Justin Bieber Goes Blonde and Curly After Losing Bet

Justin Bieber might have shocked his fans when trimming his famous bang, but he has not undergone a big transformation until when he visits German TV show "Wetten Dass". The 17-year-old singer had to sport blonde curly locks after losing a bet during the taping of the show in Augsburg on Saturday night, March 19.

A contestant named Florian bet that he could recognize any city with over 500,000 people just by watching an illuminated photo taken by a satellite. Justin had to tell whether what Florian said is true or not, and he said no. He lost the bet because Florian could recognize all cities, and he had to wear the frumpy wig.

Donning a black leather shirt topped with a red vest, Justin was a little bit resistant when the variety show's host Thomas Gottschalk tried to put on the wig that looked very much like Thomas' own hair. The Canadian native finally obliged and was pictured placing the light locks atop his recently shortened coif.

Justin also performed for the audience and had a Q&A session during when he was asked if he knew why someone would pay thousands of dollars for his hair. The "Baby" hitmaker claimed he could not explain the motivation, but he's glad because the money is donated for a good cause.

Justin Bieber passes Michael Jackson at box office

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - The Biebs hasn't disappointed on the big screen.
Paramount's "Justin Bieber: Never Say Never" has now surpassed Michael Jackson This Is It to become the most successful concert-themed movie at the domestic box office.
Through Sunday, Justin Bieber had earned $72.2 million at the domestic box office. Sony's "This Is It" grossed $72.1 million domestically.
However, This Is It still holds the worldwide record, having grossed $189.1 million overseas for a global total of $261.2 million. Usually, concert films don't travel well.
"Never Say Never" has grossed $10.8 million at the international box office, a solid number, considering that the Jonas Brothers' concert film grossed only $4 million internationally, while "Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour" earned $5 million. "Hannah Montana" grossed $65 million domestically.
Paramount insiders believe Justin Bieber could ultimately earn $20 million internationally. So far, the movie has done best in Latin America, where star's fan base is strongest.
Justin Bieber was produced by Paramount's low-budget division Insurge Pictures. The studio has shied way from calling the film a concert movie, since it delves into Bieber's childhood and rise to pop icon status.
Paramount also took the unprecedented step of updating the movie with new footage early in its theatrical release, so as to encourage repeat business. The move worked.

Justin Bieber; Katy Perry – review

It's been a strange week for pop music. The deeply unconvincing Ke$ha was reduced to drinking fake blood from a heart onstage in Australia in a bid for some edge. A 13-year-old girl called Rebecca Black became an ironic internet meme when "Friday", her cheesy pop video made courtesy of a bespoke service called Ark Music Factory, went viral and clocked up 10m YouTube hits.
Meanwhile, Justin Bieber – the most followed pop pup de nos jours – wasn't really the star of his own show. As the teen idol kicked off the first of three nights at London's O2 Arena, the eye of at least one over-12 kept wandering to the majestic sight of umpteen coloured devices – glow sticks, mobile phones – lighting up the audience, like a mass of bioluminescent plankton moving on the night sea.
That's not to suggest that Bieber is dreadful. Mostly he is just fine – all shiny himself in a series of blinged-out urban-lite tracksuits. He's not a bad dancer either, even if he executes his moves with drilled skill rather than natural elan. It's in contrast with his opening act, Willow "Daughter of Will" Smith, a gangling 11-year-old who resembles a streetwise string bean in bright green and black. She's only on for 14 minutes – due, you suspect, as much to the UK's strict child performance licence laws as her dearth of material thus far – but she fizzes with physicality. "Whip My Hair" – a sensational novelty single – is wonderfully manic; its overcooked sequel, "21st Century Girl", less so.
The most whizz-bang thing about Bieber's over-scripted and slightly workaday show is the hydraulics. A series of flying contraptions ensures that anyone here with even the most germinal of mothering instincts (and there are probably 23,000 of us, give or take a few dads and brothers) forgets to breathe as Bieber is repeatedly lofted high into the air and dangled over the crowd like bait. One contraption is a heart made of bits of scaffolding, in which Bieber plays surprisingly competent acoustic guitar for "Favorite Girl" – the kind of emotionally explicit swoon-fodder in which teen idols have long specialised. Bieber's slightly punchier R&B numbers are a little more fun.

