Justin Bieber is coming off a major hit documentary with his “Never Say Never” film that has just been released. And, he has even done some acting work on “CSI.” So, he certainly has the experience necessary to make the jump to feature film, doesn’t he?

This is where Mark Wahlberg comes in. Wahlberg, who is a huge fan of Bieber, has gone through what Bieber is going through now as he fights to make the move from teen star to feature film actor. Wahlberg stated in August that “the world needs Justin Bieber … Justin Bieber is like the white Tupac.” Now, in an interview with New York magazine he said, “Justin Bieber and I are going to do a movie together.”

Wahlberg is currently discussing the idea with Paramount and wants to start staging the movie at the studio after finishing his movie “The Fighter,” which won an Academy Award. Even better, Bieber is apparently thrilled about the idea. Wahlberg said, “He loves the idea. He’s been sending me video, he sent me a video of himself, and, yeah, I think he’s really talented.”

According to Wahlberg, the film is a drama about a “reluctant mentor in an inner-city environment.” He also said that there would be no singing or dancing in the movie, either by himself of Bieber. Wahlberg even went so far as to say in August that he would not perform hip-hop again, unless he was asked by Bieber to do so. He hasn’t performed in twenty years.

In a report by Deadline Hollywood, the movie is about street basketball and Bieber will be able to show he can act in a dramatic film. The producers of the movie will be Wahlberg and his partner Stephen Levinson and Scooter Braun, Bieber’s manager. Ian Edelman, creator of “How to Make in in America” seen on HBO, is writing the script.

Deadline’s report stated, “The tone of the project is described as ‘The Color of Money’ meets ‘The Karate Kid,’ and it came out of Wahlberg and Levinson seeing Bieber play ball in February during a celebrity game held during NBA All-Star Game weekend.”

It is obvious that Bieber wants to continue acting. He was very excited about his guest spot in the role of Jason McCann on “CSI” last September. He said, “I liked it because you never knew what was going to happen. Now that I’m on it, it’s pretty cool. It opens a different audience to the show and it also helps me because a new audience that might not know me is now going to see me. So it works both ways.”

Musicians such as Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift are expected to be nominated for the 2011 CMT Music Awards.

However, Justin Bieber is a surprise.

The young pop sensation received a nomination for his work with Rascal Flats on a countrified version of his song “That Should Be Me.” The country version of the song is on his EP, “Never Say Never – The Remixes.”

Bieber will duke it out with Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson for their duet “Don’t You Wanna Stay;” Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow for their “Collide;” Aaron Lewis, George Jones, and Charlie Daniels for their “Country Boy” and Loretta Lynn, Miranda Lambert, and Sheryl Crow for their “Coal Miner’s Daughter” for the award for Collaborative Video of the Year.

Aldean received the most nominations with four and Swift followed close behind with three. She is up for Best Web Video of the Year, which is a new category established to recognize online musical performances, for her video for “Mine.” Swift also received nominations for Video of the Year and Female Video of the Year.

Underwood was nominated twice, once for Female Video of the Year and once for Video of the Year, both for her video for “Undo It.”

Fan votes will decide who wins the awards, and the winders will be announced live in Nashville, Tennessee on June 8.

Justin Bieber’s Twitter followers, tagged as the “Beliebers”, have reached the 9 million follower mark in the micro-blogging site with 9,019,679 followers, trailing closely behind Lady Gaga’s “Little Monsters” who currently rules the social networking site with 9,499,793 followers.

Surprisingly though, Bieber’s Twitter followers have increased dramatically during his brief absence online. The 17-year old singer took a very short hiatus from the site to spend more time with his family and to concentrate more on the demands of his musical career. Shortly after his last tweet “patience is a virtue” and after his followers skyrocketed to that whopping seven figure number, the singer logged back in and tweeted “9 MILLION!!! I LOVE YOU PEOPLE!!!”

It will be exciting to see if Bieber’s followers can take over Gaga’s in the Twitter universe, as the latter edges the teen pop sensation by only 500,000 followers.

With Justin Bieber currently taking on a global trek as part of his “My World” world tour, speculations are fueled that his big surprise for his Aussie fans may come in the form of R&B sensation, Chris Brown.

“AUSTRALIA …we are coming… and there might be some surprises. LEGGO!!,” was Bieber’s tweet as he gears for the Australian leg of the tour. He let his fans clue in a bit more on who or what the surprise is through a YouTube link pointing to footage of a live duet between him and Brown for the song “Next 2 You”. Reps for the 17-year old singer would not confirm the rumor as well as the specific venue or city where the supposed surprise appearance would take place.

The “Never Say Never” singer is close to wrapping up the Asian leg of his world tour with a few more stops overlapping with his trek in Land Down Under which begins tonight in Brisbane. Among his other Australian stops will be an appearance at the Night of Nights TV show on Sunday, a show at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on the following Monday, and a show in Gold Coast as well, where fans of the pop sensation have camped outside the Palazzo Versace after reports have swirled that the singer was staying in the said hotel.

