Justin Bieber's list of touring 'demands' was leaked and it's even crazier than you imagined.

Everything about Justin Bieber screams DIVA. So it's no surprise that the pop prince has a lot of demands when he goes on tour. But the rider for his upcoming "Purpose" tour in India, which was leaked on Twitter, is even more extravagant and ridiculous than you could have possibly imagined.

Bieber and his "entourage of 120 people" will be equipped with a "convoy of 10 luxury sedans and two Volvo buses" as well as a Rolls Royce "reserved for the Grammy winner himself," reads his tour rider, which was shared on Twitter by music journalist Arjun S Ravi.

THAT'S ONLY THE BEGINNING.

The Baby singer will also have a "private jet and chopper on stand-by" to meet his "immediate travel demands."

But what will he do for fun?????? We've heard he likes peeing in buckets. But maybe one of these activities will provide a distraction:

10 containers will be flown in with items like a ping pong table, playstation, IO HAWK, sofa set, washing machine, refrigerator, upholstery, wardrobe cupboard, massage table that will be used backstage. Arrangements for a Jacuzzi have also been made for Bieber's personal use to unwind before he takes to the stage.

For sleeping arrangements, according to the rider, two five-star hotels have been reserved for the singer and his team. Not two hotel rooms—two entire hotels.

Apparently being a mega-star is pretty stressful, but maybe his "special Indian Yoga Casket" and personal masseuse will help. The list continues:

A special Indian Yoga Casket containing aromatic essential oils; jasmine, mogra, rose and camphor incense sticks; and books on chakras and yoga asanas will be placed in Bieber's suite knowing his love for Yoga. That's not all a licensed female masseuse specially flown in from Kerala will be provided to Bieber on all four days. 100 hangers, cans of wildberries and vanilla room freshners, dove body wash, hydrating lip balms - these are some of the special requests being catered to in his 1000 sq ft suite. Rooms with the best view in the quietest part of the hotel with only king size beds is a pre requisite with a 24 hour-fitness centre with a steam room.

And these will be the food arrangements for Bieber, who is 23-years-old:

Top culinary experts will supervise the gourmet being served to Bieber over the four days with five dishes per day being renamed after his popular songs. The hotels will re-design his suite and incorporate Mogul paintings, antique furniture and signature Kashmiri bedroom linen. His room will be adorned with purple carnations, purple being his favourite color! The hotel will convert itself into Bieber's private villa with three floors of the hotel being booked for the artist and his entourage and one elevator blocked on all 4 full days for Bieber alone.

That's right, his meals will be named after his own songs, which may include dishes like the "Baby Burrito," "One Less Lonely Linguini" and "Sorry Sushi."

But five meals a day can only take you so far. According to the source, the singer also requested this lengthy array of snack foods:

vegetables seasoned with ranch sauce, diced fruit, organic bananas and seedless grapes. Snacks must also include a deli platter of organic turkey, lettuce, colby and provolone cheese, black olives, as well as green and banana peppers. Lastly, backstage demands include white sliced bread, potato chips, mint and watermelon gum, white cheddar popcorn, Ghiradelli dark chocolate with sea salt and almonds, menthol and watermelon gum, vinegar chips, organic dried fruit, peanuts, and all berries cereal. The "Sorry" singer also has a list of delicious treats that he enjoys, like a large pack of Swedish Fish, boxes of Ritz Bitz peanut butter and cheese sandwiches and multiple packs of haribo Cola Gummies.

All those snacks might make the prince thirsty. But don't worry:

To quench his thirst, he demands 24 still water bottles, 24 alkaline water bottles, 4 energy drinks, 6 vitamin water bottles, 6 cream sodas as well as a cooler packed with assorteden juices fizzy drinks. The rider also lists 4 natural juices, 4 vanilla protein drinks and half a gallon of almond milk.

More requests from the Biebs include "that his dressing room be entirely draped with white curtains, a large glass-door refrigerator, clothing shelves, eight power outlets and 12 white handkerchiefs."

Twelve white handkerchiefs, guys. Is Justin Bieber a pop star or an international villain?!

Finally, the list concludes:

In every dressing room, there is a requirement for 2 packages of plain white crew-neck teeshirts, in sizes XS and L, 2 packages of white tank tops, sizes L and XL, 3 packages of white lo-rise socks, size XS and L. You'll also need a boom box with an iPhone battery in order to keep the Biebs happy backstage.

