Where's the weed?

Canadian pop singer Justin Bieber was allowed re-entry into the United States last night (Eastern Standard Time) after a brief detention during which U.S. Customs officials used drug-sniffing dogs to search his private jet, according to a U.S. law enforcement source briefed on the incident. The search of the plane was undertaken after U.S. customs officials believed they smelled weed on some of Bieber's entourage. No illegal drugs were found on the plane and no charges were brought, but the young singer and his fellow passengers, who may have smoked their entire stash during the flight, were questioned for several hours. A Port Authority spokesman said his agency was notified at 8:20 p.m. Eastern Standard Time that Bieber had been released from U.S. Customs, and had no further comment. However, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office charged a friend of Bieber's with drug possession in connection with a raid last month on the singer's home in Calabasas, California, about 50 km northeast of Los Angeles. 20-year-old Xavier Smith, better known as rapper Lil Za, was charged with possession of ecstasy and oxycodone and vandalizing the Los Angeles County Sheriff's jail where he was held, and he is a very bad boy. Speaking of bad boys, 'The Social Network' star Jesse Eisenberg is all set to play Superman's arch-enemy Lex Luthor in the upcoming Batman/Superman movie, while actor Jeremy Irons has also been cast as Bruce Wayne's butler Alfred in the Zack Snyder-directed Warner Bros movie, reported Us magazine. "Lex Luthor is often considered the most notorious of Superman's rivals, his unsavory reputation preceding him since 1940," director Snyder said in a press release about the casting. "What's great about Lex is that he exists beyond the confines of the stereotypical nefarious villain. He's a complicated and sophisticated character whose intellect, wealth, and prominence position him as one of the few mortals able to challenge the incredible might of Superman." Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck will be playing Superman and Batman respectively. The movie, set to open on 6 May 2016, also stars Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne, Diane Lane, and Gal Gadot, who will take on the role of Wonder Woman.
