More Than 70,000 People Have Signed a Petition to Deport Justin Bieber
By Samantha Grossman @sam_grossmanJan. 28, 2024
Alexander Tamargo / Getty Images How do we solve a problem like Justin Bieber? We just get rid of him!
That’s the logic behind a petition — which at the time of writing had racked up More Than 74,000 signatures — urging the Obama administration to revoke the Biebs’ green card and send him back to his native Canada.
Many Americans are fed up with the singer’s reckless “bad boy” ways that culminated last week in an arrest for driving under the influence and drag racing. And since he’s not an American citizen — and has said he never plans on becoming one — outraged Americans Have proposed a solution to just go ahead and Deport him.
Here’s what the Petition says:We the People of the United States feel that we are being wrongly represented in the world of pop culture. We would like to see the dangerous, reckless, destructive, and drug abusing, Justin Bieber deported and his green card revoked. He is not only threatening the safety of our People but he is also a terrible influence on our nations youth. We the People would like to remove Justin Bieber from our society.
Of course, as TIME reported last week, one cannot simply deport Justin Bieber. Plus, the White House already receives tons of petitions, like that one to build a Death Star. So, Bieber haters, try not to get your hopes up.

I didn’t want it to get lost in the Boo Boo Pop Tart thread. It’s available at Trader Joe’s for $2.99 per box or $4 to $6 dollars at the supermarket. It tastes great, like a bran cereal. Since lactose intolerant me discovered Almond Milk I can finally have cold Cereal again. I have a ton of fresh blueberries that I keep in the freezer. I don’t let them thaw, I just pop them into the bowl. Like little baby frozen blueberry balls.
Report: FBI Overstated Forensic Evidence In More Than 200 Trials
According to a new report by The Washington Post, the FBI has admitted its examiners gave misleading testimony about Forensic hair matches for over two decades, overstating Evidence to aid prosecutors in at least 257 criminal trials.
32 of those Trials resulted in death sentences and 14 defendants were either executed or died in prison.
The findings came out today as part of a sweeping review of the FBI Laboratory’s questionable practices prior to 2000. From The Post:
Federal authorities launched the investigation in 2024 after The Washington Post reported that flawed Forensic hair matches might have led to the convictions of hundreds of potentially innocent people since at least the 1970s, typically for murder, rape and other violent crimes nationwide.
The review confirmed that FBI experts systematically testified to the near-certainty of “matches” of crime-scene hairs to defendants, backing their claims by citing incomplete or misleading statistics drawn from their case work.
For the last 15 years, the FBI has reportedly only used hair analysis to rule out suspects or in conjunction with DNA evidence.
Of the 268 hair match Trials examined so far, over 95 percent were found to have included flawed FBI testimony. Approximately 1,200 More cases have not yet been reviewed.

Doris Day and a fan on April 4

She wasn’t expected to attend the annual Doris Day Animal Foundation benefit in honor of her 90th birthday. But at the last minute, the song and screen legend decided to make a surprise entrance.
When Doris Day, sporting her trademark pageboy do and a white turtleneck, entered the room at Carmel’s Quail Lodge on April 4 (the day after she turned 90), stunned guests cheered her arrival. Some even started to cry.
"At First I didn’t realize it was for me," says Day, who hadn’t made a Public Appearance in More Than two decades. "I couldn’t believe it. People kept coming up to me all night, kissing and hugging me. It’s all so exciting and sweet. I’ll never ever forget it."
One of the biggest box-office stars of her time, Day is amazed her films had such an impact. "I am thrilled people love my movies," she says. "We all had so much fun making them."
Day says she keeps in shape by exercising every day, taking long walks on her property with her beloved dogs, and eating a healthy diet. She enjoys occasional indulgences such as a glass of wine ("Just one glass," she says) and her favorite, ice cream.
"I love good and healthy things," she says.
Still, she’s not one to focus on her age. "I just feel young," she says. "I can’t really explain it. I just feel that way."

