HollywoodNews.com: Fans always seem to get upset when Justin Bieber changes his hair a little, so they may be causing an uproar as he has apparently dyed his hair completely brown.
Bieber was spotted leaving a friend’s place in the Sherman Oaks, California area when his hair appeared to be a little bit darker than normal, states UsMagazine.com. It seems Bieber has decided to become a brunette as he gets ready to turn 18 years old in March this year.
Bieber’s fans first went crazy as he started cutting his trademark hair a little shorter, so they will surely have something to say about this new look.
Do you like his hair better now or when he was younger?
Victoria Beckham and Harper just took a break from their Bali holiday to do something remarkable | HELLO!
The Beckhams have been enjoying a sun-drenched holiday in Bali but earlier this week the famous family took a break from their downtime to do something truly charitable. Victoria has shared photos and videos of the family spending the day at the Sumba Foundation – an organisation that helps the most underprivileged children access clean water, education and general healthcare on Sumba island, Indonesia.
Victoria's posts showed her husband David and their four children Brooklyn, 19, Romeo, 15, Cruz, 13, and seven-year-old Harper playing with the local kids and teaching them English. One sweet video was of Cruz and Harper saying aloud phrases while a group of young children copied them. Another clip showed Harper playing clapping games with a little girl, while more footage showed retired footballer David throwing a ball around and doing some sporty drills with the kids.
"Special day with the inspiring students in Sumba. We loved hanging out helping to teach English and play games! @nihisumba @sumbafoundation X," Victoria wrote on Instagram. The former Spice Girl, who is an International Goodwill Ambassador for UNAIDS as well as a supporter of Save the Children, went low-key for the visit, wearing a T-shirt, shorts and a baseball cap.
Alongside another photo of Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper posing with a group of students, she wrote: "Inspiring day spending time as a family with the teachers and happy students @nihisumba@sumbafoundation X VB." Her fans inundated her with compliments, with one writing: "So inspirational, beautiful family it's all down to you Victoria and David raising your children with love and values." "Such a humble thing to do," another remarked.
The Beckhams have spent the past couple of weeks in Indonesia, soaking up the sun in Bali and staying in a plush private resort. The family have been documenting their many activities on social media, which have included splashing about in their infinity pool and taking part in local cookery courses, but their latest visit to the Foundation showed that charity is never far from their minds. They have made the most of the children's school holidays, visiting Montenegro and Los Angeles, where they have a second home, earlier this summer.
Victoria Beckham returns to London with Harper following LA holiday – but where is David?

Other exchanges quickly started routing orders away from the exchange, including BATS's own, smaller stock-trading venue. At 1:15 p.m., BATS said that its was no longer accepting orders on BZX until trading ultimately resumed at 2 p.m.
"We had an internal network issue, not a software issue, which caused trading on BATS BZX Exchange to cease for 50 minutes today," said BATS spokesman Randy Williams. "All systems were fully operational for the remainder of the trading day."
An hour later, a separate trading issue cropped up on the main exchange run by BATS's rival Direct Edge. At 3 p.m., Direct Edge sent an alert notifying traders that its prime exchange was having trouble processing and trading a narrow swath of stocks with ticker symbols between the letters SPYV and TNC, canceling trades within that range. Direct Edge said in a separate alert that the issue was resolved less than 10 minutes later….
"These exchanges are interconnected, but independent," said Larry Tabb, founder and chief executive of independent researcher Tabb Group. "When one shuts down, order flow transitions pretty seamlessly from one to the other."
Iran has been lukewarm on the offer, drawing suspicions that it was merely using the proposal to stall for time.
Germany's foreign minister has urged Iran to accept Russia's proposal to host Tehran's uranium enrichment programme, saying thatthe compromise could help end the nuclear programme standoff.
Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier made the appeal in Seoul after talks with his South Korean counterpart Ban Ki-moon a day before Iran enters into talks with Russia on the proposal.
"We hope Iran understands that Russia's proposal can solve and ultimately end this problem," Steinmeier told a joint news conference.
The plan to let Iran enrich uranium on Russian soil has been backed by the US and the European Union as a way to provide international oversight of Iran's nuclear activities.
However, Iran has been lukewarm on the offer, drawing suspicions that it was merely using the proposal to stall for time.
The Security Council is expected to consider taking steps against the country, including possible sanctions and other punitive measures, after the Vienna-based IAEA issues another report on Iran at a March 6 meeting of its 35-nation Board of Governors.
Ban Ki-moon also expressed "serious concern" over Iran's nuclear programme.
"We agreed that Iran should show a sincere attitude on this issue," he said.
Meanwhile, Steinmeier urged North Korea to end its boycott of six-nation talks on ending its nuclear programme.
Chelsea went top of the Premier League on goal difference after beating Cardiff City 4-1 on Saturday and maintaining their 100 percent record. Liverpool kept pace with the Blues with a 2-1 against Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley Stadium.
There were also notable away wins for Manchester United and Arsenal. The former ended Watford's winning run with a 2-1 victory at Vicarage Road, while the Gunners beat Newcastle United by the same score at St James' Park.
