“Lets go do a show in Brazil,” Bieber’s manager said. “It will be so relaxing,” he said. Well, after what has been a very hectic week in Brazil, it doesn’t look like JB will be going back any time soon. First, he attempts to leave a brothel under a bed sheet, but gets caught anyway. And now this. It feels as if, by some divine mercy, some sort of deity has heard the worlds’ anti-Bieber sentiments,and has answered them oh so swiftly.
Woah-hoh! Looks like Bieber has grown up somewhat and is developing a taste for expensive women.

Violent protests flared up in Indonesia and Brazil yesterday for remarkably similar reasons. Hundreds of thousands of people in Brazil are protesting over an increase in bus fares.

Oh. I’m going to be sick into my mouth. This is what the most perversely masochistic nightmares are made of.

Paris Hilton is now a DJ, and booked (bought?) herself a set during the Pop Music Festival in Brazil. But it turns out she’s not quite “there” yet.

I think it’s time to start scouting out high ground and keeping a shotgun close by. The signs of the Zombie Apocalypse are drawing ever closer, friends. First we had the Miami Cannibal, and now we have the dead waking up in South America. Ready yourselves, it’s coming.
Alesandro Barbosa is one crazy dude! Currently serving a prison sentence relating to firearms offenses and drug trafficking, this guy also throws the best parties in jail. But prison authorities have been left red-faced after Barbosa loaded some party pics onto Facebook. They contain kegs of Heineken, boom-boxes, a flat-screen TV and prostitutes. Check out some pics after the jump!
