Cheryl Cole 'pretended to kiss Bieber'

Cheryl Cole allegedly gave Justin Bieber "a pretend snog" at last week's Brit Awards.

The Sunday Mirror reports that the 'Promise This' singer jumped on the unsuspecting Bieber with her hand over his mouth after she spotted him glancing over.

"Cheryl was in great spirits. She kept catching Justin ­staring over at her. So she surprised him and pretended to kiss him," a source claimed.

While the X Factor judge left the Brits without a gong despite her two nominations, the 16-year-old 'Baby' singer won the 'International Breakthrough Act' trophy.

Justin Bieber film a solid bid for credibility

LOS ANGELES: Setting out to demonstrate that overnight sensations deserve respect too, Justin Bieber should make believers out of all but the most hardened of skeptics with "Justin Bieber: Never Say Never," which opens Friday.

An energetic 3D portrait of the global superstar as a down-to-earth teen from small-town Canada, the 105-minute documentary works overtime (by about 10 minutes too long) to change his perception from fluke Internet phenom to the hardest working 16-year-old on the planet.

And it generally succeeds, too, thanks to a visually energetic approach by director Jon Chu that keeps all the obligatory backstage/onstage bits moving fluidly.

In a business where timing is everything, the Paramount release is perfectly positioned for maximum impact especially considering an ambitious media blitz that saw Bieber extending his demographic reach with appearances on "The Daily Show" and "Late Show With David Letterman."

Unlike, say, the 2009 Jonas Brothers 3D concert film, which felt like it came out a couple of years too late, "Never Say Never" is striking while the fever's still hot, which should translate into more Miley-sized returns. "Hannah Montana" debuted to $31.1 million three years ago, and "Jonas Brothers" to just north of $12 million.

Starting off, appropriately, on a YouTube page, where Bieber famously overtook the sneezing pandas and cute kitties singing a cover of Chris Brown's "With You," the film follows the trajectory of its main man's career from behind his kiddie drum kit to the mighty Madison Square Garden stage, which, incidentally, was sold out in a mere 22 minutes.

Along the way we meet his young, devout Christian single mom, Pattie (who gave birth to The Bieb when she was all of 18) and his baby-faced manager, Scooter Braun, not to mention several of his more famous, early adherents, including Usher and prolific producer Antonio "L.A." Reid, who in the remarkably self-possessed Bieber saw a musical Macaulay Culkin.

Director Chu, who infuses the film with the same lively zip he lent "Step Up 3D" (although here he's working with a more intriguing "script"), keeps things disarmingly real for the most part, and even manages to work in a little drama when it appears Bieber's raggedy voice may not bounce back in time for the MSG gig.

And much like in Chu's previous film, the 3D pops mainly in the performance sequences, in which he's joined by the likes of Usher, Cyrus, Ludacris and Jaden Smith, where all the fist-pumping, dancing lasers and cascading ticker tape work to heightened effect.

But where the film ultimately hits home is with the more intimate, backstage stuff.

Under the protective wing of an on-the-road support system serving as, in the words of one of his crew, a highly functional dysfunctional family, Bieber manages to make his film's inspirational message heard loud and clear:

Despite your preconceived notions, he's just your average, everyday multiplatinum-selling teen idol who still likes to kick back with his Stratford, Ontario, homies and grab a slice at the corner pizza joint.

After saying grace, naturally.

Abhishek stuck by Justin Bieber!

Bollywood star Abhishek Bachchan has promised his niece Navya Naveli that he will listen to international teen sensation Justin Bieber's songs, but his composer friend Vishal Dadlani is asking him to stay away from the teen sensation.

"My promise to my niece this new year that i'll start listening to Justin Beiber. oh god help me..... guess never say never!!!! (sic)," Abhishek posted on his Twitter page.

To this, Vishal of music composer duo Vishal-Shekhar, commented: "OH. MY. GOD!!! Run, AB, run!! That whiny-girl voice, those syrupy songs, it's a fate worse than death!"

The composer has also invited Abhishek to bring his 13-year-old niece for one of his shows.

"Bring her to the show, yo! We'll get her off that bieber-music. Promise!" Dadlani posted.

Justin Bieber as influential as President Obama?

Can you imagine a teenage pop sensation being almost as influential as the President?

Well, looks like its happened! Justin Bieber’s name is everywhere, so it kind of makes sense that he has been ranked as being almost as influential as President Barack Obama.

The site Klout measures peoples’ influence through various social networking media and ranked Bieber pretty high up.
Bieber was not only on top when it came to musical figures, but he was only second to Obama.
Apparently Obama was ranked number one, but he has a youngster gaining on him.
Others who made the list include Sarah Palin and LeBron James.

