Justin Bieber Swims With Sharks The singer says his female dancers made it easier Another day, another music video for Justin Bieber but even this one proved difficult for the biebs. The 18-year-old had to swim with sharks in his latest video. The singer struggled to plunge into a water tank filled with bonnethead and zebra sharks because he's scared of the creatures. "I`m terrified of sharks," Justin told fastmaza.com. "I was so scared. I hate sharks. It took, like, an hour for me to even jump in the water." Fortunately there were female dancers on hand to help. "Being with the ladies under there kind of made it a lot better," the superstar added. The footage shows Justin surrounded by sychronised swimmers called the Aqualillies and will be shown during the shows on his Believe tour. Justin's director Jon Chu, is the one to blame for the dangerous stunt as he is the one who came up with the idea for the video but the biebs didn't let him off that easily. "He was pretty scared, which was awesome. I had to jump in with him to make sure he knew it was safe and he wasn't going to get bitten," said Jon, who also directed Justin's concert documentary film Never Say Never. Maybe next time he should just stick with singing to Selena look-a-likes instead. HOT MODELS BIKINI PHOTO SHOOT PICTURES

Rod Stewart Tried Yoga And Therapy After Rachel Hunter Split ROD STEWART spent four months on his couch after sinking into a deep depression when Rachel Hunter walked out on him, and even tried therapy and yoga to cope with his devastation. The singer was left heartbroken in 1998 when the supermodel confessed she was unhappy and wanted to end their eight-year marriage. In his autobiography, serialised in Britain's Mail on Sunday, Stewart reveals Hunter was the first woman he was ever faithful to, and admits he was driven to the "point of madness" when theirromance crumbled. He writes, "For four months, it was like some kind of 19th Century romantic fever. I lost 12 pounds in weight. I felt cold all the time. I took to lying on the sofa in the day, with a blanket over me and holding a hot-water bottle against my chest. I knew then why they call it heartbroken: you can feel it in your heart. I was distracted, almost to the point of madness." The Maggie May hitmaker was desperate to move on and even sought therapy : but quit after one session ended badly. He recalls, "I went to a bookstore and left with a bag full of books off the self-help shelves. Other methods of pulling myself out of the depths descended into farce. I'd decided to take up yoga, so a man came to the house to teach me the fundamentals (but) I fell over into the fireplace. And I tried therapy. This had never appealed to me. For me, I'm British: we don't do therapy. "But I was in extremis, so I went. Indeed, I tried three different therapists� One was a middle-aged woman, and what can I say? She came on to me. I'm sure there are one or two stern paragraphs advising against that kind of thing in the professional statutes for therapists. "Anyway, no, I didn't respond to her interest. Instead, I got out pretty sharpish."
