Police allege the pop singer admitted to having beer, marijuana and prescription drugs in his system.</div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390712585507_3533" style="margin-bottom: 1.1em;">His blood alcohol level was .04. That level was illegal, because he is under-age. The standard for someone driving under the age of 21 is .02.</div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390712585507_3543" style="margin-bottom: 1.1em;">The singer spent the rest of the night in jail then appeared in a Miami courtroom early Thursday afternoon where a judge set bail at $2,500. Bieber stood silently in the courtroom dressed in a jail jumpsuit as his attorney spoke. ABC News confirmed that "because of Justin Bieber's high profile status," he received special treatment and had his hearing moved up when it should have been Friday. He posted bail and exited the courthouse a short time later, jumped up on a car and blew a kiss to a throng of fans as he left. A couple hours later, he was spotted by news helicopters riding around Downtown Miami in a black Escalade that eventually pulled into the lush Viceroy Hotel in Brickell.</div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390712585507_3553" style="margin-bottom: 1.1em;">Miami Beach police said Bieber was pulled over for speeding in a yellow Lamborghini and failed a field sobriety test. This is a first-degree misdemeanor, which could get him up to six months in jail and have his license suspended for six months.</div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390712585507_3563" style="margin-bottom: 1.1em;">But he may be eligible for a program for first-time offenders that reduces the charge to reckless driving, said defense attorney Mark Eiglarsh, who is not involved in this case. Florida has zero tolerance for underage drinkers and if the singer enters a program for first-time offenders, Bieber will have to steer clear of all drugs and alcohol, as was the case with actress Lindsay Lohan.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 1.1em;">Miami Beach Police Chief Raymond Martinez told the Miami Herald that Bieber was incoherent at the time of his arrest. He had his hands in his pockets and resisted arrest without violence, the chief said, adding that the singer was driving with a Georgia license that expired at least six months ago.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 1.1em;">Police allege that Bieber cursed out the arresting officer then admitted to having beer, marijuana and prescription drugs in his system.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 1.1em;">A source told ABC News that Bieber was leaving SET Nightclub on Lincoln Road before he was arrested. After leaving the club, the musician's entourage had apparently used their cars to block traffic on Pine Tree Drive at 26th Street, a residential area, at around 4 a.m., creating a drag strip for Bieber, who was in a Lamborghini, the newspaper reported.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 1.1em;">Bieber was taken to county jail for processing. Miami Beach Police Detective Vivian Hernandez added that under Florida law Bieber had to spend a mandatory eight-hour drying out period in lockup after a DUI arrest.</div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390712585507_3572" style="margin-bottom: 1.1em;">Police said that the other alleged drag racer, who was racing Bieber in a red Ferrari, was Khalil Amir Sharieff and he was also charged with DUI. The police report said the cars were going 55 to 60 mph in a residential zone posted at 30 mph.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 1.1em;">It wasn’t so long ago that Justin Bieber seemed so wholesome. He was the 14-year-old Ontario, Canada, boy living with his single mom. His YouTube performance went viral and spawned a recording career that's sold more than 15 million records.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 1.1em;">Like so many child stars, he had to come of age in the spotlight. It was not always easy -- tantrums, incidents with paparazzi.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 1.1em;">But even as late as 2012, he sounded like he was a young man with a lot of control, as in this “Nightline” interview: “You gotta be responsible and you know as far as alcohol, don't drink and drive excessively. I think you have to be responsible.”</div><div style="margin-bottom: 1.1em;">Then, things started getting weird. It was just months ago that Bieber reportedly fired most of his team, including crisis manager Wendy Feldman. The photo ops stopped being so positive ... Justin Bieber urinating into a bucket. Justin Bieber leaving a notorious brothel in Rio de Janeiro. Bieber painting graffiti on the side of a building.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 1.1em;">And just this month, he was accused of egging his neighbor’s house. Is he a young man out of control?