Entertainment Weekly has released a preview of Bieber's one-hour holiday special, This Is Justin Bieber, which airs tonight on TLC. The clip shows the Biebs riding around London atop a red bus with British personality Reggie Yates, who at one point tries to teach Justin how to do a proper British accent. The results are...well let's just say that BBC TV probably won't be casting Justin in any period dramas.

This Is Justin Bieber promises to take fans beyond the music and past the hype with an intimate look into the inner workings of Justin Biebers world. If you're into that sort of thing, the special airs tonight, Wednesday December 21, at 9pm on TLC.

There's some major drama going on with Real Housewives of New Jersey stars Teresa Giudice and her husband Joe, but this time the trouble is all off-scr! een. On Tuesday a New Jersey grand jury indicted Joe on two counts; the charges include one count of wrongfully using identifying information of another and one count of impersonation. The charges could result in up to 10 years in prison.

The indictment stems from an incident that happened last year, in which Joe used his brother's marriage and birth certificates to obtain a driver's license after his own license had been suspended following a DUI. Bravo has not yet made a statement about the indictment, and reps for the Giudices have declined to comment.

Twitter star and blogger Kelly Oxford has landed a deal with NBC to develop a new comedy series. Oxford's witty, unfiltered twitter page has garnered over 266,000 followers, including some well known comedy writers like Community's Dan Harmon.

The mother of three doesn't hold anything back when she tweets. "I think I made a decision early on that I'm just going to be totally honest, and if that means some people are turned off, then I guess they're turned off," she told Paste Magazine earlier this year. Experiments in turning twitter stardom into great TV have had varying degrees of succes (remember $#*! My Dad Says?), but we like Oxford's chances...
