Bieber Fever: Should Biebs next step be Dancing With The Stars?

Bieber Fever hits DWTS!

Should Biebs next step be on Dancing With The Stars?

[Apr. 20]

Bieber Fever victims, be cool. While Justin Bieber himself may have caught the acting fever, after his stint on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation earlier this year, when he was finally killed off as a troubled teen bomber, he has no intention of giving up music anytime soon. He has said his first passion always will be music — singing and dancing, though he really has enjoyed being in front of the camera and would like to do some more work in television or film. But what about him doing another reality TV type gig — like Dancing With The Stars — that would give him the chance to show off a bit more of his personal and professional nature to the Bieber Fever gang like he did in his 3D movie about his life history?

Reports HollyScoop:

“I definitely want to do more acting, and further my career in that area, that’s something I would love to do.”

Singing, dancing, acting. What’s next other than joining up with adult and other teen celebrities that could be more sensational than DWTS, Bieber fever basket-weaving? Soap Opera special guest appearances on a show like All My Children with actress Susan Lucci (maybe getting involved in a cougar romance)? Oh wait… scratch that. All My Children just got canceled.

We’ve already heard teasers from Romeo about doing something special with the Biebs on Dancing with the Stars, should Romeo make it to the finals. Seriously, though, what else could the Biebs get into later in his career. He has a long way to go, certainly.

Justin Bieber was a hit on the New York late night comedy series Saturday Night Live with actress Tina Fey. And, again, for those who don’t know about the Biebs life story he’s had his own movie, Justin Bieber: Never Say Never.

With the hint that he could be appearing on Dancing with the Stars coming from Romeo (a hip hop performer who is the youngest on DWTS this 2011 season), we have to wonder … could Justin Bieber make it as a reality television star who competes with other star celebs for the general public and Mirror Ball trophy hyped media attention?

What is a green celebrity?

What is a green celebrity? An eco-friendly, pet friendly, or humanitarian celeb who uses their star power wisely. For example, actress Angelina Jolie is a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations. Her partner Brad Pitt studies how to build sustainable architecture in his spare time. The two donate nearly half their annual income from making movies to charitable causes. Actor George Clooney is a humanitarian celebrity who organized a telethon to help the victims of natural disaster when a major earthquake hit Haiti. Actress Olivia Wilde is a vegetarian. So are actresses Pamela Anderson, Anne Hathaway, Natalie Portman, and Alicia Silverstone. Actress Betty White is a pet-friendly celebrity who has rescued pets, donated large amounts of money to animal rescue centers, and believes animals have rights, too. Actor Ed Begley, Jr. is an eco-friendly celebrity who has added solar power systems and water conservation systems to his celebrity home. Want to know more about what is a green celebrity?

Miley Cyrus says everything is fine at home but not in the USA?

[Apr. 19]

Green celebrity and Disney princess Miley Cyrus has been the source of a good deal of drama lately, and we don’t mean in terms of her Hannah Montana character. Last October, her parents, Billy Ray Cyrus and Trish Cyrus, were talking divorce, in December there were some issues between Billy Ray and Miley about her partying (SNL bong sketch, anyone?), and earlier this year father Billy Ray Cyrus was talking to GQ about the effect of celebrity on poor Miley. But Miley Cyrus says everything is fine now.

Fine.

[Which, of course the general public knows means freaked out, insecure, neurotic, and emotional — but who are we to judge? Miley says everything at home is good in her family life and that is all there is to it.]

On Monday April 19, 2011 — Disney princess Chelsea Kane donned some Britney Spears type ultra low cut fringe pants, dressed like an American flag, and danced one of the best Samba dances with dance partner Mark Ballas the Dancing With The Stars television series has ever seen. The song — played as a cover tune by the DWTS band on American theme night? Party In the USA by none other than fellow celebrity teen star Miley Cyrus.

[Apr. 19]

Green celebrity and star of Scream and Charlie’s Angels, actress Drew Barrymore, was rocking it red at a book party in Los Angeles last Wednesday. This week, her new hairstyle has all the tongues in West Hollywood, CA and across America wagging discussing whether her new long red hair look is hot or not. Barrymore is known for changing hairstyles like other people change clothes. She’s been everything from platinum blond to black and in between. Now red. In the world of celebrity hairstyles, she is a top contender for changing it up. Any particular motive behind the color change this season? Us Magazine explains:

“Drew just felt like trying out red, and it looks great on her — she loves it!” Tracey Cunningham, Redken Creative Consultant for Color tells UsMagazine.com.

Well, that seems simple enough.Bit our problem with the new doo is — quite frankly — she looks less like the cutie pie girl from ET and a bit more like Lindsay Lohan (at least in the picture of the celebrity hairstyle comparison posted at popeater.com). In the pic above, she’s hot either way (mainly because Drew Barrymore is a green celebrity — but just sayin. Khloe Kardashian has or vote for best red hair dye job of the year.

Strange News: Liv Tyler inspired Elf Ears plastic surgery trend?

Strange News!

Liv Tyler inspired Elf Ears new plastic surgery trend for youth too young to remember original Star Trek?

[Apr. 16]

Spock ears, or elf ears as they are known to the younger generation that grew up watching the Lord Of The Rings trilogy instead of the original Star Trek, are becoming all the rage among young folks experimenting with a cadre of new body modifications, including tongue splitting, unusual piercings, and even prosthetic horns. However, these pointed ears are actually quite elegant in their appearance, lending themselves gracefully to slim, long faces.

But there are green celebrities who have popularized the look. Feminine faces especially seem to reap the benefit, as many have fallen for the elf character played by green celebrity Liv Tyler in Lord of the Rings. [For anyone who has lived under a rock the past three decades, actress Liv Tyler is the daughter of Aerosmith rocker Steven Tyler who is the new judge on American Idol.]

And while green celebrity Leonard Nimoy and his Star Trek Vulcan character Spock popularized the pointed ear look in the 1960s, the look is becoming popular again. Now there are body modification artists capable of performing the surgery almost as simple as an ear or nose piercing, even if more painful than a typical piercing.
