Justin Bieber Vaults into 2nd on Twitter List, Lady Gaga is Tops

Justin Bieber has passed Britney Spears and sits second with the most Twitter followers. Lady Gaga still leads and Barack Obama is fourth.

Justin Bieber is now the planet's second most twittered human as on Tuesday Jan. 4 2011 he vaulted past Britney Spears in the Most Twitter Followers category. Bieber sits now right in behind the leader, Stefani Germanotta, a.k.a. Lady Gaga. Spears is now in third.

Both Gaga and Bieber are hot commodities that have taken off in 2010 as Famecount, an online site that tabulates such statistics, notes that Lady Gaga herself only overtook Spears in August of 2010 and that Bieber, who at this moment sits at 6,514,615 followers, had only one million at the start of that year.

Counting Fame: Barack Obama Behind Justin Bieber
Famecount's website says that it "...aims to help you locate and connect with the Stars in each of the major social networks (currently Facebook, Twitter and YouTube)" and that it is an independent company and not affiliated with Twitter, Youtube, Facebook or any service.

The Twitter graph kept at Famecount shows that out of the Top Ten being followed by Twitter users on Earth, seven are women. Bieber is keeping pretty good company on the chart as another male making the top ten happens to be the U.S. President, Barack Obama, who sits in fourth place, as of this writing with 6,225,466 Twitter followers. Ashton Kutcher is the other male in the top ten in fifth.

Other women in that top ten are actress Kim Kardashian (6th), Ellen DeGeneres (7th), Katy Perry (8th), Taylor Swift (9th) and Oprah Winfrey (10th). Selena Gomez, recently seen in photographs in a bikini getting cozy with Bieber on a yacht - reportedly in St. Lucia, Bermuda - is down the list in 19th.

Bieber's Fame: Diminish or Grow?
Now that the 16-year-old Bieber appears to be in an intimate relationship with the 18-year-old Gomez, this after both denied it, his numbers may decrease as there has been negative reaction from his fans. But like Gaga, who has a new album, Born This Way, coming out May 23, Bieber is also constantly keeping himself in the news with releases, appearances and tweets.


The Canadian singer and celebrity, who lead the world in most Youtube views in 2010, also has a major release upcoming, a 3D documentary called Never Say Never that was directed by John Chu and that comes out on Valentine's Day, February 14 2011.

From Lady Gaga to Larry King
Lady Gaga's leading numbers are 7,587,933 followers. Sitting in 100th place is the departing host of Larry King Live ,Larry King, with 1,755,107 Twitter followers as of this writing.

Justin Bieber wants to be the next Michael Jackson

Justin Bieber's goal in life is to reach the same level of fame as his idol Michael Jackson.

The teenage pop star cites the "Thriller" hitmaker as his greatest influence, and admits he strives to emulate Jackson's success as an entertainer.

And Bieber hopes his music will eventually reach a wider audience so he can be appreciated by fans of all ages.

He tells Vanity Fair magazine, "Music is music, and I'm definitely influenced by Michael Jackson...

"Michael was able to reach audiences from young to old; he never limited himself. He was so broad, everybody loved him, and that's what my goal is - to basically make people happy, to inspire them, and to have everyone root for me."

And Bieber hopes more men will start listening to his music, adding, "For younger guys, it's like (they think) they're not cool if they come to my concert. That'll (change), I think; it'll happen, maybe when I'm 18. But meanwhile all their girlfriends are coming to watch me."

Is Demi Lovato Dating Justin Bieber? What Happened To Demi’s Twitter Page?

Demi Lovato has been romantically linked with a number of people including Trace Cyrus and Joe Jonas, but now Demi is taking a chance with a younger man, 16 year old Justin Bieber.


Could this be a match made in heaven? A source told Life & Style, “She’s not shy about talking about their relationship. Demi said Justin was very mature for his age.”

The source continued, “She was shocked at what a good kisser he was.”

Despite rumors of a relationship with Justin Bieber, Lovato, 18, recently twitted that she was engaged and quickly retracted the rumor, saying it was just a ‘joke.’ Now her Twitter page – @ddlovato – has went blank and gives off the error message Sorry! That Page Doesn’t Exist.. Some people think that her Twitter page was hacked, while others believe it was her choice to quit the social networking website.

