Justin Bieber begins his perp walk in Toronto.

Another day, another brush with the law for troubled Canadian pop star Justin Bieber.  As it turns out, being a millionaire since age 15 and being coddled by a legion of publicists, producers, bodyguards, enablers, and hangers-on isn’t really good for personal development.  First he eggs a neighbor’s house, then he goes out drag-racing while intoxicated, and now this.  Justin Bieber has been charged with assault.  Bieber allegedly assaulted a limo driver on December 30 in Toronto, after an altercation with the man on the way back to his hotel.  Bieber apparently struck the driver repeatedly in the back of the head.  The driver got out and called the police, but Bieber was able to make his escape before cops arrived.

“As the matter is now before the court, it would be inappropriate to address the specifics of either the allegation or of the defense at this time,” said a member of Bieber’s Canadian legal team.

Bieber turned himself into the police in Toronto on Wednesday; apparently also on Wednesday, he plead not guilty to his charges of driving under the influence, resisting arrest, and driving on an expired license.  He’ll be back in court on February 14 to face those charges, which would probably put a crimp on any Valentine’s Day plans he might have had.  Not that he’d be able to get a limo to drive him around to those events after he beat on the last limo driver he booked.

Bieber’s attorneys believe that the incident will be dubbed a summary offense, which is the Canadian equivalent to what we would call a misdemeanor here in the United States.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
