Okay, so you didn’t have the chance to buy a roundtrip plane ticket to Sao Paulo Brazil last week to catch the Justin Bieber concert.
No problem – the 50,000 seat stadium sold out instantly and you probably couldn’t have bought a ticket if you wanted to.
But for those that have never seen a Justin Bieber concert live before, the full concert video below will give you a good idea of what you’re missing.
The concert was recorded October 12th, 2011 in Sao Paulo Brazil as part of “Children’s Day” on TV GLOBO.
One thing we noticed was his opening song “Love Me”.
Now, either the TV station’s transmission was screwed up or JB was lip syncing to a backing track on the first song because the pitch was way too high.
Overall, this kid really knows how to put on a show.
He sings, dances, plays guitar, plays piano and drums, and can get an arena of 50,000 fans screaming, crying, and singing every word to his songs.
Pop singer Justin Bieber just gave his fans an early Christmas present.
Bieber has released a short video of behind the scenes footage called “Making of the video: Mistletoe” showing him hard at work putting his magic touch on film.
This was the same video shoot in Nashville a few weeks back where Bieber came out to say hello, and try to quite the crowd of fans that had gathered outside the sound stage.
Justin’s Christmas Album is just days from release and is expected to be certified as Gold by the end of the year.
For now, Bieber is in South America heading to Peru on the continuation of his “My World” tour IF he doesn’t get killed there!
Justin Bieber gave his fans in Brazil a rare treat last night at his My World concert in Rio de Janeiro Brazil.
His girlfriend Selena Gomez took the stage to sing a duet of “Who Says” with Justin, and the Biebs sang “Mistletoe” from his new Christmas album for the first time live!
Bieber had tweeted the night before that his Brazilian fans were some of the loudest fans he had ever heard at a concert, and based on the following video of the duet he was telling the truth.
Bieber hinted at a big surprise on twitter by saying,
“Round Two for RIO is TOMORROW!! I got a HUGE SURPRISE TOMORROW at the show here in RIO....a Special Guest. WHO IS COMING??”
When we can find a better video we will make it available and send out a tweet so make sure to follow us on twitter - @InfoStar
Gomez traveled to Rio earlier this week to meet up with the Biebs and spent a little quality time by renting the presidential suite at one of Rio’s swankiest hotels.
After the show Bieber took to twitter to say,
“RIO!!! CRAZY!! thanks to @selenagomez for helping me do something special for the crowd. a duet never hurt nobody. WHO SAYS”
Wednesday night Bieber wowed the crowd with his first ever live performance of his new song “Mistletoe” from his Christmas Album.

The only glitch on Justin’s tour so far has been the death threats against him if he travels into Peru and proceeds with his show.
Most have discounted the rumors as those of an angry and jealous fan but we hear extra security will be in place while performing in Peru.
His My World tour will wrap up later this month and Justin will return to the United States just in time for the release of his Christmas Album “Under the Mistletoe”.
No word on how long Selena will be traveling with Bieber but we do know she was delayed entry into Brazil for several hours because she did not have all her paper work in order.
We now have the official song and artist list for Justin Bieber’s Christmas album titled “Under the Mistletoe”.
The album will be released on November 1st and will be available in two editions – standard and deluxe.
The deluxe version DVD CD will include four additional tracks and a special video of the song “Pray”.
Besides Justin, there will be collaborations with The Band Perry, Usher, Boyz II Men, Busta Rhymes, and the recently announced song with Mariah Carey.
The track list for “Under the Mistletoe” will include:
Only Thing I Ever Get For Christmas
Mistletoe
The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire) featuring Usher
Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
“Fa La La” featuring Boyz II Men

All I Want Is You
Christmas Eve
Home This Christmas featuring The Band Perry

Someday At Christmas (Deluxe Edition)
Presales are already being taken on Amazon and the album will be available on CD/DVD as well as iTunes and other digital music services.