If all this doesn't "keep the Biebs happy," I don't know what will. Inner peace? JK, obviously the key to happiness is SWAG.


Here's what MySpace Tom has been up to while you've been wasting time on Facebook.

It's easy to lose track of old friends, especially ones from high school, like MySpace Tom.

Forever in this pose, hopefully without a kink in his neck.

MySpace Tom, also known as Tom Anderson, sold MySpace to Rupert Murdoch's company for $580 million (FIVE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY MILLION DOLLARS!!!) in 2005, and the 46-year-old has been living it up in retirement ever since.

The former entrepreneur has picked up photography in his ample free time, and now spends his days traveling and photographic the planet's most stunning vistas.

He's been in Hawaii.

Beautiful spot on Kauai - when the ocean is calmer people swim in the natural baths that form here.

MySpace Tom has also been down in Sydney. You can learn a lot of good trivia from his captions.

And Hong Kong.

And Manila.

If you were shared a random Google Doc today, do not open it.

If you received an email on Wednesday saying that someone on your contacts list has shared a Google Doc with you, you may want to think twice before opening it.

According to Buzzfeed, a lot of people have been the targets of a phishing attempt (where hackers try to get you to click on their sketchy links) by an unknown organization.

Apparently, people are getting emails with links to Google Docs that appear to come from people they know. At least some of these emails are addressed to "hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh@mailinator.com," with the person who received it in the BCC field. The emails subject lines say, "[Person in your contacts] just shared a Google Doc with you," exactly what Google's emails say when someone shares an actual Google Doc.

If you click on the link, you'll be taken to an actual Google page that will ask for permission across your Google accounts, according to Buzzfeed. If you grant it, it would give the hackers access to your personal data. As of right now, it seems that the attack would only be successful if you gave it permission to access your data. However, it appears that opening the email will forward it to everyone on your contacts list.

Apparently, this phishing attempt is affecting a lot of people. If you search "shared a doc" on Twitter, you'll see a ton of results, mostly people warning their followers not to open any suspicious docs.

If you did click on the fraudulent link, there is a way to fix it, which Buzzfeed outlines in their article.

Be careful out there, kids! If you did receive a Google Doc today, double check that the person it's from actually sent it. And maybe change your password for good measure.

By the time I'm done untangling my headphones I only want to listen to angry music.

Kylie Jenner releases video to shut down the 'haters' who say she photoshopped her selfie.

Last week, fans around the world were slightly shocked by allegations that Kylie Jenner had photoshopped a selfie on Instagram. Her waist, they alleged, could not possibly be so narrow.

A post shared by Kylie (@kyliejenner) on

What's more, the commenters believed they had conclusive evidence of her deceit.

Aha! The jig is up! Did Ms. Jenner really think everyone would believe that she, one of the richest and most famous 19-year-olds on the planet, would live in a home with warped woodwork?

The outrage was immense. Jenner lost more than 100,000 Instagram followers over the controversy, leaving her with a paltry 93 million remaining. Ultimately, she was forced to defend herself in a Snapchat video. But was it convincing?

Oh. Yes, that's pretty convincing. It was a curtain.

In retrospect, that was very obvious from her other posts.

It looks like the world owes Kylie Jenner, and her curtains, an apology.

This teen made a matching prom dress for her dog and Twitter can't handle it.

Brenda Sierra, a high school senior from Florida, is living her best life. The 18-year-old had TWO adorable dates to prom this year. One of them was her friend Rodney. The other was her 7-year-old rescue dog Sasha, who Brenda dressed up in a tiny doggy prom dress to match her own.

Who wore it better?

I think we can all agree Sasha wore it better (it's the headband!). But they both look stunning.

"Sasha is my best friend, anywhere that she is able to go, she goes," Sierra told People."When I bought my prom dress and saw that my dress had a lot of fabric that needed to be cut off, it came to me that I HAD to include Sasha in my prom photos."

The perfect triple.

Sasha didn't actually get to go to prom. But according to Sierra, the Dachshund"was very happy wearing the dress" and got to participate in an epic pre-prom photo shoot. Sierra shared the pics on Twitter, where they went viral.

Twitter can barely handle the cuteness.

This guy thinks he did it better.

Twitter disagrees.

Others are inspired to dress up their own canines for prom.

The matching prom dresses were such a huge success that Sierra is already planning their next twin outing. "A lot of the comments I’ve received include 'you have to bring her to your graduation'" she told People."So I’m currently trying to make her a cap and gown to match mine!"

