Days after a video featuring Justin Bieber using racist language hit the internet, a new clip in the same vein has surfaced. The video was reportedly made when Justin was still a teenager. He recently apologized for the first clip. [Just Jared]

The No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 has proven elusive for Mariah Carey, as her new album, Me. I Am Mariah...The Elusive Chanteuse, debuted in the third slot. Not necessarily bad for the pop icon, but it pales in comparison to some of her past albums. [MTV News]
