No one will bully him now: Justin Bieber has befriended Australian viral internet sensation Casey Heynes


One is a superstar, idolised by millions of fans around the globe, and the other was, until recently, an unknown student from the western suburbs of Sydney, Australia.

But when a video of school yard bullying victim Casey Heynes fighting back against his tormentors went viral, he caught the attention of Justin Bieber.

The singer, currently on tour Down Under, tracked down Casey after hearing about his story and invited him to his Melbourne concert.


Support: Justin invited Casey, who became a worldwide sensation when a video of him fighting off bullies went viral, to his concert in Melbourne


Justin, who has been vocal in his campaign to stop bullying, has called Casey a 'real life hero.'

Bieber alerted his 9.3 million Twitter followers to the YouTube video of Casey being punched repeatedly by bullies before snapping and 'body slamming' his attacker to the ground.

Since it was posted online in March, the video has been reported on and discussed in newspapers and on television shows across the globe including the Daily Mail as well as TMZ, CBS and The View.

Despite the violent way in which he reacted, support for Casey, who says he has suffered daily verbal and physical abuse since primary school, has been widespread.


Rising star: The 16-year-old bullying victim introduced Justin's hit song Never Say Never


'When I first saw it on TMZ I thought, this is crazy, like I couldn't believe it, it's amazing,' 17-year-old Justin told Casey backstage.

'It shows everybody else that you have to stand up for yourself and you can't just take it.

'The first thing you should do is go tell someone, but then you might have to hit back, sometimes you have to so I think that was important for you, especially in that situation. I'm proud of you — and so many other people are.'


Meet and greet: Justin told Casey and his family, 'I'm proud of you - and so many other people are'


Bieber invited Casey, dubbed 'Casey the Punisher' onstage, where they hugged and Justin asked him to introduce his next song Never Say Never.

After the show Justin tweeted: 'Pretty special night tonight in MELBOURNE....surprised someone me and the team look up to. A kid with a lot of courage.

'This is Casey the punisher...a kid who stood up for himself against bullying. A real life hero.

He added: 'Well 2nite we tracked down Casey and his family and flew him to the show. Thank you Casey (sic).'


Fellow internet sensations: The singer, who rose to fame on YouTube, tracked down Casey and his family and flew them to Melbourne


In the 40-second video, the bully is filmed prodding Casey in the face and stomach while fellow students laugh and encourage him.

After taking the abuse for a period of time Casey suddenly snaps, picks up his smaller attacker and slams him down onto the concrete ground in a powerful wrestling move.


Fighting back: A video of Casey being punched in his western Sydney school yard before snapping and 'body slamming' his attacker against the ground has received worldwide attention


In an interview aired in March with A Current Affair, Casey says said he had never reacted like that before, but this time, 'Everything had built up over three years.
'All the anger came out of it.'

But he does not promote violent retaliation as a way of dealing with bullies. 'Try to walk away,' he advised. 'But if a fight starts, sometimes things happen.'

With one of the globes biggest stars in his corner, it doesn't look like Casey will be bullied again.

High maintenance mum vs earth mother: Gwen and Ashlee's passion for fashion as Alanis and Ellen go casual

By Daily Mail Reporter


Heely good: Gwen Stefani wears towering shoes as she carries her bag and her son Zuma today in London


Being a Hollywood mother doesn't mean abandoning your love of high fashion - at least for some A-list ladies.

Gwen Stefani and Ashlee Simpson both showed off their stylish sides as they carried out their parental duties today.

Gwen looked teamed her casual outfit with towering tan coloured heels as she carried her sleepy two-year-old toddler Zuma out of her car in London.

Fashionista: Ashlee Simpson shows off her stylish side as she carries son Bronx through Studio City in Los Angeles today


Meanwhile, Ashlee Simpson also looked trendy in a grey hat, sunglasses, light brown miniskirt and chunky heels for a stroll through the Studio City area of Los Angeles.

But the 26-year-old didn't seem to find her towering heels much of a hindrance, and smiling, she carried her growing two-year-old son Bronx with ease.

The star filed for divorce from her rock star husband Pete Wentz in February this year, citing irreconcilable differences, but the couple are raising their son together.

Low key: Alanis Morissette looks casual in flip flops and a baggy outfit as she holds her baby son Ever alongside husband Mario 'Souleye' Treadway today


But some celebrity mothers prefer a more low key look.

Singer Alanis Morissette, 36, looked casual in baggy trousers, cardigan and flip flops, as she carried her four-month-old son Ever through Los Angeles, alongside her husband Mario 'Souleye' Treadway.

Also embracing the 'earth mother' vibe, Grey's Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo looked a far-cry from a glamorous TV star as she strolled through New York today.

Wearing a denim jacket and jeans, the 41-year-old actress wheeled her 18-month-old daughter Stella through the city.

Royal Wedding dress designer Sarah Burton

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Golden girl: Sarah Burton, dressed in one of her own creations, makes her first public appearance since designing Kate's wedding dress


After designing the Duchess of Cambridge's wedding gown, Sarah Burton is the toast of the fashion world.

And last night, her peers finally got the chance to raise a glass to her as she stepped onto the red carpet at the glittering gala ball held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

Dressed in a diaphanous white gown of her own creation, Sarah Burton looked every inch the star.


Paying tribute: Anna Wintour, Sarah Burton and Stella McCartney at a press preview this morning of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's new Savage Beauty exhibition on the work of Alexander McQueen


Earlier that day Burton had rubbed shoulders with other fashion dignitaries at a preview of the museum's newly opened Alexander McQueen exhibition.

The designer viewed the much-anticipated collection alongside Stella McCartney, whose creations were set to be worn by a number of guests at the gala ball, and U.S. Vogue editor Anna Wintour

Speaking to the assembled guests, Mrs Burton, who was McQueen's protegee and successor at the helm of his fashion house, refused to comment further on the Royal dress.

Instead, she paid tribute to her mentor, saying simply that the retrospective was a fitting homage.


Fashion's golden boy: The Met's Savage Beauty exhibition will chart the career of Alexander McQueen


She said: 'When I walked into the exhibit, I thought of Lee...the passion, inspiration.'

Ms McCartney, who had not a trace of baby weight after giving birth to daughter Reiley in November, and also trained under McQueen, added: 'When I think of him, I think of red roses.'

Tonight's ball, one of the biggest nights in the fashion calendar, will also pay tribute to the late designer, who took his own life last year.


Works of art: McQueen's designs 'constitute the work of an artist whose medium of expression was fashion'


Savage Beauty: McQueen was known for using high contrast in his work, marring dark and light, and soft and hard. It is a skill Mrs Burton has inherited and continued in the label's designs since his death


On display: Model Coco Rocha admitted that she had a hard time choosing which McQueen gown to wear for the ball tonight because many of the best looks were part of the exhibit


Moment in the spotlight: Both the Duchess of Cambridge and her sister Pippa Middleton wore Alexander McQueen creations on Friday. Catherine also wore another McQueen creation for the evening reception


The exhibition will be open to the public from May 4, and will run until July 31. For more details, visit metmuseum.org
