Justin Bieber Apologizes for Japan War Shrine Trip

bieber- shrine

 

Justin Bieber apologized Wednesday to those he offended by visiting Japan’s Yasukuni war shrine this week, saying he was misled to see it as only a place of prayer.

The Shinto shrine in Tokyo honors 2.5 million war dead, including 14 convicted war criminals. China and South Korea in particular see Yasukuni as a symbol of Japan’s past militarism and see visits to it as a lack of understanding or remorse over wartime history.

Two photos posted late Tuesday and subsequently removed from Instagram showed Bieber praying outdoors at the shrine and standing beside a Shinto priest. The images outraged China as well as many commenters on Instagram and Twitter.

In a new Instagram post Wednesday evening, Bieber said he asked his driver to stop when he saw the shrine.

Justin Bieber security guard, driver arrested in alleged camera theft

unnamedOne of Justin Bieber’s security guards and a driver were arrested Tuesday on suspicion of stealing a photographer’s camera in Sandy Springs, Georgia.

The photographer was waiting outside of a suburban Atlanta arcade that Bieber was in when the guard confronted the photographer, according to Steve Rose, a spokesman for the Sandy Springs Police Department.

The photographer left and was then followed by the bodyguard and another man driving a Cadillac Escalade, the spokesman said. The men stopped the photographer’s car in an adjacent parking lot.

The security guard then took the camera from the photographer and fled to the home that Bieber is currently renting in Sandy Springs, Rose said.

A police officer stopped the bodyguard and the driver in the driveway of the home, spotted the camera and took both men into custody.

Both face felony theft charges for the camera, estimated to be worth $10,000.

Bieber was not involved in the incident.

The star is currently preparing to testify in a case bought against him by photographer, Jeffery Binion, who claims that one of the hitmaker’s bodyguards choked him and stole his camera equipment in June.

And Justin Bieber was at it again on Thursday as he was photographed spitting over a hotel balcony onto a crowd of waiting fans.

Showing just what he thought of the throng of adoring girls, the pop superstar can be seen hurling saliva over them ahead of his concert in Toronto as his amused friends looked on.

After the disgusting act, the star seemed to be pleased with himself, turning to his group of admiring friends to laugh.

His impressed pals joined in with the tearaway teen and then they all crowded around him as he took a snap on his phone.

Seeing the reaction from his legions of loyal fans, Justin seems to get even more amused and starts filming them on his phone.

With his friends looking on, the star grins as he snaps away at the people below him, who have just been showered in his saliva.

The star is seen in what appeared to be the same outfit he wore earlier in a video he posted on his Instagram account.

Hordes of fans were seen gathered outside his Toronto hotel and were filmed by Bieber in the video.

‘I wake up this morning to this 🙂 best fans in the world #beliebers #sexyfans’ he wrote alongside the footage.

After months of acting out, including run-ins with the paparazzi and angry neighbors, the “Baby” singer paid a tribute to his mother Pattie Mallette, getting a tattoo of her eye on the inside of his left elbow.

After the tattoo was finished, Bieber posted a picture Wednesday on Instagram with the caption “Moms always watching ;)”

Justin Bieber Wants to ‘Start a Family’ Young

justin-bieber-wants-to-start-a-family-youngJustin Bieber says that he wants to get married at young age. In a new special issue of Us Magazine, the 19-year-old popstar says that he dreams of a romantic relationship like what his grandparents have. “My grandparents Bruce and Diane Dale are my relationship role models. They love each other so much, after so many years! When I’m their age, I want to be as in love with my wife as my grandfather is with his,” Bieber tells the magazine.

He wants to “get married and start a family” while he is young. However, he has to find a girlfriend first. His romantic relationship with Selena Gomez ended earlier this year, but they were caught sharing a hug and kiss on cheek at the Billboard Music Awards.

“As long as people are kind to each other during a breakup, there is no reason they can’t be friends,” he says. The Canadian singer adds that “a lot of people give me relationship advice.” The best advice he got is “be patient and listen.” He explains, “I’m still growing. I’m trying to be a better person every day.”

Bieber probably has found someone he likes. He was caught on camera cozying up to a blonde woman during outing in a Las Vegas Indoor Skydiving on June 16. A picture shows him lying his head on the woman’s lap. His face was half-covered by his cap. A source said that it happened “right before the flight, in a second waiting room area. She was caressing him on the head and shoulders.”

He simply captioned the picture: ‘I guess everyone grows up.’

Because he started his career at such a tender age, Justin’s fans are growing up alongside him.

Where shrilling pre-teens would have previously thrown stuffed animals and held glittery signs in the air, young women are now tossing their undergarments onstage.

The Beauty And The Beat singer recently opened up about what it’s like to grow up under the attentive eye of the modern-day media.

When accepting the Milestone Award during the Billboard Music Awards in May, he stood up for himself while a handful of crowd members booed.

‘This is not a gimmick, and I’m an artist, and I should be taken seriously.’
