At just 18 years old, Justin Bieber is worth a reported $105 million and is ranked No.3 on Forbes ' list of "The World's Most Powerful Celebrities," behind Lady Gaga and Oprah and just ahead of U2 . That empire is managed by Scooter Braun , who spoke with Business Insider last Friday to tell us how it happened. The scale of Bieber Inc. is daunting: The newly legal teen's 2011 concert documentary film "Never Say Never" raked in $100 million globally. His live shows around the world bring in $600,000 in gross ticket sales per night. This month alone, Bieber has used his newfound funds to buy a $20,000 limited edition Ducati motorcycle (even though he doesn't have his license yet) and a $6 million Calabasas mansion . But none of this would have been possible if Braun, a young club-promoter-turned-talent agent, had not plucked Bieber from YouTube obscurity. As the oft-told story goes, in 2008 Braun tracked down Bieber after seeing his online video...

Fans, or "Beliebers", in the Southeast Asian country, where he performed a sell-out concert in April last year, demanded the young star apologise. Bieber has a sizeable following in Indonesia, with nearly 20,000 followers on the Bieber Indonesia Twitter account and around 45,000 "likes" on the Justin Bieber Indonesia Facebook page. Kiss 105 FM, an Indonesian radio station popular with teenagers, stopped playing Bieber's songs starting Friday. "Our country has a name, we are not just some random country so we are certainly offended. What he said was inappropriate," the station's manager Beldi Dimardi Abas told AFP. "Some fans were so upset they had unfollowed or blocked his account. We appreciate that he said he loved Indonesia in his last Tweet, but we still think he should apologise." Popular Indonesian singer Syahrini also called for an apology, news website tribunnews.com reported. "Which citizen likes his or her country to be ins...

Justin Bieber is playing golf in a bid to "focus his mind" away from the "madness" of fans in the UK. The Canadian superstar is currently in London to promote his new album Believe. Justin has famously over-zealous fans and the star has been concentrating on one of his favourite hobbies to relax away from the craziness surrounding him. The 18-year-old singer has reportedly been booking secret trips to a golf simulator during his down-time. Justin is mad on golf and has a brilliant swing. It focuses his mind," a source told British newspaper The Sun. Hes had a lot of madness surrounding him from fans since he landed in Britain, so he booked time at an indoor golf simulator yesterday to relax. Earlier this week, it was reported Justin's fans were causing "pandemonium" at a London hotel where he was staying - with the establishment receiving over 2,000 calls. Some enthusiastic fans were trying to get through to his suite at the Royal Garden Hotel...

Justin Bieber is 'too young' to marry Selena Gomez. The 'Boyfriend' hitmaker claims he is not yet old enough to get wed his actress and singer girlfriend Selena, but hopes she is not offended by his decision. Asked by French newspaper Le Parisien if he has plans to propose, he said: 'No, I'm too young. One day, I will get engaged, when I have found the right person in five or 10 years. It doesn't mean Selena is not the right person though! She's going to kill me if I say that!' Justin admits being in a public relationship can be hard, but knows it is something he signed himself up for when he became famous. He added: 'It is not easy to be so young and to have a relationship with someone that doesn't stay private. But, well, I am a public personality, it is what I wanted, so I have to deal with it.' Selena has her problems with Justin too - she recently revealed a photograph of the pair kissing at a Los Angeles Lakers basketball game was r...

Access Hollywood 1 hr 55 mins ago Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber have reached intergalactic levels of fame, but now the pop superstars are reportedly set to play otherworldly creatures on the big screen.

Justin Bieber Stabbed?Justin Bieber was stabbed by a crazed fan outside a nightclub, according to a viral "wall post" that is circulating on Facebook again. Not only that it is just a hoax, it is a scam as well. It has spread on the social networking site late last year. What makes it a scam is that there was no stabbing incident that happened. If there was, it should have been reported in trusted international news sites. Additionally, if a Facebook user will make a mistake on clicking the link, he will be transported to a webpage that appears to contain a Youtube video of the alleged "Justin Bieber stabbing incident." But before the video can be viewed, the user will be asked to share the link on his wall or timeline. After the share, the user has to take a survey before he can access the video. There will be no real video of the incident because it did not happen. The scammers are only using the claim that Justin Bieber was stabbed to earn commission from the mon...

Justin Bieber let his guard down at a recent album playback in London and in a case of 'handbags at dawn' for the young pop star, he managed to insult the event's host, Reggie Yates, as well as the entire UK nation. The Mirror reports that Justin started off on a bad footing, when he decided that the sound system at the playback venue wasn't doing his album any justice. And it ended with a pretty mean mockery of Reggie's accent. Bieber's reputation is normally squeaky-clean; his image is, after all, built around him being the super-polite boy next door that any one of his many fans would be happy to take home to meet their mum. Yesterday, though, the teenager's hormones seemed to have taken over and his petulant behaviour has become more of a talking point than the music that the 200 media types had assembled to listen to. When Yates offered him a seat at the start of the playback, he replied "no, I want to introduce my song." He was clearly irrita...

