As German authorities said on May 13, 2013, the monkey will become property of Germany, as Bieber's claims will expire by the end of the week, and neither Bieber himself, nor his management have tried so far to get back the animal. German customs authorities had confiscated the monkey during the entry of Justin Bieber at the Munich airport at the end of March 2013. Bieber had arrived without health documents for his capuchin monkey.

Teen star Justin Bieber caused somewhat of a scene at the Sabiha Gokcen Airport when he attempted to skip passport control as he entered the country, forcing security officials to refuse to allow him to leave the airport. Bieber's concert is set to take place at Istanbul Technical University’s sports arena on May 2, 2013. Tickets were sold out a month ago, and a huge crowd of “beliebers” is expected to attend the concert.

    Justin Bieber's Believe drops today (June 19), but the singer almost quit music when a woman named Mariah Yeater falsely and publicly accused him of fathering her son last year. Oh no. Thankfully he didn't go through with that plan. But we can understand why he was ready to throw his hands up. He is just 18 (and was 17 at the time), after all.

    Yeater claimed that The Biebs impregnated here in the bathroom of the Staples Center after one of his concerts. So not his style.

    Bieber told Fabulous, "At the beginning of it all I was in Florida, away from my friends and family and I was pretty sad. I got to the point where I thought, 'I don't want to do this. I just want to be normal.' It was difficult because I'd never gone through anything like that."

    He doesn't hold a grudge against Yeater for the headaches she caused for him. He admitted, ''I feel sorry for her more than anything. Everything that hurts you makes you stronger in the end. You've got to learn from the bad things that happen.''

    A lesson learned!

    Are you going to pick up a copy of Believe?
