Ariana Grande is already buzzing hard, but the singing sensation is going to rocket into the stratosphere when she tours with Justin Bieber. What do we mean “when” she tours with JB? Well, it’s going to happen, according to someone with direct knowledge, and the source is beyond reliable.

Biebs’ manager Scooter Braun, who is open and communicative with Beliebers, revealed that Grande, who he also manages, will soon hit the road with JB. So thats pretty much from the horse’s mouth.

While chatting with a fan that compared Grande to a young Mariah Carey — they wrote “Maria” but we know exactly who they meant- Braun responded affirmatively to the suggestion that Grande needs to open for the Biebs by saying, “She willl.”

The screenshot of the conversation was tweeted is below. Simple, but we got the message

So there you have it. You will be seeing more of Ariana Grande in the near future and riding sidecar with the Biebs while he is on the road. These are two pop music forces that will combine and collide.

Mila — Wed, 08 May 2013 11:07:24 +0000

Justin Bieber’s accomplished a lot in his young life — platinum records, international tours, a mantle full of awards — but none of that compares to his latest achievement: a visit to Springfield to hang with The Simpsons.

Bieber recorded a voice-over for the longstanding cartoon last year, and it’s finally being used for this Sunday’s episode. Naturally, he’ll be playing himself as he “tries to get into a talent show that Bart is Playing piano in, and they won’t admit him,” says producer Al Jean.

Entertainment Weekly debuted the first image of Bieber all Simpson-ified, which you can see below.

will.i.am has heaped praise on Justin Bieber describing him as a “great talent” but also admits that it was a struggle getting the singer to appear in the video for their new single as he has been performing on his ‘Believe’ tour for several months.

In the video, Justin appears as a hologram while will.i.am and his entourage are seen attempting to activate a mysterious box of light.

In an interview with ET Online, The Voice coach explained that fitting in filming the video with the 19-year-old’s manic schedule was often a challenge.

He explained: “Justin’s on tour. It was tough to get this video [done].

“I had to fly to Barcelona to shoot Justin Bieber then flew to Japan to work with Rio and the boys on the choreography for it. So it was a lot of trekking.”

The ‘Scream and Shout’ hitmaker has spoken out in defence of the young star saying: “Justin is a great talent.

Of all the people I have worked with over the past five years he is one of the best.”

Will recently released his new album #willpower which peaked at number three on the UK album charts.

Get an exclusive peek at Justin Bieber’s ‘Believe’ movie

Mila — Wed, 08 May 2013 08:53:16 +0000

In the sequence, filmed in downtown Los Angeles last summer, Justin Bieber appears in a characteristically swaggy black suit, running through a grimy warehouse. At every turn, he’s besieged by camera-wielding commandos – ninja-like paparazzi – who pop out of the woodwork to photograph the teen pop phenom’s every move.

While his song “She Don’t Like the Lights” (from the deluxe edition of Bieber’s smash 2012 album “Believe”) plays in the background, the singer is shown handing out beat-downs, dispatching the paps with acrobatic kicks to the head.

“The song itself is about someone who he’s dating who doesn’t like the lights – it just evolved from there,” explained director Jon Chu, seated in a West L.A. editing bay where he screened the footage from Bieber’s upcoming movie “Justin Bieber: Believe” exclusively for Pop & Hiss. “We thought it’d be fun to have a secret service team – a special-ops unit – going after him with cameras.”

Given Bieber’s recent run-ins with real-life paparazzi and his ceaseless scrutiny in the celebrity press, one would be forgiven for reading more than a little bit of wish fulfillment into the scene. In March in London, in a case of life imitating art gone comically wrong, Bieber reportedly attempted to physically confront photographers – apparently leaping out of a van shouting, “I’ll beat the … out of you!” — only to be restrained by bodyguards.

“I don’t envy that position in any way,” Chu said of Bieber’s superstardom. “I understand where the paparazzi is coming from and where he’s coming from. It’s a hard place to be: in the middle.”

Chu has a unique perspective on Bieber’s ability to navigate the fame game. The director made headlines in March with his action-adventure hit “G.I. Joe: Retaliation” but earned his stripes as a feature filmmaker in part by directing the hit 3-D rockumentary “Justin Bieber: Never Say Never,” which reaped nearly $100 million in worldwide box-office revenue in 2011.

That film chronicles Bieber’s “underdog story” – his humble origins as a pint-sized musical striver from middle-of-nowhere Canada with just a dream and a set of naturally photogenic cheekbones – while following his 2010 “My World Tour,” leading up to the teen singer’s biggest concert appearance to date at Madison Square Garden.

While the new movie, shot in Miami in January, was initially intended as a chronicle of Bieber’s 2012-13 “Believe Tour,” it has evolved to include choreographed, non-documentary sequences as well as revealing behind the scenes footage. For Beliebers, however, “Believe’s” chief draw may be its glimpse of the artist at work in song-writing mode at a transitional time when the 19-year-old is attempting to move into a more mature career phase.

“It started as just a concert movie but we’ve got so many other things now,” Chu said. “We have footage of him writing the first song for his next album on a piece of paper with a pencil. Blank page, erasing, writing. That’s where it starts.”

“You get to see the creative process of making songs under this kind of pressure. Getting producers, writing some things, throwing some things out. Choosing the first single, going into your album. And then once you do that, you’ve got to put on a show,” he continued.

The “Believe” movie does not yet have a distributor, although Chu, Bieber and his manager Scooter Braun are aiming for a run in theaters. “We haven’t figured it out. We did it independently: me, Scooter and Justin, we own the footage,” Chu said. “We’re cutting it and we’re going to see who wants it – maybe it’s a pay per view or maybe direct to DVD.”

The director took a moment to differentiate between “Believe” and “Never Say Never,” adding: “It’s almost about a boy becoming an artist rather than a boy’s life. Because his artistry is his life now.”

Justin Bieber Wins Fan Choice Award At 2013 Juno Awards

Mila — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 08:46:36 +0000

Note to all future award shows: if you nominate Justin Bieber for an award determined by fan voting, he will win it. The Beliebers (all 37 million of them) proved that once again when Justin won the Fan Choice Award at the 2013 Juno Awards.

The Biebs was up against fellow artists with considerably large fan bases like Drake, Celine Dion, and Carly Rae Jepsen, but they were really no match for him.

Overall, Justin went one for four at the Juno Awards, which honors members of the Canadian music industry. He was obviously the fan’s choice, but he couldn’t bring in the awards for Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, and Pop Album of the Year. Still a solid night for the Biebs though!

Justin couldn’t be there to accept the Fan Choice Award — he was in Copenhagen, Denmark at a stop on his “Believe” tour — but he sent out his gratitude on Twitter: “WE won the#JUNOFanChoice award!! This one is about the fans. My #beliebers . So this is ours. Thanks.#grateful . Love u,” he tweeted.
