VIDEO - Justin Bieber to Host “Saturday Night Live” This Year – Has He Got The Funny?

2012-01-30T14:54:00.000-05:00

Justin Bieber visits with Wayne and Garth from SNL

A lot of celebrities who host SNL say it is the apex of their career - and it signifies the top of their game and popularity.

So when news broke that Justin Bieber is on deck to host Saturday Night Live during 2012 we had to wonder… will he be a good host? Can he bring the funny?

And we think the answer is a resounding YES!

In fact, Bieber has already proved he can be funny. Just ask Tina Fey from when she hosted SNL a while back and did a couple of funny sketches with Bieber.

See? We think he has the funny – and that sketch was from when Justin was only the musical guest for the night!

Bieber has also done funny parodies with Jimmy Fallen as well. Remember the “Someday” commercial parody?

Bieber DOES have a sense of humor - and he can be funny when he wants to.

In fact, we think Bieber would be an excellent host for SNL and we will definitely watch it.

Head Honcho Lorne Michaels and mega host Alec Baldwin say that not only will Bieber host during 2012 but he will ALSO be the night’s musical guest,

“The biggest names in the business are coming here thirty-something years after SNL's debut to host the show. Ben Stiller, Melissa McCarthy, who won the Emmy award, and Katy Perry’s coming and Jimmy Fallon, who’s double-dipping on your payroll, Jonah Hill, and I don’t want to ruin any other names, but Justin Bieber’s confirmed, he’s the musical guest and the host.”

This could be good. We see possible sketches about the pregnant mom and baby scare, Belieber problems, Selena problems, tattoo overload, and others.

It almost seems endless!

Kudos Justin. A hosting gig on Saturday Night Live is well deserved and we’re sure you’ll do great!

Pat Sajak say he and Vanna used to get drunk on "Wheel"

Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak told ESPN talk show host Dan LeBatard today that he used to host the popular game show while drunk.

Now, we long suspected that Pat’s heart was not into the production at all times but we had no idea he was drunk!

And to add insult to injury, Pat says that co-host Vanna White was sloshed also.

We knew that “Wheel of Fortune” taped 3 or 4 shows in the same day but we never knew what happened during those long extended breaks.

We have a whole new respect for Pat and Vanna…. But what else don’t we know?

Ryan Butler and Justin Bieber in gold mask at Venice Beach

Justin Bieber was spotted at Venice Beach last weekend with his dad and best friend Ryan Butler, and he… well… was freaking people out a little bit.

Bieber was wearing a gold mask while photographers snapped pictures, and at one point took up a basketball game while still wearing the mask.

Nobody really knows if Bieber was trying to conceal his identity, playing a practical joke, or just being a nut.

Bieber has already come under some scrutiny for inking a tattoo of Jesus on his left leg, and now he’s parading around in gold masks…

Justin’s dad Jeremy was also along for the ride at Venice Beach and was seen showing off his new tattoo of….. uh, well… flowers.

Well, our favorite world famous pop star is at it again….

Justin Bieber just showed off his new leg tattoo of Jesus yesterday while frolicking on the beach shirtless with his dad Jeremy.

And this is not Justin’s first tattoo either...

He already has a small Jonathon Living Seagull tattoo on his waist and a Hebrew symbol tattoo under his arm that stands for “Jesus”.

Justin temporarily sported a star tattoo on his elbow last year but that one turned out to be only a temporary ink blot.

Bieber’s new leg tattoo is based on the image of Jesus called "Ecce Homo" or "Behold the Man" - the word spoken by Pilate. The eyes are generally depicted looking upward toward God.

Justin and his dad Jeremy were spotted on a beach near Los Angeles and JB was running around shirtless showing his trademark grey underwear and you could clearly see the Jesus leg tattoo with the naked eye.

As far as we can tell his dad didn’t indulge in this undertaking like he has in previous tattoo adventures.

Here is a duet we didn’t expect – Justin Bieber and Carlos Santana paired up in New York City to celebrate the New Year and somewhere along the way they decided to sing a song together.

And not just any song either.

Justin played the piano and sang to the Beatles classic “Let it Be” and Carlos Santana jammed on the guitar.

This performance just put Justin in a whole different league…

We got to give it to Justin for his performance but we have a sneaky feeling that by tomorrow morning this video will be yanked from YouTube and no longer be available.

TMZ is reporting that Lambert was even fighting with bystanders who were trying to break to two lovebirds apart.

Both Lambert and Sauli Koskinen were arrested and transported to a jail in Helsinki and later released after being questioned by police.

Neither Adam nor Sauli were injured and no arrests were made.

Sauli later went online to say,

"Publicity is not easy, but also celebrities are just human. Love is not easy either, but it lasts forever!"

Lambert was not on tour but was vacationing with his boyfriend Sauli who was born in Finland.

The fight broke out in a gay club called “Don't Tell Mama”.

Three year old Jazzy, also known as Jazmyn, was welcomed to the stage by big brother Justin for a little impromptu chatting and singing.

Justin Bieber and his funniest moments caught on tape!

The one good thing about being the biggest superstar in the World is that everything you do is probably caught on tape.

And Justin Bieber is no exception!

The following video compiled by belieberforever100 shows Justin Bieber’s funniest moments caught on tape during 2010-2011.

Thanks to all who contributed their time and energy to put these videos together - we should all go subscribe to their YouTube Channel to show our appreciation!

It’s all here – the first mustache, the Penguieber, the backstage horsing around, the good interviews gone bad, the sprinkler, the coning, the Derrick Bieber, and tons more.

These are truly some of the funniest moments of the Bieb’s at work since he became the most famous person in the world.

And if that’s not enough to tickle your funny bone then here is another one compiled by Cutietutietal that goes back even farther in time.

And just make sure you have had enough Bieber funny for one day we are including a third video by Jbieberwolfpack that includes just about everything else not covered elsewhere.

There. That should hold you.

We do make one observation however, and we don’t mean this in a bad way, but it seems that Justin was much funnier and carefree in his younger days.

Perhaps the last few years of intense media exposure and heavy work schedule has taken a little bit of the luster off the whole World dominating superstar thing…

We’re just saying…

VIDEO - Justin Bieber and Stevie Wonder Unite for “Someday At Christmas” Duet – Classic!

2011-12-18T15:21:00.000-05:00

Stevie Wonder and Justin Bieber sing Some Day at Christmas

Sometimes in life things come around full circle.

I remember right when Justin Bieber started to become famous, I watched the YouTube video of him singing Stevie Wonder’s “Someday at Christmas” when he was only 12-years-old.

Bieber’s voice was as pure as it could get - standing alone on that stage in Stratford Ontario - not even aware that in a very short time his life was going to be changed forever.

In fact, I still occasionally watch that video to remind myself how pure and innocent his voice was. See if you agree…

Doesn’t that just give you goose bumps? I mean really…

Then, a few years later, Bieber graced the stage at the White House and had the amazing opportunity to sing the very same song in front of President and Mrs. Obama and their two daughters.

It was good, but you could tell his nerves may have got the best of him – but it was still good. See if you agree…

Not bad right?

But last night Justin had the rarest opportunity of all – to sing “Someday at Christmas” with the man himself… Stevie Wonder!

Justin joined Stevie on stage at the "Stevie’s House Full of Toys" benefit concert at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles and they both did what they do so well.

Not bad eh?

Well… actually, we thought it was a bit weak and seemed as if it had been thrown together at the last minute and only rehearsed once.

Justin started late, sang flat in some places and was terribly sharp at the end. It seemed like neither one of them knew what the other was going to do.

I guess you really can’t out master the master after all.

In the end I still go back to that little 12 year old kid, alone on the stage in Stratford, singing his heart out in a talent contest without the bright glare of the World staring at him.

Sometimes it’s the simple things that are the sweetest.

Know what I mean?

Sometimes people get it right….. and sometimes they miss it by a mile.

Howard Stern Lands “Americas Got Talent” Judge Chair – Parents Cry Foul

2011-12-15T14:54:00.000-05:00

America's Got Talent - Howard Stern to replace Piers Morgan

Howard Stern has a new job – and not everybody is happy about it.

Stern, fresh off a $400 million deal at Sirius XM Radio has been named the new judge on NBC’s “America’s Got Talent” replacing Piers Morgan.

Howard Stern

While we are glad that Piers Morgan is gone because we really hated him and thought he was one of the most prideful and stuck up people in the world, we were not prepared to hear that Howard Stern will be replacing him.

And the Parents Television Council is not happy with AGT either – saying the move was a desperate act by the failing network to try and grab ratings at the expense of polluting the minds of our children saying,

“We are stunned the network would hire Howard Stern, a performer who is synonymous with shock, profanity and obscenity. The once-proud broadcast network has lost its way and has made it clear it holds no concern whatsoever for children and families. Not coincidentally, in just over three weeks the network will be standing before the United States Supreme Court arguing for the right to use the F-word at any time of the day, even in front of children."

