Justin Bieber in Laser Tag Skirmish...
Not everyone is game with pop's wonder boy, especially when there's
laser tag involved.
Barely a month after a water balloon-chucking altercation piqued
the attention of Maryland police, Justin Bieber had another brush
with the law, this time in his homeland at a laser tag arcade.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police are investigating reports that
a 12-year-old boy was punched in the face by Justin, 16, while
playing laser tag in Richmond, British Columbia.
According to a statement by police about the assault allegations,
the boy sustained minimal injuries and did not require medical
attention at the time of the incident.
But Justin supporters are coming to the pop sensation's defense,
saying that he was, well, just defending himself in the spirit of
the game after he found himself at the center of a full-fledged
laser tag attack.
"Like any other kid playing laser tag, he just bolted right
through the pack of kids and accidently hit one of the 12-year-
old kids around the face area," Canadian blogger Zack Taylor,
who first reported on the incident.
And perhaps there was more to the attack than laser shots:
According to reports Justin may be the latest victim of bullying,
saying the other players were taunting him with homophobic
remarks.
Staff members at the arcade told Taylor that Justin admitted to
police that he may have accidently pushed the boy while running
away, and police let him go at the time of the incident.
Police have not confirmed the identity of either boy because of
a Canadian law policy toward minors. Because the altercation is
under investigation, charges can still be filed.

These days, Alicia Keys is in a motherhood state of mind.
Alicia and her husband, Swizz "Kaseem Dean" Beatz, "joyfully
welcomed their first child," son Egypt Daoud Dean, on Oct. 14

This is the couple's first child, though Egypt "is welcomed by

"I'm so thankful for everything I been blessed with in my life."

Céline Dion Enters Hospital...
Céline Dion is preparing for the birth of her twin boys by checking
into the hospital on the advice of her physicians.
In a statement issued Monday morning, the hospital says, "Ms. Céline
Dion has been admitted to St. Mary's Medical Center in West Palm
Beach, Florida for observation at the recommendation of her doctors.
She has been admitted to prevent the early delivery of her babies,
which is the standard of care for any patient with twin pregnancy in
this clinical setting."
The statement makes clear this is a preventive measure, "done to
ensure the patient can be in close contact with their doctors and
clinical resources, leading up to their birth," it says.
Last week, Céline's husband, René Angélil, said contrary to reports,
his wife had not scheduled a C-section to deliver her twins on Oct.
22nd, nor had she made outrageous demands of the hospital.
"There is nothing scheduled," he said. "We do not have a date" for
the babies' birth.

Tyra Banks Sued by Teen Sex Addict's Mom...
Tyra's in trouble.
Tyra Banks has been sued for $3 million by the mother of a teen
sex addict.
Angry mother Beverly McClendon charges that her daughter appeared
on Tyra, the supermodel's now-defunct talk show, without her
permission.
The 15-year-old girl in question reportedly answered an online
casting call looking for teen sex addicts to talk about their
problems on the air. Tyra producers later flew her from Georgia
to New York and provided hotel lodgings, all without
McClendon's necessary consent, the lawsuit claims.
In the suit, filed in federal court Oct. 8, McClendon frets that
the episode "was undoubtedly watched by sexual deviants, perverts
and pedophiles alike," and violated her daughter's privacy.
She'd also like to prevent future airings of the controversial
episode.

T.I. sentenced to 11 months behind bars...
Rapper T.I. has been sentenced to 11 months behind bars for
violating his probation as a result of a drug arrest last
month.
The "Live Your Life" hitmaker, real name Clifford Harris, Jr.,
was taken into custody with his wife Tameka 'Tiny' Cottle after
a traffic stop in Los Angeles, and they were booked for felony
possession of a controlled substance.
T.I. was already on probation for gun charges stemming from an
arrest in 2007. He completed a prison sentence related to those
charges in December.
On Friday, the rap star was back in court in his native Atlanta,
Georgia, where he pleaded with a judge to spare him further jail
time and allow him to enroll in a drug rehabilitation program
instead.
Lawyers for the hip-hop star argued T.I. did not deserve the two-
year prison sentence suggested by prosecutors for violating the
terms of his parole, but the judge decided to revoke his
probation and lock him up again.
The court date took place one day after T.I. vowed to turn his
life around and leave his troubled ways behind him for good.
The turnaround was prompted by praise he received for helping
to talk a suicidal man down from the roof of a high-rise
building in Atlanta earlier this week.

*-*-* GUESS WHO *-*-*-
This superstar is convinced he has suffered "problems with girls"
because he will "never" find a woman "as good" as his mother...
It's Justin Timberlake...
The "SexyBack" hitmaker's previous lovers include Britney Spears,
Alyssa Milano and Cameron Diaz, and he has faced constant
speculation he's heading for a split from current girlfriend
Jessica Biel, who he has been dating since 2007.
Jessica has previously spoken out about Justin's close bond with
his mom Lynne, admitting she was "stressed" to meet her because
of their tight relationship.
And Justin has now admitted he constantly compares love interests
to his beloved mother.
He says, "We're best friends. She's a very special woman. She's
been so supportive. She's partly the reason why I have so much
respect for women. I'm never going to find someone as good as
my mother, am I? Maybe that's why I have such problems with girls."
