- Justin Bieber back in LA and into more trouble
| Dress in white, Psy tells fans Posted: 27 Mar 2013 02:25 AM PDT SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korean rapper Psy wants his fans to turn up in white at his April concert where he will launch a new song that he hopes will cement the success of his Gangnam Style Youtube hit. "See this pic and let's be white on 0413", Psy tweeted on his @psy_oppa Twitter feed on Wednesday, referring to the 13 April concert to be held in the South Korean capital of Seoul. The chubby rapper, who shot to fame with over a billion Youtube hits in 2012, subsequently poses in a variety of white clothing, ranging from a spacesuit to tennis whites and even a bridal gown and skimpy figure-skating dress. His stylist says the 35-year old is more likely to reprise a concert style based on the suit used in Gangnam Style than anything more racy. Psy has not yet revealed what song he will release. |
| Sales for Justin Timberlake's album beat expectations Posted: 26 Mar 2013 08:29 PM PDT LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Justin Timberlake's first album since 2006 made a bumper U.S. debut, selling an unexpectedly better 968,000 copies in the first week since its release, according to figures on Tuesday from Nielsen SoundScan. The 20/20 Experience gave Timberlake, 32, the top spot on this week's Billboard 200 album chart and marked the singer's best solo effort yet. The heavily-promoted release from the former N'Sync boy band singer had been expected to sell about 750,000 copies in its first week. But after warm reviews and fan fever, the album sold almost 300,000 copies more than the first week sales for Timberlake's last release - 2006's hit album FutureSex/LoveSounds - despite an overall decline in album sales in recent years. The 20/20 Experience marks Timberlake's musical comeback after focusing on his movie career in films like The Social Network and Friends With Benefits, launching his own record label, investing in social networking website MySpace, and marrying actress Jessica Biel. Despite the big first week, Timberlake came in below country-pop singer Taylor Swift's debut in November 2012 when her Red album sold 1.2 million copies in its first week. |
| Justin Bieber back in LA and into more trouble Posted: 26 Mar 2013 08:15 PM PDT LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Pop sensation Justin Bieber flew from Europe back to his Los Angeles area home on Tuesday and into an argument with one of his neighbours - the latest in a series of odd incidents involving the teen singer. Deputies were called to the 19-year-old's house in Calabasas, California, on Tuesday morning after a neighbour claimed that he had been threatened and struck by Bieber, said Los Angeles County Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore. A police report alleging battery and threats by Bieber had been filed and was being investigated, Whitmore said. No charges have been filed against the Canadian pop star and Whitmore declined to give details, citing an ongoing investigation. Under California law, a misdemeanor battery charge can include unwanted touching or spitting. The alleged altercation took place after the Boyfriend singer flew overnight from Poland, startling photographers and Lodz airport officials by stripping off his shirt on a freezing evening as he walked through security and to his private jet. Bieber's publicist did not return calls for comment on Tuesday's incident, which follows odd behavior by the singer during his European tour, including turning up late for a London concert and wearing a gas mask on a night out. A source close to the star said the Calabasas dispute stemmed from a neighbour who came by to complain about parties at the house while Bieber was away. Words were exchanged but no physical altercation took place, the source said, citing the singer's security detail. Celebrity website TMZ.com said the dispute was provoked by Bieber driving a newly delivered Ferrari up and down the street at high speed early on Tuesday morning. The Bieber source disagreed with that claim. Bieber has been playing concerts around Europe for his Believe tour for several weeks, and his next concert is scheduled for Munich, Germany, on 28 March. |
