Bieber: Sen. Klobuchar should be locked up, and put away in cuffs for copyright bill

Teen musician Justin Bieber declared during a radio interview Friday that Minnesota Democratic Sen . Amy Klobuchar should be locked up, and put away in cuffs as punishment for her bill to toughen copyright infringement laws. FreeBieber.org, a website dedicated to defeating Klobuchar s bill, promoted the audio from the interview, declaring that Justin Bieber speaks out against S.978. Fight for the Future the group behind FreeBieber.org strongly opposes the pending Senate bill that Klobuchar proposed in May. The bill passed through the Senate Judiciary Committee without objection earlier this year and would amend the Net Act of 1997. The bill harmonizes the penalties for large-scale infringement with modern methods of piracy, i.e. online streaming, said Sandra Aisters, Executive Director of the Copyright Alliance, a non-partisan groupdedicated to the value of copyright as an agent for creativity, jobs and growth.

A lot has happened since, so it's time to update. Fight for the Future expresses concern about S. 978 ,which would make unauthorized web streaming of copyrighted work a felony, and says Bieber's freedom is at stake.

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 hes growing up fast, the 17-year-olds 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 Years Rockin Eve With Ryan Seacrest . AP Justin Bie

Does Selena Gomez's New Puppy Not Like Justin Bieber?

Justin recently sat down with Access Hollywood 's Billy Bush while promoting his new Christmas album, "Under the Mistletoe," and chatted about Selena 's new furry friend. PLAY IT NOW: Access Extended: Justin Biebers Puppy Love With Selena Gomez "She saw this dog, and she fell in love with it. She was like, 'I need to have it!'" Justin told Billy. "We just went to the shelter just to look around. Turns out, she brought one home." The puppy, a husky mix named Baylor, was instantly drawn to the 19-year-old actress/singer, but not exactly taken with Biebs. VIEW THE PHOTOS: Young Love!

Kanye West, Drake Lend Justin Bieber Some Cred

Justin Bieber lost his swagger coach , Ryan Good, earlier this month, but the hip-hop community has not lost its love for the 17-year-old pop star who caused at least three riots in 2011. Bieber told Capital FM (via MTV News ) he's lined up some "cool people" to collaborate on his next album, due out shortly after his Christmas disc Under the Mistletoe' on October 31: Kanye West and Drake. Why would two of hip-hop's biggest stars team up with a Canadian kid who was denied the chance to rap at the BET Awards by DJ Premier ( who balked when Bieber wanted to get Ludacris to pen his verse: "Justin, you got to take a backseat. Write your own rhyme, honey. You got to call him 'honey' on that one")? The aforementioned riots and 2 million copies of My World 2.0 Bieber sold probably help. Bieber has had an unlikely bromance with the hip-hop world since Usher began guiding his career three years ago. He dropped his own (likely ghost-written) freestyle

Justin Bieber's Bad Biehabior: was His 'F-You' Shirt in Poor Taste?

Image
In his most recent display of questionable taste, teen heartthrob Justin Bieber was spotted in L.A. on Friday, sporting a shirt that said, "F**k You! And f**k her too!" The shirt references the explicit version of Cee Lo Green's song "Forget You," but 17-year-old Bieber's decision to wear it in public is raising questions'"and eyebrows. With his every move followed, tweeted, documented, and discussed by his obsessive band of "Beliebers," Justin may be at a turning point in his career. At 17-years-old, he's close to adulthood, yet his recent behavior may cost him some of his younger fans. In May, fans caught a glimpse of a Justin's tattoo, which some regard as a departure from his formerly "wholesome" image. The tat, which spells "Yeshua" vertically down his ribcage, means "Jesus" in Hebrew. He later revealed that his father has a matching tat, and that the two got inked together. While it's cer