Throughout it all, Bieber remains stoic, gazing out at his public with a kind of neutral professionalism that could just be a suppressed fear of heights. Disappointingly, there is little mischief to Bieber, no spin, precious little flirtatiousness, and zero winks. Is he enjoying himself up there? It's probably the only few minutes' peace he gets on his own all day.
Smaller details of his performance intrigue. Who would have thought that Bieber's backing singers would resemble a barbershop quartet recruited from the yakuza? The mystery of the finger-snapping far eastern hard men stage left is solved when Bieber reveals that he discovered Legaci – for that is their name – on YouTube. "Like I was discovered on YouTube!" he points out.
And what is Craig David doing here? The urban crooner comes on in the encore, introduced unenticingly by Bieber as "someone your parents might like". He performs his hit "7 Days" –, the very first time the notion of sex is broached tonight. "We were making love by Wednesday/ And on Thursday and Friday and Saturday/ We chilled on Sunday," it goes. Bieber eventually joins David, singing along to the chorus. If you watch his lips closely, though, he misses out the line about Wednesday entirely.
It all ends with the infernally catchy "Baby", a song that takes the most clichéd romantic pop trope to the limits of sense. "Like baby, baby, baby, ohhh," croon the Beliebers. There are those who would argue that tween girl fandom is active, creative and rewarding rather than passive and supine (all those hand-lettered posters, all that bonding). But you can't help but wonder what a musical world would sound like, in which all the inchoate longing of preteen girl lust was channelled into learning how to play guitar.
Or, alternatively, into creating an alternative, blue-haired, sugar-crazed, proto-vegetarian Wonderland. Katy Perry's California Dreams world tour is everything that Bieber's is not – silly, brightly coloured, theatrical, fun and very down on butchers. Even though her audience is only slightly older than Bieber's, Perry's Pierre et Gilles-in-a-sweet-shop theme has a lysergic edge to it, made plain when Perry bites into a "special" brownie proffered by a couple of mimes. She starts having funny dreams about following her Kitty (no relation) and fancying gingerbread men, all relayed on screens that progress the show's notional plot during her frequent dazzling costume changes.
I've never been a fan of Katy Perry, balking at the shock-tactic fake queerness of "I Kissed a Girl" and seething at "Ur So Gay". "California Gurls" remains a rotten song. But for all her gimlet-eyed calculation, Perry packs more wit and charisma into her eyelash extensions than most pop stars manage in a career. Tonight, "I Kissed a Girl" has a dramatic 60s torch song makeover; even "Ur So Gay" is forgiven.
Bieber's broadcast home videos make it clear he was a born show-off; Perry is a born entertainer, gabbing lucidly all the way through a bravura two-hour performance. The beautifully-lit Beliebers were the real stars of Bieber's show, but Katy Perry makes you actually believe in the ridiculous transformative spangle of pop music all over again.

Promotor Konser Justin Bieber Minta Maaf

Kapanlagi.com - Atas kecemasan yang dialami pemegang tiket kelas Festival konser Justin Bieber pada 23 April 2011, pihak promotor langsung mengeluarkan pernyataan resmi mereka. Promotor yang terdiri dari Berlian Entertainment, Multivision, Asia Sport Development (ASD), Marygops Studio, serta Mahkota Promotion memberikan tanggapan bagi para pembeli tiket presale yang telah dijual 22 Januari 2011 lalu."Kami mohon maaf yang sebesar-besarnya telah terjadi penjualan tiket presale kelas Festival pada Januari lalu sehingga mengakibatkan sekarang ini terjadi perubahan alokasi tempat duduk. Tim promotor sudah berusaha semaksimal mungkin untuk mengakomodir semua pihak demi kelanjutan konser Justin Bieber di Jakarta," tutur Shanne Harjani, Managing Director Marygops Studio.
"Tidak benar promotor melakukan penipuan kepada pembeli tiket presale, yang kami utamakan hanyalah keselamatan para pembeli tiket dan penonton seperti yang sudah menjadi permintaan khusus dari manajemen Justin Bieber. Jadi kami berharap jangan terpancing isu-isu negatif ataupun omongan yang tidak bertanggung jawab mengenai konser ini.

Sementara itu, Alan Solo selaku President Director ASD juga menjelaskan bahwa pihaknya telah berusaha sebaik mungkin untuk memberikan solusi terbaik bagi semua pihak.

Tapi beruntungnya, para pemegang tiket Festival yang sudah membeli sebelumnya, bisa langsung meng-upgrade tanpa ada tambahan biaya. (kpl/prl/boo)

Rebecca Black Ingin Gaet Justin Bieber

Kapanlagi.com - Walau sudah dikritik habis-habisan plus super pedas, rupanya penyanyi remaja Rebecca Black tak lantas putus asa. Bahkan, pelantun tembang Friday ini sudah punya setumpuk rencana, termasuk menggaet Justin Bieber!Justru karena kontroversi yang disebabkan karena lirik lagunya yang dianggap sangat dangkal, Rebecca diundang ke acara bincang-bincang GOOD MORNING AMERICA, di mana dirinya menampilkan lagunya secara akustik.
Dalam wawancara, Rebecca menyebut tentang Justin Bieber di antara banyak rencana lain yang dimilikinya. "Aku mengalami Bieber fever, aku jatuh cinta pada Justin Bieber. (Kalau aku bernyanyi bersamanya), akan jadi, oh, hanya dengan memikirkannya aku sudah sangat senang. Justin, kalau kau menonton sekarang, apakah kau mau berduet denganku? Akan sangat sulit dipercaya, inilah yang akan membuatku hidup," ujar Rebecca.
Ketika ditanya mengenai lagunya yang mendapat banyak kritik pedas, Rebecca menjawab, "Lagunya menarik. Kurasa aku memang berbakat di satu level, aku tak menganggap aku adalah penyanyi terburuk, tapi juga bukan yang terbaik."
"Ketika aku melihat komen-komen buruk itu pertama kali, aku memang menangis. Aku merasa ini memang salahku dan tak seharusnya aku melakukannya, dan semuanya karena aku," lanjut Rebecca.
Namun, Rebecca berhasil mendapatkan semangatnya kembali setelah produser musik terkenal, Simon Cowell mengaku menyukai lagunya. Dalam sebuah wawancara dengan People, Cowell memang sempat berujar, "Aku suka dia, dan nyatanya dia sudah sangat terkenal. Orang-orang mungkin tidak suka lagunya, tapi kurasa mereka cuma histeris. Aku ingin bertemu dengannya. Dia bisa membuat kontroversi ini hanya dalam waktu satu minggu, jadi aku ingin bertemu dengannya. Aku suka orang-orang seperti itu," ujar Cowell. (ace/mae)
