BREAKING: Justin Bieber Does Not Feel Threatened by Zac Efron, Hair-wise

Getty Images and Photo Agency. Bieber is “just chilling.” Justin Bieber 's hair is its own institution these days, despite the fact that the Canadian teen has barely been on America's radar for longer than a couple of months. He's not the first young man to make girls scream with the shake of his head – nor will he be the last – but his signature 'do has earned him comparisons to another big name in the world of teen-centric entertainment: Zac Efron. Bieber told T Magazine (via PeopleStyleWatch ) that the method to his shaggy coif is really quite simple: “I'd love to be able to say it was complicated, but I'm just chilling. My hair takes five minutes in the morning. I shower and as soon as I get out I just shake it and it just does that. For real.” As for the Efron comparisons, Bieber isn't saying who has the better head of hair. “I'll let you decide. But all I'll say is that it's no competition.” Oh SNAP, Bieber! First Mariah, now Zac? Harsh. But the real question is… More pictures of Justin Bieber: Also on Zimbio: 25 Stars to Watch Under 25 Young celebs destined for long, prolific careers in the spotlight.

MTV’s Musical March Madness: The Second Round Begins!

Shocking upsets, Cinderella teams rule first round of our band bracketology, in Bigger Than the Sound. By James Montgomery Tokio Hotel Photo: Interscope/Getty Images/MTV News I’m going to be honest: I didn’t expect this — any of this — to happen. Last week, when I wrote my “Musical March Madness” column , I did it mostly because I love college basketball, gambling and superfluous list-making. I made my selections largely at random. I left out a whole bunch of bands I probably shouldn’t have (Linkin Park, Trent Reznor/Nine Inch Nails — two powerhouses inexplicably relegated to the NIT, sort of like North Carolina and UConn). I drew up a bracket by hand, for crying out loud. I was not prepared for what happened next. Somehow, my sprawling, slightly stupid project became a fairly big deal, getting coverage on places like NPR and even The Ethiopian Review, and inspiring bands to rally their fanbases to help them advance. In the end, there were hundreds of thousands of votes being cast on the Newsroom blog, some genuine rage, and a whole lot of upsets in the first round of the tourney. Needless to say, I’m pretty amazed by all the attention it got, not to mention all the brackets I received from readers: well thought-out, carefully crafted things with lengthy explanations of picks (“Petite-but-voluble Pete Wentz makes it to the Sweet 16 before being muscled out by Detroit’s own White Stripes, who go on to win the region over the very entertaining but predictable [read: West Virginia] Foo Fighters”)

Jesus Makes You Fat

FOOD BUZZ : A Dr. Oz-like analysis of 52 paintings depicting the Last Supper finds that Jesus' portion control is severely lacking. As in, his plate has grown 62% in the last thousand years. Memo to JC: it takes your stomach 20 minutes to realize it's full. Eat slowly, and stop eating when you're full. Pretty sure I read all that in Acts. The Best Links: A breakdown of 4 paintings. A video lecture! Using computer aided design technology, the brothers compared the size of the portions, bread and plates with the average size of the heads in 52 paintings. Entrees increased 69 percent in size during the 1,000 years, plate size 66 percent and bread size 23 percent, the Wansinks reported in a study published in the April edition of The International Journal of Obesity. “I think people assume that increased serving sizes, or ‘portion distortion,’ is a recent phenomenon,” said Brian Wansink, director of the Cornell University Food and Brand Lab and author of “Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think.” “But this research indicates that it’s a general trend for at least the last millennium.” But maybe it’s worth entertaining another hypothesis: that the images we see—and the Last Supper is one of the more ubiquitous art images in the Western world—subliminally affect our notion of what’s a portion size. the Mindless Eating site The International Journal of Obesity, where the article cannot be found.