Bieber is currently on tour in South America and getting death threats for going to Peru but will be back in the United States to kick of the release on November 1st.
We suspect a lot of fans will be receiving a CD in their Christmas stockings this year and expect sales to be strong.
“Gold” by January seems to be the initial speculation.
Some days it just doesn’t pay to be a mega millionaire rock star.
Teen pop sensation Justin Bieber has barley left Mexico on his way to Brazil as part of his South American concert tour and he is already getting death threats about performing in Peru.
Bieber has been warned by a Facebook fan site (that we will not name here) that when he comes to Peru, someone will jump on stage and push him off into a frenzied front row crowd armed with eggs and glass bottles who will kill him.
Hmmm.
Usually when you plan to murder someone you don’t broadcast to the World exactly how you are going to do it, or when or where, but hey – we’ve never been to Peru and are not familiar with their local murdering customs.
We don’t really see it as a possibility and suspect Bieber is taking this all in stride.
By Monday afternoon the fight had moved to twitter as well as Facebook, with twitter fans begging Bieber to stay safe.
Trending the hashtag "#BiebsStayOutOfPeru" one follower begged,
"We don't want you to get killed. You mean everything to us. Please, it's for your own safety!"
Bieber is not a newbie when it comes to these sorts of things either.
He has been the subject of many death threats, and death hoaxes over the years. Who can forget the screaming headline last year of “Justin Bieber is Dead”.
His girlfriend Selena Gomez and other past girlfriends have also been the target of death threats.
Yawn…..
The closet anybody has ever came to ruffing up the pop sensation was in Australia last year when a teenage boy climbed in through the arena roof and threw eggs at the singer while on stage.
Ryan, who was Bieber’s road manager and stylists was also credited as a friend, mentor, and all around team player.
Now we learn that Ryan has announced he is leaving Justin’s management team to pursue other interests.
Ryan was first hired by Manager Scooter Braun after Bieber was signed to Island records under L.A. Reid, and has served by Justin’s side for the last three years.
Good was featured in the 3D movie “Never Say Never” and is frequently seen at Justin’s side in YouTube videos.
Bieber’s manager Scooter Braun took to twitter to say,
“For all you who are asking… Ryan is going to pursue some of his dreams… We encourage him to go after his. He will always be a part of this family. Always!”
Justin’s close friend and bodyguard Kenny Hamilton tweeted,
“I’m gonna miss you man! Been so much fun and so many memories… @thatrygood I wish you well…”
Before working for Justin Bieber’s team, Ryan Good worked as an assistant to the singer Usher.
Good spent the early days with Justin on the road and refined his early look and was sometimes referred to as his “swagger couch”.
Ryan is well known for his now famous articulation of the phrase “Aw C'mon!”.
There is no word on what Ryan will be doing or who he will be working for but we suspect it is all good!
So last June, Justin Bieber visited Jimmy Fallon’s late night show and the two did a funny spoof of Bieber’s “Someday” fragrance commercial during the perfumes official launch week.
What we DIDN’T see were the bloopers and out takes that happened behind the scenes during the filming of the segment.
This is hilarious stuff - and shows what really happens when you get two funny people together for a comedy spoof.
The parody commercial harkens back to Fallon’s days on Saturday Night Live and Bieber is a natural for this kind of humor.
The first video below is the ORIGINAL segment that aired in June of 2011 on Fallon’s show.
This next video shows the bloopers and outtakes that went on behind the scenes that were never aired – until now.
We love seeing this kind of behind the scenes footage and it definitely has Fallon’s days at SNL written all over it.
Justin Bieber found his one less lonely girl last night in Monterrey Mexico – and there’s a GREAT story behind this one.
You see, last month when Bieber announced his South American Tour dates, the shows sold out in minutes – causing fans to hyperventilate and yell and scream in anguish.
Cameras at the Monterrey venue in Mexico caught one disappointed fan, Debhani Guzman Torres, in such distress that she fell to the ground crying.
