1. Justin Bieber was tackled by a fan during a concert

At a concert in Dubai on Saturday, one Justin Bieber concertgoer took his beliebing a little too far when he rushed the stage, knocking over both Bieber and a piano in the process. E! Online reports that the man was "a fan" who decided to take the song "Believe" literally and embrace his dreams by bum-rushing the pop star — because there's no better way to earn the respect of your idol than tackling him in the middle of a performance. The report adds that Bieber is fine, though the piano wasn't quite as lucky.
