Video - Justin Bieber Rocks Pink Shoes as Alter Ego Derek Bieber – Denies He is Dead or a Brat

Leave it to Justin Bieber to start a controversy no matter where he goes.

While leaving a restaurant yesterday in Hollywood with his manager Scooter Braun, Bieber was confronted by a photographer from TMZ who clearly did not have his facts straight.

Bieber was asked about an incident on an American Airlines flight where the pop singer was rude and refused to sign an autograph for one of the pilots.

Bieber denied the story and then was asked what it was like to be famous and have all these fake stories and rumors circulating about him.

Bieber responded,

"I'm famous? I'm a celebrity? I didn't even realize. My name's Derek. I don't even know what you're talking about. I'm just a look-alike. I don't know why you guys are following me around with cameras. I've never heard anybody ever call me a brat."

Justin then told the photog that he shouldn’t believe everything he hears and that there were also stories that he had died from multiple causes and they were on their way to his funeral.

Funny…

Watch Justin as Derek Bieber in Hollywood


Within an hour of the video being released “Derek Bieber” was a worldwide trending topic on twitter.

Ah, the power of social media!

But when you really are Justin Bieber, and worth an estimated $100 million, you can do anything you want and wear anything you want.

In fact, The Bieb’s is so confident in his masculinity these days he was rocking some ultra-bright pink shoes.

Nothing says masculine like pink shoes, two earrings, and making a lady carry your shopping bags.

We also noticed in the video that nobody really seemed to care that Scooter Braun was there, and he acted like he didn’t want anything to do with any of the discussion.

Smooth move Scooter – and nice beard.

For his part, Bieber is back in the studio working on his new album “Believe”.

Can’t wait.

Photo – Bronze Statue of Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez by Artist Daniel Edwards

Okay, we are just going to have to file this one under strange and bizarre.

Bizarre, odd, uncanny, weird, peculiar, abnormal – we’re still trying to find the words to describe this post - but here goes…

Meet 46-year-old Daniel Edwards from New York.

Daniel describes himself as an American sculptor whose art addresses celebrity and popular culture in ways that have often stirred controversy.

And his latest work is no exception.

Mr. Edwards is such a fan of pop sensations Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez that he has created a nude bronze statue of the two love birds conjoined together, standing on a base featuring a Canadian goose and a Texan Armadillo.

The simple message engraved on the base? “Justin and Selena Forever.”

The superstar’s naughty parts have been covered with a Canadian maple leaf for Bieber and a Texas star for Gomez.

We particularly liked the goose and armadillo and think it adds a touch of class and sophistication – NOT.

Now you might ask yourself why somebody would do this – but Edwards seems to be one of those artists that lives on the fringe.

Daniels Facebook page is complete with a selection of his previous artistic creations including Lil Wayne, Ja Rule, Jay Z with a white raven on his head, Kanye West with a white peacock on his head, Snoop Dog with a rooster on his head, Britney Spears giving birth to Sean Preston, and… well, you get the idea.

In fact, this current work is not the first Bieber and Gomez creation Daniel has created.

The following works are titled "Paris is for Lovers - Justin and Selena in Vegas" and "Puppy Love - Justin and Selena" - click to enlarge.

No word yet about what Edwards wants to do with his Bieber art, but initially he plans to unveil the statue at a gallery called “Dallas’s New Fine Arts” which is famous for their lewd and racy artwork.

Okay, were not trying to judge here, and we are not haters by nature, but we think somebody needs to check into Bellevue Hospital just to see if there’s a loose bolt rolling around somewhere upstairs.

We’re just saying…

If you would like to get to know artist Daniel Edwards a bit better, then watch the following video titled “The Several Severed Heads of Daniel Edwards.”



See! He’s not such a bad guy. Just a little deranged and obsessed with severed heads, art, and childhood horrors.

Kind of makes your life look really really normal about now doesn’t it?

Justin Bieber to Honor ‘Mama Jan’ at Hall of Fame Awards

Mama Jan and her boys

Her real name is Jan Smith.

