Justin Bieber Is Now Singing ‘Sorry’ In Bars For Free Drinks

Justin Bieber is full of surprises — especially in bars, or at, you know, any unsuspecting practice for your local sports team — but this time around he outdid himself with an impromptu serenade.
At Toronto's Fifth Pubhouse, Bieber was drinking alone on November 4 when he lost interest in the Raptors game on TV and made his way over to the piano.

The only thing that would make this random Friday night any better or more Canadian would be for Drake to roll in eating poutine and freaking out about his beloved Raptors while drinking a Molson and high-fiving Ryan Reynolds or something.
The crowd was delighted and sang along with nearly every verse of Bieber’s 2015 smash, so needless to say the performance went over well.
(The bar didn’t make him pay for a single drink either, according to TMZ, which seems like a more than fair trade.)

Beyonce and Jay Z Sweetly Support Solange Knowles’ ‘Saturday Night Live’ Debut

Beyonce turned Saturday Night Live into a family affair!

The "Sorry" singer, her husband, Jay Z, and her mother, Tina Lawson, were all on hand to support Solange Knowles' debut on the sketch show on Saturday. Solange was the musical guest, performing songs of her new album, A Seat at the Table. while Benedict Cumberbatch hosted, and Alec Baldwin returned as Donald Trump in the Cold Open

Blac Chyna Brings Home 2 New Dogs Just Days Before She’s Due to Welcome a Baby Girl

Blac Chyna‘s baby girls are home — fur babies, that is.

Over the weekend, the 28-year-old expecting mom‘s Snapchat was filled with a couple adorable additions to her life: two white puppies adopted by herself and her pal, Paige.

Chyna shared videos of the puppies, initially named Tilden and Cameron, wrestling with each other, exploring their new home and taking plenty of naps.

“Aw, brotherly love,” she said in one video of the dogs playing together.

However, Chyna and her pal got a surprise when they took the new pets to the veterinarian. They found out the puppies weren’t two boys, as they initially thought, but two girls.

“I guess it’s going to be a house full of girls,” Chyna said in a Snapchat video.

Although Cameron’s name stayed, Tilden was changed to Tilda, Chyna said.

After a shopping trip (and another nap for the pups), the model and the dogs returned home to her 4-year-old son. King Cairo had some fun putting the puppies in their bed and giving them a ride around the house.

Chyna and Rob Kardashian are in the final stages of preparing for the arrival of their baby girl, the second child for Chyna and first for Kardashian, this month.

A source tells PEOPLE that the engaged couple have two separate nurseries — one in his house and one in hers.

“They have separate nurseries because they both wanted to prepare for the baby, but they agreed it wasn’t a good idea to live together while Chyna is pregnant because they were fighting too much,” says the insider.

Despite going through some dramatic ups and downs in their relationship in recent months — much of it chronicled on their reality show, Rob & Chyna — the source says things are looking up.

“For now, things are going well with Rob and Chyna,” says the source. “They are both excited to become parents together.”

INCREDIBLE SIDE-BY-SIDE PHOTOS OF PARENTS AND THEIR KIDS AT THE SAME AGE

Family resemblance is hard to hide! Genetics are powerful when it comes to determining how you look, grow, and develop, and you get your genetics directly from mom and dad. Plus, growing up watching and learning from your parents only makes you that much more likely to pick up their mannerisms, along with a combination of their physical attributes.

If you are 30-years younger than your parents you might easily see the differences that define you, but side-by-side photos of kids and their parents, or even grandparents, at the same age prove just how clearly we resemble our family members.

These side-by-side photos of parents and their kids at the same age are incredible! No matter how far you travel, or how long it’s been since you last saw your biological parents, you can’t escape the similarities that forever hold families together as one.

Anita Ekberg and Marcello Mastroianni in ‘La Dolce Vita’..

This film came out in 1961 and it still one of the most critically acclaimed movies of all time. The title translates from Italian to “the sweet life” and the director Federico Fellini certainly was living it after his comedy-drama won an Oscar!

joe budden disses drake on a six-minute long diss track

It seems as if, these days, if you have been out of the game for a long time you need to announce your return with a diss track. Sometimes it works, and other times it doesn’t quite (just ask Meek Mill). Joe Budden is a respected name in hip hop from the early 00s, but even his most loyal fans will admit that he’s not as big a force in rap music as he once was. That still didn’t stop him from doing this dope track titled Making A Murderer

MOVIES WHERE THEY REALLY DID IT

The Motion Picture Production Code and US law restricted real, unsimulated sex in movies until the 1960s, when mainstream cinemas began pushing boundaries in terms of what was presented on screen. Though most sex acts depicted in movies are simulated, sometimes actors actually perform the real sex acts. According to Wikipedia, “the difference between these films and pornography is that, while such scenes might be considered erotic, the intent of these films is not solely pornographic.”

