Justin Bieber Headed For Lunch to LaPaz Mexican restaurant

Justin Bieber was seen riding his birthday gifted sports car Fisker Karma along with a friend on a sunny afternoon around LA before heading for lunch To Lapaz, a Mexican restaurant. This solar panel powered electric car marvel was gifted to him by his manager Scooter Braun on the occasion of Justin Bieber’s 18th birthday. On the Ellen Degeneres show, where Bieber was presented with the dream machine, Scooter said, ‘We wanted to make sure, since you love cars, that when you’re on the road you are always looking environmentally friendly, And we decided to get you a car that would make you stand out,’ he added, before the stunned star saw his new car.’

Justin Bieber is known for his craze for sports cars and we see the evidence in his latest music video of ‘Boyfriend’ as well where he is seen driving a muscle car. The Fisker Karma has been highly modded by Justin and sports a flashy chrome wrapped colour. It gives out a sparkling radiance in the bright sunshine as seen in the images below.

Fisker Karma Was Gifted To Justin By Scooter Braun on His 18th Birthday

The ‘Boyfriend’ singer wore casual clothes which included a red and white jacket, black trousers and white trainers. Justin as we know ain’t that keen on giving the media too much attention. Wearing constantly his baseball cap he gives a hint that he needs to be left alone. The infamous Paparazzi too recently got a taste of his avoidance when one of them was nearly run over by the 18 year old while he attempted to take some money shots by standing right on the middle of the road.

After the lunch he headed for rehearsals for Sunday night’s Billboard awards which will see him perform. Tweeting about the big show ahead, Justin wrote, ‘Rehearsal #focused’, later adding: ‘Sunday we are goin in! #BILLBOARDawards.’

Justin Bieber Will Be Performing ar The Billboard Awards This Sunday Night

Justin Bieber and girlfriend Selena Gomez were seen in his pimped ride about a month ago going around LA.

In other news, Justin shared his life changing experience after finding fame in an interview. ‘I keep my guard up a lot, because you know, you can’t trust anyone in this business,’ he says. ‘That’s what’s sad. You can’t trust anybody. I learned the hard way.’ Justin is accompanied by his bodyguard most of the time as seen in the images as well.

Justin also seems to have tasted alcohol. In an interview to GQ magazine he revealed, ‘For me, it’s just like, I like to be in control of myself, I mean, I’ve had a beer, like, before… But I never get out of control.’ That’s a squeaky clean star showing his humbleness by revealing this.

The talented artist, now also a focused venture capitalist as called by Forbes magazine seems to have finally got a driving license. Congrats Justin. Drive safe!

After Justin Bieber’s phenomenal success in his music career in just three years, Forbes magazine has Bieber third on its most powerful celebrity list. The 18 year old has sold more than 15 million albums, grossing $150 million on 157 tour dates worldwide since his debut in 2009. The so called ‘Twitter King’ has more than 21 million followers on Twitter along with 43 million Facebook followers which surpasses both Barack Obama and Mitt Romney’s combined. His success speaks louder when we see his You Tube stats. Bieber’s smash hit ballad ‘Baby’ music video alone has more than 740 million views, which makes it the most watched video of all time on You Tube. His Vevo’s channel has more than 2 billion impressions, which could be broken up into 1 minute of video to every person on the planet, if we assume three minutes per song.

Those were just based on his music career stats. Justin Bieber raked in more than $100 million from his musical concert biopic ‘Justin Bieber: Never Say Never’, making it the highest grossing music concert movie since 1984 in the US. His FIFI award winner perfume ‘Someday’ has already started breaking records by grossing $3 million in just three weeks recently. Released somewhere in June 2011, it earned $60 million in retail sales in 6 months.

Personally, Justin Bieber has earned $108 million in the past 2 years with all these income streams. His last year’s income of $55 million might have well earned him the Forbes magazine cover. Check out the interview below.

So what’s the teen heartthrob doing with all that money? We all know that Bieber gives away a lot in charity, but surely not everything. According to Justin Bieber’s business manager, Justin holds stakes in a dozen private tech startups. Some of the companies identified by Forbes were messaging platform Tinychat, social-­curation app Stamped, gaming outfit Sojo Studios and, most critically, Spot­i­fy, the disruptive music service founded by Daniel Ek and backed by everyone from Sean Parker to Li Ka-shing. Wetopia, a game on Facebook too is supported by Justin Bieber, which allows users to play the game and in return help real needy people.

Bieber’s thought process is different from most other people. “I’m not going to invest in something I don’t like; I have to believe in the product,” he says. Maybe thats the reason he has quietly gone ahead in investing in some innovative driven companies instead of buying high value stocks. The tech savvy pop star is quite focused on his investments and has a business manager and is constantly on calls every week with his lawyer and business manager. “Each week I’m learning something about my business and what I need to know for my career,” he said.

