1. Justin Bieber posts a picture of a fan's bra on Instagram

Between his bouts with paparazzi, his joyriding in Ferarris, and his penchant for abandoning monkeys in Germany, Justin Bieber hasn't exactly come across as mature lately. But the Biebs has taken to Instagram to prove his adulthood in the most mature way possible: Posting a picture of a fan's bra, which was thrown on stage at a recent concert. "I guess everyone grows up," added the 19-year-old pop star in a caption, while steadfastly refusing to do anything that even resembles that. [Us Weekly]

Better get in line for tickets, Star Wars fans: Director J.J. Abrams has announced that he plans to start production on his new Star Wars sequel, Episode VII, in January 2014. "We are — most likely, if all goes as planned — going to be moving to London at the end of the year for the Star Wars movie," confirmed Abrams during an interview at the Produced By Conference on Saturday. Though Abrams refused to comment any further on the movie's storyline, he did hint that he'd prefer to shoot it near his home, setting up the intriguing possibility that Episode VII will be set in the long-ago, far, far away galaxy of modern-day California.

Sorry, Ciara: During a recent concert in California, an extremely bold process server approached the stage to serve the pop star with legal papers related to a canceled appearance at West Hollywood club The Factory. Though Ciara immediately dropped the documents — making it unclear where the case against her stands — the incident has the distinction of being the most interesting thing that has ever happened at a Ciara concert.

For anyone who feels like there's no justice in the world, take heart: During the season finale of Britain's Got Talent on Saturday, a mystery woman rushed the stage and threw eggs at notoriously negative judge Simon Cowell. According to Cowell, the incident was probably inspired by a tweet he sent out revealing that he hates eggs. Though the identity of the egg-tosser hasn't yet been revealed, it's safe to presume she has some kind of beef with Cowell — which, given his propensity for irritating and offending just about everybody, doesn't exactly narrow the list down.

Despite his extensive credentials as Millennium Falcon copilot, actor Peter Mayhew — who plays Han Solo's wookiee partner Chewbacca in the Star Wars movies — was stopped by the TSA for carrying a cane designed to resemble a lightsaber. The actor promptly tweeted about the incident to his more than 22,000 followers, prompting the TSA — which is, apparently, alarmingly susceptible to peer pressure — to return Mayhew's lightsaber and allow him to board his flight. Reached for comment, Chewbacca said, "ARGRHRAGARATHRAGHHHHHHHH!" [The Hollywood Reporter]