But most of Justin Bieber’s fans know her as Mama Jan.

Smith was featured in Bieber's 3D movie “Never Say Never” and has been his vocal coach and mentor since he started his career in Atlanta.

But Jan is much more than Justin's vocal coach. She works with some of the top talent and breaking artists in the industry and has been in the music business for 54 years.

Now, Justin has a chance to show a little love in return when he performs at the 33rd annual Georgia Music Hall of Fame Awards on September 17th.

The event will not be a concert or full length show, but rather a tribute performance honoring Mama Jan as she is inducted this year into the Hall of Fame.

Jan said,

“Justin’s working on a new record that’s going to be a benchmark for him. His fans are certainly waiting to see what he’s going to do next. ”

Both Bieber and his career mentor Usher are expected to be in attendance, as will Toni Braxton, Judy Argo, and Hall Johnson.

The event will be held at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center in Atlanta Georgia.

In addition to working as a vocal coach, Jan is also co-founder of The Bridge Music Foundation – a unique organization that helps develop young artists by giving them the necessary resources while protecting them from the pitfalls of the music business.

Jan commented,

“We believe that music is art, and that artists are capable of producing their best music when they have access to the proper development tools and mentors to help them refine their talents. Bridge Music Foundation leverage their relationships and industry insight in order to provide each selected artist with a world-class team that is custom tailored for their specific needs.”

In fact, if you follow Mama Jan on twitter you can see some of her posts and photos of the Bridge Foundation event last week.

Way to go Mama Jan!

And congratulations on FINALLY getting verified on twitter.

Photo - Justin Bieber is Growing a Mustache – Really?

Look out Selena Gomez – you have ignited a fire in the loins of your young boyfriend Justin Bieber.

And apparently, she has jump started his testosterone levels as well.

Last night at the Kids Choice Awards, Justin Bieber arrived on the red carpet with more than just a crooked bow tie.

He had a slightly dark and almost imperceptible smudge under his nose.

All the young girls on Twitter were going nuts this morning when a photo of the Biebs surfaced with what appeared to be the beginnings of a mustache.

That’s right – Justin Bieber is trying to grow a mustache.

Justin Bieber Sporting His New Mustache

And it’s about time.

Bieber has really been trying to put on the masculine front these days – even going as far releasing photos of him and his dad Jeremy grimacing in pain as they got matching Jesus tattoos under their left arms last month.

But maybe he just hasn’t had time to shave after his wild time in Miami last weekend where he went coning, got pulled over by the cops, and was busted by the paparazzi walking around his hotel balcony shirtless and wearing nothing but a pair of grey boxer shorts.

Photo – Check Out Ryan Butler’s New Tattoo - Very Touching

So we know Justin Bieber is taking it slow this summer while he works on his new album “Believe”.

And in between recording sessions he is trying to do what every kid does over the summer – have fun.

Bieber, who stays in his new $3 million condo while he is in L.A., is having his best friends from Canada out for a little vacation and male bonding while he puts the finishing touches on his latest project.

A couple of weeks ago he invited Chaz Somers out for a visit, and this week it’s best pal Ryan Butlers turn.

Butler and Bieber have been tweeting all week about their adventures that at one point included Ryan letting Justin cut his hair and one controversial shopping spree where JB rocked a T-shirt with Cee Lo Green’s “F**k You” lyrics.

Related: Justin and Ryan go shopping in dirty shirt – Photos

Now it seems that Butler has joined Bieber in his tattoo craze by getting his first tattoo!

Ryan gave a shout out to his tat artist and said it didn’t hurt a bit by tweeting,

“Just got my first tattoo! It looks amazing! I love it! didn't hurt one bit... S/O to my artist @chenteUTG”

He also uploaded an Instagram photo of him in the tattoo parlor!

Bieber's Best Friend Ryan Butler Gets His First Tattoo

So what is Ryan Butler’s new tattoo?

Rumor is that Ryan had a little brother named Aidan James Butler who died within days of being born and he wanted to commemorate his little bro with his new ink.