Here are 23 notable real sex scenes that left many a movie-goer’s glasses steamed over.

Cayetana Fitz Plastic Surgeries Gone Terribly Wrong

Brow lift, facelift, botox, silicone lip injection – these are just a few of the plastic surgeries that the 18th Duchess of Alba went through and gained her everlasting fame, probably for the wrong reasons you would expect from a royalty member. She had so many procedures that her face looks totally different from when she was young.

“María del Rosario Cayetana Fitz-James Stuart y de Silva” is the full name of the Duchess from Spain who died in 2014 when she was 88 years old. As head of the dynasty, she was holding over 40 other hereditary titles. According to Guinness World Records, she was the most-titled aristocrat in the world. We will remember her for totally different reasons.

Disney Star Debby Ryan Pleads No Contest to Reckless Driving Stemming From DUI Arrest

Former Disney Star Debby Ryan pleaded no contest to reckless driving stemming from a DUI arrest earlier in the year.

The 23-year-old Alabama native, who was represented by lawyers in court on Thursday, agreed to a revised charge of alcohol-related reckless driving, the Los Angeles City Attorney’s office confirmed to ET.

Ryan was sentenced to three years probation and must pay a $300 fine and restitution, though the exact amount will be determined in court in September.

She was also ordered to complete an alcohol program, as well as the Victim Impact Program and Hospital Morgue Program.

AMERICAN POLICE ALMOST ARREST DAVIDO

Davido told them he is a superstar from Africa, the cops doubted him until they saw that he has over 100 million views on YouTube and apologised.

"Mehn my YouTube views has saved me from police in America so many times … Make dey leave me," the singer tweeted.

Chelsea Handler Reveals She Had 2 Abortions at Age 16 in Playboy Essay

Chelsea Handler is highlighting how America’s reproductive laws helped her rectify “irresponsible” teenage decisions with a “thoughtful” one.

In a personal essay for Playboy’s “Freedom Issue,” Handler opens up about two abortions she had at age 16 – a subject she has long been candid about.

As a teen, Handler says she got pregnant after having unprotected sex with her boyfriend. “I just thought, ‘Why not?’ I can have a baby. Maybe I’ll have twins and give them rhyming names,” she details. “Of course, the idea that I would have a child and raise it by myself at that age, when I couldn’t even find my way home at night, was ridiculous. My parents recognized that, so they acted like parents for one of the very first times in my life and took me to Planned Parenthood.”

In a new revelation, she explains that she got pregnant once again later that year and was barely able to afford another $230 (Planned Parenthood’s fee for a “safe abortion”).

“Getting unintentionally pregnant more than once is irresponsible, but it’s still necessary to make a thoughtful decision,” writes Handler, 41. “We all make mistakes all the time. I happened to f— up twice at the age of 16. I’m grateful that I came to my senses and was able to get an abortion legally without risking my health or bankrupting myself or my family.”

Handler’s ability to make a decision about welcoming a child into her life, she writes, is thanks to Roe v. Wade, the monumental 1973 Supreme Court decision on a woman’s legal right to an abortion. She calls constant efforts to overturn or subvert the law “infuriating,” but asserts, “I don’t buy that Roe v. Wade is in danger.”

“Once you go forward in history, you don’t go backward. That would be like the government saying, ‘Okay, we’re taking away your right to vote too,’ ” Handler says. “You can’t introduce a black person and be like, 'Oh, I just got a slave!’ That era is over.”

The comedian acquiesces that America will never agree on the topic – but says that’s okay.

“We have 7.3 billion people on this planet. Anybody who carefully decides not to become a parent – let alone a bad parent, which is what I would have become – should be applauded for making a smart and sustainable decision,” Handler writes. “I’d love for somebody to try to tell me what to do with my body. I dare them.”

The essay comes on the heels of the Supreme Court’s Monday decision to strike down a controversial Texas law that it said created an “undue burden” on women’s right to an abortion.

