The other Justin Bieber is a personal injury attorney in Philly

If you are looking for a pop-star tween heartthrob with sweeping hair, sparkly teeth, and a baby face who sings songs in which most of the words are "baby," then Justin Bieber is your guy.

And if you are looking for a lawyer specializing in personal injury cases to represent you in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, then Justin Bieber is your guy.

He's just not that Justin Bieber.

This Bieber, a graduate of Widener Law School, started practicing in Center City in 2006 and, like any young lawyer, he set about building a business and making a name for himself. And then last summer, the name he was making for himself no longer seemed to be his.

"I started getting 50 to 60 friend requests a week on Facebook, and all of these messages that said, 'I love you' or 'I love it when you sing' or 'You're not Justin Bieber,' " he says.

But he is Justin Bieber - and he has been since his parents signed the birth certificate in a Tacoma, Wash., hospital in May 1978. It's just that this Bieber played soccer at Drexel University, works for Clearfield, Kofsky & Penneys in Philadelphia, has 171 friends on Facebook, and drives a 2002 Subaru. The other Justin Bieber gave up soccer at age 13, moved to Atlanta to sign a record deal, has more than 4.5 million fans on Facebook, and drives a Range Rover he got as a 16th birthday present from the singer Usher. Oh yeah, and he's got his own "swagger coach" and a bodyguard named Kenny.

The name hijacking started when Bieber the lawyer was planning his marketing campaign. He had set up his own website last July, www.justin-bieber-law.com, and was preparing to embark on the advertising phase.

And then the year of Bieber Fever hit, striking Bieber Nation and its millions of Bieberettes and Beliebers. The pop-singing sensation who signed a record deal at age 14 released his debut platinum album at 15. And just after he turned 16 in March, the crooner's baby face graced People magazine's April cover, labeled "World's Biggest Pop Star."

That left Bieber Esq. in a quandary. Here he was, trying to build a law practice under a name that attracts more people interested in lip gloss than legal advice.

"It's a really unusual name, and people used to always misspell it and pronounce it wrong," says Bieber, whose parents wanted a "J" name after his father, James Bieber Jr.

"Justin," a Latin name meaning just, true and righteous, was climbing the ranks of popularity in the 1970s - squeezing out Chad, Shawn, and Larry to break into the top 50 most popular boy names, according to the Social Security Administration.

Justin continued to rise in the naming game, ranking 12th by 1981 (the year Justin Timberlake was born) and dropping a bit to 20th in 1994 (the year of Justin Bieber pop star).

But when Justin Bieber pop star gained household-name status in the last year, the experts charged with carrying out Justin Bieber Esq.'s marketing campaign became very concerned about using that special JB combo known for making tweens swoon.

"At first they wanted me to use my middle name, but I don't go by Matte Bieber, so that would be even stranger," he explained. "So, we went with Justin Matte Bieber."

So, have the ads that began appearing in Friday editions of the Daily News created any legal Bieber fever since their debut in early May?

"I've gotten several phone calls each week since the ads came out, and I've already picked up a few clients," Bieber says, although he is dubious that the interest is attributable to his now-famous name.

Patti Williams, associate professor of marketing at the Wharton School, is not so sure.

"Branding is a function of two things - building awareness and then building meaning behind that awareness.

"And very often, just awareness can be enough," Williams said.

And when it comes to the name Justin Bieber, that seems inevitable. Even if you aren't the parent of a pre-teen or you don't listen to pop radio's seemingly endless loop of Bieber's "Baby," "U Smile," and "Eenie Meenie," it would be difficult not to know the boy with the multimillion-dollar hair sweep. He's been on Saturday Night Live, American Idol, and in the White House.

That makes sharing the name with a pop star a not-so-bad thing for a lawyer fighting for attention in a town that has more than its fair share of legal counsel.

"Many people do not know the name of a lawyer, so to have a name like his come to mind so quickly could potentially be very helpful," Williams said.

Bieber has won a number of cases representing minors in personal injury lawsuits: car accidents, slip-and-fall cases, escalator accidents - even shopping mall incidents. Which, for a singer continually facing crowd control crises, might signal its own golden opportunity. (You may recall last November when more than 3,000 fans jostled for the chance to see Bieber at a Long Island shopping mall, shutting down the concert before it even began.) Perhaps the two Justins could cross-market?

And too bad singer Bieber didn't use lawyer Bieber's services when he suffered a broken foot that same month performing at London's Wembley Arena with Taylor Swift.

The question remains though: Are two Justin Biebers too much of a good thing?

"Brand awareness for Justin Bieber is going to be very high," says Williams. "But it could cause a little eye-rolling, 'Just what I need, more Justin Bieber.' "

Perhaps it's all right then, that when Bieber Fever strikes Sun National Bank Center in Trenton later this month, the lawyer will not be in attendance.

Granny dug up husband and sister and kept bodies in home

Authorities in Pennsylvania are investigating the bizarre case of an elderly woman who allegedly exhumed the bodies of two loved ones and kept their mummified remains hidden inside her home. The case came to light on Wednesday when state police announced they had served a search warrant at the Wyalusing Township home of 91-year-old Jean Stevens, during which they found the remains of two people, believed to be Stevens' late husband, Jimmy Stevens, and her twin sister, June.