Justin Bieber mocked the English accent while launching his new album. The 'Boyfriend' hitmaker launched his latest record 'Believe' at London's Supperclub on Monday night (23.04.12), and when 'The Voice' co-presenter Reggie Yates asked him some pre-vetted questions he responded by making a quip at the local dialect. In response to one query, the 18-year-old singer joked: 'It's 'think' with a 'th', not an 'f'.' During the event, Justin slammed the creative process for one of his new tracks, 'As Be Alright', which his manager Scott 'Scooter' Braun informed him was produced in Indonesia. As the song was played, Justin said: 'I was in some random country. I recorded it in a studio. Some little place. They didn't know what they were doing.' The 'Never Say Never' hitmaker also distanced himself from comparisons to Justin Timberlake, insisting he sounds 'nothing like' the former 'N...

Justin Bieber has been nothing but charm personified in his home country of the Usa; however upon coming to Britain he looks like he might have to scrub up his PR act a little, after managing to insult media types at a press conference in London by being petulant and bratty, as well as making fun of the local accent. Oh dear Justin. The UK's Daily Mirror newspaper reports that the 18 year-old was giving the media a chance to hear his new album 'Believe' but as he arrived at London's Supperclub, he refused to listen to host Reggie Yates who attempted to engage the star in some chat about the forthcoming release. Offering the pop star a seat, Yates was instead met with a whining reply of "No, I want to introduce my song," before getting his manager to load up the CD. Bieber then turned the LP off three tracks in after complaining about the sound quality of the speakers. Bieber then reacted badly to being asked how it felt to being compared to Justin Timberlake, ...

Bieber and Gomez (Getty Images) Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez already have the pop music world in their grasp, and now they're on their way to becoming the hottest couple in all of pop culture. In our fourth annual roundup of Hottest Couples , the Biebs and his lady rank number 15. They're the hottest teen couple since Justin and Britney, and nothing can keep them from ruling the charts. Bieber collaborated with some of music's biggest stars for a Christmas album, went on tour, won tons of awards, and is working on a new record. His little lady also toured, filmed a movie, and was most understanding when Bieber got tangled up in a gnarly, totally fake paternity scandal. They have yet to prove their love isn't the world's most genius publicity stunt, but after celebrating their one-year anniversary in March, we say they're on the right track. For those curious about our process of ranking these couples, this year we've refined our definition of "hotnes...

Justin Bieber has over 20 million beliebers following him on Twitter , but on Saturday during his "RANDONTWITTERHOUR" he singled out one - Mariah Yeater. "Dear mariah yeeter...we have never met...so from the heart i just wanted to say... http://youtu.be/RaPpjTZa9bA," Bieber tweeted. The link took his followers to a YouTube video of Sacha Baron Cohen's character, Borat, saying "you will never get this." "You will never get this, you will never get it, la la la la la la," Borat says in the video. "He behind his cage. He cries, he cries and everybody laughs. She goes, 'You never get this.' But one time he break cage and he 'get this' and then we all laugh. High five!" Late last year, Yeater accused Bieber of being her son's father.

Justin Bieber and a Selena Gomez look-alike on the set of his 'Boyfriend' video Well, ladies and gents, it appears the reason Justin Bieber hasn't released the full version of his "Boyfriend" video because it's not done yet! Biebs was seen in L.A. filming some last-minute scenes for the video with a cute young lady who happens to look a lot like his girlfriend, Selena Gomez . I don't know if I'm totally think out of the box here, but Bieber, why don't you just... hire your girlfriend? You know she's an actress, right?

Justin Bieber has publicly mocked the California woman who sensationally accused the singer of fathering her child last year (11) by poking fun at her on his Twitter.com blog. The Baby hitmaker found himself at the centre of controversy in November (11) when Mariah Yeater, then 20, claimed Bieber had impregnated her during a backstage romp at one of his concerts in Los Angeles in 2010. Yeater told reporters she had evidence proving Bieber was the father of her baby son Tristyn, but she withdrew her legal demand for a paternity test and child support after the singer's representatives vehemently denied her allegations and threatened to sue. Bieber voluntarily took a Dna test to put an end to the scandal, and the case subsequently slipped out of the headlines. But the teenage superstar, who is dating singer/actress Selena Gomez, revisited the matter again on Saturday (21Apr12) when he went on Twitter and posted a series of random thoughts online. Closing a segment he called his ...