The move may actually backfire on NBC because America's Got Talent is supposed to be about the contestants and not the judges.

Over the past two seasons viewers grew tired of the constant infighting between judges Piers Morgan and Howie Mandel saying it distracted from the show.

Related: Do Piers and Howie Mandel really hate each other? – Video
Related: America's Got Talent turns into a joke - is it the next Gong Show?

We agree. The feuds between Howie and Piers were why we stopped watching it last season.

Reports are that Stern will pull in more than $40 million per season – if it lasts that long.

We’re not even going to give it a watch this season – we pass. And we’re also passing on Simon Cowells atrocious disaster called the “X Factor.”

In light of Alec Baldwin’s recent ejection from an American Airline flight for causing a disturbance, he took to SNL over the weekend to declare himself a National Treasure.

Baldwin was removed from the flight for refusing to turn off his phone while playing the game “Words with friends”.

The timing was perfect - and Baldwin, no stranger to Saturday Night Live, took to the Weekend Update desk alongside Seth Meyers to parody his problems.

Kind of cool that within 24 hours of the incident Baldwin could call in a favor from Lorne Michaels and be on SNL for a comedy spot.

After a busy last few weeks with “Mistletoe” promo and TV appearances, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez headed to Cabo San Lucas Mexico for a little rest and relaxation.

But it wasn’t all fun and games as the couple was there to attend a private wedding for an old friend and costume designer Shannon Larossi from Selena’s TV days on “Wizards of Waverly Place”.

Justin Bieber in Cabo Mexico

Justin didn’t bring any family along but Selena brought along her pregnant mother Mandy and her stepfather Brian.

The couple did find some time to snag a photographer and some sun tan lotion and hit the beach for a little sun worshiping.

Bieber was shirtless and showing off his tattoos while Selena was sporting a tiny blue bikini - and there probably wasn’t a cuter couple to be seen for a thousand miles.

However, this time the two lovebirds seemed to be able to keep their public display of affection to a minimum and gave the photog the good old fashion “celebrities on the beach” photo session.

Justin was just in Florida at Walt Disney World to kick of the holiday celebrations and also just released the official video for “Santa Clause is Coming to Town” music video.

The two love birds will return to Los Angeles in a few days and plan to split their time with family and friends in L.A., Atlanta, Stratford, and Texas for the Holidays.

Video - Mythbusters Cannon Ball Experiment Goes Bad And Blasts Through Two Houses!

2011-12-07T12:39:00.001-05:00

Large Hole From Cannon Ball After Mythbusters Accident

We love the Discovery Channels science TV show Mythbusters. They’ve debunked some of the best myths ever to grace our sordid history.

But yesterday the show was put on hold after a cannon ball experiment went bad and the hosts shot a cannon ball through two houses and into a Dublin California couple’s minivan by accident.

Poor Jamie

The experiment, created by hosts Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage, was intended to illustrate what happens when you shoot NON cannon ball stuff out of a cannon.

The cannon was fired from the bomb range at Camp Parks but the ball traveled outside the grounds and into a residential housing area.

“The ball was supposed to hit a bunch of trash cans filled with water but it missed. Instead it ripped through a concrete wall, skipped over a hill of dirt before coming to rest in the city of Dublin.”

The Discovery channel has stopped taping the show until they complete an internal investigation.

We figured it was just a matter of time before something like this happened on the show. These guys do some pretty crazy things but always seem to take the necessary safety precautions.

Audio: Adam Carolla's Anti Occupy Wall Street Rant – Pride Before The Fall?

2011-12-03T08:17:00.001-05:00

Radio host Adam Carolla’s seems to be getting his first experience with the effects of pride, vanity, jealousy, envy, shame, revenge, wealth, and fame.

It’s all so Hollywood.

Last week he took to his radio show to rant about this whole occupy Wall Street movement, and it seems he deserves everything he has and all the problems we are having are OUR fault for not working hard enough and having low paying jobs.

Our troubles seem to have nothing to do with the greed, corruption, power and influence the uber wealthy have unleashed on an unsuspecting working class.

Carolla seems to take the typical Hollywood line when he tries to explain his frustration - taking the approach that “I earned it now leave me alone and go back to your bad day job, little house, fat wife and ugly kids.”

He seems to blame our woes on a culture where every kid on the soccer team gets a trophy – just for participating, and the real star of the game doesn’t get any special attention.

No Adam, you are not King and we will not bow down to worship you for your hard work and big bank account.

He views the current problem as a bunch of “self-entitled people” who are envious of others with wealth and all they want to do is throw rocks at our nice expensive toys.”

Now, this is pig man Adam Carolla talking here – the guy who bashed women and made rude and crude jokes on the “Man Show” to earn part of his fortune.

Adam’s Occupy Wall Street movement rant on his radio program showed us what we suspected all along – Carolla doesn’t seem to get why 99% of the public are frustrated these days.

It’s not ALL about you and your influence and money Adam. Here is the uncensored interview:

Yes Adam, it is as old as the Bible - especially the part where it says “Pride comes before the fall and a haughty spirit before the destruction.”

Maybe you just haven’t got to that part yet.

You are in a privileged class but seem unable to identify with those who have lost their job, home, retirement savings, etc., due to the greed and corruption by the banks, Wall Street, Federal Reserve, and our own Government.

You have your money so to hell with everybody else.

Your pride has become a little puffed up and even YOU flaunt your fame, money, and toys in an effort to impress.

Shame shame shame.

I’m surprised you didn’t take the line from Marie Antoinette where she said “Let them eat cake”.

Adam, the rich and powerful never understand why the poor hard working salt of the earth doth protest too much.

And yes, it is as old as the Bible.

Now you should read the rest of the good book where it talks about men and their money, power, and influence – pay close attention to the part where it cautions men about wallowing in their own gains while forgetting about the rest of the world’s problems.

Good riddance Adam Carolla. You and Howard Stern are like two peas in a pod, and we’re sorry that our countries problems have interfered with your fun.

And we’re not envious – we’re frustrated. Frustrated that people like you can earn what you do for being such a jackass.

Don’t let the size of your paycheck cloud your compassion, wisdom, empathy, and perceived talent.

Video - Lady Gaga in “Marry The Night” Extended Video and Short Story – Bizarre!

2011-12-02T09:03:00.001-05:00

Lady Gaga in her extended "Marry The Night" Video

In a somewhat bizarre combination of video and short film, Mother Monster Lady Gaga has released an extended video to her “Marry The Night” music video.

It starts with what sounds like the ramblings of an insane person, but maybe that’s just what she wants us to think.

With tears streaming down her face, Gaga is seen in a hospital bed being checked by a nurse. Gaga tells her “I’m going to be famous one day” and “I have nothing left to lose.”

It is truly a strange, bizarre, weird video. Things then transition to the music portion, and if you close your eyes and listen you can almost see Madonna in your head.

“Marry The Night” is a strange video indeed and we’re not sure why she felt the need to go to these lengths of bizarre to get her point across.

But then again, she IS Lady Gaga.

Who would have thought that the words Lady Gaga and Quantum Physics would ever be uttered in the same sentence?

Strange stuff indeed. The song and music seems ok but it doesn't seem that different from her usual music. It almost seems unremarkable compared with the strange introduction.

But hey, what do we know about what goes on deep inside that monster brain of hers!

Comedian Patrice O'Neal Dead From Stroke at 41

Patrice O'Neal Performing His Comedy Routine

Comedian Patrice O’Neal has died from complications after suffering a stroke last month.

O’Neal was a stand-up comedian who was seen frequently on TV and comedy clubs throughout New York and the rest of the United States.

He was also a fixture on the Opie and Anthony syndicated radio program.

Patrice was last seen on television last September on Comedy Central’s roast of Charlie Sheen, where his own fight with diabetes became a punch line.

O’Neal also appeared in numerous small roles on television including The Office, Scary Movie 4, The Jury, and Arrested Development.

The Boston native was known for his rough comedy and says he frequently had people walk out of comedy clubs saying,

“A lot of people walk out of my show. If I've got 250-300 people in the audience, 20 will walk out. I average about 20 walkouts, which is good. Because everybody else stays, and I love that. That's what comedy is. Not everybody should be laughing at everything at the same time. That's not even natural. My thing is to feel natural, because I don't want to feel like I could just make people laugh at every single joke, every single time, with the same decibel level. I like to be loved or hated - I don't like mediocre. So I'd rather have the entire crowd hate me than to have 90% hate me.”

Charlie Sheen and other celebrities took to twitter and Facebook Tuesday to give O'Neals friends and family their condolences.

RIP Patrice.

Young Karate master Leo Howard has sure had a busy year!

First, the black belted prodigy was signed to Disney XD for their new karate themed TV sitcom “Kick’n It” - about young Jack who tries to save the Wasabi Karate Dojo with his friends.

He also starred as the young Conan in the summer movie thriller “Conan the Barbarian”.

