Justin Bieber Suffers Concussion In Paris Concert

Justin Bieber Suffers Concussion In Paris Concert

Justin Bieber

 Canadian pop star Justin Bieber ran headlong into trouble on a European promotional tour on Thursday, knocking himself out backstage in Paris and dealing with a crushing crowd in Norway that left some fans injured one day earlier.

For the second time in his young career the pop idol walked into a glass wall, this time during a concert in Paris. It was in between songs that Bieber, while back stage, bumped his noggin pretty bad and ended up with a concussion.

"It really hurt," Bieber tells TMZ. He explains that he went back to do one last song for the fans, but that's when things got worse. "After that I went off stage and immediately felt really weak...I passed out for like 15 seconds and I was unresponsive."

Justin Bieber Concert in Paris
A few years ago, Bieber had a run in with a revolving door. In that case the door won.

Bieber, who says he will be ok, jokes, "I guess me and glass windows don't really go together."

The concussion comes one day after Bieber, on a brief tour of major European cities to promote upcoming album "Believe," was met with a crush of fans before a free concert in Oslo leading to reports of dozens of young girls being injured.

The 18-year-old singer was forced to tweet a safety message ahead of the show after police were unable to control the crowds of fans trying to catch a glimpse of the star.

"for the show to happen u must all listen to the police. we are all concerned for your safety and i want what is best for u. please listen," Bieber posted to his 22 million Twitter followers on Wednesday.

TMZ said 49 young girls were injured and 14 taken to hospitals, and police came close to declaring a state of emergency in the capital. Those reports could not be immediately confirmed.
This is not the first time Bieber fever has caused crowd control and safety issues. In November 2009, fans stampeded a shopping mall in Long Island, New York ahead of an appearance by the pop star, forcing organizers to cancel the event.

Bieber's manager was charged with reckless endangerment and criminal nuisance, but the charges were later dropped.

Man Killed While Eating Victim's Face

A naked man was shot Saturday after being discovered eating another man's face.

Zombie Attack in Miami


Miami police were called out Saturday at 2 p.m. after a report that two men were having a public conflict off a highway ramp near NE 13th st. When police arrived, they discovered a naked man eating off the face of the second man.

Rudy Eugene and Ronald Poppo
Rudy Eugene                                      Ronald Poppo
 The man, who was decribed to look like a "zombie," was later identified as 31-year-old Rudy Eugene. Eugene was shot by police a number of times after he continued to maul Ronal Poppo's face despite being told to stop.

"The guy - he was like a zombie, blood dripping; it was intense," Larry Vega, a biker was riding nearby and witnessed the incident, told reporters. "I never thought I would see someone eating someone. It was really, really horrific."

Police suspect that Eugene may have been suffering from "cocaine psychosis" according to the Huffington Post, which stated that few other details had been released. The victim, believed to be a homeless man, was in the hospital recovering on Monday, although witnesses said the man's face was left barely recognizable.

Eugene was "growling like an animal as he swallowed pieces of flesh" before officers fired the initial shot, according to The New York Daily News. Following the initial shot, the suspect continued "chomping on the man's ears, nose and cheeks -- and even tried to gouge out his eyeballs" before cops fired several more shots.

 Watch the video below:

Zombie Attack in Miami

Zombie in Miami


The Miami cannibal attack became a national headlines after Rudy Eugene, a homeless man was shot and killed by police after being caught in the act of chewing on another human being's face - that of another homeless man named Ronald Poppo.

 Now, some conspirators claim it is just the latest sign that a "zombie apocalypse" is sweeping across the nation.

But that is not the only event to happen in the last 12 days in Florida that conspiracy theorists say is evidence that the long-feared "zombie apocalypse" is beginning in the sunny state and elsewhere throughout the nation.

 In chronological order, here’s what went down in the sunny state:

May 16 – According to a report by the Huffington Post, students and teachers at a Florida high school had to be decontaminated after breaking out in a mysterious rash.

May 21 – According to a report by MySuburbanLife.com, A man from Bellwood, Illinois, was arrested after allegedly biting an 18-year-old woman’s cheek.

May 23 – According to NBC San Diego, a man from Spring Valley, California was arrested for allegedly biting the tip off of his cousin’s nose off.

May 26 – According to ABC News, a Florida anesthesiologist allegedly banged his head against the inside of a cop car until he started bleeding following a DUI arrest last Saturday, the same day as the Miami cannibal attack. He then proceeded to allegedly spit blood in a police officer’s face.

The concept of a "zombie apocalypse," during which humans turn into zombies and walk the earth in search of the last remaining humans so they can feed on their brains, has been popularized by movies like "Shaun of the Dead" and "28 Days Later," and has inspired books, blogs and more about the concept.
  
Zombie's Victim
 Here are more events that support the “Zombie Apocalpse” theory:

May 26 – According to the Daytona Beach News-Journal, a man from Palm Coast, Florida, was arrested for allegedly biting the lips off one kitten and strangling another cat to death.

May 27 – According to the Daily Mail, a man from Hackensack, New Jersey, allegedly stabbed himself repeatedly in front of the police then began to pull his own guts out, and proceeded to throw his intestines at police officers.