You can see Debhani in the video below.
Well, Bieber took to twitter only 24 hours before hitting the stage in Monterrey asking his twitter followers to help him find Torres.
“I need everyone's help. We have LESS than 24 hours. We need to find this girl… she is at the 30 sec mark. HELP! Thanks.”
Within hours Bieber’s twitter followers had found Torres and given the information to JB’s tour manager who tracked her down, gave her free concert tickets, and made Torres the “One less lonely girl” at Friday night’s concert.
Aww…. What a sweat story.

After the show Bieber took to twitter to say,
“I just met a very special fan...thanks to the help of all of you. She said "things like this don’t happen to people like me"...Yes they do! #dreamBIG and NEVER SAY NEVER”
See, this is why Justin’s fans love him so much.
The Bieb’s has also completed his Christmas album due November 1st and we have already had a chance to listen to one of the songs…. kind of…
As teen sensation Justin Bieber and his crew head for Mexico to jumpstart their South American “My World” tour, news is out that Bieber’s manager Scooter Braun is now running the ship for young 14-year-old Australian singer Cody Simpson.
Braun, whose real name is Scott Samuel Braun, not only discovered Bieber on YouTube but got him signed to Island Records under L.A. Reid.
Braun will now try to duplicate his Bieber success with Cody Simpson.
Cody says,
“I’m a big fan of Justin’s. We support each other a lot. He was talking to me yesterday about the songs he liked off my album. People say we’re in a competition, but it’s really like being friends and part of a family. It’s definitely not something that should be seen as a rivalry.”
Scooter Braun, who was born in New York, got his start by organizing parties while attending Emory University.
His events attracted celebrity performers like Ludacris and Britney Spears, and when he was 19-years-old created his own party-promotion company.
In 2002, Jermaine Dupri hired him as Director of Marketing of So So Def Records, and at age 20 was named Executive Marketing Director.
In addition to Justin Bieber, Braun also manages singer Asher Roth and has business connections to wake board guru and champion Paulie Koch.
Scooter currently owns and operates two music labels - Raymond-Braun Media Group (RBMG) which is co-owned with Usher, and Schoolboy Records.
Even though Simpson was just signed and is already getting asked about collaborations with Bieber.
Simpson has released one album and just completed a short U.S. tour with friend and fellow teen singer Greyson Chance who was also discovered on YouTube and signed by Ellen DeGeneres’ label “eleveneleven”.
Justin Bieber and his crew were in Franklin Tennessee earlier this week working on his Christmas Video and we got to hear the first sounds of one of the new songs!
Well, we actually got to hear a somewhat garbled version of the backing track used during the video shoot for “Under the Mistletoe” featuring The Band Perry.
Somebody on the crew was recording the shoot while the backing track was being played – maybe not realizing the implications of his actions if it got leaked to YouTube.
Bieber’s Christmas Album titled “Under the Mistletoe” is already being presold on Amazon and will be released on November 1st.
Bieber's friend and mentor Ryan Good showed off his personal interpretive Christmas dance skills while hundreds of fans cheered him on, and at one point the crowd grew so large that production had to be temporarily stopped while Bieber addressed the crowd during a break.
Bieber then led the crowd of fans in a medley of Christmas songs and danced with Santa before resuming production of the music video.
Now that filming is done Bieber and his team are headed to Mexico to kick of the South American segment of his popular My World Tour.
JB will hit up Mexico, Peru, Chile, Brazil, Argentina and Columbia before returning to the United States to officially kick off his Christmas Album release.
Before hitting the road, Justin did have time this week to spend with his family and took the time to snap a few Bieber family photos of his younger brother and sister for his supporters.
Just one day before hitting the road to resume his “My World Tour” in South America, Justin Bieber got quite a surprise.
It seems that Bieber and his team were at an undisclosed location shooting video for his upcoming Christmas Album and Video when fans discovered what was going on.
Within minutes, fans started to crowd around the area where the production was taking place and started cheering and screaming.
