Justin Bieber requests female company in social media ad

Justin Bieber reportedly requested the company of eight women in an advert posted on social media.

The 22-year-old singer is believed to have invited six girls to his hotel suite to enjoy an after-party with him following his performance at the O2 Arena Prague, Czech Republic, as part of his Purpose World Tour.

And it has been reported by the MailOnline, the ‘Love Yourself’ hitmaker sourced his new female friends on Facebook, which saw a local modelling agency called Daniela post an ad asking for eight "pretty girls" to celebrate with the Canadian star at downtown Hemingway Bar after his concert.

The post read: "Eight pretty girls for a dinner and party with Justin B in Prague. It is not paid. If you’re interested, message me quickly. I will let the chosen ones know the place and the time. You need to be there in one hour, behave well and speak English!’

Although the pitch asked for eight girls, only six ladies responded to the appeal.

A video has since been shared of the blond-haired hunk, his male friend and the girls enjoying luxury beverages and snacks.

The chosen girls, who are believed to include law student Anna, Denisa, a model named Michaela and a nursery school teacher Hanka, have revealed Justin’s plea was to allow other people to have a "pleasant experience", but they said a confidentiality agreement was in place forbidding his guests from speaking about the spontaneous evening.

Anna said: "You think that he chose the girls to enjoy the night with them, but he wanted to give someone else a pleasant experience. He talked to us as a normal person would. (sic)"

And Prague airport employee and dancer Denisa has slammed rumors Justin’s meet-up was a bid to get intimate with the women.

She said: "I am taken. I do not add people to my friends who I do not know. I do not work as an escort and I do not have sex for money! So please, save your and my time and do not message me with offers like this! Thank you! (sic)."

However, it has been reported by Czech media the ‘Sorry’ singer spent part of the evening alone with one of the females who accompanied him.

Justin Bieber struggles to ‘connect’ with his fans

Justin Bieber finds it hard to "connect" to his fans.

The ‘What Do You Mean’ hitmaker admits it can be difficult to talk to his supporters when they’re "screaming and super overwhelming" but says they are "a little bit more sane" now they are older.

He said: "[My fans] start understanding how to act [as they get older]. They actually want to act a little bit more sane so that maybe they get my attention.

"Because at this point, if you’re screaming and super overwhelming, it’s hard for me to connect with you."

And Mikey Arana, Justin’s director of security, has seen a change in the way the 22-year-old singer’s fans approach the star now.

Speaking in the ‘Bodyguards: Secret Lives from the Watchtower’ documentary, he added: "As fans have grown, they’re more likely to engage Justin in a conversation than to grab him and literally rip him apart.

"I remember when I first started with him – it may sound crazy, but three, four [emotional] little girls – they have so much strength that they would literally rip his shirt, take off his hoodie. And if it’s a big crowd, you could lose him in the crowd … But as the fans have grown with him, so has their approach to be able to just come up to him and go, ‘Hey Justin, how are you?’ and engage in conversation."

Meanwhile, Justin has come under fire as of late for storming off stage after fans refused to let him speak in between songs.

He shared: "There’s going to be times where I say the wrong thing, because I’m human. But I don’t pretend to be perfect and I hope to God that, you know, I don’t say the right thing all the time because if that was the case then I’d be a robot, and I’m just, I’m not a robot.

"There’s times when I get upset … times when I get angry, there’s times when I’m going to be frustrated. But I’m always going to be myself on this stage."

Sofia Richie’s family give her advice on fame

Lionel Richie tells his daughter Sofia to "surrender to the moment" when she’s working.

The 18-year-old model is currently working with Michael Kors on the latest chapter of the designer’s ‘The Walk’ series and has said her father – and musical legend – Lionel, 67, taught her to "give 1,000 percent".

She said: "My dad’s advice is to always have fun with everything I do. And when I get to set to give 1,000 percent and surrender to the moment."

It isn’t just the ‘Hello’ hitmaker that Sofia has been receiving advice from, as 35-year-old Nicole Richie – who Lionel legally adopted in 1990 after being her guardian for six years – taught her younger sister to be "confident" and "comfortable".