What are your thoughts on Demi Lovatos’s love connection with Justin Bieber and her missing Twitter page? Do you think she’s abandoned the internet to pursue a secret love with Justin Bieber?

Justin Bieber to Embarrass Major League Baseball

In 2007 the New York Yankees' Alex Rodriguez announced he was opting out of his contract during Game 4 of the World Series, and a lot of people got mad that A-Rod was taking attention away from baseball. Well, that particular contentious incident will seem like a mere trifle compared to what's going down Saturday: Before Game 3 between the Giants and Rangers, during Fox's preshow, Justin Bieber will be premiering his music video for "Never Say Never." (The video was shot at Angels Stadium, and in it Bieber "sports gear from both teams.") But here's the problem: Once that level of advanced Bieber entertainment is introduced to impressionable baseball viewers, will anyone even bother sticking around to watch the inevitable let-down of a game? Expect all-time World Series ratings lows, MLB. 

Justin Bieber overjoys fans in Ontario on Sunday

Just before the last song of Justin Bieber's main set in Ontario, while the teen idol slipped into position to magically appear amid billowing fog at the keys of a white baby grand, the DJ in his band shouted out a question to the fans that filled almost every seat of Citizen's Business Bank Arena on Sunday.
A simple query – "Who came here to fall in love with Justin Bieber tonight!?!?" – that produced the most deafening screams from a crowd made up mostly of daughters and moms who were predisposed to shriek at the slightest provocation.

Justin takes his jacket off – pandemonium! Toddler Justin sings the ABC song in a home-movie video montage – ecstasy! Justin points to the fans on one side of the arena – they roar! – and then the opposite – they roar more!
All of which makes the Bieb, who plays at Honda Center in Anaheim on Wednesday, bulletproof to criticism. Fans of the 16-year-old love him so blindly that if you point out a flaw – perhaps that his vocals can sometimes sound over-processed or thin – fans just don't care.
So let's start this thing off by noting the obvious: If you bought a ticket to this show, you almost certainly went home overjoyed by what you got in the course of 19 songs and 90 minutes, a show that featured Bieber singing and dancing and floating above the arena, home movies and family photos, and two guest turns by Jaden Smith, the Karate Kid himself.
The show opened with "Love Me," a typically catchy Bieber pop song that cleverly co-opts the Cardigans' "Lovefool" for the chorus, and found the pint-sized pop star marching in formation with his backup dancers, before dispatching them all with mock martial arts moves.
After noting that Ontario, Calif,. was founded by people from Ontario, Canada, where he comes from, Bieber slowed things down for a ballad, "U Smile," which had every girl in the arena singing along on its chorus of "When you smile I smile."
The set design offered plenty of room for Bieber to move around, with a second-floor ramp above the band and platforms jutting out to either side. But the big showpiece props were a handful of metal cages in which he floated over the arena floor, bringing the Bieber to the people.
The first one arrived early in the show, when he climbed into a heart-shaped contraption and, accompanying himself on acoustic guitar, sang "Never Let You Go" and "Favorite Girl" while slowly gliding midway over the floor. Do we need to tell you that the fans screamed deliriously? No, we do not.
After coming back to earth, Bieber invited a fan onstage to serenade during "One Less Lonely Girl," complete with roses and a hug, sang "Overboard" as a duet with Jessica Jarrell, and – after announcing his motto as "Never Say Never," sang that song, complete with ninja backup dancers and a guest rap by Jaden Smith, star of "The Karate Kid," which used a Justin-Jaden duet on the soundtrack.
The pacing occasionally flagged – there were at least three video interludes, including tons of Bieber baby photos and a public service announcement not to text and drive, mostly to allow Bieber time to change clothes. And the band and sound mix sometimes overwhelmed his vocals, which don't come nearly as sweetly sung as in their studio versions. But then you have to remember the kid is just 16 years old, selling out arenas and clearly giving millions of fans exactly what they want.
The night wrapped up with a burst of energy: opening act Sean Kingston, whose set was very well received, came back to duet on "Eenie Meenie" before an encore of "Speaking In Tongues" – Bieber's unlikely rap song – and finally the big hit, "Baby," which sent all those little girls (and maybe their mothers, too), home with one more romantic sigh for their boyish heartthrob.

