JUSTIN BIEBER’S ‘KARATE KID’ SONG IS ELIGIBLE FOR AN OSCAR
‘Never Say Never’ joins tunes by Gwyneth Paltrow, Christina Aguilera in the running for Original Song category.
Earlier this year, Justin Bieber set tweenage hearts aflutter when he teamed with Jaden Smith to record “Never Say Never,” the theme to Smith’s “Karate Kid” reboot. And now, he’s hoping to do the same for Oscar voters.
Earlier this week, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences — the governing body of the Academy Awards — released its list of the 41 songs eligible for the Original Song category at the 83rd annual awards, and Bieber made the cut.
“Never Say Never” is in the running against the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow’s “Coming Home” and “Me and Tennessee” (both from her upcoming “Country Strong” film) and a trio of songs from Christina Aguilera’s “Burlesque.” Though Bieber made the eligibility list, the tune’s nomination is no surefire bet: Movie clips featuring each song will be screened for voting members of the Academy’s Music Branch on January 6, and it will be up to them to select the field of nominees.
Nominations will be announced on January 25 at 5:30 a.m. PT in the Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills.
According to the Academy, in order for a work to be deemed eligible for the Original Song category, it must “consist of words and music, both of which are original and written specifically for the film,” and “a clearly audible, intelligible, substantive rendition of both lyric and melody must be used in the body of the film, or as the first music cue in the end credits.” Bieber and Smith’s song is played over the end credits of “The Karate Kid.”
The 83rd Academy Awards will be broadcast live from the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood on Sunday, February 27.

ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER JUSTIN BIEBER MALL MELEE
TORONTO (Hollywood Reporter) – Justin Bieber caused a stampede Sunday as the pop star dropped by a mall near his hometown of Stratford, Ont., for some Boxing Daybargain-shopping.
“There were vases being broken, and people climbing over other people and a lot of screaming,” shopper Taylor Inder told the Guelph Mercury newspaper as door-crushing fans struggled to catch a glimpse of Bieber at the Fairview Park Mall in Kitchener.
Local police broke up the noon-time melee, with Sunglass Hut shop owner Sarah Pelletier being told to shut her doors as Bieber did his bit for the Canadian economy by purchasing some shades.
“I thought, my God it’s a 16-year-old boy who’s shopping — what’s the big deal here?” Pelletier told the newspaper. “I was concerned because there was hundreds of girls out there and three police officers at my glass doors, and I’m like, ‘I don’t think this is a good mix.’”
The Canadian pop singer was reportedly in Stratford with family over the holidays, and eventually received an escort out of the mall through a back entrance, according to newspaper accounts. During his year or so atop the pop heap, his public appearances have often triggered scenes of mass chaos.
JUSTIN BIEBER WANTS TO HELP ORPHANS
Pop star Justin Bieber wants to help Romanian orphans.
The “Baby” singer reveals he’s haunted by images he has seen of the parent-less tots in Europe and he’s dedicated to doing what he can to help them – even if it’s just sharing a little love.
He tells CNN, “In Romania there are a lot of orphans… that are never touched or loved… That’s really sad for me.
“I want to go over there and just hold them.”
And Bieber admits he thinks of his hero Michael Jackson whenever he sees struggling children around the world – and feels compelled to help.
He adds, “He (Jackson) always wanted to help others and he always wanted to make people smile, make people happy with his music and his songs… and that’s kind of what I want to do.”

JUSTIN BIEBER TO RELEASE HIS OWN KIND OF SNACK PACK?
Soon you may be able to buy your very own Justin Bieber snacks. Rumours are going around that ConAgra Foods, which produces Snack Pack, is trying to get Justin Bieber to endorse their product for charity.
According to a ZackTaylor.ca source, they want Justin to “create his own flavour and endorse it to help raise funds in return for a year’s supply of Snack Packs.”
ConAgra Foods works closely with Kids Cafes, a charity which provides nutritious meals to children from low-income families. I’m glad to see him possibly donating his image to charity, though it’s a little disconcerting seeing his face next to the words “artificially flavored.”

