The Atlanta-based artist released the following statement on the news: “I’m honored that I¹ve been given such a prestigious title and trusted with such responsibility; terrified because I know that playing this role in the fashion of one of my career role models, Mr. Smokey Robinson — these are big shoes to fill. But trust, I can handle it.” For more information on Ne-Yo’s move, head over to Billboard. Congrats to Ne-Yo!

Justin Bieber – Selena Gomez: Paparazzi Make Film Out Of The Singers’ Movie Rendezvous

Posted on January 29, 2011 by | Leave a comment

StarBuzz Weekly, Toronto-January 29, 2011 : Justin Bieber has already bid adieu to the private fun life for some time now and it appears Selena Gomez too have to do that. Recently the alleged couple planned to go on a movie date at the Burbank movie theatre and the paparazzi was there too. In spite of going in incognito into the theatre on Thursday, when they came out watching the R-rated Natalie Portman flick No Strings Attached the photographers were there to make a film out of the young singers. While Selena looked pretty coy and shy as if she has been caught doing something wrong, so when asked about the duo’s relationship status the Disney actress preferred to maintain her silence and head for the car. On the other hand fan and photographer savvy Justin Bieber shouted out “Never Say Never” and even took time to pose with a girl fan for a pic. The 16year old heartthrob then went to the car, maintained his chivalrous attitude and opened the car door for Gomez. Earlier when Selena was asked about her relationship with Bieber, she said he is like her kid brother. But now it seems there is nothing platonic about their relationship and has been rumored to be dating since the later part of 2010. Bieber is coming out with his first film Never Say Never and recently wrapped up the commercial for the Best Buy. The campaign also has Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne and will be aired at the upcoming Super Bowl. The buzz of Justin sending Selena his shirtless pics is also doing the rounds, but none of the singers are ready to admit or talk about their relationship in public. – Sampurn Wire StarBuzz Weekly -Toronto.

Justin Bieber ‘Never Say Never’ Clip: Sneak a Peek at How it All Began

Posted on January 29, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Bieber Fever continues this weekend, as Moviefone proudly unveils an exclusive clip from Justin Bieber’s new 3D concert movie, ‘Never Say Never.’ The clip features an interview with the singing star’s 29-year-old manager, Scott “Scooter” Braun, the Atlanta-based talent promoter who was arrested last year after allegedly failing to help police curb an out-of-control frenzy of Bieber fans at a Long Island mall (the case is ongoing). In ‘Never Say Never,’ Braun recalls the early days of Bieber’s career, when the pop idol (now 16) was winning over DJs in person by performing on radio stations across the country, and building up his famously devoted fan base, one screaming girl at a time, with small live performances. Even better: The clip includes plenty of footage of Bieber crooning, strumming, and dancing, which should be more than enough to get fans to pre-order tickets. Check out the clip after the jump . ‘Justin Bieber: Never Say Never’ (see poster and trailer here on PopEater ) hits theaters on Feb. 11.

Rocko is working on second album while appearing on BET’s ‘Still Standing.’ By Gil Kaufman Monica and Rocko Photo: Frank Micelotta/ Getty Images It’s been a while since we heard from singer Monica . After a platinum-spiked career in the 1990s with hits like “Angel of Mine,” “Don’t Take It Personal” and her duet with Brandy on “The Boy Is Mine,” the 29-year-old singer has struggled to regain momentum after a series of setbacks that included the 2000 suicide of her boyfriend, Jarvis “Knot” Weems, and the reported clashes with her label over her 2006 comeback attempt, The Makings of Me.
