Justin Bieber plays it cool while being interviewed by Radio Disney’sErnie D about his new album My World 2.0 and his upcoming concert tour.Here’s what the 16-year-old Canadian cutie shared:On receiving a Range Rover from Usher:“He took me outside. There was a big bow on top of it….It was amazing, I jumped inside and he popped in his CD [Raymond Vs. Raymond].”On driving (with his manager):“My mom is scared to death to ride with me. I ride with different people, like my manager lets me drive.”On the most exciting thing he’s done the past year and a half:“There has been a lot of great moments, but I would have to say it was pretty amazing performing for the President. That was pretty sweet and presenting at the Grammys… [Meeting Beyonce] definitely has to be up there.”JUSTJARED
On Saturday, Justin Bieber will be one of two performers at Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards — along with Rihanna, he will be hitting the stage for the annual awards show. And while he just missed the deadline to be nominated for any prizes, he does know that when he gets up there to sing, his fans will be surprised by what they get. Bieber is keeping any performance details under wraps.
“I do know what I’m performing, but I don’t want to tell anyone,” he teased. “Were both performing, but not together.”Once he finishes his Kids’ Choice Awards performance, Bieber is also set to hit another iconic stage when he plays “Saturday Night Live” on April 10, with Tina Fey as host. “I’m really excited. I’ve watched it all my life,” he said. “So it’s amazing to be able to perform.”And as if that wasn’t reason enough to celebrate, just this week he released his sophomore album, My World 2.0. On it, he has a collaboration with Ludacris, “Baby,” and Lil Wayne has also said that he wants to work with the teen star. “I would love to work with him in the future, but nothing so far,” he said. Does Bieber really have a swagger coach to thank for being accepted by hip-hop’s elite?“I mean, I just hang out with whoever. I’m also friends with Selena Gomez. I hang out with everyone,” he said, adding any rumors of a swagger coach have been greatly exaggerated. “I mean, it’s just a joke. It’s just something we made up. … I don’t know; I’m just myself.”MTV
Usher will be mentoring the Top 10 on Tuesday (8/7c FOX) as the kids take on R&B/soul songs. He’ll return on Wednesday (9/8c FOX) to perform his new single, “OMG”. Also set to perform–Diddy & Dirty Money will be on hand to perform their single, “Hello, Good morning”
If that isn’t enough, I’m hearing that Justin Bieber will also be performing on Wednesday. At least, that’s what the Idol ticket invitation sent out to peeps on the audience waiting list says.There is a chance that Bieber is taping a performance for later broadcast, but I think it’s safe to bet that The Fetus will be gracing the Idol stage on Wednesday. Ha!
ETA: A twitter friend reminded me that Usher “discovered” Bieber, so expect the fetus to perform.
