Justin Bieber graduates from high school and makes us all feel ancient

Wow, so this has made us feel old. Old and unsuccessful. 18-year-old Justin Bieber has just graduated from high school. And in case you didn't realise, he's already the most famous and successful teenager on the planet.
The high school graduate said of his whopping achievement, "I just finished high school. I passed my test - I'm free! It was hard work doing school and work every day."
No kidding. Apparently he carried on with his school work even though he could technically afford to go and live in a solid gold castle throwing solid gold rocks on unwanted visitors for the rest of his life. Why bother? Well, because his mum (or mom), Pattie Mallette, wanted him to have a "back up plan".
ISN'T WORLD DOMINATION ENOUGH FOR YOU, PATTIE?

 

Biebs said, "School was something my mom really wanted me to do, so I had to do it for her.
"I mean, this kind of lifestyle has given me a different perspective on life. I've been able to travel the world. At school, usually you have to do a lot of writing and reading. I'm really not into that stuff. I like to be out there!"
Let's recap: "at school usually you have to do a lot of writing and reading. I'm really not into that stuff." Yet he still managed to work hard enough at all his school stuff while being an internationally successful pop star. We feel a bit depressed, we'll be honest.
He just performed his new single Girlfriend on the final of the US version of The Voice and apparently it went down a storm. As it would - he's a consummate professional even though he's only 18.
Do you want to know what we've achieved today? We just managed to whistle the entire EastEnders theme tune without taking a breath.
We're absolutely thrilled that we went to school. 

 

Rihanna: Is this the weirdest Rihanna Twitpic yet?

Rihanna has become infamous for her Twitpics and Instagram uploads. Ever since she posted a picture of herself sitting on her bodyguard's shoulders playing with some white powder on his head while at Coachella, everyone's been waiting like slavering gossip hounds for the next snap.
And then this morning she uploaded this one. When someone asked where she's been as "You been quiet all day", Rihanna replied with this picture of her arm with an IV attached - with no other comment or caption.
It's definitely her arm because we recognise the elaborate nail painting job that she got before attending the Met Gala on Monday night. Rihanna's manicure meant she was late to the shindig and missed her slot on the red carpet - leaving Vogue editor Anna Wintour livid.

A few hours after posting the IV picture she uploaded a pic of herself standing by a plane with the caption, "My ride home NY days LA nights #itwuzreal" so she's obviously not in hospital - or at least not anymore.

This isn't the first time the 23-year-old singer has posted a picture of herself with an IV attached to her arm though. In November last year she tweeted an almost identical picture after being hospitalised with severe exhaustion.
She was forced to cancel a show in Sweden and tweeted, "I am sorry to eevryone who was coming out to my show in Malmo, Sweden. I was so excited to perform for you all.
"It would have been a great time...so much better than being sick with the flu. Ugh! I'm really disappointed I couldn't be there."
Is she exhausted again? It wouldn't surprise us - the girl never stops. She makes Simon Cowell look like a bum.And then, even after having a drip in her arm she had to get straight onto a plane. Even though it was clearly a private jet we're pretty sure flying around with an IV stuck to your arm isn't much fun. And even if she'd just taken it out the thought of it having been in there is enough to make us want to do a little sick in our mouths.

Still, sitting on a private plane must be better than sitting in economy. The last flight we got we shared our seat with a woman with trench foot.
