Justin Bieber dolls to invade Christmas

There’s a joke in here somewhere about the Bieb being already small enough to fit in your pocket or being “doll sized”, but that would be hitting below the belt (or the top of the Bieb’s head for anyone of average height).

Sorry, couldn’t help myself. 

The Bieber dolls (lets call them Biebites) will be available this December, just in time for the holiday season.  Each Biebite plays a different 30 second clip of one of the Bieb’s songs and is made of plastic, just like the actual one’s personality. 

Resistance may be futile, but on the plus side, if you ever wanted to do unspeakable things to Justin Bieber without actually breaking any laws your time is nigh.  So, yay?

The Twitter-verse turns on The Bieb

Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later.  

The Bieb, who has millions of followers on his Twitter account, learned last night what happens when you blaspheme in the eyes of the faithfull. 

It all started when TMZ posted photos taken a little over a week ago (that may or may not have been staged for publicity) showing the Bieb making out with the 16 year old opening act of his concert who’s also the co-star from his “Baby” video.  Guess that’s one way of ensuring job security.

This did not sit well with some of his fans, who created #getsomejustin to poke fun at the diminutive singer and his raging hormones.

That Tweet took off, and eventually things got so out of hand, the Bieb’s manager Scooter (heh), started Tweeting in the Bieb’s defense on his own  Twitter account, calling for a cease and desist by pulling out the tired “he’s just a kid and can’t defend himself” song and dance that seems to be the Bieb’s signature move whenever faced with adversity.

Kids that earn millions in an adult industry don’t get to hide behind their age when things don’t go their way, sorry. 

Also? The Bieb’s used Twitter for evil himself, posting a kid’s number and telling his followers to text message him when he got annoyed that the kid called him after finding out his number.

Live by the Tweet, die by the Tweet.

The Bieb hits up Hooters

I hope parents of Bieblevers (his crazed tweenage female fan base) realize that this almost guarantees some of their daughters will now ask for breast implants for their birthdays or Christmas.

Guys from the Bieb’s road crew were eating at the Hooters in the West Edmonton Mall when they promised the girls the Bieb in exchange for copping a feel got talked into getting the Bieb to come in for a photo op. 

Cue countdown for (A) outraged parents bitching about the inappropriateness of the Bieb going to Hooters in the first place, and (B) a hit put on the girls in this photo by jealous 10 to 13 year olds.

MTV VMA Round-up

Anyone else find it kind of ironic that a network that barley plays music videos anymore in favor of crap-tastic reality TV programming still has an wards show dedicated to the medium?

Anyway, at this point it’s a foregone conclusion that Chelsea Handler won’t be back to host next year’s awards show, or any other for that matter.  Granted, she wasn’t given much to work with fresh out of jail rehab Lindsay Lohan in a pre-taped skit for example, but when your so-so opening is the best part of your hosting duties, your in trouble.

Usher and his little protege the Bieb showed up on the red carpet together (creepy dynamic) and both performed separate numbers during the show. Usher blew the crowd away singing OMG and his new single, DJ Got Us Fallin’ In Love Again (great tune), while the Bieb, who’s voice is starting to change, relied on canned music and vocals, even though he had a “drum solo” in which he lost one of the drum sticks several seconds into his performance.  No matter though, his followers on Twitter all gave him props for his “amazing performance”.  Snort.

Speaking of the Bieb, he also won for Best New Artist for the video Baby, and had trouble finding the stage when he went to accept the award.  Cripes, this kid is stupid.  

Since the Bieb won for Best New Artist about a year and change after appearing out of nowhere, I’m betting rapper Drake wins it next, even though by that point his album will have been out for over a year and he’ll have been making music for almost two.  Such is the time delayed pop-culture relevance of award shows.

Other winners include Jay-Z and Alicia Keys, who’s video Empire State of Mind won for Best Cinematography, Jared Leto’s band 30 Seconds To Mars video Kings and Queens was named for Best Rock Video, and the Black Keys won Breakout Video for Tighten Up.

Justin Bieber as you’ve never heard him before


“>

 

Sounds like he’s channeling This Mortal Coil, Dead Can Dance and the Cocteau Twins.  All it took was for someone to take his song “U Smile” and slow it down 8x.

Hmm.  Not bad. 

If the teen pop sensation thing ever dries up for him, he has a potential career to turn to creating soundtracks for sci-fi and other genre films (Ridley Scott take note).

Do not piss off the Bieb. Ever.

Or he will have his Twitter followers, 4.5 million strong, make life….difficult.

Apparently, it all started because 15 year old Kevin Kristopik hacked into the Facebook account of one of Justin Bieber’s friends by claiming he was the friend and forgot the password.  All the answers were available on the Internet and he got in (clever).  Kristopik read a couple of messages from the Bieb, got his private phone number, then started to text him trying to get a response.  The Bieb took exception to this and just before midnight on Saturday posted the following Tweet.

Within minutes, Kristopik got 26,000 text messages (I’d hate to see that cell phone bill).  He’s since deleted his Twitter account and he and his mother made an appearance on  Inside Edition last night, demanding an apology. 

Pffffft.

Good luck with that one.  The only way he’ll get it is if the Bieb and his handlers think there’s even the slightest possibility that Mother Kristopik can sue and win (she’s probably already contacted a lawyer).

On the plus side, she can probably now scratch off any future releases of the Bieb’s from her son’s Christmas and birthday wish lists.

Pimping for Proactiv with the Bieb


“>

 

Looks like skin care/acne med line Proactiv is getting proactive by hiring Justin Bieber to shill for them in the hopes of bringing in the lucrative obsessed pimpley tween market (“But Mom, Justin uses it, so I have to too!”).

Doesn’t puberty have to rear it’s ugly head before you  need to start worrying about acne?  Guess if a company is going to pay you mega-bucks to shill, you tell folks it’s a problem, whether it actually is or not.

As for this commercial spot, it tries so hard, it’s almost painfully embarrassing to watch, yo.

Justin Bieber needs to work on his reflexes


“>
 

Clearly, the child has never played dodge ball or got into a snow-ball fight.

Yeah it’s mean.  Don’t kid yourself, you smiled too.  No word if the water bottle thrower made it out of the concert alive or if they were torn limb from limb for their sacrilege.

Justin Bieber is going Hollywood

Another Justin Bieber post already?  Ugh.

In addition to working on a new album and having his “memoir” released this fall, now comes word that Pamount Pictures is getting in while the getting is good before the singer’s fifteen minutes are up.

A Justin Bieber bio-pic (in 3-D  of course) will be released early next year which will include footage from the Bieb’s current world tour.  Sounds riveting.  Something tells me the movie will will be light on the bio and acting, heavy on the performances.

Although it hasn’t been given a title as of yet, maybe the studio ought to call it 1/8 Mile, given the Bieb’s height, or lack thereof.