These weird events happened in nearby locations just a period of 12 days since the breakout of a mysterious rash at a Florida High School. Is this really the beginning of “Zombie Apocalypse”?

If this is really a sign that “Zombie Apocalypse” is indeed true, where will you go to avoid these cannibal attacks?

James Reid and Bret Jackson - Hope It's Soon

James Reid and Bret Jackson Release Debut Single "Hope It's Soon" (Music Video and Lyrics)



Pinoy Big Brother Teen Clash 2010 Big Winner James Reid and sixth placer Bret Jackson have released their debut single titled "Hope Its Soon" off of their debut album called "We Are Whatever (WAW)" under Star Records. 



On a bus, on a plane on the road switching lanes
She call me up to see if I'm make it home someday
I tell her I really don’t know I really don’t know

And that’s gonna hurt her again
Something I never wanna do to her again
Maybe were better off just being friends

But she always tell me it will be us in the end
But how does she know she just knows
Something she explained to me before (me before)

Shit got crazy before things were hazy before
When I was nobody and no one wanted to play me
Or the songs or the music that I made

I was just a kid who didn’t have a name
I guess things really really really do change
Something I don’t like to admit
But I’d rather tell the truth then talk a bunch of shit

And that’s why it's never over
That’s why ill never quit
And with her on my mind with her given time

I promise I’ll work hard to the bone till I die
I promise I promise I promise to be true
I'm coming home to you I just hope its soon

I promise I promise I promise to be true
im coming home to you I just hope its soon

Baby you don’t owe em just take your time and show em
yeah we could fall in love or try

lose your body make me feel alright alright
lose your body make me feel alright alright

Baby you don’t owe em just take your time and show em
Yeah we could fall in love or try

Lose your body make me feel alright alright
Lose your body make me feel alright alright alright
Lose your body make me feel alright alright

I cant wait to see my baby it’s been so long
I cant go on when I think of you I go crazy
I need your touch miss you so much

Whatever obstacles have come in between me and you
If you trust me again I promise will make it through
I just hope its soon I just hope its soon

Baby you don’t owe em just take your time and show em
Yeah we could fall in love or try

Lose your body make me feel alright alright
Lose your body make me feel alright alright
Baby you don’t owe em just take your time and show em
Yeah we could fall in love or try

Lose your body make me feel alright alright
Lose your body make me feel alright alright alright
Lose your body make me feel alright alright

Isaac Lamb Wedding Proposal

Isaac Lamb of Portland Oregon not only choreographed an elaborate lip-synch and dance routine wedding proposal to his girlfriend Amy Frankel but his video proposal has now gathered over 7 million hits on YouTube 5 days after its upload.

The proposal is elaborate but not expensive, choreographed but not constrained. In this city where the television show "Portlandia" suggested young people go to retire, most of the dancers in the video look like they fell off the bus from central casting headed for its set.

For all the pageantry, though, the proposal itself was pretty simple

The song "Marry You" by Bruno Mars, the stunt features roughly 60 of the couple's friends and family members dancing and lip syncing through the streets, culminating in Lamb getting down on one knee.

President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III, through his Deputy Presidential Spokesperson Abigail Valte, released an official statement related to the guilty verdict of 20 Senator-judges on Chief Justice Renato Corona's impeachment case.

Here's the  Malacanang’s official statement:

"This afternoon, 20 Senators voted to convict Mr. Renato C. Corona on Article II of the Articles of Impeachment.

Our democratic institutions have been strengthened and have been proven to work.

Mr. Corona is merely the public face of the things that ail our justice system.

Let us never forget that those who come to court, be they rich or poor, must do so in the expectation of receiving impartial justice from those who uphold both the spirit and the letter of the law.

The verdict of the Senate is a step forward in terms of restoring public confidence in our courts, and trust in the members of the judiciary."

Men in Black 3 - Number 1 InThe Philippines

Men in Black 3 Grosses P68.73-M, Opens at Number 1 in the Philippines

Alien-hunting black-suited secret agents have invaded the top of the box office.

Men In Black 3

Columbia Pictures' sci-fi action comedy “Men In Black 3” starring Will Smith opened at No. 1 in the Philippines, amassing a nationwide gross of an out-of-this-world P68.73-million for the five-day opening weekend May 23-27 frame. This was announced today by Victor R. Cabrera, managing director of Columbia Pictures Philippines.

“Men In Black 3's” first weekend haul in the Philippines is the second best opening of 2012 for a foreign movie, behind only “Marvel’s The Avengers” and beating the bows of “Wrath of the Titans” (P62.5-million), “The Hunger Games” (P62.3- million) and “Battleship” (P46.3-million).
In the U.S., the sequel which reunited Smith with co-star Tommy Lee Jones and director Barry Sonnenfeld, effectively wrestled away the box-office crown from “Marvel's The Avengers” which has dominated the North American tills for the past weeks. "Men in Black 3" debuted as the No. 1 movie over the Memorial Day holiday weekend with $55 million. Distributor Sony estimates that by the end of the four-day holiday weekend Monday, "Men in Black 3" will have pulled in $202 million worldwide.
Men In Black 3 Movie Trailer
Back in the Philippines, “MIB 3” rolled out on 260 screens, with SM Mall of Asia getting the lion's share of sales with P3.95-M, followed closely by SM North EDSA (P3.86-M) and Trinoma (P3.55-M).

