JUSTIN BIEBER LOSES CONTROL - LASHES OUT AT PHOTOGRAPHER

Justin Bieber really had a bad time in London... he was the focus of most of our Trending 3 last week and hes kicking off this week in the news for lashing out at a photographer...The altercation kicked off as the 19-year-old star and his entourage moved a group of photographers out of the way as they left his central London hotel on Friday afternoon. As the Canadian singer got into his waiting vehicle, the snappers protested that they had been assaulted, and labeled the teen idol a little moron. After one of the group shouted that Justin should "f**k off back to America," the singer lost his temper and launched into a foul-mouthed rant at the photographers...now canceled a date in Portugal.

WOMAN SUES CHURCH AFTER THEY BANNED HUSBAND'S NASCAR HEADSTONE

Have you ever thought about what you would want on your Tombstone? One Indiana woman is fighting for her right to put a headstone shaped like a couch and features images of a deer, a dog and color logos of NASCAR and the Indianapolis Colts in a cemetery for her husband.

The Rev. Jonathan Meyer, priest at St. Joseph Catholic Church, notified the monument maker that the headstone didn't meet the cemetery's standards and couldn't be placed in the church's century-old graveyard. But Carr says ithey never produced any regulations for the plot until more than a year after she tried to have the headstone installed in 2010.... she spent over 9 grand on the headstone!
