Justin Bieber Leads List Of Celebrity 100 Newcomers - Forbes

<div id="lingo_span" readability="59.5560331593"> If you thought it was impossible for a 17-year-old to debut on our list of the most powerful people in entertainment at No. 3, just behind Oprah Winfrey, Justin Bieber proves you can never say never.One of our stars to watch last year, the teen heartthrob hit the list thanks to 500 million views on YouTube and a concert movie that hauled in $100 million at the global box office. Bieber has more than 9.6 million followers on Twitter, more than Kim Kardashian, Ashton Kutcher and President Obama. In the past year, Bieber made nearly $40 million from touring. Endorsement deals, music sales and merchandising bumped him to a total of $53 million. Not too shabby for a kid barely old enough to drive.Usher, the man responsible for discovering Justin Bieber, also makes his debut on our list this year, coming in at No. 32. The R&B icon brought in $46 million in the past year from his concert appearances and album sales. He also earns from impressive sales of his back catalogue dating from the '90s. Fellow pop star Katy Perry has a lot to be happy about this past year. The California girl makes her first appearance on our list at No. 12, with total earnings of $44 million. Aside from concerts and album sales, Perry participated in an impressive lineup of endorsement deals, including well-known companies such as Proactiv, OPI, GHD, and Adidas ( ADDDY.PK - news - people ). She also married comedian Russell Brand. <h4> In Pictures: Celebrity 100 Newcomers </h4>The world got a glimpse of Bethenny Frankel's personal life as a star on her own Bravo reality shows, but that only scratched the surface of the entrepreneur's growing income. Frankel made a killing with her sale of Skinnygirl Cocktails in 2010, bringing her earnings in the past year to $55 million. The author/ reality star/business woman/ wife and mother debuts on our list at No. 42 and on the cover of our magazine.Dwyane Wade takes his place on the list at No. 57 along with Miami Heat teammate and Celebrity 100 veteran Lebron James. He is one of the four professional athletes new to the list this year, joining Rafael Nadal (No. 46), Dwight Howard (No. 59), and Lionel Messi (No. 62). Endorsement deals with T-Mobile and Gatorade, along with his $12 million from the Heat, helped Wade pull in $26 million over the last year. The Charlie Sheen debacle earlier this year resulted in a lot of negative publicity for producer Chuck Lorre, but it didn't hurt his bank account. Lorre is the creator of three hit shows on CBS ( CBS - news - people ), including Two and a Half Men, which was canceled during its eighth season after Sheen's verbal attacks against the Lorre. The producer makes his debut at No. 77, pulling in $35 million over the past year.Natalie Portman earned a modest $8 million over the past year, but her time in the spotlight puts her on this year's list at No. 75. Aside from announcing her pregnancy and engagement, Portman won the Best Actress Oscar in 2011 for her role in the ballet horror film Black Swan.<h4> In Pictures: Celebrity 100 Newcomers </h4> </div>

'Arrogant' Bieber video creates unBeliebers - Manila Bulletin

By JECELYN V. MACAHINDOG<div readability="79.5527681661">  <div class="img_box img_left" readability="7">Justin Bieber during his recent visit in Manila. (Photo by Ali Vicoy) </div>MANILA, Philippines -- After his successful one-night-only Manila concert, pop teen sensation Justin Bieber apparently left a tainted image among some Pinoys. The 17-year-old Canadian's alleged refusal to sign autographs at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) was caught on cam. "Justin Bieber, How Arrogant Can You Be" is the title of the video uploaded by user V7Andrea on May 11. The 19-second clip shows Bieber on his way to the plane when a male employee of NAIA asks an autograph for a Justin Bieber CD he is holding. Instead of refusing politely, Bieber left a bad impression by being impolite. He tapped the man's hand and the CD fell on the floor. The description of the video read: "My father (in neon green vest) tried to get an autograph from Justin Bieber for my sister. But take a look on what he did. He tapped my father's hand and the CD fell on the floor. Nobody from his crew helped him. Not even an apology from Justin Bieber himself. "Where are your manners now kiddo? I know you're sick but you could've at least said sorry you are not signing anything. How could you do that to my father?" The Canadian superstar's manner sparked issue among radio commentators like DZMM's Jon Ibañez and former Vice President Noli de Castro. For them, what Bieber did was inexcusable, given the fact that he owes his superstar status to his fans. Meanwhile, for Bieber's Pinoy die-hard fans, what their idol did was understandable because of his condition. It was reported that Bieber was sick during his Mall of Asia concert May 10 and even vomited between songs. TV host Tim Yap, just the same, understands Bieber's "rude" manner. "We must understand that he is 17 years old. He came on the day of the concert itself. From airport, he went straight to the press conference and then after the press conference, the concert," he said in a TV interview. During his concert in Sydney, Australia April 29, Bieber got pelted by eggs onstage while performing, almost hitting the Canadian singer. He was also branded "kind of a brat" by "Crime Scene Investigation" co-star Marg Helgenberger. </div>