Sarah Palin’s Reality Series Headed To Discovery

‘Sarah Palin’s Alaska’ will focus on the characters, traditions and attractions of the former governor’s home state. By Eric Ditzian Sarah Palin Photo: Bill Pugliano/Getty Images Sarah Palin has been actively shopping a reality show to networks and cable channels since early March. Variety is now reporting that Discovery Communications has bought the series, called “Sarah Palin’s Alaska,” for in excess of $1 million per episode. Hosted by the former governor of Alaska, the show will reportedly focus on the characters, traditions and attractions in the U.S.’s northernmost state. Palin had been shopping the series with producer Mark Burnett, the reality show guru behind “Survivor” and “The Apprentice.” After meetings with ABC, CBS and NBC did not produce a deal for the travelogue show, Burnett and Palin turned to cable, with Discovery and A&E emerging as front-runners. A&E reportedly dropped out of the running, leaving Discovery as the winner. At press time, MTV News’ request for comment had not yet been returned by Discovery. The travelogue show fits well with much of Discovery’s programming, which includes other nature-based shows like “American Loggers,” “Man vs. Wild” and “Deadliest Catch,” which is also shot in Alaska. Palin also appeared in the 2008 Discovery documentary “Toughest Race on Earth: Iditarod,” which was shot before she was selected as the Republican vice presidential candidate. The specific Discovery Communications channel — or channels — on which Palin’s show will air remains unknown. In addition to the Discovery Channel, the company owns channels like TLC, Animal Planet and OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network, which is set to launch in January of 2011. Winfrey famously interviewed Palin on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” last November. The former governor of Alaska is currently a political analyst for Fox News.

Star Jones Recovering After Heart Surgery

Former ‘View’ co-host underwent voluntary cardiac surgery one week before her 48th birthday. By Josh Wigler Star Jones Photo: Duffy-Marie Arnoult/ WireImage Television personality Star Jones is recovering from a voluntary cardiac surgery performed Wednesday. Jones, best known for her long-running stint as a co-host on “The View,” underwent treatment as a follow-up to surgery she had 30 years earlier. “On Wednesday, March 17th, a pre-planned cardiac surgery was performed on Star Jones,” representatives for Jones told People magazine in a prepared statement. “This recent surgery is a follow-up to the thoracic surgery she had 30 years ago. The procedure was successful, and she is recovering well with her family. Star is grateful for everyone’s thoughts and prayers.” In the days leading up to her surgery, Jones, 47, hinted about her upcoming plans on Twitter . “It’s clear that God is trying to tell me something and I plan to listen,” she tweeted March 14 in response to a religious service she had attended earlier in the day. “I have a deadline to meet, personal matters to see to and several reasons to celebrate. So starting today, it’s 10 days of focused faith for me.” Following seven days of silence, Jones returned to Twitter on Sunday to thank her fans for their support in light of the surgical procedure. “Thank you for all the good wishes and prayers I feel them all,” she wrote. “By the way who knew ice chips could taste like steak!” Earlier today, Jones addressed the recent passage of health care reform, tweeting : “Can you imagine me trying to recover without health care? Those who voted against it need to [hang] their heads in shame.” Last week’s operation is the latest high-profile medical procedure for Jones, who underwent gastric-bypass surgery in 2003, resulting in a weight loss of 160 pounds. Jones celebrates her 48th birthday on Wednesday.

Justin Bieber: Highlights From His Young Career

We round up a few of the standout moments from Bieber’s career so far. By Jocelyn Vena Justin Bieber performs on “Dick Clarks’ New Years Rockin’ Eve” Photo: Kevin Winter/Getty Images for DCP Over the last eight months or so, Justin Bieber has quickly left his mark on pop culture. With one album released last November, My World, and with another out Tuesday, the aptly titled sophomore release My World 2.0, Bieber is the new reigning teen heartthrob in the pop world. Many MTV viewers were introduced to Bieber last September as fans vied for the chance to get a shout-out from him at the Video Music Awards. And when the competition closed, Tricia Matibag was declared the winner and Bieber gave her big ups at the big show, where he later presented an award with Nickelodeon star Miranda Cosgrove. After gaining a bit of momentum and just weeks after releasing his debut album, a mall appearance in Long Island, New York, was canceled after fans stormed the mall for a chance to see Bieber in person. He later rang in 2010 performing on Dick Clark’s “New Year’s Rockin’ Eve,” and presented at the Grammy Awards a couple months later alongside fellow pop newbie and overnight sensation Ke$ha. He then performed at BET’s “SOS: Help For Haiti” telethon with stars like Wyclef Jean and Diddy who also helped to raise funds for Haiti earthquake relief — he also appeared on the “We Are the World” remake for the same cause. His fame isn’t relegated to North America, though — much like the mall in Long Island, Bieber caused a riot in the streets of Paris , where he was scheduled to make an in-store appearance. He also very famously met up with a crying 3-year-old fan for a segment on Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show. Bieber will release My World 2.0 on Tuesday.
