InfoStar’s Offices will be CLOSED for the End of the World and Judgment Day

Remember last May when preacher Harold Camping declared the end of the World would occur on May 21, 2011?

Well, that day has come and gone and now the 90-year-old evangelist says his original calculations were off by a few months and the real date is October 21, 2011.

That’s TODAY! The Rapture is today!

And a funny thing happened this morning…….

San Francisco California starting getting hit with several small, but growing earthquakes on the 22nd anniversary of the devastating Loma Prieta quake that hit in 1989.

The Bible says the end of the world will end with a huge earthquake.

And in Southwest Florida the red tide has caused several large fish kills that are now attracting flies and migrating locusts.

We suspect by mid-day the locusts will start moving west while aggressively multiplying.

We all know what the bible says about locusts? Right?

So, okay – we see the handwriting on the wall.

Harold Camping's Rapture

In light of these, and future events, InfoStar has decided to CLOSE OUR OFFICES for the day and will reopen on Monday morning assuming we are still here.

We just don’t want our employees to have to fight the traffic, lines at the bank and gas stations, etc., just because everybody else waited until the last minute to deal with their impending judgment.

PLEASE – if you have any food items in the refrigerator take it with you when you leave for the weekend and don’t leave any food in your offices overnight.

We all remember what happened when nerd Terry left that egg salad sandwich behind the filing cabinet.

We just think it is best if we close our doors for the weekend just in case something does happen. We really aren’t equipped to handle something like Armageddon during normal business hours.

And if this is the Rapture, then Satan's going to be really pissed and there's no telling what he will do over the weekend.

Besides, we don’t have a wheelchair ramp at our office so it would be hard to get Bob out into the parking lot in a hurry if anything does go bad.

Anyway, see you all bright and early Monday morning!

Justin Bieber’s Tour Crew Refuses to Return to Japan – Might Cancel Shows

It’s not easy being the world’s most popular 17-year-old Pop star.

And we also know that Justin Bieber is not the kind of performer who likes to cancel a show.

But today during a crew meeting in Adelaide Australia, were Bieber is performing, the road and stage crew overseeing his tour said they refused to return to Japan for more concerts due to fears of radiation from the recent nuclear disaster.

Since the earthquake and Tsunami last month they fear the risk of cancer and other illnesses is too great, and say they refuse to return for shows on May 17th and 19th.

Bieber has already visited Japan on his My World Tour, and is scheduled to return later this month to both Tokyo and Osaka.

The crew reminded Bieber’s manager, Scooter Braun, that both Avril Lavigne and Slash have cancelled shows at the same venues over health fears.

Braun was overheard yelling and cursing at the crew telling them that the Japanese Government had told him there was no risk at all and that they should do what is right for the kids.

At this point there is a mutiny and the crew says they refuse to return.

Bieber himself has not made any comments on the subject and a simple statement released by his PR rep said “They are working through the issue now”.

Watch Justin Timberlake and Matt Morris Sing Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah"

Last night, during the "Hope For Haiti" telethon, Justin Timberlake and Matt Morris crooned a version of Leo Cohen's "Hallelujah".

If you saw it, then you probably got goose bumps as the song gained in volume and meaning.

Timberlake seems most comfortable singing and performing in the pop culture arena, but last nights performance was sure to touch more then a few hearts.

It was one of the best performances of the evening, and summed up lots of emotions into one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

It's good to see young Hollywood come together in a way that is not just self serving, tabloid grabbing, over the top sensationalism used to grab headlines.




All of this was part of George Clooney's "Hope For Haiti Now: A Global Benefit For Earthquake Relief" telethon in Los Angeles, California on Jan. 22, 2010.