Leo also took part in Disney’s new prank show “PrankStar”, and had the opportunity to prank his biggest fan in a spoof involving a fake dojo and bizarre karate class.

And to round out his year, 14-year-old Howard was just profiled in “Black Belt” magazine where he talked about his career, family, social life, and what he looks for in a girl.

Now, Leo is back for a second season of Disney XD’s “Kick’n It” which launches its first new season showing on October 17th.

“The first season was a runaway success and Leo Howard quickly became the breakaway star. His fan base grew exponentially and it became clear that they wanted to see more of him. It was easy to order a second season after seeing the ratings of season one. Leo has become a teen idol.”

Leo, who has been performing martial arts since he was old enough to walk, has capitalized on his martial arts skills and turned them into a TV and movie career.

And Leo is no stranger to TV and movies.

In 2010 he starred in the hit movie “Logan”, and in 2009 he played the role of Snake Eyes in the summer blockbuster “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra”.

He also starred in Disney’s “Leo Little's Big Show” and “Zeke and Luther” before getting his role on “Kick’n It”.

The young star also has an impressive social media following on Facebook, Twitter, and his own official web site and blog.

Not a bad career for somebody who is only 14-years-old.

Video - Jimmy Fallon Does Jim Morrison – NAILS IT!

2011-11-18T20:57:00.001-05:00

NBC's Jimmy Fallon Does Jim Morrison

Any fan of Jimmy Fallon knows he has does a number of impersonations that are spot on.

Fallon has nailed Charlie Sheen, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Meat Loaf, and even Justin Bieber.

But last week Fallon nailed the big one with his impersonation of the Doors front man Jim Morrison - even Jay Leno commented about how good it was.

Fallon did a superb job as Morrison singing the theme song to, of all things - “The Reading Rainbow”.

And yes, that was a SOCK stuffed down his pants to make him look more like…. well, um… you get the picture.

This is why we love late night TV.

Here are some other great Fallon impersonations:

Natalie Wood Death Investigation Reopened – Robert Wagner Prime Suspect

2011-11-18T14:59:00.001-05:00

Captain Dennis Davern says Robert Wagner Killed Natalie Wood

Sometimes in Hollywood people come out of the woodwork to try and capitalize on a celebrity’s fame, fortune, and demise.

Just ask Justin Bieber about his paternity lawsuit.

And in an attempt to reopen thirty year old wounds, the boat captain who piloted the vessel that actress Natalie Wood fell off of and died has brought to light some new allegations.

Wagner and Wood

Los Angeles police are talking to Captain Dennis Davern after he claims he lied to police 30 years ago when interviewed - but now wants to come clean about what happened that night on his boat.

Because he wants “Justice” – NOT money. Yea right.

Davern wrote a book called “Goodbye Natalie, Goodbye Splendour”, and the 30 year anniversary of that fateful night is November 29th.

And one of the people on the boat that night, actor Dennis Hopper, has passed away and can no longer answer any questions.

That only leaves Wood’s husband Robert Wagner, actor Christopher Walken, and Captain Dennis Davern who really know what happened off the coast of Catalina in 1981.

Police say Natalie Wood fell overboard and died and investigators ruled the death accidental, but Davern now writes in his book that it was all a lie and there is more to the story.

He claims everybody was drunk and Wagner and Woods had a huge fight and he now “remembers” that Robert Wagner pushed her overboard and caused her death.

So after writing his book, somebody (not Davern) contacted the cops and media outlets to say the Captain had some "new recollections" that would blow the case wide open.

Wagner quickly responded saying,

“I trust they will evaluate whether any new information relating to the death of Natalie Wood Wagner is valid, and that it comes from a credible source or sources other than those simply trying to profit from the 30-year anniversary of her tragic death.”

Indeed.

Davern took to the “Today” show Friday to blow the case wide open, but instead came across looking like some kind of baseball cap wearing money hungry slob who hadn’t shaved in weeks who ultimately didn’t have much to say after all.

Yea, that looks and sounds like a guy who would lie to his own mother.

If you’re going to go on national television to call somebody a murderer you should have spent just a little more time getting prepared – and cleaned up.

Epic Fail.

Police say they are taking the new information seriously and will look at all the new information.

InfoStar’s Take?

Davern will be exposed for what he is and the investigation will be closed and we can all get back to what we were doing.

Justin Bieber’s Baby Drama is OVER – Mariah Yeater Drops Her Lawsuit and Goes into Hiding

2011-11-16T10:22:00.001-05:00

Justin Bieber and his Accuser Mariah Yeater

The Justin Bieber pregnancy baby momma drama appears to be over!

Yesterday, Bieber’s legal team headed by famous lawyer Howard Weitzman said they were notified that Mariah Yeater has dropped her lawsuit against the singer.

In addition, Yeater’s lawyers have withdrawn from the case and say they will no longer represent the accusing baby momma.

Awkward.

As we reported last week, Bieber was planning to return to the United States this week and take a DNA test that he said would prove his innocence.

Bieber’s team was then planning to bring a wrongful and malicious lawsuit against Yeater to set an example for others that may wish to extort Justin with a bogus claim in the future.

We suspect that since the suit has been dropped that Bieber will NOT proceed with any kind of legal action against Yeater and will just let the story fade into the past.

Last week Yeater told The Insider all the dirty sexy details of meeting the singer after a concert and having sex with him in a bathroom at the Staples Center in L.A.

Related: Mariah Yeater talks publicly about sex with Justin Bieber - Video

Justin went public the next day on the TODAY show and told Matt Lauer that he had NEVER met Yeater and the story was just a way to try and get some of his money.

InfoStar’s Take:

Case closed. Let’s move on – there is nothing to see here.

Video - Rick Perry Gets Lampooned By Jimmy Fallon AND David Letterman

2011-11-11T07:51:00.001-05:00

Jimmy Fallon as Rick Perry

Well, nobody ever said running for President was easy - just ask Rick Perry.

After Perry’s disastrous display at the last presidential debate where he FORGOT the third government agency he would close down, the late night comedy world took aim at him for a few laughs.

First, David Letterman did a hilarious Rick Perry Top Ten List of Excuses.

One of the funniest lines was “Hey, you try concentrating with Mit Romney staring at you… that’s one handsome dude.”

Now there are two words we thought we would never hear in the same sentence – Justin Bieber and Rick Perry!

But the laughs didn’t stop there.

Jimmy Fallon also took to the makeup chair for one of his best parodies to date to spoof Perry and the other candidates in a new series of GOP presidential campaign ads.

But Fallon didn’t stop with Rick Perry. He also went after Michele Bachmann, Mit Romney, and Herman Cain.

Leave it to Fallon and Letterman to lampoon these guys and to say what so many of us would like to say - but just don’t have 2 million people listening to us.

Way to go guys – keep the heat on!

Video - Bieber to Take DNA Test and Sue His Accuser - Mariah Yeater’s First Interview - New Baby Pictures Surface

2011-11-07T16:04:00.000-05:00

Mariah Yeater and Tristyn Anthony Markhouse Bieber

Aww, look at that face, look at that mouth, and look at that little splitting image of Justin Bieber.

The “Baby” hit maker has taken to the streets to denounce his accuser Mariah Yeater and to tell the world he is NOT the father of an alleged love child.

Last week, Yeater went public with allegations that her and Bieber shacked up in a private bathroom after a concert at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

The resulting 30 second “encounter” supposedly created a pregnant Yeater who later gave birth to a baby boy.

Mariah Yeater and Tristyn Anthony MarkhouseYeater

It has also created on of the biggest celebrity paternity scandals in recent history.

Bieber took to NBC’s “Today” show last week to try and set the record straight.

Related: Justin Bieber goes public to denounce baby scandal problems – Video

Now Bieber’s management and legal team are saying that the singer WILL take a DNA test when he returns to the United States next week after appearing at the European MTV Music Awards.

Law enforcement is also involved and says they are looking into claims of statutory rape and/or fraud as it seems Yeater first tried to claim the baby was her ex-boyfriends.

Yeater took to the air also with TheInsider.com to talk publicly for the FIRST time about the incident.

Watch Mariah Yeater’s First Public Interview Video

Regardless, a L.A. judge has set an early December court hearing to address the issue and Bieber has reportedly been summoned to take part in a paternity test at a Los Angeles Superior Court.

Yeater says all you have to do is look at the baby’s mouth and face and it’s clear the baby is from Justin saying,

“Look, just look at his mouth. Look familiar? I pray that Justin sees theses photos, looks at Tristyn and knows in his heart that this is his child and out child. It's going to be a nightmare for all of us if he keeps denying it. I just want what is right for our son I feel terribly hurt that we have been abandoned and none of my calls to Justin were returned.”

Okay, we DO a resemblance in the mouth but a DNA test should be a no brainer and set the record straight once and for all.

TMZ is reporting that after the DNA paternity test that Bieber will sue Yeater to set an example and show that there are consequences when somebody tries to extort a celebrity though defamatory and malicious accusations against a celebrity.

