Demi Lovato is officially single

Demi Lovato is not dating anyone at the moment, at least not seriously. Her ex boyfriend, Wilmer Valderrama recently said that he was single and not dating anyone, which means Demi (who was rumored to be back with him) is also single.
This gives hope that Demi could reconnect with Joe Jonas, which fans would love! At the same time, the singer/actress is really focused on her health, and has been doing a great job keeping herself positive since leaving rehab back in January. She is only 18-years-old and there really isn't any need for her to rush in to a serious relationship. When the time is right and Demi feels like she wants to date someone, she will.

It was never confirmed that Demi and Wilmer reconnected, but it was assumed. They were spotted together back in February, sparking rumors that Wilmer was her knight in shining armor after she left rehab. The truth is that they were probably just hanging out as friends and they never reconnected romantically.

Keracunan Makanan, Selena Gomez Dilarikan Ke Rumah Sakit

Showbiz News Mon, 13 Jun 2011 10:08:00 WIB

Selena Gomez mengagetkan ribuan pengikutnya di Twitter. Minggu lalu, aktris Wizards of Waverly Place itu dilarikan ke rumah sakit di Los Angeles. Berbagai spekulasi pun bermunculan, mulai dari isu kehamilan, keracunan makanan sampai kelelahan akut. Terlepas dari gosip-gosip terlepas, mari kita doakan Selena semoga cepat sembuh.

Musibah yang dialami Selena berawal usai penampilannya di The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Kamis (9/6) lalu. Setelah tampil di acara bincang-bincang terkenal itu, bintang film Monte Carlo itu merasa mual dan mengeluhkan kepalanya yang terasa sangat sakit. Ia pun segera dilarikan ke rumah sakit untuk mendapatkan perawatan.

Tiidak lama kemudian, berita dibawanya Selena ke rumah sakit segera mendapatkan konfirmasi dari perwakilannya.

"Tadi malam setelah penampilan Selena di The Tonight Show dia merasa tidak enak badan dan telah dibawa ke rumah sakit. Saat ini dia sedang menjalani tes rutin." demikian bunyi surat pernyataan yang dilansir perwakilannya untuk kalangan media, seperti yang CyberTainment lansir dari Aceshowbiz.

Beberapa saat setelah surat pernyataan tersebut dikeluarkan, perwakilannya kembali meng-update berita terbaru tentang Selena. Sahabat Demi Lovato itu dinyatakan sedang dalam perawatan dan kondisinya baik-baik saja. Fiuh, alhamdulillah.

Walau belum ada konfirmasi yang jelas mengenai apa yang menyebabkan Selena dirawat di rumah sakit, media-media sana sudah ribut berspekulasi. Sebagian besar menaruh kecurigaan bahwa penyanyi muda yang baru saja merilis album baru itu keracunan makanan. Isu kelelahan akut pun berkumandang, bersamaan dengan isu yang lebih keterlaluan lagi, yaitu kehamilan -- yang dilontarkan oleh siapa lagi kalau bukan TMZ.  Bersamaan dengan isu kehamilan yang dituduhkannya, TMZ juga melaporkan bahwa meski dokter belum menentukan penyebab keluhan Selena, gadis cantik itu sudah menjalani serangkaian tes untuk isu tekanan darah.

Tidak butuh waktu lama bagi Selena untuk keluar dari rumah sakit. Sabtu (11/6) yang lalu, aktris muda berambut coklat ini pun sudah tertangkap kamera para juru foto. Isu keracunan makanan dan kelelahan mengemuka lagi, melihat betapa pucat wajah Selena yang memang tampak capek. Kalau sudah begitu, tampaknya Selena membutuhkan istirahat total. Padahal sebenarnya, Senin (13/6) ini, ia sudah dijadwalkan untuk memulai rangkaian tur promosinya dari Santa Monica Place.

Oya, tidak afdol membahas Selena kalau tidak menyinggung Justin Bieber. Merespon musibah yang menimpa kekasihnya, apa komentar pelantun Baby itu? Tidak lain sebuah tweet sederhana yang manis. "#getwellselena" yang dipostingnya Jumat lalu.

Ya, get well soon, Selena.

