More Bindis and Less Mileys Please!

We haven't made it too big a secret that Bindi Irwin, daughter of the late Steven Irwin, is our teenage society heroine, but our girl just took it one step further and made us love her even harder, if that's at all possible. In a recent interview, Bindi slammed her contemporaries -- nicely, of course; no nastiness or backhanded compliments here, thank you very much -- and claimed that young girls essentially need to cover up (yes -- yes, they do): "I'm a big advocate for young girls dressing their age. I mean, for me, I look around at a lot of young girls and they're always trying to dress older. Whether it's wearing revealing clothes or hardly wearing any clothes at all, I feel really bad for them. It kind of has the opposite effect in some ways ... it kind of does the opposite where you look younger and like you're trying too hard. ... A lot of times I want to grab these girls and say ‘Look ... in 10 years you’ll regret this. Just dress like who you are. Don’t try so hard. A pair of jeans and a T-shirt is just as gorgeous and even makes you look classier’." Bearing in mind that this is coming from a 15-year-old girl, how sage is this advice? Totally sage. Totally appropriate, and totally important and necessary information for young girls growing up in today's society to have. With Miley Cyrus as a sister, poor 14-year-old Noah Cyrus really doesn't stand a chance

Justin Bieber does it again

Justin Bieber has loaded up his truck and moved to Beverly ... and his neighbors are already pissed. We've learned Bieber is renting 2 units in a new, fancy Bev Hills condo building. It's a little strange ... he's rented both a penthouse unit and the unit on the floor below, even though the units don't connect. We're told Justin needed the space not just for him but for his entourage. He moved in earlier this month. Now here's the predictable problem with the Biebs living in a condo building. The neighbors have already contacted the HOA because of excessive noise and marijuana. And we're told ... cops have been called twice. A resident in the building tells Treadin' Parlour, "The smell of marijuana was permeating the floor, especially my hallway which is shared by [Justin's] unit." Neighbors complained last week of a rager that went on until 4 AM. And there's this. A neighbor told Treadin' Parlour Justin was having a small party Monday where his deck was outfitted with bongs and a bar ... and the entire penthouse floor was being hotboxed.

'I'm going to stab you': Woman jailed for six years over knife attack

A woman who attacked a man with a kitchen knife after he made an insulting remark about her mother has been jailed for six years. Melanie Ann Burnell, 20, of Maes Cybi, Holyhead stabbed Shane Boylan, now 24, once in the abdomen, a judge at Caernarfon Crown Court heard. Mr Boylan, also from Holyhead, was rushed to hospital after the incident in the New Park Road and Maes Cybi area in the early hours of November 24 last year. He required emergency surgery and 24 stitches inserted in the wound. The court heard he has been left permanently scarred by the attack. Sentencing Judge Philip Hughes said: “People who use knives must expect courts to deal with them robustly.” He added there were several aggravating features in the offence including an element of premeditation and that it was a determined attack. Gordon Hennell, prosecuting, said Burnell and the victim had been out in Holyhead that evening and had met up in the Maes Cybi area. Both had drunk considerable quantities of alcohol. “They knew each other and he engaged her in conversation. Mr Boylan has no recollection of making the remark but others nearby heard it. “Burnell was seen to run to the house and return with a large kitchen knife and run towards Mr Boylan shouting 'I’m going to stab you.' "She made several lunges towards him and stabbed him once in the abdomen. “She immediately realised what she had done and went to his aid and apologised for what she had done. “But it must be said she did try to hide the knife in a drain but it was later recovered.” Police and paramedics were called and as Mr Boylan was taken to hospital Burnell was arrested. Mr Hennell said she was interviewed later and accepted taking the knife and using it following the insulting remark. Kim Halsall, for Burnell, said the incident arose because she had drunk “far too much alcohol”. “I accept that is not mitigation but puts the incident in context. “I hope the court accepts this young lady is truly sorry and remorseful,” the lawyer said. Burnell wept as sentence was passed. Members of her family, who were also in court, were also in tears. After the hearing DC Catrin Hughes welcomed the sentence saying it was important the courts sent out a strong message that violent offences will not be tolerated. She said: “I’m relieved that following surgery the victim has made a full recovery but his injuries could have been a lot worse and we cannot emphasise enough the dangers of knives.”
