Video - Justin Bieber’s “Director Fan Cut DVD” is Out! Sneak Peek!

For those Justin Bieber fans that just can’t get enough of the teen singing sensation – your wait is over.

The final “Directors Fan Cut DVD” of “Never Say Never” is out and the fans are gobbling it up.

The new fan version adds tons of extras including Justin on his Segway, thirty minutes of new footage, and the removal of some footage deemed “unnecessary”.

Jon Chu, who directed the DVD, says,

“We listened to Justin’s fans after the release of the original Never Say Never and the message was clear. They wanted to see more Justin and less concert stuff and fluff footage. So we packed this fan cut version with everything they asked for!”

Indeed, this version contains over one hour of additional special features and new intimate moments of Justin while on tour.

There is a sneak peek inside his tour bus with Kenny Hamilton and footage of Bieber on his favorite toy – his Segway.

There is new footage of Bieber interacting with his golden ticket winners and more segments of him talking and dancing.



We suspect this fan cut version of Never Say Never will do well.

After the release of the first cut, lots of fans were disappointed that there was so little “Justin” in the movie.

One fan said,

“We wanted to see more Justin. We wanted to hear him talk and learn more about him. They cut everything together so fast you could barely see anything. Most of the footage was stuff on YouTube and things we had already seen before. We wanted to see new things. It was kind of a letdown.”

Jon Chu and his team heard the message loud and clear and agreed to release a new version in an effort to keep Bieber’s fans happy and in love with the singer.

Another fan commented,

“We thought the movie was going to have a lot of Justin talking with his crew, family, fans, and friends. It was a letdown because there was actually very little of Justin talking or being personal. We had already seen most of the footage and the 3D parts were kind of not needed and not very impressive. We wanted more Justin!”

Beiber spent months on the road doing press junkets telling everybody “This is not going to be a concert movie”, when it fact that’s exactly what it turned out to be.

One of the sweetest additions to the Fan Cut is the video clip below where a young girl is asked to come on stage and help sing with Justin. It shows the deep emotion the star shares with his fans and will probably make you cry.

We loved it!

Initial sales numbers show the Fan Cut is off to a good start and will add to the profit from the first incarnation that pulled in over $75 million worldwide.

Bieber is back in the studio as we speak putting the finishing touches on his new album titled “Believe” due to hit stores later this year.

Bieber has also announced new South American and Latin American tour dates starting in September and will be the continuation of his “My World” concert tour.

He is also scheduled to start work on a movie this summer and has been traveling with his girlfriend Selena Gomez on her first concert tour.

When Justin Bieber is not getting new tattoos with his dad or getting caught shirtless in his underwear in Miami or coning in a Rolls Royce with his friends he is still tries to be just a normal kid – but is that even possible at this stage of the game?

Oh yea, now Justin’s pet cat “Spaz” even has his own twitter account at @Justins_Cat recounting to his followers the intimate private details of the singers daily life.

Is there anything this kid can’t do?

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith Separate! – Heading For Divorce – Say it Ain’t So!

Here is another post we will have to file under “Didn’t see that coming…”

Undisputed Hollywood power broker Will Smith and his wife of 13 years Jada Pinkest Smith have reportedly announced they are separating.

They key word to focus on is “reportedly” as it sees there is little official word from the power couple.

The couple has two adorable, and famous, children Jaden Smith and Willow Smith.

Jaden is pals with Justin Bieber and appeared last year in the movie Karate Kid and in Bieber’s “Never Say Never” music video.

His sister, Willow, also appeared at several Bieber concerts promoting her hit single “Whip Your Hair Back and Forth.”

Jaden and Justin Bieber

TMZ reported the story giving credit to In Touch Magazine, but it seems that nobody has been able to “independently” confirm any of this.

This could just be the next internet rumor or Hollywood hoax machine at work – so take it in with a grain of salt.

Will, a powerhouse actor and deal maker, got his start on the TV series “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” before appearing in some of the biggest movie block buster’s known to man.

A few of his biggies include Independence Day, Men in Black, Wild Wild West, The Legend of Bagger Vance, Ali, Bad Boys II, I, Robot, Hitch, The Pursuit of Happyness, I am Legend, Hancock, and Seven Pounds.