Bieber exacted revenge on enemy by trolling fans

Justin Bieber sent out a simple tweet that says “”Everyone call me 248-417-5346 or text” to his 4.5 million followers and sure enough, the over-excited fans tried to call and sent text messages to the number. The problem was that it wasn’t his number, instead it belonged to his online “enemy” Kevin Kristopik who hacked into Bieber’s best friend twitter account earlier this year and got hold of his personal number.

Kristopik received over 26,000 texts and he had to cancel his number and delete his twitter account. Though it was a naughty move because he was using his popularity (and fans) to get his revenge, it was kinda slick because not many of other boys can do that.

Anyway, I have a feeling this won’t stop and Bieber has created himself an arch-nemesis and given his unpopularity with teenage boys, he has made more enemies now who will try to top this act.

The following video was posted by Kristopik showing how his phone was jammed with messages from Bieber’s fans.

Justin Bieber: Impish star throws water balloon at trooper

Justin Bieber, the pocket sized Canadian singer is at his impish best these days. Thoroughly, enjoying fame and stardom, he is carelessly flaunting his mischievous side much to the delight of his frenzied fans.
And, for his this act, he almost got arrested. It so happened that Justin threw a water balloon at a US State trooper ahead of a sold out gig at the Maryland State Fair last Sunday. Justin did proper practising ultimately mastering his aim and finally throwing a couple of balloons at the trooper. While one just brushed past his chest, the other hit him in the belt region, burst and wetted the area.

A furious trooper, he was about to arrest Justin but the latter’s bodyguard talked him out. Local news station WBALTV reports Justin was “horsing around with members of his staff outside a trailer, when one of the balloons hit a trooper’s gun belt and burst, and the other brushed a trooper on the chest but didn’t burst.”
Though, Justin escaped legal action, his behaviour didn’t go down well with the authorities. Meanwhile, laidback and nonchalant, a cool Justin tweeted, ‘still laughing. Great day.’

Justin Bieber: The 16 year dynamite explodes

Justin Bieber is merely 16 and short and small often referred to as a pocket-sized singer. The Baby singer Justin may be small and pint sized but when it comes to talent and popularity, he is no less than a dynamite. And in, what may be called an explosive year, the singer has sold 4 million albums over the globe.

He has sold 3.2 million copies of My World (released in November, 2009) and My World 2.0 (unleashed this March) in US alone and is spiralling upwards with a hurricane speed. He is popular amongst the online enthusiasts which is evident from his gigantic number of followers in facebook and twitter. Add to that the fact that there has been 7.7 million downloads of his song and what you get is a singer rocketing to the pinnacle of glory.
And, he recently realized his dream when his concert at New York’s Madison Square Garden was a sold out phenomenon. Bieber’s manager Scooter Braun cites with a hint of pride and contentment, “Madison Square Garden was a big milestone. Justin is a kid who grew up in public housing with a single mom. He always said selling out the Garden was his dream. It’s a real rags-to-riches story, and shows where Justin came from and the hard work that got him to where he is now.”
So, have you been infected with the Bieber Fever?

ROLL CALL: Is Justin Bieber Responsible For Twitter’s Fail Whale?

Biebs Is Taxing Twitter!: Justin Bieber has over 5 million Twitter followers and according to one employee of the micro-blogging website, he takes up a lot of the company’s space. “At any moment, Justin Bieber uses 3% of our infrastructure. Racks of servers are dedicated to him,” Twitter employee Dustin Curtis Tweeted this week, quoting an unnamed co-worker. Dustin confirmed his Tweet to tech blog Gizmodo, saying the Biebs Twitter power Tweet was no joke – and neither are the millions of teens Tweeting about the wonders of the Biebs – just ask Kim Kardashian.

Justin Bieber + Cheryl Cole + Katy Perry= Love Triangle

Justin Bieber had, only a few days back, cited that he admires Cheryl Cole and Katy Perry and wish that they were younger. And now it seems that Bieber has some competition as far as Cheryl is concerned.
Katy Perry finds Cheryl mesmerizing and had she been not into a relationship with Russell Brand (her fiancé), she would have had no qualms in even bedding Cheryl. Katy was recently a guest judge alongside Cheryl and Simon Cowell on the reality show ‘The X Factor’ and tongues were wagging linking Simon and Katy up.