Tina Knowles Defends Her BET Awards Beyoncé Flub: 'I Am Hurt and Disappointed

Don’t you dare question, Tina Knowles! Beyoncé’s 62-year-old mom took to Instagram late Monday to explain a slight flub she made while accepting her daughter’s awards at Sunday’s BET Awards.

After Queen Bey opened the show with a headline-making performance of “Freedom” with Kendrick Lamar, she quickly exited the arena, leaving her mom to pick up her four awards of the evening.

Future Talks Custody Battle, Relationship With Ex Ciara: We’re ‘Connected for Life’

Future is speaking out and even happier.

In a Rolling Stone interview released on Wednesday, the rapper opened up about his relationship with ex-fiancée Ciara, and their explosive custody battle over two-year-old son Future Zahir.

Ciara Files $15 Million Lawsuit Against Future for Alleged Defamation and Slander

“I can’t deal with it,” Future told the magazine about the custody battle that has resulted from his breakup with the singer. “I can’t even think about it. I never imagined my life would be like that: ‘I’m going to sue you and take away from you.’”

“I don’t know how to deal with something like that,” the 32-year-old rapper confessed, adding that making music in the studio has become a source of escape. “All I know is record, record, record, record.”

Of course, his relationship with Ciara has been tense for some time – three months after welcoming their son in 2014, Future was accused of cheating on the “Body Party” singer. The resulting breakup quickly turned volatile – with Future speaking out about his ex on several occasions.

Just last July, the rapper addressed pictures of Ciara’s then-boyfriend (now fiancé), Russell Wilson, pushing Future Jr. in a stroller.

“You never do that in our community. You don’t even bring a man around your son. You only know this dude for a few months and you’re bringing him around your kid? Who does that?” he said during a radio interview with the Breakfast Club. “I’m not for the publicity stunts. Leave my son out of the publicity stunts.”

Watch Justin Bieber Take Another Tumble In Concert

Just a week after spraining his ankle, Justin Bieber is back on his feet -- kind of.

The 22-year-old singer took quite the fall at the Jacksonville, Florida, stop of his Purpose Tour on Wednesday night. Bieber seems to have taken the spill during his performance of "Sorry," after kicking water at one of his backup dancers. But fear not, Beliebers, baby Biebs was quickly tended to, as his crowd of dancers huddled around their fallen star

Tesla driver killed in crash while using car's 'Autopilot'

The U.S. announced Thursday the first fatality in a wreck involving a car in self-driving mode, the 40-year-old owner of a technology company who nicknamed his vehicle "Tessy" and had praised its sophisticated "Autopilot" system just one month earlier for preventing a collision on an interstate. The government said it is investigating the design and performance of the system aboard the Tesla Model S sedan.

Joshua D. Brown, of Canton, Ohio, died in the accident May 7 in Williston, Florida, when his car's cameras failed to distinguish the white side of a turning tractor-trailer from a brightly lit sky and didn't automatically activate its brakes, according to government records obtained Thursday.

Frank Baressi, 62, the driver of the truck and owner of Okemah Express LLC, said the Tesla driver was "playing Harry Potter on the TV screen" at the time of the crash and driving so quickly that "he went so fast through my trailer I didn't see him."

"It was still playing when he died and snapped a telephone pole a quarter mile down the road," Baressi told The Associated Press in an interview from his home in Palm Harbor, Florida. He acknowledged he couldn't see the movie, only heard it.

Tesla Motors Inc. said it is not possible to watch videos on the Model S touch screen. There was no reference to the movie in initial police reports.

Brown's published obituary described him as a member of the Navy SEALs for 11 years and founder of Nexu Innovations Inc., working on wireless Internet networks and camera systems. In Washington, the Pentagon confirmed Brown's work with the SEALs and said he left the service in 2008.

Brown was an enthusiastic booster of his 2015 Tesla Model S and in April credited its sophisticated Autopilot system for avoiding a crash when a commercial truck swerved into his lane on an interstate. He published a video of the incident online. "Hands down the best car I have ever owned and use it to its full extent," Brown wrote.

Tesla didn't identify Brown but described him in a statement as "a friend to Tesla and the broader EV (electric vehicle) community, a person who spent his life focused on innovation and the promise of technology and who believed strongly in Tesla's mission." It also stressed the uncertainty about its new system, noting that drivers must manually enable it: "Autopilot is getting better all the time, but it is not perfect and still requires the driver to remain alert."

