Could Justin Bieber’s ‘Never Say Never’ Get a Best Doc Oscar Nomination?

It may sound like a crazy notion, but Bieber fever has apparently grabbed hold of Hollywood’s upper crust. According to a source, The King’s Speech and The Fighter weren’t the only pictures being buzzed about at post-Oscar soirees like the Vanity Fair party. Never Say Never, the Biebs’ $63 million grossing documentary and 3D concert film, had impressed its share of Academy members also.

“You’d be surprised at the caliber of people who came up to Justin at the Vanity Fair party at the Sunset Tower, most of whom had seen the movie [Never Say Never] and loved it,” says an insider. “There was even talk of putting it up for an Oscar next year in the documentary category. People appreciate that it’s not just a kids’ movie.” (THR’s Bill Higgins also noted Bieber was the star who awed the other stars at the Vanity Fair bash. The young singer would chat with someone and the buzz would immediately be: “What is Mick Jagger talking to Justin Bieber about?”)

Indeed, when it comes to a future in film, Tom Hanks reportedly offered his own advice to Bieber, telling the 17-year-old pop phenom, “Don't become a jaded professional actor” and “good luck to you.”

Bieber, director Jon Chu and Paramount Studios can rest easy for now. The deadline for submission to the Academy Awards is typically scheduled for early December, at least nine months away. On the other hand, some might say it's never too early for an Oscar campaign.

HollywoodLife.com Exclusive: Ryan Good Tells Us How He Became Justin Bieber’s ‘Swagger Coach!’

Justin Bieber always looks fly, but it doesn't come without help. Meet the man behind the Biebs' hot style, Ryan Good!

Justin Bieber didn’t just develop his swagger out of thin air! It came with some help from his talented, down-to-earth stylist, Ryan GoodHollywoodLife.com had the opportunity to chat with the man behind the swagger about how he became one of Justin’s most trusted confidants, the advice he gives the Biebs when it comes to girls (it worked with Selena Gomez!) and where he sees his “little brother”’s style evolving.
HL: Ryan, your official title is “road manager” but your job entails much more than that. Can you explain to us what you do on a day to day basis while traveling with Justin’s camp?
RG: I’m Justin’s stylist so I basically work with him to decide on what gear, etc. he wears. I’ve worn a lot of hats on the road with him over the past few years with none being more important than big brother.
HL: You were Usher’s assistant, how did that job differ from this?
RG: Haha. I was actually, and Usher will tell you the same, a terrible assistant. I made the transition to stylist when usher told me he admired my personal style and taste in clothing. He actually called me with the idea that I’d be a perfect fit in helping develop Justin as an artist.
HL: Where are you from, and how did you get in this game in the first place?
RG: I’m from Jupiter, Flor. I don’t know. I’m very blessed to be in the position I’m in. I’m just a beach boy from Florida who worked really hard and had some luck.
HL: Do you give Justin advice on girls? What kind of advice do you give him?
RG: I just tell him to be himself and never be afraid to laugh at yourself.
HL: How do you help Justin stay grounded and not get big headed?
RG: He’s got a few people around him that have his best interest always. The most important thing, way ahead of success, is that he continues to evolve into man of integrity.
HL: How can we expect Justin’s style/attitude to evolve?
RG: I think like any person, his tastes and personal style will evolve as he’s exposed to different things and as his music evolves.
HL: How did the swagger coach thing start?
RG: Haha. It was a joke between me and JB that I guess was something we could laugh at. Its funny how people took it as something real as ridiculous as it sounds. Haha. Clearly, I’m not cool enough to take on a position of that stature. Haha.

Watch Usher’s Duet With Justin Bieber For His 17th Birthday!

Justin Bieber Lands Two Albums In Billboard Top Five

The feat marks the first time this accomplishment has been achieved since last year, when Bieber also had two albums in the top five.
Justin Bieber has become such a musical sales force that now the only competition left is, well, Justin Bieber. After landing the #1 album last week with his Never Say Never - The Remixes, Bieber had to settle for #2 this week to make room for Adele's 21. But the rush of attention on the now-17-year-old pop star thanks to his big-screen debut in "Justin Bieber: Never Say Never" helped propel his nearly year-old My World 2.0 back into the top five at #5, a feat that Billboard Associate Director of Charts Keith Caulfield said was a "very big deal."

In fact, Bieber is the first artist to have two albums in the top five at the same time since he achieved the same feat nearly a year ago. The last time it happened was in March of 2010 when 2.0 debuted at #1 while the singer's debut, My World, was at #5. Caulfield said that before that, it hadn't happened since October 2004 when rapper Nelly's simultaneous album release of Sweat and Suit both crashed the top five at #1 and #2.

