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.

Return to Sin City: The Tiger is back on the prowl as fallen golf ace Woods parties with bikini babes at a Las Vegas pool party

He's kept a fairly low profile and kept his personal life under wraps ever since his multiple infidelities hit the headlines.
But last week, Tiger Woods surrounded himself with temptation once again as he partied in Las Vegas - the city which became the epicenter of his adultery a few years ago.
The fallen golf ace was snapped in a private cabana at the Liquid pool party at the city's Aria Hotel.

Back to the scene of the crime: Tiger Woods was snapped in a poolside cabana in Las Vegas - the city which sparked his multiple affairs - as he relaxed with friends as a party

The shot, obtained by tmz.com, shows Woods, 36, with his baseball cap on backwards as he clutched his phone.
Flanked by bodyguards, he made a very low key entrance through the back and hung out in the private area chatting and joking with friends.
But according to onlookers, he was the centre of attention with many of the bikini-clad beauties at the party, who began 'fighting to get his attention'.
A source told The New York Post: 'There was a frenzy... many girls were trying to get up to his cabana, but were unsuccessful.'
So it would appear that Woods has curbed his womanising ways as the source added that he was 'more interested in the people he was with'.
Woods was actually in the city for his annual Tiger Jam concert which raises money for his foundation which helps disadvantaged children in the US.
Headline this year's event was Jon Bon Jovi who was snapped with the sportsman backstage.

Split: Tiger with his then wife Erin Nordegren in 2006 - she divorced him in 2010 after he admitted to a string of affairs

And Tiger told those attending: 'Jon has done a lot for our foundation. We are thankful to him and to you all for your support.'
Las Vegas played a huge role in Tiger's infidelities, which came to light in 2009.
In November that year, it was revealed that he had cheated on his wife Erin Nordegren with club hostess Rachel Uchitel and in the month that followed, dozens of other women came forward claiming they too had had sex with him.

The first lady: Rachel Uchitel initially denied her affair with Woods

He then reportedly confessed to sleeping with more than 120 women as he sought treatment for sex addiction.
In February 2010 - six months before Erin divorced him - Tiger held a press conference during which he apologised for his actions and said: 'I’m deeply sorry for my irresponsible and selfish behaviour. I was unfaithful. I had affairs. I cheated.
I knew my actions were wrong but I convinced myself that normal rules did not apply. I thought I could get away with whatever I wanted to. I was wrong. I was foolish.'

Forgive me: Tiger is comforted by his mother Kultida after his televised confession

From heaven to Hull: Family kicked out of Bermuda after 20 years as UK overseas territory clamps down on immigrants from Britain

A British family who lived in the overseas territory of Bermuda for 20 years were ordered to leave because its government is clamping down on immigrants from the UK.
Stephen and Kirsty Tomlinson and their two children were given barely a month to get off the North Atlantic island after his workplace burned down.
Now the couple have swapped sandy beaches and sunshine for concrete and drizzle after returning to Mr Tomlinson’s home town of Hull, east Yorkshire.
They were ordered to leave despite their daughter Holly, 12 and son Joseph, six, being born in Bermuda, a British overseas territory in the North Atlantic.

Dream over: Stephen Tomlinson, with his wife Kirsty and children Holly, 12, and and Joseph, six, near their new home in Hull. The couple were ordered leave Bermuda last month after Mr Tomlinson's business burned down

Mr Tomlinson had worked as a spray painter, while his 41-year-old wife ran a beauty therapy business and had clients including Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas.
Mr Tomlinson, 45, said: ‘My daughter is crying herself to sleep at night and the kids ask ‘When are we going home, Daddy?’

GOVERNMENT STRAINING AGAINST PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR UK RULE

Bermuda is the oldest of Britain's Overseas Territories. Its Parliament first met in 1620, making it the oldest Commonwealth legislature outside the British Isles.
Though Bermuda exercises a great deal of autonomy over its own affairs, the UK Government remains responsible for its external relations, defence and internal security.
The question remains of whether the territory should cut its links with Britain, but the last time a referendum was held - in 1995 - only a quarter of the 58 per cent turnout voted for independence.
Its current government, led by premier Paula Cox and her Progressive Labour Party, is in favour of independence - but the most recent opinion polls have consistently shown large majorities against it.

‘I don’t understand how they could do this to us after we’d been there so long. We had to sell all our belongings and get out, despite having worked hard and paid our way.’
Stephen had friends fight for their right to stay but the Bermudan Government refused to be swayed.
He fears more ex-pats could be ordered to leave Bermuda as its government tightens up immigration and has called on the Foreign Office to intervene .
While Bermuda has granted permanent residency to Britons living on the island since 1989, the couple missed the cut-off point by just two years.
In 2010, the Government announced it would make it harder to gain and renew work permits in a bid to boost employment among citizens of the island.
Only highly-trained foreigners with particular skills are being granted work permits. Painters and beauticians are among occupations that are among those professions that are 'proscribed'.
The territory has even provided tax relief to those firms who employ previously jobless Bermudans, who accuse British and other immigrants of marginalising them.
The Foreign Office says it is unable to stop the island’s Government forcing Britons to give up their jobs and sending them back to the UK.
Mr Tomlinson said: ‘There are still people from Hull out there and more Britons will be sent home. You build a life up only to get kicked out.'

Happier times: The Tomlinsons and their children playing on the beach near their former home in Bermuda

He was 24 when he moved to the group of islands in the North Atlantic Ocean from Garden Village in east Hull in 1991.
He met Kirsty, of Goole, who was also on a work permit and the two later married.
Mrs Tomlinson said: ‘Stephen’s heart was in Bermuda and it is a lovely country.
‘My roots are in England and I class it as my home but I’ve learnt so much on the island.’
The couple’s dream life came crashing down when Stephen’s place of work burnt to the ground last year.
Mr Tomlinson said: ‘We were all made redundant but the local paper ran a story saying people were prepared to help us find work.
‘Luckily, I still had job offer and I decided to take work at a Mercedes dealership.I applied for my annual work permit and it was declined.
‘We didn’t know what to do and everyone said it would be sorted but it wasn’t.’
Stephen was sent a letter from the Department of Immigration, which advised him to settle his affairs, giving him a deadline of less than a month to leave the island.
The letter stated: ‘The Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry, after having reviewed the request, has refused the application.
'You are now being advised to settle your affairs, together with your family and leave Bermuda.’
The family are being backed by Conservative MP Andrew Percy, who is vowing to take their case to ministers.
However, they know it is very unlikely they will be able to return.
Mr Percy said: ‘Although Bermuda is a British colony, it has control over its own immigration system.
‘It’s completely unjust that the Tomlinson family should be cheated in this way when they have lived there for so long. I will do everything I can to help them.’
