Being out of the country with no interest in communicating with the outside world makes coming back to the real world somewhat overwhelming. Tons of good things happened over the last few days and since being late to the game is my specialty, today may just be all about “catching up.”
To the jump!
Via the Chicago Sun Times: As if he didn’t have enough troubles, Justin Bieber was facing the prospect of several nights in Europe without a monkey. When he arrived in Munich on Thursday for some concert dates, Bieber lacked the paperwork to bring his capuchin monkey into Germany, a customs spokesman told the AP. Authorities put the critter in quarantine.
What’s the big deal here? Do you think the Biebs is walking around with the monkey from Outbreak? I imagine this monkey is good to go. Who cares about some papers? Look, the Biebs is obviously going through some things right now and I’m not surprised. What the hell did you think was going to happen to the kid? He’s 19, doesn’t get a free moment from the press and is in the middle of a world tour. On top of that, every single move he makes is scrutinized by the media. On top of that, earlier this year, a member of the paparazzi died trying to chase down the Biebs. Pretty sure I’d be going through somethings myself in his situation.
Let the guy have his monkey and back off Germany.
