As a photographer in London found out a couple months ago, and then a neighbor discovered in Calabasas soon afterward, Justin Bieber can become quite animated at times. But the superstar will literally become a cartoon this Sunday when he cameos on The Simpsons , stopping by the Fox sitcom as himself on “The Fabulous Faker Boy.” As producer Al Jean teases to Entertainment Weekly, Bieber will attempt to enter a Springfield talent show, only “they won’t admit him.” The nerve! Get your first look at Bieber on the iconic program now and then visit our friends at TV Fanatic for an updated section of The Simpsons quotes .
It’s the perennial talk of the political world, but Bill Clinton is less than decisive about the prospect of his wife, Hillary Clinton, running for president in 2016. “She hasn’t mentioned it to me,” Clinton said of the Hillary 2016 buzz when asked at the Peter G. Peterson Foundation’s 2013 Fiscal Summit in D.C. “I don’t know what’s going to happen, but I know this: that is the worst expenditure of our time,” he said, adding that it’s “frustrating” to be talking politics. “She’s taking a role in the foundation, she’s writing books, she’s having a little fun being a private citizen for the first time in 20 years,” Clinton said. “We need to be worried about the work at hand right now. All of us do.” “That way, whoever the next president is has an easier set of choices.” Good point, but still … since we’re on the topic: Hillary in 2016? Gosh yes! Please run, Hill! We’ll see who else runs. Gosh, no! UGH. View Poll »
Kim Kardashian has always tried to stay healthy, but now that she’s eating for both herself and expecting a girl (supposedly), it’s doubly important, says she. With the Kim Kardashian baby bump showing more each day, the importance of taking care of herself and her baby grows, she writes on her blog. “Keeping a healthy lifestyle has always been important to me,” she says. “And now [maintaining a well-balanced eating and fitness plan] is even more important since I’m looking out for someone else’s well being other than just my own.” KK says she’s been researching a lot of foods beforehand to make sure she gets the proper amount of nutrition “now that I’m eating for two” and she adds : “My friend Harley Pasternak sent me this book [ The Body Diet Reset ] … [It] will give you the tools you need to restart the way you are eating and boost your metabolism.” “I just love his recipes and I know you guys will too!” P.S. Like everything else, I was paid to say that.
NFL star Michael Vick says he won’t be bullied by a spate of recent death threats, but he has canceled his upcoming book tour in the wake of them. The once-imprisoned QB and author of Finally Free: An Autobiography says he will continue his work with community service organizations, too. Vick nixed his book tour after “credible threats” were called in to several Barnes & Noble stores across the country, but “won’t let this control his life.” Michael’s rep says, “Regardless of the past threats, he has millions of fans around the world and has been receiving countless messages of support.” “He will continue to keep an active schedule working with charities.” Mike Vick will continue to work with the Team Freedom Outreach (recreation and visitation programs for youth detention centers) and the VFW organization. He also has several security measures in place in case more threats are made and plans on giving police a heads up before he visits the centers. “Mike is committed to helping make his community a better place,” Vick’s rep says. “[he] is determined to continue his work with charity and helping others.”
Pepsi Max and NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon have teamed up for a viral ad in which Jeff disguises himself as a regular guy looking to test drive a Camaro. The poor car salesman may never be the same. Jeff Gordon Test Drive “It’s got some power, so just get a feel for it.” The 41-year-old, unassuming 5’8″ Gordon already fits the average Joe mold, but the cheesy goatee really makes the look. As for his driving skills? Let’s just say those moves aren’t street legal. The ad is a takeoff on last year’s Kyrie Irving spot, in which the Cleveland Cavaliers guard dressed as an old man and owned guys on the playground. Both are pretty classic.
There have been presumptions that former First Lady, Senator and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will make another White House run come 2016. She leads a recent 2016 presidential poll (yes, there was one), and given her resume and name recognition at this point, that’s not a real surprise. But this is: Another, even more intriguing idea floating around the web this week is that current FLOTUS Michelle Obama could be her running mate. “All due respect for President Obama and Vice President Biden, but that would truly be a dream team,” former Clinton spokeswoman Karen Finney said. “Both women are proven leaders who’ve raised children, so dealing with Congress would be a snap!” she added, having apparently never seen Congress. Democratic strategist Chris Lehane also said that “this reflects the growing awareness that it is time for the glass ceiling of the last old boys club to be firmly shattered.” “I look forward to the day when a woman can run for the presidency without so much parody and fanfare,” ex-Al Gore campaign manager Donna Brazile said. A recent poll from Qunnipiac University found that in a hypothetical presidential race, Hillary Clinton would likely trump any Democratic challengers. “Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would start a 2016 presidential campaign with enormous advantages,” said Qunnipiac’s Peter A. Brown. “She obviously is by far the best known and her more than 20 years in the public spotlight allows her to create a very favorable impression on the American people.” As for Michelle Obama joining the ticket? We’d put the chances of that at just above microscopic, but a future run for office could be more likely. Clinton ran for U.S. Senate in the last year of husband Bill’s presidency, serving from 2001-2009 before joining the Obama administration as its top diplomat. Most likely, if she’s interested in politics at all beyond 2016, Michelle would follow that blueprint. Until then, let the speculation continue to run rampant.
There’s jet lag, and there’s jet lag after visiting more than 100 countries in four years, at which point no coffee, Red Bull or Five Hour Energy is gonna get it done. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton looked like she hit a wall right in the middle of President Obama’s speech in Myanmar on Monday, falling asleep briefly. Watch: Clinton Falls Asleep in Myanmar While Hillary, who sat next to Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi, likely wishes she hadn’t nodded off, she shouldn’t worry all that much considering: She helped broker an Israel-Hamas cease fire 48 hours later. Obama does kinda tend to drag these things out sometimes. Soon she can sleep for 2-3 years prior to the 2016 election .