At first InfoStar felt this was just a nut case looking to get over on a celebrity, but after seeing that baby’s face we’re not so sure.

If this was all a grab for money by Yeater then Bieber would have taken a test long ago, under the radar, and the public would never have known about it.

But since a judge is now compelling Bieber to take the test perhaps Mr. Baby Maker has been procrastinating a bit?

Yeater is only asking for about $1,000 per month for child support. Over 18 years that only amounts to a little over $200,000 – just what JB makes PER concert while on the road.

Regardless of how this turn out we suspect it will be a newsmaker for weeks to come.

Video - Justin Bieber Baby Drama Grows – Police Now Involved and Jimmy Fallon Spoofs…

2011-11-04T11:30:00.000-04:00

Houston – we have a problem.

Just twenty four hours into the Mariah Yeater and Justin Bieber baby drama the story is not going away.

Los Angeles police have now said that they are looking into the fact that Bieber’s accuser, now 20-year-old Mariah Yeater, may have engaged in statutory rape with the then 16-year-old singer.

Yeater says she hooked up with JB in a private bathroom last year and had sex at the Staples Center after one of his concerts.

She claims in court documents that Bieber whisked her into a private bathroom and the two engaged in consensual sex that left her pregnant with now three month old Tristyn Anthony Markhouse Yeater.

California says it is a crime for an adult to have sex with anyone under eighteen years old. If the offender is no more than three years older than the victim it would result in a conviction of a misdemeanor charge punishable by up to a year in jail.

Mariah Yeater

Yeater has filed a paternity suit in California demanding Bieber take a blood and DNA test, and a court date of December 15th has been scheduled to hash out the details of what happens next.

Yeater is suing for $12,000 per month to cover child support for their son. She also told police,

“The intercourse only lasted about 30 seconds and Justin did not want to wear a condom. He apologized for his lack of stamina afterwards and then I was whisked away and I never saw him again. I tried to contact him through normal channels but nobody ever got back to me so I felt I had to go public.”

A rep for Justin’s legal team told the press,

“These accusations are malicious, defamatory and demonstrably false. We will vigorously pursue all available legal remedies to defend and protect Justin against these allegations.”

But there are some people out there that believe this is all a big hoax, a joke, a ruse, a con job, a Bieber baby scam.

They say the story was devised long ago as a way to keep Bieber’s name in the news during his Christmas album release and help bolster his masculinity in a growing crowd of fans that are starting to believe the whole Selena Gomez girlfriend thing is a big fraud and Bieber is, well… less than manly.

The Bieb’s DID appear on the “Today” show Friday morning to try and crush the rumors by saying,

"I'd just like to say basically that none of those allegations are, like, true. I know that I'm going to be a target, but I'm, like, never going to be a victim. It's, like, crazy, every night after the show I've gone right from the stage right to my car, so it's, like, crazy that some people want to make up such false allegations. To set the record straight, none of it is true."

Bieber told Matt Lauer, “I don’t know that women and I have never met her.”

But that didn’t keep the late night comedy world from taking a stab at the humorous aspect of the story.

In fact, Jimmy Fallon did a parody of the singers hit song “Baby” to explain to his fans what had happened.

We love it when Jimmy does a musical parody and this one will become a classic.

Funny stuff.

We have all seen how Justin and Selena Gomez act around each other – particularly their weekend romp in Hawaii earlier this year where photos emerged of Bieber grabbing Selena’s butt and the two sucking face in every photo.

We know JB likes to hump his women – so what if the baby story is true?

We’ll cross that bridge after the court date in December and after more of the facts are released.

Video - Justin Bieber Sued In Paternity Lawsuit – Baby Photo Leaked

2011-11-02T13:00:00.000-04:00

Meet Tristyn Anthony Markhouse Yeater - born July 6 2011.

That’s him in the picture with his mother, 20-year-old Mariah Yeater on the cover of this month’s Star Magazine.

But can that really be a photo of Justin Bieber's illegitimate son?

Mariah is claiming the baby was fathered by Justin and she has filed a paternity lawsuit against the 17-year-old “Baby” maker.

Court papers were received on October 31.

Yeater says she hooked up with the singer after a concert at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. She became pregnant and is sure the baby belongs to Bieber.

One of Bieber’s representatives told TMZ,

"While we haven't yet seen the lawsuit, it's sad that someone would fabricate malicious, defamatory, and demonstrably false claims. We will vigorously pursue all available legal remedies to defend and protect Justin against these allegations."

Star Magazine broke the story saying the women wants Bieber to take a paternity and blood test to prove that he is the father of their child and wants the singer to “provide adequate support for my baby.”

video platform video management video solutions video player

The magazine says the women told them where they first met, and that Justin told her it was his “first time”.

Yeater told a Los Angeles Judge that,

"When I later realized I was pregnant with Justin Bieber's baby, I tried to contact him through his representatives but no one ever called me back. On July 6, 2011, I gave birth to a baby boy. That was exactly 36 weeks and two days after the sexual encounter with Justin Bieber. Based upon the timing as well as the fact there were no other possible men that I had sex with that could be the father of this baby, I believe that Justin Bieber is in fact the father of my baby."

We suspect a paternity law suit will never be allowed to make it to a judge, and this is just some crazy fan trying to cash in on the Bieb’s baby making ability.

If the allegations are true then Yeater just admitted to statutory rape and having sex with an underage person, and we don’t think anybody would be dumb enough to admit to that just to try and make a few bucks off a celebrity.

One blood test and this issue will be over.

Besides, if this was true then Selena Gomez would have taken care of the problem a long time ago.

Case closed.

Justin Bieber is making the TV rounds doing promotion for his new Christmas Album “Under the Mistletoe”, and last night he visited with Jay Leno on the Tonight Show.

Bieber talked with Jay about his charity work tied to his new album, and how he helped the Stratford food bank that he and his mother used to visit when Justin was younger.

And you know Jay Leno has a soft spot for cars so they had to talk about Justin’s new Cadillac Batmobile and the problems Bieber had with getting his drivers license.

JB also admitted he has already got one speeding ticket for speeding through a construction zone.

Leno also asked Justin about renting out the Staples Center for a romantic dinner and movie night with his girlfriend Selena Gomez.

Funny stuff, and who would have thought that Leno had never tried sushi?

Bieber’s “Under the Mistletoe” is now available and will probably set a world record for holiday units sold.

His next album “Believe” is expected to be released during the first quarter of 2012.

Video - Justin Bieber Talks About New Year’s Eve, Haters, and Being Called Gay

2011-11-01T06:00:00.000-04:00

Justin Bieber’s did a press junket in Los Angeles last week where he talked to a number of news outlets about his new Christmas Album and his plans for New Year’s Eve.

The Bieb’s was sporting two diamond earrings and his new spiked hair cut that makes him look, well, even less masculine then his last one.

Bieber was asked by “Hot Hits Live from LA” host Andrew Gunsberg about his haters and what it’s like to see so many hateful comments on his YouTube channel calling him gay.

Bieber says,

“It’s like a lot of people that are sitting in their basement that have nothing else better to do and they say things like, he’s gay, and call me, like names. First of all, that doesn’t make any sense because I’m out with a girl and, like, they can see me with girls all the time. It’s like a terrible world to use and their just, like, being mean.”

It seems like this kids life is starting to get complicated.

Justin doesn’t seem to have the same spark in his step that he used to, and his sense of humor has all but vanished.

Is it just us or does Bieber look like he’s not having fun anymore? He used the words “like” and “you know” almost 75 times.

Stay in school kids – at least until you can learn to speak.

Ah the price of fame!

Kim Kardashian's Divorces Kris Humphries After 73 Days! Way to Go Hollywood.

2011-10-31T19:54:00.001-04:00

Sometimes in Hollywood the hypocritical stories almost seem to write themselves.

Today Kim Kardashian announced she was seeking a divorce from husband Kris Humphries.

The couple was married only 73 days – not even three months.

Now, it’s not like we didn’t see it coming, but three months of marriage doesn’t even seem like trying.

After all, Kardashian licensed the photos, videos, exclusive stories, and web and TV material to E! for millions of dollars.

InfoStar even sent them a silver salad fork as a gift.

They could have made it last at least six months – just to make it look legitimate.

Ironically the very network, E!, that paid to exclusively cover the wedding is now running headlines for exclusive stories about their “tragic” divorce.

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries

See the irony? We’re such suckers.

Kim announced the divorce by tweeting,

“Yes @kimkardashian is filing for divorce this morning. I touched base with her, getting a statement in just a few mins.”

Kim later released a statement to the media saying,

“After careful consideration, I have decided to end my marriage. I hope everyone understands this was not an easy decision. I had hoped this marriage was forever, but sometimes things don’t work out as planned. We remain friends and wish each other the best.”

Boo hoo….

