Emma Watson, Justin Bieber (Pacific Coast News, Getty) Emma Watson (Pacific Coast News) The numbers don't lie, short hair definitely reigned supreme this year. The Wall Street Journal has just named Emma Watson 's fresh pixie cut and Justin Bieber 's cropped locks The Most Influential Haircuts of 2011 thanks to their dominance of online searches. Apparently we weren't the only ones salivating over images of the stars' new 'dos, which in hindsight, are strikingly similar. According to the WSJ , The enthusiasm plays out online, where the fastest-rising searches for celebrity haircuts on Google are for Ms. Watson and Mr. Bieber. This is more of a change for women -- for whom short hair hasn't been trendy since the '90s -- than for men, who may justifiably feel sheepish about asking for the cut. Although Emma seems to be growing out her striking cut in favor of softer side-swept locks, the Biebs seems to have fully embraced his "swish" hairstyle...

Justin Bieber: Reach out, touch faith. For the past 15 years, journalist Cathleen Falsani has been a forceful and persuasive popular writer on religious subjects. Her 2004 interview with Barack Obama , which was conducted while she was with the Chicago Sun-Times, is probably the most candid examination of the presidents faith that has ever been printed in a periodical. So when she makes the claim that a powerful spiritual yearning underpins Justin Bieber s music and accounts for at least some of his massive popularity that has to be taken seriously. Falsanis argument, supported by a landslide of reprinted tweets and quotes from interviews, is spelled out in her book "Belieber!," which was published earlier this year. She did not get to talk to the heavily guarded Bieb himself, but documents long conversations with his mom, who is deeply religious and eager to present the young pop star as a singer of faith.

Even with cameras recording the event for a TV special airing Thursday, the pop star from Stratford, Ont., maintained a sense of loose spontaneity over the course of a one-hour, 50-minute show, tossing off performances of obscure tunes and pulling his family members onstage to chat.

In our ongoing quest to bring you all Justin Bieber-related hockey activities, we should point out that Da Bieb practiced with the Toronto Maple Leafs today. From the Globe and Mail: First Michael Bubl, now Justin Bieber. One day after Bubl took the ice with the Vancouver Canucks, Bieber did the same with the Toronto Maple Leafs Wednesday at the Air Canada Centre. The 17-year-old Canadian pop phenom skated with Leafs players Dion Phaneuf , Jake Gardiner , Jonas Gustavsson and Tyler Bozak before taping his Christmas special at Massey Hall. Unlike Bubl, Bieber didnt wear full equipment. He sported a tuque and Leafs track suit and took shots on Gustavsson. Heres Biebs going one-on-one with The Monster: Looks like Bieb can play a little bit. Probably more than Buble, who said he was crappy after skating with the Canucks yesterday.

Date: Wednesday Dec. 21, 2011 9:23 AM ET TORONTO Justin Bieber's holiday show may be the hottest ticket in Toronto this week, but few have better reasons for Christmas cheer this season than his compatriot Michael Buble. While Bieber was set to perform a hotly anticipated acoustic Christmas show at Toronto's Massey Hall on Wednesday night, Buble is fresh off a memorable performance on "Saturday Night Live" and his holiday disc has been one of the hottest items of the holiday shopping season. So, which Canadian crooner is flying higher at the moment? Perhaps a tale of the tape can help determine the victor: AGE: Buble is 36, while Bieber is 17. HOMETOWN: Bieber hails from Stratford, Ont., while Buble grew up in Burnaby, B.C.

(Disney Parks - Getty Images) Justin Bieber might tell his young fans that Santa Claus is Coming to Town on his new Christmas album, but Bieber never believed that jolly old Saint Nicholas was the one sticking presents under his tree. The teen star recently told AOL Music: My mom always told me there wasnt a Santa. This was her logic: She thought if I grew up knowing about Santa then finding out he wasnt real, that it would be like she was lying to me. And then when she told me about God, I maybe wouldnt believe her. So she just wanted to be straight-up and honest with me all the time. But I didnt tell my friends or ruin it for anyone I was a good kid! Yes, even as a little Bieb, the singer was asked to behave in a manner beyond his years. But based on the rest of AOLs interview with Bieber whose holiday ...

And then when she told me about God, I maybe wouldn't believe her. So she just wanted to be straight-up and honest with me all the time." The 17-year-old singer, whose Christmas album "Under the Mistletoe" tops the charts on Billboard's Hot 100, said Christmas for him was more about spending time with loved ones.