Smith is currently filming “Men in Black III” due in theaters in May of 2012 and starring Will, Tommy Lee Jones and Josh Brolin.

Jada Pinkett Smith got her start as Lena James in the TV series “A Different World” then went on to star on the big screen in hits like The Nutty Professor , Scream 2, The Matrix Reloaded , Madagascar, and Reign Over Me.

She is currently working on “Madagascar II” lending her voice to the character of Gloria, and is appearing as Christina Hawthorne on the hit television series “Hawthorne”.

It was reported earlier this month that Will and Jada just purchased a new 25,000 square foot mansion in Calabasas California and was quoted by Architectural Digest as saying,

“We wanted the house to have no dead ends…to create an infinite cycle that represented what Jada and I hoped for our love. For us this home was always a spiritual endeavor…we’re very earthy, organic people. We wanted to create a family retreat, something made by hand and as natural as possible, and something that ties back to the land."

These words seem genuine and don’t sound like the words of a couple getting ready to divorce.

Bottom Line:

We suspect this whole separation and divorce news is just another grand hoax and rumor mongering.

If we’re wrong – we’ll eat crow.

But for now we’re calling foul and saying it just isn’t true.

** UPDATE **

Will's son from a previous marriage, Trey, has taken to his twitter page saying his dad is not getting a divorce saying,

"Will and Jada getting a DIVORCE ..NOT TRUE AT ALL !! RETWEET."

** UPDATE #2 **

Will and Jada have just released a statement saying,

"Although we are reluctant to respond to these types of press reports, the rumors circulating about our relationship are completely false. We are still together, and our marriage is intact."

We didn't think it was true, and it is looking more like a hoax by the hour.

Photos - Richard Branson's Necker Island Mansion Burns – Kate Winslet Saves His Mother

Sir Richard Branson

Business tycoon, Virgin CEO, and billionaire Richard Branson lost one of his huge mansions on his private “Necker Island” in the Caribbean yesterday.

A fire started as a result of Hurricane Irene that is churning in the gulf and heading toward Florida and the east coast of the United States.

The mansion was considered a total loss and no injuries were reported.

Authorities said a lightning strike sparked the blaze that burned the mansion to the ground and that there were 20 guests, including his mother, in the house and on the property at the time.

In a dramatic twist that could only be created in Hollywood, actress Kate Winslet was visiting the property with her two children when the fire erupted, and she single handedly saved Branson’s 90-year-old mother from certain death by carrying her to safety.

Branson told reporters,

“We had a really bad tropical storm with winds up to 90mph. A big lightning storm came around 4am and hit one of the main houses. The fire took hold incredibly quickly, with flames 100 feet high. It ripped through the house very quickly. It was Kate who carried my mother to safety. My Mom is 90 years-old and Kate swept her up in her arms and got them out of the house as fast as possible.”

Sir Richard purchased the island, called Necker Island, in 1979 for about $250,000 and then spent tens of millions of dollars building fantastic mansions, pools, spas, and VIP areas for his friends and family.

The island and structures are used throughout the year by some of Hollywood’s biggest stars and business tycoons and rents for $35,000 per day.

Branson has vowed to rebuild saying,

“We want to rebuild the house as soon as we can. We have a wonderful staff here and we want them to stay and work. We’ll all stay here for the time being. There’s a lot of damage and we won’t be able to put it back together again right away. It was a beautiful house.”

Until the main VIP house is rebuilt guests will have to find comfort in one of the other six mansions scattered around the island.

The tropical storm that caused the lightning strike has since turned into a category 3 hurricane named Irene and is heading for the East coast of the United States threatening not only Florida but the entire coast as she heads towards the Carolina’s.

Video - Meet Megan & Liz Mace - YouTube Super Twins or the Next Music Sensation?

Every now and then we run across artists on the internet that makes us wonder why we haven’t heard of them before.

Where have they been all this time? How could we have missed them?

And so it is with 18-year-old twin sisters Megan and Liz Mace.

We stumbled across them almost by accident while looking for Demi Lovato covers of “Skyscraper” - and after a bit of sleuthing, listening, reading, and talking to people we figured we needed to share their story with our readers.