</div><div style="margin-bottom: 1.1em;">“Justin Bieber does not get it,” said Howard Bragman, vice chairman of Reputation.com. “He is one of those celebrities who thinks he lives by a different set of rules. He thinks because he has money, bodyguards and power, that he is impervious to the traditional rules of society.”</div><div style="margin-bottom: 1.1em;">Of course he's not the first young pop star to step out of line and into the spotlight for the wrong reasons.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 1.1em;">Singer Chris Brown, for one, can’t seem to avoid it. First there was the 2009 domestic violence charges brought against him by his then-girlfriend Rihanna. Then a nightclub beef with rapper Drake. And just last fall, a fist fight outside a Washington hotel.</div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390712585507_3581" style="margin-bottom: 1.1em;">And Lohan has spent more time on tabloid covers than on the big screen since her once-promising acting career was derailed by a hard-partying, no-limits lifestyle. We're talking six separate trips to rehab and more time in courtrooms than Judge Judy.</div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390712585507_3596" style="margin-bottom: 1.1em;">“I think Lindsay Lohan has the same problems Justin Bieber does, failure to comprehend you are responsible for your own actions and live by the same rules as everyone else,” said Bragman. “Look at Lindsay and you see a lot of parallels -- a girl whose career was a rocket ship and now it's a dud, quite frankly.”</div><div style="margin-bottom: 1.1em;">And while audiences have been gawking at the increasingly outrageous behavior of Miley Cyrus, industry watchers see something very different at play.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 1.1em;">“Miley’s controversy was about her music,” said Bragman. “You look at Justin and Chris Brown, it’s never about their music. It’s about some of their moments where they are acting out. That's the big difference. You may disagree with what Miley did or how she did it, but she had a strategy and a purpose and plan and she executed it and that's the big difference.”</div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390712585507_3613" style="margin-bottom: 1.1em;">Corey Feldman, who grew up in Hollywood, as the star of “The Goonies,” spoke to “Nightline” about the tradeoffs of growing up in the limelight: “Child stars have nothing. They have nothing. They have no choice. I was never taught how to have a family. I was never taught how to raise a child because I wasn't raised properly. I was never taught how to care for somebody because I was never shown genuine love. I was shown business. This is what you do. Here's how you read a contract. I knew how to read a contract by 10 years old, but I didn't know what it meant for somebody to come in and tell me they love me and kiss me goodnight. That's a problem.”</div></div></div>

She's gone from medical marvel — hers are the only known full set of octuplets to live past their first week — to national punch line for her various money-generating efforts</div><div class="body-slot-mod" style="background-color: white; clear: right; float: right; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17.307693481445313px; margin: 0px 0px 1.1em 10px; max-width: 300px;"><div class="yom-remote"><div class="" id="mediacontentrelatedstory_container"></div></div></div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390711594789_12961" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">The 38-year-old single mother of 14 children (she had six before the octuplets) has been a porn actress, nude model, celebrity boxer and birth-control pitchwoman as she's struggled to support herself and her children. She's lost a home to foreclosure, teetered on the brink of bankruptcy and fought with nannies and others who tried to help her, leaving in her wake a string of publicists, lawyers and good-Samaritan types who no longer want to talk about her.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">Suleman was back in the headlines earlier this month when she was charged with welfare fraud. She pleaded not guilty and is free on her own recognizance pending a pretrial hearing next month.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">Despite all the attention she's generated, Suleman has kept her octuplets largely out of the public eye and shared little about them. As they turn 5, here are eight things to know about "Octomom:"</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">1) BEFORE SHE WAS OCTOMOM: Suleman worked for a state mental hospital in 1999 when she said she suffered a back injury during an inmate riot. She went on to collect more than $165,000 in disability payments and used some of the money to help pay for in-vitro fertilization treatments that produced her first six children. She has a bachelor's degree in child and adolescent development from California State University, Fullerton, and was studying for a master's in counseling when she became pregnant with the octuplets.