Secret leaker Edward Snowden writes a "manifesto" for a German newspaper, pointing his finger of truth at the worst spying offenders—the NSA and their British counterparts.

In music news, Justin Bieber gets pelted in the noggin with a water bottle in Brazil, and responds by walking off the stage and into a whorehouse. Busy weekend!
