Yes, you read that right. Artist Wil Fry has created an ultra-limited edition t-shirt of the Nike Air Yeezy 2. How limited? To paraphrase Jay-Z on “Show You How,” “this be a one of one, that means none before it, none to come.” But the price tag is the real kicker; it will cost you just north of $90,000… Continue

Justin Bieber ran afoul of the law once again last week. Or he drove afoul of it, to be more accurate. The young singer was pulled over by Los Angeles police on Friday after 10 people called 911 due to his excessive speeding and weaving on the 101 Freeway. Yes, Bieber was trying to escape the paparazzi – but is that really an excuse for endangering other motorists? The worst case scenario is those (pathetic) photographers simply would have snapped some pictures of the artist. Moreover, as TMZ recounts, this is merely Bieber’s latest brush with highway patrolmen. He was cited for going 90 miles per hour in his Range Rover last year… and he was pulled over in October for actually cutting off an officer . Two months later? Bieber was caught making an illegal left turn. He also once hit a Honda whole driving a Ferrari. Before you jump to Justin’s defense, close your eyes and imagine: What would you be saying if Lindsay Lohan had this driving record? So… should Justin Bieber have his license suspended?

Niall Horan may need to clean up his act, or at least his mouth, if he really wants a shot with Demi Lovato . The One Direction singer took major exception to fans asking for his time/attention at the Dublin Airport this week, never breaking stride and using the naughtiest of words in response to their catcalls: “Remember the last time I walked out here… you shower of cunts.” Whoa there! Watch the one-sided exchange now:

Justin Bieber was involved in both a dangerous and illegal situation this afternoon, and it all went down on the 101 in Los Angeles. As first reported by TMZ, the artist was pulled over for speeding and reckless driving after L.A. City Councilman Dennis Zine – a witness and former LAPD patrolman – spotted Justin barreling down the freeway in his Fisker Karma, allegedly over 100 miles per hour. Zine believes Bieber should have been arrested on the spot. “Bieber was driving like a maniac,” Zine tells TMZ. “He was weaving in and out of traffic. There was hardly any space between cars as he weaved from lane to lane.” HOWEVER, Zine also acknowledges that Bieber had at least somewhat of an excuse for his actions: the paparazzi were right on his (expensive) tail. Four “reporters” swarmed Justin’s car as soon as it was pulled over, in fact. Sources say law enforcement officials will investigate these journalists for creating a hazardous circumstances, while Bieber’s manager, Scooter Braun, says his client was cited for going 80 mph and actually dialed 911 himself a short time later because the paparazzi picked up their pursuit. Man. At least Justin and Selena Gomez are doing better these days.

Beyonce came, saw and conquered the 12th annual BET Awards. She “only” one won award, but by flashing that big smile every time cameras cut to her (approximately every 10 seconds), she was the star of the evening. Her man, Jay-Z, took home a pair of awards (Best Group and Best Video), so it was a successful night for the parents of Blue Ivy Carter all around. With Samuel L. Jackson handling hosting, and stars such as Bey, Jay, Chris Brown Kanye West and Nicki Minaj on hand, there was mega-star wattage. Minaj’s performance and the lack of censorship are sure to cause some people headaches today, while lighter and heavier moments were abundant. Jokes were made about Lauryn Hill’s tax problems and Kanye’s cutting off Taylor Swift at the MTV VMAs. His GF Kim Kardashian was present as well. Finally, a moving Whitney Houston tribute by Mariah Carey, Monica, Brandy and the late star’s mom Cissy Houston left nary a dry eye in the venue.

‘He’s not a reckless guy out there just wildin’ out,’ Cash Money CEO tells MTV News after Drizzy’s altercation with Chris Brown. By Rob Markman Birdman in Atlanta on Friday Photo: ATLANTA — No matter the drama, Cash Money CEO Bryan “Birdman” Williams is riding with his artists. Never one to indulge in rap beef, on Friday (June 15) during an interview with MTV News, Stunna made it clear that he is in full support of Drake in the aftermath of Wednesday night’s brawl in a New York City nightclub that involved Chris Brown and members of their respective crews. “Well, to me, I think n—as got Drake twisted. A lot of n—as be playin’, pitty-pattin’ with Drake. I don’t like that sh–, period,” Birdman said to us in an exclusive interview. “Drake is one of us, so if you f—in’ with Drake, you f—in’ with us, period!” Birdman wasn’t in attendance when the fight broke out at W.I.P. in NYC, but firmly believes the Take Care MC did nothing wrong. Drake alleges he wasn’t involved in the melee, which left a number of people injured including one of Brown’s bodyguards and NBA player Tony Parker. “To me, Drizzy ain’t did nothin’ wrong, he ain’t done nothin’ wrong to nobody. He just doin’ great music,” Bird said in defense of his artist. “He’s not a reckless guy out there just wildin’ out; he’s a humble kid makin’ great music.” Drake Vows To Outdo Summer Jam At New York Show It’s no secret that the #1 Stunna is about his money, and to him, beef is bad for business. “We never been a brand to carry ourselves in any foul manner. None of us, none of the acts,” he said of his Cash Money roster. “We’ve been doin’ this, we want to do this for another 20 years.” Still, the CM CEO understands how quickly things can get out of hand. He recalls a time where shootings weren’t uncommon between warring factions but now sees those types of altercations as a thing of the past. “It’s a different era, and we don’t promote that, we’re not about that, but I think sometimes sh– get outta hand, and you just gotta be ready for it,” he said. “We did enough of that, so these n—as ain’t got to do it.” On Saturday (June 16), rumors of an imminent Drake arrest were circulating on the Net but an NYPD official confirmed to MTV News that were “no arrests” looming, adding that an “investigation is ongoing.” Related Artists Birdman Drake Chris Brown

“I feel like the real me is somewhere else…” Ethan Hawke is American writer Tom Ricks, flailing at a personal and professional rock bottom in the City of Lights. Kristen Scott Thomas is the mysterious widow with whom he strikes up an affair. But all in Pawel Pawlikowski’s moody thriller Woman in the Fifth (in select theaters Friday) is not what it seems; watch Hawke lay it all bare — in Scott’s bathtub — in Movieline’s exclusive clip. Based on Douglas Kennedy’s novel of the same name, The Woman in the Fifth marks the fourth feature from Polish-born writer-director Pawlikowski ( My Summer of Love ). Star Hawke has earned critical praise for his turn as the haunted Ricks, whose dark past throbs with menace. Full synopsis, courtesy ATO Pictures: American writer Tom Ricks (Ethan Hawke) arrives in Paris to be closer to his young daughter who is living with his estranged ex-wife. Completely broke, he accepts a job as a night guard for a local crime boss. Stationed in a basement office, his only task is to push a button when a bell rings. The tranquility of the night, he hopes, will help him focus on his new novel. His days become more exciting when he starts a romance with Margit (Kristin Scott Thomas), a mysterious and elegant widow who sets strange rules to their meetings: she will only see him at her apartment in the fifth arrondissement, at 5 pm sharp, twice a week and he should ask no questions about her work or her past life. When people suddenly start dying around Tom, he begins to believe that a dark force has entered his life, punishing anyone who has recently done him wrong. After the police accuse him of murdering his neighbor, Tom tries to use his weekly visits to Margit’s apartment as an alibi, only to find out that she hasn’t lived at this address for the past 15 years. The Woman in the Fifth opens in select theaters Friday. Follow Movieline on Twitter .