</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">2) THE DOCTOR: All 14 of Suleman's children were born through IVF treatments provided by Beverly Hills physician Dr. Michael Kamrava. He faced harsh criticism when it was learned he implanted 12 embryos that resulted in the octuplets. Medical guidelines recommend no more than two embryos. Kamrava said he was trying to please an insistent patient. The California Medical Board revoked his license, citing gross negligence.</div><div class="body-related" style="background-color: white; clear: right; float: right; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px; position: relative;"><a class="body-related-link body-related-image go-to-slideshow-lightbox rapid-noclick-resp landscape onesize get-lbdata-from-dom" data-rapid_p="8" data-uuid="70e80cd0-1253-3c8a-b5bb-8d225ac8e7fa" href="http://news.yahoo.com/photos/file-file-image-made-2006-video-provided-ktla-photo-204837394.html" style="color: #324fe1; cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 300px; position: relative; text-decoration: none;" title="FILE - In this file image made from a 2006 video provided&nbsp;&hellip;"><div class="img-wrap" style="position: relative;"><div class="cta-overlay" style="-webkit-transition: background-color 0.24s linear; font-size: 13px; height: 226px; left: 0px; position: absolute; top: 0px; transition: background-color 0.24s linear; width: 300px;"><span class="clearfix title cta-text medium" style="-webkit-transition: opacity 0.24s linear; color: white; font-size: 16px; left: 5px; opacity: 0; position: absolute; top: 5px; transition: opacity 0.24s linear; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 270px; zoom: 1;"></span><span class="cta-text xsmall" style="-webkit-transition: opacity 0.24s linear; bottom: 5px; color: white; font-size: 16px; margin-left: 42px; opacity: 0; position: absolute; transition: opacity 0.24s linear;">View gallery</span><span class="icon-slideshow icon-white-slideshow-xsmall" style="-webkit-transition: opacity 0.16s linear; background-color: #324fe1; background-image: url(data:image/svg+xml; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; background-size: cover; border-bottom-left-radius: 4px; border-bottom-right-radius: 4px; border-top-left-radius: 4px; border-top-right-radius: 4px; bottom: 5px; cursor: pointer; height: 23px; left: 5px; line-height: 0; opacity: 0; padding: 0px; position: absolute; text-indent: -1000em; transition: opacity 0.16s linear; width: 32px; z-index: 1;"></span></div><img alt="FILE - In this file image made from a 2006 video provided&nbsp;&hellip;" class="body-related-thumb" data-src-2x="" height="226" src="http://l2.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/BlMtXQiVR7wFPTkry_esAQ--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7Zmk9ZmlsbDtoPTIyNjtxPTc1O3c9MzAw/http://media.zenfs.com/en_us/News/ap_webfeeds/3fedaf3b6597dc03490f6a706700c6f5.jpg" style="-webkit-transition: opacity 0.3333s ease 0ms; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border: 0px; display: block; opacity: 1 !important; transition: opacity 0.3333s ease 0ms; vertical-align: baseline; visibility: visible !important;" width="300" /></div></a><div class="body-related-title photo-caption" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: grey; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16.5px; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 100%; padding: 5px 5px 0px 0px; position: relative; width: 300px;">FILE - In this file image made from a 2006 video provided by KTLA, Dr. Michael Kamrava performs an u …</div></div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">3) NAME GAMES: Suleman picked Biblical names for all eight of her octuplets: Noah, Jonah, Jeremiah, Josiah, Isaiah, Makai, Nariyah and Maliyah. All have the same middle name, Angel. No explanation was given for why Suleman chose to spell their last names Solomon. But then no explanation was given for why she altered her own first name from Natalie to Nadya, something discovered only this month when she was charged.</div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390711594789_12965" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">4) SHE SUPPORTS BIRTH CONTROL — FOR DOGS AND CATS: In 2010 People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals paid Suleman $5,000 to endorse spaying and neutering for pets. The organization also provided a month's supply of vegetarian hot dogs and hamburgers.</div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390711594789_12980" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">5) CELEBRITY BOXING STAR: Suleman launched a short-lived boxing career in 2011, explaining she was stepping into the ring with a string of D-List celebrities because she was broke. Her opponents included "Long Island Lolita" Amy Fisher, who became famous for shooting her much older lover's wife in the face in 1992. Suleman won decisions over Fisher and a Florida bartender, but took a pounding from Philadelphia radio personality Jen Posner, though the referee ruled the bout a draw.