelly. “If you sign with Alison things will change with you and Kelly,” warns young Ms. Olin. Such integrity! Plus 3 . Seemingly unclear of what to do, Whitney appears deep in thought as Roxy walks away … think this was dramatized at all? Minus 5 , because we assume so. FINALE TOTAL: +9. SEASON TOTAL: +5 .
