Justin Bieber Posts Bible Verses After Another Racist Video Surfaced

Justin Bieber seemingly responded to racism controversy surrounding him with Bible verses. A few hours after news of him using N-word and joking about joining the Klu Klux Klan emerged on Wednesday, June 4, the Canadian heartthrob took to Instagram to address the issue.
"When your sins weigh heavily upon you, come to Me," read the passage. "Confess your wrong doing, which I know all about before you say a word. Stay in the Light of My Presence, receiving forgiveness, cleansing, and healing. Remember that I have clothed you in My Righteousness, so nothing can separate you from Me. 

Whenever you stumble or fall, I am there to help you up."  

"Man's tendency is to hide from his sin, seeking refuge in the darkness. there he indulges in self-pity, denial,self-righteousness, blaming,and hatred. but I am the Light of the world,and My illumination decimates the darkness. Come close to Me and let My Light envelop you, driving out darkness and permeating you with peace".

He also quoted 1John 1:7; Isaiah 61:10 and John 8:12. The singer did not directly mention the controversial video.

Before Bieber uploaded the post, his manager Scooter Braun also left a similar message about making mistake on his Instagram. It read, "Some mistakes have no excuses. They are just wrong. But how a man reacts to those mistakes... How he owns it and learns from it... That defines him more than the mistake itself."
Just a few days after Bieber apologized for using N-word in an old video, another clip of Bieber changing the lyrics of his song "One Less Lonely Girl" to "One Less Lonely N****" arrived online. "If I kill you, I'll be part of the KKK, and there will be one less lonely n**ger," he sang in the video, obtained by TMZ.

Cesc Fabregas gone from Barca- Pique

Gerard Pique has created further intrigue surrounding the future of Cesc Fabregas, by getting recorded saying that the playmaker is leaving Barcelona in a 33-million-euro deal.

Pique was talking to Spanish manager Vicente Del Bosque ahead of a scheduled news conference and seemed to say Fabregas had told him he was leaving for an unnamed club, only for microphones to pick up their exchange -- but there remains the possibility it was a deliberate attempt at leading the media astray.

Renowned as a practical joker, Pique could be seen smiling throughout the conversation with Del Bosque. At the same time, the discussion would appear a development of information already known about Fabregas' situation, and there was a conspicuous candidness about the way both spoke.

Barcelona are known to be open to the idea of selling Cesc and, on sitting down to face media, Pique told his coach he was going "to defend Cesc a bit."

Del Bosque laughed before the defender added: "He's told me it's already done."

When asked by his manager, "Him?" Pique responded: "Yeah, he's gone ... 33 million, he's told me."

Both Chelsea and Manchester United are known to have some interest in signing Fabregas, but that so far does not extend to the managers. Sources have stated that both Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho would at present prefer to strengthen in other areas.

While Fabregas has become more of an advanced attacking midfielder, Van Gaal is said to favour a more physical type who plays a little further back.

Kanye West beef up daughter North's security as he 'fears for her safety'

He has expressed his concern in the past over his daughter North's safety in the public eye.

And now Kanye West apparently is taking 'drastic measures' to protect his little girl with wife Kim Kardashian.

The 36-year-old allegedly was upset over all pictures taken of the 10-month-old during his and Kim's wedding festivities last month, and he is motivated to take extra precautions to keep her safe.

Kim and Kanye have been arguing over all of the exposure North got during the wedding.

'He was frustrated that the baby was in public so much and he wants to make sure that now that all of those festivities are over that she’s protected.'

He has been vocal in the past about not wanting North's picture taken by the papparazzi and the couple's friends, but the source insists it's not a 'control issue.'

'Kanye isn’t trying to control any press about North. He’s genuinely afraid for her safety and doesn’t want people to be able to track her every move,' said the insider.

The first-time father is exploring various options to better protect the tot. 

'He is talking to other really rich and famous people about how they keep their kids safe and what extra precautions he can take. He isn’t taking any chances.'

Ghanaian Witch doctor behind Ronaldo injury?

Firebrand Ghanaian spiritualist Kwaku Bonsam says he is responsible for Portuguese striker Cristiano Ronaldo’s injury. This news comes barely days leading up to the World Cup in Brazil. Bonsam says his aim is to prevent the Real Madrid striker from playing against Ghana in the group stages, and possibly beyond that.

News broke last week of Ronaldo’s ailment, triggering a hushed celebration from Ghanaian soccer fans who secretly dread the national team playing the Portuguese team with Ronaldo in striking position.

A statement issued by the Portuguese FA on Wednesday, confirmed that the 2008 FIFA Player of The Year was diagnosed with tendonitis in his left kneecap area, and is also nursing a muscle problem in his left thigh. Tendonitis is an inflammation, irritation and swelling of tendons, and even though this is quite a common condition with athletes, Kwaku Bonsam claims he is responsible for that condition, and that no doctor can cure it until Ghana is clear from Ronaldo’s reach.

“I said it four months ago, that I will work on Cristiano Ronaldo seriously and rule him out of the World Cup, or at least prevent him from playing against Ghana, and the best thing I can do is to keep him out through injury." he said on the Ghana-based Angel FM in Kumasi.

"I am very serious about it. Last week, I went around looking for four dogs and I got them to be used in manufacturing a special spirit called ‘Kahwiri Kapam’"he added.

“This injury can never be cured by any medic, they can never see what is causing the injury, because it is spiritual. Today, it is his knee, tomorrow it is his thigh, next day, and it is something else.”

Ronaldo missed the 0-0 game with Greece over the weekend, and is also likely to miss Portugal’s World Cup warm-up matches against Mexico, and Ireland. It is however not clear if he will recuperate early on time for the World Cup.

Ghana plays Portugal on June 26 in Brasilia, in their final Group G match. Group G comprises Germany, USA, Portugal and Ghana.

A book covered in the skin of a dead woman- confirmed by Harvard scientists

This book is covered in human flesh. Really.

Harvard scientists confirmed today that a volume in one of its libraries contained a book that is “without a doubt” bound in human skin.

The phenomenon is called anthropodermic bibliopegy and it used to be fairly common until — well, frankly, we stopped doing that kind of thing.

There were three such books suspected to be in the Harvard libraries, but testing found that two of the three were actually bound in sheepskin.

The final book in the triumvirate is authentically human.

French novelist and poet Arsène Houssaye’s Des destinées de l’ame, housed in Harvard’s Houghton Library, is described as a “collection of essays meditating on the human spirit,” according to Samuel Jacobs’s archival account in the Crimson:

Houghton’s associate librarian for collections, Thomas Horrocks, describes the light volume as one of the author’s lesser works.

Be that as it may, probably the most remarkable thing about the book is its creepy inscription.

Houssaye reveals that the book’s binding is the human skin taken from the back of a woman, specifically an unclaimed body of a female mental patient who died of a stroke, according to Heather Cole, Houghton’s assistant curator of modern books & manuscripts.

“By looking carefully you easily distinguish the pores of the skin,” Houssaye wrote. “A book about the human soul deserved to have a human covering.”

Using a process called peptide mass fingerprinting, scientists were able to use microscopic samples of the covering to eliminate the possibility that the book was made out of other common binding materials like sheep, cattle or goat skin.

“The analytical data, taken together with the provenance of Des destinées de l’ame, make it very unlikely that the source could be other than human,” said Bill Lane,  director of the Harvard Mass Spectrometry and Proteomics Resource Laboratory, in a blog post explaining the findings.

So there you have it. The real thing that we might all wish had been fake.