Sofia added to People magazine: "Nicole has taught me to be confident within myself and comfortable at the same time. And to not let the small things get to you."

And Sofia has been using her big sister’s advice recently as she’s had to fend off being in the public eye after she enjoyed a month long romance with pop star Justin Bieber.

The pair split in September but "still communicate" as the beauty was spotted at the ‘Sorry’ hitmaker’s show in London last month.

A source said at the time: "Sofia is still kind of annoyed at how Justin handled a few things, but they still communicate. They haven’t hooked up in a minute."

Whilst another added: "They are still friends though and will continue to see each other like they did before they were dating. They are taking a backseat though on the romance side of things and just focusing on being friends at this time."

Jon Bon Jovi blasts artists who cancel concerts

Jon Bon Jovi has hit out at pop stars who cancel their gigs due to "anxiety".

The 54-year-old rocker can understand the problems of young singers like Zayn Malik, who has axed a number of gigs due to the disorder, and Justin Bieber, who walked off stage last month because he was annoyed at the screams of his audience, and does have some empathy.

However, he thinks younger artists need to appreciate the fact their fans have spent a lot of time and money on going to see them perform.

And Jon also warned the artists that their cancellations also have an impact on their own employees.

The ‘Livin’ On A Prayer’ hitmaker said: "There is a generation of anxious young men and women who are being diagnosed for the first time – and maybe it was always there.

"I get it. But let me give you a little education, motherf***er. Jane just saved up for three months to buy that ticket. She travelled on a train to get there. And she is not going to be able to get a refund for her hotel room, or her travel, or the day she took off from work, or the babysitter she paid for. And the 120 families that are affected when they didn’t get their pay check at the end of the week because you didn’t show up for the f***ing show…"

The Bon Jovi frontman also admitted his family are "resentful" of his fame and wealth, even though he showered them with generous gifts like cars, houses and holidays when he first found success.

Speaking to New Statesman magazine, Jon – who has been married to his wife Dorothea for 27 years – shared: "They didn’t get used to it. They still aren’t happy with it. They’re still resentful of it sometimes.

"They were like, ‘Of course I want it’ – then they got it and they were like, ‘I hate this f***ing house.’ ‘Really? You don’t have to stay here.’

"We weren’t the first and we’re not the last. Elvis did it 50 years ago and I’m sure that Harry Styles did it two years ago. It’s a confusing time when you become that guy and have the ability to share with your family the fruits of your labor. People think that money makes you smart. It doesn’t. It makes you rich."

Justin Bieber spends night in Glasgow

Justin Bieber has been visiting local pubs in Glasgow.

The 22-year-old singer is currently on the UK leg of his ‘Purpose World Tour’, and a two-night stint at the SSE Hydro Arena has given him plenty of time to get acquainted with the Scottish city.

So much so that instead of staying in his hotel or going to a glitzy nightclub, he chose to spend his time in quiet local pubs.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "The pubs he went to were mostly filled with older people who had no idea who he was.

"A few people recognized him and asked him for photos, which he declined, but the majority were oblivious that Justin and his crew were knocking back drinks alongside them.

"He wanted a more real experience of the city, and after asking for some advice thought some pubs and a chippy dinner would be the way to do that."

At the end of his night, the ‘Sorry’ hitmaker paid a visit to a local takeaway restaurant, where he sampled local cuisine. Alongside his chips, the star ordered the Scottish fizzy drink Irn Bru, and a portion of deep fried haggis – a traditional Scottish dish made of meat, oatmeal, onions, and spices.

Simone Varese, owner of the Blue Lagoon takeaway, said: "We are very privileged he chose us to have his Saturday night feast.

"Justin came in with a cap on and two bouncers with him. He was in good spirits and very excited about trying the local cuisine."

The news comes after the ‘Love Yourself’ singer recently splashed out a whopping $1200 at a Sheffield branch of burger restaurant Five Guys, when he treated his entire entourage to a huge order of burgers, fries, and milkshakes.

James Arthur defends Justin Bieber

James Arthur has defended Justin Bieber after he stormed off stage in Manchester, England.

The ‘Sorry’ hitmaker dropped his microphone and walked off stage during his performance on Sunday (10.23.16), as fans booed him for talking between songs and not playing his hits.

