JUSTIN BIEBER ARREST VIDEO CLIPS RELEASED
MIAMI (AP) — Have you seen the latest Justin Bieber videos? They don't include music — or even voices. And they certainly aren't pretty. The teenage singer is seen walking unsteadily — and even appears to stumble — while performing a sobriety test. The video was taken last month, shortly after The Beeb was arrested on driving under the influence and other charges — after being caught drag racing on a public street. Of the 10 hours of video released by Miami-Dade County prosecutors, only a few moments actually show Bieber. In one clip, Bieber wobbles as he tries to walk carefully and slowly heel to toe. As he turns, he stumbles slightly and seems to hold his arms out to help him keep his balance. In a second try, he even reaches out to a wall for support — then has what appears to be a heated conversation with a police officer — with both pointing fingers at each other.
The clips were released after requests were made by various news organizations — including The Associated Press.

JUSTIN BIEBER SECURITY GUARD ADMITS TO TAKING CAMERA FROM PHOTOGRAPHER
ATLANTA (AP) — Justin Bieber's security guard says he did it. The guard admits he did take a camera from a photographer who was shooting pictures of the singer. But the security man says he did it to delete photos of Bieber taken outside an arcade near Atlanta where the visited on Tuesday. Police documents quote photographer Jason Winslow as saying Bieber security guard Hugo Hesny saw him shooting in a parking lot outside the arcade — and told him to leave. Winslow kept shooting photos from farther away then Hesny chased him down, opened the door to his vehicle, took Winslow's camera — and drove off. Bieber wasn't involved in the incident. But the bodyguard faces a battery charge in South Florida. Police say he grabbed a photographer by the neck and pushed him outside a recording studio back in June as he tried to take pictures of Bieber.
BIEBER BODYGUARD CORRECTIVE
SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. (AP) — In a story about the arrest of a bodyguard for Justin Bieber, The Associated Press reported erroneously, based on incorrect information from police, that the singer's driver was arrested and charged with stealing a photographer's camera. Police told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the driver, 49-year-old driver Terrance Johnson, was detained by police but later released and never charged. %href_on(http://www.robinthicke.com/news/robin-thicke-tour-statement

But before he takes the stage, he is thanking his fans for their support. He's been through a tough stretch the past week; he had to cancel two tour dates last week because he lost his voice and scrubbed Tuesday's show in North Carolina because of what he called "unforeseen circumstances." Another "circumstance" — he and wife Paula Patton announced the other day that they are splitting after nine years of marriage. In a posting on his Web site, Thicke expresses thanks "for the well wishes these last few days.'' ___
