Justin Bieber was at his girlfriend, Selena Gomez's concert in Boca Raton,
Florida on Saturday night and caused quite a stir.  Once fans spotted him
standing in the wings of the stage with Sean Kingston, he had to make a quick
exit.  In an effort to throw fans off the trailer, the Biebs had tweeted earlier
in the day that he was in Canada.

Miley Cyrus has a new tattoo.  On Saturday, the 18 year old had parallel lines,
the symbol for marriage equality, with the caption "ALL LOVE is equal" written
on her finger. Cyrus also has a heart tattooed on the pinky finger, a
dreamcatcher on her side, the word "love" in her right ear, the words "Just
breathe" on her ribs and an anchor on her wrist.

Julie Pacino, the 21-year-old daughter of actor Al Pacino, was arrested on
Saturday at 1:35am in New York, on charges of driving under the influence. "She
had bloodshot, watery eyes, slurred speech and the strong smell of alcohol on
her breath," officer James Duffy told People magazine. "She admitted to drinking
three beers and smoking marijuana prior to entering the checkpoint." Julie was
arraigned on Saturday afternoon and released on her own recognizance.

Ashton Kutcher has one of those monterous, tricked out two story trailers, now
that shooting has begun on "Two and A Half Men" but not everybody is happy for
him about it.  Some of the workers there, still support Charlie and they think
that Ashton is getting over the top treatment...more than Charlie ever got.  The
massive trailer, they say, is making Kutcher come off as a diva.

Even though they have both gone to separate corners and have lawyered for a
divorce, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver were able to put it all aside
Saturday when Maria met Arnold and the family out shopping in Beverly Hills on
Arnold's birthday.

Apparently, singer, Amy Winehouse, was getting ready to adopt a 10 year old girl
from the island of St. Lucia.  The british paper, The Sun, is reporting the
girl, Dannika Augstine, and her grandmother say they met Amy during one of her
trips to the island.  Dannika says she already considered Amy her mother and
would call her mom.  Dannika's grandmother Marjorie says she spoke to Amy a few
weeks ago and that Amy planned to return to St. Lucia next month. Both of
Dannika's parents had signed off on the adoption.

NFL star, Plaxico Burress, has signed to play for the New York Jets. Plax's deal
is reportedly guarenteed for one year at $3.017 million. Burress served 20
months in prison on gun charges after he famously shot himself in the leg at a
New York City nightclub. He was released on June 6th.

One person was killed and three others were shot after a fight broke out
following a George Clinton concert in Cleveland Saturday night. According to
TMZ, Clinton performed at s the eighth annual "Unity in the Park" festival, a
free, day-long music event.  Police say four people suffered bullet wounds after
someone opened fire in the crowd. A 16-year-old was shot in the head, a
20-year-old was shot in the neck, and a 14 and 23-year-old were shot in the leg.
They were all transported to a local hospital for injuries. Police would not say
which of the four shooting victims died. No arrests have been made.

William Baldwin will be guest starring in several episodes of "Hawaii Five-0"
this season.  While Baldwin's character hasn't been named yet, according to
TVGuide.com, he will play a former homicide detective who was kicked off the
force for corruption. Since then, he's organized a crime wave with a team of
fellow dirty cops. Baldwin will also butt heads with his ex-partner, played by
guest star Tom Sizemore. Now as head of Internal Affairs, Sizemore's character
will stop at nothing to put his former partner behind bars. Hawaii Five-0
returns Monday, September 19th. Baldwin will first appear in the new season's
third episode.

Comedian, Jerry Lewis, took to the stage during the Television Critics
Association press tour and, instead of talking about his Encore special "The
Method to the Madness of Jerry Lewis", he spent his time complaining about
American Idol. "The kids who are on American Idol, they're all McDonald's
wipeouts," Jerry whined. "They've all been dumped. They've worked there and now
they're doing that. And of course they all play a guitar, which takes the place
of music."