Kris says he was blindsided, and Kim took a day long massage and bath day after breaking the news to reporters.

So Hollywood.

Now the money machine can crank back up at E! to ensure we have 24 hour coverage of all the grizzly details of the divorce for the next two months.

Hmm, it almost seems like they did it just for the attention and the money.

I wonder if we’ll get our fork back.

But last week Bieber sat down with Billy Bush and Access Hollywood to talk about his new album, life as a teen idol, and the downside to fame.

He also gave more details on Baylor - the new dog Selena adopted at an animal shelter, and the most romantic thing he has ever done for a girl.

The second part of the interview included Justin’s best friend from Stratford Ontario – Ryan Butler.

Ryan and Justin have been best friends since they were 5-years-old, and Ryan talks about what it’s like to have Bieber as a wing man and being part of the “Inner Circle.”

“Under the Mistletoe” is available November 1st and includes collaborations with Chris Brown, Usher, Boyz II Men and Busta Rhymes.

Bieber and his crew were eventually let off with just a warning.

Reports say that Bieber and company were on their way to the Hockey game Tuesday night when it all went down.

No harm, no foul. Everybody was cautioned about L.A. driving protocol (don’t cut off cops) and sent on their way.

But this is not the first time Justin Bieber and Sean Kingston have been pulled over by the police.

Aerosmith Singer Steven Tyler Looses Teeth After Shower Fall in Paraguay

Steven Tyler of Aerosmith

Aerosmith front man Steven Tyler had a bad day yesterday.

While touring in Paraguay with his band Aerosmith, Tyler slipped and fell in his hotel shower - knocking out his two front teeth and causing other cuts and bruises.

Tyler spent several hours in La Costa medical center in Paraguay's capital receiving emergency dental surgery and stitches.

Tuesdays show was cancelled and rescheduled for Wednesday.

A concert organizer said,

"Mr. Tyler had a small accident that prevents him from staging the concert tonight. He is fine, he's in his hotel but he's not able to do the concert."

Tyler, also a judge on American Idol, took a fall a few years back during a concert and broke his shoulder. Steven later admitted that prescription drugs were to blame and entered rehab.

Last year, the 63-year-old singer wrote a book talking about his life in the spotlight and his use of drugs and alcohol.

At one point he says he spent over $20 million on cocaine alone.

Mahone in a Chicago Hotel

It seems that becoming famous can be a hard job at times.

Fifteen-year-old singer Austin Mahone visited Chicago today to have a simple meet-and-greet with his fans when he was over-run by Mahomies.

Austin, who had been sending Keek’s all morning keeping his fans updated on his trip to Chicago, at first told his Mahomies NOT to meet him at Navy Pier because there were too many people expected.

After moving the event to “The Bean” sculpture in Millennium Park, thousands of Austin fans rushed to the area causing quite an influx of excited and hyperventilated young girls.

Police quickly whisked Austin and his mother away to a secure building next to the park until they could figure out what to do.

The meetup was eventually cancelled out of concern for the safety of Austin, his Mother, and his fans.

Police told the singer that if he plans to use the park in the future he needs his own security team and must notify the city several weeks in advance so they can plan for crowd control.

Mahone took to twitter to tell his fans that the event had been cancelled.

“Mahomies, it’s really hard for me to say this but i can’t do a meetup on this trip - the police won’t let me do it, I’m so sorry... Dont worry I’m okay and you didn’t do anything wrong!!”

Where was Kenny Hamilton when we really needed him?

2011-10-21T09:03:00.000-04:00

Remember last May when preacher Harold Camping declared the end of the World would occur on May 21, 2011?

Well, that day has come and gone and now the 90-year-old evangelist says his original calculations were off by a few months and the real date is October 21, 2011.

That’s TODAY! The Rapture is today!

And a funny thing happened this morning…….

San Francisco California starting getting hit with several small, but growing earthquakes on the 22nd anniversary of the devastating Loma Prieta quake that hit in 1989.

The Bible says the end of the world will end with a huge earthquake.

And in Southwest Florida the red tide has caused several large fish kills that are now attracting flies and migrating locusts.

We suspect by mid-day the locusts will start moving west while aggressively multiplying.

We all know what the bible says about locusts? Right?

So, okay – we see the handwriting on the wall.

Harold Camping's Rapture

In light of these, and future events, InfoStar has decided to CLOSE OUR OFFICES for the day and will reopen on Monday morning assuming we are still here.

We just don’t want our employees to have to fight the traffic, lines at the bank and gas stations, etc., just because everybody else waited until the last minute to deal with their impending judgment.

PLEASE – if you have any food items in the refrigerator take it with you when you leave for the weekend and don’t leave any food in your offices overnight.

We all remember what happened when nerd Terry left that egg salad sandwich behind the filing cabinet.

We just think it is best if we close our doors for the weekend just in case something does happen. We really aren’t equipped to handle something like Armageddon during normal business hours.

And if this is the Rapture, then Satan's going to be really pissed and there's no telling what he will do over the weekend.

Besides, we don’t have a wheelchair ramp at our office so it would be hard to get Bob out into the parking lot in a hurry if anything does go bad.

He was killed by TNC fighters after a brief struggle.

United States news outlets while not confirming, are reporting his death.

There has been no word yet from President Obama, Congress, The Pentagon, or any National Security agency, but comments are expected soon.

Video - Shia LaBeouf Beat Down In Vancouver Caught on Tape

2011-10-18T13:13:00.000-04:00

It seems that young Shia LaBeouf has once again found himself on the wrong end of somebody else’s fist.

TMZ broke the story and says Shia was inside a Vancouver bar called the “Cinema Public House” when he got into a fight with another patron.

The bouncers threw them outside where another fight broke out and Shia got the living daylights knocked out of him.

At one point his friends pulled him away and were trying to calm him down but Shia was having no part of it.

LaBeouf is currently staying in Vancouver while he films his latest movie project “The Company You Keep”.

The film is a thriller centered on a former Weather Underground activist who goes on the run from a journalist who has discovered his identity.

It stars LaBeouf, Anna Kendrick, Nick Nolte, Robert Redford, Susan Sarandon, Sam Elliott, and Stanley Tucci.

It will most likely be released sometime in 2012 if Shia doesn’t get thrown in jail, break a bone, or end up in the hospital again.

LaBeouf has also just wrapped principle work on “The Wettest County in the World”, a crime-drama centered on a family of Depression-era bootleggers in the American South and starring LaBeouf, Tom Hardy, Mia Wasikowska, and Gary Oldman.

Keep it together Shia – remember where you came from.

Video - Mountain Biker Gets Attacked by Antelope and Knocked Off Bike - #BUCKNORRIS

2011-10-17T09:54:00.000-04:00

Boy, some people just seem to have bad luck…

A mountain biker racing at Albert Falls Dam was knocked off his bike when a huge antelope chased after him, lunged in the air, and smashed him to the ground while the biker behind him got it all on film.

The rider, Evan van der Spuy, broke his helmet, suffered a concussion, and was knocked unconscious for almost twenty minutes.

After the attack the antelope ran into the brush and was never seen again.

The video has not only gone viral on YouTube with over 10 million views, but Matt Lauer interviewed Evan on the “Today” show Monday morning.

Within hours the incident was trending on Twitter as #BUCKNORRIS - in reference to the inhuman, unstoppable, and awesome endurance and force of the legendary Chuck Norris.

Evan was riding for Team Jeep South Africa in the Time Freight Express MTB Race at Albert Falls Dam.

Photo – Big Ben Leaning Badly, Is it Ready to Fall Over?

2011-10-15T07:35:00.000-04:00

What time is it?

Big Ben, Westminster’s iconic landmark clock and London tourist attraction is in danger of falling over!

Authorities and engineers have noted that Big Ben is leaning more and more each year and is now almost two feet off level center – and the tilt is getting worse each year.

Now, for the first time, the tilt and slight lean can be seen by the naked eye.

The Lean in Big Ben is noticeable with the naked eye

Engineers think that decades of underground construction have allowed the big clock to sink into the soft ground that runs along the river Thames.

While the 315 foot Big Ben is indeed starting to tilt, officials say it would take over 2,000 years before it got as bad as the leaning tower of Pisa – which is over 12 feet off center.

A university professor commented,

‘I’ve heard tourists saying “I don’t think it is quite vertical” and they are right. If it started greater acceleration we would have to look at doing something, but I don’t think we need to do anything for a few years yet.’

However, many Londoners have been quietly chuckling over one report that said,

"If Big Ben were to fall it would crash into the MPs' offices over the road in Portcullis House."

It seems there are lots of people who don’t think would be such a bad thing.

Video - Justin Bieber Streams Entire Sao Paulo Brazil Concert to TV GLOBO

2011-10-14T09:21:00.000-04:00

Okay, so you didn’t have the chance to buy a roundtrip plane ticket to Sao Paulo Brazil last week to catch the Justin Bieber concert.

