Michael Jackson may have been a legend, but 17-year old Justin Bieber is slowly following in his footsteps, from the kind of frenzy and stampede he brings wherever he goes, to the kind of numbers he racks up when it comes to album and even box office sales.

By a slim margin of $100,000, Bieber outlasts – at least for now – Michael Jackson in the race for having the most successful docu-music-film in US history. Jackson’s “This is It”, which was released months after the King of Pop had passed and features the star’s preparations for his supposedly final tour, raked in $72.1 million according to The Hollywood Reporter, while Bieber’s “Never Say Never”, which is presented in almost the same fashion, kind of like a video diary, took in a hundred thousand dollars more in ticket receipts than the former.

But those are just the figures back home. Overseas, Bieber has no right to brag, well not just yet perhaps, as he still has a very long way to go. In fact, his producers at Paramount are predicting a modest $20 million payday from the movie’s international screenings, and so far, the movie has already made $10.8 million a month after its release. “This is It” raked in $261.2 million worldwide, indeed Bieber’s film has a long way to go.

As for the race for the top grossing documentaries of all time, Box Office Mojo tallies “Never Say Never” at a decent spot at no.3, after “March of the Penguins” outlasted it by $5 million. The top spot goes to “Fahrenheit 9/11” which earned $119.1 million.

After months of trying to keep things under wraps, 18-year old Selena Gomez finally dishes out a few but juicy details about her relationship with rumored boyfriend, 17-year old pop star Justin Bieber. The spill comes after the two appeared at the Vanity Fair Oscar party together and seemingly inseparable.

Last night, Gomez appeared on the “Late Show with David Letterman” and the late night host didn’t waste a minute in grilling the young star about her dating life, starting it off by flashing a photo of the twosome from the said Oscar party.

“Oh, that’s cute! It was like a little prom night, wasn’t it? Looked like it,” the young singer commented innocently. When asked by the host how they met, “Actually, his manager called my mom, who’s my manager,” she replied.

When asked straight forwardly by Letterman if she and the “Baby” singer are dating, she beat around the bush and said, “He’s been in my life for so long, and it’s just nice to have someone that understands what you’re going through.”

According to Gomez, the two have known each other for about a couple of years.

Justin took time away from his tour of the UK to meet up with his double in London at Madame Tussauds.

The waxwork of the singing sensation was one of the three that were being simultaneously unveiled. The other two were revealed in New York and Amsterdam.

The seventeen year old singer was involved closely in the creation of the figure over a period of eight months. He gave sittings last year in the New York studio of Madam Tussauds.

The wax figure sports the traditional “Bieber cut, rather than Justin’s new shorter, chopped look.

Hairstylists for the wax figure worked with the personal hairstylist of Justin’s to ensure the haircut was a perfect replica.

The figure is also wearing black jeans along with a red and black shirt and black high tops.

Bieber chose the outfits for the Amsterdam and London models. He also donated an outfit for the figure in New York.

When Bieber was asked what he thought about his wax double, he replied it was incredible seeing it. He also joked that he was six feet taller at least than that guy.

After sharing hosting duties at last year’s MTV EMAs in Madrid with Eva Longoria, Justin Bieber, who co-hosted the Madrid event via live web stream, is most likely to grace the same event this year, but as the lead host this time.

“Justin was such a hit that bosses are considering him for the main event this year. Snoop Dogg, Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus are also contenders but at the moment it’s swinging in Justin’s favour,” a source for The Sun stated.

Despite his favorable odds to host the said event, execs are worried though that Bieber’s hosting duties might present an awkward situation as he is also among the event’s frontrunners with multiple nominations. Not to mention that the event is solely based on fan votes so Bieber’s possible hosting stint might encourage his already huge fan base to vote for him even more.

“With him in charge they have the guarantee that his millions of fans worldwide will tune in. The only problem is he’s likely to win a few awards so it could make his hosting duties more awkward,” the source further explained.

Stars who have hosted the MTV EMAs for the past three years were Eva Longoria, Katy Perry and Snoop Dogg.

The 2011 MTV Europe Music Awards will be held in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

With an upcoming show in Liverpool’s ECHO Arena, Justin Bieber is once again the root of all the raucous and stampedes lingering outside The Hard Days Night building.

Police advised the 17-year old singer not to give in to his fans’ request to step outside his balcony for a simple greeting, for fear that the situation might worsen. To this, the singer tweeted: “i cant even say hi to my fans outside cuz of the police. some bull. Trying to work it out so i can say whatup to my fans (sic).”

