Justin Bieber’s Early Drummer Days Featured In ‘Never Say Never’

Friends and family talk about Bieber’s evolution as a drummer in new clip from upcoming 3-D film. By Terri Schwartz Justin Bieber in “Justin Bieber: Never Say Never” Photo: Paramount Pictures The February 11 release of John Chu’s 3-D doc “Justin Bieber: Never Say Never” is fast approaching, and in addition to the Biebs’ many tweets about the flick, we now have another glimpse at what it has in store for eager fans. A new clip from the film shows how Bieber’s talent for drums surfaced at a young age. It’s also full of more cute Bieber baby videos . “He never had any lessons or anything. I just never thought of it being anything other than for fun,” Bieber’s mother, Pattie Malette, says in the clip. Bieber’s drum collection quickly expanded from a handheld drum to a mini drum kit, and eventually, his family friends held a benefit concert and raised enough money to buy the young prodigy his own set of Pearl drums. The 16-year-old pop star made waves at the 2010 VMAs when he rocked out on the drums during his amplified set. He also showed off his skills on the skins at the 2009 Jingle Ball in Sacramento , where he played an impressive drum solo during Cobra Starship’s performance. Starship frontman Gabe Saporta, who had been trying to challenge Bieber to a dance off, tweeted after the fact, “Justin Bieber smoked me hard tonight. He couldn’t win the dance off. But he shredded a gnarly drum solo. I back this kid on the real. Legit.” Bieber wouldn’t be the first artist to start out behind the kit before his vocal capabilities propelled him to the spotlight. He joins the powerful ranks of drummers-turned-singers such as Dave Grohl, Phil Collins, Karen Carpenter, Ringo Starr and Tommy Lee.

Justin Bieber Rocks Old-School Swagger In VMA Set

Teen sensation brings fan frenzy to the big stage. By Mawuse Ziegbe Justin Bieber performs at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards Photo: MTV News Days after Justin Bieber previewed his MTV Video Music Awards performance for a few unsuspecting fans in Los Angeles, the teen sensation made sure everyone within earshot took notice of his VMA debut. Introduced by sexpot Kim Kardashian, who joked about working around a restraining order against the teen superstar, the Biebs pulled up to the outdoor stage in a shiny red old-school convertible chased by dozens of hysterical fans. The teen star then bounded onto a stage ringed with screaming fans, and in a move laced with easy ’50s teen-idol cool, ripped off his red letterman jacket and shades and launched into his YouTube record-shattering hit “Baby.” Flanked by a crew of backup dancers decked out in red lettered cardigans, the 16-year-old hitmaker updated the performance’s throwback vibe, tossing on a black bedazzled jacket with “Bieber” emblazoned on the back. He then went into another signature smash, “Somebody to Love,” this time joined by a crew of pint-size backup dancers even more baby-faced than the teen singer. Known for his sweet vocals and safe persona, Bieber took the final moments of his debut VMA set to rock the hell out. The pop megastar jumped on a nearby kit and wrapped up the performance with a drum solo, pounding away on the skins as his dancers and fans pumped him up and ropes of red and black streamers showered the crowd. The Canadian phenom’s big night isn’t over. Bieber is still up for the Best New Artist Moonman , which is slated to be announced later in the show.

Jessica Simpson set out to challenge the concept of beauty ever since she ran out of other career options endured that chili cookoff mom jeans debacle last year. Her boldest step yet? Going makeup-free in Marie Claire . “I don’t have anything to prove anymore,” she said, and not because we know she’s sexual napalm in the bedroom. “What other people think is not my business.” The Price of Beauty star says what prompted her to show “the real her,” wearing no makeup at all and even air-drying her hair for the shoots, is a simple desire. Inspired by her very own A Beautiful Me initiative, which encourages women to be comfortable in their skins, Jessica Simpson wants to prove real beauty lies within. That’s totally what made her a celebrity, and what she’s promoted in music, TV and film vehicles throughout her career too. The importance of inner beauty . No retouching. No regrets. Still low cut.