No problem – the 50,000 seat stadium sold out instantly and you probably couldn’t have bought a ticket if you wanted to.

But for those that have never seen a Justin Bieber concert live before, the full concert video below will give you a good idea of what you’re missing.

The concert was recorded October 12th, 2011 in Sao Paulo Brazil as part of “Children’s Day” on TV GLOBO.

One thing we noticed was his opening song “Love Me”.

Now, either the TV station’s transmission was screwed up or JB was lip syncing to a backing track on the first song because the pitch was way too high.

Overall, this kid really knows how to put on a show.

He sings, dances, plays guitar, plays piano and drums, and can get an arena of 50,000 fans screaming, crying, and singing every word to his songs.

Kind of makes me feel a bit lazy…..

Photo - Miranda Kerr and Her $2.5 Million Bra

2011-10-13T15:08:00.001-04:00

You know you have really hit it big in Hollywood when Victoria’s Secret asks you to model one of their sexy new fantasy bras.

And supermodel Miranda Kerr has certainly hit it big with Victoria’s Secret!

Kerr, who has hosted a television show for the sexy lingerie catalog since 2009, was asked to model one of the fancy underwear maker’s very very expensive new fantasy bras.

How expensive? Try $2.5 Million worth of bra! That’s $1.25 million per boob!

What makes this bra so special is NOT the model it's attached to, but rather the 3,400 precious gems, 142 carats of white and yellow diamonds, pearls, faceted citrines and aquamarines used to make this lady lump holder.

All these wonderful jewels are set in 18-karat white and yellow gold. The centerpiece features two eight carat white diamonds, and two 14-carat yellow diamonds.

Carr told StyleWatch,

“It’s such an honor to wear the bra, and it’s such a piece of artwork! It’s absolutely stunning — it kind of feels a little mermaid-like — but I can’t believe I’m wearing $2.5 million on my chest.”

So, for all you people out there who haven’t found a job yet, are still trying to sell your house, or have kids to put through school - it’s good to know that you have a good idea for your wife (or girlfriends) birthday this year!

Come on, what’s it going to take to put her in that bra today?

Video - Idol Winner Scotty McCreery Talks to the Wall Street Journal

2011-10-13T09:00:00.000-04:00

17-year-old Season 10 American Idol winner Scotty McCreery has given one of his best interviews to date when he sat down with the Wall Street Journal.

Scotty talks about his new album “Clear as Day” and his thoughts on not being just another country singer.

Scotty says,

“It’s got a good mixture of songs. I remember sitting down with my producer and saying I don’t want this to be one of those poppy country albums. I want it to be current and up to date.”

Most of the songs on Scotty’s album are original songs and several have a gospel influence.

McCreery also announced that after his summer tour and record deal with Mercury that he has decided to return to his home town of Garner and rejoin his friends in high school to finish out his education.

Even though he had security tag along with him to school Scotty says things slowly returned to normal.

McCreery’s album “Clear as Day” is available now at Amazon.com and on iTunes.

Even though Scotty has decided to return school you can still stay up to date with his career at his official web site at Scottymccreery-official.com

Sales reports indicate that “Clear as Day” has already sold over 200,000 copies which make Scotty the first Idol winner to achieve these sales levels since Ruben Studdard in 2003, and it puts him just ahead of Adam Lambert’s debut album first week sales.

Wow, what a cool guy.

Scotty seems to be very level headed and has set his expectations accordingly.

We wish him nothing but the best!

Justin on the set of "Mistletoe"

Pop singer Justin Bieber just gave his fans an early Christmas present.

Bieber has released a short video of behind the scenes footage called “Making of the video: Mistletoe” showing him hard at work putting his magic touch on film.

This was the same video shoot in Nashville a few weeks back where Bieber came out to say hello, and try to quite the crowd of fans that had gathered outside the sound stage.

Justin’s Christmas Album is just days from release and is expected to be certified as Gold by the end of the year.

For now, Bieber is in South America heading to Peru on the continuation of his “My World” tour IF he doesn’t get killed there!

Video - Austin Mahone Might Have Just Hit the Big Time with His “How to Love” Cover by Lil Wayne

2011-10-09T22:45:00.000-04:00

Austin Mahone

Okay, we’ve been watching Austin Mahone for the last year - watching him slowly improve his covers and voice quality over time.

While we we’re impressed in the early days, he seemed a bit timid and a bit unwilling to totally let himself get lost in a song. He seemed a bit shy.

But a couple of months ago, Mahone started using either reverb, compression, or a delay with his video recordings and it stepped up his game by a mile.

A big fat Texas style mile…

There was a HUGE improvement over his earlier videos.

And tonight, Austin Mahone just released his latest cover which is “How to Love” by Lil Wayne – a song that’s been covered by a lot of singers including Justin Bieber.

And we got to say that Austin’s version just blew us away. In fact, we think that his version of “How to Love” may very well be the video that finally gets him noticed.

For those of you who aren’t musicians, “How to Love” is a very hard and somewhat technical song to play and sing.

It is NOT for the timid and shy – and he NAILED it.

Austin Mahone has grown up. He has improved. He now seems able to quickly learn any song he wants, and compile a very professional sounding video with just the right amount of effects to make it sound great.

That may not sound impressive until you realize he is NOT in a $10 million dollar digital studio with sound technicians and guru mixers.

He does it in his bedroom!

You have to listen to it to see what we mean….

As much as we hate to admit it, we like Austin’s version better than Lil Wayne’s.

Now, that brings us to Justin Bieber…

Justin also covered the song and it WAS in a $10 million dollar studio. While Justin’s version was powerful, we think Mahone’s was almost as good but in a more pleasurable, romantic, and “pure acoustic” way – without all the HIV drama and hip/hop rap that’s in Lil Wayne’s music video.

Anyway, we think that this cover is the one that some producer for Ellen, L.A. Reid, or some other Indy label or A/R person is going to hear – AND THEY’RE GOING TO TAKE NOTICE AND COME KNOCKING.

Did you hear that Austin?

You better sit down and take a deep breath because it may be awhile before you have a chance to rest those tired feet once they find you.

Get ready – we think you just recorded the video that’s going to make you famous.

We hope we’re right. We first wrote about Austin in in July when we we’re blown away by the fan following he had accumulated via social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and his Blog.

Related: Meet Austin Mahone – Social Media Genius or the Next Justin Bieber? – Video

Mahone seems to be hitting on all the right cylinders, and doing everything right in the social media world. He has a great voice and the ability to pick up various music styles quickly.

We’re afraid the only thing left to happen now is for his fans to help get him noticed by an important person or music label so he can get famous and start recording his own music.

Austin on the beach

Personally, we can’t wait.

And we know about 500,000 other people who will be beating down the doors of the record store to buy his first album.

Hear that L.A. Reid? Hear That Ellen? Hear that music industry people? Hear that A/R scouts?

We’re just saying – you better snap this kid up because he is going to leave you in the dust if you don’t get him a deal fast.

And Austin, when you hit it big - please don’t forget about us small, yet humble blogs that helped get your story out.

Congrats. You have come a long way.

Video - Michael Jackson’s Children Make Appearance at Tribute Concert in Wales

2011-10-09T15:27:00.000-04:00

Michael Jackson's Children

Yesterday was a historic day in Wales.

In an effort to keep Michael Jackson’s legacy alive and remove his Children from the current state side trial of Dr. Conrad Murray taking place back in the United States, a tribute concert was held yesterday in Cardiff Wales.

It was held at the Millennium Stadium and billed as “The Michael Forever Tribute”.

But because it was a Jackson family event it was, of course, surrounded by controversy.

One of the headline bands, “The Black Eyed Peas”, bowed out at the last minute leaving event organizers scrambling for a replacement act.

Others complained that the event should have been held in the United States so MJ's U.S. fans could have taken part in the celebration.

But at the end of the day it did what it was supposed to do – remember Michael Jackson.

Some of the acts that showed up to perform were NeYo, Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Alexandra Burke, Gladys Knight, The Jackson Brothers, Jennifer Hudson, Latoya Jackson, Leona Lewis, Smokey Robinson, and Beyonce who made an appearance via satellite.

Prince, Blanket, and Paris Jackson

The highlight of the evening was when Jackson’s three children Prince, Paris, and Blanket took to the stage for their first public appearance since their father’s death.

In fact, Blanket actually spoke to the sold out crowd of 50,000, and it was the first time most people had ever heard the young man’s voice.

The kids thanked everyone for coming and then introduced Beyonce.

The kids, whose real names are Prince Michael Joseph Jackson Jr., Prince Michael Jackson II (Blanket), and Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson were met with thunderous applause and cheers from the crowd.

Another high point was when Christina Aguilera got up to belt out “Smile”. Judging by the crowd’s reaction it was probably the best performance of the night.

As the concert went one, it marked week two of the death trial of Michael back in the United States.

Prosecutors are currently unveiling their case in chief against Dr. Conrad Murray who is accused of killing Jackson with a deadly dose of the drug Propofol.