Chelsea tore through Cardiff thanks to an inspired performance from Eden Hazard. The No. 10 helped himself to a hat-trick after the Bluebirds took a shock early lead through Sol Bamba.
Substitute Willian won the penalty Hazard converted and hammered in Chelsea's fourth to underline the depth of attacking quality in manager Maurizio Sarri's squad.
Chelsea have the goalscorers to power a title push, an attribute shared by Liverpool. The Reds poured the pressure on against Spurs but had the hosts' backup goalkeeper, Michel Vorm, to thank for both goals.
He was at fault for Georginio Wijnaldum's opener six minutes before the break and saw the ball just evade his grasp before Roberto Firmino tapped the Reds into a 2-0 lead.
Erik Lamela pulled one back for Tottenham in injury time, but Liverpool maintained a 100 percent start to the season and continue to look capable of a title challenge.
Arsenal don't belong in the same bracket yet despite a third win in a row. It took much-maligned midfielder Granit Xhaka to break the deadlock for head coach Unai Emery's side following a goalless first half.
The points looked safe when Mesut Ozil, another player often the subject of criticism, turned in a second two minutes before the hour mark in his 200th appearance for the Gunners.
"Some see laziness, apathy, disinterest in the 29-year-old's game; a living embodiment of the nonchalance that was allowed to set in during the dog days of Arsene Wenger's regime."
"Others – however – saw and continue to see genius. And simply put Ozil is the kind of player who can set Arsenal apart. On a special day for him, he did just that."
But the visitors didn't the buckle, not even when Nemanja Matic was shown a red card in stoppage time. It's a welcome three points for United manager Jose Mourinho, who appears to have steadied the ship after losing to Brighton & Hove Albion and Spurs.
Another City win may be no surprise, but Bournemouth will have shocked a few by sitting on the edge of the top four. The Cherries built a four-goal lead against Leicester City at the Vitality Stadium thanks to a brace from Ryan Fraser, a Joshua King penalty and a finish from Adam Smith.
Leicester went down to 10 men when Wes Morgan was sent off on 69 minutes, but they scored twice in consolation in the last five minutes through James Maddison's penalty and Marc Albrighton.
Finally, Crystal Palace moved into the top half after Wilfried Zaha scored the only goal to heap more misery on Huddersfield Town. Like Cardiff, the Terriers already find themselves on the edge of the bottom three and without a win.
Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, and his wife, Bolanle, are among the dignitaries expected to grace Evangelist Dunno Olanrewaju’s Opelope Anointing Foundation’s anniversary in Epe, Lagos, on July 6 and 7.
Olanrewaju plans to mark the eighth year of her foundation in a big way.
Other dignitaries that will be present at the Epe town hall, Ita Opo, include the Deputy Governor of Osun State, Mrs. Titi Tomori; Elder Akin Ognbiyi; Idowu Philips, aka Mama Rainbow; Pastor Taiwo Idris; Bishop Rachael Ibironke and Prophet Caleb Olulade.
The two-day event will also feature the inauguration of the Opelope Anointing Fans Club, Epe chapter, on July 6.
Speaking with journalists recently, the gospel singer said that gospel musicians such as Evangelist Esther Igbekele, Biyi Samuel and Seyi Lewis would perform at the event.
She stated, “The highpoint of the event will be the charity programme where the people of Epe will get free healthcare services, free drugs and eye test, free glasses and windows. More support will be extended to the underprivileged.
Rembrandt's 'Night Watch' Painting Vandalized : Artwork: Jobless Dutchman sprays chemical on painting; damage reported minimal.
An unemployed man, described by police as confused, sprayed Rembrandt's famous painting "The Night Watch" with an unidentified chemical today, but museum officials said damage was minimal.
It was the second attack on the priceless artwork in nearly 15 years, and the third this century.
Dutch Television said the spray was concentrated sulfuric acid, but museum officials would not confirm the report.
Immediately after the attack, a museum guard applied a neutralizing agent, and the damage to the 1642 masterpiece appeared limited to surface veneer, Rijksmuseum spokesman Piet van Thiel said.
Museum guards seized the attacker and handed him over to police. The painting is guarded around the clock by an unarmed security company worker.
Police said they do not know what prompted the attack.
Spokesman Klaas Wilting said the 31-year-old suspect is a Dutch national from The Hague. The man, not identified by name in line with police policy, is being held on suspicion of vandalism.
"He is confused and not telling us anything at the moment," Wilting said shortly after the attack.
Barry Olshen of Toronto, Canada, said he was standing among a group of museum visitors and right next to the man, who was wearing a long, hooded tan coat. The vandal pushed his way through the crowd to a steel barrier about two yards in front of the painting.
Suddenly he took a "little spray pump he had been concealing in his hand" and sprayed the painting, Olshen said.
The chemical dripped over an area of almost a square yard, covering it in white splotches.
Van Thiel said the painting will be taken to a secret location for restoration but will probably be on display in about two weeks.