Demi Lovato Confirms Selena Gomez Was Always By Her Side

June 20, 2011 10:20 pm


Demi and Selena
Demi Lovato. and Selena Gomez. fans everywhere were heart broken when the girls had a falling out. For close to a year the 2 girls ignored each other, but once Demi sought help-the 2 made up. Now fans of the 2 still have questions for them, even though both have stated that they were always friends.
A fan recently asked Demi if Selena was always there. The fan seemed concerned that their friendship wasn’t as perfect as everybody hoped. But Demi quickly shot back a yes, confirming that Selena never really left Demi. Thus was once again agreeing with Demi’s earlier comments that it was her who pushed Selena away.
It now appears that both girls are back to being friends, which is great for both of them. I would love to see those 2 do more things together or work some more with each other. They make a great duo and I think they both need that moral support right now. After all, Selena is dealing with drama about her career and Justin. And in a lot of ways, Demi is still recovering. They grew up together, I would think it would be tough to say goodbye and never talk again would be nearly impossible.

Joe Jonas Is Open To Camp Rock 3, Hope Demi Lovato Would Be

 June 24, 2011 8:14 am


Camp Rock 2
Demi Lovato and the Jonas Brothers may be only starting to correct their problems, but Joe Jonas still has hope for a third Camp Rock film. The previous 2 did so well and allowed Disney to leave room for other possible outcomes, has caused many fans hoping for a third installment.
During a recent interview, Joe was asked about that possibility of a third Camp Rock film. Joe stated that he would be willing to do a third installment. Yet he did not say if they ever had any talks of that ever happening, nor did he ever deny any related chat sessions. Thus leaving the whole world open to the idea of a third film.
I am not sure how Demi would feel about this, but she may be okay with it. It would be interesting to find out at least from her, about her thoughts on the rumor. At least if we had an idea about Demi’s feelings to see if this is even possible. Then again, all the stars may be okay for it-but Disney might find it to much of a risk? I guess we should all sort of set aside that goal for now and focus on being healthy with ourselves and others first.

Joe’s brother Nick has nothing but good words for Joe’s upcoming solo project. He told Billboard: I’m really proud of him because he really took his time on this from an artist’s perspective. He does a beautiful job of making it just as good a song as it is a story. The whole record, as a piece of art, is brilliant.”
The album's first single "See No More," which was co-written by Chris Brown, was released Friday, June 3.
Jonas, who grew up in Wyckoff, formed the Jonas Brothers with his brothers Nick and Kevin in 2005. Buddytv.com reports the group has seen three albums top the Billboard charts, and they won Best Group at the 2008 Nickelodeon’s Kid Choice Awards.
Joe Jonas has also kept quite busy in his personal life. Since 2006, he has been linked to AJ Michalka of pop-duo 78violet , country pop singer Taylor Swift, actress Camilla Belle, Demi Lovato and "Twilight" star Ashley Greene.

In the interview with the magazine, the middle Jonas Brother talks about going solo and his debut album, 'Fastlife', set to be released in September, but also about living on his own, and being compared to Justin Timberlake.

Joe Jonas looks sexy and sharp in a Neil Barrett tuxedo, shirt, and bow tie for the summer music issue of Paper Mag. The 21-year-old heartthrob talks to the magazine about his fascination with the work of Banksy and Mr. Brainwash, his first solo album titled 'Fastlife' and the inspiration behind it, leaving the Jonas Brothers, but also being compared to Justin Timberlake, and the night Joe almost fell into a life of crime when he and his friends almost stole an Invader piece from its perch outside of a Melrose Avenue building.
"We didn't take it, though, since we figured if we got caught the cops might think we were the ones who put it up," Joe told Paper Mag.

On embarking on a solo career and leaving behind the Jonas Brothers, Joe said in the interview with the magazine that Nick and Kevin's support is a great thing that keeps him optimistic. "My brothers and I, we're like each other's best friends, and I think it's that foundation that makes me feel like I can really do this on my own for a second."

Joe Jonas Jatuh Cinta Pada Britney Spears

Entertainment * / Jumat, 17 Juni 2011 19:18 WIB
Dengan sosoknya yang cantik dan bertubuh indah, juga kualitas musik yang dipersembahkannya, tak bisa dipungkiri jika banyak pria 'tertarik' pada Britney Spears. Salah satunya adalah Joe Jonas, yang mengaku jatuh cinta pada Britney!

Di sela-sela promosi single pertama album solonya, See No More, Joe mengaku bahwa dirinya jatuh cinta pada mantan bintang remaja yang sekarang telah menjadi ibu dua putra ini. Bahkan, Joe sempat memohon agar dirinya turut serta dalam tur dunia Britney.

"CD pertama yang kubeli adalah Britney. Ini adalah albumnya dan ketika sudah kupilih, tentu saja aku jatuh cinta padanya. Aku benar-benar 'naksir' dia," aku salah satu personil Jonas Brothers ini.

Tapi, seberapa serius sih cinta Jonas pada Britney? Saking ngefansnya, Joe mengaku memasang poster Britney di kamarnya. "(Posternya) yang bergambar Britney yang tampil lugu, dia memakai kaus warna pink," ujarnya.

