Justin Bieber’s Tour Crew Refuses to Return to Japan – Might Cancel Shows

It’s not easy being the world’s most popular 17-year-old Pop star.

And we also know that Justin Bieber is not the kind of performer who likes to cancel a show.

But today during a crew meeting in Adelaide Australia, were Bieber is performing, the road and stage crew overseeing his tour said they refused to return to Japan for more concerts due to fears of radiation from the recent nuclear disaster.

Since the earthquake and Tsunami last month they fear the risk of cancer and other illnesses is too great, and say they refuse to return for shows on May 17th and 19th.

Bieber has already visited Japan on his My World Tour, and is scheduled to return later this month to both Tokyo and Osaka.

The crew reminded Bieber’s manager, Scooter Braun, that both Avril Lavigne and Slash have cancelled shows at the same venues over health fears.

Braun was overheard yelling and cursing at the crew telling them that the Japanese Government had told him there was no risk at all and that they should do what is right for the kids.

At this point there is a mutiny and the crew says they refuse to return.

Bieber himself has not made any comments on the subject and a simple statement released by his PR rep said “They are working through the issue now”.

Australian Boy Arrested For Throwing Eggs at Justin Bieber – Video

Last week while Justin Bieber was performing on stage in Sydney Australia someone decided to pelt the singer with eggs.

The YouTube video below shows the eggs flying onto the stage and narrowly missing Bieber.

But we are learning more about what happened – and it’s bizarre.

An unnamed 17-year-old boy broke into the Sydney’s Acer Arena through a roof panel and lobbed the eggs at Bieber from almost 100 feet above the stage.

Once the eggs were thrown, event staff and security saw the boy running from the scene and called police.

Police were able to identify the egg thrower a few days later from comments left on a social network site, and paid a visit to his house in Bondi Junction where he was arrested.

He was taken to the police station in Waverly and charged with breaking and entering, trespass and malicious damage.

While the youths name is not being released we know that he has been bailed out of jail and required to appear in Sydney Children’s court in June.

No one in Bieber’s camp has made any comments about the incident but say they are aware of the YouTube video of the incident which has already received over 1.5 million views.

Miley Cyrus Does Nirvana’s ‘Smells like Teen Spirit’ During Ecuador Concert – Video

Miley Cyrus sure is growing up.

Once the darling of Disney with her cute smile and famous father, the singer was the classic all American Girl.

Her show “Hannah Montana” portrayed her as a pure and wholesome teen struggling through the life of fame, and her movies are all family orientated and kid friendly.

Well, we all know how that worked out.

She has been seen sliding down a stripper pole, grinding the crotch of her manager, smoking a bong and tripping on salvia, and who can forget the Vanity Fair photos of her and her dad in some unusual family poses.

But Cyrus is a big girl now and is currently on the road with her “Can’t Be Tamed” tour, and last week in Ecuador she paid homage to Curt Kobain and the grunge era by singing “Smells Like Teen Spirit”.

Miley said she has a lot of fans ask her who inspired her to become an actress and singer, so she decided to perform songs from people who had inspired her to follow her dreams.

Did you hear that Courtney Love? It’s not too late.

Justin Bieber Brings Bully Victim Casey Heynes on Stage During Concert – Video

Being bullied himself is something Justin Bieber has talked about before.

In fact last week he was pelted with eggs at one of his shows.

And last year he had a run in with a bully during a paint ball outing where the police were called.

Bieber says he was also bullied in school because he was good at sports and his classmates hated him for it.

But last night during his concert in Melbourne Australia, Bieber brought bully victim Casey Heynes on stage to thank him for standing up to his aggressor and for showing courage during the press fiasco that followed.

For those of you who don’t remember Casey, he became an overnight celebrity last month when a YouTube video surfaced of him body slamming his young attacker to the ground.

When we first heard that Bieber was going to have Heynes on stage we thought it was a nice gesture. But we had no idea of the effort the singer’s management team and Channel 9 put into the making it all happen.

The following video is an interview with Channel 9 Network’s “Current Affair” where both Casey and Bieber are interviewed by Ben McCormack.

It’s amazing to see a young celebrity focus so much attention on a subject when he could just as easily do his show and move on to the next city – injured back and all.

We suspect that this is why Bieber has become such an inspiration to teenagers around the world. Here is a kid who is not afraid to hang out his own dirty laundry in an effort to change the global perspective on issues.

After all, at one point or another we have all been bullied and decided to look the other way. I can only imagine what I would have done as a teenager if I had a stadium of 20,000 screaming fans as a platform to air my problems.

Maybe this kid really is smarter then we adults give him credit for.

Way to go Justin – this is why they love you.

Justin Bieber Gives Away 700 Free Tickets to His Show in Tel Aviv Israel

See, this is why we like Justin Bieber.

Justin Bieber is giving away 700 free concert tickets to his fans so they can see his performance Thursday night in Tel Aviv.

Tickets are being given to children living in the Gaza Strip area that have been subjected to repeated rocket attacks and random mortar shelling.

The tickets, and transportation to and from Tel Aviv, are a gift from The Schusterman Foundation of Israel, The Morningstar Foundation and the ROI Community of Young Jewish Innovators.

Bieber arrived Monday in Israel and is scheduled to perform Thursday night, but also has plans to visit the historic Holy sites of Israel with his visiting father, Jeremy, and mother Pattie.

Several cast and crew members have also flown in family and plan an extended stay and tour of the Holy Land.

Bieber will visit Christian sites in the Galilee, the Dead Sea, Masada, Acre and Caesaria, and is scheduled to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu before leaving.

But things have not gone without a hitch. Tuesday morning Bieber had a run in with Israeli Paparazzi while visiting a historic church. Justin had asked for privacy while inside the church with his family but the photographers had different idea.

One thing that made the ticket giveaway possible is that sales for the show have been lower than expected. The concert venue is in Tel Aviv and many parents are afraid to have their children together in such a large crowded area in case there is any kind of terrorist attack.

Concert promoter Gadi Oron announced Sunday that a parent could enter the concert free with the purchase of two tickets for children at the regular price.

“Many Israeli parents refuse to send their young teens alone to a major rock concert in the middle of Tel Aviv. By giving the parents free tickets we expect to see a larger turnout as they come and enjoy the show with the children.”

Looks like Justin is treating the Holy Land with love, now if the paparazzi would do the same.
