Justin Bieber Set To Host 'Saturday Night Live'?

Big news! While NBC has not officially announced it, it appears that teen pop superstar Justin Bieber may be hosting "Saturday Night Live" sometime in 2012.

The buzz comes courtesy of frequent "SNL" host and "30 Rock" star Alec Baldwin, who during a Monday broadcast of his WNYC podcast "Here's the Thing" interviewed "SNL" executive producer Lorne Michaels. During the chat, Baldwin begins to read from the "legendary cork board" in Michaels' office that includes the roster of confirmed hosts for the show and in so doing inadvertently announced that Bieber may host the show and act as its musical guest.

"The biggest names in the business are coming here thirty-something years [after 'SNL''s debut] to host the show," Baldwin says (via The Huffington Post). "Ben Stiller, Melissa McCarthy, [who] won the Emmy award, and Katy Perry's coming and Jimmy Fallon, who's double-dipping on your payroll, Jonah Hill, and I don't want to ruin any other names, [but] Bieber's confirmed, he's the music and the [host]."

Interesting!

While he's never hosted the show, Bieber was featured as the musical guest during an April 2010 episode hosted by Tina Fey and appeared in a few sketches.

UPDATE: A source close to the show tells MTV News that Jonah Hill is confirmed for the show, but no word yet on whether or not Bieber will stop by.

Are you psyched for Bieber to maybe host 'SNL'? Let us know in the comments below

Justin Bieber Talks Singing Songs About Sex, Drugs And Rock’n’Roll

Posted 1/10/12 3:04 pm EST by in Justin Bieber


Get More: Music News

In the new issue of V magazine, Justin Bieber not only opens up about his views on God and religion but also talks a bit about the image he hopes to portray in his music.

"I'm not going to try to conform to what people want me to be or go out there and start partying, have people see me with alcohol. I want to do it at my own pace," Bieber says in the issue, which he also graces the cover of (via Usmagazine.com). "I don't want to start singing about things like sex, drugs and swearing. I'm into love, and maybe I'll get more into making love when I'm older. But I want to be someone who is respected by everybody."

Bieber goes on to wax philosophical a bit more about his career and thankfully less about “making love.” (He is like a little brother to us!) "I want to be successful and be great at what I do. But eventually, I want to become the best at what I do," Bieber tells V. "I want to be better than anybody who's ever done it. And in order to do that, I need to strive to be the best, be good to people and treat people with respect, and work as hard as I can. Because for me, I work so hard and this consumes my life – it's not worth it if I'm not the best." Read More...

Songwriting Legend And Double Grammy Nominee Diane Warren Dishes On Bieber, Cher and Beyonce

Posted 1/10/12 9:04 am EST by in Beyonce, Justin Bieber


Dianne Warren

By Kara Warner

If you think you haven't heard of Diane Warren, you've definitely heard a dozen or so of her chart-topping, award-winning songs. The prolific songwriter has written songs for Celine Dion, Elton John, LeAnn Rimes, Mary J. Blige, Toni Braxton and most recently Cher, Justin Bieber and Beyonce. She is a double Grammy nominee this year for "You Haven’t Seen The Last of Me" from "Burlesque" and "Born to Be Somebody" from "Never Say Never" in the category of Best Song Written For Visual Media.

MTV News was lucky enough to catch up with Warren recently to talk about the stories behind her nominated songs for Cher and Justin Bieber, as well as some inside scoop about how "I Was Here" almost didn't make it on Beyonce's 4 album.

MTV News: Congratulations on your two Grammy nominations!

Diane Warren: Thank you. It is nice to be nominated, but I always lose [laughs]. I’ve never been up against myself and I’ve never had two songs in the same category. I’m happy to have had one. It’s pretty cool. I’ve been telling as many people as I can, "You have two choices guys!" It’s amazing, there’s almost a 50 year age difference between [Cher and Bieber]. It’s like, "Alright that’s diversity."

What Was The Biggest Red Carpet Moment of 2011? (Poll)

Posted 12/29/11 11:59 am EST by in Beyonce, Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Newsroom Poll


For our favorite celebrities, the red carpet is the place to make a big statement. From outrageous fashion to borderline crazy antics, it all happens on the way into an event.

Check out MTV News' Most-Memorable Red Carpet Moments!

But who really brought their A-game to the carpet in 2011? Well, Lady Gaga for one. People will be talking for years to come about her arrival at this year’s Grammy Awards. No, she didn’t have on another meat dress. She arrived in an egg, silly! It had something to do with being in gestational creative state or something. Some thought it was pretty awesome, others considered it just plain weird. Love it or hate it, if you were watching, you won’t soon forget it!

