By Jocelyn Vena Justin Bieber (file) Photo: Getty Images About a year ago, Justin Bieber made headlines when he lopped off his famous locks in favor of a shorter do. Now, almost 12 months later, he’s once again making some hair-related headlines. So, what has Bieber done now that has everyone buzz ing? Well, over the weekend, the Biebs was spotted in Los Angeles donning much darker hair than his trademark sandy blond. When Bieber cut off his hair last year, MTV News spoke to his hairstylist, Vanessa Price , who told us about his new look, noting that it had a lot to do with Bieber’s growing pains. “We knew it was going to be a big deal,” Price explained. “We knew it was going to shock fans, but we also knew it was going to be a change in terms of growing up. I think that’s something that people adjust to. “We’d been talking about it for a while and shared some ideas, but literally the day of he was adamant about the haircut. He amped himself up for it,” Price continued, before describing his momentary hesitation. “The minute we started cutting, he was like, ‘Wait, wait, wait.’ He loves it. He’s enjoying it.” The new hair color coincides with his girlfriend Selena Gomez’s hairstyle changes. She recently tweeted a photo of herself sporting multi-colored highlights in her hair. Bieber’s new look may be part of a makeover for his upcoming album, Believe, slated for release later this year. He confirmed last week that Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am will appear on the album. Not only does Bieber want to grow up when it comes to his look but also when it comes to his music. “The only conversation we’ve had about Justin’s album that we’re about to do is it’s really important that it’s the proper transition, because we’ve seen him [with] ‘Baby,’ now we’re watching him grow up,” Bieber’s longtime vocal producer Kuk Harrell told MTV News in November. “And we can’t just throw him into the adult game right away. It has to be the proper transition.” Related Photos Justin Bieber’s Famous Former Hair Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez: A Look Back In Photos Related Artists Justin Bieber

‘Contraband’ Sweeps Weekend Box Office

Re-release of ‘Beauty and the Beast’ takes #2 spot over four-day weekend. By Ryan J. Downey Mark Wahlberg and Ben Foster in “Contraband” Photo: Universal Pictures This weekend, moviegoers decided that for Mark Wahlberg, nothing is forbidden. “Contraband” was the #1 movie in America with a solid $28.8 million debut over the four-day weekend, according to studio estimates. The action thriller, which takes places in the world of drug-smuggling, beat Disney’s 3-D re-release of 1991’s “Beauty and the Beast,” which opened to $23.5 million. Wahlberg’s latest (a remake of an Icelandic flick) kicked off with a stronger opening weekend than his multiple Oscar winner “The Fighter” or previous action flicks “Max Payne” (2008) and “Shooter” (2007). The film has a “rotten” 48 percent score on film review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes, but audiences who saw it gave it an “A-” CinemaScore. “Beauty and the Beast” is off to a great start despite following last year’s $29.3 million debut of Disney’s 3-D re-release “The Lion King.” (“The Lion King” made more than $422 million its first time around, while “Beast” took in less than half that amount.) The re-release will be followed by 3-D versions of fellow Disney classics “Finding Nemo,” “Monsters Inc.” and “The Little Mermaid” over the next two years. The weekend’s other new wide release, “Joyful Noise” (starring Queen Latifah and country music legend Dolly Parton), opened in fourth place with a lackluster $13.8 million. But it was last weekend’s #1 movie that suffered the biggest disappointment: “The Devil Inside” earned just $9.2 million over the four-day weekend, down 72 percent from its debut. That’s an incredibly steep drop, even for a horror flick, no doubt due to the film’s 6 percent Tomatometer rating and unusually low CinemaScore of “F.” But thanks to its big opening, the low-budget indie’s $46.3 million total is still more than the entire runs of “The Rite,” “Devil” or “The Last Exorcism.” Box-office receipts were up 4 percent this holiday weekend compared to last year. Tom Cruise’s “Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol” earned the #3 spot as it collected another $14.2 million for a total domestic gross of nearly $190 million. “Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows” was #5 with $10.5 million for a domestic total of $172.1 million for the Robert Downey, Jr.-led sequel. This weekend’s new releases will include “Underworld Awakening”; Steven Soderbergh’s action flick “Haywire” starring Channing Tatum, Ewan McGregor and MMA champion / first-time actress Gina Sirico; the George Lucas-produced WWII flick “Red Tails”; and the limited release of Mexican drama “Miss Bala,” among others. “Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close,” which earned a Critics’ Choice Award for young star Thomas Horn, will expand into wider release.
