Justin Bieber's Monkey Is Now a Naturalized German Citizen

Hey, remember when Justin Bieber‘s baby monkey got seized by German customs? (NOT A EUPHEMISM, PERVS.) Well, instead of going all Not Without My Monkey-Son on the German boy-king or whatever, Bieber was just like “w-evs,” and didn’t even fucking bother to send in the the required vaccination and import papers to get his monkey back. So that monkey is German now. It will grow up eating Deutsch-nanas and speaking monkey-German instead of cavorting about the Bieber bus in a pair of drop-crotch diapers.

Mally, now 20 weeks old, was being cared for at Munich’s animal shelter. He has fared well and gained weight and even got a visit Tuesday from Germany’s environment minister.
“We are going to make sure that Mally can grow up appropriately for its species,” said minister Peter Altmaier.
The shelter has criticized Bieber for keeping such a young monkey as a pet, saying it shouldn’t have been taken away from its mother until it was a year old. Experts say capuchin monkeys also need to be kept in groups, not alone.
“Monkeys are very sociable animals,” Altmaier added. “That’s why we’re going to take Mally to a place where he can live safely and in the company of others.”

Jay-Z gave a Mercedes (Mercedes BENZ? MAYBE YOU’VE HEARD OF IT?) to graduating Notre Dame basketball star Skylar Diggins.

“Got surprised with a new Mercedes! Thanks so much to Jay and @rocnation and @dancyautogroup!,” the All-America hoops guard tweeted along with an Instagram pic of her new wheels.
It certainly helped that Diggins was among the first athletes to be signed to Jay-Z’s newly formed sports management agency, Roc Nation Sports. And she’s definitely excited about the partnership.
“I got 99 problems, but a BENZ ain’t one,” Skylar added.

Dear Jay-Z: I did pretty well in the free throw contest at Chris Gobrecht’s UW Hoop Camp circa 1993. Can I have a bike? Love, Lindy. [E!]