Scooter Braun, the man behind Justin’s fame and now his manager says, “We’re always looking for the next thing, If we’re coming in and putting his name to something, and his brand and likeness and his social media power, then we will try and figure out a proper compensation.” Scooter wants Justin to be involved in the investments as much as possible and encourages Justin Bieber to become a ‘mini mogul’. Justin takes a lot of inspiration from the legendary Michael Jackson who himself was a not only a talented artist who inspired generations in his time but who also had a good business sense in his armory.

According to Forbes, Fame is defined as “media visibility in print, television, radio and online, plus social media power, which we measure by looking at each celebrity’s presence on Facebook and Twitter. Thus we can say Justin Bieber rightfully deserves the 3rd spot behind Jennifer Lopez which leads the list with Oprah Winfrey on 2nd position. Rihanna and Lady Gaga followed Justin Bieber on 4th and 5th position respectively. Check out the complete list on Forbes website.

Timothy ‘Timbaland’ Mosley, one of the producers of Justin Bieber’s upcoming album ‘Believe’ has gone ahead even to say that Justin Bieber resembles an alien race. “You have humans, and you have aliens, I think he’s half-human and half-alien, ” he said. Well, being said that, we truly will be seeing maybe an alien avatar of Justin Bieber when he plays a cameo in Men in Black 3.

Fans of Justin now eagerly await the release of his upcoming album ‘Believe’ as well as announcements of Justin Bieber’s ‘Believe Tour.’ His newest hit single ‘Boyfriend’ has already opened up the doors of Bieber’s crucial step forward from a teen idol to an adult icon. “It’s not really a transition, it’s just opening doors,” he insists. “I’m trying to make music that’s a little bit more mature and that can appeal to all ages, and I’m not trying to lose my younger fans.”

Well done Justin Bieber, the venture capitalist! Here are some behind the scene moments of Justin Bieber’s cover shoot.

Justin Bieber and Usher have been together since many years and share a bonding which is a prime example of how a mentor-disciple relationship should evolve. Bieber, an ardent fan of Usher since his childhood spoke high of him in an interview for the Billboard magazine.

Infact Scooter Braun, manager of Justin Bieber spotted Justin on You Tube with covering Chris Brown’s ‘With You’. But as a matter of fact the now 18 year old pop icon shot to fame after Usher himself saw his talent later on. It was Usher who was instrumental in encouraging Scooter Braun to sign Bieber up without any hesitation. Justin exploded the pop scene genre with his first song with Usher ‘One More Time’, and since then has never looked back. Both have also sung the platinum hit song ‘Somebody To Love’ along with the song ‘First Dance’ and also seen together performing in numerous concerts.

Both Justin Bieber and Usher shared their experiences of being together in the interview. Speaking about his 33 year old mentor Justin said, “He takes me back to Michael Jackson, but also Fred Astaire and all these other people that I probably would’ve never looked up. And Usher’s always told me, ‘You need to work hard, but also play hard. Strive to be the best, but have fun doing it. What’s great is that in Usher, I have a mentor that’s been doing it so long and has been successful in everything that he’s done. He’s made some mistakes, too, but he’s learned from them, so he can tell me what to do and what not to do.”

The ‘Baby’ singer is always striving hard to give his fans as much information as he can through social media like Twitter. Being in touch with the fans has not only helped Justin grow an enormous fan base but it also helps him understand about what his fans would like him to do. Speaking in the interview Justin said, “I don’t want to lose my young fans, but I also want to mature and develop. I always keep one foot out of my comfort zone, trying new things and experimenting — if you don’t, people will get bored. Seeing the smiles on people’s faces and how I affect them when I perform makes me want to give them the absolute best experience they can possibly get.”

Usher too had praises for Justin. He added, “I’m happy that Justin knows that without me even saying that. You really do want to make sure that you bring along fans that have always been there, but make sure that you grow and chart new territory.”

Keeping up with his tweets, Justin has his fans on the edge of the seats all the time. His latest tweet was about the promise of more info about his forthcoming ‘Believe’ tour. He said: “#BELIEVEtour announcements this month…stay tuned.” And then added: “back to rehearsal”.

Justin Bieber in SNL's 100th Digital Short

This Saturday the 12th of May saw the famous sketch comedy show NBC’s Saturday Night Live celebrating its 100th digital short. The sleek fantastic compilation of The Lonely Island’s output, in addition to an incredible production feat to get all of those past participants back for another go around was simply outstanding. It was one Easter Egg after another, wonderfully weaved together as both celebration, deconstruction, and summation.

