Mendes isn't the only U.S. celebrity to make international news this week.

Paulo, the countries' largest newspaper.
Country superstars Sugarland experienced an even bigger backlash associated with the Indiana State Fair stage collapse in August. The group was named in a lawsuit filed by the families of the four people who died and the 44 survivors. Teen idol Justin Bieber hopes to have dismissed a paternity lawsuit filed against him by 20-year-old Mariah Yeater.

Lastly, Bieber was among the celebrities in attendance at the American Music Awards which aired Sunday. Taylor Swift was the night's big winner.
