Jutsin Bieber dropped a bombshell on Christmas Eve.
The 19-year-old singer announced to his nearly 50 million Twitter followers that he is retiring -- with little explanation.
My beloved beliebers I'm officially retiring
— Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) December 25, 2013
The media talks a lot about me.They make a up a lot of lies and want me to fail but I'm never leaving you, being a belieber is a lifestyle.
— Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) December 25, 2013
Be kind loving to each other, forgive each other as god forgave us through Christ Merry Christmas IM HERE FOREVER
— Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) December 25, 2013
The singer pulled a similar stunt last week, joking in a radio interview that he would call it quits after the release of his "Complete My Journals " album on Monday.
Bieber’s new documentary movie "Believe" opens Christmas Day.
Despite tonight's announcement, we have a feeling Bieber will come out of retirement and get back into the studio very soon.
Don't expect Mariah Carey to apologize for her $1 million gig performing in front of a dictator accused of ordering the execution of his political enemies.
The Human Rights Foundation blasted Carey earlier this week for singing for the Angolan Red Cross, connecting the event to both Angolan leader Jose Eduardo dos Santos and his daughter.
Carey's manager, Jermaine Dupri, told the New York Post that his client has nothing to be sorry about, especially given the actions of the current White House occupant.
The president of the United States took pictures with this guy’s daughter and congratulated this man on his many years of being in office. If he can rub shoulders with these people than why is Mariah Carey be accused of doing something wrong?”
When asked if Carey was remorseful for performing for another dictator after she apologized for her 2008 concert for Libyan Dictator Moammar Khadafy and promised “to take more responsibility” for her bookings, he spat back “Why should she be?
During the concert Carey cooed, "I am happy to be here in this room and I am honored to share this show with the President of Angola." Dupri said his client didn't know the Angolan leader was present at the time.
HRF President Thor Halvorssen railed against Dupri's response to his organization's critique, according to the Post.
Dupri exemplifies the hypocrisy, the greed, and the willful ignorance of managers and performers who pose for photos at human rights events one day and accept copious amounts of blood diamond money on the next day.
As is the norm following the passing of any major celebrity nowadays, the Internet is rampant with conspiracy theories surrounding the death of movie star Paul Walker of “Fast and Furious” fame.
Walker was killed with friend Roger Rodas on Nov. 30 when the car they were driving burst into flames. Investigators believe the car was speeding at least 90 mph in a 45 mph zone when it reportedly hit a light pole and tree.
Prominent among the imaginative schemes is that Walker was killed as a blood sacrifice by the so-called Illuminati, an alleged shadowy group described as an elitist cabal that yields enormous global influence.
Another claim, based on a difficult-to-see video showing the moment of crash impact, is that Walker was killed by a drone strike. That unsupported theory is contested by a second video.
Another wild conspiracy circulating on forums is that Walker’s death was “predicted” by the “Family Guy” television show.
Some theorists home in on aspects of Walker’s death that, they claim, have occult, ritualistic or symbolic significance. Drone
One popular claim is the drone strike rumor. The allegation is based on a video released by TMZ.com showing the final moment of the crash.
The video seems to show some sort of reflection just before Walker’s car exploded into flames, prompting cyber claims that an object such as a missile struck the car.
Others have pointed to the lack of tire marks in photos of the crash site as evidence of a supposed missile strike.
Paul Joseph Watson at InfoWars.com, a site known for jumping on other assassination conspiracy theories, called the Walker drone theory a “baseless conspiracy” that “discredits real evidence of political assassinations.”
The site reports the object in the video is “almost certainly” the light pole Walker’s car struck just before the explosion.
(Reuters) - Retired American basketball star Michael Jordan is going to be a father again. He and his Cuban-American model wife, Yvette Prieto, are expecting their first child, celebrity magazine Us Weekly reported on Saturday, citing an unnamed Jordan representative.
No due date was reported.
Jordan, 50, and Prieto, 34, were married in April in Florida after a five-year courtship. They live near Miami.
Jordan has three adult children from his previous 17-year marriage to Juanita Venoy, which ended in divorce in 2006.
The Hall of Fame player won six National Basketball Association championships with the Chicago Bulls. He won the NBA Most Valuable Player Award five times and was named an all-star 14 times.
