Pop star Justin Bieber faces an arrest warrant by an Argentine judge, who claims the singer failed to respond to summons related to allegations that he ordered bodyguards to attack a photographer in 2013. Judge Alberto Julio Banos ordered the “immediate detention” of Bieber and bodyguards Hugo Alcides Hesny and Terrence Reche Smalls, reported Billboard. It was not immediately clear whether the warrant would extend beyond Argentina. Bieber, 21, is accused of sending the bodyguards to attack photographer Diego Pesoa outside a Buenos Aires nightclub. Bieber reportedly never returned to Argentina to respond to questions about the incident. Under Argentine law, Bieber would face from one month to six years in prison if convicted on a charge of causing injuries. An email sent to a Bieber representative was not immediately returned. (PTI)
Zayn Malik needs to get his head together: Simon Cowell
Music mogul Simon Cowell, who discovered Zayn Malik and the other One Direction members, believes the young singer needs some own time. “He’s a fantastic singer. Look, he’s got to get his head together a little bit. He needs some time on his own, as he said, to be a normal 22-year-old, which he’s gonna have,” he said. Cowell, who signed One Direction to his record label Syco Records after they finished third on the UK’s The X Factor in 2010, went on expressing his support for Zayn and the remaining One Direction members. “I’ve always said to all of them, the future’s bright depending on what you want to do. We’ve always hoped that One Direction would stay together for a long time and my hunch is it still will. They’re just too good for everything to stop now.” (PTI)