Megan and Liz Mace are 18-year-old fraternal twins who were born in Indiana, grew up in Michigan, and recently moved to Nashville to pursue a career in music.

They started singing when they were just two-years-old, and wrote their first original song when they were ten. Megan started learning how to play guitar when she was thirteen, and they have been making music together ever since.

Early on they became somewhat obsessed with singer Taylor Swift and quickly started covering her songs and uploading them to their YouTube channel in 2007 – and the rest is history.

The twins quickly gained a huge following of fans that call themselves “Macers”, and as of today have over 88 million YouTube views.

They have even been on the Oprah Winfrey Show.

Contacted by the show’s producers to talk about appearing on a later show, the unsuspecting twins were surprised when Oprah herself appeared on camera to talk with them.

If that wasn’t enough, Taylor Swift joined the video conference call to say “Hi” to Megan and Liz and congratulate them on their success and invite them to one of her concerts.

Their reactions are priceless…

They have even had the opportunity to meet Taylor in person saying,

“Obviously meeting Taylor Swift was a dream come true! It was almost surreal. She was just as sweet as you would expect here to be. Meeting her gave us even more respect for her!”

They were thrown into the music industry fire and honed their live performance skills last year while touring with Boyce Avenue and Tiffany Alvord - hitting up stages in San Francisco, Seattle, Phoenix, Dallas, Austin, Houston, Gainesville, and Orlando.

In 2009, Megan and Liz entered the Oxford Film Festival Singing Contest and won the opportunity to open for recording artist Savannah Outen during her concert in West Chester, Ohio.

That same year they signed a record deal with BMI Records and released their first album “All of Our Boyfriends”.

The EP is available on Amazon and iTunes.

After listening to the Album, or any of their 20 original songs on iTunes, you will see why they call Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Demi Lovato, 78Violet, and Miley Cyrus their main influences.

They also cover songs by Beyoncé, Lil Wayne, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Lady Antebellum, Sara Evans, Usher, Jessie J, Adele, Memphis High, Selena Gomez, P!nk, Ke$ha, Bruno Mars, and Taio Cruz.

Watch Megan and Liz Music Video for “Here I Go”


These two young ladies can really belt out a tune and their complementary vocals and harmonies are those only achieved by their sibling connection.

One of the points of this post is to show that with some good talent and a teenager’s knack for mastering social media – you can become a star.

Megan and Liz have used social media to not only profile their musical talent, they also built an official web site to give tips on beauty and fashion ideas to other teens and sell merchandize like t-shirts, necklaces, and hoodie sweatshirts.

Brilliant.

The twins currently utilize Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Tumblr, Formspring, iTunes, Amazon, MySpace, iLike, and Last.fm – not to mention all the personal fan sights built by others.

This is how you do it kids – forget about “Big Music” and the west coast record labels. All you need is some talent and a little bit of social media savvy.

Do it the right way and the right people will find you.

Watch Megan and Liz Cover Lady Gaga “Born This Way”


So, you would think that with all this music career stuff they wouldn’t have time for much of anything else right?
Wrong.

Both girls are still in a regular High School and both participate on the cheerleading squad as well as the tennis team. They are also considering joining the school choir.

And what about boys?

We suspect that both Meagan and Liz don’t have the time that normal high school kids have – but they still find time for boys.

In fact, their first album is called “All of Our Boyfriends”, and takes a Taylor Swift style approach where they sing about their boyfriends and lost loves.

The song “Indescribable” was written about Megan’s one time boyfriend Chris. Their fans were shocked when Megan told them she had broken up with him, and then elated when they got back together.

So, with the exception of being the next YouTube sensations and Nashville recording artists, Megan and Liz say they think they are leading pretty normal lives.

Brilliant.

Video – Drunk Monkeys – Doing What Humans Do!

Sometimes life imitates art.

Sometimes monkeys imitate humans.

The following video shows what happens when a resort beach in St. Kitts is overrun by monkeys who seem to have a knack for pilfering the guest’s alcoholic beverages.

About three hundred ears ago, Vervet monkeys were brought onto the island in the Caribbean from West Africa.

