Carly Rae Jepsen will now join Justin, Asher Roth, and Cody Simpson as they are all now being managed by Scooter Braun. I heard that it was actually Justin who got Scooter to take on Carly because he likes her so much. #canadiansrock
For over a year Justin and Drake has said many times that Drake will definitely do a duet with JB on his next album. So it didn’t take much to figure out who Justin was talking about when he tweeted:
“You really wanna know who im going into the studio with tonight??#bigbro #CANADA.”
The news of their collabo was confirmed on yesterday (February 9) by Bieber’s manager Scooter Braun on Twitter:
great night. SOLD OUT SHOW for @thewantedmusic . then studio with @justinbieber and @Drake . then my house for some beers with @asherroth
At the 2010 VMAs, Bieber shared with MTV News that he wanted to get his pal on his next album. Then, in a radio interview late last year, he confirmed that Drake, along with Kanye West, was in talks to work on Believe.
Dang! That is not a house. That is a mansion! I guess it really pays to be Justin Bieber’s manager. Take a look at Scooter’s new house in the Hollywood hills. The house was built in 1952 and Scooter bought it last month for $5.7 million. It has 3 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and is 5000 square feet.
And say hi to Scooter in person or writing him a letter, here’s the real address 😛 : 9066 ST IVES Dr Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Justin Bieber’s new Christmas album, “Under the Mistletoe” is more “seductive” than past recordings because “vocally, his balls have dropped,” explained his no-nonsense manager, Scooter Braun, to Billboard magazine this week.
Proving he’s growing up fast, the 17-year-old’s first release from the album, “Mistletoe,” is sung a few octaves lower than his hit “Baby,” released in January 2010. His holiday album, out Nov. 1, includes collaborations with Chris Brown, Usher, Boyz II Men and Busta Rhymes.
But his cover with Mariah Carey of her hit “All I Want for Christmas Is You” was most challenging. Carey agreed to do the duet, as long as Bieber sang in her original high key. “That was the hardest song to do,” Braun told Billboard, adding, “A year ago that would have been no problem.” Bieber also admitted, “Yes, that was high. But I grinded it out, and we got it down.”
Bieber will close the holiday season by performing in Times Square on “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve With Ryan Seacrest.”
Time to clear up some confusion and fill you in on what’s expected from JB music-wise in the coming weeks while he’s on tour.
First, just so you know….The title of the Christmas Charity album is “Under The Mistletoe”. The song Justin just filmed in Franklin, Tennessee (the first song to be released) is called “Mistletoe” only. No “Under The”. The official music video will be released on midnight (New York time) Monday, October 17th.
In terms of hearing his new music early?…. From what I have seen usually JB’s music doesn’t get leaked (usually), but I’ve seen his videos get leaked many times before the official release. The videos for “Next to You” with Chris Brown and “Eenie Meenie” with Sean Kingson are two examples. BTW Ryan Seacrest has made it his mission to be the first to play songs off the Christmas album on his radio show. Fingers crossed. Let’s hope that happens soon.
Speaking of Sean Kingston…. I had mentioned a while ago that there would be 2 remixes coming out. One with Sean Kingston and one with Lil Wayne’s “How to Love”. When Scooter said last week that a JB remix was releasing this week I had assumed it was the one with Sean Kingston and complained on our Facebook fan page about how they would be able to release the remix if Sean didn’t even go into the studio yet to record his part. So when the Lil Wayne remix came out I apologized on Twitter for thinking it was the SK remix. So is there a Sean Kingston & Justin Bieber remix? Sean Kingston himself says yes.
“@JBShrine @dani95jb there is a JB&SK remix!!.. Will be out soon!”
Are you thinking what I’m thinking? I bet you the Sean Kingston remix is the duet they’re doing on JB’s Christmas album. But how could this be as we already know all the songs on the Christmas album will be all originals? Which should mean no remixes on the Christmas album. Imagine they did a remixed version of “Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer”? haha. Now that would be original right?

Congrats to JB for passing another million. Just earlier he passed 13 million followers on Twitter.
Scooter tweeted:

to which JB responded:
@scooterbraun please…u cant mess with them. my fans are the best. #ILOVEMYFANS . Team Bieber goes HARD!! 13 Million!! thank u ALL!!
For about a year now Justin has been #2 on Twitter. I really thought he was gonna catch up to Lady Gaga but I was wrong. Since last year dem Little Monsters have widen the lead on Beliebers. Lady Gaga is now passed 14 million followers. Do you think Justin will ever catch up?
Justin Bieber’s manager Scooter Braun has just signed Cody Simpson to a worldwide management deal.
Obviously, this is big news for the fourteen-year-old artist’s career; Simpson was discovered via YouTube as labels scrambled to discover the next Justin Bieber.