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Doris DAY!
She looks so fresh and wonderful! I love those Doris Day/Rock Hudson movies, Tony Randall was fantastic in them too.
What Louis Theroux fears more than prison inmates and Neo-Nazis

HE’S the self-effacing Englishman who has transcended geeky journo to become a master ********ary maker with so much clout he’s being investigated by Scientology.
But ask Louis Theroux, 45, What he’s feared most in more than 15 years covering subjects including America’s worst prisons, Neo-Nazi culture, white supremacists and paedophilia and you get a surprising answer.
“There are sometimes moments where you do get nervous. I did a thing on Neo-Nazis and that was stressful and I went to a big skinhead event and I thought there might be a chance something would happen there,” Theroux says.
“Prisons and jails I tend to feel that you’re actually safer as a journalist than you might think, certainly more than it appears.

“Funnily enough the most danger I felt was when I did a story about exotic animals kept as pets in America.
“And I kept hearing: ‘I could be in a cage with a tiger all day, but I won’t go near a chimpanzee’. The cliche I heard a lot was that they’ll rip your arm off and beat you to death with it.”
Theroux’s off-beat humor surfaces.
“And I don’t want to discredit or cast aspersions on the chimpanzee population, but I think they are so bored and so intelligent and they live to be about 60 years old and they just get angry.
“When it was time to meet a chimpanzee I got very, very anxious because they have the strength of ten men, so I hear.
“They bite your genitals off, I hear, and they bite your nose off, and because I have quite a big nose, I always thought one might see my nose and it might be too tempting to resist.”
Theroux’s greatest gift is his gentle, unassuming mask of neutrality and whip-smart intelligence, which sees him ask questions about the ‘elephant in the room’, and elicit honest rather than angry responses. His subjects may baulk, but they still answer.
In the case of the first of his two upcoming ********aries, By Reason of Insanity, the result is raw, unflinching storytelling.
Theroux spends a month immersed in Ohio’s State Psychiatric Hospitals, where his subjects have been incarcerated and are being treated after being found not guilty of horrific crimes ‘by reason of insanity’.
As schizophrenic Jonathan calmly, clinically, and without a trace of empathy recounts slitting his father’s throat seven years earlier in a paranoid rage, Theroux confesses part of him wants to see ‘more grief’.
He also asks Jonathon did he love his father — something the inmate confesses he’s never been asked in seven years of treatment.
It’s deeply confronting. And you can’t look away.

Theroux chooses difficult, confronting subjects because ‘there is something in me which is curious about both extremes of behaviour extremes of emotion — things that are difficult to deal with that are painful and bring us into conflict with ourselves’.
“And then on the other hand I choose them to try to sort of make connections with people and understand them.
“It’s in the DNA of all the shows that I have done that are about people that are dealing with very stressful situations that are giving them a lot of angst. Why I respond to that on a deeper level is hard to answer.”
“In this ********ary there’s a couple of those moments that stand out, really, for me.
“One is how does a nice person — a person who seems to be polite, sensitive, empathetic end up brutally murdering their father? That’s the big one.
“The other is how do you decide with someone who appears to be cured, how do you take responsibility for unleashing him or her on the world given that they’ve done something hideous in the past?”
“You see in the interview with Jonathan, this young man who is on the one hand obliging and answers the questions and appears to be sincerely attempting to engage with me in a dialogue, and then on the other hand he stabbed his father to death.
“Towards the end of the interview, rather than pretend this is all quite normal, I called attention to the fact that he is talking about something that is absolutely hideous and yet wasn’t showing much emotion.”

Theroux is currently putting the final touches to his latest ********ary on Scientology; a project that has resulted in the powerful religion saying it is making its own ********ary on him.
It’s a common tactic from Scientology when journalists attempt to delve into its workings, and Theroux is unfazed.
“One of the things I have always enjoyed about Scientology is their proactive approach to journalists who are covering them,” he says.
“In an odd way it’s kind of a privilege to feel as though I’m on their radar.”