Now, the ‘Say You Won’t Let Go’ singer – who rose to fame after being crowned the winner of UK talent competition ‘The X Factor’ in 2012 – sympathises with the 22-year-old, as he says the "unfathomable" level of fame can affect people.

Speaking to the Daily Mirror newspaper, the 28-year-old singer said: "I think Justin Bieber is a really unique case.

"I feel really sorry for him because I was 25 when I found fame and I got seriously lost from just being famous in England. He has been famous since he was a kid. That level of fame is unfathomable.

"Maybe he’s past the screaming girl phase and he wants people to listen to what he has to say and not just be propped up on stage to sing songs and perform like a monkey. Maybe he’s just over how famous he is."

The news comes after a string of controversial outbursts from the ‘Love Yourself’ singer, who previously told fans to stay "as quiet as possible" whilst he was singing.

He said: "Try and stay as quiet as possible. You can scream as much as you want afterwards, but while I’m singing try and stay quiet."

Justin also blasted fans for screaming at his shows, as he finds it "obnoxious".

He was recorded telling fans: "Just try to show me you love me, in a different way. I get it. The screaming is just so obnoxious. I get it, it’s been in our blood and it’s been grand, you go to a concert and scream and stuff. But if we could just … scream after the song, enjoy the songs … the screaming is awesome, it’s fine, and then we take a chill pill for a second and we just listen to me speak. Because … I don’t feel like I’m being heard sometimes and it’s getting a little pressuring. So, if when I’m speaking you guys could not scream at the top of your lungs. Is that cool with you guys?"

Justin Bieber’s £1k burger spend

Justin Bieber splashed out nearly £1,000 at a burger restaurant this week.

The 22-year-old singer treated his entire entourage to a huge order of burgers, milkshakes and fries at the Sheffield branch of Five Guys this week ahead of show at the Sheffield Arena, South Yorkshire, on Wednesday (26.10.16) as part of his ‘Purpose World Tour’.

Justin’s huge order of calorific treats was confirmed by a Five Guys spokesperson.

The ‘Never Say Never’ hitmaker is not the only celebrity known to have a penchant for the burger chain’s offerings.

Hollywood actors Tom Hardy and Margot Robbie are big fans, as are One Direction and Sam Smith.

Ed Sheeran loves the chain so much he once dedicated a whole tweet to his 16.6 million followers about the eatery.

He wrote: "Five Guys above everything (sic)."

Pop superstar Adele is also a massive fan and earlier this year she stopped her own concert at London’s O2 Arena in March to proclaim she had an urge to gobble some grub from the fast-food joint.

Adele also likes to indulge in burgers to treat herself from time to time.

Following her performance at the Grammy Awards which was plagued with sound problems, the ‘All I Ask’ hitmaker took to Twitter to reveal one issue was because the piano microphones fell onto the piano strings making the song sound "out of tune".

As a result, she decided to have a burger to get over the problem.

The Vamps are also known to be big fans of Five Guys, as are Michelin Star chefs Heston Blumenthal and Marcus Wareing.

Justin Bieber renting 4.75m mansion

Justin Bieber is renting a £4.75m ($5.8m) mansion in the North of England.

The 22-year-old singer has leased the £17,000-a-month palatial pad to stay in while performing in Manchester and Sheffield on his ‘Purpose’ world tour.

According to the Daily Mail newspaper, the house has seven bedrooms and features a helipad, soccer pitch, indoor sports hall, indoor swimming pool and gym.

It also has a wine cellar and an outdoor adventure area with a zip-wire.

However, Justin’s tour dates in Manchester have been controversial as the star has lashed out at his audience on two separate dates.

Over the weekend he stormed off stage after being booed by the crowd as he spoke to them between songs, because they wanted him to get on with singing his hits.

However, he soon returned and said: "Manc can’t handle the talking so I won’t talk."

Justin explained his tantrum at the end of the concert, before he played ‘Baby’.

He said: "The reason why I was getting upset earlier was because I travelled across the whole world to come here and I dedicate my life to performing and bring smiles to people’s faces.

