Anne Frank A "Belieber?"
Justin Bieber has caused quite a bit of controversy after a visit to the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam this past weekend. He left a message in the museum's guestbook saying, "Truly inspiring to be able to come here. Anne was a great girl. Hopefully she would have been a belieber."
The tourist site posted the message on its Facebook page.
Fans and non-fans were outraged by the comment and took to social networks immediately with their own messages.
One person tweeted: Astonished by the arrogance of Justin Bieber writing in the guestbook at Anne Frank's house that he hoped she would be a 'Belieber'. Please!
Another tweeted: Justin Bieber said that he hoped Anne Frank would have been a belieber.... Hasn't she suffered enough?
Annemarie Bekker, the spokeswoman for the Anne Frank House, spoke on the matter. "We think he meant it well. He's only 19 years old and living in a crazy world ... with all girls being fans of him worldwide. Maybe that is also why he wrote it down."
The "Beauty and A Beat" singer is currently in Europe for his "Believe" tour. He has yet to address his comment about Anne Frank.

Drake on Chris Brown Feud: "Just Let Us Solve That Sh-t."
Drake and Chris Brown have been at odds for some time now. Last June, the two got into an altercation at W.I.P. that resulted in a chin injury for Brown.
Patrick Strickland, Brown's bodyguard, is now sewing both the rapper and singer for the injuries he sustained during the altercation at W.I.P. where he claims that the fight started when Drake sent a note saying, "I'm f**king the love of your life."
The "5am Toronto" rapper did an interview with Keep It Thoro host Elliot Wilson on Friday, where he says not to ask him about the R&B singer. "Don't ask me sh*t about that man when I come up there and leave that man alone. Stop preying on his insecurities."
He goes on to say, "His insecurities are the fact that I make better music than him, that I'm more popping than him and that at one point in life the woman that he loves fell into my lap. I did what a real n***a would do and treated her with respect, so she's not up there talking down on me."
Drake continues on to say to just let them solve their issue alone. "It shouldn't be about tearing that man down, it shouldn't be about wanting to see me and him tear each other down. We have an issue and it's either gonna drag out or maybe in ten years we'll laugh about it over drinks. Just let us solve that sh-t."
Breezy's response: lol.
Things don't seem to be getting better, but it doesn't seem to be getting worse either.

Kris Humphries: No-Show to Mandatory Settlement Hearing
While Kardashian showed up to the hearing on time, Humphries was at a shoot-around practice before a Friday night game in Indiana.
An unidentified source told TMZ that Judge Hank Goldberg was livid to the point where he scheduled a sanctions hearing. Due to his absence, the Brooklyn Nets power forward could get hit with fines.
This no show could potentially hurt Humphries case against Kardashian. He claims Kardashian only married him because of her reality show, but has yet to provide any particulars for his fraud claim.

The infamous Mission Impossible actor says that he was surprised Holmes filed for divorce on June 29, just five days before his birthday.

A Baby Boy for Halle and Olivier!
The Catwoman actress appeared on The Wendy Williams Show last fall where she talked about being happy she became a mom at 40. "Im a much better mother at 46, or 41 when I had her, than if I were 21 or 25. I was just a little baby, just trying to figure it out, trying to figure out who I was, let alone have the responsibility of trying to help another little soul develop and grow."
This will be good news for Nahla since she had been praying for a sibling, although it was a sister.

"I hid it from my staff, I didn't want to disappoint my amazing fans," she wrote at the time. "However after last nights performance I could not walk and still can't."
While she was recovering from her surgery, she rolled around in a Louis Vuitton wheelchair (photo below). The woman has style. She was photographed in it last week while on a birthday trip in Chicago. She turned 27 on March 28 and went to the Spiaggia eatery with beau Taylor Kinney, 31.
