Justin Bieber has placed on two years probation and ordered to take anger management classes after pleading no contest to misdemeanour vandalism charges on Wednesday (09.07.14) for egging his neighbour's house in Calabasas, California in January.

The 20-year-old star, who pleaded no contest to misdemeanour vandalism charges on Wednesday (09.07.14) for egging his former neighbour's house in Calabasas, California in January, must attend 12 weeks of classes with a minimum of one every week, and must pay the victim $80,900 for causing "an incredible amount of damage," as part of his deal with prosecutors to avoid jail.

The 'Confident' hitmaker, who was not required to attend the Superior Court hearing in Van Nuys, California, was also ordered to perform five days of community service, such as picking up rubbish or graffiti removal, according to CNN.

In a written statement after the hearing, a spokesperson for the star said: "Justin is glad to get this matter resolved and behind him. He will continue to move forward focusing on his career and his music."

The victim previously submitted estimates suggesting the Canadian star, who was captured on video during the incident, had caused $20,000 worth of damage to his house because a large portion of the property needed to be re-plastered, but the judge said that cost of the repairs actually exceeded $80,000, adding: "The house is a dream house."

Following months of tension between him and his neighbours, Justin sold his mansion in the gated community to Khloé Kardashian, 30, in March, but the singer was also slapped with a restraining order, instructing him to stay 100 yards away from the former neighbour and his family.

Meanwhile, the 'Baby' hitmaker is reportedly still in talks to reach a plea deal with prosecutors in Miami to avoid a trial in relation to his Driving Under the Influence (DUI), resisting arrest and possessing an invalid driver's licence charges stemming from his arrest there in January.

Miley Cyrus' secret affair with music producer

Miley Cyrus has reportedly been in a secret relationship with music producer Mike WiLL Made It for the past nine months and their romance is getting "pretty serious."

The 'Wrecking Ball' hitmaker, who was first linked to the music producer following her split from fiancé Liam Hemsworth in September 2013, is said to have been quietly dating him for nine months and their romance is now getting "pretty serious".

A source told Us Weekly magazine.com: "Everybody in her circle knows they've been together this whole time."

Another insider said that the 25-year-old producer, who worked on Miley's latest album 'Bangerz,' has also formed a close bond with Miley's mother, Tish Cyrus, adding: "Tish says he's part of the family."

Miley, 21, is currently on a break from her 'Bangerz World Tour' and will kick off the North American leg on August 1, but she and Mike - real name Michael Williams - make sure to "talk and test all day, every day" when they're apart.

An eyewitness said the duo were "all over each other" at the BET Awards afterparty on June 28.

The 'We Can't Stop' singer was originally thought to have only enjoyed a brief fling with Mike, as she was also spotted cosying up to a number of other men, including her assistant Cheyne Thomas, 'Twilight Saga' star Kellan Lutz and Rolling Stone photographer Theo Wenner after splitting from 'The Hunger Games' star Liam, 24, last year.

Justin Bieber strikes plea deal for vandalism

Justin Bieber has reportedly struck a plea deal after learning he will be charged with misdemeanour vandalism.

The 20-year-old singer, who is accused of causing more than $20,000 worth of damage after he pelted eggs at a fellow resident's home in Calabasas, California, in January, will be placed on probation for a year and ordered to perform community service, but won't serve any jail time in connection with the case.

A source told gossip website TMZ.com that the 'Confident' hitmaker's lawyer will appear at the Superior Court in Van Nuys, California later today (09.07.14), where he will formally submit a no contest plea on Justin's behalf and accept the deal after the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office said the Grammy-nominated singer will be charged with one count of misdemeanour vandalism.

The Canadian star, who was captured on video during the incident, will also be ordered to pay compensation to his neighbour, who claimed the repairs from the damage cost him $20,000 because a large portion of the house needed to be re-plastered.

The 'Beauty and a Beat' hitmaker's legal team are expected to give a statement after the hearing.

In California, a misdemeanour vandalism charge usually carries up to a one-year imprisonment and a maximum $10,000 fine if convicted.

It was originally thought Justin, who has since sold his house in the gated community to Khloé Kardashian, could be charged with criminal vandalism, which would have seen him face up to three years in prison, a penalty of up to $50,000, and probation if he was found guilty.
