Kanye West: I want to make Justin Bieber "special"

Kanye West does something really interesting today. The only twitter account that he's following right now, is Justin Bieber's!






Is Kanye trying to tell us something?

Bieber Twitter Victim hit with $20,000 bill!

Kevin Kristopik, the (now former) fan targeted in a tweet by Justin Bieber after he got the pop star's cellphone number and allegedly sent unwanted texts, was flooded by more than 26,000 text messages and calls before he shut down his phone account, he told the Detroit Free Press on Monday.



Kevin's dad, Mike Kristopik, told the paper that the Biebs was trying to get his son -- who won't exactly say how he got the singer's number -- to stop texting him, and that it worked. Still, said the elder Kristopik, "if it costs us $2,000 or $10,000, it's out of line."

By the time he talked to the Detroit News, that estimate had grown: "If I have a $20,000 bill, I'm going to be pretty upset," he said.

"I thought it was some kind of prank number," one JB fan who called the number told Gawker. "I didn't think Justin Bieber would be stupid enough to post his own number."

A local radio host told the Detroit News that Kevin had e-mailed the show last week ago to brag about hacking into the Facebook account of one of Bieber's friends. WKQI-FM host Spike said Kevin wanted tickets to Bieber's concert and closed his e-mail by saying, "Give me tickets or I'll hack you."

Whether Bieber or his friend will press charges against Kevin Kristopik is still up in the air, the News said, with no comment from Bieber's camp.

That aside, and perhaps unfortunately for Kevin, texts don't come free of charge, even when Justin Bieber is involved. Especially those texts that might originate from international numbers, which are the ones Mike Kristopik told the Free Press he's most concerned about.

One Ministry service provider charges a quarter per international text and a dime for "all messages whether sent or received, read or unread, solicited or unsolicited," with messages longer than 160 characters being broken up into chunks, each of which counts separately.

And that doesn't even figure in the cost of the burned-out brain cells from receiving messages with content -- and grammar and spelling -- along the lines of, "their trying to make it justin's fault! when it's not!!!!!!!!!! if another celeb did that it would be fine!! ugh.......... everyone is such jb haterz! i luv justin bieber! and i would pick bieber every time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i <3 jb."

Perhaps the Kristopiks were signed up for the truly "unlimited" texting plan.

Justin Bieber and Kanye West Collaboration!

Sunday (August 15) was an eventful day for Kanye West, Justin Bieber and Raekwon's Twitter followers. The Louis Vuitton Don, the Biebs and the Chef chatted on the social-networking website about teaming up to record what would likely be a mind-blowing collaboration.

It all began on Sunday morning when Yeezy typed that he had contracted Bieber Fever and was digging the Canadian teen's music.

"Listening to @Justin Bieber 'Run Away love,' " West tweeted. "I love Sunday mornings in the crib."

About an hour later, Yeezy revealed that not only did he have the Bieber track on repeat, he shares a similar song title on his upcoming album.

"But I have listened to Runaway Love about 10 times so far," West wrote. "Ironically I got a song called Runaway on my new album too."

Rarely do the outspoken lyricist's musings go unnoticed and soon Bieber began responding to 'Ye's Twitter props.

"It's not a so what moment for me. I'm 16 and a fan. I'm kinda hyped u are listening to my stuff. Thank u. Nice sunday morning," Bieber replied. 'Ye continued the e-love-fest and proposed that he, Bieber and Rae work on a track together.

"I'm honored that you like my Music @JustinBieber!!!" West tweeted. "You gotta hear the album. Maybe we can do something together. Me, You and Raekwon."

After bringing up the idea of throwing the Chef into the mix, 'Ye explained that Rae once jumped on one of his much-loved R&B and hip-hop collabos.

"Yo [Wu-Tang Clan's Ghostface] and Rae were on one of my favorite Jodeci remixes of all time," West wrote. 'Ye also suggested that the Staten Island MC should bring his Wu flavor to Bieber's music. "Maybe me and Rae should hop on Runaway Love! FLEX would drop bombs!"

