He is going to New York now to see her. They both want to keep it low key, they won’t go public. They’re just having fun and living life, they dont want titles.”

Officials gave Bieber a couple of weeks to scrounge up the documents, but the singer has apparently decided to move on without the baby monkey, as his people reportedly contactedthe German authorities to tell them to find the poor animal a proper home.

Mally is, of course, better off without Justin Bieber for a multitude of reasons. Karl Heinz Joachim, who heads the Munich animal sanctuary where Mally has been held, explained, "There are a great many suitable places that have offered to take Mally and integrate him with their own capuchin monkeys where he would be much more happy with his own kind.

"A baby monkey was never going to be suited to be on a world tour even if he is traveling by private jet. He should be out in the wild climbing trees and learning from other monkeys if he isn't to have serious psychological problems later in life."

Sofia Vergara reveals struggle with thyroid cancer

Sofia Vergara, who was diagnosed with thyroid cancer at the age of 28, has opened up about her battle with the disease. The 40-year-old actress told Fox News that going through the whole process of getting her thyroid out, then the radiation and all the stuff, has of course changed her life because her priorities changed. She said that you realize that no matter how much beauty, money, and success you have, if you don’t have health, you have nothing, because you can’t do anything. Having her thyroid removed left Vergara with hypothyroidism, which is a condition in which the thyroid gland does not produce certain crucial hormones. The actress relies on daily medication, which delivers a synthetic form of these hormones. Vergara likened dealing with the disease to having a relationship with your doctor. The ‘Happy Feet Two’ star, who is now raising awareness about the disease, said that after using Synthroid, she has never had a problem and never had any symptoms. Vergara added that it is not something that is going to take your time to go and get tested, insisting there is a reason why anyone should be living with hypothyroidism.
