justin beiber in another racial video

Another racially insensitive video featuring Justin Bieber has surfaced.

On Wednesday, the site TMZ posted a video of a then 14-year-old Bieber changing the words to his hit "One Less Lonely Girl" to include the "N-word" and singing about joining the Ku Klux Klan.

A source close to Bieber confirms to CNN that the singer was 14 at the time of the incident and made the recording after he saw a comedian parodying his "One Less Lonely Girl" song online.

In the parody, the comic replaced some of the lyrics with racist words including "n*****," the source said.

In Bieber's video, he sings "There'll be one less lonely n*****" and adds "If I kill you, I'll be part of the KKK."

The source close to the singer added that the teen immediately realized his error and and told his mentors, singer Usher and actor Will Smith, about the video. Usher, who wrote "One Less Lonely Girl," showed Bieber some historically racist videos in an effort to teach him about the hurtful nature of such words, the source said.

Now 20, Bieber reportedly wants to take full responsibility for his youthful actions.

This latest video comes just days after Bieber apologized for another video in which the pop star, then 15, is seen making a racist joke.

In that video, which was also posted on TMZ, Bieber asks, "Why are black people afraid of chain saws?" before answering his own question with the statement "Run n*****, n*****, n*****, n*****," imitating the sound of a chain saw.

"As a young man, I didn't understand the power of certain words and how they can hurt. I thought it was OK to repeat hurtful words and jokes, but didn't realize at the time that it wasn't funny and that in fact my actions were continuing the ignorance," Bieber said in a statement after the release of the first video.

"I take my friendships with people of all cultures very seriously, and I apologize for offending or hurting anyone with my childish and inexcusable mistake. I was a kid then and I am a man now who knows my responsibility to the world and to not make that mistake again."

The source said that over the years, there have been various extortion attempts made with people demanding money from Bieber to not surface the videos.

beyonce rated most influential by forbesand cnn

(CNN) -- Beyonce isn't just one of the world's most influential people . She's also the world's most powerful celebrity, according to Forbes magazine .

The publication has released its annual Celebrity 100 list and has named Queen Bey to the top spot.

When you consider the year she's had, there's little reason to wonder why. After giving what many viewed as a virtually flawless performance at the 2013 Super Bowl Halftime Show , Beyonce hasn't paused, embarking on a grand global tour while also readying the release of her self-titled visual album, "Beyonce."

When that disc arrived to fans' pleasant surprise in December 2013, the singer notched her fifth No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, and sparked a platinum hit with the lead single, "Drunk in Love." (Monica Lewinsky referenced the record when talking about her past with former President Bill Clinton.)

And yet, as Forbes notes, Beyonce's empire isn't limited to the music business. While she's setting out on joint tours with her husband -- they're currently crossing the country with their "On the Run" trek -- Beyonce's also managing her clothing company, line of perfumes, and collaborations with brands like Pepsi and H&M.

All told, Forbes estimates that Beyonce earned roughly $115 million between June 2013 and June 2014. By comparison, her husband made an estimated $60 million, enough to put him in sixth place behind Oprah Winfrey (No. 4 at $82 million) and Ellen DeGeneres (No. 5, at $70 million).

So who's the person standing directly in Beyonce's shadow? That would be basketball star LeBron James, who arrived at No. 2 on Forbes' Celebrity 100 list, having made an estimated $72 million as of June 2014.

Our Nollywood producers just have a penchant for taking advantage of any scenario.

Barely months after the ALUU4 were killed, Nollywood producers released a movie depicting how they died, the movie producers were heavily chastised for being insensitive to the plights of the parents of the boys who died.

From the rise in the sale of Blackberry phones, we had Blackberry Babes, from the unfortunate lynching of 4 University of Port Harcourt students in October 2012 – Aluu4, a movie called “The Four Boys” was produced.

With the abduction of school girls in the Chibok area of Borno state, there have been at least two movies released.

Now they’re at it again, Nollywood producers have gone ahead to release a movie on the kidnapped schoolgirls who were taken from Chibok, Borno state: One is titled – The Missing School Girls…There is God O and another – Lost Students (Zero Squad) Part 1 & 2.

Hollywood is fond of also making movies centered around real stories, but we haven’t heard any report that a movie on the Malaysian airline that crashed is ongoing.

For an industry that wants to compete with the likes of Bollywood and Hollywood, this is not a good way to go about movie production as even the girls the movie is about are yet to be rescued.

Ghanaian actor John Dumelo has mocked bubbly actress Yvonne Nelson who claims she has not had sex since January this year.

The actress disclosed during a conversation with John on Tuesday that since January 2014, she had starved herself of sex.

John Dumelo posted a video of the conversation on photo sharing site Instagram Tuesday and deleted it shortly after but the prying eyes of a Ghanaian blog was quick to save a copy before the deletion.

In what looked like they were on a movie location, John asked the actress, “So you’ve not had sex since January?” to which Yvonne swiftly responded, “Yes since…”

The award winning actor then jokingly jabbed, “then you have cobwebs over there.”

Yvonne concurred, “I’m telling you.” A clearly amused John Dumelo, together with some persons on location with them, burst into an uncontrollable laughter.

This will not be the first time Yvonne Nelson is disclosing that she is sex starved.

During a revealing interview on The Juice with Toolz last year, while talking about her relationship with Nigerian musician, Iyanya, she revealed that she had not had sex for seven months.
