Justin Bieber gets his hair cut

There are few celebrities these days that can set the news wires and Internets on fire by engaging in basic, everyday tasks. Lady Gaga, Robert Pattinson, Kim Kardashian and, of course, Justin Bieber, are among the few whose every move is cause for Twitter trends and celebrations.
Case in point, Bieber's haircut. A photo of the 16-year-old's newly shorn locks appeared on TMZ on Monday, along with news that the clippings will be given to charity to raise money for various causes, including animal rights.
Naturally, Bieber's famously fluffy hair swoop has been the subject of innumerable news stories and tweets, so when MTV News checked in with his "Never Say Never" director Jon Chu on Tuesday (February 22), we had to bring up the very popular subject of Biebs' new haircut. Chu's only complaint was that Bieber didn't let him know about the momentous occasion.
"I would have brought a 3-D camera there," said Chu, who recently announced the release of a special "Director's Fan Cut" of the film. "I would have shot it for ['Never Say Never'] 3.0."
Chu went on to say that he won't miss the shaggy flip and heartily approves of Bieber's shorter 'do.
"Two thumbs-up for the haircut, for sure. He's wanted it for a long time," Chu told us. "I'm just happy for him because he's been holding on. He's like, 'I need to get the haircut, I want to get rid of it!' But he has his hair flip which he can't get rid of, but now it's R.I.P. hair flip."
We then pointed out that "R.I.P. hair flip" sounded like a perfect Bieber-related Twitter trending topic, and Chu informed us that we were way behind.
"It is a Twitter trending topic!" he said with a chuckle. "At least it was yesterday, last night."

Charlie Sheen's personal life is getting every bit as complicated as the production of Two and a Half Men. Although the troubled sitcom star and his estranged wife Brooke Mueller filed final divorce papers earlier this month, the exes and their 2-year-old twin boys, Max and Bob, are reportedly once again living under the same roof.
Mueller's mom, Moira Fiore, tells People that the move is only temporary and for the sake of the kids. "Brooke and the twins have moved into Charlie's house for a week before they move into the new house that Charlie bought her down the street from him," she says. "Brooke and Charlie are friends and there is no romantic interest on Brooke’s part."
Another source close to Sheen claims the actor is "looking forward to having his kids close by." Like Sheen, Mueller has struggled with substance abuse and, in December 2010, she moved into a sober living facility. Having Mueller and their kids close by might just be a positive influence on Sheen.
Then again, this is Charlie Sheen we're talking about. RadarOnline.com reports that Sheen and Mueller are also sharing Charlie's pad with porn star Bree Olsen and a new woman named Natalie Kenly. What's more, the site says that on Wednesday Sheen, Mueller, their kids and their two "roomies" all embarked on a tropical vacation together. A source claims: "Charlie talked about building a porn family, and now he's got these three women all living with him and taking off on vacation with him."
The source also said of Sheen's rehab at home, "At this point, that's a joke." We hope good old Uncle Charlie can get his act together before things spiral out of control... again.