Young Aidan was born October 5, 2000 and passed away nine days later on October 14, 2000.

Here is a photo of Ryan Butler’s new tattoo for Aidan

Very touching indeed, and a wonderful way to remember his little brother.

We know that Justin already has a number of tattoos including a small seagull on his left hip and the matching Hebrew “Jesus” tattoo he got with his dad Jeremy a few months back.

Related: Justin and Jeremy Bieber get matching Tattoos – Photos

Justin’s dad Jeremy is already full of ink so it must run in the family.

Jeremy has started spending more time with the Biebs over the last year leading some to speculate the two are patching up the deep wounds over his divorce from Pattie.

Regardless, if the story of Ryan’s little brother is true, and the photo released is accurate, it seems like a very touching way to remember a tragic family event.

Justin Bieber’s Ex-Girlfriend Jasmine Villegas Threatened with Death by Crazy Stalker

Wow, big problems for Justin Bieber’s old girlfriend Jasmine Villegas.

TMZ is reporting that Villegas has gone to police to obtain a restraining order against thirty-three year old Steven Cintron who allegedly tried to pay some hit man $5,000 to have her killed. Not cool.

Cintron has sent her thousands of twitter messages and uploaded tons of YouTube videos threatening her life, family, and career.

Villegas says,

"In a couple of the videos, he has appeared holding deadly weapons, i.e. a gun, machete knives stating that he was going to find me, rape me, and kill me. He also threatened my little brother, my parents, and my current boyfriend.”

The singer has been scared to death ever since the problem started and finally decided it was time to call in the police when Cintron started threatening not just Villegas – but also her family and friends.

At one point, Cintron sent her a video showing her personal appearance and concert schedule saying,

"You're dead Jasmine. I swear to God I'm going to kill you. I will blow your f***ing head off bitch."

A judge in Los Angeles agreed there was a threat, and signed a restraining order barring Steven from getting within 100 feet of the singer, her family, her friends, or co-workers.

He was also banned from sending her any type of communication including phone, email, twitter, Facebook or YouTube.

Villegas, a 16 year old budding musician, is busy with her music career and has released her latest single "Natural" off her album "All These Boys".

Watch Jasmine Villegas Sing “Natural”


Villegas is also an aspiring actress and was featured in Bieber’s music video “Baby” – she was the one he kissed in the dance off in the bowling alley.

She has also appeared in the TV shows “That’s So Raven”, “The Nine”, and “My Wife and Kids”.

Jasmine was forefront in internet rumors last month when news spread that Bieber and Selena Gomez had split because Justin was caught sending text message to Villegas.

The rumors were false and later determined to be just a hoax.

However, last year photos were snapped of a then 16 year old Justin Bieber kissing Jasmine in the back of a car on the way to a performance and it started a worldwide panic amongst his fans – and an angry backlash against Villegas.

So, I guess young celebrities can indeed have grown up troubles.

Be safe out there kids!

Video - Justin Bieber’s Shawty Mane Raps on Chris Brown's New Single “Ladies Love Me”

Okay, we get that Justin Bieber wants to break out of his bubble gum “Baby” image and start his career anew with his next album.

But we’re not sure if hard core rap is going to be his thing.

Bieber just released a new track of his alter ego Shawty Mane rapping with infamous hip hop stars David Banner and Chris Brown on Brown’s latest single “Ladies Love Me” from his upcoming mix tape.

Maybe we are missing something, but this song seems to be missing a beat or two. The backing track sounds very superficial and the drums sound about as fake as they can be.

Also, the turntable scratch seems too load and it all seems like it was mixed by a kindergartener.

Listen To Justin Bieber Rap as Shawty Mane with Chris Brown


What do you think?

I hope this is not an indication of what Bieber plans to release with his new album later this year.

Related: Justin Bieber talks new album – Video

This song almost sounds like something they threw together playing around in the studio as a joke.

But then again, maybe we are missing something.

We know that the Biebs is trying to appear more mature and “manly” these days to help break away from his younger teen-idol mold, but were not sure if this kind of music suits him – or his huge established base of fans.