The painting has been under permanent guard since 1979, when it was put back on display after a four-year restoration period that followed a knife attack Sept. 14, 1975. A Dutch schoolmaster claiming to be on a divine mission made several deep slashes in "The Night Watch." He was never tried but committed to a mental asylum, where he later committed suicide.
During World War I, an unemployed shoemaker made several knife slashes in the artwork to protest his inability to find work.
"The Night Watch" measures 12 feet by 14.5 feet and shows a gathering of 17th-Century militiamen. It is believed to commemorate celebrations surrounding the 1638 visit to the Dutch capital by French Queen Maria de Medici.
The museum has never placed a value on "The Night Watch," which is not insured, in line with Culture Ministry policy.
Ken Funston, Advocacy Manager at the South East Fermanagh Foundation. His brother was killled by the IRA.
A representative of a Northern Ireland terror victims group says he hopes Spain did not do secret deals with ETA as Tony Blair did with the IRA.
Ken Funston, advocacy manager with the South East Fermanagh Foundation (SEFF) said ETA have negotiated for some time “to gain the maximum reward for disarming”.
“The Spanish prime minister, Mariano Rajoy has rejected that any concessions have been made to ETA, in the same way that Tony Blair did in the late 1990s,” he said.
“Blair had already made far-reaching overt concessions, but we were to find out many years later he had made many more secret deals with the terrorists, which have only have become recently apparent.
He noted that ETA-connected Basque leader Arnaldo Otegi, “is a close ally and friend of Sinn Fein, who had representatives attend Otegi’s recent release from prison”.
He added: “ETA’s strategy mirrors that of the IRA and they’ve been advised accordingly throughout their process with the Spanish government.
“We can only hope that for the over 800 victims of ETA terrorism, the Spanish stick to their word.
Adrianna Vargas from Brighton, Colo. becomes the fifth player to sign on with the Plainswomen soccer team. Vargas, a Prairie View High School athlete, will join the Plainswomen in the 2019 season to play the center-midfield position.
As a prep, she was named East Metro Athletic Conference All-Conference Honorable Mention in 2016 and 2017. This past year, she helped lead her team to a 13-2-1 record and a berth in the 5A State Playoffs. Off the field, Vargas has excelled as well, being named Academic All-State First Team as well as Principal's Honor Roll in 2017 and 2018.
Head coach Ken McAlpine commented, "Adrianna has a calm presence in the midfield with the ball at her feet, and I believe her skill set will fit in to how we are looking to play next season. She excels in the classroom as well, and we are very happy to be adding another well-rounded student-athlete to the program."

Medicines prescribed to reduce the symptoms of prostate disease have been linked to an increased likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes.
A new study looked at health records from around 55,000 UK men who had been prescribed 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors over an 11-year period.
A team led by the University of Edinburgh and UCL found the drugs were linked to an increase in the risk of developing type 2 diabetes of about one third.
It follows previous short-term studies which suggested the drugs, which include finasteride and dutasteride, might affect metabolism and could reduce the body’s response to insulin - an early sign of type 2 diabetes.
Men with enlarged prostates are commonly prescribed 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors that reduce the production of hormones called androgens.
They help treat symptoms such as reduced urinary flow.
The study authors stressed patients should continue taking the drugs, but said they may need extra health checks.
The findings suggest that in a population of 500 men on the treatment for 20 years, 16 extra cases of diabetes are likely to develop.
A similar effect was seen when the team repeated the study with health records from a group of Taiwanese men.
Prof Ruth Andrew, from the British Heart Foundation Centre for Cardiovascular Science at Edinburgh University, said: “These findings will be particularly important for health screening in older men who are already typically at a higher risk of type 2 diabetes.
Laurence Stewart, consultant urologist at Spire Murrayfield Hospital, said: “These findings should not be a major concern for men taking 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor medications.
“As doctors, we may need to review the way we monitor our patients to make sure we are extra vigilant for early signs of diabetes.
The research was published in the British Medical Journal and was funded by the Edinburgh and Lothians Health Foundation.
Researchers from the Universities of Dundee and Newcastle and National Cheng Kung University in Taiwan also contributed to the study.
Rob Gronkowski may be a multi-millionaire, but he certainly still acts like a college frat boy.
This weekend, Gronkowski attended a charity event for Children's Hospital in Boston and apparently took his shirt off and poured drinks on women, according to Shot of Ginn.
"I spoke (tweeted) with someone with knowledge of the situation, she stated that a friend had introduced the girl to Gronkowski, to which Rob allegedly looked her up and down and then proceeded to dump his Jack and Coke on her."
Textingly has scored the NJ Nets as its first big customer. The NY based startup launched as part of TechCrunch Disrupt last May. Erick Schonfeld reports the deal raised $400,000, more than half of the $750,000 goal in Textingly’s seed round.
The Nets will be using Textingly to manage trivia games and ticket giveaways that fans can play by mobile phone. Textingly layers some fairly standard ideas on top of this: fans can accumulate points and collect rewards, different messages and prizes are available in different areas, and users can scan through the messages left by other fans.