JUSTIN BIEBER AND CHRIS BROWN WORK TOGETHER ON A NEW SONG
Justin Bieber, at just 16, has worked with some impressive artists, from Kanye West to Ludacris. He’s supposedly working with Rascall Flatts’s Gary LeVox and Diddy on his upcoming 2011 album.
From Chris Brown’s twitter, Justin Bieber fans learned that the two would be releasing a song together this weekend.
Chris’s tweet read: “ME and @justinbieber got a BANGER/SMASH record for all the fans out there at the top of the NEW YEAR!!! 2011 #BREEZYTAKEOVER”
Justin hinted about this back in October on his own twitter account by posting a video of himself singing one of Chris Brown’s songs.
No one knows yet if this song will be for Bieber’s album or one of Brown’s. Though, I did a little cringe at the thought of them working together, since Bieber doesn’t need any negative influences, being so young. Or, can you look past Brown’s past and see this as a fun collaboration for Bieber?

CHER RECALLS VMA MEETING WITH JUSTIN BIEBER
‘I felt like I should cover up before I take a picture with this baby,’ pop legend says of meeting Bieber while wearing racy ’80s outfit.
Cher turned heads at the VMAs back in September when she proudly showed up in the same barely there outfit she wore for her 1989 “If I Could Turn Back Time” video. However, the 64-year-old pop icon admits that she began feeling a bit inappropriately dressed when she was introduced to Justin Bieber that evening.
“I thought, ‘I’ll do myself in a decade’, and that [body stocking] was the closest thing I had. And then someone said, ‘Will you take a picture with Justin Bieber,’ and I said, ‘Sure’, not knowing who he was,” she recently recalled to British talk-show host Graham Norton. “And then this child, who came up to here [my chest], and I felt like I should cover up before I take a picture with this baby.”
Of course, Bieber wasn’t the only up-and-coming star Cher had the pleasure of meeting that night. She also had the honor of holding Lady Gaga’s meat purse when the latter singer took the stage to accept a Moonman in the now-infamous meat dress.
“Well, I wear that every night in Las Vegas, so I just whipped it out,” Cher said recently to MTV News of her scanty VMA getup. “I didn’t have time to think of, like, getting a costume. So I had it and thought it would just be fun to just take off on myself, not knowing I was going to be handling the meat purse.
“But, you know, there’s those moments you just remember [forever],” she added. ” ‘Here, Cher, will you hold my meat purse?’ “

JUSTIN BIEBER’S BIG NEW YEAR’S PLANS: ‘HANGING OUT’
After a whirlwind year, the 16-year-old plans to chill with his family on Friday night.
Unlike the multitude of stars descending upon Las Vegas, Miami and New York City on Friday to celebrate New Year’s Eve, there are a few who will be keeping a much lower profile as they ring in 2011. Like 2010 superstar Justin Bieber, for example, who said recently that his big plans consist of him getting some much-needed rest and spending time with his family.
“For New Year’s, I’m just hanging out,” Bieber told MTV News last week. “I’m just going to be with my family. Just being with them and relaxing, because I’ve been go, go, go for the past three years.”
Judging from his recent tweets, the 16-year-old phenom is making good on his plans so far.
“Another solid day hanging with the family and friends. love the #holidays,” he wrote on Monday. “New years is coming….what is gonna be your new years resolution?” Then yesterday, he tweeted a message focused on R&R: “Need the rest. #grateful.”
The soon-to-be big-screen star (his film debut, “Never Say Never,” opens in February) later commented that he’s grateful for everything, from his success to all the rumors about his love life.
“Chillin and happy. It’s been a fun year with a lot of blessings,” Bieber wrote on Twitter. “Some crazy rumors but so much love and memories. We r just gettin started!! So enjoy the holidays. Get crazy and have some laughs. Life is too short. At least that is what they tell me. #newyearsIsComin”

What fake names does Justin Bieber use at hotels?
First, there's his rapping alter-ago Shawty Mane. And today, we've uncovered what fake name he used from a hit TV show to book a hotel room in Miami, where he hung with Selena Gomez.
The Biebs' latest alias is...
Chandler Bing!
A source confirms to me that he opted to use Matthew Perry's character name from Friends when he checked into the Gansevoort Hotel recently.
And Chandler Justin somehow managed to lock himself out of his suite after he ordered room service from STK around 1 a.m. on December 18.
When the hotel delivered his order, they found him locked out in the hallway with none other than Selena, Life & Style reports!
But this teenaged twosome wasn't drinking during their hotel hang. They ordered ginger ale and Pepsi. At least we have one Disney darling who's still (sorta) behaving herself!