The clip had Justin Bieber posing as one of the masterminds of the well acclaimed digital shorts. The original masterminds of the digital shorts are Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone. Well Justin replaced Akiva Schaffer and was seen with Andy & Jorma welcoming all the other celebrities one by one.

The show saw a cameo from this week’s host Will Farrell and took us back to some memorable classic moments which included Justin Timberlake and Samberg’s ” … In a Box” and its follow-ups “Mother Lover” and “Threeway” with Lady Gaga, Bolton’s Capt, with Jack Sparrow spoofing and Hamm’s Sergio the Sax Man. Bieber’s mentor Usher too joined in the party.

The clip may be intended to portray a sweet and celebrative look, but SNL had its own way of showing it as the trip down the memory lane was showcased with the men giving a gymnastic performance of self-pleasure. Check the video for a better understanding.

Justin Bieber surely has his thing going after his crazy underpants show at the Wango Tango show at California, this was a performance which made its mark.

Justin Bieber had his die hard fans of California going crazy after he revealed his underpants onstage while performing. Justin Bieber’s underpants were entirely exposed as he bent down to greet his fans.

The Home Depot Center where the show took place is also the ground where LA Galaxy play football. But the crowds definitely aren’t used to this kind of a show. But needless to say, the screaaming fans of Justin Bieber were surely in for a treat with the pant show.

The ‘Boyfriend’ singer was greeted by an ear-piercing screaming crowd at the Carson arena when he came on to perform at 102.7 KIIS FM’s Wango Tango. Wearing a denim shirt with black pants and spotty black shoes Justin gave a sparkling performance.

In other news, Justin Bieber gave his mother Pattie Mallette a unique Mother’s Day gift which falls today on 13th May.

It’s about the struggles she went through and how brave she was, and I think the world needed to know that,” he said.

Justin also attached this noble deed with charity which he does best by giving away all the proceeds to the charity drive he has started for Bethesda Care Center, in London which helps take care of single moms. It is here where his mom Pattie was staying while pregnant. The Bethesda Care Centre needs is in danger of closing down & needs $1.5 million in order to remain open.

Justin Bieber With Mom Pattie Mallette

As Mother’s Day arrives this weekend, what a way teen heartthrob Justin Bieber has thought of gifting his mom Pattie Mallette! As reported by MTV news, Justin Bieber has released a brand new song called ‘Turn to You’, dedicating it to his mom. The song will reflect the hardships faced by Justin and his mother in their early days. “I wrote a song for my mom. But I’m going to put it out on Mother’s Day”, Justin told MTV News.

On the other hand, Pattie Mallette will also be releasing her own version of their life struggles soon in her memoir ““Nowhere But Up: The Story of Justin Bieber’s Mother.”” Will the song and the memoir have some similarities in their content? We shall soon find out.

Regarding the song, Justin had to say, “[It's] about the struggles, I say in the song. She had me at like the age I am now. [It's about] just the struggles she went through and how brave she was, and I think the world needed to know that.” The song release coincides well with Justin graduating high school just a couple of days back. Justin admitted that it was for his mom as she encouraged her to finish school. The song along with Justn’s graduation would definitely be a fitting gift this mother’s day for Pattie.

Tweeting about the release of the song, Justin wrote, “Help moms in need. Give them strength. Thank u mom.” Justin plans to take it further by doing some charity as well. All the sales proceeds shall be donated to a noble cause that helps single mothers. On this Bieber tweeted, The song I wrote for my mom #TurnToYou hits ITUNES this Friday for Mother’s Day Weekend.

We are proud of you Pattie for raising such a talented kid. Happy Mother’s Day! Justin has made it special for you this year.

Ying Yang Twins

Ying Yang Twins’ famous track ‘Wait (The Whisper Song)’ was compared by many to be the inspiration to Justin Bieber’s hit single ‘Boyfriend’. The similarity was drawn with regards to the songs tempo, the lyrical delivery by Justin as well as its production. The single also had a low key vibe to make both the songs very much alike.

Well, after the hugely success single ‘Boyfriend’, the Ying Yang Twins on Wednesday came up with a remixed version of the same. Maybe it was kind of a tribute of returning the favor to the 18 year old. The remix starts off with “Ying Yang and Justin Bieber, oh!” and carry on with the lyrics of ‘Boyfriend’.

The original song, co-written and produced by Mike Posner & Mason Levy has brought about a new era of Justin Bieber’s music as he showcases some mature lyrics and a different music style altogether. This perfectly suits the now 18 year old rising star and will help him a long way as he prepares himeself for giving his fans the brand new album ‘Believe’ on June 19th.

