Friday, May 24th Charli XCX has released a new music video for "Take My Hand," off her new album True Romance.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7cOt-xFU8Y
Sputnik Staffer DaveyBoy had this to say about True Romance: "[Charli XCX] delivers an impressive array of dark electro-pop that should be both critically & commercially successful. As modern as it is retro & as catchy as it is unique, the multi-layered production lends itself to repeated listening. It's overlong & a little repetitive, but otherwise this is a promising album from a talented new artist."

Justin Bieber was taken by surprise from behind when an overly excited male fan ran up on him while playing a concert in Dubai. The pop superstar was in the middle of performing his next smash single "Believe" on a grand piano right before all hell broke loose.
Security on hand wasted no time responding to the situation but accidentally tackled the Biebs, fan, and piano in one fell swoop. Luckily, for the several thousand mortified girls in attendance, magic was in the air since the piano and vocals managed to not skip a beat.

Justin Bieber is once again making bizarre Internet headlines for his usual antics that seem to
have a whirlwind effect on causing controversy. The latest situation has to do with a visit to
the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam, where the pop star wrote a special message in the
guestbook. Its entry, addressed to the teenage Holocaust victim, is raising eyebrows for the
inclusion of a wish that she would’ve possibly been a belieber.
Naturally, all hell broke loose when the information leaked because his fans were totally
oblivious to the fact the WWII Jewish hero ever existed. What many deemed as uncalled for,
towards the narcissistic undertone of the comment, was a cherished field day when it came to
comedians. The organizers of the historic site are standing by Bieber’s side for the simple
reason they hope it’ll bring more awareness to the tragedy.
