Justin Bieber
- The Bieb got more ink! Last year for his 16th birthday he got a tattoo of a seagull (family tradition, apparently), and this year he got the word "Jesus" in Hebrew. Not sure, but I think he's sending mixed messages. (JSYK)
- JB has a commercial out for his new perfume "Someday," and according to the commercial, Justin Bieber is the new Beetlejuice - just spray the perfume three times and he appears. (JSYK)
- Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez and their families went on vacation in Maui this week, and Justin & Selena totally got caught kissing again by the paparazzi! OMG! (JJJ)
TV
- Scotty McCreery won American Idol, and went straight home to take a test in English class. If that doesn't say "rockstar lifestyle," I don't know what does. (JSYK)
- And Hines Ward won this season of Dancing With The Stars. Too bad - I had $50 on Gary Busey. (Cambio)
- Big Time Rush got picked up for a 3rd season. Good call, Nickelodeon. (Cambio)
Movies
- The first official poster for "Breaking Dawn" has been released, and it might as well just be a hand-written note tacked on a corkboard. (Cambio)
- The release date for the Julia Roberts "Snow White" movie got shifted earlier, so now that one's opening before the other one - "Snow White & The Huntsman". Oh, and there's aSnow White TV pilot, too. I like to think this sudden interest in Snow White is all thanks to the increased popularity of vampires in the past couple years. (Cambio)
- The first trailer for "The Muppets" came out this week, and it has absolutely nothing to do with the real plot of the movie. HOORAY MUPPETS!! (Cambio)
- Aaaaaand since "The Hunger Games" can apparently have an infinite cast, Lenny Kravitzwas added to the cast list this week. (Cambio)
- "Pirates 4", despite nearly universal bad reviews, broke international box office recordswhen it took in $364.4 million overseas in its opening weekend. Now I really want to see it in a different language. (Cambio)
- Abigail Breslin was paid $275,000 for one week's work on the movie "New Year's Eve," plus another $100,000 if the movie does well in the box office, plus $40,000 per day for any pickups. Yeah, well, who didn't earn that as a 15 year old? (Teen.com)
Music
- Ever wondered how to crash a website as big as Amazon? Well, the answer is: sell Lady Gaga's album Born This Way for 99 cents. What's up, iTunes? What you got?? You got NOTHIN! (Cambio)
- On the off-chance you care, the new We the Kings music video is out, for their song "Friday is Forever." (JSYK)
- Taylor Swift's Speak Now tour includes elements that were inspired by Cirque du Soleil, including aerialists, dancers and glow sticks, along with the usual pyrotechnics and lighting stuff. (JSYK)
- Joe Jonas released a teaser video for his aptly-named single "See No More". (Cambio)
- Oh right the Billboard Music Awards were Sunday! Eminem and Justin Bieber won the most awards of the night with 6 each, and Taylor Swift nabbed 3 awards. Anyone else think the Billboard Award categories are ridiculously narrow? (JSYK)
- When "Hairspray" hits the Hollywood Bowl in early August, the cast will include alumni Harvey Fierstein and Marissa Jaret Winkour, and newbies Nick Jonas, John Stamos, Drew Carey, Diana DeGarmo, Mo Gaffney, Darlene Love, Tara Macri, and Corbin Bleu. Someone please remind me not to try to drive anywhere near the Bowl that week. (Cambio)
- Just like the killer bees, Miley Cyrus's "Gypsy Heart" tour is slowly making its way up through South & Central America, and has reached Mexico. Hey Texas, run for cover!!! (JJJ)
Trending Topics
- A high school in Arizona is charging its seniors $25 to participate in their own graduation ceremony. As can be expected, the kids are a bit miffed. But back in my day, I swear we had to pay a $70 gown rental fee, so they should just shut the front door. (JSYK)
- And a senior prank at a Colorado high school shut the entire school down for 4 days. Seniors put 30 bales of hay in the school's common areas, which doesn't seem like it could possibly warrant a cleanup bill of $100,000 (which it did) until you think about how that crap gets EVERYWHERE, plus it releases an amazing amount of mold and other allergens into the air, which can cause some intense respiratory problems. A few days and a lot of money later, though, everything's back to normal there. (JSYK)
- Kim Kardashian got engaged to Kris Humphries this week. Still no word on the Freudian implications of marrying a man who has the exact same first name as your MOTHER. (Cambio)
- The Backstreet Boys went vegetarian for their current tour. Just for the record: consumption of meat does not affect vocal performance. Regardless, PETA has applauded the 'boys decision. (Cambio)

- As reported last week, Taylor Swift opened up one of her soundchecks to fans, charging $50 per ticket, and in doing so raised $750,000 toward tornado relief. After Joplin, though, she may want to do that a couple more times. (Cambio)