Oleh karena ketertarikan ini, Joe pun menyatakan bahwa pihaknya sudah melayangkan permohonan agar bisa bergabung dengan tur Britney, yang sayangnya ditolak. "Kami sudah mempertimbangkan hal ini, tapi mereka bilang mereka ingin tur 'khusus wanita', yang cukup bisa dimengerti, dan Nicki Minaj akan mengagumkan," pungkas Joe.(kpl/DNI)

Dampak Badai Matahari Bagi Manusia dan Bumi

Fenomena alam Badai matahari (flare) ternyata bukan cerita fiksi belaka seperti yang digambarkan beberapa film. Badai Matahari adalah fenomena alam nyata yang telah terjadi di masa lalu dan diperkirakan terjadi di masa datang. Beberapa ahli memperkirakan Badai Matahari akan terjadi antara tahun 2012-2015. Namun, sangat mungkin hal tersebut terjadi tidak seheboh yang serti diduga sebelumnya.
Beberapa laporan para ahli memperkirakan puncak aktivitas matahari akan terjadi antara 2012 hingga 2015. Pada puncak siklusnya, aktivitas matahari akan tinggi dan terjadi badai matahari.
Berdasar penelitian National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), yang disponsori lembaga antasariksa Amerika Serikat, NASA, badai matahari terjadi ketika muncul flare atau ledakan besar di atmosfer matahari dengan daya supertinggi. Badai matahari bisa menyebabkan lonjatan tenaga lisrik hingga miliaran watt. Bila sampai ke bumi, pancarannya akan memengaruhi medan magnet bumi yang selanjutnya berdampak pada sistem satelit, listrik, dan frekuensi radio. Bumi terancam kehilangan daya listrik.
Badai matahari merupakan siklus biasa yang terjadi setiap 11 tahun. Namun, siklus itu diperkirakan akan mencapai puncaknya pada 2012-2013. Berdasar prediksi tersebut, sejumlah badan antariksa telah berupaya menyiapkan sejumlah strategi menghadapi badai matahari. Strategi untuk mengantisipasi hilangnya daya listrik, satelit, dan frekuensi radio yang menopang kehidupan masyarakat modern masa kini.
Badai matahari merupakan salah satu aktivitas matahari selain medan magnet, bintik matahari, lontaran massa korona, angin surya dan partikel energetik. Ledakan-ledakan matahari itu, bisa sampai ke bumi. Namun, badai matahari yang diperkirakan akan terjadi itu tak akan langsung membuat dunia hancur.
Semburan matahari atau suar matahari (bahasa Inggris: solar flare) adalah ledakan besar di atmosfer Matahari yang dapat melepaskan energi sebesar 6 × 1025 joule. Istilah ini juga digunakan untuk fenomena yang mirip di bintang lain. Semburan matahari mempengaruhi semua lapisan atmosfer matahari (fotosfer, korona dan kromosfer). Kebanyakan semburan terjadi di wilayah aktif disekitar bintik matahari.
Sinar X dan radiasi ultraviolet yang dikeluarkan oleh semburan matahari dapat mempengaruhi ionosfer Bumi dan mengganggu komunikasi radio. Semburan matahari pertama kali diamati oleh Richard Christopher Carrington tahun 1859
Selama ini masyarakat banyak yang menghubungkan antara badai matahari dengan isu kiamat 2012 dari ramalan Suku Maya. Ancaman badai matahari yang berpotensi menghantam bumi pada 2012 inilah yang sempat menguatkan mitos mengenai akhir dunia atau kiamat pada 2010. Sebuah mitos yang tak cukup bukti ilmiah untuk dipercaya. Namun, dari berbagai kajian ilmiah badai matahari tersebut tidak sedahsyat yang diduga dikawatirkan banyak orang.
Efek badai matahari paling utama berdampak pada teknologi tinggi seperti satelit dan komunikasi radio. Satelit dapat kehilangan kendali dan komunikasi radio akan terputus.
Dampak lain badai matahari berpengaruh pada perubahan iklim. Ketika aktivitas matahari meningkat maka matahari akan memanas. Akibatnya suhu bumi meningkat dan iklim akan berubah. Partikel-partikel matahari yang menembus lapisan atmosfer bumi akan mempengaruhi cuaca dan iklim. Dampak ekstremnya, bisa menyebabkan kemarau panjang. Namun hal ini masih dikaji oleh para peneliti.
Badai matahari 1859
Badai matahari pernah melanda bumi pada 1 September 1859. Namun, kala itu tak terlalu berdampak karena kehidupan di masa itu belum ditopang listrik. Badai matahari 1859, juga dikenal sebagai Peristiwa Carrington, adalah semburan matahari terbesar yang pernah terjadi dalam sejarah.

