Bieber cancels Portugal show

Canadian pop star Justin Bieber has canceled a concert scheduled Tuesday in Portugal because of unspecified "unforeseen circumstances." Portuguese promoter, Everything is New, posted a statement on its website saying the show had been scrapped, E! News reported. It said the concert was called off "due to unforeseen circumstances." No other details were immediately offered. Bieber's Monday night show in Portugal was expected to go on as planned. The 19-year-old singer was criticized last week for starting a show in London 2 hours late. The following night, he collapsed backstage at a concert, complaining of breathing problems. Bieber wrapped up the week by swearing at and threatening to beat up a pesky paparazzo waiting outside his hotel.


Hasselbeck not leaving 'The View'

Barbara Walters said on Monday's edition of "The View" neither she nor co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck are leaving the New York chat show. "View" panelist Joy Behar announced last week she is leaving the program after 16 1/2 years to pursue other projects. The announcement sparked subsequent reports saying Walters intends to retire from the show at the end of this season and Hasselbeck's contract won't be renewed for another season because audience members don't like her conservative views. However, Walters emphasized Monday neither she nor Hasselbeck have any plans to leave the show.

One Direction pulls tattoo request

One Direction representatives said the band has been forced to delete a social media request for fans to submit footage of their "real tattoos" of the group. Those that submitted the footage would have a chance of appearing in the band's upcoming film, Sky News reported. The band tweeted: "Have a real #1D tattoo? Show us! Submit a 90 sec YouTube video to 1d3dfan@gmail.com and show us why you should be in the @1D3Dmovie!" "This tweet was posted in error and has now been removed. One Direction do not want to encourage any of their fans to get 1D tattoos." Many objected to the request, which was posted on Facebook and Twitter, as many that follow the band are under the age of 18. "Okay One Direction, I love you guys to pieces I really do, but promoting young girls to get a tattoo?," Julia Zwagerman, a Facebook fan of the group, said of the request. Some members of the band have recently begun displaying hipster tattoos on their bodies, Sky News reported.