Let's be honest, the news has been a huge bummer lately/always. But this video from a school in Birmingham, England, of a 7-year-old girl named Anu showing her new prosthetic"sports blade" to her friends at school, should restore your faith in humankind.

Sure, that's a lot of pressure to put on one video. But trust me.

The way the girl's classmates react to her snazzy bright pink blade is so sweet and loving, it's melting everyone's hearts on Twitter.

Just watch:

Sure, sometimes children can be cruel. But this video is a reminder that children can also be sweet angelic beacons of love and acceptance that we should all aspire to be more like.

The video, of course, went viral. And Twitter is feeling all the feels. ALL OF THEM.

And luckily the writer of this article is not the only one crying.

(No, you're crying.)

NO, YOU DID.

Okay fine, we're all crying.

According to the BBC, Anu lost her leg shortly after she was born. You can see more of her story here:

Seven year old Anu from Birmingham has a sports blade that allows her to run and jump and dance - but he funding to replace the blade as she grows is uncertain.

Posted by BBC Midlands Today on Tuesday, May 2, 2017

In the BBC video on Facebook, Anu explains that she loves her new blade because it's pink (her favorite color) and "it makes me run faster and do my street dancing faster." This girl's positive attitude is #goals.

And so are her friendships. Just look at these two:

If that's not #friendshipgoals, I don't know what is.

Hey, nerds! May 4th is Star Wars day, and what better way to celebrate than with this hilarious "All Star" lip dub courtesy of Jimmy Fallon?

Made by someone who undoubtedly used the force (and their editing skills) for good, this video cuts together snippets from all the various Star Wars movies to depict your favorite characters singing the late '90s hit "All Star" by Smash Mouth.

Characters from all iterations of the Star Wars franchise were involved, including Padmé Amidala, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Lando Calrissian, Rey, Maz Kanata, Luke Skywalker, Yoda, Finn and Jabba the Hutt. Hell, even Jar Jar Binks made the cut.

Smash Mouth, who recently opened up about their hit 1999 becoming a meme to The Daily Dot, even gave the mash-up their stamp of approval by tweeting a link to the video with the hashtag #HanStar

Whether you are an all star or a death star, May the 4th be with you today!

Little kid 'runs away' from home, but comes back for something really important he left behind.

Kids may not know much, but they're smart enough to know about the truly important things in life. Like, for example, this little boy who "ran away" from home, only to come back, take the cat, and run away again.

In a post on Reddit, user NuggLife_ posted an adorable picture of his or her young son, who may or may not actually be Thor (that gorgeous hair!) "running away" from home (yeah, we all know how that goes). The caption says it all: "Our 6 year old 'ran away' yesterday so we told him we love him and to come back if he needs anything. He came back and took the cat."

This kid knows what's up.

As a cat lover myself, I'm almost surprised he left without the cat in the first place. Maybe he just wasn't sure how he was going to fit it into his suitcase, which was probably filled with cans of soup, comic books, and stuffed animals. Best of luck out there in the big world, little fella! See you back home in about an hour. You're going to need to feed your best friend.

Stephen Colbert responds to the #FireColbert movement after his 'homophobic' Trump joke.

Stephen Colbert used his monologue Wednesday night to respond to the #FireColbert controversy that erupted after a joke he made about Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.

Skip to the 11:00 mark for Colbert's insult rant, but here's the line that launched the hashtag:

"The only thing your mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin’s cock holster."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaHwlSTqA7s

Colbert made the comment after Donald Trump insulted his fellow CBS host, John Dickerson, calling his show"Face the Nation"—get this—"Deface the Nation."

Colbert then shot off insult after insult at President Trump, culminating in the controversial crack about Trump and Putin's sex life together.

"Am I still the host?" asked Colbert at the very top of his show after the fall-out. "I'm still the host!"

While many pointed out that conservatives (like the above Mike Cernovitch, a conspiracy theorist and "alt right ringleader"), were using the opportunity to punish Colbert on Twitter for a homophobic attitude better represented by Trump's own administration, Colbert admitted he could have chosen his words more wisely. Not that he has any regrets.

"Now, folks, if you saw my monologue on Monday, you know that I was a little upset with Donald Trump for insulting a friend of mine. So, at the end of that monologue, I had a few choice insults for the president in return. I don't regret that."

The "no regrets" attitude got Colbert a massive applause break.

"I believe he can take care of himself," he continued. "I have jokes, he has the launch codes. So, it's a fair fight. So while I would do it again, I would change a few words that were cruder than they needed to be."