According to the affidavit of probable cause, two Area Agency on Aging case workers notified state police Tuesday that there were bodies inside the home. The case workers told police that Stevens had showed them one of the bodies, which was stored in a spare bedroom, and informed them another was "rolled up in a rug" in her garage, the affidavit stated. Stevens allegedly told the case workers that, with the help of some unnamed individuals, she had disinterred Jimmy and June shortly after their burials. Jimmy died May 21, 1999, and was buried at a cemetery, while June died Oct. 3, 2009, and was interred on Stevens' property.

The case workers told police that while they believed Stevens was "in control of her mental faculties," they were concerned for her welfare, state police said in their affidavit. After finding the remains inside the home, authorities exhumed the caskets in which Jimmy and June had been buried, and found both were empty. While there is little doubt regarding the identities of the two cadavers found in Stevens' home, state police say the county coroner's office is still awaiting the results of DNA testing.

In obtaining the search warrant, state police cited three violations: "institutional vandalism, desecration of venerated objects and abuse of a corpse." However, no charges have yet been filed against Stevens. Meanwhile, some of Stevens' neighbours are left scratching their heads over the alleged discovery. "It's bizarre [to] find two mummified bodies in a house, especially in Bradford County, let alone on a hill like this where you know all your neighbors," Bryan Champluver.

Florida heiress leaves $3m and Miami mansion to chihuahua

Gail Posner, daughter of the corporate takeover king Victor Posner, died aged 67 in March, but her three dogs continue to have full-time staff, wear �10,000 Cartier necklaces and enjoy weekly spa treatments.

However, Conchita, a chihuaha, and two other dogs called April Maria and Lucia, might have to scale back on the luxuries if Posner's only son, Bret Carr, a filmmaker, gets his way.

He claims his mother was brainwashed into leaving so much of her fortune to her pets by her household staff, who were left a total of �20 million in her 2008 will. The document left him with just a �600,000 inheritance. In a lawsuit filed in Florida, he says his mother should have left the entire estate to him.

Mr Carr claims his mother's housekeeper and other personal aides drugged her with pain medication before getting her to change her will in favour of the dogs.

Posner's housekeeper Elizabeth Beckford was told she would get �3m if she agreed to care for the three dogs at the mansion. Her daughter, an assistant housekeeper, received �600,000.

Hernado Quintero, Posner's bodyguard, received �7m, Orion Sewell, a second bodyguard, got �5m and a personal trainer was bequeathed �1.3m.

But in court papers filed in Miami, Mr Carr claimed his mother was a "deeply disturbed" woman who was encouraged by her staff to buy diamond jewelry for
her pets.

He alleged the staff coerced her into leaving a huge inheritance to the dogs, over which they would get control.

Posner, who inherited an estimated �50m fortune from her father, often boasted about the lavish lifestyle enjoyed by her dogs.

In a 2007 interview, she said she bought a $15,000 diamond-studded Cartier necklace for Conchita, but it didn't meet the dog's tastes.

"Conchita is the only girl I know who doesn't consider diamonds her best friend," she said.

She also bought the dog custom made wigs created by the Beatles' former make-up artist, Ruth Regina.

Mr Carr's lawyer, Bruce Katzen, said: "Gail had a serious drug problem. She had cancer and suffered from bipolar disorder and she was easily influenced."

All involved in the case declined to comment.

The case is bears similarities to the controversy surrounding the will left by hotel tycoon Leona Helmsely.

She left $12 million to her Maltese terrier, named Trouble, while ignoring two of her grandchildren.

A judge later reduced the amount to $2 million.

Blind dog can still catch balls and Frisbees

Meet Myron, who despite being totally blind from glaucoma still enjoys playing with toys. The brave hound's courage has made him one of Australia's best-loved dogs.

He sadly had both eyes removed by vets when he was just a few months old, but the four-year-old Boxer/Border Collie cross still manages to have fun just like any other pooch. His owner Raquel Wood takes him for walks in her local park in Campleton, New South Wales, where he sprints around catching toys.

Raquel believes that Myron's acute hearing, intelligence and a kind of sixth sense has helped him enjoy life to the full. The 41-year-old said: 'We don't think Myron is disabled. He's differently abled.

'He can still catch balls and Frisbees because his hearing is so good and he's learnt through trial and error. Sometimes I do call out to him if he's "hot" or "cold" but not always, its like he has a sixth sense.

'He can also lie down, beg, roll over and do all sorts of doggie tricks. He's very smart. It's actually hard to tell he doesn't have any eyes.'

Vets recommended that Myron should be put down as a pup, as he also sadly suffers from epilepsy and is hyper sensitive. However, Raquel and her husband Terry stuck by him and spent thousands of dollars getting him better.

Dog blown 20 miles away by huge storm

A Hungarian dog has been reunited with his owners after being sucked into the sky still in his kennel by the wind from a huge storm. Agnes Tamas, 57, said she had chained her dog who she has renamed Lucky to the dog house when he was swept away by what she described as the worst storm anyone in her village of Gesztered can remember.

She said: "I saw the roofs of the local houses being ripped off one by one, and I ran into my garden to try and get to the cellar. "I couldn't believe it when the dog house flew up into the air - complete with my dog cowering inside. It was like something out of the wizard of Oz."

Lucky was eventually found 20 miles away after local radio reported an appeal for him to be traced. The dog house and the chain however had vanished.

Kalman Csutor who found Lucky and called the Red Cross said: "He was pretty shaken - I have no idea what happened to the dog house or whether the wind carried him all that way - but when i found him he was 20 miles from home."
