Justin Bieber’s Crew Refuse To Go To Japan For Scheduled Concerts

Justin Bieber is scheduled to perform two concerts in Japan later this month, one in Osaka and another in Tokyo.

But his crew is refusing to go because they’re afraid of possible cancer risks from the recent nuclear disaster.  And of course, they also fear that there will be another earthquake.

TMZ reports that The Biebs’ manager, Scooter Braun, is so pissed off, he went off at the crew and told them: “Man the f**k up and do the right thing by these kids.”
But the crew is adamant against going, citing that Avril Lavigne and Slash had also canceled their Japan concerts.
So, as of this moment, the concerts are definitely in jeopardy. Stay tuned!

Guess who’s coming to America? I know, the picture is a dead giveaway! Oh and I guess the title too.

No itinerary is made available yet but they will definitely stop in California July 8-10.  
Oh Canada! Don’t feel left out – they will visit your land first from June 30 – July 8.

Johnny Depp: “My Kids Idolize Iron Man More Than Jack Sparrow!”

Imagine being a kid and your dad being Johnny Depp – how friggin’ cool would that be? Captain Jack Sparrow himself! But apparently, that’s not as cool as having Iron Man as your father.

Depp recently sat down with Extra to chat up his upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and out came the news that his kids idolize Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man more than they do Depp’s role as Jack Sparrow.
Depp said, “Bob Downey, we’ve known one another for a million years. He and his wife came over for dinner and my son just couldn’t believe that he was sitting next to Iron Man, so I saw Captain Jack leave my son’s eyes and Iron Man was the ticket.” Continue reading →

Hines Ward Handcuffed At Gunpoint- But Released!

TMZ reports that Hines Ward, Pittsburgh Steelers star wide receiver and Dancing With the Stars contestant, was a passenger in a car which was pulled over by police in Los Angeles early this morning around 2 am.

That’s not the only newsworthy part. Apparently, the owner of the car who was in the car had reported the car stolen mistakenly so once the police pulled them over, they also drew their weapons and handcuffed Ward and the woman.

The woman later said she had reported the car stolen after an incident involving a valet, then somehow forgot to call the police back and retract her report.

Once the misstep was verified, Hines was released. Here is what Hines has to say about the whole thing on his Facebook page:

“The incident in the news that involved me getting pulled over. I want everyone to know that this was a complete misunderstanding. The police were just doing their job. Apologies were made and it’s now in the past. Moving forward… Hines”

Video: Haley Reinhart’s Star Rises & Is Named Best Performance Of The Night

Haley Reinhart nailed her performance of The House of the Rising Sun by The Animals.

This was Haley’s second song for the night and it was the kind of performance which can catapult a contestant to stardom on American Idol. 
Haley’s performance on May 2nd was so outstanding that Randy Jackson said, “The award tonight for the best performance of the night goes to Haley!”

This was a great come back for her after being less than stellar on her first song of the night, a rendition of the not-yet released You and I by Lady Gaga.

James Durbin Loses It On Stage – And Brings Us All To Tears

On Wednesday (5/4) night’s American Idol, James Durbin showed us that he is a rocker–but one with a soft, tender heart.

While listening to the lyrics of Without You as performed by Harry Nillson, tears rolled down James’ face and he simply broke down. He later said he is on the show to make a better life for his family and he gets extremely sad when his family comes to briefly visit him but has to leave to allow him to work on reaching his goal and dreams.

James was again moved to tears and overcame with emotion during his live performance. Here is what the judges had to say:

Randy Jackson: “As Steven and Jennifer will attest to, this is a mark of truly a great performer. I could feel your emotion as we started, as we were watching the package, and you thinking about your family and the journey that you’re on here and I tell you man, just fighting back through the emotions, for you to give a vocal like you gave, no, it wasn’t perfect, but it was emotionally perfect…I’m telling you right now, this competition is yours to lose.”

Steven Tyler: “James man, when you sing as good as you do and you can let a song get the best of you. That’s crazy time, that’s a beautiful thing. That’s as beautiful as it gets. I loved that. Pitchy at times in a strange James Durbin kinda way. Your emotions were incredible.”

Jennifer Lopez: “That’s the thing with you. Everyone knows you can sing. You’re not just the guy that can wail right into the stratosphere. You have the heart and soul to back it up. You are an artist. You are a true true artist. He’s amazing you guys. Amazing.”

Scotty McCreery gave my favorite performance of his this season on Wednesday (5/4) night’s American Idol.

His rendition of Gone by Mongomery Gentry brought the entire studio to their feet. Way to go Scotty!

Here is what the judges said:

Steven Tyler: “Scotty my man, you know [studio audience cheering loudly with a standing O] that’s what America thinks. Up until now, you’ve been a Puritan, but I swear to God I saw you dance with the devil tonight! And that’s a good thing for you. That was really beautiful. It showed a whole new side of you.”

Jennifer Lopez: “I lost it there for a second I was so excited. You just owned that stage. I heard some growling in there too. I liked it. That is some American Idol stuff right there. That’s it baby!”

Randy Jackson: “Steven Tyler, I don’t know about this dancing with the devil thing. I don’t want you to do that right now. I felt like we were sitting there concert Scotty. Who knew you could rock the stage like that. This guy is in it to win it too!”

Lauren Alaina rocked the house on American Idol Wednesday (5/4) night with her performance of Flat on the Floor by Carrie Underwood.

Here is what the judges had to say:

Steven Tyler: “The way you sing, the way you found your niche, it’s as good as it gets. The sky is the limit. I think you’re it.”

Jennifer Lopez: “That’s what I like to see. That’s what we’ve been pushing for you. And you ate that up.”

Randy Jackson: “That is the direction for you! I love you showing this fun side, energetic side. I thought it was amazing! Lauren is in it y’all.”