We also don’t think pranking a Burger King employee and coning on video while cruising around in a $400,000 Rolls-Royce and getting pulled over by the cops will help either.

Related: Bieber goes coning and almost hits wall – Video

It does seem that Bieber is now back in the studio full time after taking a much needed break from touring.

He has tweeted several times that he is in the studio and even released a few photos of him and Brown coming and going.

Justin and Dad get tattoos

He has also taken some time off to help jump-start his girlfriend Selena Gomez’s tour that kicked off last week.

Justin was seen at her debut concert in Boca Raton Florida before being chased by fans and getting caught with his pants down on a Miami hotel balcony - shirtless and wearing only a pair of grey boxer shorts.

Related: Shirtless Justin Bieber Caught in Grey Boxers – Photos

Time will tell how this young artist wishes to portray himself to the public and to his fans. But we hope he treads lightly with the rap because we’re just not sure if his fans will go for it.

But for now, Justin Bieber is Shawty Mane...

Are you a fan? Would you want to hear more rap like this from Justin?

Photos - Justin Bieber Goes Shopping Wearing “F*** You” Shirt

There comes a time in every teen idol’s young life when they are too young to act like adults and too old to still act like a child.

Justin Bieber seems to be smack dab in the middle of that transition.

Bieber and his best friend Ryan Butler took time earlier this week to stop by the Armani Exchange in Los Angeles to do a little shopping.

Bieber arrived wearing a blue shirt with the original and uncensored lyrics to the now famous Cee Lo Green song “F*** You”.

A far cry from any lyrics on any JB song eh?

The thing we found interesting is that his friend Ryan Butler was carrying his own shopping bag, but the Bieb’s bodyguard Kenny Hamilton seems to be carrying Justin’s shopping bag.

Really? Can’t even carry your own bag these days?

I wonder if Cee Lo is wearing a shirt that says “Baby Baby Baby”.

Probably not…

Bieber's Jesus Tattoo Pics

The 17-year-old superstar sure has been acting out these days trying to show us he is not that sweet little kid we fell in love with three years ago.

Last weekend, Bieber and his friend Sean Kingston videotaped themselves in a $400,000 Rolls-Royce convertible pranking a local Burger King and attempting the difficult “Double Coning” procedure.

They filmed it all with a flip cam and JB almost ran his expensive car into the wall. They also got pulled over by the cops that night.

Related: Bieber goes coning and stopped by cops – Video

That same weekend he was also photographed by the paparazzi after walking out onto his hotel balcony shirtless and wearing only his grey boxer short underwear. Of course the leaked photos were posted to the internet within minutes.

Related: Bieber caught shirtless and in his underwear – Photos

Some really smart people think this may all be a well calculated ploy to show the world he is no longer a kid and does indeed have an edgier side to his budding adult personality.

After all, he has a new album coming out later this year and some suspect it will be a big departure from his days of bubble gum love songs - and his official entrance to his young adult persona.

Just stay away from the booze and drugs, and don’t get thrown on jail and your fans will still love you.

Video - Selena Gomez Behind the Scenes at First “We Own the Night” Concert

19-Year-Old teen sensation Selena Gomez opened her “We Own the Night” concert tour last Thursday – and it was a huge success.

Gomez and her band “The Scene” started their tour at the Park Amphitheater in Boca Raton Florida and her boyfriend Justin Bieber was in the audience to cheer her on.

It was a great show and everybody loved it.

After the show Gomez tweeted,

"Boca really came out tonight. . . I love you all"

And our favorite sidekick and all-around good guy videographer Alfredo Flores was there to capture all the back stage action on film.

Over the weekend Flores edited up his footage so we could see how everything went down and have a chance to see Selena with her band, crew, singers, and dancers before hitting the stage for her opening night.

Alfredo was an instrumental player with Justin Bieber’s “My World” tour, and has worked on several of the singer’s videos as well as his 3D movie “Never Say Never”.