His on-court success and commercial endorsements have made him one of the most recognizable and prosperous athletes in the United States
Sean Penn cares, deeply, for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and his fellow Tea Party members. It's why the Oscar winner wants Cruz and co. committed to a mental asylum.
Penn shared his views on the Tea Party during Monday's edition of the low-ratedPiers Morgan Live on CNN.
I think they have -- there's a mental health problem in Congress,” Penn said. “This would be solved by committing them by executive order, I think. Because these are our American brothers and sisters, we shouldn't be criticizing them, attacking them … this is a cry for help.
“You literally commit what, people like Ted Cruz?” asked Morgan.
“He is my American brother,” the actor said. “I think we should take care of him, he is in trouble.”
Morgan did not challenge Penn's assertion or ask any follow-up questions as even a third-rate journalist might. Instead, Morgan chuckled like a school girl sitting atop a whoopee cushion.
LOS ANGELES – Samuel L. Jackson has some words of wisdom for President Obama when it comes to his deliberate dropping of “g’s” off the ends of words to seemingly sound like Joe Average.
“First of all, we know it ain’t because of his blackness, so I say stop trying to ‘relate.’ Be a leader. Be f**king presidential,” Jackson told Playboy magazine. “Look, I grew up in a society where I could say ‘It ain’t’ or ‘What it be’ to my friends. But when I’m out presenting myself to the world as me, who graduated from college, who had family what cared about me, who has a well-read background, I f**king conjugate.”
The 64-year-old actor, who stars this fall in the highly-anticipated remake of “Oldboy,” is also known in social media circles as the “grammar police.”
“On Twitter someone will write, ‘Your an idiot,’ and I’ll go, ‘No, you’re an idiot,’ and all my Twitterphiles will go, ‘Hey, Sam Jackson, he’s the grammar police.’ I’ll take that,” he continued. “Somebody needs to be. I mean, we have newscasters who don’t even know how to conjugate verbs, something Walter Cronkite and Edward R. Murrow never had problems with. How the f**k did we become a society where mediocrity is acceptable.”
Raised in Tennessee, Jackson went on to note that he’s finally proud to acknowledge his Southern roots, and how his strict family upbringing put him in good stead.
“Looking back, I love the South so much, even though there was a time when I didn’t feel so proud of being from there. The sense of community there is unheard of in this day and age. The idea that it takes a village to raise a child—it works,” he said. “The one thing my family insisted on was, don’t embarrass us. Don’t make us come to jail, because though we will come to see you, we’re going to leave you there. It just wasn’t an option for me. I was more afraid of the people I lived with than the people I ran with.”
The famed actor also staunchly defended director Quentin Tarantino’s controversial use of the “N” word in last year’s hit “Django Unchained.”
“These 20-somethings can’t turn around and tell me the word n**ger is f**ked-up in ‘Django’ yet still listen to Jay Z or whoever else say ‘n**ger, n**ger, n**ger’ throughout the music they listen to,” he told the men’s magazine. “You can’t have it one way and not the other. Saying Tarantino said ‘n**ger’ too many times is like complaining they said ‘kike’ too many times in a movie about Nazis.”
However, there are a couple of things he says won’t do onscreen – not even for his buddy Tarantino. Maybe.
“Probably dress up as a woman and kiss another guy. I don’t think people want to see me do that,” Jackson added. “He hasn’t asked me, but you know what? If it’s done right and the story is good, I might.”
It has been three years since Jack Nicholson last appeared on screen and now Radar Online is reporting that the three-time Oscar winner has retired from acting due to a failing memory that makes it impossible for him to remember his lines. Radar's source says Nicholson will continue to be a public figure, just not on film.
The 76-year-old icon has no plans to appear in films again after a career spanning five decades.
“Jack has — without fanfare — retired,” a well-placed Hollywood film insider confirmed to Radar.
“There is a simple reason behind his decision — it’s memory loss. Quite frankly, at 76, Jack has memory issues and can no longer remember the lines being asked of him.
Nicholson's decision puts him in a club with fellow Oscar winners Sean Connery and Gene Hackman, who also quietly retired from the acting profession in their mid to late seventies.
Radar adds that Nicholson will still be seen courtside at Lakers' games and in public appearances, such as his co-presentation of the Best Picture Oscar at last year's Academy Awards.