A man answering the door at Brown's parents' house who did not identify himself said he had no comment.

Tesla founder Elon Musk expressed "Our condolences for the tragic loss" in a tweet late Thursday.

Preliminary reports indicate the crash occurred when Baressi's rig turned left in front of Brown's Tesla at an intersection of a divided highway where there was no traffic light, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said. Brown died at the scene of the crash, which occurred May 7 in Williston, Florida, according to a Florida Highway Patrol report. The city is southwest of Gainesville.

By the time firefighters arrived, the wreckage of the Tesla — with its roof sheared off completely — had come to rest in a nearby yard hundreds of feet from the crash site, assistant chief Danny Wallace of the Williston Fire Department told The Associated Press. The driver was pronounced dead, "Signal 7" in the local firefighters' jargon, and they respectfully covered the wreckage and waited for crash investigators to arrive.

The company said this was the first known death in over 130 million miles of Autopilot operation. It said the NHTSA investigation is a preliminary inquiry to determine whether the system worked as expected.

Tesla says that before Autopilot can be used, drivers have to acknowledge that the system is an "assist feature" that requires a driver to keep both hands on the wheel at all times. Drivers are told they need to "maintain control and responsibility for your vehicle" while using the system, and they have to be prepared to take over at any time, the statement said.

Autopilot makes frequent checks, making sure the driver's hands are on the wheel, and it gives visual and audible alerts if hands aren't detected, and it gradually slows the car until a driver responds, the statement said.

The Autopilot mode allows the Model S sedan and Model X SUV to steer itself within a lane, change lanes and speed up or slow down based on surrounding traffic or the driver's set speed. It can automatically apply brakes and slow the vehicle. It can also scan for parking spaces and parallel park on command

Tesla conceded that the Autopilot feature is not perfect, but said in the statement that it's getting better all the time. "When used in conjunction with driver oversight, the data is unequivocal that Autopilot reduces driver workload and results in a statistically significant improvement in safety," the company said.

NHTSA's Office of Defects is handling the investigation. The opening of the preliminary evaluation shouldn't be construed as a finding that the government believes the Model S is defective, NHTSA said in a statement.

The Tesla death comes as NHTSA is taking steps to ease the way onto the nation's roads for self-driving cars, an anticipated sea-change in driving where Tesla has been on the leading edge. Self-driving cars have been expected to be a boon to safety because they'll eliminate human errors. Human error is responsible for about 94 percent of crashes.

Musk has been bullish about Autopilot, even as Tesla warns owners the feature is not for all conditions and not sophisticated enough for the driver to check out.

This spring, Musk said the feature reduced the probability of having an accident by 50 percent, without detailing his calculations. In January, he said that Autopilot is "probably better than a person right now."

One of Tesla's advantages over competitors is that its thousands of cars feed real-world performance information back to the company, which can then fine-tune the software that runs Autopilot.

This is not the first time automatic braking systems have malfunctioned, and several have been recalled to fix problems. In November, for instance, Toyota had to recall 31,000 full-sized Lexus and Toyota cars because the automatic braking system radar mistook steel joints or plates in the road for an object ahead and put on the brakes. Also last fall, Ford recalled 37,000 F-150 pickups because they braked with nothing in the way. The company said the radar could become confused when passing a large, reflective truck.

The technology relies on multiple cameras, radar, laser and computers to sense objects and determine if they are in the car's way, said Mike Harley, an analyst at Kelley Blue Book. Systems like Tesla's, which rely heavily on cameras, "aren't sophisticated enough to overcome blindness from bright or low contrast light," he said.

Harley called the death unfortunate, but said that more deaths can be expected as the autonomous technology is refined.

Shares of Tesla Motors Inc. fell $6.77, or 3.2 percent, in after-hours trading after news of the crash was released. During the trading day, the stock was up 1 percent at $212.28.

Karl Brauer, a senior analyst with Kelley Blue Book, said the accident is a huge blow to Tesla's reputation.

"They have been touting their safety and they have been touting their advanced technology," he said. "This situation flies in the face of both."

Brauer said Tesla will have to repair the damage in two ways. First, the company needs to make sure its customers understand that autopilot is meant to assist drivers, not to fully take over for them. Second, the company should update the cars' software so autopilot will turn off if it senses the driver's hands aren't on the wheel for a certain period of time. Mercedes-Benz's driver assist system is among those that require drivers' hands to be on the wheel.
