Justin Bieber Hangs Up on Interviewer Over Justin Timberlake Comparisons, Harry Styles Questions
Justin Bieber did not take too kindly to questions on the "Mojo in the Morning" radio show recently, quickly becoming agitated and ultimately hanging up.
Comparisons to Justin Timberlake were the main catalyst, with references to Bieber's mom and One Direction's Harry Styles the apparent final straw.
“I hope you take this as a compliment,” stated Mojo. “When I heard 'Boyfriend' for the very first time. I thought it was Justin Timberlake's single.”
Justin Bieber was far from flattered. “Man, that’s crazy because our voices sound nothing alike," he said. "I mean, I'm not trying to sound like anyone."
"Saying I sound like someone else is not really a compliment. ... if you were to say 'I heard some Justin Timberlake-esque things,' I would take that as a compliment."
That minor stiff was nothing compared to the reaction he had when Mojo decided to bring up Bieber's mother and One Direction singer Harry Styles.
After the radio host joked that Styles might end up seducing his mother, given his penchant for older women, Bieber went on the offensive.
"I don't think you should worry about me [and my mom with Harry Styles]," the 18-year-old sensation said. "Worry about your mom, bro."
Mojo then noted that his mom had passed away, right before Bieber peaced out. Awkward. What do you think of Bieber's reaction in hanging up?

Morsi to take oath as first Egypt civilian president
Mohamed Morsi, champion of the long-banned Muslim Brotherhood, was poised to take the oath on Saturday as Egypt's first civilian president, launching a tricky cohabitation with the military.
In a display of the popular mandate he claims after his run-off win in a divisive presidential election, Morsi addressed a huge crowd on Friday in Cairo's Tahrir Square, epicentre of the Arab Spring uprising that ousted veteran strongman Hosni Mubarak early last year.
In his speech to tens of thousands of jubilant supporters, the Islamist, who resigned from the Brotherhood after his election win, was careful to reach out to Egypt's Christian minority of some 10 percent.
He promised a "civilian state" and praised "the square of the revolution, the square of freedom," in what he called an address to "the free world, Arabs, Muslims... the Muslims of Egypt, Christians of Egypt."
Morsi symbolically swore himself in before the crowd, saying: "I swear to preserve the republican system... and to preserve the independence" of Egypt.
"I am one of you. I fear only God," he told supporters, some of whom had waited from early in the day for his appearance.
Before his triumphant arrival, chants against the ruling military -- which took over on Mubarak's overthrow -- rang out as people gathered under a searing sun.
In his speech, Morsi served Washington advance warning that his policies will be markedly different from those of his ousted predecessor, a staunch US ally before the 18-day uprising in January and February last year forced him out.
The president-elect said he would work to secure freedom for Omar Abdul Rahman, a blind Egyptian cleric jailed for life over the 1993 World Trade Centre bombing.
"I will do everything in my power to secure freedom for... detainees, including Sheikh Omar Abdul Rahman," Morsi said.
Abdul Rahman was convicted in 1995 for his role in the World Trade Centre attack, plotting to bomb other New York targets including the United Nations, and a plan to assassinate Mubarak.
After taking the oath, Morsi will have to square up against the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF), led by Mubarak's longtime defence minister Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi, which took over on the strongman's overthrow and will retain broad powers.
The liberal Wafd newspaper reported that Tantawi will remain defence minister.
But a defiant Morsi, whose predecessors as president have all been generals, threw down the gauntlet to the SCAF, while addressing the people directly.
"You are the source of power and legitimacy... there is no place for anyone or any institution... above this will," he told them. "I renounce none of the prerogatives of president."
Morsi was to take the oath of office before the Constitutional Court, not parliament as convention provides, after the top court ordered the disbanding of the Islamist-dominated legislature elected in Egypt's first post-Mubarak polls.
The military subsequently assumed legislative powers and also formed a powerful national security council headed by the president but dominated by generals.
By agreeing to be sworn in by the Constitutional Court, Morsi is effectively recognising the court's decision to dissolve parliament.
The SCAF also reserves the right to appoint a new constituent assembly should the one elected by parliament be disbanded by a court decision expected on September 1.
The Muslim Brotherhood insists that only parliament can appoint the assembly.
Media reports said Morsi was consulting a cross-section of Egyptian society before appointing a premier and a cabinet mostly made up of technocrats.
In a meeting with Egyptian newspaper editors reported by most dailies on Friday, Morsi pledged there would be "no Islamisation of state institutions" during his presidency.
Morsi has already met Tantawi, as well as a delegation from the Sunni body Al-Azhar, and another representing Egypt's Coptic church.
International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde has told Morsi that the lender stands ready to help Egypt, whose tourism-dependent economy has taken a battering during the upheaval that accompanied Mubarak's overthrow, a spokeswoman said on Friday.
As his successor prepared to take the oath, the ousted strongman was in a Cairo military hospital, in low morale and slipping in and out of a coma, according to hospital officials.
"The former president has been greatly affected by the news of Morsi's presidential victory," said one official at the hospital where Mubarak was transferred last week from the prison where he had been serving a life sentence over his involvement in the deaths of protesters in the uprising.