Nicholson's screen career began in 1956 in the television series Matinee Theatre. After numerous film and television appearances, stardom would finally arrive thirteen years later with a memorable supporting role in 1969's Easy Rider. From there, Nicholson never looked back. On his way to becoming a screen legend, Nicholson would rack up an incredible twelve Oscar nominations, winning three.
She might be 38 years old, but Charlize Theron has a body women half her age would be jealous of.
The Prometheus star displayed her incredible figure in a tiny red bikini as she enjoyed a vacation in Hawaii with son Jackson last week.
The blonde-haired actress looked in truly amazing shape, with a washboard stomach and toned arms and legs, as she frolicked with her little boy in the sunshine.
Birthday girl: Charlize Theron marked her 38th birthday on a Hawaiian holiday with her son Jackson last week
Tanned and toned: Charlize showed off her truly incredible figure in a red triangle bikini
Charlize teamed her red triangle bikini with two drop necklaces and a pair of sunglasses as she kept a close eye on her little boy.
Jackson, meanwhile, kept himself entertained by playing with a snorkel mask - attempting to put it over his head, much to his mother's amusement.
Charlize giggled with delight as she watched her 17-month-old son try and figure out the swimming accessory, eventually getting it half over his head.

Doting mother: Charlize looked at her 17-month-old son adoringly as he attempted to figure out a snorkel
Nearly there! Jackson looked confused by the snorkel mask as he placed it in front of his eyes
The actress then ensured Jackson was properly decked out in a full-body swimming costume, protective hat and mini life jacket as she allowed him to get into the hotel hot tub and pool with her.
After allowing the adorable tot to splash around in the jacuzzi, Charlize accompanied him into the main pool.
Keeping a tight hold on Jackson, Charlize encouraged her son to kick his legs as she pulled him along in the water.

In you go! Charlize kept a tight hold of her little boy as she placed him in the water
And clearly not used to such an enjoyable experience, Jackson was seen beaming widely and giggling as he clung to his mother.
As well as enjoying some mother and son time on the holiday, Charlize opted for the break to mark her 38th birthday.
The actress revealed in a recent interview that while she isn't planning to have any plastic surgery at the moment, she hasn't ruled it out in the future.

Good job! Charlize appeared to be encouraging Jackson to propel himself along by kicking his legs
Staying sun safe: Charlize was later seen wearing a black rash guard over her bikini as she walked along in the main pool with Jackson on her hip
She said in a previous interview: 'I don’t know how I might feel about it when I hit 54. We all want to age gracefully. My God, women are under so much pressure!
'With such demands for perfection and an eternal obsession with youth, I’m not surprised that we all become part of this beauty race that seems to be getting crazier.' And asked what her secret to looking good and staying youthful is, Charlize replied: 'When you live a good life and have good thoughts, it shows.'
Smiles all round: Charlize appeared in good spirits as she made the most of the break in her busy schedule
Spending time with friends: Charlize was joined by several pals on the sunshine break

Hip-hop artist Jay-Z has reportedly joined the boycott of Florida over the state's controversial "stand your ground" law.
We respect his concerns.
However, it seems particularly hypocritical for Jay-Z to promote a boycott of democratic Florida, but have no problem vacationing in totalitarian Cuba.
As we all know, Cuba's police-state practices a unilateral "stand your ground" on steroids -- meaning if you even think contrary to the Castro regime, they can beat you, imprison you and kill you.
But why let that impede a "salsa and mojito" tour -- courtesy of the Obama Administration's so called "people-to-people" trips.
Clearly, the deaths of Cuban democracy leaders Orlando Zapata Tamayo, Laura Pollan and Oswaldo Paya, mean nothing to Jay-Z.
Neither do the violent beatings and abuses against Cuba's Ladies in White and Afro-Cuban democracy activists.
San Juan - La polémica bailarina, cantante y actriz cubana Niurka Marcos se cambió su nombre por Obbá Tí lle Mi' -que significa 'El rey de mi casa'- al, supuestamente, practicar la santería.
La artista ha aparecido rapada y vestida de blanco en algunos eventos públicos al ser hija de Changó y Oshun, según informó la revista TVyNovelas Puerto Rico en su nueva edición.
Trascendió, además, que Niurka practica la regla de Osha desde Cuba, por su salud y beneficio propio, y escogió como madrinas a Gipsy Díaz y Elidia Salas, quienes la iniciaron.
Uno de los miembros de esta religión informó a la publicación que Niurka Marcos tiene un trono simbólico en su casa.
