Justin Bieber's haircut 'costs him 80,000 Twitter followers' Justin Bieber’s recent trip to the hairdresser is thought to have cost him 80,000 followers on Twitter who are not fans of the teen popstar’s new ‘do. Earlier this week, Bieber revealed his new more ‘mature’ cut to the world, saying that he just ‘wanted to change it up’. The new look hasn’t gone down well with all his fans, however, with as many as 80,000 having stopped following the prolific tweeter, The Daily Telegraph reported. Fans who are really missing his old ‘do can get their hands on the off-cuts, which are being auctioned off for charity – providing they have a lot of spare cash that is. He presented his locks in a signed Perspex box to Ellen DeGeneres on her chat show and they have already got buyers locked in a bidding frenzy.

The Libyan protests hit the number one spot on our chart this week as tweeters fervently discuss the future of democracy in the Arab world. Environmental Heresies Over the next ten years, I predict, the mainstream of the environmental movement will reverse its opinion and activism in four major areas: population growth, urbanization, genetically engineered organisms, and nuclear power. Reversals of this sort have occurred before. Wildfire went from universal menace in mid-20th century to honored natural force and forestry tool now, from “Only you can prevent forest fires!” to let-burn policies and prescribed fires for understory management. The structure of such reversals reveals a hidden strength in the environmental movement and explains why it is likely to keep on growing in influence from decade to decade and perhaps century to century.