Colorado Rockies
Closer: Rafael Betancourt
Understudy/Fill-in: Matt Belisle, Rex Brothers
Lurkers: Matt Reynolds
You caught a glimpse of Betancourt's problems (lack of opportunities and his own misdoings) last week. Following his June 20 botch job that put him under the microscope, he ran off three straight scoreless appearances (two saves), although he had to work around a pinch of trouble in the last two.
He slipped up again on Thursday, allowing a leadoff jack to Bryce Harper that tied the game and produced Betancourt's fourth blown save in 16 tries this year, including his third of the month. It was the third tater he allowed in 2012, and he's about on pace to meet last year's seven. In reality, he should be on pace to trump that; aerial vulnerability marks his chief weakness.
His four-seam potency has decreased notably, but thanks to his cutter, his K/9 (9.42) and BB/9 (2.20) remain elite skills, and he's still delivering a top-shelf swinging-strike rate (13.9, significantly above the Fangraphs average of 8.9). But his mistakes are costly and, as noted in our previous in-depth look, are reaching outfielders more frequently.
The Rox look like they'll man a booth at the July 31 flea market and still have plenty of positives to sell regarding the righty. Betancourt was on one exec's list of potentially available relief arms, per ESPN.com's Jayson Stark.
Now for a non-Betancourt bullpen: Belisle isn't as dominant as Brothers, but his lack of walks and pattern of deployment in eighth-inning holds that protect save situations indicates he'd be the first choice. Brothers has more upside for fantasy help with his plethora of K's, though, so he'd probably factor in on some opps, if not take over eventually.
Job security score: 3
Health score: 5
Mound meetings
Joe Maddon confirmed what most of the fantasy world assumed: Fernando Rodney will remain closer even after the return of Kyle Farnsworth (elbow), which could come this weekend. Rodney's revelation is for real, and while he'll probably come back to earth a tad, he'll have plenty of rope.
***
Though it may take more than Thursday's blown save to erase Brett Myers' real-life trade value, it didn't help that it marked the second time in his last five outings he gave up at least five runs. His velocity has been OK, but he has fanned just five in 9 1/3 June frames.
This time, only one of six tallies was earned, but the four hits allowed shows how hittable he's been lately: 6.75 ERA, 2.04 WHIP. He plunked Carlos Quentin to force in a run and gave up a grand slam to pint-sized Alexi Amarista.
There's a palpable chance Myers won't be a closer after July 31, but if he continues to struggle, GM Jeff Luhnow might find it difficult to ditch him. Plan for both outcomes with your own squad and refresh yourself on the Houston Astros' speculative train. The front car is Brandon Lyon.
***
Rafael Soriano's job security was boosted Thursday, and he didn't even pitch. The New York Yankees gave him the night off after he pitched four of the last five games. Joe Girardi tried to piece together a save chance with Cody Eppley and Clay Rapada.
When they didn't work, he was forced to go to David Robertson, whom he's trying to preserve because of his recent return from the DL; the righty appeared on Wednesday, as well. After the two setup guys each put a runner on - one from a throwing error - D-Rob surrendered a three-run homer to lose the lead and the game.
Robertson is worth owning everywhere, but it doesn't look like Soriano, despite recent struggles, is in imminent danger.

Apple Galaxy Nexus Injunction - Business Insider
Steve Kovach, Business Insider |
Reuters was the first to report the news.?
The decision was made by judge Lucy Koh, the same judge who granted Apple's injunction against Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet earlier this week.
Koh's ruling says the Galaxy Nexus is too similar to the Apple's devices to not be considered a patent infringement.
Apple claims the Galaxy Nexus infringes on several of its patents for the iPhone.?
Apple will have to post a $95 million bond to uphold the Galaxy Nexus ban until the case goes to trial, according to Reuters. That figure is cover potential damages should a trial determine Samsung is not infringing on Apple's patents.
The Galaxy Nexus is Google's flagship Android device. It's one of the few devices that run the unaltered, latest version of Android called Ice Cream Sandwich. It'll also be one of the first phones to get the new version of Android, called Jelly Bean, in mid July.
Google gave about 6,000 developers and members of the press a free Galaxy Nexus at its big I/O developers conference this week.
A Google spokesperson said,?"We're disappointed with this decision, but we believe the correct result will be reached as more evidence comes to light."
Apple ignored requests for comment.

