Justin Bieber Bullying Story Surface



Beliebers know that their hero Justin Bieber cares about his fellow humans. He donates buckets of money to a variety of causes (Pencils of Promise is the most prominent, as well as his hometown food bank in Canada) and visits sick kids in the hospital. He’s certainly doing his part. That doesn’t mean that the Bieber backlash from the haters will ever stop.
Reddit posted a call for stories of regular people being bullied by celebrities and they got quite a few responses regarding actors, A-listers and more. There were a few stories about the Biebs that didn’t quite paint him as a bully, but the behavior is a bit unbecoming. It’s not substantiated other than by the sources that claim to have been the victim, but there are details. His former ‘CSI’ co-star Marg Helgenberger, who called him a brat, would likely say, “See, I told ya!” upon hearing these stories.
One person posted the following: “I was bullied by Justin Bieber (!!) back in 2006 while studying at Stratford Northwestern Public School. We did 7th grade. It didn’t bother me, I’m actually very happy to know that he’s famous because today he’s one of the most hated teenagers in the world.” Karma, right?
Another stated: “Justin Bieber used to play on my hockey team when he played in Stratford. He rarely passed and constantly called me a ‘homo or ‘f—’ when I didn’t pass to him. To keep it short, nobody here likes him.” Ouch!
Lastly, this one positions the Biebs as bratty. A source claimed, “This isn’t ‘bullying’, per se, but still a douche-y move. My friend works at the Apple store in the richest mall in Atlanta and Justin Bieber came in to buy a laptop. When he brought it up to the counter, he just threw a wad of cash at her and told her to count it out herself. She threw it back at him and refused to ring him up until he acted more respectful.” Hmm.
Again, these stories are face value and Beliebers can take ‘em or leave ‘em. Nobody is perfect and kids will be kids. That said, there’s no excuse for bad behavior and we’re not condoning any of these behaviors — and we’re right there with Lady Gaga as she works to stamp out bullying. So, if the Biebs did commit the offenses, shame on him and hopefully he’s matured and learned a lesson.
We’ve gotta give him props, though, as he cruises towards his 18th birthday in March. He’s being generous and kind with his time, using his incredible fame for good. He is generous and caring, and the good certainly seems to outweigh the bad.

Lil Twist And Justin Bieber To Drop Single 'Real Soon'



Lil Twist has spent a long time prepping his Young Money debut Don’t Get It Twisted. The LP which was originally supposed to drop in 2011 has already yielded quite a few singles and many big name features. Lil Wayne appears on the R&B-laced “Love Affair,” 2 Chainz keeps things street on “Do What I Want” and Busta Rhymes trades super quick bars on “Turnt Up.” Twist hasn’t played all of his cards though, the 18-year old MC plans to release his new single with Justin Bieber real soon.
"We're getting ready to drop that record 'Wherever You Are.' Y'all will have that real soon," Lil Twist told MTV News of the high-powered collaboration. "It's a fun record. Justin killed it. He's, like, rap-singing on it; another different sound for Justin."
Twist, who built his fanbase thanks to pop-rap joints like "Little Secret" with Bow Wow and "Love Affair," has been developing a harder edge lately. His recently released video for the Busta Rhymes-assisted "Turnt Up" focuses more on the 18-year old's rap bars rather than his penchant for catchy hooks. His Golden Child mixtape, which he dropped in December, also shows a similar growth. But with "Wherever You Are," Twist just promises a good time.
"It's gonna be great. It's a cool summer record," Twist told MTV News last August. "It's a party song. Straight for the sun. It's a Miami record."

While the record has been in the works for some time, Twist is almost ready to let to go. "Just me and Justin, people been waiting on that," he said of his bond with the Biebs. "That's my brother right there. It's just been a long time coming. Now that we been had the record done, it's time to put it out."

When contemplating career, Justin Bieber never says ‘over’



According to someone very close to Justin Bieber, the teen superstar is obsessed with remaining relevant to his fans — and doesn’t want to “have a short-lived career like Hanson” or other once sizzling-hot young entertainers who now show up on “Whatever Happened To?” lists.
“Justin is so very savvy about his fame and the media, and he also ‘gets’ that whole concept of people being targeted [by the press] when they’re on top.”
As the Bieber buddy put it, “Justin knows how everyone loves a hot newcomer … and then can so quickly turn fickle and begin to dig up stuff to tear them down.”
The source used the accusation of Bieber allegedly fathering a baby last year as just one example of how the 17-year-old singer sees the negative aspects of the fame game.

