Maybe it time for a better belt Bieber? Justin's trousers fall down in public

By Daily Mail Reporter


Pesky pants: Justin Bieber nearly lost his trousers on the streets of Spain yesterday after stepping out in a pair of low cut jeans


Low rise jeans for men is a style that has been around for some time now.

But Justin Bieber took the trend a bit too far and nearly lost his trousers on the streets of Spain yesterday.

Despite wearing a studded belt, the 17-year-old heartthrob was forced to keep hiking up his pesky pants.


And luckily there wasn't a throng of female fans that are usually on hand to witness the sighting.

Because Bieber exposed more than he bargained for with his backside covered by some purple material on display.

Justin paired his urban look with an oversized red sweater and a baseball cap by Obey - a popular street-wear label founded by American contemporary artist Shepard Fairey.

The teen star accessorised the look with some black high-top sneakers and a large diamond encrusted medallion - popular with many famous rap stars such as Pharrell Williams and Snoop Dogg.

He was spotted in the outfit whilst grabbing a snack at McDonald's in the capital of Madrid.

Accompanied by burly minders, the Never Say Never Star indulged in a beverage while one of the bodyguards carried some lunch.

Some say that the ultra-low-rise pants look for young men originated in jails, where prisoners aren't allowed to wear belts.

But it's has turned into fashion statement these days with many young boys embracing the trend.

Justin also donned a similar look for the Spanish premiere of his popular film Never Say Never this evening.

He wore another pair of low slung jeans in light grey which he paired with a matching hoodie by Kings Rowe and some trainers.

Justin is in Spain for two shows of his My World tour.

But whilst busy with his day job, the singer has found time to have fun too.
Yesterday he proved himself to be something of a natural left-foot as he took to the football pitch.

He was spotted working up a sweat in a Barcelona FC kit on the outskirts of Madrid.

After tearing up the AstroTurf for a while the star managed to score a goal as he competed against some local teens.

And in true sporting tradition, Justin lifted up his top and bared his chest to celebrate his victory.

Before his trip to Spain, Bieber was in Berlin performing.

During one of the concerts he decided to give his mother a special birthday treat by presenting her with a cake on stage, but it all went terribly wrong when her hair caught on fire.

The teen sensation surprised mother Pattie when he asked her to come out on stage.

‘Mum, where are you?’ He said in front of thousands of screaming fans and encouraged her to step out from backstage.

Pattie mouthed ‘Oh my god! Thank you.’ As her son said: ‘This is for you, and I need everyone to sing happy birthday.’

But as the crowd belted out the song and Pattie started to blow out her birthday cake candles, her hair suddenly caught on fire from one of the flames.Justin quickly jumped to his mother’s rescue though and caught the flame in his hand to put it out.

After the incident the singer posted on his Twitter page: ‘Sick show in Berlin brought @studiomama on stage 2 sing her happy bday but she lit her hair on fire with the candles. Lol. I saved her. ‘Don’t worry it wasn’t bad.’

His mother, who is also his manager, turned 35 during his My World Tour through Europe.

Meanwhile Justin is up for awards for a new breed of MTV Award Show - the OMA's, which stands for the O Music Awards.

The awards celebrate talent in digital music.

The OMAs will be held on April 28 across multiple platforms and screens including MTV.com, VH1.com, and LogoTV.com and will include heavy integration with social media.

Voting for the awards is due to start soon in the US.

A send off worthy of a hip-hop hero: Music stars gather to say goodbye to rapper Nate Dogg

By Anita Bennett


Farewell to a friend: Snoop Dogg and his wife Shante Broadus attend Nate Dogg's funeral today in Long Beach, California


Family and friends including superstar rappers Snoop Dogg, Warren G and The Game braved rainy weather to say their goodbyes to West Coast hip-hop star Nate Dogg.

About 2,000 people, including several hundred fans gathered today in Long Beach, California to pay their respects to the 41-year-old musician whose birth name was Nathaniel Dwayne Hale.

As Nate Dogg's loved ones gathered at the Queen Mary Dome, a popular cruise ship terminal, a white hearse arrived carrying the late musician's body.

Nate Dogg helped pioneer the G-funk or gangsta-funk, genre of hip-hop which samples funk music with singing, multi-layered melodic synthesizers and heavy bass.

Nate also had an amazing singing voice which was featured on a string of hip-hop hits.

The music legend died on March 15, after a lengthy battle with stroke-like symptoms.

He first suffered a stroke in 2007, which the left one side of his body paralysed.

Then in 2008, he endured his second stroke and remained out of the spotlight up to his death.

Before becoming ill, he collaborated with some of the biggest names in rap music including Dr. Dre, Eminem, Ice Cube, Xzibit, Ludacris, often singing the hooks on their songs.

The day that Nate Dogg died, his buddy Snoop Dogg paid tribute via Twitter, describing him as a ‘true legend of hip-hop and R&B.’

He added: ‘[Nate] was one of my best friends and a brother to me since 1986 when I was a sophomore at Poly High [Long Beach Polytechnic High School] where we met.

'I love you buddy. You will always be with me forever and a day. You put the ‘G’ in ‘G funk’, you put the ‘1’ in ‘213’ and you put your stamp on everybody you ever did it with.

I miss you because I am so sad but so happy I got to grow up with you, and I will see you again in heaven, because you know the slogan ‘all dogs go to heaven.’ "

After hearing of his death, R&B singer Erykah Badu also tweeted: ‘Nate Dogg… freshness period. Rest in beats’.

While comedian Dave Chappelle wrote: ‘Moment of silence for a hip-hop legend; RIP Nate Dogg. You will be missed, G Funk Era forever. #natedogg.’

Nate Dogg first found fame on Dr Dre’s album The Chronic, on which he was a guest and his hit Regulate with Warren G reached No 5 in the charts in 1994.

He then released three solo albums, the first in 1998 titled G-Funk Classics, Vol 1 & 2, Music And Me in 2001 and a self-titled LP in 2004.