Melding the gritty, boom-bap sounds of Raekwon with the cheery soulful pop of Justin Bieber and the genre-straddling jams of Kanye West might appear challenging. However, Bieber, who tweeted that he plays an acoustic version of 'Ye's 808s and Heartbreak hit, "Heartless," said that he's up for the task.

"Me, u, and the chef 2gether on a song = EPIC," Bieber wrote. "Might sound crazy 2 u but even having this convo is living the dream. Thanks."

Although Rae didn't type a response to either artist, the Only Built 4 Cuban Linx MC did re-tweet Bieber's reply.

Justin Bieber Reveals Two Women He Wants To Date!

Justin Bieber: Cheryl Cole and Katy Perry Are Two of the Hottest Girls in the World



After admitting that he fancied Kim Kardashian, Justin Bieber has now revealed two other older women he had in mind for a perfect date - Cheryl Cole and Katy Perry.

He told The Sun, "Cheryl Cole and Katy Perry are two of the hottest girls in the world and so normal and funny with it." "If I was a few years older, they are the kind of girls I'd like to date. I want a younger version of Cheryl and Katy - a mixture of the two would be hot," Justin further stated.

Although Cheryl and Katy are too old for him, he still wants to take them for a dinner, but only for some dating advice, saying "Maybe they could coach me and tell me how to work out which ones are the good ones. That would be pretty awesome."

"I would like to invite the two of them out for dinner so they can tell me the best way to win a woman like them," Justin further shared. As for a real girlfriend, the "Baby" hitmaker said that he has started looking for one special girl who would fit his heart.

"I am happy being single but that doesn't mean I'm not seriously looking. The problem is when I meet a girl, I don't know if she likes me or if she likes the lifestyle," Justin shared. "Also, the really hot girls go around acting like they know they are hot. It's rare to find a girl who is both hot and really cool, but I know they do exist."

Mark Wahlberg Got Stood Up By Justin Bieber

Mark Wahlberg doesn't sound that pleased that Justin Bieber blew him off.

The Other Guys star told George Lopez on Lopez Tonight about how the 16-year-old hitmaker totally flaked on him when Wahlberg asked him to do a favor for his young daughter.

According to Mark, his daughter is a big Biebs fan, so Mark, being the good dad that he is, tried to find a way to get Bieber to call his daughter and talk with her. Unfortunately, Bieber is a very busy little 16-year-old and it doesn't sound like he could make time for an A-list celeb like Mark:

My daughter has this obsession with Justin Bieber now so I'm like, I probably know someone so I could probably call him. I call my agent and I'm like, 'Can you give me the number for Justin Bieber please.' And then next thing you know they give me the number.

I made the mistake of telling my daughter...so we're waiting for this call and he hasn't called yet! So, I'm starting to get upset man. I'm gonna have to mess his hair up a lil' bit. [...] He hasn't called yet, man.

12 things you may not know about Justin Bieber!

Even by teen-sensation standards, it has been a big week for Justin Bieber.

The Canadian pop singer announced Monday that he will star as himself in a 3D biopic to be released in time for next Valentine's Day.

And he says he's also at work on a memoir, due in October. The book is titled Justin Bieber: First Step 2 Forever: My Story. A comic book about the 16-year-old singer also comes out in October.

On Twitter, Bieber called the movie project "incredible news." The movie, as yet untitled, will include footage of his current tour, which swings into Scotiabank Place on Aug. 24. Davis Guggenheim, who won an Oscar for helming An Inconvenient Truth, is in negotiations to direct.

How hot is Bieber? New York magazine, which usually skips teen sensations, profiles him in its current issue.

Here are 12 things we learned from the feature, written by Alex Morris.