And after the show, Selena's boyfriend Justin Bieber hit up the town with his best bud Sean Kingston in what would turn out to be a wild night of being chased by fans, coning in a $400,000 Rolls Royce, getting pulled over by police in front of a T.G.I.F. restaurant, and getting caught by the paparazzi on his hotel balcony - shirtless and wearing only a pair of grey boxer short underwear.

Awkward.

Gomez will be touring through September but will take a break to perform at the “Kids Choice Awards” August 7th with OneRepublic.

The tour will cruise through Atlanta, New York, Chicago, Cleveland, Pennsylvania, Toronto, Boston, St. Louis, Dallas, Kansas City, San Diego, and Las Vegas.

She can also be seen in the recently released movie “Monte Carlo” starring with Cory Monteith, Leighton Meester, and Katie Cassidy - a comedy about three young women vacationing in Paris who find themselves whisked away to Monte Carlo after one of the girls is mistaken for a British heiress.

Later this year Selena can be seen in the Disney family comedy “The Muppets” working with an all-star cast that includes Mila Kunis, Emily Blunt, Amy Adams, and Jason Segel with appearances by Neil Patrick Harris, Katy Perry, Jack Black, and Ricky Gervais.

“The Muppets” will be released November 23rd and tells the story of how the rag-tag group must reunite, with the help of their fans, in order to save their old studio from a greedy oil tycoon.

Justin Bieber sure did have a wild time in Miami this weekend.

First, he was chased by fans while trying to leave through the back door of his girlfriend Selena’s concert in Boca Raton Florida.

Word got out that the Biebs had been backstage and was leaving when a group of young fans tried to chase him down.

Security had to escort him through a maze of bushes and shrubs as he ran to an awaiting car that whisked him away.

Then, Bieber and best friend Sean Kingston were pulled over by cops in South Beach while driving a $400,000 Rolls-Royce convertible after an evening of coning and pranking.

At one point, Bieber almost hit a wall while trying to drive while holding TWO upside-down ice cream cones in his hands.

Fortunately for us they recorded the whole thing on a flip-cam!

He wrapped up his wild weekend Sunday morning by walking out onto his hotel balcony in his boxer shorts unaware there was a paparazzi photographer across the street snapping photos of the shirtless teen idol.

Bieber walked around half naked while sporting his favorite pair of sagging grey boxer shorts before returning to his suite to pack up and head to the airport.

This week, Bieber returns to the studio to continue work on his latest album “Believe” due later this year.

While little is known about his new album we do know he has been seen at the studio with Chris Brown and has hired the best song writers and producers to help him nail down his new tracks.

He is also slated to resume his “My World” tour later this year in Brazil and Latin America. No word yet on tour dates or final locations.

Ah to be young and have nothing to do!

Justin Bieber Pulled Over by Cops in Miami - Photo

Teen pop sensation Justin Bieber and his friend Sean Kingston ran into a little trouble Friday night in Miami.

As we reported earlier, Bieber and Kingston were out driving Sean’s convertible Rolls Royce Friday while taking video of them playing pranks on various establishments.

First, they purchased a Frosty from a Wendy’s and tried to return it to a Burger King. Then they pulled off a quick “double coning” while almost hitting a wall in their $400,000 ride before running into a bit of trouble with the law.

Related: Justin Bieber goes coning – almost hits wall with car - Video

The official word Friday night was that Bieber called the cops HIMSELF outside a South Beach T.G.I.F. Restaurant after fans spotted them and started to crowd around the teen idol’s car.

But now we are learning that that was not the whole story.

A witness and employee of T.G.I.F. told HollywoodLife,

“An undercover police officer was driving behind Justin and Sean Kingston. He pulled them over in front of the restaurant on Ocean Drive because he thought it was strange that this young kid was driving a brand new convertible Rolls-Royce.

While he was pulled over, people started recognizing that it was Justin Bieber and they started to surround the car. The police officer told the crowd to back away and then instructed Justin to drive off.”

As it turns out, the undercover Police officer was following the Rolls-Royce because he had noticed the pranking and didn’t recognize the driver and felt he looked “extremely young” to be driving such an expensive car.

