Shirtless Justin Bieber Really Wants to Show Off His New Purple Hair

                                                             Instagram

When it's time to show off a brand-new haircut, many people choose to snap a casual selfie outside the hair salon. Some may want to debut it at a special event or party. Or if you're Justin Bieber, you show it off in nothing but a gym towel.

After teasing fans about his new haircut Friday night, the "Sorry" singer took to Instagram Saturday morning where he shared not one but two shirtless selfies. In both shots, fans got a clear view of his purple hair and a little more thanks to that extra low shower accessory.

"Back in the gym," he wrote on Instagram with his signature Calvin Kleinunderwear nowhere to be found.

The purple ombré style reminds us of a new trend some are calling the "mermaid hair." In the Biebs case, the singer opted for a darker shade in the back with a grayish lavender color in the front.

In an added twist, teenagers noticed another young famous face change up her hair this weekend. Little Mix singer Jada Thirlwall also debuted a new color that proves this style really may be a hit.

"Grey…shante you stay," she captioned on Instagram after snapping a perfectly normal selfie.

Putting hairstyles aside, Justin has a big reason to hit the gym on a regular basis.

The pop star is gearing up for his first world tour in nearly three years with a start date just around the corner. While making an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the Biebs announced the Purpose World Tour kicks off March 9, 2016 in Seattle.

Comedian Heather McDonald ‘lived in fear’ while Chelsea Handler's E! show

Comedian Heather McDonald doesn't like the way she was handled by a controversial late-night star.

McDonald, who was a roundtable regular on Chelsea Handler's E! show, said most Handler's crew lived in fear of the former "Chelsea Lately" host.

"I lived in fear, 100 percent lived in fear. I enjoyed my time there, I was happy, but something could happen and my heart would be beating and I'd be like 'is this it?" she said.

In a promo for Matt Weiss and Theo Von's "Allegedly" podcast, the "You'll Never Blue Ball In This Town Again" author felt blindsided by Handler when she didn't tell people on set she was bowing out.

The future of Handler’s contract was a daily speculation among McDonald’s colleagues during coffee breaks, but the end of “Chelsea Lately” — and her job — was a surprise delivered en route to a Lakers game.

“Her manager was on a red carpet and said Chelsea, the show, was ending this year,” McDonald said.

In July, the "Uganda Be Kidding Me" stand-up star announced she was leaving E! to film "Chelsea Does" for Netflix.

"I think she's a good person, I don't agree with how she treats relationships in her life," McDonald said on the podcast, which airs Tuesday. "I think she's missing out by dumping people."

"When you’re in her life and you’re her friend, it’s the greatest thing,” she said of her former pal. “She makes you feel so special until you're not.”

Handler inked a seven-year deal with Netflix. Her new four-part docuseries, premieres Saturday.

She'll also launch a new talk show on Netflix after the documentaries air.

Confusion as a Imam was arrested after 'blasphemer' teen cuts off hand

Pakistani police have arrested the imam of a mosque for inciting violence after a 15-year-old boy, who was told by the religious leader that he was a blasphemer, went home and cut off his own hand.

Shabbir Ahmed was delivering a sermon at a village mosque in the east of Pakistan's Punjab province when he told the gathering those who love the Prophet Mohammad always say their prayers before asking who, among the crowd, had stopped praying and did not love the prophet.

Local police chief Nausher Ahmed told Reuters news agency that Mohammad Anwar, mishearing the question, raised his hand. The imam quickly singled him out and called him a "blasphemer" in front of the congregation.

Anwar went home and cut off his hand - an act welcomed by his father who told police he was proud of his son and did not want the imam arrested.

The boy presented his arm to the imam on a plate, said Nausher who added he saw a video in which the boy was greeted by villagers in the street as his parents proclaimed their pride.

The incident took place at a village in Hujra Shah Muqeem town, about 125km south of Punjab's capital Lahore.

Police filed anti-terrorism charges against Shabbir and arrested him on Saturday.

"Such illiterate imams of mosques should not be allowed to deliver speeches," Nausher said. "His arrest is under the National Action Plan that hate speeches inciting violence are no longer allowed in this country."

Blasphemy is a highly controversial issue in Pakistan, and angry mobs have killed many people accused of insulting Islam in the Muslim-majority country.

The law does not define blasphemy but stipulates that the penalty is death, although a death sentence has never been carried out.

Since 1990, more than 65 people have been extrajudicially killed as a result of blasphemy cases.

Roberto Martinez: Everton boss feels 'pure anger' at Terry goal

Everton boss Roberto Martinez said he was feeling "pure anger" after his side were denied victory by a controversial 98th-minute Chelsea equaliser.

John Terry was a yard offside when he salvaged a point for Chelsea in a pulsating 3-3 draw at Stamford Bridge.

Martinez, whose side were leading 2-0 and 3-2, said the officials had made two "major errors" as Terry's goal came after the allocated seven minutes of added time.

"It's heartbreaking," he added.

"Seven minutes of injury time, the last action happens in 97 minutes 51 seconds and John Terry is two yards offside.

"Maybe refs need a bit of help. But to have a player two yards off in the box is unacceptable.

"There is no explanation. It's a big, big error. It's not good enough."

Everton took the lead when Terry put through his own net before Kevin Mirallas sent the visitors 2-0 up.

Diego Costa reduced the margin and Cesc Fabregas's deflected shot made it 2-2.

The Toffees thought they had won it through substitute Ramiro Funes Mori in the 90th minute only for Terry to back-heel in from close range.

Everton are without a win in their past four Premier League games and have one win in nine.

Chelsea's interim manager Guus Hiddink suggested he might have spoken to the referee, Mike Jones, and told him to play additional stoppage time after Everton went 3-2 up.

"There was seven minutes extra time. I said to the fourth referee, 'OK they are celebrating at least one minute in the corner'."

Hiddink also admitted Terry's last-gasp equaliser was offside.

"[Martinez] is quite right, he was offside.

"Sometimes it's in our favour, I've seen it. Oscar touched the ball and John was offside but he made a beautiful goal."
