Ariana begs for ‘one OK day’

In a recent series of tweets, Ariana Grande hinted that things weren’t going too well in her life at the moment. “Can I have one OK day? Just one. Please. I’m so tired. Please,” she wrote.

The 25-year-old pop star has reportedly been experiencing symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, which was caused by last year’s terror attack at her Manchester concert. She’s also coping with the death of her ex-boyfriend Mac Miller.


Ariana said that “it has been a tough month,” and apologized for getting everyone worried.

“I’m trying to get my work done and get back to normal,” she wrote. “And it’s hard and I’m only human.”

It has also been confirmed that the singer wouldn’t be touring anytime soon, so she could take a break. —ALLAN POLICARPIO

IS claims Manchester concert bombing

CAIRO, Egypt – The Islamic State group claimed responsibility on Tuesday for a bombing in the British city of Manchester that killed 22 people, including children, at a pop concert.

The group said in a statement published on its social media channels that “one of the caliphate’s soldiers placed bombs among the crowds”, and it threatened more attacks.

The group’s self-styled news agency Amaq separately said that “an Islamic State fighter” had carried out the attack.

In an earlier statement, Amaq said it was carried out by “a security squad”.

Justin Bieber drops mic, walks out at UK gig

This year is indeed an “annoying” time for Justin Bieber and his “Beliebers.”

Bieber stormed out of the stage in a Sunday concert in Manchester, England, after asking fans to “shut up” and not scream during gaps in his songs.

“I appreciate all the support, I appreciate the love, I appreciate the kind things. But the screaming in these breaks has got to stop. Please, and thank you,” the “Sorry” singer, 22, warned his vivacious audience, according to BBC.

“I don’t think it’s necessary when I’m trying to say something and you guys are screaming,” he concluded with an epic mic drop, which was filmed by several Beliebers.

As expected, his mid-concert tantrum didn’t stop the cheerful crowd’s screaming, which was replaced with emphatic boos later on.

After several minutes, Bieber resumed his gig and explained his actions. “I feel like I wanna connect with you. The point of the no screaming thing is that when I’m looking at you in the eyes you know that we’re actually having a moment and having a connection,” he elaborated.

Realizing that he could not simmer down his English fans, he went through with his concert. “We’re just going to do the music. Obviously, Manchester just can’t handle it, so let’s do the music.”

Bieber has been exhibiting lukewarm relations with his global fanbase during his “Purpose” world tour this year. In his recent show in Birmingham and during the first night in Manchester, he pleaded with the audiences to stay silent and listen to him. Also, he received backlash from his fans due to his vulgar words, chiefly when he hit Norwegian fans with his “You suck” comment.  Gianna Francesca Catolico/rga