Officers in Mexico airport drug ring identified
MEXICO CITY?? Mexican authorities have identified two federal police officers who shot dead three of their colleagues at Mexico City's international airport this week and say the shooters were part of a trafficking ring that flew in cocaine from Peru.
Luis Cardenas Palomino, the federal police's regional security chief, said Thursday that the slain officers were trying to arrest officer Zeferino Morales Franco at the food court of the airport's Terminal 2 when agent Daniel Cruz Garcia arrived and shot the arresting officers from behind.
Authorities are also looking for a third officer, Bogard Felipe Lugo de Leon, who is the suspects' supervisor and who abandoned his post at the airport shortly after the shooting, Palomino said. The three remain at large.
The government is offering a $360,000 reward leading to the capture of the officers, who Palomino described as "traitors."
Photographs on Lugo's Facebook page show him holding a high-powered rifle and handguns, and posing in front of his patrol car or a federal police airplane. He also has photos of himself carrying a baby girl he identifies as his 7-month-old daughter.
Lugo's comments on his Facebook page seem to suggest he was recently assigned to Mexico City's airport and that before then he was in the resort city of Cancun.
Palomino said that for several months authorities had been investigating a cocaine trafficking ring that involved passengers arriving from Peru's capital, Lima. He said other government officials working at the airport are involved but didn't identify them.
"We know there must be other authorities involved in trafficking and that's what we are investigating," he said.
Passengers would allegedly bring cocaine hidden on their body or in their luggage, and drop it off in bathrooms before reaching the immigration and customs check area.
Corrupt officials would then circle back to pick up the drugs, Palomino said.
The federal Public Safety Department had conducted an 18-month investigation into corrupt federal police officers and other officials who were part of the alleged cocaine trafficking ring. The operation has seized 648 pounds (294 kilograms) of cocaine at the airport, Palomino said.

Since January, seven passengers arriving from Lima have been detained carrying cocaine, he added.
On Monday, the day of the shooting, federal officers watching surveillance cameras saw Morales go into a bathroom shortly after the arrival of a flight from Lima. Two officers approached Morales once he was in the food court area and told their boss in a radio call that he was carrying drugs; that's when the officers were attacked, Palomino said.
A third officer who was nearby for support fired at the attackers but he was wounded and later died at a hospital, he said.
The shooting sent terrified people waiting for their flights diving to the floor for protection.
Palomino said Morales and Garcia got away in a taxi. He said phone records show Morales called Lugo as he was leaving the airport.
Surveillance cameras captured Lugo leaving in his own car, he said.

Real Estate Tips: Types of Foreclosures
If you are one of the many homeowners who is continuing to struggle with making your mortgage payment, a foreclosure may be an inevitable part of your future. While no one wants to default on a loan and face the consequences of a foreclosure, it is always in your best interest to learn as much about the process as you possibly can. One step in learning about the process is to gain a better understanding of the types of foreclosures that you could be facing. Whether regarding Nashville Condos or?Warner Robins Real Estate, here is a look at the two basic legal forms of foreclosure that you may encounter.
Nonjudicial Foreclosure
If you are not able to pay your loan within a certain amount of time, the bank will give you notice that it intends to sell your property. The bank will then sell the property and use the money it receives to pay off the mortgage loan. In most states, the bank cannot require you to pay the difference between the foreclosure sale price and the amount you still owed on the loan.
In all, the nonjudicial foreclosure process typically takes just one or two months to complete. This is partially because the bank does not need to obtain a court order before it can sell your home.
Judicial Foreclosure
The primary difference between a nonjudicial and a judicial foreclosure is that the bank must go through the court as part of the process. While the exact procedures may vary somewhat from state to state, the first step typically involves sending a notice of default to the homeowner. If you fail to repay the loan within a certain period of time, the bank must then file a court complaint. A lis pendens is then filed in the recorder???s office to let anyone who is interested in the party know that foreclosure proceedings have started. Next, a settlement will be held and a judgment will be entered. After the property is sold, the bank can get a deficiency judgment against you if the sale price is less than what you owed.
