I Beliebe You're in Big Trouble, Justin...


Beliebers worldwide should be terrified for the 19-year-old J-Biebs' future. On March 26 reports released by the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department say officials are investigating a confrontation that occurred between the pop sensation and a neighbor in Calabasas, as reported by Spin.

According to TMZ and multiple neighbors in the gated community, Bieber had his Ferrari delivered to his mansion via flatbed truck and took the car for a joyride, reaching speeds up to 100 mph in the small gated community.

The offended neighbor and father of three went over to Justin's house and complained about the singer's reckless driving. The man says that his wife had been walking the dog that morning and children were playing in the neighborhood because of spring break.

According to the neighbor that confronted Bieber and witnesses in the neighborhood, the teen idol spit at the 47-year-old man and threatened to kill him, allegedly yelling, "I'm gonna f***ing kill you!"

The man intends to press charges.

The Spin write-up of the incident done by Chris Martins compares Bieber to a stubborn, spitting llama. Yes, the one seen here:
Justin Bieber, who was once portrayed as a role model for Disney-watching, prepubescent teens, is now among the likes of Lindsay Lohan, Charlie Sheen and pretty much every rapper out there.

With photos surfacing on the Internet of the Biebs smoking weed, his previous physical confrontation with a paparazzo and his rapper buddy Lil Twist throwing "Project X"-like parties at his mansion, how could a teenager view this kid as a role model?

Bieber took to Instagram to defend himself against the media saying that he needs rehab. In the long, arrogant, self-centered rant, he said:
"Anyone believes i need rehab thats their own stupidity lol I'm 19 with 5 number one albums, 19 and I've seen the whole world. 19 and I've accomplished more than I could've ever dreamed of, i'm 19 and it must be scary to some people to think that this is just the beginning."
The beginning of what though? Success? A rise-and-fall career? Only Justin's own actions and lifestyle can provide that answer.

Lil Wayne Reaches Terminal Velocity


During the 16th century, Galileo Galilei dropped two balls from the Leaning Tower of Pisa, concluding that an object dropped from a significant height will reach terminal velocity when drag pushes up on the body balances the weight pulling the body down. Lil Wayne's career has reached terminal velocity.

With his tenth album to be released on March 26 titled "I Am Not a Human Being II," Spin takes a look at the upcoming album, which features appearances by Justin Bieber, Nicki Minaj, Drake and others.

The content of IANAHBII seems to be filled with nothing but references to sexual acts performed on the female anatomy by listening to the YouTube video compiling snippets of each track. Weezy refers to the female genitalia just as many times as a gynecologist.

Lil Wayne recently disgraced the African American community when he disgustingly referenced the beating of Emmett Till in a remix of Future's "Karate Chop." I won't repeat the line, but for anyone that is interested you can listen to the song here.

While visiting family in Mississippi, Emmett Till was brutally murdered after he had whistled at a white woman.

Epic Records has since apologized for the disgusting reference and has been trying to remove the unauthorized remix from the Internet, stating:
"We regret the unauthorized remix version of Future's 'Karate Chop,' which was leaked online and contained hurtful lyrics. Out of respect for the legacy of Emmett Till and his family and the support of the Reverend Jesse L. Jackson, Sr. ... we are going through great efforts to take down the unauthorized version."
 Weezy has not been dealt a favorable hand. While working on a music video shoot, he suffered from a seizure and was transported to Cedars-Sinai hospital. Wayne suffered a series of seizure-like episodes back in October.

Though Tunechi might believe that he "ain't got no worries," he is sadly mistaken.

Teach Me How to Thom Yorke


If we have learned anything about Thom Yorke in the past three years, it's that the Radiohead and now Atoms for Peace frontman has a very unique way of dancing.

The humorous NME blog teaches Yorke's moves in Atoms for Peace's "Ingenue" step by step like an 80s Richard Simmons VHS tape. Though that analogy may seem inaccurate to some, the truth is Yorke shares some similarities to Simmons.

Yorke recently said in an interview that he practices yoga for at least an hour each day—no wonder why he can dance into those contorted positions.

Lucy Jones' blog is not only witty but also filled with timely cultural references:
"Screw shuffling, twerking or the Harlem Shake—you've got a whole day to learn some new moves to whip out in the club on Friday night."
However, while analyzing one of Yorke's quirky moves she calls "the lean back," she gives credit to Lloyd Banks for originating the move when, in fact, Fat Joe was the original don of "Lean Back" in 2004. Banks only remixed the song later on.

This is not the first time that Yorke has busted a move. His interpretive dancing was featured in the video for Radiohead's "Lotus Flower" in 2011.

Yorke's unorthodox dancing has also been parodied by Fred Armisen in a Saturday Night Live skit, which features Michael Bublé collaborating with various artists for a Christmas album.

Hosting a house party or going out to the clubs this weekend? Well then "the Thom Yorke" is the perfect dance move to bust out if you're tired of "the shopping cart," "the lawn mower" or the "Weekend at Bernie's" dance.