If you go back to the last artist to do it without releasing two new albums at the same time, you have to look to May 2003, when 50 Cent's Get Rich or Die Tryin' was at #5 and his The New Breed CD/DVD debuted at #2.

"Any way you look at it, it's unusual," said Caulfield, noting that even with all their success on the charts lately, not even Lady Gaga or Taylor Swift have notched that achievement. "It helps that you have four Bieber albums to choose from on the charts right now."

Justin Bieber Apologizes to Fans for Giving the Finger

Justin Bieber took to Twitter to apologize to his fans for giving the paparazzi the finger.

Bieber gave photographers the middle finger as he and his girlfriend Selena Gomez were leaving Maggiano's after celebrating his 17th birthday at the restaurant on March 1. He admitted to losing his temper and regretted his actions.

Bieber tweeted, "had a great bday and at the end of the night we got surrounded by paps and i reacted in a way i know better. im sorry #killthemwithkindness."

He continued, "it's not always easy but i know better than to react in anger."

On a happier note, he gave thanks to his fans for making his birthday wish come true. "On a better note i need to say THANK U to my fans. we raised over 40k for @charitywater for my bday. we together #madeachange."

Bieber had urged fans to donate at least $17 to the Charity: Water foundation, which provides clean water to those in need. Bieber has already helped raise more than $44,000 (and growing), which surpassed the $17,000 campaign goal.

And in more charity news, Bieber's hair sold on eBay yesterday for $40,688.

Bieber, who cut his hair last week, wanted to use his locks to help raise money for charity and shared them with Ellen DeGeneres just one day after cut.

DeGeneres put the locks up on eBay, and within the first hour, Bieber's hairs were already up to $10,000 in bids. The auction ended yesterday and helped raise $40,688 for the Gentle Barn, an animal rescue organization in Santa Clarita, Calif., which was chosen by DeGeneres.

Beware Of Bieber, Facebook Users!

Don't be fooled! If you see the following post on Facebook, DON'T CLICK IT:
"I can't believe a GIRL did this because of Justin Bieber."

The link will bring you to a fake page that says "Please Watch this video only if you are 16 years or older." If you click that, you'll automatically "like" the page, and the fake post will be posted on your Facebook page.

Oh, AND you'll be asked to do a survey. How annoying is that?

Guess Bieber fans must have REALLY wanted to see that video, because it's already gotten 20,000 likes.

Sounds like the scam has been stopped by now, but be wary if Bieber shows up on your Facebook page.

Justin Bieber Fearful of Fan 'Crushes'

Justin Bieber can no longer perform at concert venues without seats for fear of fans being seriously injured.

Rabid Bieber fans have forced the 'Never Say Never' singer's management to put their foot down and refuse to book the star at any arenas or other venues with standing-room only space.

Bieber's bodyguard, Kenneth Hamilton, recently told Rolling Stone that he fears for some of the young fans' safety, saying "You've got a mob pushing, and even if it's little girls, they're crawling on top of each other with their arms and elbows, and getting injured."

Safety and security issues regarding fans' 'fever' for Bieber have been an issue for quite some time. Last April, a Bieber concert in Sydney was cancelled after fans broke down a crowd barrier and stampeded forward, crushing young fans against the stage.

In December, Bieber had to stop a fan fight in Pittsburgh, after several girls fought over a towel he threw into the audience.

Bieber has even had his own brushes with fans and had to escape on a segway from a mob of girls chasing him before a concert last summer in Glendale, Ariz. Most recently, over-zealous fans became frantic, even sending death threats, when Grammy winner Esperanza Spalding beat out Bieber in the Best New Artist category. His rumored girlfriend, singer Selena Gomez, has also received similar threats from fans via Twitter.

The new restriction may also put an end to some of Bieber's smaller appearances, including CD signings, which the artist has cancelled in the past for security reasons.

Management has reportedly confirmed all seated venues for Bieber's upcoming My World tour in Europe, which kicks off in the UK on March 4.

Happy Anniversary To Justin Bieber’s Song “Never Let You Go”

Below you can listen to the song and check out the music video. Then, in the comments section let us know if this is one of your favorite songs from Justin, or, what your top three songs from the rising pop star are!
Happy Anniversary to “Never Let You Go”!

Did Justin Bieber Cut His Hair For Selena Gomez?

Selena Gomez did an interview in late 2010 with Radio Disney in which she talked about Justin Bieber’s hair and how annoying it was when he would flip his Bieber Swoosh during their conversation. She says in the interview that she would love to cut his hair so that he would stop flipping it!
Do you think that Selena is the reason that Justin has chopped off his hair into a much shorter ‘do? Now that the couple has taken their relationship public it makes us wonder if Justin wasn’t just cutting his hair to change it up for himself like he has said, but rather he may have been showing his devotion to his new girlfriend by doing something he knew would make her happy!
