–Justin Bieber has raised $40K for charity by selling his recently chopped-off hair.

.

****“Every once in a while, it’s nice to see a pop star give back to the causes they believe in using their excessive fame and income (without wearing raw meat to an awards show like Lady Gaga). But what I don’t understand is why Justin Bieber’s hair is so famous and why someone would pay $40,000 for it. In any case, I like it when pop stars try to do things for their fans.”– ConverseRockstar Chantelle ****

****“Sleigh Bells at the Woodie Awards is fitting as they give one of the most intense live music orgasms ever! I’ve seen them twice and both times I left exhausted from dancing, dripping in sweat and being completely satisfied. Austin, get ready to rock out. If you’re not dancing during Sleigh Bells, then I’m afraid to see what you’re like behind closed doors”– Music Art Or Inspiration By Bekka ****