1. Justin's "swagger coach" says yes to maroon high-tops

Before each performance, Justin tries on different outfits and e-mails the photos to Ryan Good, his stylist (a.k.a. "swagger coach"). For one New York appearance, Good gave his approval to black jeans, a black T-shirt, a white vest, and maroon high-tops. Justin also wore a $7,500 necklace by the jeweller David Yurman.

2. The Double Point is good, but no match for The Baby Crotch Grab

In a sidebar, New York also details Justin's best dance moves. For The Baby Crotch Grab, Justin squeezes his inner thigh. Somewhere, Michael Jackson is smiling.

3. Snort like a horse, meow like a kitten, squeeze like a Baby Crotch Grab

For his vocal warm-ups, Justin makes various noises as piano scales rise and fall in the background. "He snorts like a horse along the scales. Then he meows like a kitten."

4. Bieber is Bambi

"Bieber is adorable in the tawny, guileless way of a small woodland creature," Morris writes. "His eyes are moist and fawnlike, his lips a blend of pout and puck. His downy cheeks seem never to have been affronted by anything as indelicate as a razor."

5. Mom to Justin: 'It's 10 p.m. You're not going bowling. You're 16.'

Sure, he's a megastar. But like any teenager, his mom has the final word. When Justin wants to go bowling one night in New York, his mother Pattie points out that he has a 6 a.m. lobby call the next morning.

"Tonight's not a good night," she says. "You can go bowling any time." "Any time?" Justin asks, with reason. "All right. You name a time." "It's just late." "Ten o'clock?"

"Yes, that's too late. Justin, you're 16." "Exactly," he retorts. "I'm not two." (He didn't go bowling.)

6. WE SKIPPED PROM TO SEE U JUSTIN!

Most calculating poster made by two devoted fans. The girls waited 12 hours outside Rockefeller Plaza to see his performance on the Today show.

7. He tweets, they swoon

Justin tweets at least four times more often than any other celebrity, "almost as if he's filling a quota," Morris writes. "He follows more than 70,000 people. He actively cultivates an online conversation, maintaining the illusion that it is not one-sided by frequently giving 'shout-outs' to particular fans ('allison in the purple tye dyed shirt it was nice meeting u'). For many fans, having him follow them on Twitter is a lifetime goal ..."

8. Producer L.A. Reid on the Justin phenomenon

"Look, we put his first single out 13 months ago, and today he's selling out arenas all over America, and kids in the nosebleed section are wearing Justin Bieber T-shirts, and when he says scream, they scream, and when he says jump, they jump. I've never seen anything like it since the Beatles."

9. Pre-performance prayer by Justin's youth pastor

"Father, we come before you, acknowledging you for this day, for this opportunity. Thank you for each member of this team, Father. Thank you for the performance. May you bless each and every person, Father, and may they see you in us as we perform. In Jesus' name, amen."

10. No Advil for Justin

Millions of people take ibuprofen for a headache. Not Justin. Not before he sings, at least. Ibuprofen thins the capillaries, which might result in damage to his vocal chords.

11. Telling quote from Scooter Braun, Bieber's manager

"Never mess with the passion of a 14- or 15-year-old girl."

12. Justin, the prankster scamp

Once, having swiped the number from Scooter's phone, Justin called the singer Akon, pretending to be his illegitimate son. "He's like, 'Daddy, why don't you love me?' " Scooter laughs. "It really scared the s--- out of Akon."

Who Will Be The Next Justin Bieber?

J-14 sure does love Cody. He recently serenaded the staff with a little Jason Mraz, and then a poll in the September issue of J-14 asked readers "Who will be the 'Next Justin'?" A whopping 47% said it's none other than our favorite Aussie, Cody! (But personally... no one compares to Cody. Just sayin'.)

Oscar Winning Director says NO to Justin Bieber!