Pada 1-2 September 1859, badai ini terjadi. Aurora dapat dilihat di seluruh dunia. Sistem telegraf di seluruh Eropa dan Amerika Utara mengalami kekacauan. Pilon-pilon telegraf mengeluarkan percikan api dan kertas telegraf terbakar. Beberapa sistem telegraf masih dapat mengirim dan menerima pesan meskipun telah terputus dari pencatu daya
Setelah 10 tahun ‘terlelap’ dalam tidur panjangnya, Matahari bangun. Bangkitnya Sang Surya membuat para astronom bersiaga penuh.
NASA memperingatkan ‘tsunami Matahari’ yang menciptakan fenomena aurora — saat suar Matahari memukul perisai Bumi awal Agustus lalu, hanya permulaan. Itu hanya awal dari badai Matahari masif yang berpotensi merusak jaringan listrik dan satelit di seluruh planet Bumi. NASA telah menangkis semua pemberitaan itu dengan mengatakan, hal itu bisa terjadi ‘dalam waktu 100 tahun atau hanya 100 hari’. Namun astronom Australia mengatakan, komunitas ilmuwan luar angkasa bertaruh badai Matahari bisa datang lebih cepat.
Dampak Terhadap Bumi dan Manusia
Kilas balik ke belakang, badai Matahari pada 1859 dan 1921 menyebabkan kekacauan, badai itu memutus jaringan telegram dalam skala yang masif. Dan, badai 2012 diduga lebih berefek negatif.
Konsensus umum di kalangan para astronom, badai Matahari pada 2012 atau 2013 akan jadi yang terburuk dalam 100 tahun terakhir,” kata dosen astronomi dan kolumnis, Dave Reneke, seperti dimuat laman News.com.au, 25 Agustus 2010. Peringatan khususnya ditujukan untuk maskapai penerbangan, perusahaan telekomunikasi, dan siapapun yang tergantung pada sistem GPS modern.
“Bahkan bisa memutus rangkaian listrik dan ‘memukul’ satelit yang mengorbit, seperti yang terjadi tahun ini,” tambah Reneke. Namun, ilmuwan tak begitu peduli apakah badai Matahari berikutnya terburuk dalam sejarah, ataukah separah badai 1859. Yang jadi sumber kegelisahan adalah fakta bahwa masyarakat kita sangat tergantung dengan teknologi. Meski tak ada yang bisa memprediksikan efek badai Matahari 2012-2013 dalam masyarakat digital.
Sementara itu, Dr Richard Fisher, Direktur Divisi Heliophysics NASA, mengatakan, pukulan badai super seperti ‘sengatan’ yang bisa menyebabkan bencana bagi kesehatan dunia, layanan darurat, bahkan keamanan nasional — jika tak ada tindakan pencegahan yang diambil.
Dan Amerika jadi kampiun. Awal tahun ini AS menyelenggarakan latihan Boulder, Colorado, untuk memetakan apa yang mungkin terjadi jika bumi itu dipukul dengan badai seintens badai 1859 dan 1921.
NASA menyatakan, sesuai laporan National Academy of Sciences, jika badai yang sama dengan 1859 terjadi hari ini, kerugian diperkirakan sebesar $1 sampai $2 triliun. Perlu 10 tahun untuk pemulihan.
Saat badai Matahari menerjang, satelit diduga akan seperti berumur 50 tahun, GPS sama sekali tidak berguna. Dan ledakan badai Matahari diduga memiliki energi setara 100  bom hidrogen. Bom hidrogen memiliki kekuatan lebih besar lagi dari bom atom.
Pada bulan Maret 1954, AS telah mengujicoba bom hidrogen pertama bernama “Bravo” di Atol Bikini, Kepulauan Marshal, Samudera Pasifik. Bravo berkekuatan 10 megaton TNT atau kira-kira 700 kali energi bom atom Little Boy.  Alhasil, jutaan ton pasir, batu karang, tumbuhan, dan fauna laut dalam radius 20 mil beterbangan membentuk cendawan raksasa membakar langit. Tiga Atol Bikini, yakni Bokonijien, Aerokojlol, dan Nam, tidak terlihat lagi di atas permukaan air. “Kami tahu ini datang, tetapi kita tidak tahu seberapa buruk itu akan terjadi,” kata Dr Fisher kepada Reneke dalam edisi terbaru Australasian Science. “Sistem akan terhenti. Suar Matahari akan mengubah medan magnet di bumi. Itu cepat, seperti petir. Itu efek matahari.”