Colbert then stated his support for all types of love.

"Now, I'm not going to repeat the phrase, but I just want to say for the record, life is short. And anyone who expresses their love for another person, in their own way, is to me, an American hero. And I think we can all agree on that. I hope even the president and I can agree on that. Nothing else. But that."

Delta threatens to send kids to foster care when parents won't leave overbooked flight.

Another airline is in the news for not-so-good reasons and this time it's Delta. The Schear family from Huntington Beach, California, say that they were kicked off an overbooked flight on April 23 because they refused to relinquish a seat they bought, according to Eyewitness News. Not only that, but an airline staffer threatened the parents would go to jail and their kids sent to foster care.

The family was flying from Hawaii to Los Angeles when staff asked Brian and Brittany Schear to give up the seat they had purchased and wanted to seat their 2-year-old in; they asked the couple to hold the toddler on their laps for the duration of the flight instead. But when they wouldn't comply (really, would you want to sit with a wiggly 2-year-old in your lap for a flight across the Pacific Ocean?), the Schears claim a staff member threatened that they would be sent to jail.

As people are wont to do these days, someone whipped out their camera and started filming the video below. At the 12 second mark in the video, you can indeed hear an airline staff member saying something about, "a federal offense, and then you and your wife will be in jail and your kids will be in foster care." WOW.

Brittany Schear told Eyewitness News, "As a mother, you have a 1-year-old and a 2-year-old—it doesn't matter whether that's true or false. It put fear in me."

Schear had originally bought the seat for his 18-year-old son Mason, but then decided to send him home on an earlier flight and instead use that seat for his younger son, Grayson. He was planning on using the car seat they boarded with, claiming that Grayson would only sleep in his car seat (it was a red-eye flight). That's what he claims they did on the flight to Hawaii, with no problems at all.

However, Delta staff can be heard in the video telling him that they need the seat, and that the original passenger whose name was on the seat (Mason) wasn't using it. But, as Schear points out, he still paid for it, so he should be allowed to use it. Schear says to the employee, "You're saying you're gonna give that away to someone else when I paid for that seat? That's not right."

Here's where it gets really confusing—an airline employee tells Schear that under FAA regulations, children 2 and younger are never supposed to have their own seats, and are always supposed to sit in their parents' laps during the flight.

But Delta's website seems to say just the opposite, reading, "We want you and your children to have the safest, most comfortable flight possible. For kids under the age of two, we recommend you purchase a seat on the aircraft and use an approved child safety seat." Which is, of course, exactly what the Schears did.

Eventually Brian Schear complied and said he would hold his son on his lap for the flight, but by then the airline staff had decided it was too late, and they removed Brian and Brittany Schear and their two young children from the plane.

Eyewitness News reports that by then, it was around midnight, and so the Schears had to find a hotel room for the night and spend $2,000 to take another flight the next day (this time they chose United—what a gamble).

Schear told CBS Los Angeles, “We never thought it was going to get to the point where they were actually getting us all off the flight. As we were leaving the plane, there’s four or five passengers waiting for our seat. The bottom line is, they oversold the flight.” Schear also told CBS Los Angeles that he's not even looking for a refund, he just wants an apology.

Eyewitness News reached out to Delta for comment, but has not heard back. The Schears say that Delta reached out to them looking for more information after they posted about the incident on Facebook.

Ex-Disney star Bella Thorne has donned nearly every single hair color under the sun, but it was her latest look that shocked social media.

But before we get to that, let's take a stroll down memory lane and look at all the colors Bella Thorne's hair has been.

Well, it was recently blue.

And brown, although we suspect this was a wig.

She rocked the hell out of this two-tone fiery red/blonde look.

And, of course, often returns to her signature natural red.

But last night, the hair chameleon posted a picture with her locks dyed the last color we would ever expect: bright blonde.

How hasn't this girl's hair fallen out after all that bleaching and dying? Furthermore, how the heck does it look so healthy!? Reveal your secrets, you hair sorceress!

Bella Thorne debuted her much lighter locks on Twitter on Wednesday alongside the caption "Hi blondie." And, of course, Thorne looks gorgeous, because she is one of those people who have the magical ability to pull off any hair color. Jealous.

Later that evening, she popped on some extensions and headed to Nylon's Young Hollywood event.

Some fans are speculating that Thorne is pulling a Kylie Jenner and that her blonde hair is merely a wig, but, hey— if she bought it, it's still technically her hair.

