Justin Bieber Forced to Reschedule New York Show Due to Illness

Posted by Deena Edison On August - 30 - 2010

Justin Bieber may be one of the world’s biggest pop stars today but he is still just like any of us who could be under the weather because of continuous work, or in his case, continuous performances with almost no time to relax.

The young artist postponed his one-off gig at the New York State Fair in Syracuse scheduled for August 29, Sunday due to fatigue.  But worry no more “Biebsters” or “Beliebers” for the State Fair show is moved to Wednesday, September 1.

Bieber has not been feeling well on the night of his show in Providence, RI three days ago but still went through with it.  “[G]reat night in Providence … little scare that we might not do the show but we rocked out…,” the teen star posted on his Twitter page.

Meanwhile, with the exception of the State Fair gig, all shows will push through as planned.  The Biebs will be at NYC’s Madison Square Garden tomorrow followed by a jam-packed fall tour schedule which might put Bieber’s health, once again, to the test.

Want to be in a Film with Justin Bieber

Posted by Deena Edison On August - 26 - 2010

The news of a Justin Bieber 3D film has been making its rounds in various news outlets for weeks now. But just today, Bieber’s camp has announced that they are in search for “Biebsters” or fans of the pop heartthrob to appear in the said movie project.

To join the casting process, Bieber fans should send a video of themselves singing the Bieber track “That Should Be Me” or other singles from the young artist. Smiling photos could also do the trick. Post all entries at the Bieber Fever website not later than 5 PM today.

It is still not sure how the fan footages will be used in the flick but the movie is already slated for a February 14, 2011 release. But the bigger question is, how far would you go to grab the attention of Justin Bieber? Be your most remarkable self and send those entries now!

Justin Bieber Books 140 Concert Tour Dates in 2011

Posted by Deena Edison On August - 23 - 2010

Pop teen heartthrob Justin Bieber has signed an unprecedented deal with tour promoter AEG Live for 2011.

The contract requires The Biebs to perform a total of 140 shows between the months of June and December 2011.  Now this only means one thing, there are only 184 days in those seven months and if the “U Smile” singer is required to perform in 140 shows then he’ll be left with only 44 days or 6 weeks of R&R.  Here’s hoping he withstands the workload.

But Bieber didn’t sign the hefty termed contract without getting an equally hefty deal for himself as well.  For him to sign the deal, The Biebs demanded the tour promoter to fund a “certain screenplay as requested by Justin Bieber”, which also means one more thing, a Justin Bieber movie, whether an autobiographical account or a fictional story that Bieber wishes to star in is a done deal, all that is missing is the script.

Meanwhile, an autobiographical and still untitled Justin Bieber 3D flick which also chronicles his road to stardom will play in cinemas towards the end of this year.  It should be noted though that this Bieber film is apart from the deal that the singer and AEG Live signed on.

Free Justin Bieber Tickets on Facebook? Don’t Bet on It

Posted by Deena Edison On August - 19 - 2010

A scam on Facebook that claims it is offering free Justin Bieber concert tickets is actually signing teenagers up for a premium rate, expensive mobile phone service.

There were messages on Facebook circulating that said, wow, Justin Bieber’s giving free concert tickets away!

Many fans of the teen pop star obviously are very anxious to get their hands on Justin Bieber concert tickets and be more than willing to click the link.

What they will discover however is that tricksters are scamming then through the lure of getting free tickets to a Justin Bieber concert to trick them into give a rogue application permission to post updates on their Facebook status and well.  The messages state the the user on Facebook just won 4 free Justin Bieber show tickets.  Of course they haven’t.  The headline reads “Justin Bieber Free Concert Ticket Giveaway! Justin Bieber World Tour.”

The messages of course are designed to entrap even  more people into their snare, spreading the scam in viral fashion.

Why are the scammers wanting to spread this message?  They might want to use the rogue application for posting more scams, including perhaps even malicious links sometime in the future.  However the danger right now is in your search for free Bieber tickets you are agreeing to enter the number from your mobile phone which signs you up for a service with a high premium.

Overall, this seems to be a dirty trick designed to con young kids out of their money.

When you see messages like this you need to think twice.  Even when your friends are apparently sharing them and particularly when you are requested to install any application that provides access to your profile on Facebook.

This isn’t the first time Facebook cyber criminals have exploited the popularity of Justin Bieber.  In the past there have been claims of Bieber being caught being naughty while on the web cam, or that he has been caught flirting, or his cellphone number is posted on the net, or pictures of while with Cheryl Cole that are used as bait.

Bieber is probably the most likely celebrity that the Facebook scammers currently use in their schemes.

If you have a Facebook account and are wanting to learn more in regards to security threats from social networks and other places on the web, you can join Sophos’ Facebook change.  This could end up being the best decision you’ve ever made in term of social networks.

Facebook and bit.ly have been informed about this latest Facebook scam.  Hopefully the rogue application and offending links will soon be shut down.  Unfortunately recent history has proven it doesn’t take the scammers long to set new pages up designed to trick the unaware.

Just like Minaj and fellow Canadian Drake, Bieber also successfully made a name for himself in the music biz after surfacing in the limelight in 2009, thanks to YouTube and Usher. Since he released his first single, “One Time” in late 2009, Bieber’s popularity has increased exponentially which resulted into several stampede incidents involving hysterical fans wherever the young pop crooner goes or performs. So if you’re seriously considering attending the VMAs next month in Los Angeles, consider yourself warned and prepare yourself for Bieber Fever, live!

Posted by Deena Edison On August - 16 - 2010

According to John Chu he jumped at having the chance to direct the film of Justin Bieber’s.

The filmmaker of Step Up 3D will be heading the teenage singing sensation’s 3D movie. Cameras will follow Bieber behind the scenes during his gigs at Madison Square Garden in New York and Nashville later this month, according to Deadline.com.

Chu said, when they approached me about doing the Justin film, I leaped at the chance to tell his story with heart and honesty. Most people don’t realize his story is a real underdog one. I hope to be able to tell his story in a genuine and compelling way, using all available source materials to convey his story of becoming one of the icons of this digital age.

The story is about a new voice who continues the tradition of earlier musicians who helped to define their generation.

The film of Justin’s is still untitled. It is scheduled to be released on the weekend of 2011 Valentine’s Day.

Bieber Tweet Save MTV Show from Cancellation

Posted by Deena Edison On August - 2 - 2010

Justin Bieber’s power knows no limit. He might have saved “The Hard Times of RJ Berger” from MTV by uttering a few words.

TV Guide is reporting that the decision made by the network to renew another 12 episodes of the series came after the rise in ratings following a tweet made by Bieber endorsing the show.

On July 19 Bieber tweeted that he had met the creators of the new MTV show and that they were good dudes and that the show was funny stuff.

The ratings that night had a 9 percent increase. The next week the ratings went up another 14 percent over the episode prior to Bieber’s tweet.

David Katzenberg, executive producer and co-creator, seemed grateful to Bieber for any role he had in helping to get the show renewed. He told TV Guide, the show is word of mouth. Right now kids aren’t in school to talk about it. For us that’s been a problem. However the fans of Justin Bieber are incredibly loyal. It seems to be rubbing off for our show.