Production had to be halted for a short time so Bieber could address the crowd and try to bring order to the set.
So what did he do to calm everybody down?
He started singing Christmas songs and encouraged the crowd to sing along with him!
Justin took to his twitter account saying,
“Pretty wild yesterday. we didn't even say our location and thousands of people showed up. my fans go hard! #goodtimes”
Here is a video of how it went down...
After belting out a few Christmas songs the crowd was asked to stay quiet and move back from the immediate area and filming continued.
At one point Justin was seen dancing the “Dougie” with the actor playing Santa Clause.
Tomorrow Bieber and his team head to Mexico for the start of his South American Concert tour.
Bieber’s Christmas Album will be released November 1st and Amazon is already taking preorders.
We suspect brisk sales and millions of happy teenage girls Christmas morning as they discover something besides mistletoe under the tree with their name on it!
Also this week Justin had the chance to visit with his dad Jeremy Bieber and his younger brother and sister Jaxon and Jazzy.
On the eve of leaving for Mexico to kick off the next leg of his My World South American Concert Tour, Justin Bieber took some time earlier this week to reunite with his divorced Father, Jeremy Bieber, his little sister Jazzy and brother Jaxon.
Jazzy, now three years old, lives with Justin’s Dad in Canada and doesn’t get a lot of opportunities to see her big brother. Jazzy has a younger brother named Jaxon who was born last year.
But this week the three reunited and took the opportunity to snap a few family photos to share with the world.

In addition to the family pictures, Jazzy is now the proud owner of her very own twitter account.
Jazzy’s twitter account can be found at @JazzyKBiebz, and while she has not tweeted anything yet has over 100,000 followers.
And that is not going over very well with @Justins_Cat, a twitter account setup by “Spaz” – Justin Bieber’s pet cat who has taken to twitter to share funny pictures, stories, and inside information about all things Justin.
For now the entire Bieber family is on their way to Mexico to kick of the next leg of Justin’s tour and will hit up Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela.
Justin Bieber was hanging out in Los Angeles yesterday and really drew a lot of attention.
First, he was spotted hanging out at the new Hollywood Chick-fil-A on Sunset Boulevard where he hiked up his shirt and showed the paparazzi his purple underwear.
We’re not relay sure how he even keeps his woman’s pants up when they sag so low but purple underwear has kind of become his trademark.
And are those Spanks we see under his shirt?
Actually, the Biebs was getting fitted for a microphone pack by the guy standing behind him and you can see the mic wire running up his shirt.
Justin Bieber flashed his purple underwear in L.A.
Then Bieber got into a fight on the streets of L.A.!
Kind of…
Justin spent the rest of the day with his pal Ryan Goode filming a PSA (Public Service Announcement) about bullying and street fighting.
Part of the segment was filmed for everybody to see and that shot included Bieber acting like he was being bullied and getting into a fight.
One witness says the shot the scene almost 20 times before moving on to other business.
So rest easy fans – it was all for the camera!
News also slipped out yesterday that Bieber’s new Christmas album with Boyz II Men and Taylor Swift will be released on Halloween.
We can only imagine the millions that will fly off store shelves to be wrapped and put under the tree for Christmas day.
That’s why he’s famous.
And he knows what his fans want, and he knows how and when to give it to them.
Oh yea, next week Bieber heads out for his South American segment of his “My World Tour” and has just announced additional dates and cities.
Late last week scientists were shocked when a new undiscovered breed of Penguin was spotted at Sea World.
While researchers say it is not uncommon for rare breeds of animals to go unnoticed for thousands of years, they were shocked that this breed, dubbed “Penguieber”, had eluded the scientific community for so long.
“We thought we had seen just about every kind of Penguin species there was. Now we are wondering if there are other varieties that have gone undiscovered. This is truly one of the rarest sightings in the last 100 years.”