Stephen King trolls Donald Trump for being the scariest character imaginable.

Stephen King can't think of anything scarier than Donald Trump. After tweeting about his new movie The Dark Tower, King admitted there's nothing he can write to make you jump up in fear that Donald Trump's not already doing with his famous fingers.

King's mini rant, which starts with fiction and moves to stranger-than-fiction, is fun to read if you think about it as his train of thought. First he's thinking about his story, and then realizes—wait—this is basically a romance novel compared to Trump with the nuclear button.

Maybe King will be inspired to write a horror story with a supernatural Trump villain. I mean, he already teased us with a few (very) short versions a few months ago.

And if you need it, Stephen King, here's some motivation for your next novel.

Here's what the Fyre Festival organizers actually spent their whole budget on.

The Fyre Festival—the almost-festival that was anything but fire—became an international punchline last Thursday night when news trickled out from the Bahamas about just how much reality failed to live up to expectations.

Rapper Ja Rule and businessman Billy McFarland pitched a luxury weekend of models, music, and models for the world's young elite. Thanks to budgeting failures and delusions of what it took to put on a festival, the duo are now subjects of multiple class-action lawsuits, seeking up to $100 million in damages.

A big article in Vicewith dozens of sources reveals that the festival organizers knew long before yuppies descended on the island that the experience would not be as advertised. Logistical planning for the event didn't even begin until less than two months before the thousands of people were set to arrive, which is not enough time to organize anything, let alone enough time to get the stuff through Bahamian customs.

"If Fyre Festival seemed last-minute, that’s because it was," Vice reports. "McFarland thought of the idea in October 2016 and announced the festival on Instagram a month later, spending millions on models, private jets, and yachts to promote what would be his first ever large-scale event, sources familiar with the planning said."

work is tough 🙄

A post shared by Hailey Baldwin (@haileybaldwin) on

McFarland blew $250,000 on a single Instagram post from Kendall Jenner, and the less-famous, non-Kardashian "influencers" weren't paid less than $20,000, Vice says.

People who worked with artists and food vendors say that the organizers failed to make payments, while still paying the models. Even the festival's first website was pulled after they failed to pay the company that created it.

One of the class-action lawsuits against the Fyre Festival hits them for their misleading, model-centric strategy. Only one model, Emily Ratajkowski, included on her social media that her promotion was in fact an ad, which is required by the Federal Trade Commission.

"These ‘sponsored posts’ were in direct violation of Federal Trade Commission guidelines on disclosing material connections between advertisers and endorsers," the suit says. "Social Media ‘influencers’ made no attempt to disclose to consumers that they were being compensated for promoting the Fyre Festival. Instead these influencers gave the impression that the guest list was full of the Social Elite and other celebrities."

Theses will be written on the Fyre Festival debacle, saying it's a microcosm for America: obsession with celebrities and "influencers" at the expense of investing in infrastructure leads to disaster.

House GOP makes especially ironic typo in tweet trying to sell Trumpcare.

I don't know about you guys, but lately my reaction to the political news of the day has been something along the lines of: "Wait, what? Are we being punk'd?" That's how I felt reading this tweet from House Republicans about the AHCA.

Back in March, the House GOP tweeted out a quiz inviting constituents to "test your knowledge" on the new healthcare bill. On Wednesday, some Twitter users noticed a pretty glaring typo. Can you spot it?

Yes, they spelled the acronym of the American Health Care Act wrong. As written in the GOP's tweet, the bill would be called the American Care Health Act. (Doesn't quite have the same ring to it, does it?). Even worse, they spelled it wrong while they were sharing a QUIZ about it. Perhaps the GOP needs to test their knowledge.

Twitter had a lot to say about the error:

Do we need to start giving the House of Representatives a spelling test every Friday?

Twitter user @dubsteppenwolf spent years in the service industry, bartending and working in restaurants around New Orleans. In the wake of the raging debate over the GOP's attempt to replace the Affordable Care Act (a.k.a. Obamacare) with the radically stripped-down American Health Care Act (a.k.a. Trumpcare), this straight shooter decided to tell some horror stories about what life for these workers was really like before the government started forcing insurers to cover them. Now, those tweets are going viral, as readers are forced to acknowledge how little protection there is for a class of hardworking people who comprise a huge chunk of the US economy.

Lots of people chimed in with questions and their own stories, and @dubsteppenwolf was happy to engage.

If you can read all of that and still not tip, you are ice cold. The same goes for supporting the AHCA.