Adele CANCELLED: Singer Cancels U.S. Tour Due to Vocal Chord Hemorrhage

2011-10-07T18:26:00.000-04:00

Adele Sick at Home

ADELE TOUR - CANCELLED

Bad news for Adele fans.

The singer has had to cancel her upcoming sold out U.S. concert tour due to a hemorrhage in her vocal chords.

This is yet another setback for the singer’s unfortunate and ongoing health conditions.

Adele was supposed to take the stage tonight (Friday October 7, 2011) in Atlantic City New Jersey.

She also had to cancel some of Her U.K. concerts last month because of a chest infection but later made up those dates.

Doctors say the stress of her constant performing has placed a stress on her voice and vocal chords and she is now being treated and subject to intense vocal rest.

If Adele does not adhere to the Doctors orders to rest her voice she stands to permanently damage her vocal chords and alter her voice.

The “Rolling in the Deep” singer took to her official web site to say,

“Singing is literally my life; it’s my hobby, my love, my freedom and now my job. I have absolutely no choice but to recuperate properly and fully, or I risk damaging my voice forever.

I will be back and I’m gonna smash the ball out the park once I’m touring again. I apologize from the bottom of my heart, sincerely I do.

I know it’s not only disappointing because of the show, but it’s the plane tickets, hotel bookings, birthdays, anniversaries and time wasted.

But please have faith in me that this is the only thing I can do to make sure I can always sing and always make music for you to the best of my ability.”

Adele has been battling voice and health problems for almost a year and originally postponed her U.S. tour in June due to laryngitis.

Her U.S. tour was scheduled to take her through Atlantic City, Durham North Carolina, Nashville Tennessee, Asheville North Carolina, Orlando and Miami Florida, Atlanta, Georgia, Spring Texas, Austin Texas.

All these shows have now ben cancelled.

The singer promised to keep her fans in the loop on everything that is happening with her and when she plans to start planning her return to the road.

But for now, the best thing is to rest her voice and let us continue to enjoy her already released music.

Get well soon Adele!

Video - Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez Duet in Brazil – Sings “Mistletoe” for Fist Time!

2011-10-07T07:39:00.000-04:00

Justin Bieber gave his fans in Brazil a rare treat last night at his My World concert in Rio de Janeiro Brazil.

His girlfriend Selena Gomez took the stage to sing a duet of “Who Says” with Justin, and the Biebs sang “Mistletoe” from his new Christmas album for the first time live!

Bieber had tweeted the night before that his Brazilian fans were some of the loudest fans he had ever heard at a concert, and based on the following video of the duet he was telling the truth.

Bieber hinted at a big surprise on twitter by saying,

“Round Two for RIO is TOMORROW!! I got a HUGE SURPRISE TOMORROW at the show here in RIO....a Special Guest. WHO IS COMING??”

When we can find a better video we will make it available and send out a tweet so make sure to follow us on twitter - @InfoStar

Gomez traveled to Rio earlier this week to meet up with the Biebs and spent a little quality time by renting the presidential suite at one of Rio’s swankiest hotels.

After the show Bieber took to twitter to say,

“RIO!!! CRAZY!! thanks to @selenagomez for helping me do something special for the crowd. a duet never hurt nobody. WHO SAYS”

Wednesday night Bieber wowed the crowd with his first ever live performance of his new song “Mistletoe” from his Christmas Album.

The only glitch on Justin’s tour so far has been the death threats against him if he travels into Peru and proceeds with his show.

Most have discounted the rumors as those of an angry and jealous fan but we hear extra security will be in place while performing in Peru.

Justin Bieber Death Threats – “Stay Out of Peru or Else!”

2011-10-03T21:25:00.000-04:00

Some days it just doesn’t pay to be a mega millionaire rock star.

Teen pop sensation Justin Bieber has barley left Mexico on his way to Brazil as part of his South American concert tour and he is already getting death threats about performing in Peru.

Bieber has been warned by a Facebook fan site (that we will not name here) that when he comes to Peru, someone will jump on stage and push him off into a frenzied front row crowd armed with eggs and glass bottles who will kill him.

Hmmm.

Usually when you plan to murder someone you don’t broadcast to the World exactly how you are going to do it, or when or where, but hey – we’ve never been to Peru and are not familiar with their local murdering customs.

We don’t really see it as a possibility and suspect Bieber is taking this all in stride.

By Monday afternoon the fight had moved to twitter as well as Facebook, with twitter fans begging Bieber to stay safe.

Trending the hashtag "#BiebsStayOutOfPeru" one follower begged,

"We don't want you to get killed. You mean everything to us. Please, it's for your own safety!"

Bieber is not a newbie when it comes to these sorts of things either.

He has been the subject of many death threats, and death hoaxes over the years. Who can forget the screaming headline last year of “Justin Bieber is Dead”.

His girlfriend Selena Gomez and other past girlfriends have also been the target of death threats.

Yawn…..

The closet anybody has ever came to ruffing up the pop sensation was in Australia last year when a teenage boy climbed in through the arena roof and threw eggs at the singer while on stage.

Related: Bieber gets pelted with eggs in Australia – Video

Of course the teen was quickly arrested and now must suffer them shame of the World for being known as the kid who threw eggs at Justin Bieber.

Any fan of Justin Bieber knows who Ryan Good is.

Ryan, who was Bieber’s road manager and stylists was also credited as a friend, mentor, and all around team player.

Now we learn that Ryan has announced he is leaving Justin’s management team to pursue other interests.

Ryan was first hired by Manager Scooter Braun after Bieber was signed to Island records under L.A. Reid, and has served by Justin’s side for the last three years.

Good was featured in the 3D movie “Never Say Never” and is frequently seen at Justin’s side in YouTube videos.

Bieber’s manager Scooter Braun took to twitter to say,

“For all you who are asking… Ryan is going to pursue some of his dreams… We encourage him to go after his. He will always be a part of this family. Always!”

Justin’s close friend and bodyguard Kenny Hamilton tweeted,

“I’m gonna miss you man! Been so much fun and so many memories… @thatrygood I wish you well…”

Before working for Justin Bieber’s team, Ryan Good worked as an assistant to the singer Usher.

Good spent the early days with Justin on the road and refined his early look and was sometimes referred to as his “swagger couch”.

Ryan is well known for his now famous articulation of the phrase “Aw C'mon!”.

There is no word on what Ryan will be doing or who he will be working for but we suspect it is all good!

So last June, Justin Bieber visited Jimmy Fallon’s late night show and the two did a funny spoof of Bieber’s “Someday” fragrance commercial during the perfumes official launch week.

What we DIDN’T see were the bloopers and out takes that happened behind the scenes during the filming of the segment.

This is hilarious stuff - and shows what really happens when you get two funny people together for a comedy spoof.

The parody commercial harkens back to Fallon’s days on Saturday Night Live and Bieber is a natural for this kind of humor.

The first video below is the ORIGINAL segment that aired in June of 2011 on Fallon’s show.

This next video shows the bloopers and outtakes that went on behind the scenes that were never aired – until now.

We love seeing this kind of behind the scenes footage and it definitely has Fallon’s days at SNL written all over it.

Justin Bieber found his one less lonely girl last night in Monterrey Mexico – and there’s a GREAT story behind this one.

You see, last month when Bieber announced his South American Tour dates, the shows sold out in minutes – causing fans to hyperventilate and yell and scream in anguish.

Cameras at the Monterrey venue in Mexico caught one disappointed fan, Debhani Guzman Torres, in such distress that she fell to the ground crying.

You can see Debhani in the video below.

Well, Bieber took to twitter only 24 hours before hitting the stage in Monterrey asking his twitter followers to help him find Torres.

“I need everyone's help. We have LESS than 24 hours. We need to find this girl… she is at the 30 sec mark. HELP! Thanks.”

Within hours Bieber’s twitter followers had found Torres and given the information to JB’s tour manager who tracked her down, gave her free concert tickets, and made Torres the “One less lonely girl” at Friday night’s concert.

Aww…. What a sweat story.

After the show Bieber took to twitter to say,

“I just met a very special fan...thanks to the help of all of you. She said "things like this don’t happen to people like me"...Yes they do! #dreamBIG and NEVER SAY NEVER”

See, this is why Justin’s fans love him so much.

“I’m a big fan of Justin’s. We support each other a lot. He was talking to me yesterday about the songs he liked off my album. People say we’re in a competition, but it’s really like being friends and part of a family. It’s definitely not something that should be seen as a rivalry.”

Scooter Braun, who was born in New York, got his start by organizing parties while attending Emory University.

His events attracted celebrity performers like Ludacris and Britney Spears, and when he was 19-years-old created his own party-promotion company.

In 2002, Jermaine Dupri hired him as Director of Marketing of So So Def Records, and at age 20 was named Executive Marketing Director.

In addition to Justin Bieber, Braun also manages singer Asher Roth and has business connections to wake board guru and champion Paulie Koch.

