Bieber
- Young Master Bieber finally convinced his BFF Jaden Smith to join Twitter on Wednesday. Finally! As of 4:30 this afternoon, Jaden already has over 250,000 followers, but that ain't nothin - the Bieb has over 8 million and counting. (JSYK4TNZ)
- Miley spoofed Bieber on SNL last weekend. (JJJ)
- JB tweeted that he's going to grow a mustache by not shaving for 30 days. I have my doubts. (Teen)
- "Never Say Never" never quite hit #1 in the box office, but as of this week it's the #3 highest-grossing documentary on record, so that's something. (DisneyDreaming)
- Greyson Chance returned to the Ellen show this week, performing "Dancing Crazy" withMiranda Cosgrove. (JSYK)
- Rapper/actor/dancer Romeo got pulled over on Wednesday just so the cop could wish him good luck on Dancing With The Stars. It takes all kinds, I tell you what. (Cambio)

Movies

- Emma Watson is taking a semester or two off from Brown University to promote the final Harry Potter, film "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" and work with her environmentally-responsible fashion line. She does insist she will return to school, but few can resist the siren song of a Hollywood paycheck. (JSYK)
- The Tomb Raider franchise is rebooting, but Angelina Jolie has declined to reprise her role as Lara Croft. Unnamed sources that may or may not just be me were quoted as saying "Angie just didn't think this sounded like a good idea." (Cambio)
- And speaking of turning down roles, Rihanna said no to the remake of "The Bodyguard" and friend of the show Jason Derulo decided not to play Jimi Hendrix in an upcoming biopic. Since when have singers realized they're not actors?? (Cambio)
Music
- I know what you've been thinking - Willow Smith released her song "21st Century Girl" last week, so how much longer do we have to wait before there's an overly-cinematic music video for it that involves a shaman, a pack of wolves, and the building of civilization?? Well fret no more: that video has arrived. (JSYK)
- Greyson Chance and Cody Simpson are hitting the road together for the "Waiting 4 U" tour. The tour starts April 11th in Denver, and finished May 18th in Portland. (Cambio)

- Mumford & Sons are going to tour the States, and because they're kinda hipsters, they're touring by train. (Cambio)
Tech
- Oh, so another cool thing about the Nintendo 3DS other than the 3D screen that doesn't require glasses? It's also wifi-enabled and can stream movies from Netflix. No word yet whether you can also stream 3D movies in 3D. (JSYK)
- Like the latest Hollywood starlet, the thinner, faster, lighter, prettier iPad 2 launched on Tuesday. It is scheduled to develop a drinking problem by June, end up in court by July, and be replaced by a new sensation in August. (Cambio)

- Miley might have a new boyfriend - she was seen out with Jared Followill (of Kings of Leon fame). (JJJ)
- Kanye West was turned away from several high-profile fashion shows at Paris Fashion Week after he showed up uninvited. The official story is that he simply wasn't on the list, but I suspect they were worried he might jump up on the runway and say "Yo Versace, I'm really happy for you and imma let you finish, but Yves Saint Laurent's Fall '96 was one of the best runway show of all time! OF ALL TIME!" (Cambio)
- Justin Barta (of The Hangover fame) and Ashley Olson (of Mary Kate And fame) have broken up. Not sure if this affects anyone. (Cambio)

Doing Good
- After today's earthquake and tsunami in Japan, celebrities like Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, and others tweeted their support. Here's hoping they also texted REDCROSS to 90999. (JSYK)
- Wisconsin high school students planned a state-wide school walk-out for 2pm today in solidarity with the recently-silenced unions. They also encouraged students in other states to join. What high school student would pass that up? (JSYK)
- President Obama has joined the fight against bullying! He and Michelle have launched StopBullying.gov, and are working with both the Department of Education and the Department of Health & Human Services to work on preventing bullying in schools across the country. I wonder if it's encouraging or discouraging for kids to hear that even the President has to deal with bullies. (JSYK)
- Not sure if this counts as good, but Lady Gaga broke off her album deal with Target over their political donation practices. And here we thought she'd made the deal in the first place because they'd stopped donating to jerks. (Cambio)
WTF?
- An ice cream shop in London's Covent Garden area has thwarted Lady Gaga's legal attempts to stop production of its "Baby Gaga" ice cream... which is made with human breast milk. Not cow. Human. The owners of the shop are considering counter-suing for defamation, but honestly, how can you beat this kind of publicity? (Cambio)