They originally were stowed along with slaves serving the rum industry. Upon landing, a few escaped, multiplied, and quickly took over the normally quite tropical resort.

The monkeys that escaped acquired a taste for alcohol by eating the fermented sugar cane left in the fields, and today they raid local bars and beach goers to satisfy their thirst for booze.

Watch Drunk Monkeys on St. Kitts Island Video


This is one of the funniest videos we've seen in a while and would love to spend a day in St. Kitts just watching these creatures enjoy their surroundings and beverages.

Vervet monkeys are docile by nature and never attack or harm the vacationing beach patrons and have grown to become part of the islands quirky culture.

Cheers!

Video - Anthony Bourdain Starts Feud with Chef Paula Deen

Anybody who has ever watched Anthony Bourdain and his Travel Channel show “No Reservations” knows he is a no-nonsense, stubborn, heavy drinking chef who likes to do things his way.

Anybody who has watched TV Chef Paula Deen knows her as the sweetest down home cooking Southern chef in the World.

So what has Deen so worked up these days?

Well, Bourdain called her out by name in an interview with TV Guide saying,

"The worst, most dangerous person to America is clearly Paula Deen. She revels in unholy connections with evil corporations and she's proud of the fact that her food is f**k**g bad for you. Plus, her food sucks."

That’s pretty standard conversation for Bourdain if you’ve ever seen the master of tact in action before.

But Deen took exception with his comments (who wouldn’t) and replied publicly saying,

"I was actually kind of shocked considering I've never met Anthony and wonder why such harsh words were used. I don't know if it was a publicity thing, or if someone just peed in his bowl of cereal that morning and he was mad. Anthony, dear, I'm so sorry you feel that way."

Paula is the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen! I wish she was my Mother.

But she didn’t stop there.

Deen later appeared on Fox and Friends to respond personally about the situation.

Bourdain also slammed TV chefs Guy Fieri, Sandra Lee, and Rachael Ray saying “I hate her works on this planet”.

Ouch.

I guess were lucky he didn’t go off on Martha Stewart, Betty Crocker or the late Julia Child.

So apparently, there ARE too many cooks in the kitchen these days.

Video - Inside Donald Trump’s New Private Jet – Gold Plated Everything!

Hmm, seems like “Celebrity Apprentice” must be doing pretty well for Donald Trump, and at least somebody has found a way to make money on real estate these days.

Nobody knows just how rich the guy is, some say he’s a billionaire while others say he is broke…

But after taking one look at his private jet we think he has been able to sock away a few bills over the years.

Most of us have seen the opening segment on “Celebrity Apprentice” where Donald shows off his private helicopter, but few have seen his private 757 Jet.

And fewer people have actually seen the inside of it.

Mr. Trump's "Old" 727 - So 1990's

The video below details the plane - a Boeing 757 custom built aircraft with just about everything you would expect to be onboard Donald Trump’s private airline.

Former “Celebrity Apprentice” contestant Amanda Miller gives us a private tour of the inside, showing us the galley with china and stemware, private dining area, private guest bedrooms, Trumps private suit draped in gold silk, private bathrooms, large theater with studio quality sound system and 57 inch plasma TV’s, a VIP area, first class sleeper area, bathrooms with 24-carat gold sinks and fixtures, and a flight deck with flat panel display technology.

Heck, even the seatbelt buckles are plated with 24-carat gold.

The 757 private Jet can carry 43 passengers, travel at over 500 mph, and is powered by three high powered Rolls Royce jet engines.

Take a private tour of Donald Trump’s Private jet


Not bad for a guy with such bad hair eh?

Although Trump wouldn't say for sure, word is he bought the 757 for $100 million from Microsoft's co-founder Paul Allen.

Now we’ve all heard about Soulja Boys’ $30 million dollar purchase of a custom Gulfstream G5, but nothing compares to having your own 757.

Trump Bad Hair Day!

It’s good to see that while times are hard for so many Americans that Mr. Trump still has the luxury of jetting around the world in such opulence.

It kind of makes me wonder how much of my 401k got diverted into his 24-carat opulence.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for living high on the hog, but at some point it crosses a line and makes you look like a really big douche bag.

I’m just saying….