'Harry Potter' Stars Emma Watson, Tom Felton Say Goodbye Will there be tears? 'Maybe one or two, just little ones,' Watson tells MTV News.


The "Harry Potter" franchise comes to an end for fans on July 15, but for the stars of the best-selling franchise, the end came over a year and a half ago.
"Potter" stars Emma Watson and Tom Felton hit the MTV Movie Awards red carpet Sunday to represent their series against previous victors "Twilight" but said that it was a bit surreal to be there supporting a series they finished filming so long ago.

"It's been over, like, a year and a half since we shot it, and I haven't seen any of it," Felton said.
The final press rounds for "Deathly Hallows, Part 2" will be taking place this summer, something Watson called "very strange." She said she would probably shed some more tears when the end came for "Harry Potter" all over again.
"Maybe a few. Maybe one or two, just little ones," she said.
The "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2" footage that was shown during the MTV Movie Awards was the first Felton had seen of any of the "Part 2" footage, which is impressive, because many trailers have been released in anticipation of the July 15 release date.
CHECK OUT PHOTOS OF THE "POTTER" CAST BACKSTAGE AT THE MOVIE AWARDS.
"I'm excited to see the sneak peek!" he said excitedly. "That's half the reason I'm here tonight, I want to see the sneak peek."
Since Felton hasn't seen any of the "Part 2" footage, he has no idea how he will look fighting the final battle on the big screen in 3-D. That is something else he said he's very excited to see.
"I'm not sure whether that will add or subtract to my screen presence, but we'll see," Felton said with a laugh.

'Breaking Dawn' Trailer: More Squeal-Filled Fan Reactions One viewer even pretends to faint at the sight of shirtless Taylor Lautner.


Christmas came early for the "Twilight" fans of the world, in the form of the trailer for "Breaking Dawn - Part 1" during Sunday's MTV Movie Awards. Two days later, and the most die-hard fans still can't get enough of watching and re-watching the nearly two-minute extravaganza.
Because we anticipated a few over-the-top enthusiastic responses, MTV News asked fans to upload their "Breaking Dawn" trailer reactions to Your.MTV.com, and the top three aired on MTV's "The Seven," on Monday. But since we received so many wonderful reaction videos, we felt that we needed to highlight a few more.

This latest group features similar themes of breathlessness, wide-eyed enthusiasm and, of course, squeals of delight. One video features five young girls perched on a couch in a room surrounded by "Team Edward" paraphernalia, all of them remaining mostly composed, until one little lady pretends to faint after seeing shirtless Taylor Lautner.
SEE PHOTOS OF ALL OF THE "TWILIGHT" STARS AT THE MOVIE AWARDS.
The reactions from Emily and Lizzy in Haysville, Kansas, go from smiley to stunned to squealy. Also notable is the fact that a young guy is hanging out in the background, probably a brother or friend, who tries to sit through the ladies' screams but bails halfway through.
Finally, uploader ayLa94kLd submitted footage of herself and her sister's reactions. The lively duo were the first reactors we've seen to offer a bit of running commentary throughout. At one point, the older sis playfully smacks her younger sister to keep her from fully freaking out.
In addition to those video reactions, we have a few more thoughts, written by our readers in the comments section under the first trailer-reaction story we posted.
"THAT TRAILER WAS AWESOME!!!" exclaimed Tucheer83. "I loved their reactions. Mine was worse. I was literally running around the house. I couldn't believe [director Bill] Condon actually gave us the headboard breaking. I so love that man. No wonder Jennifer Hudson got an Oscar [for Condon's 'Dreamgirls']. This guy is good!!! 'New Moon' used to be my favorite trailer, but Condon beat it hands down — but not by much."
"I loved the trailer," Shari44 wrote. "My biggest squeals came when I got a glimpse of Bella looking into Edward's eyes in her wedding veil. Just beautiful. Second squeal and a little giggle was when he was gripping the headboard during a passionate moment," she added. "When Edward and Bella were snuggling together, then when we could see her belly with the first signs of pregnancy. Awesome trailer. Loved it all. Any Edward moment makes me sigh at the very least."

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart in "Breaking Dawn"

Justin Bieber, Chris Brown's 'Next 2 U' Video Leaks Early cut of clip depicts dramatic love stories for both singers intertwined with apocalyptic theme.

