Justin Bieber and Rihanna to Be Featured on Japan Aid Album

 

Universal Music Group has announced that it will be releasing a digital-only compilation album featuring some of the label's biggest stars, in an attempt to raise funds for tsunami-stricken Japan.

Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, U2 and Bon Jovi are all expected to appear on the album, waiving their royalties so that the entire proceeds will go towards Red Cross Japan.

"We are doing it only digitally because it is faster, and this will be a worldwide release. The plan is to have it available later this week," a spokesperson for Universal explained. The as-yet-unfinished compilation will likely feature several other artists from the label.

Gaga lost no time in joining the relief effort, tweeting that she had designed a special prayer bracelet on Friday, March 11, just hours after the earthquake shook Japan. In two days, Gaga and her loyal fans had raised over $250,000.

Singer Ne-Yo is also contributing to the country's aid by performing at several charity concerts in Japan , one of which took place Yesterday, and another on Thursday, March 24.

Man Has 82 Tattoos of Julia Roberts ( VIDEO )

 

Some people get tattoos of flowers, others of favorite quotes. But there's one man in Chile who decided to cover himself with tattoos of...Julia Roberts.

Newspaper salesman Miljenko Parserisas Bukovic, 56, has not one, not 10, but 82 tattoos of Roberts' face all over his body, according to Reuters. He has already spent $4,000 on his tats, and plans on getting more -- if there's room.

Bukovic's fascination with the actress began with her leading role in 'Erin Brockovich' and took off from there. "The woman is great, she's beautiful," he said of the object of his tattoos, which cover his back, chest and arms. Watch the clip of Bukovic after the jump!

While the images of Roberts span her various film roles, there's one noticeably missing.

"Once I was talking to him about 'Pretty Woman,'" said his tattoo artist. "And no, he doesn't like me to talk about Julia Roberts [in that film] because she's a prostitute there."