Usher 'buys Bieber Christmas gifts'

Usher has reportedly bought his protégé Justin Bieber some expensive gifts for Christmas.

According to The Sun, the 'OMG' singer was seen at New York outlet Andrew Buckler buying a sweater, jeans and a shirt for the teen star.

A source said: "He told the staff he was shopping for Justin. He was talking about Bieber's clothing size to make sure he would get the right fit for him."

Bieber had previously joked that he hoped Usher would buy him a motorbike, after he had been given a Range Rover for his 16th birthday.

Justin Bieber Prevails in American Music Awards

Evidently, Justin Bieber ruled the American Music Awards when he snapped all four prizes in one night. The 38th annual American Awards was conducted last Sunday night at the Los Angeles Nokia Theater, where Bieber was hailed “Artist of the Year”.

Apart from that, this 16 year-old pop star also won 3 other statuettes for favorite pop album for his My World 2.0 album, favorite pop artist, as well as the breakthrough artist. He won in all categories where he was nominated. Bieber was discovered by Scooter Braun, along with Eminem in 2008 upon seeing his videos on YouTube.

This young heartthrob outran other popular artists such as Eminem, Katy Perry, and Lady Gaga for the top-prized awards. The winners were decided by the votes of fans, which expectedly gave Bieber the advantage from most of the teenage girls’ votes around the world.

Going into the Sunday’s event, Eminem, as well as Lady Antebellum headed the candidates with five nominees each. Eminem, who didn’t attend the event, fell behind Bieber when he just won two prizes for the favorite male rap/hip-hop artist and best rap/hip-hop for his album, Recovery, against Bieber’s three awards, while Lady Antebellum won the best country group.

Justin Bieber Under Investigation For Assault

Justin Bieber is being investigated for an assault by Canadian authorities. The investigation seems like a total waste of time, at least if a staffer from the facility is telling the truth.

Some 12 year old and his father are claiming that Bieber assaulted his son during a game of taser tag.

Supposedly, this is how it went down. This is according to the account of laser tag staffer. He was cornered by a group of boys during the game. In an effort to get away he ran away and accidentally hit the kid. The boy had no visible injuries. The boy’s father called in the complaint.

The Richmond, British Columbia police are investigating the incident. Again, it seems like much ado about nothing. Perhaps this is a case of someone looking to make a little bit, or a lot, of money by making a bogus claim.

Hopefully, everything gets dropped and Bieber considers this a lesson learned. There are people, actually opportunist, out there looking for a pay day, so beware!

Justin Bieber to Reign Over Ashton Kutcher’s Punk’d Revival

Move over Ashton Kutcher, seems like a certain teen icon in the name of Justin Bieber will soon be taking over your throne as the new host (and king) of Punk’d. According to a variety of sources, MTV is currently working to revive its past series Punk’d , with the teen heartthrob as the new host.

Having been established himself as a young and influential pop icon, MTV believes that Bieber is just the right one to hold the program whose pranks is primarily aimed for the entertainment of teenagers and those who are in their early 20s and 30s. MTV also believes that it will be another good leap for Bieber’s career as the show will add to his exposure and popularity. Sources said that if everything went well into plan, the show will be premiered early next year.

As for Ashton, is he harboring hard feelings that he is now kicked out of his own series where he got his own share of popularity?

Definitely not. For starters, Ashton Kutcher was the one who actually created the show. In fact, Kutcher’s own production company, Katalyst, will be the one starting the program again. Kutcher, will definitely be returning as a part of Punk’d but as an executive producer together with Jason Goldberg.

Beiber Caught In A Lip Lock With Video Girl

Justin Bieber, who has become the latest tweener heart throb was caught kissing a video chick in the back of a Honda. Just to clarify, the “video chick” is actually Jasmine Villegas.

This is the young lady who starred in his music video for the song “Baby.” Since that appearance, things have been looking up for Ms. Villegas. She is now the opening act on Bieber’s concert tour.

Not sure how well she things or what type of songs she sings but she nabbed what had to be a coveted spot for a pop singer. This isn’t the first time that rumors have swirled around the two.

Until the two were busted in the backseat of a car smooching, the “company line” was that the two were just really good friends. Now, that it is obvious that, that likely isn’t the truth, it looks like Biebs will either have to come up with something more believable or try to ignore the buzz and pretend like nothing went down.

I guess we’ll soon find out which direction Justin and his peeps decide to go. Stay tuned…..