Director Colin Tilley promised that the video for Chris Brown and Justin Bieber's "Next 2 U" would be "big," and a leaked early cut of the video is just that.
The whole thing plays out like a movie, complete with dialogue, drama, lots of action, and of course, singing and dancing. It opens with Brown and his love interest dancing, kissing and joking around with one another. Justin Bieber is then seen hugging and kissing his girlfriend and telling her, "I've been waiting for you all day," before presenting her with a necklace. Things get dark when the pair are caught together by her dad, who then takes her away.
"I told you not to see him again," he tells his daughter. Bieber's story is intercut with Brown's. Brown is dreaming of his girl when he looks outside and sees that the world appears to be ending around them. Cars are exploding and people are running around in a panic.
As the destruction continues, Brown stands in the street singing the love song. Meanwhile, Bieber stands on a rooftop, pining for his lady, also singing the tune.
More shots of each of the happy couples play as reminders of times when things weren't so uncertain. Viewers are reminded of the destruction by the song's lyrics, "One day when the sky is falling/ I'll be standing right next to you/ Right next to you." The couples do eventually make their way back to one another, but it's not all peachy keen when they do. Just as Brown finally meets up with his love interest after running through the streets, she's hit by a car.
As the video closes out, a big dance break takes place as Bieber's lady runs around trying to find him. They meet up on the roof where he was singing, and it appears that both couples will somehow survive their tragedies.
Before the video leaked, Bieber's manager, Scooter Braun, seemed confident that fans wouldn't be disappointed by the clip. He tweeted, "Just saw a rough cut of the #NEXT2YOU video with @ and @ ! @ is goin' in!!"

Justin Bieber & Mark Wahlberg Reveal Their Basketball Drama's Origins

Justin Bieber taught the world to never say never, and for good reason, because his planned basketball movie where he costars opposite Mark Wahlberg is actually, legitimately happening.
MTV News caught up with Bieber backstage at the MTV Movie Awards after he made his surprise appearance to accept his Best Jaw-Dropping Moment Golden Popcorn, and though he wasn't able to share too much information about the project (read: any), he did tease that it was something we should look forward to.
"You'll have to see," he teased. "I can't really reveal too much about it."

Mark Wahlberg was more willing to chat about the movie at the Guys Choice Awards, where he compared it to "The Color of Money." But it turns out his road to being the "old guy" in this basketball flick wasn't a smooth one.
"So I get this call from Paramount [where they tell me about the story about] an old guy and a young guy. I'm like, 'Cool, let's get Jack [Nicholson]. Let's get Robert De Niro. Let's get Robert Duvall.' And they go, 'What about Garrett Hedlund?' " Wahlber shared. "I'm like, 'For what?' They're like, 'For the young guy.'"
Still, it sounds like a project he's pretty excited for. Wahlberg explained the process it took for Bieber to convince him that he would be a quality costar previously, saying: "He sent me a video of himself, and, yeah, I think he's really talented."
Are you surprised this movie is actually happening? Tell us in the comments below or on Twitter!

Justin Bieber's Ear Piercings

First tattoos, now piercings? Justin Bieber shows off his new piercings at the 2011 MTV Movie Awards. Do you think girlfriend Selena Gomez approves?
Justin Bieber earrings
Justin Bieber attended the MTV Movie Awards wearing white jeans, a black t-shirt with a blue blazer -- and earrings in both ears. The 17-year-old also has two tattoos, which include a bird on his torso and the word "Jesus" written in Hebrew going down his torso.
See the photos of Justin Bieber’s tattoos here >>>
There were photos circulating of Bieber with what appeared to be a star tattoo on his elbow, however, that was gone at the MTV Movie Awards so it must have been a fake.
Bieber picked up the Best Jaw Dropping Moment award for his 3-D concert film, Never Say Never. "But most of all I want to thank my fans. I love you," he told the audience while accepting the award.
MTV Movie Awards host Jason Sudeikis couldn’t help but make fun of Bieber and Selena Gomez -- especially after all the photos of them making out in Hawaii have been circulating.
"Sweetie, you’ve been lip-locked with that Bieber kid for a month straight. I want you to be careful, alright?" Sudeikis told Gomez, as she sat in the audience with her head buried in her hands. "The only reason I’m telling you that is because she already swallowed three of his baby teeth. Don’t want you to choke."