Osmonds' advice for Justin Bieber - CNN International

"Piers Morgan Tonight" airs weeknights on CNN/US at 9 p.m. ET and on CNN International at 0200 GMT (live simulcast), 1200 GMT, and 2000 GMT and HKT.   CNN -- Donny Osmond was the Justin Bieber of his day. And while the show biz veteran has not yet met his 2011 pop star counterpart, he has some advice for him. "Put the seat belt on, buddy, because it's going to be a bumpy ride." Donny and Marie Osmond are guests on Monday's "Piers Morgan Tonight." The brother-sister duo joined the CNN host from the stage of the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas where they perform."That kind of success at that age can really bite you in the shorts as it were -- the proverbial shorts so to speak," continued Donny. "I look at the experiences that I've gone through as a teeny bopper. You know ... I look at Justin Bieber ... and my heart breaks for him, because I know what he's going to go through. He knows. Everybody knows." Donny went on to say that Bieber is "going to go through so much heartache, 'Baby, baby, baby. Oh my' he's going to hate that. He probably hates it right now just as much as I hated 'Puppy Love.'" Both Donny and Marie agreed that many young entertainers today "just jump into the business," that they "get a lot of fame and fortune," and "feel entitled." "They forget about getting out there and working and doing all those little gigs -- 366 days a year and going through the work, going through the motions," said Donny. The pair said that their strong work ethic was instilled in them by their father, who Donny said taught them "if there's something worth doing, it's worth doing well." Marie told Morgan she feels "blessed" to have grown up working with Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin and Elvis Presley. "They didn't look at it as being a celebrity," Marie said. "They looked at it as being an entertainer. It was their job." Donny said that the "mark that a lot of people miss nowadays" is that "they leave out the heart and soul. And that's what I learned from Sammy Davis Jr., from Frank Sinatra, is when you went to ... those shows, you got to know them." Donny recalled seeing Presley's closing show at the Hilton in the 1970s, the night before he and Marie were set to open on that same stage. "I remember watching the 'King' onstage. He could do no wrong. I mean the -- the attitude was in the palm of his hand." Presley came to visit him in his dressing room the following evening, Donny said, and politely said "'Hi, everybody. I'm Elvis Presley. I just wanted to come say hi and good luck.'" "The king of rock and roll just walked through the door, and he's a real person," said Donny. "It taught me a lot about leaving the star onstage. When you go onstage, you're just another person." Donny said that an entertainer's genuine love for the audience is missing from many of today's acts. He said he and Marie go to great lengths to make sure their audiences "walk away feeling that they got to know us better." Donny said Davis once told him, "The day you stop caring about your show is the day you should quit." Marie also spoke about her recent remarriage to her first husband, Steve. The couple married 29 years ago but divorced after three years. She wore her original wedding dress, and the couple's 28-year-old son -- who went through his entire life with separated parents -- served as a witness. Marie said that when she broke the news of the engagement to her son, he hadn't been aware his parents were even dating. "I was recording an album. It's out. It's my first inspirational album. ... There's a song on there called, 'Tell Me to Breathe.' ... I went to my son and I said, 'I'm going to marry your father again and I need a song that says my love to him.' And so he helped write that song. And that's my song to my husband, Steve." The couple married in Las Vegas, and Marie chose the birthday shared by her mother, Olive Osmond, who died in 2004, and her son Michael, who committed suicide last year. "That way they could all be there kind of symbolically," said Marie. "As a matter of, we took a picture with -- I took a picture with Steve and all the kids. And I had Donny stand in for Michael. Then we're going to take -- put Michael's face on his body." Marie said she will never get over the loss Michael, who was 18 when he died. "There's always a place that is set in your heart at the dinner table," said Marie. "There's always a celebration when he's there." She said the proceeds from her inspirational album will go to the Children's Miracle Network on Michael's behalf. Donny, who has been married for 33 years, told Morgan that his marriage was "the only thing that kept me sane." "Point to another teeny bopper star who didn't go through the drugs, the alcohol, the women," continued Donny. "My wife is the one that got me through it."Watch Piers Morgan Tonight weeknights 9 p.m. ET. For the latest from Piers Morgan click here. </div>
