THEFT Paul Spencer A JOBLESS former HMV worker flogged a pal’s vinyl collection to go boozing.

Paul Spencer, 46, was asked to look after 900 records by music PR firm boss Sean Crossey.

Mr Crossley, 44, became suspicious when he saw posts of Spencer on expensive nights out and estimates he flogged 300 records worth £12,000.

At Manchester magistrate­s Spencer, of Salford, admitted theft but claimed he only sold 50 for £400.

A special hearing will decide the amount and value stolen. Spencer will be sentenced later.

Laura Keegan, prosecutin­g, said: “We submit this falls into a sentencing category with a starting point of two years’ custody.” Pair in Vogue Justin Bieber & Hailey Baldwin NEWLYWED Justin Bieber has told how he and Hailey Baldwin abstained from sex until they were married.

The pop star, 24, and his model wife, who wed after 12 weeks together, said it was one of the best decisions they made.

Canadian-born Bieber said his religious beliefs led him to celibacy as he previously had “a legitimate problem with sex”.

In his first interview in two years, he added: “God doesn’t ask us not to have sex for him as he wants rules and stuff.

“He’s like, ‘I’m trying to protect you from hurt and pain’. Sex can cause a lot of pain.

“Sometimes people have sex because they don’t feel good enough, they lack self-worth. Women do that, guys do that.”

The couple also told American Vogue they knew marriage was not a “magical fantasy” and was “always going to be hard”.

In 2013 Justin was caught sneaking out of a brothel in Brazil under a bedsheet. He and Hailey, 22, daughter of the actor Stephen Baldwin, got married in November. ■ Vogue’s March issue is out
