At his concert in St Petersburg on Sunday, Justin Bieber asked the audience to enjoy the show standing up. A fan posted snippets on YouTube, with Bieber saying: "If I could be on the stage performing for over an hour for you guys, jumping all around, the least you can do is stand up, right? So everybody stand up! This isn't a baseball game, come on, this is a party." Bieber even singled out people who remained in their seats.
Cyrus's advice for Bieber
Miley Cyrus has revealed to Elle UK that she told Bieber he needs to live in the moment or else he won't have any memories to look back on. Cyrus said she was out one night with Bieber and he spent the entire time taking pictures. "I noticed he was taking all these photos of people and I just grabbed him and said, 'Just take a snapshot in your brain of this moment, so you don't forget'."
Bieber's Dubai hotel?
The Virgin Radio DJ Myles Till Midnight stirred some buzz among the Middle East's Beliebers when he posted on Twitter: "I know where Justin Bieber's staying Dubai! Shhh don't tell anyone!" While we doubt he'll reveal where, it might be worth keeping a watch on Twitter @OnAirMyles.

What is blockchain?
Blockchain is a form of distributed ledger technology, a digital system in which data is recorded across multiple places at the same time. Unlike traditional databases, DLTs have no central administrator or centralised data storage. They are transparent because the data is visible and, because they are automatically replicated and impossible to be tampered with, they are secure.
The main difference between blockchain and other forms of DLT is the way data is stored as ‘blocks’ – new transactions are added to the existing ‘chain’ of past transactions, hence the name ‘blockchain’. It is impossible to delete or modify information on the chain due to the replication of blocks across various locations.
Blockchain is mostly associated with cryptocurrency Bitcoin. Due to the inability to tamper with transactions, advocates say this makes the currency more secure and safer than traditional systems. It is maintained by a network of people referred to as ‘miners’, who receive rewards for solving complex mathematical equations that enable transactions to go through.
However, one of the major problems that has come to light has been the presence of illicit material buried in the Bitcoin blockchain, linking it to the dark web.
Other blockchain platforms can offer things like smart contracts, which are automatically implemented when specific conditions from all interested parties are reached, cutting the time involved and the risk of mistakes. Another use could be storing medical records, as patients can be confident their information cannot be changed. The technology can also be used in supply chains, voting and has the potential to used for storing property records.