Fortunately, a young girl had videotaped the event and quickly sold her footage to a tabloid magazine for $250,000 making it the single most idiotic footage purchase ever on the face of the earth.
Authorities were notified but the elusive Bieber Penguin appeared to escape through a series of tunnels designed for really short people to use for access while feeding the other animals.
Justin’s pet cat “Spaz” took to his twitter account @Justins_Cat to say,
“Meow – I heard they spotted the rare Penguieber yesterday – Sorry guys, it was just me! - Sniff... Purr...”
Attached to his tweet was a photo that appeared to be Spaz dressed in a Penguin suite.
One eyewitness told us,
“It was not Justin’s cat. I know what I saw and it was not a cat. Spaz is just upset because he is not getting all the attention. After all, he is a cat and cats like fish. Wouldn’t YOU be frustrated too?”
Officials at Sea World have been mum on the issue and refused to give a statement but said they suspected a troublemaker by the name of Alfredo Flores probably had something to do with it.
There is nothing like being honored by the city you were born in.
And in Stratford Ontario that honor has been bestowed on their hometown boy Justin Bieber.
Millions of people have seen the video of Justin outside the Avon Theater in Stratford, and Bieber himself recalls making thousands of dollars playing on the steps for visitors in town for the world famous Shakespeare Festival.
Last week, the Mayor and City Council of Stratford unveiled a Hollywood type star outside the Avon to honor Bieber’s contributions.
Justin Bieber's Star in Stratford
Bieber on the steps of the Avon Theater 4 Years Ago
Bieber tweeted,
"Woke up today and got an email about this star in front of the place I used to busk in my hometown. DREAM BIG and thank you."
The star has Bieber's name and the words “Recording Artist” engraved and is set in the concrete just feet away from where the World famous teenager used to play for money.
Video of JB sitting on the steps of the Avon was also shown in his 3D movie “Never Say Never” and you can watch him going to town in the following video.
Stratford is a small town of less than 30,000 people and to have a celebrity like the Bieb’s is a huge deal for the city.
Justin Bieber and Usher stopped in Atlanta Georgia today to pay tribute to their vocal coach and mentor Mama Jan Smith.
Mama Jan was inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame today and Bieber performed with his guitar player Dan Kanter as a tribute.
Mama Jan has been Justin's vocal coach since he started his career and has worked with some of the biggest names in the business.
Way to go Justin!
The next video shows Justin and Usher posing for pictures backstage before the presentation started.
Mama Jan was a prominent figure in Bieber’s 3D movie “Never Say Never” and is a co-founder of “The Bridge Foundation” which helps mentor young artists and prepares them for a career in the music business.
Beliebers will have one more thing to look forward to this Christmas besides a little time off from school – a new Christmas album from Justin Bieber.
Justin has spent the last several months working away in the studio not only with pre-work on his upcoming album “Believe”, but also completing a Christmas album, or Holiday album, or Kwanzaa album, or Festivus album, or whatever merry season time event you celebrate.
Ok! Magazine caught up with the World famous pop singer and asked him what it is like to be working on two albums at the same time and the relief of having one completed.
"It's crazy. I started a little bit on my actual album, but I've been really focusing on my Christmas album. We just got it finished so I'm like really excited about the final outcome. It was really incredible. I’m really just glad to be done with that and start with my album."
While Bieber sang “Some Day at Christmas” for President Obama a few years back, most of his fans may be scratching their heads wondering what a Justin Bieber Holiday album will sound like.
Maybe a hip hop version of Jingle Bells with Chris Brown? Perhaps a techno drum machine pop version of “Hark the Herald Angels” with Lady Gaga?
Relax. Bieber says he thinks there will be something for all his fans saying,
“There are a couple original songs, a couple classics, a few collaborations, but mostly originals.”
Hmm, we’re still a bit nervous.
But our insider says there will be collaborations with Boyz II Men, Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, and yes - Chris Brown.
