Bieber boo-ed

Justin Bieber was two hours late for his concert at London’s O2 Arena on Monday, which angered many parents as they had to leave the arena before the singer even got on stage.

The Daily Mail reported that hundreds of his fans walked out of the show, feeling cheated after being forced to wait so long for their idol to perform.

The news report also claimed that Bieber only appeared on stage at 10.35pm – 25 minutes before he was due to end the concert.

Many concert goers were left stranded as they missed their trains and parents were left to deal with their half-asleep and crying children by the end of the night.

The teen sensation took to Twitter to state that he was only 40 minutes late and that he didn’t intend to hurt anyone. He said: “I’m not okay with things being exaggerated. Once again sorry for anyone upset.”

Sharm says: I think people should give Justin a break … poor ‘girl’ is just too busy partying to focus on trivial things like sold-out concerts.

Tighter security

Rihanna doesn’t take her safety lightly. After being attacked in London two weeks ago, the singer took precaution and added five bodyguards to her already huge entourage. The 25-year-old singer partied the night away at a club in Los Angeles amid beefed up security although her on-and-off boyfriend Chris Brown was no where around. In other RiRi news, the Bajan singer told Elle magazine that she is ready to have children in the near future. During the interview, she said: “I will probably have a kid. And I’m praying I can go on vacation for a good month. And I’ll have set some things up so I don’t have to tour for the rest of my life, even though I love touring.” She then added: “I want health and happiness in five years. I want to be healthy and happy.”

Sharm says: I don’t know what’s scarier … people trying to attack RiRi or the fact that there’ll be her mini-me’s in the world soon.

It’s a crazy world

One Direction member Louis Tomlinson has installed a panic room in his house in East London after his girlfriend Eleanor Calder received some death threats from his jealous fans.

According to The Sun in Britain, “Louis loves the fans and isn’t overwhelmed with paranoia. He’s just a realist about the dangers of being in the spotlight.

“One Direction followers are notorious for tracking the lads down, so that’s made him a bit cautious. This is just something that makes him feel safe.”

However, fellow member Niall Horan has insisted he is “carefree” aboupeople trying tot such things.

He said: “It’s only brave girls behind a computer, thinking they can say what they want. Other celebrities get freaked out about death threats. I’m carefree about them.”

Sharm says: Well, Niall most probably doesn’t get death threats because no one cares that he’s even part of the group. Zayn FTW!

Music no more

Ed Sheeran had recently told The Sun that watching Justin Timberlake perform live had made him want to quit music. The 22-year-old singer songwriter said he was ready to bid the entertainment world goodbye after seeing the 32-year-old Timberlake in action recently.

“Watching him made me want to quit. He’s 32 and I’m 22. In 10 years … no I still can’t ever be like him. He makes men look bad.”