He pulled them over for a well-being and suspicious vehicle check.

Word is after the cop realized it was Justin Bieber everybody had a good laugh and the cops helped to disperse the crowd that had gathered before sending the singer on his way.

We think if you’re going to go out and play pranks - a better idea would have been to NOT use a $400,000 Rolls as that may be a bit conspicuous.

Bieber was in Miami with his girlfriend Selena Gomez while she was performing a show as part of her “We Own the Night” concert tour.

This was the first time Sean Kingston had been seen in public since his tragic Jet-Ski accident a few months back that left him in intensive care for weeks.

Related: Sean Kingston in critical condition after accident

But this latest run in with the cops seems to be playing into the hands of critics who say Justin has changed and is no longer that little clean-cut teen idol that used to laugh and smile all the time.

Observers say his sudden fame and tremendous financial success has started to affect his personality.

Just last week there were photos released of Justin and his dad Jeremy getting matching Hebrew Jesus tattoos under their left arm.

Related: Justin and his dad get matching Jesus tattoos - Photos

The two also inked matching five pointed star tattoos on their left elbow a few months back as well.

Not that there is anything wrong with that, it’s just that his fans were not expecting him to get inked up and start getting pulled over by cops and flipping off the paparazzi at such a young age.

We think it’s just a case of a young man growing into his teen years doing what every teen in America does at that age.

Coning is harmless – and it could be worse. He could be doing crack with Lindsay Lohan or smoking weed with Snoop Dog.

We say let him be, and hope he has the right people surrounding him while at the same time giving him enough space to be a kid.

Video - Justin Bieber Goes “Coning” – Almost Drives His Car into a Wall

What do you do when your worth $100 million dollars and bored?

You go coning!

While taking a break from working on his new album “Believe”, teen pop sensation Justin Bieber almost drove his car into a wall while coning at a local restaurant.

He also bought a Frosty from Burger King and tried to return it to a Wendy’s but was shut down by an astute manager.

And he filmed it all on his flip-cam.

As we told you last week, it seems that “Owling” is the new “Planking” but it looks like “Coning” may be taking the lead as the new social phenomenon.

The concept is simple.

Buy an ice cream cone at a drive-thru and when you grab it - you grab it upside down with the ice cream in the palm of your hand.

But I guess when you work as hard as Bieber has the last three years you are entitled to a little time off and harmless fun.

For his part, Justin has been in the studio working on his new album “Believe” – and the buzz is starting to grow.

With a list of top song writers and A-list producers working with him everyone is excited to hear what he is laying down.

Most suspect this new album will be a radical departure from his bubble gum “Baby” days and usher in the new “Justin Timberlake” era of his career.

And keeping in line with his maturing image, Bieber and his dad just released photos of their adventure to the tattoo parlor where they both got inked with matching tats of the Hebrew word for Jesus down their left side.

Photos of Justin Bieber and His Dad Jeremy Getting Hebrew Jesus Tattoos – Ouch!

We knew it! We knew sooner or later the pictures would surface.

You know what they say – like father like son.

InfoStar has just run across a few pictures of Justin Bieber and his dad, Jeremy, getting their now infamous Hebrew “Jesus” tattoos a few months ago.

Most fans knew that Justin already had a Jonathon Living Seagull tattoo on his lower left belly, but he surprised us last month while on vacation in Hawaii with Selena Gomez by showing off his new Hebrew script Jesus tattoo under his left arm.

We seem to sense a pattern here.

Now Jeremy and Justin both share a seagull tattoo, the Hebrew “Jesus” tattoo, and their newest creation was the five pointed star on their left elbow.

We first saw the star tattoo while Bieber was visiting home in Stratford last month and actually got photos of BOTH Justin and Jeremy sporting their 5 pointed star tattoo.

Related: Justin gets five pointed star tattoo on his elbow – Photo

Just looking at his dad Jeremy you can see where the Bieb’s gets his ideas from. The seagull tattoo is a family tradition with all the Bieber males when they turn sixteen.