Justin Bieber’s concert movie/bio pic still needs its director. Paramount Pictures confirmed today that Academy Award-winning documentary filmmaker Davis Guggenheim will not be joining the 3-D project. The director of the upcoming Waiting for Superman documentary was a name being considered for the project, but his promotional duties surrounding his film on our nation’s troubled public education system prevents him from focusing on another movie at this time. Guggenheim officially passed on the project last night.

The helmer, whose previous credits include An Inconvenient Truth, was never attached to the project, so it’s unfair to say that he has dropped off it. Deadline Hollywood first reported the news.

JUSTIN BIEBER: THE MOVIE -- IN 3D!

A Justin Bieber movie is happening



Deadline New York reports that Paramount has made a deal to make a 3D Justin Bieber biopic. You heard right, a 3D biographical film. Even more surprising/confusing is that Davis Guggenheim, director of the Oscar-winning AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH, is planning to direct. Really Davis? Really?

From Deadline:

The film doesn't have a title, but Bieber will play himself in the film. The pic will be sprinkled with performances from his current concert tour. The film will come out February 11, 2011 on Valentine's Day weekend.


There is so much about this deal I don't understand. Why is Davis Guggenheim directing? Why Valentine's Day? Why 3D? Why, why, why?

To be honest, it makes sense. Valentine's Day has become quite the marketable holiday and Justin Bieber will bring in lots and lots (and lots) of money. I can already see the fangirls camping out in front of theaters.

Well at least we know what we'll all be doing this Valentine's Day. Forget taking your love to a fancy restaurant, take him/her to see 3D Bieber on the big screen! That'll bode well for your love life.

Justin Bieber To Release Illustrated Memoir

'Justin Bieber: First Step 2 Forever: My Story' will hit bookstores in October.



Think you know everything about Justin Bieber? Well, fans of the 16-year-old pop star will learn much more when HarperCollins releases his official illustrated memoir, "Justin Bieber: First Step 2 Forever: My Story."

In a press release, Bieber said, "Every day I wake up and count my blessings. My fans have played such a large part in all of this and they help me live my dreams every day. I'm excited to share just a little bit more of my world with them through this book. Between the behind-the-scenes pictures and the story I think this is going to be something they can all enjoy. This is just another way for me to say thank you to my fans."

The book, due in October, will chronicle Bieber's beginnings in Stratford, Ontario, his work with his manager Scooter Braun, his landing a record deal with Usher and his success in pop music thanks to hits like "Baby" and "Somebody to Love."

"Justin's adoring and devoted fan base that started on YouTube now follows him to packed concert halls around the world," Susan Katz, president and publisher of HarperCollins Children's Books, said. "He is a force in the music industry and we are incredibly excited to be publishing this photographic memoir of his amazing journey."

"This is a real coup for us and we are very excited about adding Justin to our autumn program," Harper non-fiction senior commissioning editor Anna Valentine added. "Justin is the hottest star of the moment and this book will be the perfect gift for his millions of fans worldwide."

Bieber also announced on Twitter that he's hard at work on a few other projects. "New Vids comin from both MY WORLD and MY WORLD 2.0 in the coming weeks!" he wrote. "Proud of these albums, proud of the music, and thankful 4 ur support."

The singer, who is currently on tour, is also slated to make his network TV acting debut on "CSI" this September. "CSI premieres on Thursday, Sept 23rd on CBS ... and I told you I was a BAD MAN!!" he tweeted, along with a photo of him being arrested on the show. According to CBS, he plays Jason McCann, a "troubled teen who is faced with a terrible decision regarding his only brother — a decision that leads him into an explosive confrontation with the CSIs."

The Jonas Brothers, Justin Bieber among Top Twitter Trends this week

The Jonas Brothers and Justin Bieber topped Twitter Trends this past week. According to numbers released by Twitter, The Jonas Brothers were seventh most searched term this week. While Justin Bieber was at the number two spot.

