Justin Bieber is currently in South Africa, playing two stadium shows in Cape Town and Johannesburg.

Aside from doing whatever it is he does to prepare for a big show (reread lyrics/stretch his pelvis for panty melting dance moves) he's getting in some relaxation time.

By relaxation we mean he's exploring Africa's wild side!

He instagrammed a pic of a wild elephant (above) and wrote:

Edie Falco is a big animal lovers and a lover of big animals!

She starred in a video for PETA recently, urging parents not to take their kids to the circus.

No, it's not because she doesn't want kids to have fun or parents to do nice things for them.

It's because circuses are so so so cruel!!

Specifically, elephants get it so bad!

Since a very young age, they are tied down, poked, prodded and beaten into submission.

So Edie did a video with PETA and said:

"It was important for me to team up with PETA to speak for the elephants because there's still so much that goes on that I don't know about. What actually goes on behind the scenes in regards to animal abuse. The more I hear, the more I'm shocked."

We're so glad she gave some of her valuable time to do something for the elephants!

Animals everywhere (and caring people) thank you, Edie!!

Check out the video (above) to hear her message.

Rumors have been flying about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's wedding ever since the news of their engagement broke.

Will it be an intimate, small scale ceremony? Or a no holds barred extravaganza of luxury?

There were rumors flying recently that the wedding would be over the top, with dancing ponies and a whole bunch of elephants!

Now it seems that that's just not true.

Baby elephants are the cutest!

The Budapest Zoo in Hungary just welcomed a newborn elephant on Valentine's Day, and this is AH-MAYZING because it's the zoo's first elephant birth since 1961!!

And to make this moment even more special, the zoo is allowing people to vote on what the baby's name will be — but there's s a catch! To honor the parents' names, mama Angele and daddy Assam, the cherub must be given a title that starts with the letter 'A.'

The choices are: Aurora, Anita, Amelie, Angyalka and Aishwarya.

Baby A can currently be seen at the zoo, but only for short periods because she's still bonding with her mommy!!

Ch-ch-check out a clip of the cute cupcake frolicking around with her mama AFTER THE JUMP, and don't forget to take a peek at the pics!!!