However, Katy is more interested in Cheryl than in Simon. She cites, “I adore Cheryl – she’s amazing. I’m very happy with my own English stud but if I wasn’t with him (Russell Brand) I’d be trying to date Cheryl. Nobody should be as beautiful as she is. I know people get turned on by Simon’s power but if I was single I’d rather sleep with Cheryl than Simon.”
Is she snubbing Simon Cowell? Perhaps, Simon may feel slightly offended that Katy is ready to go into a lesbian relationship than to date him. But poor Justin Bieber! Unable to find a single girl who’s his age….. Miley not counted………

Justin Bieber’s Fans Freak Out At His Huge NYC Concert!

Justin Bieber Back To Performing After Illness

Justin Bieber may have canceled his show Sunday night after being struck down by an illness, but he's bounced back and is ready to headline a show in New York. The VMA-nominated teen star tweeted that he has been cleared by his doctors to perform on Tuesday night (August 31) at Madison Square Garden, where he will film part of his upcoming 3-D movie.

"Ok the doctor said we aren't 100 percent but we are ready to ROcK!! Been cleared. MSG let's do this!!!" he tweeted on Monday. "Let's fill the streets of NYC! Rehearsals tonight were incredible...got off to a rocky start because wasnt feeling right but then after lunch kicked in. 2morrow at MSG!! Thanks to everyone who came to help today...this movie is coming together."

Fans in attendance on Tuesday will get the chance to be a part of his 3-D movie, which made Bieber seem genuinely excited. "2morrow let's fill the streets of NYC with Purple and even if you dont have tix we will b celebratin n maybe u might just find ur way inside," he wrote. "Tomorrow is a celebration....we are living a dream and playing MADISON SQUARE GARDEN in NYC!! WHO IS COMING!!?!?!? SEE U THERE!!!!!"

Rumors have been circulating for weeks that other celebrities will make cameos at the show, and among the big names in the rumor mill is "Never Say Never" guest Jaden Smith. "Special security arrangements are being made for Jaden, who will appear onstage, and his family, including [his father] Will, to be in the audience for the concert," a source told the New York Post.

Earlier this month, the film's director, Jon Chu, spoke to MTV News about the flick. "[It's] a movie for his fans, a movie for people who don't know him, and we're gonna tell the underdog story of where he came from," he explained.

"Because it's a really fascinating story and it has a lot to do with our sort of digital lifestyle now. He was able to do what corporations try to do now when they use YouTube and they don't even know what to do with it yet. It's a pretty cool story for our time."

Kim Kardashian says she’d date Justin Bieber ‘if he was of legal age’

Appearing on Lopez Tonight Tuesday, Kim Kardashian dished about her photo shoot co-star Justin Bieber and the Bill O’Reilly criticism it drew.

When asked if she would ever date the pop sensation, Kardashian said according to E! News, “if he was of legal age.” She added, “He definitely has this swag to him."

During an Aug. 21 episode of The O’Reilly Factor, host Bill O’Reilly said he had a problem with Kardashian and Bieber’s Elle photoshoot inspired by The Graduate.

“I don’t care about this Justin Bieber, he looks like Ringo Starr to me. I don’t know the other one, she’s in the water with the dress, what does that mean? I don’t know." He added, “I’ll tell you this. If a 16 year-old girl was pictured with a 29 year-old man in any of that, they’d be in big trouble.”

During the segment O’Reilly speculated that Kardashian was “I guess 42 or something like that.”

Kardashian’s response? "I thought the shoot was all in fun, we had a good time. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion on it."

Justin Bieber wants on 'The X Factor,' is 'seriously looking' for a girlfriend

Justin Bieber is a relative newcomer to the music world, but he still thinks he has some advice to offer aspiring stars. Are you listening, Simon Cowell?

"I think Simon Cowell is great," Justin says in an interview with The Sun in London, adding that he hopes to work with the ex-"American Idol" judge on his next TV project: "Some people might not like getting advice from a guy my age, but 'The X Factor' is coming to the U.S. and I would love to do a guest judging slot."

The Biebster also shares his thoughts on his ideal woman in the interview. He cites Katy Perry and Cheryl Cole as having a lot of the things he's looking for.

"Cheryl Cole and Katy Perry are two of the hottest girls in the world -- and so normal and funny with it," he says. "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.