Other top performing cinemas are Power Plant (P2.64-M), Greenbelt 3 (P2.41-M), SM Megamall (P2.40-M), Newport (P2.12-M), Glorietta 4 (P2.05-M), SM Cebu (P1.95-M) and Alabang Town Center (P1.93-M).


Rounding out the Top 20 cinemas are Eastwood (P1.79-M), Greenhills (P1.429-M), Gateway (P1.42-M), Robinsons Ermita (P1.36-M), Shang Cineplex (P1.33-M), Robinsons Galleria (P1.11-M), SM Southmall (P1.08-M), Ayala Cebu (P1.05-M), SM Fairview (P1.03-M) and Festival Mall (P978,423).
 
Will Smith
In “Men In Black 3,” Agents J (Smith) and K (Jones) are back... in time. J has seen some inexplicable things in his 15 years with the Men in Black, but nothing, not even aliens, perplexes him as much as his wry, reticent partner. But when K's life and the fate of the planet are put at stake, Agent J will have to travel back in time to put things right. J discovers that there are secrets to the universe that K never told him -- secrets that will reveal themselves as he teams up with the young Agent K (Brolin) to save his partner, the agency, and the future of humankind.
Audiences who watch “Men in Black 3” in Digital 3D also get to screen an extended 6-minute sneak peek of Columbia Pictures’ next super-blockbuster “The Amazing Spider-Man” as an added attraction. 2D screenings of “MIB 3” will play a new trailer of “The Amazing Spider-Man,” opening in Philippine cinemas June 29.

Coco Martin vs. John Loyd Cruz?

ABS-CBN Primetime Bida "Walang Hanggan" star Coco Martin refused to be compared to fellow Kapamilya actor John Lloyd Cruz after several movie pundits noted similarities between the two actors who can both express emotions just with their eyes.

In an interview with “The Buzz” on Sunday, Martin said any actor would want to be recognized for his own talent and not because of similarities with other stars.

“Ako kasi 'yung tipo ng tao at artista na ayoko ikinukumpara sa kahit kanino kasi iba-iba naman kami bilang tao at iba iba rin naman yung ginagawa naming proyekto,”  he said.

Martin and Cruz are among the more bankable leading men of their generation.

Martin, who started his career appearing in independent films, also refuses to feel pressured despite the high expectations for his upcoming movie “Born To Love You.”

“Hindi ako nag-e-expect ng mataas. Kung ano man kinalabasan nito, happy ako kasi gumawa ako ng isang magandang pelikula. Pero 'yung sinasabi nila na [kung sakaling] hindi kumita, e 'yun 'yun e, negosyo naman ito," he said.

“Basta ang responsibilidad ko, magawa ko ng tama 'yung trabaho ko. Pero 'yung bukod pa dun, ayaw ko nang isipin at problemahin kasi ayaw ko makadagdag sa alalahanin,”  he said.

Meanwhile, the actor is elated that his television series “Walang Hanggan” is lording it over on primetime. It recently scored a whopping 41% based on the Kantar Media-TNS National Household Ratings.

“Sobra akong nagulat kasi siyempre sa hirap ng ratings ngayon, madaming network, mataas ang competition. Pero para ma-achieve mo 'yung ganong kataas na rating, sobrang nagpapasalamat talaga ako sa sumusuporta at sumusubaybay sa amin. Sobrang sarap kasi sulit  ang paghihirap at pagpupuyat. Magsisilbing inspirasyon ito para mas pagbutihan pa namin,” he said.

In an interview on "The Buzz" on Sunday, Quinto said she has heard reports that a woman claiming to be the real mother of the singer is willing to undergo DNA testing  to prove her claims.

"Kaya sabi ko kahit po gumastos ako sa DNA (testing) basta malaman ko lang ang totoo. Kasi ayaw ko namang  sayangin ang pagkakataon na may lumalapit sa akin. Paano po kung siya talaga? Matagal ko na siyang gustong makita talaga, Quinto said.

The singer admitted that she's still hoping to finally meet her mother.

"Siyempre po kahit sino pong tao hindi ba importante sa kanila kung kanino tayo nanggaling? 'Yun po ang pinaka-importante sa akin," Quinto said.

Asked if she  believes that her mother is still alive, Quinto replied: "Sa totoo lang, may mga kamag-anak ako na nagsasabi na patay na daw ang tunay kong nanay. Kaya lang po ang pakiramdam ko ay ang lakas na buhay pa siya. At saka ang tagal kong pinagdarasal 'yon na sana ay dumating na 'yung oras na magkita kami," she said.

In an interview, the singer's adoptive mother Sylvia Quinto, affectionately called "Mama Bab" by the singer, said she adopted the singer from her niece.

Currently, Quinto is promoting her debut film "Born To Love You" with Coco Martin. "Born To Love You" will hit theaters on May 30.
