At around 4 a.m., Justin Bieber was arrested for driving under the influence and drag racing in Miami; according to a Miami Beach spokesman, Bieber “showed symptoms of someone being under the influence of drugs or alcohol” and failed a field sobriety test. TMZ reports that he was also charged with resisting arrest and driving on an expired license. He’s currently in custody, and he’s expected to be booked later this morning.
This has been an exceptionally troubling month for Bieber, who was already in trouble with the law for allegedly causing $20,000 in damages to his neighbor’s house by pelting it with eggs (no one knows how he managed that). When cops raiding his house after the egging, they found what was believed to be cocaine. And, finally, rumors have also come out that the singer is addicted to sizzurp and that his team is urging him to go to rehab.
Let’s hope that this arrest serves as a massive wake-up call (I don’t know how it couldn’t — what he did was so, so dangerous) and that Bieber gets the help he needs. [NY Daily News, TMZ]
Lorde spoke to Rolling Stone about a lot of things, one of which was the way nasty and horrible teens were cyber-bullying her boyfriend James Lowe. Although she originally tried to dismiss the malicious peanut gallery as “the type of people who use the world f——t as an insult” (the worst and most base type of person), she notes that she’s not “completely impervious to insult. I’m a human being.” FUCKED-UP TEENS ON TWITTER: REMEMBER THAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE HUMANS. HOW HARD IS THAT TO MANAGE? [Us]