Also causing a stir at the Grammy was our girl Snooki, who co-hosted MTV’s coverage with Sway Calloway. But the real buzz came from MTV’s own red carpets. At the Movie Awards, “Twilight” starlet Nikki Reed announced her engagement to “American Idol” finalist Paul McDonald (the pair wed in October). And at the VMAs, Justin Bieber introduced us to his snake, Johnson. His pet snake, a baby boa constrictor, just to be clear.

Then there was Beyonce. Oh, Queen Bey! Without warning the R&B superstar, who was one of MTV News' Top Newsmakers of 2011, showed up on the VMA red carpet in a striking orange Lanvin dress, and though she didn’t talk to the press, she caressed her belly in a way that pretty much said it all!

Which red carpet moment was tops in 2011? Let us know by voting in our poll after the jump! Read More...

Justin Bieber And Emma Watson Are The Reason Your Kid Wants That Haircut

Posted 12/29/11 10:22 am EST by in Celebrity, Justin Bieber


Justin Bieber

Short and shaggy manes are in and we can all thank Justin Bieber and Emma Watson.

This according to the Wall Street Journal, which reports, “The fastest-rising searches for celebrity haircuts on Google are for Ms. Watson and Mr. Bieber.”

Pixie cuts haven’t been truly popular since the ‘90s (apparently? Quick, someone tell every thirtysomething mother at the supermarket), but leave it to the endlessly trendy “Harry Potter” starlet to bring the style back into vogue. After wrapping the final “Potter” flick, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2” (which made MTV’s list of the Top Newsmakers of 2011), Watson chopped off her long, curly locks in a concrete display that she was leaving Hermoine Granger in the past and moving on into adulthood.

As for the “Bieber swish,” as the Journal hilariously calls it, well, you probably don’t even have to look out your front door to see one of those if you have a teenage son. The side-swept style popularized by the “Mistletoe” singer is everywhere … even though he has stopped sporting the famous cut himself.

Check out Watson’s pixie chic style as MTV News' own Josh Horowitz teaches the cast of "Harry Potter" a little "American Talk," after the jump! Read More...

Who Was Your Favorite Celebrity Couple of 2011? (Poll)

Posted 12/27/11 12:01 pm EST by in Newsroom Poll


While news of celebrity breakups tends to dominate the headlines, here in the MTV Newsroom, we’re most thankful for the lucky few who stick it out and show us that even in the hectic world of Hollywood, where temptation lurks behind every palm tree, true love conquers all.

Just look at our Favorite Celebrity Couples of 2011!

Whether they are relative newbies to the scene, like Justin Bieber, whose girlfriend Selena Gomez stood firmly beside him as he weathered a (pretty silly) paternity scandal, or established industry veterans like Jay-Z and Beyonce, who after almost four years of marriage (and nearly a decade as a couple) decided to take the next step and are getting ready for their first baby, we love it when a celebrity couple has each other’s back.

Two other happy couples also took a big step in 2011: Britney Spears and Jason Trawick and Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose. Wiz and Amber caused a stir earlier this year when they started doing just about everything, including interviews, together and some pictures and Internet buzz kind of-sort of made it seem like they’d tied the knot. As if! Turns out, they’re just that in love and the media spectacle was their way of showing it off. Less showy and more traditional was our girl Britney, who said yes when former agent Jason asked her to marry him! Well … we take that back. We’re not sure we consider filming a naked shower scene with your flame, as B. did with Jason for “Criminal,” the epitome of traditional, but hey, this is Hollywood we’re talking about.

That brings us to our final favorite couple: Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson. They usually keep things pretty quiet, but finally started opening up about each other this year. With the film franchise that brought them together coming to a close next year, we wonder how long it will be before we start hearing engagement and baby rumors about these two? (Well, valid engagement and baby rumors, not the silly tabloid ones you see about them every other week.)

Which celebrity couple was your favorite of 2011? Vote in our poll after the jump! Read More...

Justin Bieber's Batmobile Gets Pulled Over

Posted 12/15/11 3:46 pm EST by in Justin Bieber


Holy traffic violations, Batman! TMZ reports that Justin Bieber got pulled over in L.A. on Wednesday. What terrible offense did the 17-year-old get in trouble for? Was he speeding? Running away from the scene of a crime? Doing wheelies in the parking lot at the Beverly Center?

Nope! It turns out that the teen star was stopped by police for making "an unsafe left turn" at an intersection in the City of Angels. Yep, that’s it everyone. He turned too fast. He was pulled over for that. And, the offense was so minor that the LAPD officer only gave the pop star a warning. But, in case you think Bieber isn’t all that baaaaad, think again. This marks the second time the teen has been pulled over in his pimped out ride. He previously cut an officer off back in October. At the time, he also only got a slap on the wrist.

We don’t know what Bieber could have been in a rush to get too (although he has been tweeting about school and recording sessions), but we’re sure whatever it was Bieber should have been following the rules of the road. Next time, he may not get away with just a warning.
