Video - Justin Bieber’s Manager Scooter Braun Turns 30 – Throws World Class Bash

Scooter Braun and Justin
You know what they say; it’s not what you know it’s who you know…

And Scooter Braun knows a lot of famous people.

That was very apparent last Saturday when Scooter turned thirty years old and held on heck of a party.

Braun not only was the one who discovered Justin Bieber on YouTube four years ago, but also became the teen pop sensations Manager, mentor, and best friend.

So how does somebody as connected as Scooter throw a party?

Well, you start by renting out “The Music Box” in Hollywood California and inviting all your friends.

There was Kim Kardashian, Justin Bieber, Jaden Smith, MC Hammer, Usher Raymond, Perez Hilton, Kenny Hamilton, Ryan Goode, Paris and Nicky Hilton, Adam Levine, Wilmer Valderama, Dan Kanter, Mary J. Blige, and others.



Both User and MC Hammer performed on stage, and Justin performed “Never Say Never” with Jaden Smith, and all were on the stage singing and dancing during each other’s performances.

Justin even backed up User on the drums during one of his songs:



Insiders say Justin and Jaden played “Beer Pong” (with water and not beer) most of the night while other celebs took to twitter to tell their fans where they were and who they were with.

MC Hammer tweeted,

“Usher... Justin B. ... Adam Levine .. We’re performing and partying in LA .. Celebrating Scooter’s B Day and Fathers Day !!!”

Usher Raymond was so excited he forgot there was such a thing as lower case when tweeting,

“WE ARE HAVING THE GREATEST NIGHT EVER!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SCOOTER!!!! URIV”

And while user performed, Bieber was on stage executing some killer dance moves as seen in the video below.



There were also belly dancers and fire eaters and enough food to feed an army. From what we here a good time was had by all and the group partied into the wee hours.

The highlight of the evening was a “Roast” of young Scooter, whose real name is Scott. It was very personal with lots of “stories from the road during last year’s concert tour” and lots of inside jokes from when Scooter and Justin were on the road early in the process hitting up Malls and radio stations.

But there were a few conspicuous absences.

Bieber’s mom Pattie Mallette and divorced dad Jeremy Bieber were unable to attend, and girlfriend Selena Gomez was not there either.

But Gomez had a good excuse as she was in Toronto Canada rehearsing for her hosting duties at the “Much Music Video Awards” MMVA show.

In fact, after Scooter’s birthday bash, Justin hit the road to join Selena in Toronto where he won two MMVA awards.

The first was a tie with singer Drake for International Video of the Year, and the second was for “Ur Favorite Artist” award.

There was one funny moment when Gomez announced the winner and Justin came out on stage to receive his award and turned to Selena and said,

“Selena? Nice to meet you, I’m Justin, maybe we should go out some time?”

The Paparazzi also took note of Justin’s attire as he showed off his T-shirt with a picture of the character Kelly Kapowski from the popular “Saved by the Bell” television series.

So there you go, just another weekend in the life of a $150 Million teen pop sensation.

Feel old yet?

Justin Bieber Upset about Toronto Pot Dealers Selling “J.B. Kush” Marijuana Blend

There comes a time when a celebrity gets so famous that their hometown bestows honors on them.

Sometimes it’s a statue, a street named after them, a ballpark fan appreciation day, a key to the city – you get the idea.

But now Justin Bieber is being honored by Toronto Canada’s pot dealers.

That’s right – a new potent strain of marijuana being sold in Toronto has been named after the young “Baby” hit maker.

It’s called J.B. Kush.

One stoned insider says,

“The new kind of weed is apparently being sold on the streets of Toronto, Canada under the name, J.B. Kush, and is advertised to apparently ‘help you get through those tough times with your loved one, and make you closer’”

Oh my, what would Selena think about all this?


Bieber already has a line of fingernail polish, wrist bands, headphones, calendars, CD’s, DVD’s, a hit 3D movie, and as of this month a new women’s perfume – he really doesn’t need to be selling pot also.

Bieber, who was born in Stratford Ontario, says he knew nothing about the illegal marketing until someone brought it to his attention.

The singer is said to be furious about it since there is really nothing he, or his management team, can do about it.

One person close to the problem says,

“If it was a legal product like shirts, shoes, or hats and companies were using Justin’s name without permission he would have legal recourse to stop it. But since selling pot is illegal there is really nothing that can be done except hope it is a fad and it blows over soon. If he tried to take any action now it would only make the product more attractive to people – that’s what they hope for at least.”

We know Bieber is a devout Christian and has even banned alcohol on his tour bus, studios, and crew areas while on tour.

But as clean cut as he may appear, he does seem to have a wild side. Bieber was seen sporting a new tattoo this week while vacationing with girlfriend Selena Gomez in Maui Hawaii.

The couple was also photographed kissing, grabbing butt, and straddling each other while the entire world looked on.

At the end of the day there is not much Bieber, or his management team can do. This is just one of those things that happens and is really out of his control.

There is always a buzz around celebrity baby names so maybe the trend is moving toward celebrity pot names?

How about Gomez Ganga next?

You know what they say, “Imitation is the best form of flattery”.

Charlie Sheen Warned Not to Smoke on Stage in Toronto or Face Arrest and Fines

Poor Charlie Sheen.

Earlier today he was chastised by the Warner Bros lawyers for talking about returning to “Two and a Half Men”, and now the Canadian Smoking Police have issued him a stern warning about smoking on stage during his show tonight.

Massey Hall and Toronto city regulations prohibit smoking cigarettes while on stage. Since Sheen is an “on stage” chain smoker this could be by far the hardest show he has ever done.

Ontario Health Promotion Minister Margarett Best said public health inspectors will be watching to make sure Sheen doesn't smoke on stage at Massey Hall during his “Violent Torpedo of Truth” show.

Sheen, one of the stars of the cancelled television show “Two and a Half Men” tweeted on Wednesday that he was looking forward to "winning" with Torontonians.

Good luck with that.