"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."

We're expecting word from Kim Kardashian's camp any time now, but in the meanwhile Justin says he's "seriously looking" for a girlfriend.

"The problem is when I meet a girl, I don't know if she likes me or if she likes the lifestyle," he tells The Sun. "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."

Good luck with that, Justin.

Justin Bieber wishes Katy Perry good luck for Teen Choice Awards

Teen singing sensation Justin Bieber will have a role at the 2010 Teen Choice Awardstaping Sunday, even if he isn't even there to present or pick up one of the famous surfboard trophies.

Then again, Justin doesn't need to, as Shaquille O'Neal recently announced Justin's four victories at one of his concert events in Arizona. Bieber won't be in attendance due to his concert obligations around the country, but that isn't stopping him from wishing host Katy Perry good luck. Justin posted the following on his Twitter account Sunday:

"have fun 2nite @katyperry ....I know u will kick some arse hosting at the TCA's - that is how ur british man says it right? arse. good luck"

'Hard Times of RJ Berger' Owe It to Justin Bieber for Renewal

Justin Bieber may not realize that his power affects TV shows too. The pop star is partly responsible for the renewal of MTV's scripted comedy "The Hard Times of RJ Berger" which he mentioned on Twitter once. The music channel has given the show a second season after it receives an increase of 31% in rating.

Statistically "Berger" performed quite mild in the first half of season 1. But after the July 19 tweet by Bieber in which he said, "Just met the guys who created that new show on @MTV 'The Hard Times of #RJBerger' - good dudes. Show's on tonight at 10pm. Funny stuff," the rating went up by 9% that night. Then the next week, it absorbed even larger audience with 14% increase.

"We have been so heavily branded as a reality network [that] it will take a beat for our viewers to embrace this new diverse slate on the channel. That's why we are so thrilled by the response to Hard Times," MTV President of Programming Tony DiSanto told TV Guide.

Bieber himself has not responded on Twitter but his rep told EW the singer is "happy he could help good people...if he helped at all."

"Berger" will return on August 23 with 12 additional episodes.

Justin Bieber - Justin Bieber Pranked Akon

Justin Bieber loves making prank calls and recently called singer Akon and pretended to be his illegitimate son.

Justin Bieber pretended to be Akon's illegitimate son.

The 16-year-old singer prank-called the music star after stealing his number from the phone of his manager Scooter.

Scooter recalled: "He was like, 'Daddy, why don't you love me?' It really scared the s**t out of Akon!"

Justin was later asked about his telephone tricks by a fan on twitter and admitted making joke calls to people is one of his favourite pastimes.

He tweeted: "R u Kidding of course I do!! I prank everyone!! No 1 is safe :) (sic)"

Although Justin is constantly surrounded by his management, bodyguards and publicist, the 'Baby' singer has also admitted he sometimes feels overwhelmed by the devotion he is shown by his friends.

He told New York magazine: "It's definitely amazing to me that I have such amazing fans. But, like, at the same time, I mean. I'm claustrophobic, really bad. I don't like to be closed in."

Despite his comments, the singer is keen to stay close to his admirers, particularly his female fans.

He tweeted: "hello girls... i think we should all hang out very soon... all of us... together... often. ;) (sic)"

Is Justin Bieber Leading Teens Into Sin?

The latest target of the wack-a-doodles from the Westboro Baptist Church -- who protest the funerals of American soldiers -- is none other than our own, beloved Justin Bieber.

Awww, Westboro -- what did the Biebester ever do to you?

The Westboro Baptist Church is infamous for protesting the most inappropriate events, like the aforementioned military funerals and the memorial service of Matthew Shepard, all while brandishing vile, incendiary signs, like their emblematic “God Hates Fags” poster they’re forever waving around.

So why are they picking on poor Bieber? Well, here’s the official word from “pastor” Fred Phelps and the charmers of his “church,” as stated on their website: “(Bieber) has a platform given to him by God to speak to this world; he has a duty to teach obedience by his actions and words. He refuses to do that because he knows his concert halls would be empty! So, he teaches you to sin and rebel against God’s commandments.”

Um, not sure how windswept hair and bubblegum pop is rebelling against God’s commandments, but whatever.

After taking Bieber to task on their website, they protested outside his concert at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, waving their hateful signs.
