Say hello to the new Miley Cyrus. After dyeing her hair blonde and cutting off a couple inches last month, the 19-year old has taken scissors to her locks once again – and really changed up her look!
The Spice Girls were together again, if only for one night. The closing ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics featured a number of performances by English music stars, including the UK’s beloved fab five. The best-selling girl group of all time made perhaps biggest splash at Sunday night’s big event, busting out a medley of their catchy pop hits. Watch a two-minute clip of their performance below:
It’s safe to say that One Direction has hit the big time. The popular boy band was one of several acts to perform in front of a live and television audience of millions last night, helping to close out the London Olympics with a rendition of “What Makes You Beautiful.” While being wheeled around on the flat bed of a truck because, hey, why not?!? Watch the singing stud do their thing in the following video:
He did it in 2008 in Beijing. Could Usain Bolt pull off the feat again in London? A few days after his masterful performance in the 100 Meters , Usain Bolt took to the track again today and attempted to become the first sprinter in history to earn Gold in both the 100 and 200 in back-to-back Olympics. Read on to learn if he had reason to celebrate… YES! Bolt once again blew the field away, leading a Jamaican sweep of the top three spots by finishing in 19.32 seconds. Yohan Blake and Warren Weir took second and third, respectively. The lightening quick athlete can now equal his performance from four years ago if he leads his country to Gold in the 4X100 relay. Do you dare doubt that he will? Said Bolt after the race, while acknowledging his respect for Michael Johnson: “I’m now a legend. I’m also the greatest athlete to live.”
Jeremy Renner might not need any help with his performance in bed. But he might require assistance reading labels in the future. Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night, the actor told a story about how he once asked a friend for some sleep medication before a 10-hour flight from Los Angeles to London. An easy enough request, right? Not in this case. “I take a little sleeping pill, pop it and realize nothing’s happening,” The Bourne Legacy star said. “But something else was happening.” If you know what he means! Yes, folks, Renner was given Viagra instead of Ambien and the results kept a certain part of him WIDE AWAKE for almost the entire trip. Watch the star go into detail now:
The second I heard that Justin was coming to Sydney for his Believe Promo Tour , I began to freak out. Justin rarely comes here, and I knew I had to utilize this incredible opportunity. There were many competitions to win tickets to see Justin perform live – but unfortunately, I didn’t win any, despite entering daily for all of them. I began to DM and tweet the member’s of Justin’s crew on Twitter, asking if they could help me in any way. And, unbelievably, I got a response from one of them. He DM’d me “I can get you tickets to Justin’s show in Sydney.” I immediately began to cry, and I phoned my best friend in shock to tell her the exciting news. I couldn’t believe that I actually had tickets to see Justin perform live for the first time. The day finally arrived, and my friends and I spent the entire morning stalking Justin ALL over Sydney, but unfortunately, with no luck. But we didn’t mind too much – we were going to be seeing Justin perform that night, and we met so many lovely beliebers! In the late afternoon, we went to the meeting point and boarded the buses, which took us to the secret location where Justin would perform. We finally arrived, and walked across a red carpet, inside the venue. My friends and I ran to the very front of the area and we managed to get standing spots at the very front of the pit! After a reasonable wait, Justin came on stage. I couldn’t believe how flawless he looked in person, and when he began to sing, I was so overwhelmed to be hearing Justin’s incredible voice, in person. I took videos and photos of Justin performing, and during “Die In Your Arms,” I yelled out “I’LL DIE IN YOUR ARMS” and Justin looked in my direction, and gave me a huge grin (I caught it on video). In the middle of his performance, I saw Alfredo Flores, and I managed to catch his attention. My friends and I gave him our gift for Justin – a cowbell. Alfredo laughed, and put it in his bag, promising that he would give it to Justin. Later on, he tweeted me that Justin had it, and he had been playing with it all night. And after that – Dan Kanter threw his guitar pick into the crowd, and I caught it! After Justin’s INCREDIBLE acoustic performance, my friends and I rushed to the side of the hall, and found Scrappy and Moshe, whom we got photos with. We also found Kenny, and had a short conversation with him. Two of my friends had meet and greets to see Justin and I accidently called one of them during the session. And, just my luck, she handed the phone to Justin, who said to me “Hey Abi, how are you?” I started to freak out, I recognized the voice but I didn’t understand HOW it could actually be Justin… I put the phone on loudspeaker so my friends could hear, and he told me, “Yes, this is Justin Bieber…” and shortly after, we hung up. It was incredible. Justin Bieber said my name and I managed to speak to him, even though it was brief. It was an incredible night – the best night of my life infact, and I am so thankful that I got to finally see my idol perform live. I hope that one day I will be able to meet him, and tell him just how much he means to me. -@KidrauhlYolo Excerpt from: The second I heard that Justin was coming to Sydney for his…
In 2009, Daniel Mustard went viral when he covered Radiohead’s “Creep” on the Opie and Anthony Show. What made the performance (below) so noteworthy? Mustard was living on the streets at the time. Now cleaned up and no longer living in the New York City parks, Mustard resides in homeless shelters and is asking for your help: he’d love to release an album if he an get it funded.
Security scare on AGT: JUSTIN BIEBER AMBUSHED BY FEMALE FAN IN MELBOURNE. The Belieber (as Justin’s fans are known), 14-year-old Amilia Radevska, saw a hole in the beefed-up security team, and decided to make a break for it. As Brian stepped in and restrained the wayward teen, she apparently kicked and screamed “stop it Brian”. “I was looking around and saw a crack in security and thought ‘Now or never,” Radevska said. “He told me he loved me and it was all ok before I was dragged away.” The attempted mobbing went down as AGT host Grant Denyer interviewed Justin after his performance, during which the pop star sang a six-minute medley of his biggest hits. About 800 tickets to the show were given away via radio competitions, with around 1000 fans actually showing up to wait outside the Docklands studios in Melbourne, trying to catch a glimpse of the Canadian-born singer.

Katy Perry To Face Indecency Charge In India Katy Perry must be taking lessons in ratchetness from her BFF Rih Rih … Katy Perry probably doesn’t know the first thing about cricket (even after being married to Russell Brand), which might explain why, during an April performance at the opening of India’s Premiere League, she sought a little onstage guidance from a pro. And now, that lesson has landed her in hot water. Yes, according to U.K. tabloid The Sun, Perry now faces an indecency charge in India stemming from a moment during her show when she brought Australian cricketer Doug Bollinger onstage to demonstrate the proper technique for swinging a bat. Bollinger cozied up behind her and gripped her microphone, a seemingly innocuous gesture that so angered a lawyer in attendance that he filed a charge against the pair — and an Indian court is set to hear the case. That lawyer, K. Jebakumar, claims the gesture — and subsequent hip-shaking dance the two shared — was “obscene and lascivious,” and “distracted students who were writing exams at the time.” Following the performance, Jebakumar filed a claim with the Madras High Court, stating that Perry and Bollinger committed offenses under India’s Indecent Representation of Woman Act. According to local press, Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra and IPL chairman Rajiv Shukla were also cited in the complaint. Source
