Bieb the World
- Building on the success of his unisex "My World" fragrance, Justin Bieber will soon launch aperfume for women, called "Someday." He's such a tease. (JSYK)
- Bieber and his GF Selena Gomez will be presenters at the 2011 Billboard Music Awards, which will be on Sunday if the world hasn't ended by then. (JSYK)
- Justin Bieber's world tour took him to Japan this week, where he took the time to meet with some kids who were affected by the tsunami. He actually wanted to perform in the tsunami area, but it's kind of radioactive at the moment. (JSYK)
- Justin Bieber has teamed up with PhoneGuard to boost his message against texting while driving. $1 from each concert ticket sold will go to PhoneGuard, makers of the Drive Safe app that disables texting and email when users are in a car driving more than 10mph. (JSYK)
Music
- Selena Gomez leaked the cover art for her upcoming album (dropping June 28), which will apparently no longer be called Otherside, and will now instead be called "When the Sun Goes Down." (JSYK)
- Joe Jonas is still a thing, and he's releasing a single called "See No More" on June 3rd. (JSYK)
- Katy Perry has a rider that forbids her tour chauffeurs from speaking to her or even looking at her. Because she's a singer of the people. (Cambio)
- Avril Lavigne released the video for her new single "Smile." Great. (Cambio)
- Ke$ha has asked her fans to give her their teeth so she can make a necklace with them. I repeat, Ke$ha has asked her fans to give her their TEETH so she can make a NECKLACE with them. WHEN WILL EVERYONE REALIZE SHE'S F#@KING CRAZY?? (Cambio)
Movies
- Entertainment Weekly published the first photos of Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss in The Hunger Games. I still really want to read those books. Anyone have a copy they could lend me? For serious. (JSYK)
- The Muppets movie poster was released this week. Get excited! But not too excited - the movie isn't coming out until late fall. (Cambio)
- Alex Pettyfer is now backtracking like crazy on the anti-Hollywood rant he went on in an interview with VMAN magazine. Apparently he actually does still want to have a career. And an American work permit. And possibly a social life. Who knew? (Cambio)
- Armie Hammer, better known as the Winkelvi from The Social Network, has been cast asThe Lone Ranger to Johnny Depp's Tonto in a new Lone Ranger movie. (Cambio)
- Sam Raimi will direct a Wizard of Oz prequel called "Oz: Great and Powerful", which will feature James Franco, Rachel Weisz, Mila Kunis, and Michelle Williams as Glinda the Good Witch. (Cambio)
- Chris Hemsworth will play the Huntsman in "Snow White & The Huntsman", oppositeKristen Stewart, Charlize Theron, and friend of the show Sam Claflin. (Cambio)
- The movie "Titanic" will be re-released in 3-D in 2012. And James Cameron will donate all profits to charity. That last part is the opposite of true. (NYTimes)
Trends
- Remember the Connecticut kid who took that prom sign thing to a whole new level and got banned from prom by school administrators for posting his prom proposal in giant cardboard letters on the side of the school? Well, thanks to a massive Facebook initiative, tons of Tweets, and an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the school backed down and is letting him go to prom (with the girl he was asking out. How could she say no?). They did make sure to say that he would still be punished, just in a different way. How terrifying. (JSYK)
- You know how Oprah has been at the top of Forbes' Celebrity Power 100 list for the past 4 years? Well not any more - this year it's Lady Gaga, possibly for being the first person to have10 million Twitter followers. This year's top 10 in order are Gaga, Oprah, Justin Bieber, U2, Elton John, Tiger Woods, Taylor Swift, Bon Jovi, Simon Cowell, and LeBron James. (Cambio)
- Hailee Steinfeld is the new face of Miu Miu, following in the footsteps of Katie Holmes, Kirsten Dunst, and Vanessa Paradis. (Cambio)
- Schools are increasingly turning to online teaching during what would otherwise be snow days. School districts save money and school years aren't pushed into mid-summer, but families without internet access (or without enough computers for each of their kids) can't participate. Still, in this increasingly Day After Tomorrow-esque world, online learning is probably a really good idea. (TweenTribune)
Doing Good
- When the Collins Academy in Chicago won the "Get MotivatED Challenge" (a national competition to improve attendance rates), their grand prize was to get Nicki Minaj as their principal for a day. And now they can all go back to skipping school and not hanging out with hip hop moguls. (JSYK)
- Miranda Cosgrove and the casts of iCarly and Victorious spent Sunday at a charity event for St. Jude's, and the St. Jude's kids tried to make the day about her, by giving her a giant birthday cake in honor of her 18th. It was very sweet, but Miranda didn't let it go to her head - she kept the day all about the St. Jude's kids. (JSYK)
- The newly-single Leonardo DiCaprio has raised over $200,000 for relief efforts in Haiti, and only $70k of that was his own money. (Cambio)
What?!
- A missing chihuahua has been reunited with its owners... FIVE YEARS after it disappeared! Microchips really do work, but only if someone finds the dog. No word on what Cookie was up to for five years, but something tells me Disney will have a movie out about it within a year. (TweenTribune)
- A man was not allowed to board a train in northern Wales this week when he attempted to board it with his pony. It wasn't even a miniature pony, it was just a pony pony, and for some reason he thought no one would have a problem with having a large, hoofed animal in a moving train car. Only in Wales. Or New Zealand. (TweenTribune)
