Justin Bieber’s Hair Fetching $7000 on eBay

Posted by Deena Edison On February - 25 - 2011

Everything that Justin Bieber does manages to make news and his new hairdo is not an exception. Just weeks before his 17th birthday, Biebs decided that his tired of the same old hairstyle that has got people wondering if he does have a forehead or not, and just chopped some of it off for a sleeker look. “I just wanted to, that’s all, not really a big reason; I just woke up and said, ‘I don’t want this anymore’, so I just cut it,” the teen singer said to Ellen DeGeneres when he appeared on the talk show this week.

But he trimmed his famous blonde locks not just out of whim, he’s also doing it for a good cause. Apparently, Bieber is spreading the remains of his chopped hair all around town and Ellen was not spared. During his interview, he handed over his hair enclosed in an autographed Perspex box to the host, who in turn has announced that she will put the item up for bids via her website with proceeds going to The Gentle Barn, a non-profit company focused on animal rescue and rehabilitation.

Some of Bieber’s hair has also found its way on eBay, with a bid now escalating to a whopping $7,000 after more than 60 bids. Those who’d like to take part in the action or just want to snipe in at the last second still have five more days before the auction closes.

While his hair is raising money for charity from all sorts of avenues and personalities, his new do is raising some eyebrows as well. After posting a snapshot of his new look via his Twitter page, Bieber lost about 80,000 of his more than 7 million followers.

He doesn’t seem to worry though, probably because he knows that when his hair grows back, some, if not all, of those 80,000 followers who ditched him will also be back to read his tweets on a regular basis again.

Justin Bieber Takes MVP in NBA Celebrity All Star Game

Posted by Deena Edison On February - 19 - 2011

Who would’ve thought that Biebs had moves on the hard court too?

Apparently, all the other players from yesterday’s 2011 BBVA NBA Celebrity All-Star Game got served with Justin Bieber’s slick footwork and ball passing skills, and although his stats weren’t that superb with his team failing to win the game, for his age and size, his stats were pretty solid which led him to bag the Most Valuable Player award for the game.

Clearly, Biebs has got his game on, whether on stage, in the recording studio, in wooing girls of all ages or on the hard court. And wherever he went, his legion of fans was just there to back him up as he “drew the loudest cheers with his ball handling, a few slick passes and several glances toward the crowd,” as quoted from a released statement after the game.

And wherever he went and whatever he does, the 16-year old Grammy Award nominee easily draws attention not only from his swarms of fans, but from media peeps as well. Here’s what Sal Masekela has posted on his Twitter page: “Damn. @Common almost had his ankle broke by the Bieber.”

Amidst the ball game, the “Never Say Never” star and singer still took time to keep his followers posted via Twitter: —”13 hours on a plane…we land…go straight to the court…yeah we go hard!! 2nd half is about to get serious. #bbvaceleb”.

After all the hype, Bieber also took to Twitter that he’ll be auctioning off his jersey via bieberfever.com with proceeds going to charity. Oh, and did we mention that Bieber’s West team was coached by none other than Magic Johnson himself?

Seems like Biebs is living the life, the sweet life of a young superstar.

Justin Bieber Does His Best Lady Gaga on Ellen

Posted by Deena Edison On February - 10 - 2011

In yesterday’s episode of the Ellen Degeneres Show, guests Justin Bieber and James Blunt and Ellen herself tried to give their own spins to “Born this Way”, the as-of-yet unreleased new single from Lady Gaga. Since no one has heard the track before except for the song’s lyrics, the three tried to come up with their own melodies to give the audiences a “sneak preview” of the single.

Bieber’s version was “certainly the most melodic of three” as Ellen would put it, after Blunt’s version simply sounded like a sampling of his hit “You’re Beautiful” while singing to Gaga’s words instead. “No you’ve just changed the key, that’s still your song, ‘You’re Beautiful’”, Bieber commented, to which Blunt joked, “Hey listen kid I’ve been doing this for years, I know what I’m doing”.

“Born this Way” is Gaga’s first single to come off her new and third album of the same title. Set to debut on-air tomorrow, February 11, Gaga describes the track as “a completely magical message song”. In an interview with Vogue, which appears in the magazine’s March issue of which, she also graces the cover, she adds, “And after I wrote it, the gates just opened, and the songs kept coming. It was like an immaculate conception”. The singer also claims that she penned the song in only 10 minutes.

Justin Bieber May Pass on ‘New Year’s Eve’ Role

Posted by Deena Edison On February - 2 - 2011

You know how Garry Marshall loves having his movies full of big names, including at times music stars like Taylor Swift.  So it’s not too surprising that Marshall would want Justin Bieber, the 16 year old singing sensation, for his latest project called “New Year’s Eve.”  It’s starting to look , however, like Justin may not end up appearing in Marshall’s new project after all.  The reason is simple: he is too busy.

An inside source recently said, they tried, however it doesn’t appear they will be able to get it to work due to scheduling.

Even if Bieber doesn’t wind up in the movie, at least Marshall will still be able to brag about all the other big names that young people are familiar with, including Ashton Kutcher Zac Efron and Lea Michele, the star from “Glee.”
