More entertainment gist on the block.
The Cultural Bureau of Beijing has published a statement to the media, Friday explaining that unspecified misdeeds of the 23-year-old Canadian pop star meant that he would no longer be welcome on Chinese stages. OUCH!
"Justin Bieber is a gifted singer, no doubt, but he is also a controversial young foreign idol," the bureau said while responding to a fan's request for a "detailed explanation" about the absence of China dates during Bieber's upcoming world tour.
"As far as we are concerned, he has engaged in a series of bad behaviors, both in his social life and during a previous performance in China, which caused discontent among the public."
