On Wednesday (March 30), Justin Bieber shared with his fans the DVD release date for his flick, 'Never Say Never.' So, when will fans be able to experience Bieber in 3-D in the comfort of their own homes?

"So here is the big news they were waiting for me to announce to u once off stage ... Thanks to everyone for seeing #NSN3D around the world! so we are ... OFFICIALLY getting #NEVERSAYNEVER3D to Blu-ray & DVD May13th," he tweeted. 'Preorder NOW.'

He also had another special announcement for a few lucky fans who purchase a special version of the flick, adding, 'And I'm signing some for my fans! #MUCHLOVE.'

Aside from what fans already saw in theaters, the Blu-ray/DVD combo features a dance-off between Bieber and his crew, the full-length performance of 'Favorite Girl,' Bieber's team surprising fans with free tickets and a sendoff for JB's old swoop hairstyle.

Fans already came out to see the flick when it hit theaters in February, helping to solidify its status as one of the highest-grossing documentaries of all time. This will mark the third release for the film, which hit theaters twice already.

Regarding the film's message, Bieber explained to MTV News, "People didn't really know, they didn't understand that I've been playing music ever since I was born, and it's always been in me. And this movie is really going to show that I'm not just some packaged thing that some A&R put together. It was actually just me living my dream and just making music.

'Fans will be really excited to see that I'm just a regular 16-year-old having fun, just living my dream,' he said. 'And it's possible for anyone to live theirs.'

The film shows Bieber skillfully playing piano, drums and guitar. It is part concert film, part documentary, complete with interviews from some of the people closest to the teen phenom. It features cameos by Miley Cyrus, Usher and Ludacris, among others, in interviews and concert performances filmed at Madison Square Garden last year.

Check out everything we've got on 'Never Say Never.'

Justin Bieber has already notched the third-highest-grossing documentary of all time with 'Never Say Never,' but now the teen titan is looking at branching out into scripted moves as well.

After his well-received turns on 'CSI,' the Los Angeles Times reports that Bieber is close to signing on to take the lead role in the buddy comedy 'What Would Kenny Do?' opposite Ashton Kutcher. An anonymous source who was briefed on the project told the paper that the film delves into the relationship between a 17-year-old and his 30-something self, with the latter to be played by Kutcher, 33.

The movie, to be produced by Kutcher's Katalyst Entertainment and Will Smith's Overbrook Entertainment, will probably not get moving until next year because Bieber has touring commitments booked through 2012. Though the initial report said Bieber was 'eyeing' the movie, an update posted late Wednesday clarified that the project has been under development for months 'with Bieber both in mind and on board.'

It wouldn't be the first time the dynamic duo has tried to hook up, coming on the heels of a reported meeting in January in which Kutcher discussed Bieber hosting a rebooted version of 'Punk'd.'

The 'Kenny' script was originally described as an R-rated comedy about 'a teenager who meets a hologram claiming to be the adult version of himself; the hologram then helps guide the teen through high school.' It got a more PG-13 revision from '(500) Days of Summer' writers Scott Neustadter and Michael Weber, who had Kutcher's successful character going back in time to help the awkward present-day Bieber.

Justin Bieber Pestered By Paparazzi In Israel

Justin Bieber Pestered By Paparazzi In Israel: "

Justin Bieber has never been shy about his feelings for the paparazzi. In March, while celebrating his 17th birthday in Los Angeles, the teen sensation gave the paps who tried to snap a photo of him and lady love Selena Gomez the middle finger — although the Biebs soon apologized for it. Well, now that he's abroad taking his My World tour international, he's still finding himself pestered by the photographers' prying lenses.

On Tuesday, he took to Twitter to call out the paparazzi for trying to snap photos of him while he was in Israel taking in the sights. 'Staying in the hotel for the rest of the week u happy?' he wrote. 'People wait their whole lives for opportunities like this, why would they want to take that experience away from someone. They should be ashamed of themselves. Take pictures of me eating but not in a place of prayer, ridiculous.'

Bieber was particularly upset that photographers didn't leave him alone while he visited sites of spiritual significance. 'You would think paparazzi would have some respect in holy places,' he lamented. 'All I wanted was the chance to walk where Jesus did here in Israel.'

Just one day before, Bieber tweeted about his excitement over being in Israel. 'Just amazing place...not a bad day. just wish got a little more space and privacy from the paps to enjoy this time with my family. Thanks,' he wrote. 'I'm in the holy land and i am grateful for that. I just want to have the same personal experience that others have here.'

Bieber's post then helped initiate his latest Twitter trend, #papsleavebiebsalone. As of press time it was one of the highest-rated trends, right behind the promoted #PlayBookHaiku. Other Bieber-related trends included #cheerupjustin and Holy Land.

What do you think about the paparazzi bothering Bieber while he's in Israel? Share your opinions in the comments.

Rebecca Black's 'Friday' Beats Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga On YouTube

Rebecca Black's 'Friday' Beats Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga On YouTube: "

'Friday' has had 100 million views to date, with Black currently working on her second single, 'LOL.'

There was a minute there when Rebecca Black's 'Friday' video was, almost literally, inescapable. Whether the success of the viral hit was being covered on such unlikely outlets as CNN or NPR, getting parodied on late-night television, or just bouncing around from Twitter accounts to e-mail in-boxes and music blogs, the tune by the previously unknown 13-year-old had the kind of white-hot media buzz usually reserved for a Lady Gaga or Justin Bieber.

Well, guess what? The little $2,000 pay-to-play ditty-that-could can now claim to have surpassed such major label juggernauts as Bieber and Gaga. According to a Reuters report, the no-budget clip for Black's song has been viewed more than 100 million times on YouTube since it was released on February 10, surpassing the totals for Gaga's 'Born This Way' and Bieber's 'Pray' videos, based on numbers provided by Visible Measures, a company that tracks the performance of Web videos.

Scratch that. If you count spoofs, other versions and home-brewed takes on the song, it's actually been seen more than 200 million times. Crunching the same numbers for 'Born This Way,' it has generated 180 million online views, while 'Pray' has racked up 65 million.

It doesn't seem as though Gaga minds the competition from the Ark Music Factory product, as she reportedly referred to 'Friday' as 'genius' recently. Black told us she 'freaked out' when she heard the compliment from Mother Monster. 'I'm 13 and I never thought Lady Gaga would even know my name. I'm the kind of girl that dances to Lady Gaga with a hairbrush in her room at night,' Black told MTV News in late March before she notched her YouTube record.

Black is reportedly at work on her second single, 'LOL,' though a release date for that song has not yet been announced.
