Justin Bieber draws flak for supporting Chris Brown  

Pop star Justin Bieber is under fire after supporting singer Chris Brown, who is currently under investigation for reportedly raping a woman in Paris.

On Tuesday, Brown posted a video of him practicing a choreographed dance on Instagram and captioned it, "We Working."

Bieber, a long-time friend of Brown, commented on the clip, "No one can touch you your the GOAT." His statement suggests that he believes Brown over the rape accuser.

Bieber's support for Brown has got his fans confused.

 "The fact that you're supporting a rapist, a known abuser, makes me sick to my stomach. I looked up to you, and this is honestly so disappointing.... Please educate yourself on the topic," one wrote.

 Another posted: "Justin No."

An Instagram user slammed the 24-year-old singer: "Justin you missed the incredible opportunity to stay silent."

Bieber is not the only celebrity who has shown his support for Brown. After Brown issued a denial to the allegations on Instagram, the likes of T.I. and The Game also weighed in on the allegations.

He was arrested with two other individuals, including one of Brown's bodyguards, on Tuesday in Paris on allegations of aggravated rape and drug violations. He was released without bail and is free to leave France. As of Wednesday night, he's still in France to film a music video. According to reports, he is committed to complete the project before he leaves on Thursday.

Insisting he's not guilty, the 29-year-old is going to sue the accuser, a 24-year-old model, for defamation, his lawyer in Paris, Raphael Chiche, said.

Backstreet Boys reveal their least favourite song

Members of Backstreet Boys find If you want it to be good girl (Get yourself a bad boy) the least favourite song in their discography.

In the DNAuary series on YouTube, the band, which comprises Nick Cater, Kevin Richardson, Brian Littrell, AJ McLean and Howie Dorough, spoke about their songs and why they don't like their "If you..." song, which appeared on the band's sophomore studio album Backstreet's Back in 1997, reports leading publication.

Mclean said the song should have never been recorded, while Richardson said the song is "horrible".

"You know why the fans love that song, because Nick is singing the whole dang thing," added Littrell.

Carter said, "I don't really have a song that I don't like."

The band is known for delivering hit numbers like I want it that way, Incomplete and Quit playing games.

Was a no-brainer to act with son: Liam Neeson

Actor Liam Neeson says it was a no-brainer with regard to acting with his son Micheal Richardson in Cold Pursuit.

"So, my son Micheal plays Kyle. I had suggested him early on to Hans (Petter Moland), our director, and Michael (Shamberg), our producer. And then I just stayed away. Micheal read for the part and he got it. I was pleased, pleased for him too," Neeson said in a statement to a publication.

"We didn't have to pretend to have a relationship, do you know what I mean? For some other strange actor to pretend he is my son… Micheal is my son and he has got some of my body language and I have got some of his, so I think that comes across. It was a no-brainer with regard to acting with him. It was just having a regular conversation with your boy," he added.

The actor said the genre of the film is also something that he had been wanting to be part of since a while now.

"It's a good character-driven revenge thriller, with very interesting bad guys. There is very dark undercurrent element of humour, which is quite appealing," said the Taken star. 

He loved working with his co-actor Laura Dern as well.

"I can tick something off my bucket list. I got to work with the great Laura Dern. She is wonderful, great lady," said Neeson.

Cold Pursuit is a remake of the 2014 Norwegian film In Order Of Disappearance, which was also directed by Moland.

Cold Pursuit will release on 8 February in India through PVR Pictures.

Sophie Turner terrible at keeping secrets

Actress Sophie Turner can’t keep a secret and has already leaked the ending of Game of Thrones to a few people.   

In an interview with W magazine, Turner said she is "terrible" at keeping secrets, reports eonline.com.

"I'm so bad at keeping secrets. I don't think people tell me things anymore because they know that I can't keep them. I've already told the ending of Game of Thrones to a few people," Turner said.

"I was like, ‘Hey, if you want to know, I'll tell you.' But it's people that I know, not random people. It's people that I know will keep the secret," she added.

The eighth and final season of the hit series will bow out in April 2019. It airs in India on Star World.

Italian comic actor nominated for Unesco Committee  

The government has decided to nominate 82-year-old Italian comic actor Lino Banfi to represent Italy on a Unesco committee, Deputy Premier, Welfare and Industry Minister Luigi Di Maio said.

"The government has nominated Maestro Banfi to represent Italy," Di Maio said at a presentation of the government's flagship basic income for the poorest citizens. "We have given Lino Banfi Unesco World Heritage status," he quipped, standing beside the veteran film actor and presenter.

Born Pasquale Zagaria in the city of Andria in Italy's southern Puglia region, Banfi has appeared in over 100 films since 1960. He became a Goodwill Ambassador for the Italian National Committee for UNICEF in 2000.

Tupac Shakur's erotic drawing brings in over $20,000 at auction  

An erotic drawing by late rapper Tupac Shakur has sold for more than $21,000 at an auction.

The colourful artwork was placed up for sale by officials at Steiner Auctions just before Christmas (25 December 2018), drawing bids from 10 potential buyers, with the winning bid of $21,155.75 placed by a man in his 1960s, according to leading publication.

The risque piece of art was included in a love letter to Shakur's then-girlfriend Desiree Smith, while he was serving nine months behind bars for a sexual abuse charge at New York's Clinton Correctional Facility back in 1995, reports leading publication.

The rap star was later released on appeal.

The hand-drawn card features a steamy illustration of the icon making love to his woman from behind, with a message reading, "Missing You Deeply! Forever with love."

Inside, he wrote, "To Desiree, I love you."

On the back of the drawing, he added, "Just a little something to get you hot and make you reminisse!"