"I feel that people were just not giving me the same respect back and it hurts a little bit so that’s why. But we’re gonna end it on this last song… ‘Baby’."

And last week, on his opening night in Manchester, Justin told fans to stay "as quiet as possible" while he was singing.

He said: "Try and stay as quiet as possible. You can scream as much as you want afterwards, but while I’m singing try and stay quiet."

Justin was also annoyed that fans would not listen when he started talking between songs.

He reportedly said: "I just thought I could have a moment to say something. If not, I’ll just get to singing. I don’t mind cutting the bulls**t because I don’t need to talk. I’m just trying to engage, but if you guys don’t want to do that then we can just play the music."

Justin Bieber storms off stage after being booed by fans

"I feel that people were just not giving me the same respect back and it hurts a little bit so that’s why. But we’re gonna end it on this last song… ‘Baby’."

Justin’s UK dates on his ‘Purpose’ world tour have been controversial, as last week the singer blasted his fans at two different concerts.

On his opening night in Manchester, Justin told fans to stay "as quiet as possible" while he was singing.

He said: "Try and stay as quiet as possible. You can scream as much as you want afterwards, but while I’m singing try and stay quiet."

And Justin was also annoyed that fans would not listen when he started talking between songs.

He reportedly said: "I just thought I could have a moment to say something. If not, I’ll just get to singing. I don’t mind cutting the bulls**t because I don’t need to talk. I’m just trying to engage, but if you guys don’t want to do that then we can just play the music."

Just days before that, he also blasted fans for screaming at his show in Birmingham.

He was recorded telling fans: "Just try to show me you love me, in a different way. I get it. The screaming is just so obnoxious. I get it, it’s been in our blood and it’s been grand, you go to a concert and scream and stuff. But if we could just … scream after the song, enjoy the songs … the screaming is awesome, it’s fine, and then we take a chill pill for a second and we just listen to me speak. Because … I don’t feel like I’m being heard sometimes and it’s getting a little pressuring. So, if when I’m speaking you guys could not scream at the top of your lungs. Is that cool with you guys?"

During the recording one woman can be heard shouting "no", but Justin continued, admitting he finds it "tough" on tour sometimes being away from his pals.

He explained: "Like I was saying, I’ve been on tour for a while now. I’m away from my friends so it can be tough sometimes. I have all you beautiful people to keep me company."

Justin Bieber renting £108k-a-week London home

Justin Bieber is renting a £108,000-a-month house in London.

The 22-year-old star is splashing out the massive sum, £1.3 million a year, on a 15-bedroom property in a leafy north London street which comes complete with an outdoor pool, tennis court and a "huge" garden.

Aree Rand, partner at estate agent Knight Frank, said: "This is one of the capital’s most luxurious homes and offers state-of-the-art facilities including an indoor and outdoor pool, a spa, tennis court, home cinema and wine cellar.

"Roads such as this continue to hold massive appeal amongst the rich and the famous, and this is one of the few areas in London to offer larger properties with huge, secluded gardens."

Another reason the ‘Never Say Never’ hitmaker might have chosen to lease the property is because it offers "complete privacy".

The estate agent added to the Daily Mail newspaper: "The house also offers complete privacy, something essential for someone of Justin’s pop star standing."

Justin certainly seems to be keen to keep his new abode on the lowdown as builder Francis Fermin spotted the star outside and claims he told him "no photos" and even persuaded a fan to go without a selfie with him.

He added to the publication: "One girl walked straight past him, then realised who he was and turned around and tried to get a selfie but he was having none of it."

The 1910 abode was once rundown and purchased for £5 million by a property tycoon who redeveloped the home and put it on the market for £100 million, but it later sold for £25 million.

Justin’s latest foray into the housing market comes after he shocked staff at the Kings Oak Hotel in Essex, south east England, last week when he turned up and ordered salmon and mash, complete with a glass of milk.

Taking to their official Facebook account, they wrote: "So no Biggie… Justin Bieber just had dinner in the Kings Oak… !!!!! …stroll in the lovely forest… extremely kind to our KO staff… Hugs and all … If it’s good enough for Bieber… #justinBieber #AMAZING #comeagainsoon!!! (sic)"
