Justin Bieber's Manager Off The Hook For Mall-Stampede Charges

Justin Bieber's manager Scott "Scooter" Braun is off the hook for the charges of reckless endangerment and criminal nuisance he received after the chaotic incident with Bieber fans at a Long Island mall in November 2009.

According to E! News, the charges against Braun were dropped Friday (May 6) after Bieber agreed to make a public-service announcement for an anti-cyberbullying campaign and his record label, Island Def Jam, pleaded guilty to the ordinance violation and agreed to reimburse the county almost $8,000 to pay its share of the costs associated with the law enforcement and fire marshal response after the melee.

All this stems from a Bieber mall appearance that turned into a stampede and injured one fan. Police alleged that Braun failed to properly control the situation at Roosevelt Field Mall in Long Island, New York, when they ordered him to send a message to Bieber's fans via Twitter to notify his followers that the event was canceled.

Fans of the rising teen superstar were waiting for Bieber to arrive at the mall, where he was set to perform selections from his EP, My World, which had been released earlier in the week.

Braun refused to send the message, police said. Instead, authorities contend Braun eschewed safety in favor of publicity. As things got out of hand, police said, Bieber's Twitter still read, "On my way to Roosevelt Field Mall in Long Island, NY to sign and meet fans! I'm pumped. See u there."

After a representative from the singer's label was arrested, a message from Bieber's Twitter was sent urging fans to go home. "The event at Roosevelt Mall is cancelled," he tweeted. "Please go home. The police have already arrested one person from my camp. I don't want anyone hurt."

Obama?s Grandmother Threat is Latest Revenge Tactic

The Obama grandmother threat was issued by an Al Qaeda linked group called Al Shabaab, causing officials to provide her with additional security. The woman in question is actually his step-grandmother Sarah Obama, who lives in Kenya. Reports state that the need for security had already been re-evaluated following Bin Laden?s death, but that Kenyan officials will provide even more. Most observers note that such threats are just a matter of rhetoric and don?t usually amount to anything. In fact, the threat is just one of many issued by Al Qaeda and its affiliates since the news broke that Bin Laden was killed. Nonetheless, they are apparently not taking it lightly. If you check out the video below, I think you?ll agree that this lady is probably not scared in the slightest by these guys. She looks like the kind of woman who doesn?t mess around. In fact, she had this to say: “My life has not been affected in any way?It has not restricted my movement. If the government has decided to bring more security personnel, we are OK with it.” Normally this site is dedicated to entertainment news, but I couldn?t resist. As if we needed any more [...]

Soulja Boy Tell'em got the juice now. After the "Crank That" rapper announced that he would be remaking the 1992 film "Juice" and playing Bishop — the role that turned rapper Tupac Shakur into a movie star — some fans were up in arms.

Well, on Wednesday (May 11), Soulja Boy appeared on MTV's "RapFix Live" and told Sway that he was also asked to audition for the role of Shakur in the upcoming Antoine Fuqua-directed Tupac biopic.+

"I got an email from William Morris Agency — that's my agency that I'm with — they reached out to me to play the part. I'm just still thinking about it right now," Soulja told Sway. "Even with the whole 'Juice' movie, I'm playing a part that Tupac played, but I'm not actually playin' 'Pac. When it comes to this, I'm actually gonna be playin' 'Pac, so I'm really still just thinkin' about it. But I'm just honored that they would reach out to me and ask me anyway."

While he is still mulling over the audition invite, Soulja is excited about his remake of "Juice." The film is an accompaniment to his Juice mixtape, which dropped April 20. Soulja said he has already wrapped shooting, and fans will be able to see the film later this year.

"I shot the movie. It's done. We did a good job. It's gonna be crazy," SB said. "I'm ready for the masses to see it. I got the 'Juice' music video coming out for the official soundtrack for all the people to hype 'em up, to get everybody crunk."

Should Soulja Boy play Tupac in the late rapper's upcoming biopic? Let us know in the comments.
