Bieber

to plead guilty in drag racing case

THURSDAY, AUGUST 14, 2014

Justin Bieber will plead guilty to lesser charges following his arrest for driving under the influence in Miami last January, a local newspaper reported Tuesday. The Cana-

dian pop singer will agree to attend an anger management

class and make a 50,000 dollar charitable contribution, the

Miami Herald said, quoting sources. Bieber was arrested after

an alleged drag racing incident, and police say he admitted

to having smoked marijuana and taken the prescription drug

Xanax.

In a hearing Wednesday, prosecutors are expected to drop

the DUI charge. In exchange, Bieber's lawyers will accept a

guilty plea for careless driving and resisting arrest without

violence, the paper said. Bieber is not expected to attend the

court session. As part of the deal he will have to attend a 12-

hour anger management course.

The 20-year-old drove a Lamborghini in the alleged race

with his friend Khalil Sharieff and was reported to have used

obscene words during his arrest. The troubled pop star has had

several run ins with the law of late. In July he was sentenced

Two German artists are claiming responsibility for a stunt that baffled New Yorkers last month: two big white flags placed atop the Brooklyn bridge in place of the US stars and stripes, the New York Times reported yesterday. Artists Mischa Leinkauf and Matthias Wermke told the Times their prank was aimed at honoring "the beauty of public space" and celebrating the iconic span designed by a German-born engineer who died in 1869 on July 22 -- the day the flags appeared. To back up their claim the German

artists provided video footage apparently

shot at night from atop the mighty bridge. "This was not an anti-American statement,"

Wermke, 35, told the Times. "From our Berlin background, we were a little surprised that it got the reaction it did. We really didn't intend to embarrass the police," Leinkauf, 37, added. "We saw the bridge, which was designed by a German, trained in Berlin, who came to America because it was the place to fulfill his dreams, as the most beautiful expression of a great public space,"Leinkauf said."That beauty

was what we were trying to capture." They staged the stunt between 3 and 5 am

of July 22, lugging the white flags in backpacks as they used the climbing cables that workers and the police use to reach the towers. They did not see security cameras. The pair made the white flags themselves using two kinds of fabric to depict the stars and stripes. They removed the real US flags respectfully, and plan to return them, they said.--AFP

Adam Sandler's

`Pixels' pushed back two months

Chris Columbus' action-comedy "Pixels" has been delayed by two months, and will now open on July 24, 2015, Sony announced on Tuesday. The film had originally been scheduled to open on May 15, 2015. Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Michelle Monaghan, Peter Dinklage and Josh Gad star in the feature based on a short film of the same name by Patrick Jean. The premise follows a scenario in which an alien race misinterprets feeds of classic video games as a declaration of war and attacks Earth, using the video games as models for their attacks.

James plays the President of the United States, who must call on his childhood best friend (Sandler) and a team of gamers to defeat the aliens and save the planet. Tim Herlihy and Timothy Dowling wrote the screenplay. The film is produced by Adam Sandler, Chris Columbus, Mark Radcliffe, and Allen Covert. Executive Producers are Barry Bernardi, Michael Barnathan, Jack Giarraputo, Heather Parry, Tim Herlihy, Steve Koren, Patrick Jean, Benjamin Darras, Johnny Alves, Matias Boucard, Seth Gordon, and Ben Waisbren. The film, a Columbia Pictures presentation in association with LStar Capital, is a Happy Madison / 1492 Films production in association with One More Production.--Reuters
