Justin Bieber plays the tough guy as he carries a giant spider in his hand (but it's just a toy)

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

No fear: Justin Bieber was spotted in Los Angeles yesterday with a giant spider sitting on his hand


Fake: On closer inspection, it is clear

After surviving a reported fan attack last week, you would think that Justin Bieber would steer clear of any potential fright.

But the 17-year-old teenager was spotted in Los Angeles yesterday with a giant spider sitting in his hand.

Thankfully the eight-legged friend was merely just a toy figurine, and oddly the singing sensation was carrying it around.

Bieber teamed his ghoulish accessory with an aptly themed T-shirt, adorned with white skulls.

He paired the top with beige trousers and his favourite red baseball shoes with matching cap.

Bieber's outing comes after a big night at the BET Awards on Sunday night.
There he joined Nicki Minaj to present the male hip-hop artist which was awarded to Kanye West.

The pop star was left shaken last week, after he survived a reported fan attack.
An undercover NYPD cop was allegedly taken out by one of Justin Bieber's own bodyguards.

The undercover policeman was mistaken for a crazed fan trying to attack the teenage superstar in a bizarre melee that resulted in one of Bieber's own security guards being issued with a summons.

The pint-sized singer was at Macy's department store in New York to promote his new perfume Someday, when the cop was allegedly grabbed by a bodyguard as screaming teenage girls surged towards Bieber.

The plain-clothed officer stepped in to protect the Canadian heartthrob from the crowd surge when an overprotective Bieber bodyguard allegedly grabbed him and tried to pull him away from the boy.

Bieber was reportedly shaken up by the incident, which saw the bodyguard issued a summons for disorderly conduct.

Initial reports from the scene had suggested that a man had jumped the barricades, attacking Bieber and knocking him to the ground - but police have since denied that he was touched or hurt.

‘It was a momentary well-intentioned misunderstanding and the event went well,’ a spokesman for Bieber told the New York Post. ‘He’s completely fine and has no injuries.’

A witness said the Canadian singer shouted: 'What? What?' as the incident happened, before rushing back into the store and not talking to waiting reporters.

Who'd have thought it! Nicki Minaj transformed into a beauty as she ditches outlandish stage outfits

By Daily Mail Reporter


Holding her own: Nicki is the picture of female empowerment as she models a sexy black bodysuit in the latest issue of Elle Magazine


Her outlandish stage outfits and penchant for wigs mean that Nicki Minaj is often seen as a living Barbie - which is just the way she wants it.

So the pared down pop star is unrecognisable in a series of elegant and sexy new photographs.

In place of the brightly coloured wigs and face paint, she posed for fashion bible Elle magazine.

Turning heads: Nicki doesn't need her signature pink hair and outrageous clothes to turn heads, she's pretty in a demure black top too


Dressed in a pair of multi-coloured shorts, a matching top, and wearing very little make-up, the Moment 4 Life rapper showed off her toned midriff and curves.

Wearing a long black wig, Nicki struck a series of provocative poses, some of them in a frilly white dress, and others in a black bodysuit.

Nicki's layout was shot by famous fahion photographer Terry Tsiolis, and shows her wearing designs by Givenchy, Mark Fast and Jean Paul Gaultier.

The dressed down looks are rather out-of-character for the rapper, who is known for her over-the-top wigs and pastel coloured cosmetics, which is fitting since her début album is titled Pink Friday.

Nicki also hopes to inspire others saying she is 'fighting for the girls who never thought they could win.'

Back to the drawing board Nicki: Miss Minaj hits bum note as she steps out in unflattering leather leotard

By Sarah Fitzmaurice


Subtle style? Nicki Minaj appeared to be dressed in an understated style as she arrived at the Christie's Green Auction but the view from the back hit a bum note


We are used to seeing her step out in figure hugging leotards, colour-clashing corsets and mismatching ensembles so when Nicki Minaj arrived at an event in New York last night it appeared she had opted to play it safe with a plain all-black black outfit.

But upon closer inspection it became clear she was dressed in one of her more bizarre and highly-unflattering ensembles to date.

The 26-year-old rapper arrived at the Green Auction event held at the Rockefeller Centre in New York last night in a tight black leather cat suit with black leggings and heeled boots.


Nicki’s appearance from the front was quite understated for the American singing star – despite the blonde and green wig and bright pink lips – and the leotard showed off her tiny waist and her enviable cleavage to perfection.

But while the view from the front was aesthetically pleasing from the back it was a very different style story and the high legged leotard did nothing to flatter her plentiful derriere.

In fact it was apparent the leotard was extremely ill fitting around her bottom and her back.

But badly fitting clothing didn’t stop Nicki from taking to the stage to perform at the Christie’s Green Auction: Bid to Save The Earth event in New York.

Not your best look: Nicki's leotard may have looked good from the front but as she turned round it was ill-fitting across her voluptuous bottom


The singer is no stranger to flaunting her fabulous curves in tight outfits and the night before she treated L’il Wayne and his fans to a lap dance as part of the rapper’s I Am Music tour at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum.

Nicki was dressed in a white and pink futuristic lycra catsuit as she performed on stage before gyrating on top of a lucky man was sat in a chair and appeared to be enjoying the view.

Show must go on: Nicki took to the stage to perform at the Christie's Green Auction Event in New York last night


Minaj, who is no stranger to stealing the spotlight is the latest star to be considered as an X Factor judge.

According to reports she has recently been in secret talks with Cowell.

Minaj met with the mega mogul recently in Los Angeles, where they discussed the possibility of the singer joining the panel.

'Simon thinks Nicki is fantastic. She's sassy, she looks great and she has bags of personality,' a source told the New York Post.

'Nicki has a large following and she fits well with the ethos of the show, which plans to usher in a new generation of musical talent.

'This isn't a done deal yet, but Nicki would be great for the show. She fits the ideal that 'X Factor' will be exciting, vibrant and different. And the show would also be great for her career."

Reps for Cowell have said the rumours are 'early speculation' while Minaj's have made no comment.