</div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390711594789_12990" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">6) ON THE MOVE: The house Suleman bought after the birth of her octuplets was put on the auction block in 2012 after she defaulted on a loan. She tried to save it by filing for bankruptcy but a judge dismissed the case when she never completed the paperwork. She has gone on to live in rental houses.</div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390711594789_13005" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">7) AWARD-WINNING ACTRESS: Suleman's porn video, "Octomom Home Alone," won the 2013 AVN Award for Best Celebrity Sex Tape, the adult film industry's equivalent of an Oscar.</div><div id="yui_3_9_1_1_1390711594789_13009" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24.000001907348633px; margin-bottom: 1.1em;">8) WHO'S THE FATHER? Suleman, who was married from 1996 to 2008, has never publicly identified the father of any of her children. She has said it wasn't her ex-husband, but a friend who donated the sperm used to create the 60 embryos that authorities say Kamrava implanted in her over the years.</div></div>

Recall that she was planning to play at the premiere, which took place in late December, but the director was afraid that she might give birth on stage, and the actress posted on maternity leave. Now Kristina feels quite ready to play Ophelia, but she needs to combine motherhood with active acting life.<br /><br /> «On the one hand, I now have a blissful period. Breastfeeding - a magical process, do not want to miss any. On the other hand, I need this dope - the viewer scene profession. I'm very bored "- actress wrote in his microblog.<br /><br /> Must say that the premiere of" Hamlet ", which took place January 24 and 25, was a huge success. Naturally, Kristina hard to break away from "the meaning of life," but, as she wrote after the premiere, she was "very important to share empiricism."<br /><br /><script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "ca-pub-8441125172513237"; /* boton */ google_ad_slot = "4392536701"; google_ad_width = 200; google_ad_height = 90; //--></script><script type="text/javascript" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"></script>

A tusker is prominently displayed on the national coat of arms. The country is even named after the ivory trade, underscoring how the giant mammals once proliferated in the West African nation.<br /><br />Ivory Coast has not conducted a recent census to determine how many forest elephants are left in the country, but conservationists estimate there only are a few hundred. In Central Africa, their populations have been devastated by poaching in recent years.<br /><br />The elephants being relocated were forced out of the Marahoue National Park by human migration possibly related to the West African country's 2010-11 postelection violence, according to the International Fund for Animal Welfare. This week, the group began tranquilizing elephants outside the western town of Daloa, then locking them in a crate for the 10-hour drive to Assagny National Park on the country's southern coast.<br /><br />The dozen or so elephants targeted for relocation moved near Daloa two years ago and began wreaking havoc, destroying crops and killing two people including a small boy who accidentally stumbled upon elephant calves, prompting their mother to attack, IFAW said.<br /><br />One calf is among those to be tranquilized and moved, the organization said. People gathered around in the red-dirt village of Daloa on Monday to watch the spectacle of an elephant being loaded onto the back of a large red truck.<br /><br />View galleryIn this photo taken Monday, Jan. 20, 2014 and distributed&nbsp;&hellip;<br />In this photo taken Monday, Jan. 20, 2014 and distributed by the International Fund for Animal Welfa …<br />Forest elephants are smaller than the savannah elephants found in Africa's eastern and southern regions. They have more oval-shaped ears and straighter tusks, and occupy dense forests stretching from Central African Republic to Liberia.<br /><br />Elephants are widely cherished as Ivory Coast's national animal, and the government contacted the animal welfare organization for help to solve the problem without hunting the elephants down and contributing to the ongoing decline of forest elephant populations throughout the region, said Celine Sissler-Bienvenu, IFAW's director for Francophone Africa.<br /><br />"This relocation solves a major conservation problem by contributing to the safety and well-being of both the animals and humans," Sissler-Bienvenu said.<br /><br />Similar projects have been undertaken for savannah elephants in southern Africa, but until this week relocation had not been attempted for the forest elephants of West and Central Africa, the Washington D.C.-based organization said.<br /><br />Lack of visibility in the forests increases the risks as elephants become harder to find and approach safely, Sissler-Bienvenu said.<br /><br />IFAW said relocating the 12 or so elephants around Daloa would take about a week and cost $250,000.</div>