La actriz estuvo, alegadamente, con los ojos cerrados en un rito en que se sacrificaron animales, en este caso, gallos, gallinas y ovejas.
ROME, Italy - James Gandolfini’s teenage son called for help after discovering his father collapsed in a bathroom, according to the manager of the Italian hotel where the “The Sopranos” star was staying. The Emmy-winning actor was later pronounced dead aged 51.
Gandolfini, who rose to fame as mob boss Tony Soprano on the hit HBO show, was still alive when the ambulance arrived, according to Antonio D'amore, who runs the Hotel Boscolo in Rome.
The award-winning actor made even brutal mob boss Tony Soprano seem likable, but that was far from his only role.
Gandolfini suffered a suspected heart attack in the bathroom of his hotel room at about 10 p.m. local (4 p.m. ET) Wednesday, according to D’amore.
He said Gandolfini’s son, Michael, was with him in the room and called for help. Hotel staff rushed to the room and found the actor on the bathroom floor, D'amore said.
Workers tried to resuscitate him but he was later pronounced dead at the Policlinico Umberto I hospital, which is about a three-minute drive from the hotel.
Gandolfini and his family were visiting Rome prior to his scheduled appearance on Saturday as guest of honor at the Taormina Film Festival in Sicily.
"He was a genius," said "Sopranos" creator David Chase. "Anyone who saw him even in the smallest of his performances knows that. He is one of the greatest actors of this or any time."
Gandolfini won critical acclaim, three Emmy Awards and three Screen Actors Guild awards for playing Tony Soprano from 1999-2007.
"We're all in shock and feeling immeasurable sadness at the loss of a beloved member of our family," HBO said in a statement. "He was a special man, a great talent, but more importantly a gentle and loving person who treated everyone no matter their title or position with equal respect. He touched so many of us over the years with his humor, his warmth and his humility. Our hearts go out to his wife and children during this terrible time. He will be deeply missed by all of us."
Although a New Jersey native, Gandolfini didn't expect to land the role of Tony Soprano. "I thought that they would hire some good-looking guy, not George Clooney but some Italian George Clooney, and that would be that," he told Vanity Fair in 2012.
But instead, it was Gandolfini who got the nod, and he made viewers care about a mob boss who could order the murder of a family member one minute and turn around and tenderly feed the ducks that swam in his estate's swimming pool the next.
"I think you cared about Tony because David was smart enough to write the Greek chorus, through (Soprano's psychiatrist) Dr. Melfi," Gandolfini said. "So you sat there and you got to see his motives, what he was thinking, what he was trying to do, what he was trying to fix, what he was trying to become. And then you saw it didn’t really work out the way he wanted it to."
Actress Lorraine Bracco, who played Melfi, said in a statement,"We lost a giant today. I am utterly heartbroken."

Carta desde la carcel de Fidel Castro Ruz
“…después de todo, para mí la cárcel es un buen descanso, que sólo tiene de malo el que es obligatorio. Leo mucho y estudio mucho. Parece increíble, las horas pasan como si fuesen minutos y yo, que soy de temperamento intranquilo, me paso el día leyendo, apenas sin moverme para nada. La correspondencia llega normalmente…”
“…Como soy cocinero, de vez en cuando me entretengo preparando algún pisto. Hace poco me mandó mi hermana desde Oriente un pequeño jamón y preparé un bisté con jalea de guayaba. También preparo spaghettis de vez en cuando, de distintas formas, inventadas todas por mí; o bien tortilla de queso. ¡Ah! ¡Qué bien me quedan! por supuesto, que el repertorio no se queda ahí. Cuelo también café que me queda muy sabroso”. “…En cuanto a fumar, en estos días pasados he estado rico: una caja de tabacos H. Upman del doctor Miró Cardona, dos cajas muy buenas de mi hermano Ramón….”. “Me voy a cenar: spaghettis con calamares, bombones italianos de postre, café acabadito de colar y después un H. Upman #4. ¿No me envidias?”. “…Me cuidan, me cuidan un poquito entre todos. No le hacen caso a uno, siempre estoy peleando para que no me manden nada. Cuando cojo el sol por la mañana en shorts y siento el aire de mar, me parece que estoy en una playa… ¡Me van a hacer creer que estoy de vacaciones! ¿Qué diría Carlos Marx de semejantes revolucionarios?”.