It appears that the two are patching up the old wounds of his dad’s divorce when JB was only 18 months old.

Justin has been very vocal about the divorce and the pain it caused the family – and even wrote the song “Down to Earth” in an effort to get his feelings out.

But until recently we didn’t know a lot about his dad Jeremy – until we started doing a little snooping…..

Video - Justin Bieber Sings “Cry Me A River” During Selena Gomez Birthday Concert

Pop sensation Justin Bieber paid his girlfriend Selena Gomez a visit yesterday for her birthday.

The 17-year-old Bieber made a surprise visit on stage during Selena’s concert in Orange County last night to help celebrate her 19th birthday.

The Bieb’s took the stage during her acoustic set and belted out Justin Timberlake’s famous breakup song “Cry Me a River”.

Selena looked totally surprised but we suspect she had a good idea that something was going to happen during the show.

Watch Justin Sing "Cry Me A River" During Gomez's Birthday Concert


The only issue we would take on the surprise visit is that “Cry Me a River” is a song about breaking up a relationship – not celebrating one.

We hope Justin doesn’t know something we don’t yet.

But we think it was a perfectly innocent birthday gesture and taken at face value is actually a very romantic thing to do for his girlfriend.

Selena is currently performing concerts on tour with her band “Selena Gomez and the Scene” and promoting her new album “When the Sun Goes Down” featuring her hit single “Who Says”.

She also is starring in the recently released movie “Monte Carlo”, a comedy about three young women vacationing in Paris who find themselves whisked away to Monte Carlo after one of the girls is mistaken for a British heiress.

Gomez can also be seen this November in the comedy “The Muppets” starring alongside Mila Kunis, Emily Blunt, Neil Patrick Harris, Neil Patrick Harris, Jason Segel, and Amy Adams.

The movie is being produced by Wahlberg, Stephen Levinson, and Bieber’s manager Scott “Scooter” Braun.

Could The ESPN ESPY Awards Have Survived Without Justin Bieber?

In the Hollywood world of award shows it’s all about ratings. If your show doesn’t have the viewers you don’t have an award show for long.

So tonight during the two hour ESPY red carpet special leading up to the big awards show, we were shocked at how important of a role Justin Bieber seemed to play.

That’s right – Justin Bieber.

Some people know Justin plays basketball, ice hockey, and soccer – but most know him for his music.

To be fair, Bieber did win the MVP at last year’s NBA All-Star game, but the Wednesday night ESPN ESPY’s were supposed to be all about the athletes and the sport – not Justin Bieber.

Related: Justin Bieber wins NBA All-Star Award – Video

The sad facts:

During the two hour pre-show, Bieber’s name was dropped 46 times by the hosts and interviewers.

Forty six times. Do you believe that?

His name was mentioned more than any other athlete.

Every time they went to a commercial they said, “When we come back we’ll have Justin Bieber on the red carpet….”

Forty six times.

In fact, when the pop star did appear the host told him the crowd had cheered more for him than ANY of the athletes walking the red carpet.

Really?

Forty six times.

How awkward was it to watch grown men drop his name in what seemed like an effort to hype the show.

Forty six times.

At one point the host read a viewer’s email asking who was the most anticipated red carpet walker and he joked “Maybe Justin Bieber”.

Forty six times.

Is that what it takes to get the viewers to tune in? Do adult male sports fanatics really care?

No.

The bottom line is if Bieber would not have walked the red carpet during the preshow their probably wouldn’t have been any show.

But you can sell a lot of advertising during a two hour warm up.

Forty six times.

Sad.

I hope Seth Meyers doesn’t have 50 Bieber jokes ready to go – but I bet he has a few.

And they better not point the camera on him during the actual show every 5 seconds.

And I hope the award winners don’t drop his name just to get the audience to scream – they may be disappointed.

Video - Dani Shay Releases New Video of Her Personal Journey Through Life and Music

Dani Shay wants you to know who she is and what she is about.

She wants to share her views of music, poetry, laughter, and life – and says she is ready to share her music with the World.