“Justin is a serious musician. He knows how to keep his cool. He understands how hard it is to remain relevant. … He wants to become what he calls a ‘forever star,’ like aMadonna or a Stevie Wonder or a Sinatra or Tony Bennett. He does have this thing about wanting to be eternally loved by his fans.”
† As for that tattoo of Jesus Christ’s face Bieber recently had inked on his calf, the singer told V magazine it was his way of constantly being reminded of his faith, since he doesn’t feel he needs to regularly attend church in order to be in touch with his beliefs.

The Rachel Berry of "Glee" and the "Baby" hitmaker are currently vying for the top honors at the 6th annual Libby Awards, which is sponsored by PETA's youth division, peta2. 

Having stood up for carriage horses in New York City, 25-year-old Michele lands the nomination of Top Animal Friendly Celebrity. In the category, she is being put up against "Jackass" star Steve-O, "Victorious" star Daniella Monet and Cobra Starship's Gabe Saporta. 

17-year-old Bieber, in the meantime, is on the run to win the title of Most Animal Friendly Pop/Hip-Hop Artist thanks to his pro-adoption campaign. He is set to face off against Ke$ha, who campaigned against the Canadian seal slaughter, and two other musicians, k-os and Waka Flocka Flame

Justin Bieber At the AMAs: Favorite Male Artist For a Second Year?


Justin Bieber brought some Holiday cheer to the 2011 American Music Awards. Sean Kingston introduced the 17-year-old singer on stage. Bieber performed his new single from his number one Holiday album Under the Mistletoe, which has a reggae sounding twist.
Even though his name has been in the headlines and he is obviously going through some stressful things, he didn't seem to let that get to him. Bieber wasn't alone at the awards either, his faithful girlfriend, Selena Gomez, was by his side as they arrived to the awards. Throughout the night, they could be seen together in the audience, enjoying the show's many performances.
Bieber wasn't at the awards only to perform, he was also nominated! He went up against Bruno Mars and Pitbull for Favorite Male Artist (Pop or Rock). Bieber won the award last year and many wondered if he would be able to pull it off for a second year in a row.
Bieber may have over 14 million Twitter followers and even more faithful 'Beliebers,' but he lost the award to Bruno Mars. Mars was gracious, though, and acknowledged both Bieber and Pitbull in his acceptance speech.
Overall, Bieber has shown that he is a strong kid and isn't letting his personal problems get in the way of his professional career.
Did you enjoy Justin Bieber's performance? Were you surprised that he did not win Favorite Male Rock/Pop Artist? Comment :)

Justin Bieber's "Under The Mistletoe" Likely to Debut No.1 On Billboard Charts

The sales prognosticators over at Billboard are predicting that Justin Bieber‘s holiday set ‘Under the Mistletoe‘ will debut at No. 1 on the Top 200 sales chart next week. We didn’t doubt that the Beliebers would come out in full force to support their hero and his holiday set, and it appears that they answered the call. If the collection of fun, festive and spirit-filled tunes does debut at the top of the heap, it will be The Biebs’ third No. 1 release! And he’s only 17!


Insiders predict that the record will sell between 200,000 and 220,000 by the time the retail polls close next week. The final charts will be released on Wednesday morning.


The Biebs’ last time at No. 1 was the ‘Never Say Never: The Remixes’ EP, which dropped on March 5 with 165,000 copies moved at that time. His only competition next week is Wale, Susan Boyle, Miranda Lambert and Florence + the Machine, but all of their expected first week tallies fall well south of Bieber’s expected haul.


We’ll offer an advance “congrats” to The Biebs, because this one is in the back. Now, the rest of you Beliebers need to go nab a copy and blast it when you start to decorate your Christmas tree and wrap presents! We’re celebrating our holidays with a heaping helping of Justin Bieber Christmas songs.

Help Pencils Of Promise Win 1 Million Dollar to Build 40 more Schools!

Pencils of Promise (POP) was founded in October 2008 by Adam Braun, Scooter Brauns brother.

Pencils of Promise builds schools in the developing world and trains young leaders to take action at home and abroad. In three years we have broken ground on 40+ schools in Laos, Nicaragua and Guatemala, and have provided 150,000+ hours of training to a new generation of changemakers here at home. Through their efforts, a ripple effect has begun that’s allowed us to deliver over 1 million educational hours in the developing world. We pledge to act with radical transparency. We post all of our financial data online, sharing that 87% of expenses go directly towards programs rather than overhead. We post images, videos and GPS coordinates of every school we build rather than just claiming they exist somewhere in the world. We work with communities rather than at them, training locals to oversee every step of their own people’s educational attainment. We are the organization that you don’t just support but join, and we are training a new generation of social entrepreneurs to take action.

Help Pencils of Promise win $1 million to build 40 more schools!
