A little late for #ThrowBackThursday, Justin Bieber still gifted Instagram with the cutest possible picture of himself last night. Posing with a teddy bear for the camera, the Canadian singer can’t have been much older than four when this snapshot was taken.

That smile is so perfect, it almost makes us forget that 20-year-old Justin Bieber is an international pop star! Oh and this was definitely before he collected his extensive set of tattoos, remember those days?

We’ll totally forgive him for that hideous ‘stache if it means that more Bieber baby pics are on the way! He’s been so romantic lately, maybe he unearthed this childhood gem to show to Selena in an attempt to keep charming her. I’m guessing it worked.

Former presidential couple Bill and Hillary Clinton can finally call themselves grandparents. Last night, their daughter Chelsea welcomed her baby, Charlotte Clinton Mezvinsky, into the world.

Chelsea, who married her husband Marc Mezvinsky in 2010, announced her daughter’s birth via Twitter last night.

Chelsea publicly announced her pregnancy last April, but the new mom had been participating in panels at this year’s Clinton Global Initiative—the non-profit foundation established by her father—just two days before she went into labor. Luckily, Charlotte waited until her mom was done saving the world before arriving on the scene.

Chelsea’s father Bill Clinton served two terms as the 42nd President of the United States from 1993 to 2001.

Hillary Clinton, who might make another run for president in 2016 after losing the Democratic nomination to Barack Obama in 2008, has said that she’d like to fully experience being a grandma before deciding on her future political plans.

Hopefully the whole family can take a break from politics for a while to hang out with baby Charlotte. Can’t wait until we get to take a peek at this new political baby!

One pet groomer in Russia has taken her animal beauty salon to the next level. Instead of just baths and haircuts, she gives cats and dogs colorful makeovers to resemble exotic creatures, like dragons and bumblebees.

Daria Gotz, a groomer based in Yekaterinburg, Russia, showed off two of her latest customers recently. Two pets, a cat and a dog, went home with unusually colorful dye jobs. The cat got a haircut to look like a mythical green dragon, while a Shih Tzu pup named Bettie wore yellow and black bumblebee stripes.

They might be strange-looking at first, but these colorful critters have gotten plenty of positive reactions from passers-by in Yekaterinburg.

“The first reaction from people is probably shock, because people see a dog colored like this for the first time. Joy, delight — children like it a lot!” said Bettie’s human Ekaterina Aidimirova. The attention-grabbing dye jobs can help to draw awareness to the culture of caring for pets as four-legged members of the family.

Gotz says that she only uses dyes made from botanical extracts that wear off once the animal’s coat grows out. Watch a video of these transformed pets below.

A bartender in North Carolina got the surprise of a lifetime when a generous stranger signed off on a $1,000 tip for his $14 tab.

Chrisi Kemp, who works at the One Whirled Café in Wake Forest, made eye contact with a passerby through the restaurant’s window, and he decided to come inside for a couple of drinks on his way home from the grocery store. After spending just $14.01, the customer casually added a grand to his credit card receipt.

At first, Kemp couldn’t believe what she was looking at. “I looked down and was shocked. I said, ‘You don’t have to do that,’” she told TODAY.com. “And he said, ‘Do you need it? Well, then keep it.’ … I didn’t know if I was going to cry or what.”

Kemp had been experiencing financial troubles recently, needing to pay medical bills for her sick 5-year-old daughter, but she didn’t mention them to the customer while the two made conversation during his visit to the café.

At first, she tried to refuse the tip, but the man insisted that she accept it. The $1,000 tip came from a place of pure generosity — the customer, who asked to stay anonymous, mentioned that he believes in karma.

Kemp passed her good luck along right away, sharing the tip with two of her co-workers who waited tables on the same night.

After waiting tables for 16 years, Kemp finally hit the kindness jackpot. Sometimes you just get lucky.

The world has seen its share of Batman movies, comics, and cartoons, but it’s never had quite so many Dark Knights in the same place at once.

Employees of an energy company in Calgary, Alberta, just set the world record for most Batmen in an effort to raise money for charity.

A total of 542 Nexen Energy employees swarmed downtown Calgary dressed as Batman last Thursday (September 18) to kick off the company’s United Way campaign.

Luckily, the Guinness Book of World Records was there to inspect everyone’s costumes and officially confirm that Nexen broke the world record for “Largest Gathering of People Dressed as Batman.” They more than doubled the previous record, which stood at just 250 Batmen.

Calgary residents posted snapshots of the Batman swarm to Twitter, including a few who reported that the gathering quickly turned into a massive superhero dance party.

Criminals in Calgary will never sleep again.