“I feel that it’s my purpose, and my job to be exactly who I am.  I’ve been preparing, I’ve been learning, I’ve been growing. I know that after this I’m going to be in a HD studio recording with violins and other musicians and producers and a fancy mixing board. So thank you for welcoming me into your life.”

Many of you first met Dani Shay on the television show “America’s Got Talent” when she sang a parody of Justin Bieber’s hit song “Baby” after being told by friends and fans that she looks like the young superstar.

Twenty-two year old Dani comes from Orlando Florida and has been a musician all her life.

You can tell by her music and lyrics that there is a deep connection within her, and she is desperately trying to make sense of life’s journey through her music.

Last week, Shay was selected by the AGT judges to proceed to the live Hollywood round of the shows competition putting her one step closer to her dream.

But her journey almost ended last week when she decided to audition with her original tune “Super Heroes” and had to stop midway as her nerves got the best of her.

All three judges chastised her for singing an original, but gave Dani the opportunity to audition again with a cover of Ray LaMontagne’s “Trouble”.

It was good enough for the judges to put her through to the live Hollywood shows starting mid-July.

Almost as if she knows she is on the cusp of fame, Dani talks about her current album “See Me Now” and says it will become known as the “stuff I did before I got famous”.

She self-produced it herself and says,

“I created this 10-track album by myself in the Fall of 2010, while on a week-long, completely secluded recording retreat.  It includes 2 live bonus tracks, and has a very personal touch.  :)  I’ll sign the first 1,000 copies I sell!”

The album is available from her website Danishay.com

Shay also created a ten minute video for The Next Great Singer web site that gives us a little insight into who she is, what she is made of, what she likes, what scares her, and what her dreams are.

We suspect Dani is right – after her national media exposure on “America’s Got Talent”, and her already embedded base of music and fans, the next stop is Hollywood or Nashville to launch a full-blown music career.

Even if she doesn’t get much farther in the AGT competition, enough people have seen her, and know who she is, that it’s just a matter of time before the music labels come knocking at her door.

Once she gets the right people, financing, and marketing behind her there will be no stopping this artist.

But Dani, don’t let the system turn you into somebody you don’t want to be. Stay true to yourself and always be yourself and let the world come to you.

And about that whole looking like Justin Bieber thing - it might have been the best thing to ever happen to you as it got the World’s attention.

That’s always how it starts – with just one lucky break.

Dani Shay Going to Hollywood Round on America’s Got Talent - Video

Congratulations to Dani Shay!

Dani is the 22-year-old Justin Bieber look-a-like that comes from Orlando Florida and impressed the AGT judges in Houston.

Last month Dani wowed the America’s Got Talent judges during auditions by joking about how she looks like Justin Bieber, and belting out her own rendition of his pop tune “Baby” – it was classic!

But during last night’s callback auditions Dani almost blew it.

After starting her latest audition with an original song “Super Hero’s”, Piers warned her that singing original music was a terrible mistake and may cost her in the end.

Indeed it was a mistake.

After stumbling threw a few bars, Shay’s nerves got the best of her and she choked and had to stop the song, at one point looking like she was getting ready to pass out.

But the judges saw something they liked in the singer and they gave her another chance later in the show.

After sending her backstage, Dani quickly learned “Trouble” by Ray LaMontagne and got another chance in front of the judges.

And it paid off.

While the show only seemed to play a portion of her audition the bottom line results were positive and Dani Shay is going to Hollywood and will be part of the live shows!

And we have to agree about her decision to play an original song. We found her tune “Super Hero’s” on her YouTube channel and are glad she decided to go with a more recognizable song.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that…….

But this whole issue does bring up a potential problem for Shay.

If Dani doesn’t know a lot of good cover songs she may have trouble going the distance and winning the grand prize.

Let’s hope she’s a fast learner.

InfoStar is rooting for you Dani!

And at least she takes the attention away from the feuding Howie and Piers.

Seriously, do Howie Mandel and Piers Morgan really hate each other that much? Dial it back guys – it’s about the contestants, not you judges.