On doing Idol
That was a moment in my life that I want to press ‘delete.’ I was hoping to be more of a mentor for the contestants… they chose to go another direction which was ‘reality tv.’
On how much she made for Idol
I got more [than 12 million]. I wouldn’t have done it for 12 [million].
On what Nick is doing for her for Valentine’s Day
He’s not even going to be home from what I hear now. The schedule dahling.
On if Nick is a hands-on dad
Nick, he has fun with dem babies when they’re fun. And then when it’s like they’re interfering with other things, they go to the crib, and that’s fine.
On Nick saying they have lots of sex
I can’t comment on Nick’s commentary. He should slow down and stop talking. I hope Nick’s listening. I would prefer to have a certain degree of decorum vs. just saying things for laughs.
On if she’s divorcing Nick
Yes we’re going to divorce court after we leave dahling. Dominican Republic here we come.
On having twins
Can anyone congratulate me for having twins? Imagine carrying two twins.
On if she has nannies
Unfortunately I have to have nannies but I’m very hands on. I go through nannies like this [snaps fingers] and I hate to do that but I have to, because if they try to make themselves more important in the baby’s mind than me… [makes cutting motion over throat]. I just brought a girl back home with me from Puerto Rico and she’s here.

For centuries, boys were top of the class. But these days, that’s no longer the case.
A new study by the OECD, a club of mostly rich countries, examined how 15-year-old boys and girls performed at reading, mathematics and science. boys still score somewhat better at maths, and in science the genders are roughly equal. But when it comes to the students who really struggle, the difference is stark: boys are 50% more likely than girls to fall short of basic standards in all three areas.
Why are girls performing better at school than their male classmates?
First, girls read more than boys. Reading proficiency is the basis upon which all other learning is built. When boys don’t do well at reading, their performance in other school subjects suffers too.
Second, girls spend more time on homework. On average, girls spend five and a half hours per week doing homework while boys spend a little less than four and a half hours. Researchers suggest that doing homework set by teachers is linked to better performance in maths, reading and science. Boys, it appears, spend more of their free time in the virtual world; they are 17% more likely to play collaborative online games than girls every day. They also use the internet more.
Third, peer pressure plays a role. A lot of boys decide early on that they are just too cool for school. They adopt a concept of masculinity that includes a disregard for authority, which means they’re more likely to be rowdy in class. Teachers mark them down for this. In anonymous tests, boys perform better. In fact, the gender gap in reading drops by a third when teachers don’t know the gender of the pupil they are marking.
So what can be done to close this gap? Getting boys to do more homework and cut down on screen-time would help. And offering boys a chance to read non-fiction would help too: they’re keener on comics and newspapers. But most of all, abandoning gender stereotypes would benefit all students. boys in countries with the
best schools read much better than girls. And girls in Shanghai excel in mathematics.
They outperform boys from anywhere else in the world.

She’s of the generation of actresses who have defied many of the barriers women face in Hollywood.
And at 42 years of age Gwyneth Paltrow is enjoying a career that is only continuing to blossom.
The actress recently opened up about the ageing process with Stylist.co.uk where she admitted she’d ‘rather die’ Than Study her face in the mirror.
‘I’m not the type to look in the mirror and Study my looks,’ Paltrow explained.
Adding: ‘God no! I’d Rather die Than be studying my face like that!’
And when it comes to her morning beauty routine, she likes to keep it simple.
Gwyneth Paltrow may not be bothered about her wrinkles, but she says she’s got a lot better things to do Than look in the mirror. Well we think she should start as she might love what she sees, because we do!
Donning an all-white cut-out Roland Mouret dress, Gwyneth posed on the red carpet at an event in LA.
The form-fitting number really clung to all the right places and the Paul Andrew snakeskin heels set the look off in style.

Or head below to discover what we’ve found for you on the virtual high street. We’ve even found a cute pair of snakeskin heels so you can complete the look to channel Gwyn perfectly.
The mother-of-two, who she shares with estranged husband Chris Martin, says she begins the day as most single moms would: ‘I just brush my teeth and try to get dressed and get everyone up.’
‘The morning is definitely not the time when I look in the mirror. I don’t tend to wear much make-up either.’
Paltrow then discussed the experience of being on the red carpet and having her every angle analyzed.
‘If I ever see a picture of myself on the red carpet, I always think of it as the public version of me that’s out there,’ the Goop founder said.
‘I guess I think of it as a character, a two dimensional character. That character acts as a screen that people project their own stuff onto.
‘I really don’t think of it as me. I think of it as an image that’s been created by other people.’
But she also practices self-acceptance when it comes to how she feels about herself: ‘I like my wrinkles and you know, I like what I see.
‘Of course I can get into the frame of mind where I get critical about this and that, but I really try to not do that and try to appreciate the incredible life I’ve lived and all I’ve learned. I like that all of that is written on my face.’