That is no mean task for either The Jonas Brothers or Justin Bieber considering the amount of competition in twitter. No prizes for guessing what took the number one spot, yes it was "Easter". The fans of The Jonas Brothers and Justin Bieber should be proud of this achievement considering they beat out stars like Miley Cyrus, Adam Lambert and Lady Gaga.

The boy band of Joe Jonas, Kevin Jonas and Nick Jonas have been riding high for the last few weeks and this is just another feather to their cap. As for Justin Bieber, the 16 year old has been the talk of late night tv with appearences in SNL and Jimmy Fallon

Justin Bieber is angry about the PEOPLE cover!

Pop sensation Justin Bieber, who was in Washington, D.C. Monday for the White House Easter Egg Roll, showed some teen 'tude this week when his People magazine cover story hit the web. "Dear @peoplemag Covershoot...next time i laugh real crazy warn me u r still taking pics," the pop star tweeted. "still appreciate u but let's get on the same page. EXCLUSIVE story and pics in the new issue of @peoplemag. I look crazy as heck on the cover but if u cant laugh at yourself u aint havin fun." -Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber Laughs at Himself

If you haven't had your fill of Justin Bieber yet, his smiling face lights up the cover of this week's People magazine. While the 16-year-old has a reputation for being a pretty down-to-earth kid (so far!), Justin let it be known that he wasn't exactly crazy about the toothy image People picked of him to feature on their latest cover.

"Dear @peoplemag Covershoot...next time i laugh real crazy warn me u r still taking pics," the pop star tweeted. "still appreciate u but let's get on the same page. EXCLUSIVE story and pics in the new issue of @peoplemag. I look crazy as heck on the cover but if u cant laugh at yourself u aint havin fun."

Since he recently taped a Funny or Die video for April Fool's Day, and is the musical guest on this week's "Saturday Night Live" (perhaps he'll appear in a skit or two about his crazy coif?), it's fortunate that JBiebs has a sense of humor!

In his People interview (on newsstands Friday), the singer talks about his rise to fame, but notes that despite the "Bieber Fever" that is sweeping the nation, he has remained grounded. "I still feel regular," he says. "You know, sometimes it's weird that I go places and have thousands of people waiting for me, but I always think, 'I'm Justin.'"

Bieber talks Barack, Perez Hilton, and sarnies (+ confirms UK Tour)

Bieber talks Barack, Perez Hilton, and sarnies (+ confirms UK Tour)

The internet has almost ground to a halt this weekend as we were inundated with literally two tweets asking for the next instalment of our interview with Justin Bieber. We would like to take this opportunity to apologise for the delay, and to explain our reasoning for delaying its debut online…

We at teentoday.co.uk had some very real concerns that if we unleashed this footage onto the public too soon, there would simply be a complete charisma overload, and you guys would all spontaneously combust. In the way that, if a circuit board gets overwhelmed with electricity, it just stops working and before you know it, your house has burned down. Total carnage. Keen to avoid any frazzled members, we have only deemed it safe enough to publish this post tonight. As soon as you see the video, you’ll understand why.




In this video, you’ll be able to find out a bit more about the UK tour planned for later this year (and exclusively confirmed to TT), hear Justin dish the dirt on celebrity gossip monger Perez Hilton (albeit after a very awkward interlude where we have to describe almost every moment of their meeting to try and help Justin remember anything), and you can also be the first in the world to discover – after a dramatic pause – what Bieber’s favourite sandwich is. It’s the news everyone wants to hear.

Finally, Justin tells us all about his meeting with US President Barack Obama. We’re going to let you all have a think about Justin’s opinions on the world’s most powerful man. Did he either:
a. talk in great detail about the current healthcare reforms in the US, explaining why he thinks they’re a great idea, even going as far as to suggest some pointers as to how the bill could be improved? Or did he…
b. say that Obama was “really nice.”

I know, tough call right? You’ll have to watch the video below to find out the conclusion to that riddle.