And if there was ever any doubt if Bieber has the chops for a tender Christmas album just watch this video of the young star at 13-years-old, before he became famous, singing “Some Day at Christmas” back home in Stratford Ontario.
But the clock is ticking and insiders say the X-mas album will most likely be released in November around Thanksgiving, and “Believe” will be released first quarter of 2012.
That doesn’t leave a lot of time seeing as Bieber is due to kick of his South American tour in Mexico on September 30th and will be on the road through late October.
And from what we hear almost every show is already sold out and his fans will not take "No" for an answer.
In fact, there are reports of fans freaking out and resorting to tears and temper tantrums when news leaked that several high profile venues sold out in less than 30 minutes while they were still standing in line!
So Justin will return to the United States the first of November to start promotion and appearances for the Christmas Album, and spend December through February putting the finishing touches on “Believe”, and then announce his 2012 North American tour dates.
Our favorite pop sensation Justin Bieber spontaneously called in to talk to his friend Mike Missanelli on his radio show last Friday.
We have to say, it was one of the most informative interviews we’ve heard from Bieber in a while.
It lasted almost seven minutes and was not just the canned answers we have grown accustomed to from the Biebs.
He talked about how he met Selena Gomez, his old girlfriends, Hockey, and his participation in his charity “Pencils of Promise”.
One thing became clear after the interview – Justin Bieber loves sports!
He also admitted that Jasmine Villegas was his girlfriend when he first met Selena, but did not mention the death threats and stalking problems Villegas has had.
There was a lot of ground covered in this interview and it was nice to not hear Justin say uh, well you know, yea, it’s like, every 5 seconds.
Bieber is also busy promoting his charity involvement with “Pencils of Promise”, and just announced that the company that produces his fragrance “Someday” has joined forces for the cause.
The campaign is called “Hearts Across the Web” and involves taking a picture of yourself making the heart sign and uploading it to the site to complete the world’s biggest digital chain of human hearts.
If half a million fans respond then “Give Back Bands” will help build 50 schools. You can upload your photo and learn more at the Someday web site here.
“Pencils of Promise” was founded by Adam Braun – the brother of JB’s manager Scooter Braun.
Justin Bieber and Scooter Braun hit up Dolce & Gabbana’s Fashion Night last week and gave one of the best interviews we’ve heard in a while.
Justin talked about Scooter’s beard, and how and when he decided to cut it off – and his failed attempt to auction the hair for charity.
Bieber talked about Braun’s “aging” fashion attire and said Scooter “had his day” when he was fly and had the swag down – and that JB has kind of given up on trying to give Scooter fashion advice.
The most important part of the interview was when they talked about the charity organized by Scooters brother called “Pencils of Promise” and the number of schools that have been built so far.
Justin and his team have supported Adam Braun and his charity since its inception and now have over 50 schools either already built, or being built in third world countries.
Bieber’s new Christmas album is due out this November and will contain mostly original songs written by Justin, and at least one original track written by Justin and Taylor Swift. Proceeds from the Christmas album will go to “Pencils of Promise”.
Taylor Swift and Justin have become friends this summer, and the singer even pulled the ultimate prank on her a couple of weeks back as part of the new MTV “Punk’d” TV series that is being revived.
Well, we knew Justin Bieber was a pretty good basketball player – after all, he won celebrity MVP at last year’s NBA exposition game.
But last weekend, Bieber played coach against team “Ludacris” at another charity game that generated over $10,000 for charity – and Bieber showed his swag.
Justin’s team won by three points and his team included some of the biggest names in the game.
Alfredo Flores was kind enough to provide a video highlight of the top ten best moves of the game – and Justin is in more than a few of them.
Watch JB Swag out on the Basketball court
Bieber is currently putting the finishing touches on his new album “Believe” and is also recording a special Christmas album due out by the end of the year.
He will also be seen soon on MTV’s revamped Ashton Kutcher brainchild “Punk’d” and was the season’s first guest host and took out his prankster revenge on friend Taylor Swift.