Eminem adds Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber to his diss list with 'A Kiss'

Eminem disses Lady Gaga and Justin 
Bieber with 'A Kiss'
Eminem is back to dissing his peers, with Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber landing as his newest targets in the single "A Kiss."
The rapper and Royce da 5'9" constitute the duo Bad Meets Evil, which has an EP coming out next week. The brisk staccato in the song resurfaces rumors that Mother Monster is a hermaphrodite and equates the Biebs to a Satanic behemoth.
Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber dissed by 
Eminem "Tell Lady Gaga she can quit her job at the post office / She's still a male lady," he raps, adding a more concise (and explicit) description regarding her rumored male parts. But he's about a year too late, it's been a while since people have accused the fashion icon of being a dude.
As for the ever-present Bieber, apparently Eminem thinks the Canadian pop star and Billboard Music Award recipient who tied with him for six awards this year has been forsaken by God.
"Him don't give a damn about Bieber, do Him? / What a demon, a behemoth, evil just seems to be seeping through him," he raps.
This coming from a man whose collaborative album is titled "Hell: The Sequel." If you're prepared for brusque lyrics and an onslaught of cussing, listen to "A Kiss" here.
It's no secret that the "8 Mile" star has built his Grammy-lined career with shock value and explicit libretto. Perhaps he's just saying if it ain't broke don't fix it? Other celebrities initiated into the "Dissed By Eminem Club" include Moby, Christopher Reeve, the Insane Clown Posse, 'N SYNC's Chris Kirkpatrick, Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst, Christina Aguilera, Jessica Simpson, Kim Kardashian, Britney Spears, Elton John, Mariah Carey, Nick Cannon, Ja Rule and Michael Jackson.
But "A Kiss" isn't all disses, at least not for Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj, whom the duo seem to have an affinity for.
"Aw hell Shady, he'll tell it like it is / So Katy Perry he's on her tail / He's tailgating," Eminem raps about the "Teenage Dream" singer.
As for Nicki, well, her last name sounds like ménage, doesn't it?
Are Gaga and the Biebs are worthy of Eminen's disses, or is Mr. Mathers just being a bully? Tell us in comments.

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez's Hawaiian PDA-fest continues.

Bieber, 17, and Gomez, 18, were spotted embracing in the Pacific Ocean on Thursday during their romantic getaway. She showed off her fabulous physique in a pink bikini, while Bieber displayed his new ribcage tattoo.

After sharing a smooch at Sunday's Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas, the two jetted to the island of Maui for a little R&R and were seen hitting the beach together on Tuesday, as well.

Gomez recently said that she wasn't going to try to hide her romance anymore. "I do like to keep certain things to myself, but at the end of the day, I'm 18 and I'm going to fall in love," she said. "I'm going to hang out with people and I'm going to explore myself, and I'm okay with that."

Paramore Unleash Their Inner “Monster” On New Single

paramonstersingle“I’m not the villain despite what you’re always preaching,” sings Hayley Williams on Paramore’s new song “Monster”, the lead single off the Transformers: Dark Of The Moon soundtrack. If you analyze the lyrics a bit too closely, you might think “Monster” is a swipe at former band members Josh and Zac Farro (particularly the line “Now that you’re gone, the world is ours”). Or, ya know, Hayley could just be singing about battling giant robots taking over the Earth. Call’s yours. Listen to the full track below.

Paramore – “Monster”

The single is available on iTunes June 7 and the Transformers: Dark Of The Moon soundtrack drops June 14

Watch Joe Jonas And Hear His Single “See No More” In Our Livestream Chat

Joe Jonas See No MoreExtremely photogenic Jonas Brother gone solo Joe Jonas is here today to respond to the questions you’ve been submitting all week long  in our exclusive livestream chat with the 21-year old singer. He’ll also be playing his brand new single “See No More” while acclaimed artist Curtis Kulig creates a lyric video live in Hollywood while the tune plays. The action kicks off below at 3 p.m. PST!

Fans of Joe anxious to purchase “See No More,” which the singer co-wrote with chart-topping peer Chris Brown, will be able to grab the song off iTunes on June 13.
Joe told Idolator the track, with its dramatic strings, “grabbed my heart” when he first heard the basic version, produced by Digging-featured hitmaker Brian Kennedy, who was also behind the boards for such jams as Rihanna’s #1 single “Disturbia,” among others.
As he explained to E! News at the 2011 Billboard Music Awards:
“The song is about a relationship ending and you’re trying to get over it, but at the same time you’ve got these mixed feelings… you’re fighting everything of seeing that person. It sounds like a sad song, but it carries a cool beat to it.”
The song came together last year one day when Joe was working in the studio with Chris Brown (a credited co-writer on the song). Kennedy stopped by the studio, and Brown asked him what new beats he’d had stored on his laptop. Kennedy whipped out the “See No More” track, which he’d built from scratch while working in Nashville. Jonas and Brown went for it instantly. “It was just electric,” Jonas told E!.
When we asked Kennedy to sum up Joe’s connection with “See No More,” (a club/R&B track that departs quite a bit from his pop-rock days), he told us, “I feel like it matches who he is. It has this confident kind of vibe that’s perfect for him — a guy coming into a man. He’s actually coming into that new sound, it’s natural. It feels honest. It feels believable.”
Joe himself described his feelings about going solo this morning during an interview with Chicago’s B96 FM DJs J and Jillian.
“It’s exciting, you know? I mean, having my brothers’ support in this whole project is the biggest thing for me and the fact that they’re loving the music and everything,” he admitted. “Being onstage by myself, it will be different for sure. I know there’s going to be that little bit of jitters that I’ll have to get out of me that are just going to be there.”
As for Chris Brown, he had celebrated collaborating with Joe on “See No More” by tweeting that they “just did a smash” in early April. Ready to find out if Breezy was preaching the truth? Tune in below:

Joe will be logged into the chat via Twitter, so look for @joejonas to answer your questions in the chat box.
Jonas’ full foray into solo stardom will come with his debut LP, which is scheduled for a September 6 release. You were on the market for a back-to-school soundtrack anyway, right?

Selena Gomez Nixes Painted Horses From New Video “Love You Like A Love Song”

Selena GomezYet another reason for new mommy Pink to celebrate today – after being blasted by the “Raise Your Glass” singer and animal activist via Twitter for using painted horses in her new video “Love You Like A Love Song”, Selena Gomez has decided to cut the horses from her video altogether.
About two weeks ago, Pink took to Twitter to criticize a music video production using painted animals on the beach in Malibu. “If there are any animal activists around Malibu- at Leo Cabrillo State Beach, there are horses being painted for a stupid music video. Shame.”
She continued after learning that Justin Bieber’s sweetie was the artist in question whose music video was being shot: “whether u r a fan of mine or whomEVER’S, i won’t stop speaking out about animal cruelty. i’ve taken responsibility in the past, so should she.”
Selena’s camp released a statement saying “no animals were harmed and all proper precautions were taken. A nontoxic, vegetable-based powder paint was applied via an airbrush and removed with water.” But it appears that the “Who Says” singer wants the horses out of the picture completely.
“When Selena was presented the idea for the video, no one informed her the horses would be painted and she had assumed they would be colored in post-production [via special effects],” a production insider tells E! Online. “When she showed up to the set she was very surprised to see them painted.”
That should appease Pink, all animal lovers and horses alike.

Weird Al Parodies Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus And B.o.B On Upcoming Album

Weird-Al-art-album-AlpocalypseLady Gaga isn’t the only modern day pop star getting skewered by musical mastermind Weird Al Yankovic. Speaking to Reuters, Yankovic spoke on the drama surrounding his Gaga parody “Perform This Way”, but also revealed several of the other parodies on his upcoming album, Alpocalypse (out June 21). Taylor, Miley and B.o.B — consider this the definitive proof that you have officially arrived.
Yankovic, who calls Gaga “a huge talent, a great songwriter and a wonderful performer,” says that he has no ill feelings toward Gaga over the controversy that ensued when her camp initially didn’t give their consent to his parody.
“This is unfortunately not an isolated incident over the course of my career,” he said. “I find it’s better, whenever possible, to go directly to an artist and deal with them personally, but as it turns out I didn’t happen to have Lady Gaga’s home phone number or e-mail address.”
When Gaga finally heard the track, she immediately gave her consent, and even allowed Yankovic the rights to use her song “Poker Face” in a medley called “Polka Face”.
“I had the 11 other tracks in the can for close to a year,” Yankovic said of the rest of the album. “And I was waiting for the right lead-off single. I’ve come to learn over the course of my career that my albums are more successful if they are released concurrently with a single that’s very topical and maybe celebrates a pop culture event of serious magnitude. I thought that Lady Gaga, and specifically her new album and single, was a sufficiently large event. I thought Gaga had sufficiently rocked the zeitgeist enough for me to make that choice.”
Some of the other 11 tracks include parodies of other hit singles released by pop’s biggest names:
The album also includes parodies of Taylor Swift’s “You Belong With Me” (”TMZ”), Miley Cyrus’ “Party in the U.S.A.” (”Party in the CIA,” also timely in the wake of the Osama Bin Laden assassination), B.o.B’s “Nothin’ On You” (”Another Tattoo”) and T.I.’s “Whatever You Like,” with the same title. Yankovic also recorded stylistic homages to the White Stripes (”CNR”), Queen (”Ringtone”) and the Doors (”Craigslist,” with the group’s Ray Manzarek guesting on keyboards).
He’s not kidding when he says his other tracks were recorded a year ago – Taylor Swift’s “You Belong To Me” and Miley’s “Party In The U.S.A.” aren’t exactly the most recent tracks we’ve heard from those two. Regardless, he had us at “Polka Face”. We couldn’t be more psyched for this album.
