Roots singer Gillian Welch coming to the Garrick Stone Temple Pilots fly into Winnipeg in September JERUSALEM - David Arquette got more than he bargained for during his first trip to Israel. The Scream star came to shoot a segment for his travel show and ended up having a bar mitzvah ceremony, too. The 40- year- old Arquette completed the Jewish rite of passage Monday in Jerusalem at the Western Wall, the holiest place for Jews to pray. Arquette, who recently split with former Friends star Courteney Cox, is the youngest of the five acting Arquette siblings: Rosanna, Richmond, Patricia and Alexis ( who was born Robert). While their father became a Muslim, their mother was born Jewish, making the children Jewish under religious law. Jewish boys typically celebrate their bar mitzvah at 13, the age when they are obligated to perform Jewish commandments. While filming an episode in Jerusalem of his Mile High show, which airs on the Travel Channel, Arquette attended a ceremony and was then asked whether he would like to have one as well. Dressed in an all- white outfit, Arquette read his first Torah portion ever and placed phylacteries on his head and tattooed arm in front of the Western Wall, the lone retaining wall left from the second Jewish Temple compound. " He was very emotional, saying he was happy to be part of the chain of the Jewish people," said Shmuel Rabinowitz, the rabbi of the Western Wall, who conducted the ceremony. " I'm very pleased to see a man who is returning to his roots." Arquette, who has been elusive during his visit, later posted on his Twitter account: " I had my bar mitzvah today at the wall. Finally I'm a man." Rabinowitz said Arquette was ashamed by his lack of Jewish knowledge. Born on a commune in Virginia, he had little to do with Judaism. His maternal grandmother was a refugee of the Nazi Holocaust of the Second World War, but his own mother turned away from religion. - The Associated Press Scream star Arquette has bar mitzvah in Israel M EXICO CITY - Thousands of tween girls jamming a vast square with their parents screamed in unison when teen superstar Justin Bieber appeared on stage for his free concert Monday night, an event expected to draw 200,000 people to the historic centre of Mexico's capital. Bieber opened with his hit song Baby , while his adoring fans filling the city's main plaza sang along or shouted " Justin! Justin! Justin!" Dressed in white jeans and a grey T- shirt, the singer was accompanied by five dancers in neon colours. Four giant screens showed parts of his music videos to the crowd of mainly girls and their parents, who braved a light, persistent rain before the concert. Minutes earlier, Bieber arrived in the Zocalo area in one of four SUVs that were escorted by a dozen police officers on motorcycles while Mexican DJs 3BallMTY played to the crowd unaware of his arrival. The grey and reddish stones of the plaza were covered in a sea of purple as the mainly 10- to 14- yearold crowd paid homage to what is reported to be Bieber's favourite colour. At a news conference before the concert, the teen star said there is no artist he would spend days in line waiting for. " There is no one I admire so much to do something crazy, but if Michael Jackson were here, I would do it for him. So, I do understand the emotion that the girls feel and that makes me feel very honoured," Bieber said. Hundreds at the Zocalo, which was filled to capacity, had to cover themselves in plastic rain capes sold by vendors who came prepared for a rainy evening. Earlier, girls trundled through security checkpoints with hats and umbrellas, staking claim to some of the roughly 80,000 spots allocated in the plaza itself. An additional 120,000 or more fans were expected to watch on giant TV screens erected on nearby streets. Fernanda Gutierrez Aparicio, a 13- year- old seventh grader at a local middle school, said she spent a week camping out with her mother on a nearby street in hopes of being among the first to enter. She said they returned home only to bathe and look after Fernanda's 15- yearold sister, who recently had surgery. But her mother, Adriana Martinez, 41, gave up on trying to get her daughter into the front rows because of the press of other fans. " I was really disappointed. When we got up front, people were crushing you, not letting you breathe," Martinez said. Even hours before the concert, " People were jostling each other and it got to the point that you couldn't move." To Fernanda, it was all worth it - even missing the week of classes leading up to the two- hour concert. " I told my teacher that I wasn't going to school and not to expect me in class for a few days, because I was going to be out supporting my idol," Fernanda said. Fernanda most wanted to hear Bieber sing That Should Be Me , which pretty much reflects her feelings about the Canadian singer. " I want to be Selena Gomez, to be with him," she cooed, referring to Bieber's girlfriend. Authorities said they would have more than 5,000 police on hand, partly to prevent the sort of crush that injured 40 Bieber fans at a free concert in Oslo, Norway, in late May. - The Associated Press Tween Beliebers pack Mexico City PHOTOS BY ALEXANDRE MENEGHINI / THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Fans of pop star Justin Bieber cheer outside a hotel where Bieber ( below) gave a news conference in Mexico City, Monday.
