Is Justin Bieber the World’s Biggst Pop Star?

Over the past week, Justin Bieber has chatted with Jay Leno and David Letterman, taped a segment for American Idol , sung at the White House and earned the number-one spot with with his album “My World 2.0.” Not a bad few days for this 16-year old phenom. “What I have is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” Bieber says in the upcoming issue of People , which you can purchase off newsstands Friday. “And I’m having a blast.” As you can see below, the magazine goes on to anoint Justin as World’s Biggest Pop Star. But is this really accurate? Based on album sales alone, it’s not very far-fetched. Only Lady Gaga , in his genre, can really compete with Bieber on the charts. Susan Boyle may have broken debut CD records last year, but no one would refer to her music as “pop.” Rihanna? She has far more number-one singles than Justin, but also a lot more experience. In five years, might he still be on top? Millions of teenage girls around the globe sure hope so. You tell us: Is Justin Bieber the world’s biggest pop star?

He sang his hits “One Time” and “Baby,” on which he rapped. “What a lovely crowd,” he said during his set. “They’re hyped a little bit! … How many of you guys think it’s a beautiful day out here? It’s a beautiful day! It’s a good time to play my new song, ‘U Smile.’ ” He then went into the Motown-flavored tune, followed by a medley of classic songs, including Michael Jackson’s “Wanna Be Startin’ Something” and Aerosmith/Run-DMC’s “Walk This Way.” Not only did the crowd to get to see Bieber dance a bit more, but during “Walk This Way” he even showed off his ability to play the drums. He ended the set with “Baby” before giving high-fives to his band for a job well done.

5 Questions Raised by Glee’s Performance at the White House Easter Egg Roll

Every year, you apply for the White House Easter Egg Roll lottery, hoping that you and your child can spend the holiday rubbing elbows with the First Couple as that-year’s-tween-act bops around on a South Lawn stage. How could that not be the most amazing celebration of Jesus’ resurrection ever? That question was rhetorical up until this weekend’s Egg Roll, when the cast of Glee clambered onstage in matching blood-red outfits and stumbled through one of the most disappointing Egg Roll performances of all time (even counting Fergie’s). After the jump, Movieline works through some of the questions raised in this weekend’s mini-concert.

Tareq and Michaele Salahi Will Actually Star on The Real Housewives of D.C.

Sorry, Sarah Palin. Incredibly, you’re NOT the most pathetic person to land a new reality show this month. Tareq and Michaele Salahi – the absolute morons who crashed a party at the White House last year – won’t simply star in The Real Housewives of D.C .; the awful couple will be a focal point of the Bravo program. The Salahis actually averted the Secret Service and shook hands with President Barack Obama, first lady Michelle Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and many others in November 2008. Reportedly, the pair was being filmed as part of its audition for this series when the crashing took place. A dozen episodes of the first season have been shot and are slated to premiere in July, according to The Daily Beast . Paris Hilton’s aunts and Kelsey Grammer’s wife will also star on the show . Looks like the competition for This Year’s Sign of the Apocalypse is over before it began.