Scooter currently owns and operates two music labels - Raymond-Braun Media Group (RBMG) which is co-owned with Usher, and Schoolboy Records.

Even though Simpson was just signed and is already getting asked about collaborations with Bieber.

Simpson has released one album and just completed a short U.S. tour with friend and fellow teen singer Greyson Chance who was also discovered on YouTube and signed by Ellen DeGeneres’ label “eleveneleven”.

Video - First Listen – Justin Bieber “Under the Mistletoe” Collaboration with The Band Perry

2011-09-30T08:23:00.001-04:00

Bieber "On Set"

Justin Bieber and his crew were in Franklin Tennessee earlier this week working on his Christmas Video and we got to hear the first sounds of one of the new songs!

Well, we actually got to hear a somewhat garbled version of the backing track used during the video shoot for “Under the Mistletoe” featuring The Band Perry.

Somebody on the crew was recording the shoot while the backing track was being played – maybe not realizing the implications of his actions if it got leaked to YouTube.

Bieber’s Christmas Album titled “Under the Mistletoe” is already being presold on Amazon and will be released on November 1st.

Bieber's friend and mentor Ryan Good showed off his personal interpretive Christmas dance skills while hundreds of fans cheered him on, and at one point the crowd grew so large that production had to be temporarily stopped while Bieber addressed the crowd during a break.

Bieber then led the crowd of fans in a medley of Christmas songs and danced with Santa before resuming production of the music video.

Now that filming is done Bieber and his team are headed to Mexico to kick of the South American segment of his popular My World Tour.

JB will hit up Mexico, Peru, Chile, Brazil, Argentina and Columbia before returning to the United States to officially kick off his Christmas Album release.

Before hitting the road, Justin did have time this week to spend with his family and took the time to snap a few Bieber family photos of his younger brother and sister for his supporters.

Merry Bieber Christmas!

Video - Hundreds of Fans Descend on Justin Bieber’s Christmas Video Shoot

2011-09-29T19:12:00.000-04:00

Just one day before hitting the road to resume his “My World Tour” in South America, Justin Bieber got quite a surprise.

It seems that Bieber and his team were at an undisclosed location shooting video for his upcoming Christmas Album and Video when fans discovered what was going on.

Within minutes, fans started to crowd around the area where the production was taking place and started cheering and screaming.

Production had to be halted for a short time so Bieber could address the crowd and try to bring order to the set.

So what did he do to calm everybody down?

He started singing Christmas songs and encouraged the crowd to sing along with him!

Justin took to his twitter account saying,

“Pretty wild yesterday. we didn't even say our location and thousands of people showed up. my fans go hard! #goodtimes”

Here is a video of how it went down...

After belting out a few Christmas songs the crowd was asked to stay quiet and move back from the immediate area and filming continued.

At one point Justin was seen dancing the “Dougie” with the actor playing Santa Clause.

Tomorrow Bieber and his team head to Mexico for the start of his South American Concert tour.

On the eve of leaving for Mexico to kick off the next leg of his My World South American Concert Tour, Justin Bieber took some time earlier this week to reunite with his divorced Father, Jeremy Bieber, his little sister Jazzy and brother Jaxon.

Jazzy, now three years old, lives with Justin’s Dad in Canada and doesn’t get a lot of opportunities to see her big brother. Jazzy has a younger brother named Jaxon who was born last year.

Video - Michael Jackson’s Dead Body Shown in Court Along With Slurred Speech Tape – Bombshells!

2011-09-28T08:21:00.000-04:00

Dr. Conrad Murry in Court

Wow.

Yesterday kicked of the Conrad Murray murder trial. Murray is accused of killing Michael Jackson with an overdose of the drug Propofol in 2009.

The proceedings yesterday included the opening statements by both the prosecution and defense teams and the battle lines have clearly been drawn.

The prosecution says Dr. Conrad Murray killed Jackson and the defense says Jackson killed himself by self-administering the Propofol on top of a terrible Demerol addiction.

There were a few bombshell moments during the proceedings yesterday such as the following photo of Michael Jackson lying dead on a hospital gurney at the morgue.

Michael Jackson Dead at the Hospital

That really set the stage for the day, but another piece of evidence was presented by the prosecution that actually seemed to play into the hands of the defense.

They played an audio tape of Jackson the first day Murray took over as his Doctor showing the singer slurring his speech in what is clearly some type of drug induced stupor.

Some felt Dr. Murray recorded Jackson to document the “current state” that he found Michael, and others felt there were more nefarious motives.

Regardless, this case is truly going to be the trial of the century.

If anything it is shedding fascinating insight on the process of producing a huge concert tour with a huge World famous artist who is deeply troubled and addicted to drugs.

Video - Justin Bieber Gets Into A Street Fight and Flashes his Purple Underwear!

2011-09-23T18:53:00.000-04:00

Bieber fighting in the street

Justin Bieber was hanging out in Los Angeles yesterday and really drew a lot of attention.

First, he was spotted hanging out at the new Hollywood Chick-fil-A on Sunset Boulevard where he hiked up his shirt and showed the paparazzi his purple underwear.

We’re not relay sure how he even keeps his woman’s pants up when they sag so low but purple underwear has kind of become his trademark.

And are those Spanks we see under his shirt?

Actually, the Biebs was getting fitted for a microphone pack by the guy standing behind him and you can see the mic wire running up his shirt.

Justin Bieber flashed his purple underwear in L.A.

Then Bieber got into a fight on the streets of L.A.!

Kind of…

Justin spent the rest of the day with his pal Ryan Goode filming a PSA (Public Service Announcement) about bullying and street fighting.

Part of the segment was filmed for everybody to see and that shot included Bieber acting like he was being bullied and getting into a fight.

One witness says the shot the scene almost 20 times before moving on to other business.

So rest easy fans – it was all for the camera!

News also slipped out yesterday that Bieber’s new Christmas album with Boyz II Men and Taylor Swift will be released on Halloween.

We can only imagine the millions that will fly off store shelves to be wrapped and put under the tree for Christmas day.

That’s why he’s famous.

And he knows what his fans want, and he knows how and when to give it to them.

Oh yea, next week Bieber heads out for his South American segment of his “My World Tour” and has just announced additional dates and cities.

He says he will work on it while on tour and put the finishing touches on it once he returns to the United Stated later this year.

Does this kid ever stop?

Video - Ronan Parke Covers “What Makes You Beautiful” by One Direction

2011-09-23T10:40:00.000-04:00

Looks like Sony Music finally threw in the towel and is letting videos of “Britain’s Got Talent” runner up Ronan Parke be seen in the United States.

Ronan, who came is second last year on the popular British singing competition show has been releasing videos in preparation of his upcoming new album.

His latest cover is by the white hot band “One Direction” - a British and Irish boy band consisting of Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson. They finished third during season 7 of The “X Factor”.

We are going to post the videos of both Ronan and “One Direction” so you can see how young Parke measures up in this music genre.

Now here is the “One Direction” version from their recently released music video for “What Makes You Beautiful”.

Hmm, we think Ronan might need a year or two to strengthen his vocals a little. But he’s still pretty good at what he does.

By the way, “One Direction” went on to sign a $2 million record deal with Simon Cowell’s production company after their appearance on X Factor.

Ronan also needs to come up with some original songs as so far everything he has done has been a cover of another artists hit single. People are going to want to hear original music if he is going to be successful in the music business.

But hey, at least Sony decided to finally let us see what Ronan is working on these days!

Video - Jonah Hill Calls Out “Glee’s” Matthew Morrison on Live Television – Too Cool!

2011-09-22T12:48:00.000-04:00

Funny man Jonah Hill stopped by to talk with NBC’s Jimmy Fallon last night and it turned out to be one of the best late night interviews we have ever seen.

We had no idea Jonah Hill could be this funny, and he certainly has dropped a few pounds.

In fact, that is an understatement – he has lost a LOT of weight and is looking good!

Related: Jonah Hill Weight Loss – Before/After – Photos

Jonah was there to plug his new movie with Brad Pitt called “Moneyball” and to talk about his new show he just sold to FOX called "Allen Gregory" - his new animated series that tells the story of one of the most pretentious 7-year-olds of our time.

Jonah told a hilarious story about meeting with the people from FOX during a party and running into Matthew Morrison from “Glee” for the first time.

It’s a great inside look at Hollywood parties, famous people meeting other famous people, and snobbery.

The interview is hilarious!

By the time that interview was over we didn’t really care about “Moneyball” and had turned into huge Jonah Hill fans for life!

And by the way, his new show Allen Gregory looks like it could be another hit for FOX. It is an animated show and will follow “The Simpsons” staring October 30, 2011.

Take a look at this trailer and you’ll see what we mean:

We got to give kudos to Jonah Hill – he really seems to be getting a lot funnier and more comfortable in his own skin. Gone are the days of that awkward fat actor who seemed to be only strangely funny at times.
