Justin Bieber: 'I'm a country boy'

The newly minted CMT Music Award winner says he shares his mother's love of the country sound.

Before he took home the trophy for Collaborative Video of the Year at the CMT Music Awards on Wednesday night, Justin Bieber professed his love for all things country on the red carpet.

"I'm really glad to be here," he told CMT, with the guys of Rascal Flatts by his side. "It's great."

It wasn't just an exciting night for him, but also for Mama Bieber, who happens to be a big country music aficionado. "It's great; it's so many people my mother admires, 'cause she loves country music, and I do too," he continued. "So it's really great to be here with Rascal Flatts."

It was on the set for his winning video, "That Should Be Me," that Bieber first cut his hair. In the end, the sacrifice of his trademark locks seemed worth it.

"Some of the fans liked it; some of the fans didn't. They were just upset he cut it," Bieber joked, nodding to Rascal Flatts' Gary LeVox.

The video for "That Should Be Me," a Never Say Never - The Remixes track (which was a reworked version of the song that first appeared on My World 2.0) is a lo-fi, behind-the-scenes, "making of the video" performance clip. But it was good enough to beat out the likes of country music superstars like Jason Aldean with Kelly Clarkson; Kid Rock featuring Sheryl Crow; Loretta Lynn, Miranda Lambert and Sheryl Crow, as well as Aaron Lewis featuring George Jones and Charlie Daniels.

"First of all, I just want to say how honored I am to be here ... with Rascal Flatts," Bieber said while accepting his first country award. "How amazing are Rascal Flatts, everybody? I want to thank my mom. I want to thank my family. And I want to thank Rascal Flatts for even jumping on the song with me."

Eminem puts Bieber in his sights

Justin Bieber has become the latest star to suffer the wrath of Eminem after the rapper described him as "evil" in his new song.

The 8 Mile star is known for taking aim at celebrities in his lyrics, famously poking fun at Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson in the past, while his new song A Kiss mocks Lady Gaga and brands her a "male lady".

It has now emerged Bieber is also a target in the track, with Eminem branding the teenage pop singer "evil" and a "demon" in the song.

Eminem raps, "Him (God) don't give a damn about Bieber, do Him?/What a demon, a behemoth, evil just seems to be seeping through him."

But the hip-hop star's celebrity comments are not all negative - the lyrics reveal he is a big fan of pop star Katy Perry: "Aw hell Shady, he'll tell it like it is/So Katy Perry he's on her tail/He's tailgating."

The song is part of Eminem's Bad Meets Evil side-project, a collaboration with rapper Royce Da 5'9".

Justin Bieber, Mark Wahlberg Open Up About Basketball Flick

'It's going to be crazy,' Bieber promises at MTV Movie Awards.

It seems that things are well under way for the basketball movie starring Mark Wahlberg and Justin Bieber. How do we know? Well, the guys themselves updated us this weekend at two of the biggest events of the summer.

Wahlberg told MTV News on Saturday night at Spike's Guys Choice Awards that while he thought he'd be playing Bieber's part initially, he eventually came around to playing the "old guy" role.

"Wait till you see me and Bieber in the flick. Think of like 'The Color of Money,' " he teased. "So I get this call from Paramount [where they tell me about the story about] an old guy and a young guy. I'm like, 'Cool, let's get Jack [Nicholson]. Let's get Robert De Niro. Let's get Robert Duvall.' And they go, 'What about Garrett Hedlund?'

"I'm like, 'For what?' " he further recalled. "They're like, 'For the young guy.' "

The next day, at the MTV Movie Awards, Justin Bieber seemed equally excited about the project, if not a bit tight-lipped. "I know ," he promised. "You'll have to see. I can't really reveal too much about it."

According to previous reports, Wahlberg has been keeping tabs on the young star. "He loves the idea," Wahlberg said last month. "He's been sending me video, he sent me a video of himself, and, yeah, I think he's really talented." The idea was sparked after Wahlberg and partner Stephen Levinson caught Bieber playing basketball in February during a celebrity game held during NBA All-Star Game weekend.

Justin Bieber: I'm a Twilight fan

The pop star was asked to choose between the popular vampire saga and the equally popular Harry Potter series, but struggled to make up his mind.

Justin, whose movie Never Say Never won Best Jaw-dropping Moment at the MTV Movie Awards last night, had to think hard before choosing Twilight.

“I can’t say!” he told MTV, “But if I had to choose… Twilight over Harry Potter.”

The teen heartthrob also revealed that it felt amazing to share the moment that bagged him the award in his 3D movie.

Never Say Never follows the pop star’s journey to the top and shows some breath-taking scenes of the 17-year-old performing.

“It felt great,” he said. “Obviously that was my first performance at Madison Square Gardens [in New York] and just to have that experience… it was great.”

Justin Bieber packs a punch

IN recent pictures of JUSTIN BIEBER with his top off, the teen singer wasn't exactly displaying huge guns and a six-pack.

But according to one of his gym buddies he's deceptively strong.

Tyrell Ogloff trained with Bieber at his local gym when the singer visited his home town of Stratford, Ontario, in Canada.

He said: "Justin was definitely on a mission to pump up.

"He's pretty small but can pump a lot.

"He benched 120 pounds for his chest and did about 400 crunches and sit-ups to build his core. He's in really good shape."

Justin Bieber's New Perfume - Someday

Seeing so much success with his initial venture into the scent market, Justin Bieber is ready to help the ladies smell just right, as well.

The "Never Say Never" star went all out for the gals' perfume, as it comes in a heart-shaped flower of a top to the removable charms hanging from the neck. 

According to WWD, Bieber's new perfume is called Someday - while the concoction was created by Honorine Blanc of Firmenich, which described the offering as a “fruity gourmand” formula.

Chiming in on his latest venture while touring the world, Justin said, “Let’s be real, the way a girl smells is very important to a guy! I have such a deep connection with my fans, so creating a fragrance that I personally love is another way I can bring them closer to my world."

With part of the profits going towards Pencils of Promise, which builds schools, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation, the 17-year-old happily told, “Not only am I able to create a fragrance for all my fans, but I am able to give back to charity, which is a huge priority for me. The people at Give Back Brands really get me, and what I represent and care about.”

Continuing on about working with Honorine Blanc of Firmenich on the ladies fragrance, Bieber dished, “They really let me take the lead on the entire project, because I know my fans better than anyone — from working with the team on the development of the fragrance itself to helping to design the bottle and packaging."

Set to ship to select stores in June, the fragrance will be offered as an eau de parfum spray ranging in price from $35 for a 1 oz. size to $45 for the 1.7 oz. version to $55 for 3.4 oz.
