Justin Bieber Is Having the Best Holiday Season Ever
On top of a Christmas album and countless coinciding music videos, an appearance in the Disney parade, and performing for President Obama, it's just been announced that the Biebs is filming a TV special, "Justin Bieber: Home for the Holidays." The program will film at a secret location in Toronto before it airs December 22 on MuchMusic and CTV in Canada. No word if it'll air in the US, but, no fear, we imagine it will end up on the web in no time.
Bieber talked about how excited he is to give fans a glimpse of his home life. He said: "The holidays are a very special time of the year for me and I'm looking forward to coming home and ringing them in with my friends and family."
Proceeds from the special will go to Bieber's Believe charity. A portion of the profits from his album, Under the Mistletoe, also went to the organization. After all, the holidays are about presents and twinkly lights, but also about giving back.
Bieber said in a statement about his initative: "I am launching the Believe Charity Drive because I know firsthand that if you believe in your dreams, everything is possible. The Believe Charity Drive directly benefits charities that are making a difference in the world. You can ... donate as little as one dollar, or even donate your time, because everything will make a difference. Please join me in our quest to raise millions of dollars by the release of my new 2012 album, Believe. I know that with your help, we can make a change."
And it sounds like the holiday album has raised a heap of money for the charity. Scooter Braun, Bieber's manager, tweeted about the sweeping success of the recording. "@JustinBieber's christmas album 'Under The Mistletoe' is the biggest selling International Christmas album for UMG in a decade!!" he tweeted. "That makes it the biggest selling holiday album on Universal in the last decade moving ahead of Andrea Bocelli. very proud and at this rate by Christmas @justinbieber's 'Under The Mistletoe' will be the biggest 4th qtr album release of the entire UMG-EMI system!"
