Justin Bieber gets almost naked onstage

File – Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber stripped down to his underpants onstage Wednesday night after receiving boos from an unimpressed crowd.

The 20-year-old singer was making a surprise appearance at charity fundraiser event Fashion Rocks in New York when he decided to ditch his clothes in order to show off his muscled physique.

The As Long As You Love Me hitmaker and model Lara Stone, 30, were introducing a performance by Rita Ora which featured Calvin Klein jeans and underwear, prompting Justin to show off his own.

Walking onstage to loud boos, Bieber asked: “So, uh, I actually don’t feel comfortable unless I’m in my Calvin’s so … is that cool?”

The rebellious youngster was encouraged by Lara to take his gear off, despite the audience objection, and proceeded to shed his entire outfit apart from his Calvin Klein underwear.

He then tried to encourage the crowd to stop booing and to start cheering.

After the event, Bieber joked on Twitter: “Grandma always said kill ‘em with kindness … and then strip on live national tv. Lol (sic)”

Nicki Minaj almost died, didn"t call an ambulance

Nicki Minaj was convinced she was “about to die” recently. The Super Bass hitmaker stunned the audience at the BET Awards Monday night with her revelation as she picked up the prize for Best Female Hip-Hop Artist and claimed that despite her health scare, she didn’t want to ask for help in case it became public.

She said: “The other day, literally, I didn’t tell anybody this, I really thought I was about to die. Like, I was saying my prayers to die. And I didn’t even wanna call the ambulance because I thought, ‘Well, if I call an ambulance, it’s gonna be on TMZ.’”

‘I’mma do me!’

The rapper then broke the tension with a smile and added: “And it made me realise I don’t care anymore what anybody gotta say. I’mma do me! I’mma do me!”

The Pills N Potions rapper went on to make an apparent slight against fellow nominee Iggy Azalea by stressing that she writes all her own material.

She said: “My point is, what I want the world to know about Nicki Minaj is, when you hear Nicki Minaj spit, Nicki Minaj wrote it. No shade.”

Elsewhere at the ceremony – which was hosted by Chris Rock and took place at the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live in Los Angeles – Beyonc? won three awards but was not at the ceremony to pick up her 2014 FANdemonium award, Best Female R&B/Pop Artiste, and Best Collaboration for Drunk In Love with husband Jay Z, while Pharrell Williams and August Alsina each took home two trophies.

British drug mule fined after almost dying on Caribbean flight

HAMILTON, Bermuda, Wednesday July 2, 2014, CMC - A 48-year-old British drug mule, who feared he was dying after swallowing more than half a pound of cocaine while flying from Antigua to London, has been fined US$800 in a Bermuda court.

The fine was imposed by Senior Magistrate Archibald Warner on Colmin Smith after he pleaded guilty on Tuesday to possession of a controlled drug.

Smith lost consciousness aboard the Virgin Airlines flight on May 16 shortly after telling airline staff he had ingested a large amount of cocaine and believed one of the pellets had opened inside his stomach, forcing the jetliner to make an emergency landing in Bermuda, Magistrates’ Court heard.

After being taken to the King Edward VII Memorial Hospital, government analysts determined Smith had ingested a total of 61 pellets containing 239.39 grams of cocaine. The drug was found to have a purity of 73 per cent and carried a street value of US$68,250, prosecutor Takiyah Burgess told the court.

Warner told Smith he was lucky to both be alive and to only be charged with possession of a controlled drug, which carries a maximum penalty of $1,000.

Smith said he thought death was inevitable, thanking God and the quick thinking of the plane’s crew for being alive.

“After I informed the flight attendant, in my mind, I died,” said Smith, who lives in Birmingham in the English Midlands. “I felt the death coming.”

Warner told Smith “I guess you are lucky, but there are other technical reasons for why you’ve been charged with this but let’s put it down to luck. You should thank whoever you worship or look to, because you are really lucky.”

Warner said Smith could also count his blessings for landing in Bermuda.

“You didn’t go to the first heaven but you came to the second heaven,” he said.

Smith agreed, adding: “I’ve met a lot of nice people here.”

If Smith fails to pay the US$800 fine he faces 80 days’ he faces imprisonment.

News

Thursday, September 12, 2013

USAIN Bolt has revealed that he came close to giving up sprinting in 2006 when he was booed by Jamaican fans for pulling out of a race injured.The star, who was only 19 at the time, began his leg of a 4×400-metre race at the National Stadium in Kingston, Jamaica, but soon had to stop after pulling his hamstring.As he limped off the track, some home fans decided to boo him. Some even shouted that he’d simply given up because he knew he wasn’t going to win.In an exclusive extract from his new book, Faster Than Lightning: My Autobiography, serialised in The Times, Bolt describes how the incident left him questioning his ability as a top-level sprinter and his desire to continue his promising career.Bolt wrote: “Honestly, I had never imagined a time when a Jamaican crowd — my own people that had cheered me on so loudly when I’d won the World Junior Championships in 2002 — would boo me as I came off the Kingston track.“Forgot the pulled hamstring, this was pain on another level. I was only 19, and the criticism hit me hard.“First of all I questioned my ability: ‘I’m not good enough for this sport…’ I questioned the Jamaican fans: ‘Wow, I got booed in front of my national crowd when I was giving it my best.“Then it got worse: ‘Three years ago I started this life. Three years I’ve been injured. Is this really working? Should I really continue? All these things that I do, no matter how hard I try, this might not be for me. This track-and-field thing is tough…’.Luckily for the world of athletics, a chat with his coach Glen Mills was enough for Bolt to see sense and continue on his way to becoming the world’s fastest man. Daily MailTrack and field star Usain Bolt is a picture of contemplation at a recent press conference overseas.Bolt strikes his famous ‘to di world’ pose after winning the 100-metre dash at the 2013 World Athletic Championships last month in Moscow, Russia.