Before Justin comes in with his version in the remix, the Twins do their rap, “I don’t wanna be your boyfriend, I wanna be your man/ He a little-bitty boy, I’m a grown man/ I can take you overseas, a harmless breeze/ Then you and me can have sex on the beach/ I bet you ain’t never met someone like me/ I’m the broom, you the dust pan/ Sweep you off your feet/ You can be my woman, I can be your man/ If you got a little sister, Justin Bieber want to be her boyfriend.”

The lyrics of the Ying Yang Twins version matches quite closely to the original ‘Boyfriend’ lyrics which also emphasizes o travelling around the world. Although there are no references to fondue or Buzz Lightyear references this time around.

The music video of ‘Boyfriend’ already saw a record breaking opening in terms of number of views on You Tube. The video showcases some cool dance moves by Justin Bieber along with his passion for muscle cars as well. Bieber also performed the hit single live for the first time on the music talent show ‘The Voice’ Season 2 finale.

In an interview with MTV news, when Justin was asked why he chose ‘Boyfriend’?, Justin said,” I just thought it was like, of all the songs I had at that time, it was the song that most repped me at the time and [that] I wanted to put out there and what I wanted people to hear and the type of new fresh sound that I wanted to hear, I thought that that was a perfect first single to come out with.”

We expect many more remixes to follow soon. Lets hope this particular one is taken well by the fans of Justin Bieber.

Justin Bieber once again made his presence felt in the music talent show ‘The Voice’ after he gave an energetic performance of his latest hit single ‘Boyfriend’ live for the first time ever. A few weeks earlier on the same show Bieber had agreed to perform live on the talent show and he did not disappoint his fans. The show saw talented singer Jermaine Paul win the second season. But Justin Bieber’s swags with the mature lyrics before the announcement made the show even more special. the performance was well matched with the attire he wore, gold boots with a gold studded leather jacket and black pants. In front of a screaming wave of girl fans, Bieber hit the stage accompanied by a dazzling light show along with hot dancer babes.

The music video of ‘Boyfriend’ released last week & shattered You Tube records for the most number of single-day views. ‘Boyfriend’ is the single release from Justin Bieber’s upcoming album ‘Believe’ which releases June 19th.

Earlier on Tuesday, the 18 year old did notify all his fans through Twitter about the big day. the tweet said, “BIG DAY TODAY. Performing #BOYFRIEND for the first time Live on the FINALE of @NBCTheVoice.”

Apart from Justin Bieber, the show also had other music artists performing. The show opened with Flo Rida & Juliet Simms performing ‘Whistle’ & ‘Wild One’ in rendition. They were followed by Hall & Oates who performed “Rich Girl” after which Lady Antellum performed ‘Wanted You More’.

Needless to say, the closing performance of Justin Bieber dominated the entire evening. Watch the dazzling performance below.

Justin Bieber With Mom Pattie Mallette

After being the idol for millions of fans, Justin Bieber has achieved yet another feat. Yes, he passed his high school. Well, we say its a feat as its not easy to be working as hard as Bieber does and then along with that do school as well. Yet another time we see Justin’s love for his mom Pattie Mallette as after passing out he openly spoke that it was for his mom that he did this. After the amount of fame Justin has earned already, he could well retire and the fortunes which he has earned could last his lifetime. But at the request of his single mother Pattie Mallete, Justin agreed and made sure he had a backup plan by completing high school.

‘I just finished high school. I passed my test – I’m free! It was hard doing school and work every day,’ said Bieber. He also added, ‘School was something my mom really wanted me to do, so I had to do it for her.’

Speaking of his current lifestyle of work with studies, the 18 year old said, ‘I mean, this kind of lifestyle has given me a different perspective on life. I’ve been able to travel the world. At school, usually you have to do a lot of writing and reading. I’m really not into that stuff. I like to be out there!’

It must have been a challenge for Justin to cope up with studies along with touring the planet and performing shows. Still he is now delighted that he is free of his studies.

Speaking to Australia’s Daily Telegraph newspaper Justin said, ‘Here’s the thing, I’m my own person. I don’t make my decisions based around what people are going to think of me.
‘I make them based on what I want to do and who I think I want to be. If none of this was happening, if there were no cameras around me, that’s the kind of person I’d want to be – a good person.’

Justin Bieber’s dad Jeremy Bieber is still quite close to him and has 2 other children from another woman after Justin’s birth. He had left Pattie 10 months after Justin was born. Pattie Mallette on the other hand will soon be releasing her memoir ‘Nowhere But Up: The Story of Justin Bieber’s Mom. The memoir will reveal her struggles with poverty wwhich she has gone through in her life including a suicide attempt when she was 17 years old. It will also reveal some family secrets, her teen pregnancy as well as drug and alcohol abuse. Her woes have finally over as her son Justin now has the world under his feet.

Congrats Justin, now you are talented and well educated. Three cheers for Justin.