Indeed the singer’s camp and the cops were able to work something out as minutes later, Bieber was allowed to step outside the balcony to say ‘hi’ to his fans who waited and almost camped outside the building just to see a glimpse of the pop heart throb.

Bieber once again took to Twitter his joy after seeing thousands of his English fans: “I LOVE YOU GUYS!! that was great! got to say hi to everyone. we are following the rules. lol. #LOVEMYFANS (sic)”

Justin Bieber and Rascal Flatts recently teamed up to collaborate on a new edition of “That Should Be Me,” a Bieber hit. Now, extra film from that video will be on television as well.

ABC released a statement that Bieber and pop siner Natasha Bedingfield are going to show up on the musical special “Rascal Flatts: Nothing Like This” which is scheduled to be televised on March 12. The majority of the program will concentrate on the popular country group; however Bieber is going to be featured as one of a number of artists with whom the group has collaborated through the years.

When Bieber appears on the show, he will have another opportunity to get more television exposure. He has appeared on television two other times on “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” and on “Shaq Vs” in the last 12 months. In addition, Bieber has finished taping an appearance on CBS’ “CSI.”

Justin Bieber says ‘sorry’ to his fans via Twitter after he was caught flipping the middle finger at a paparazzo on Tuesday night after a birthday dinner date with his girlfriend, Disney princess Selena Gomez.

Just when the pop heartthrob turned a year older, he did something he has never been heard of doing. He flashed the finger right before speeding off while Gomez was trying to cover her face after they were both mobbed by photographers upon exiting an Italian restaurant.

His rare outburst was saved by a very apologetic tweet saying that he’s ‘sorry’ and that he’s wiser now not to ‘react in anger’.

Meanwhile, Bieber and his more than 7 million Twitter followers were able to achieve a humanitarian feat after they all have raised $40,000 for a non-profitable charity group aiming to provide potable water in underserved communities. And speaking of Bieber’s charitable efforts, his hair, which went on to auction via Ellen Degeneres, has already been sold for more than $40,000 as well.

Clearly, Bieber’s influence spans beyond pop music, as in a mere couple of years, he went on from being a YouTube sensation, to US’s fourth best selling artist, to TV and film personality, and now, an instrument for social and humanitarian change.

With only a handful of artists known to achieve it, Nelly and 50 Cent to name a few, Justin Bieber has done the rare and unusual at the Billboard Albums Chart this week. With four releases now out in the market, Bieber notches two spots at the Top 5 with his new set “Never Say Never – The Remixes” and the oldie but goodie, “My World 2.0”.

Keith Caulfield, Associate Director of Charts for Billboard, describes the feat a “very big deal” and “unusual”, considering the singer’s second entry, “2.0”, being a year old but has proven that It can still make waves at the charts till today. Caulfield cites the singer’s first silver screen flick, “Justin Bieber: Never Say Never”, as the motivating factor that have once again triggered interest in the year-old album. This won’t be the first time for the 17-year old singer to have done it though, as just last year, the same album first entered the list at the top while its predecessor, “My World”, was spotted at no.5.

This week, “My World 2.0” sits at no.5 while “The Remixes” clinches to no.2 after spending a week atop the charts, thanks to Adele’s “21”, this week’s ruler.

As mentioned, Nelly achieved the same back in 2004 when he simultaneously released the records “Sweat” and “Suit” which peaked at no.1 and no.2, respectively, while 50 Cent’s 2003 debut “Get Rich or Die Tryin’” cemented its spot on the charts at no.5 while the rapper’s CD/DVD release, “The New Breed”, peaked at no.2.

Justin Bieber might be showing up in “Zombieland 2.” Abigail Breslin, star of the movie, has made no secret of her desire to have Bieber play a zombie in the follow-up movie to the first successful film.

When Bill Murray made a brief appearance in “Zombieland” audiences laughed until they cried. What would they do if Justin Bieber showed up?

Breslin discussed Murray’s cameo by stating, “That was just a really fun, hysterical scene. They would have to get something really, really unexpected [to top it]…Maybe Justin Bieber zombiefied.”

But, fans of either “Zombieland” or Bieber should not hold their breath. “Zombieland 2” might not even happen. Based on information from Breslin, a sequel is not yet even in production.

But, Breslin says she would really like to appear in the sequel as the sweet, humorous baby sister of Wichita, played by Emma Stone. Breslin said, “I don’t really know what’s going on with it at the moment but if it came around I’d love to play Little Rock again.”