It’s another case of geography boo-boo for 17-year old pop sensation, Justin Bieber.

Four days ago, Bieber made a mistake of greeting his Malaysian fans, who came to the Stadium Merdeka Kuala Lumpur for his one-off show in the country, by saying “Hello Manila!”, which should probably be “Hello Malaysia”, or not, as he could have also forgotten that his one-nighter in Manila won’t be until May 10, and clearly, the greeting was three weeks premature.

Whichever the reason was, the salutary mishap drew criticism against the singer once again via social networking sites, mostly via Twitter.

One user posted, “Justin Bieber greets Malaysians ‘Hello Manila!,’ wears a Barcelona jersey in Madrid. Justin Bieber, you need a map”. While it wasn’t clear whether his Malaysian fans were outraged with the blunder or simply chose to ignore it, his Filipino fans thought the mistake was endearing. One Filipino blogger tweeted, “Justin Bieber Shouts “HELLO MANILA ” instead of Hello Malaysia .. haha Maybe he’s just so excited to come over here !! YAY.”

This is not Bieber’s first faux pas that would cause public ridicule for the poor teenage pop sensation. Last year, footage of his interview with a New Zealander host who quizzed him on whether “’Bieber’ is German for basketball” went viral mostly because of his answer which was, “We don’t say that in America.”

He took his frustration, annoyance and explanation to Twitter regarding the matter with posts like “I thought this interviewer in NZ said ‘Jewman’ instead of ‘German’ people think I don’t know what German is?” and “I count in GERMAN and translate my own name. Guess I know what German is. Guess home schooling is working out. Do your research next time b4 making a lame attempt at hating on a 16 year old.”

But the singer is probably numb from it all, after all, online detractors and critics, who are nothing but unimpressed and annoyed with his music and image, have been eyeing him since he broke out in the music scene at a tender age of 15 with a trademark do (which he recently trimmed off for a cleaner and sharper look).

Not very many teenagers get to attend parties that have been put together in their honor by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. Of course, not very many teenagers are as famous as pop phenomenon Justin Bieber.

When the fashion duo learned that Bieber would be performing at the Mediolanum Forum in Milan as one stop on his world tour, they threw an over-the-top reception for the teen sensation, which was held at the restaurant they own, Gold.

To make sure no one was confused as to who the April 9 party was for, a VIP section was established that included Bieber’s name written in oversized sparkling gold letters.

Stefano Gabbana, who is awed by the teen, said, “We like him a lot, although he’s very young, he’s very attentive towards style and he takes care of his look.” Bieber has been donning Dolce and Gabbana shirts and suits whenever he appears in public. At both the Golden Globes and the Academy Awards, he was seen in tailored garments that are included in the fashion duo’s men’s line.

Domenico Dolce stated, “It might be slightly premature to talk about a style icon, but it’s impossible to deny that he’s a model for his peers. Every age and every generation has its icons, after all.”

This was a great compliment for a person who has worked with pop starts like Britney Spears, Kylie Minogue, and Madonna. He is will on his way.

The most-adored teenage singer in the entire world is in Israel.

Justin Bieber, who is best recognized for his hit songs One Time and Baby, among others, is scheduled to perform a concert at Tel Aviv’s Hayarkon Park on Thursday.

Bieber, a 17 year old from Canada, is residing at the Sheraton Hotel in Tel Aviv for the week leading up to the concert. When his plane touched down, Bieber tweeted about his jet lag and that he ate a fast breakfast at the famous and historical Abulafia bakery in Jaffa.

He is currently scheduled to meet Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel. He will also take a tour of Caesarea, the Dead Sea, and Masada.

Israel’s Deputy Foreign Minister, Danny Ayalon twittered, “Welcome Justin Bieber to Israel! I know you will enjoy your time here as much as many Israelis will enjoy having you here.”

About 700 kids from the southern part of Israel, including Sderot, that was impacted by rockets shot over the Gaza border, will be able to see the concert for free.

Romeo Miller, a contestant on this season’s Dancing With The Stars competition has said that Justin Bieber might be appearing on the last show of the ABC hit.

In an interview with Hollywood Life, Miller said that he was planning a surprise with his pal Bieber in the event that he is able to come to the finale of the series’ 12th season.

Miller stated, “All the Justin Bieber fans, y’all can vote for me as well. If you all keep voting for me, I’ll have a surprise, something with Justin. I can’t really

tell but if I make it to the finale, it’ll be a great surprise for Bieber fans.”

Bieber and Miller met several months ago as they were both players on one of the teams at the BBVA NBA All-Star Celebrity Game.

Miller continued to predict what might go down if Bieber became a contestant on the show.

He said, “If Justin Bieber was on Dancing With The Stars, everybody else might as well just quit. He wouldn’t have a problem with the fan votes. Plus I think Bieber

has a heads up because he already likes dancing and already has some dance moves.”

Miller’s dance partner on the show is Chelsie Hightower. He indicated that when it came time for his first appearance on DWTS, he was more nervous than he had ever been before.
