Audio - Justin Bieber Radio Interview – Talks Selena, Past Girlfriends, Charity, and Sports!

Our favorite pop sensation Justin Bieber spontaneously called in to talk to his friend Mike Missanelli on his radio show last Friday.

We have to say, it was one of the most informative interviews we’ve heard from Bieber in a while.

It lasted almost seven minutes and was not just the canned answers we have grown accustomed to from the Biebs.

He talked about how he met Selena Gomez, his old girlfriends, Hockey, and his participation in his charity “Pencils of Promise”.

One thing became clear after the interview – Justin Bieber loves sports!

He also admitted that Jasmine Villegas was his girlfriend when he first met Selena, but did not mention the death threats and stalking problems Villegas has had.

There was a lot of ground covered in this interview and it was nice to not hear Justin say uh, well you know, yea, it’s like, every 5 seconds.



Bieber is also busy promoting his charity involvement with “Pencils of Promise”, and just announced that the company that produces his fragrance “Someday” has joined forces for the cause.

The campaign is called “Hearts Across the Web” and involves taking a picture of yourself making the heart sign and uploading it to the site to complete the world’s biggest digital chain of human hearts.



If half a million fans respond then “Give Back Bands” will help build 50 schools. You can upload your photo and learn more at the Someday web site here.

Pencils of Promise” was founded by Adam Braun – the brother of JB’s manager Scooter Braun.

Video - Justin Bieber and Scooter Braun Interview at Fashion Night Talk Charity and Christmas Album

Justin Bieber and Scooter Braun hit up Dolce & Gabbana’s Fashion Night last week and gave one of the best interviews we’ve heard in a while.

Justin talked about Scooter’s beard, and how and when he decided to cut it off – and his failed attempt to auction the hair for charity.

Bieber talked about Braun’s “aging” fashion attire and said Scooter “had his day” when he was fly and had the swag down – and that JB has kind of given up on trying to give Scooter fashion advice.

The most important part of the interview was when they talked about the charity organized by Scooters brother called “Pencils of Promise” and the number of schools that have been built so far.



Justin and his team have supported Adam Braun and his charity since its inception and now have over 50 schools either already built, or being built in third world countries.

Bieber’s new Christmas album is due out this November and will contain mostly original songs written by Justin, and at least one original track written by Justin and Taylor Swift.

Proceeds from the Christmas album will go to “Pencils of Promise”.

Taylor Swift and Justin have become friends this summer, and the singer even pulled the ultimate prank on her a couple of weeks back as part of the new MTV “Punk’d” TV series that is being revived.

Bieber has also announced the dates and venues for his South American “My World” tour that will resume on September 30th and run through October.

And Scooter… you still look fly.
