Justin Bieber To Release The New Book

Justin Bieber is one of the world's most famous pop stars but is also decidedly more Jesusy than his day job might lead some to believe.

When the young Canadian-born singer burst onto the scene, he was discovered in part by singing Christian songs on YouTube. But that is just the beginning of Bieber's faith journey, spelled out in a new book on the young star.
Cathleen Falsani sarcastically self-proclaims she is the "pre-eminent Justin Bieber scholar in North America."

Falsani has penned "Belieber! Fame, Faith, and the Heart of Justin Bieber," a book exploring the faith life of the tween sensation.

An award-winning religion journalist and a nationally syndicated columnist on the God beat, Falsani came to writing about Bieber almost accidentally.

For those party poopers who say dozens of unauthorized biographies, a book, a 3D movie and seventeen billion "intimate" pictures should cover the entirety of one very special 17-year-old's life, Justin Bieber has three words for you: he's "just getting started."

For those who need that to be spelled out for them in gigantic print, the Biebs has just announced his second book with publisher Harper Collins will be titled Justin Bieber: Just Getting Started.

"I'm so excited to be working on another book with HarperCollins," the best-selling author tells Us Weekly. "Being able to share my story with my fans through these books is an absolute privilege. I can't wait to show them more about my life on tour and in the studio in this next book."

According to the Us, the book will let fans get "up close and personal" with the Swiss Chalet-loving singer through exclusive behind-the-scenes photos and quotes about his tour and recording sessions.

"With all of his musical and on-screen successes, and his millions of fans on Twitter and Facebook, Justin is dominating the world of pop culture," Susan Katz, President and Publisher of HarperCollins Children's Books, tells Us. "We are excited to be publishing the next chapter of his sensational career."

Due in September, Justin Bieber: Just Getting Started is the follow up to Bieber's 2010 book, First Step 2 Forever: My Story, which sold over 1 million copies worldwide.

Well, never say never. If you thought a 16-year-old publishing an autobiography was bad, now there’s a second one on the way for you to frown about. Once again, Justin Bieber is putting pen to paper and camera to face for his new book.

Justin Bieber is like sugar to the world — sweet, everywhere and never enough.
The 17-year-old is releasing a second book recounting his life since the publication of his first book in 2010, complete with trillions of photographs.
The book is titled Justin Bieber: Just Getting Started, and it's going to be published once again with HarperCollins.

"I'm so excited to be working on another book with HarperCollins," J.Biebs shared with Us Weekly. "Being able to share my story with my fans through these books is an absolute privilege. I can't wait to show them more about my life on tour and in the studio in this next book."

The book promises Bieber fans the chance to get up-close and personal with the star, and is scheduled to be released in September.

Who knew that a 17-year-old could live two books' worth of life? At this rate, by the time Justin Bieber hits fifty, he would have published around 20 books… about himself.

This book, no doubt, is already predestined to be become a best-seller. Behold — the future of literature!

Justin Bieber is letting fans into his world again! The singer just announced that he's penning a second photo book, Justin Bieber: Just Getting Started. Slated to come out in September, the singer is bringing fans behind-the-scenes of his My World tour, his crazy life, and into the recording studio in this photo-based book.

"I'm so excited to be working on another book with HarperCollins," Justin says. "Being able to share my story with my fans through these books is an absolute privilege. I can't wait to show them more about my life on tour and in the studio in this next book."

Justin's first book, First Step 2 Forever: My Story, came out in October 2010 and has sold more than one millions copies.

Justin Bieber has been logging major hours in the studio lately, but he's also working on yet another new project. The 17-year-old is set to release his second photographic book this fall.

The follow-up to 'First Step 2 Forever: My Story' will be called 'Justin Bieber: Just Getting Started,' and will mark his second release with publisher HarperCollins. The photography book will offer Beliebers more never-before-seen images of Justin on tour and in the studio recording his forthcoming album, 'Believe.'

"I'm so excited to be working on another book with HarperCollins," the pop star said in a press release. "Being able to share my story with my fans through these books is an absolute privilege. I can't wait to show them more about my life on tour and in the studio in this next book."

Fans can expect to get their hands on 'Justin Bieber: Just Getting Started' in September. Are you psyched about JB's new book?

Lady Gaga Inspired Collection At The WIFW

International pop diva Lady Gaga's eclectic style became an inspiration for designer Raakesh Agarvwal's collection at the second day of ongoing Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week Thursday.

"Lately, I have been listening to Lady Gaga a lot. Initially I never liked her, but when I started listening to her, I started falling in love with her. I love her style but I don't know how many people would be able to carry it," Agarvwal told IANS.

"I love her style statement and she is unbelievably creative. It was a challenge because she is always creative and I wanted that whole Lady Gaga creativeness to come into much more wearable garments. The garments were cut sharply for the body so that a normal woman can pick up and wear it and yet feel like Lady Gaga," he added.

The designer's collection included gold sequined jump suits, short dresses, jackets and gowns made from fabrics like velvets, jerseys, wool, satin and silk. However, the collection was dominated by leather.
"The whole collection is inspired by lot of architectures from different eras like the Taj Mahal in Agra to Blue mosque in Istanbul and Louvre Museum in Paris. We have taken different techniques, artworks and motifs and blended it with the sexy look with a bit of Lady Gaga style thrown into it," he said.

The 54th Grammys were true to form. Within the first half of the program it was hard to pick which element provided the most violent cringe – the sight of Lady Gaga, head wrapped in a fishnet stocking and holding a giant sceptre, bowing solemnly during a prayer for Whitney Houston? The performance by domestic abuser Chris Brown a few minutes after the prayer for Houston, herself a victim of domestic violence? The somnambulant number by Paul McCartney, dressed as a cruise ship maitre d’?

We’re going to go with the moment when Ryan Seacrest uttered this wholly incongruous statement: “Here to kick off our celebration of The Beach Boys, please welcome Maroon 5.”

The edgy, outrageous style of pop sensation Lady Gaga set the tune for designer Raakesh Agarwal's collection at the ongoing Wills India Fashion Week here.

"I love Lady Gaga and her style. She has a unique style and no one can emulate it. She knows how to make wacky look good. My collection is more wearable. There are women who want to dress up like Gaga but don't dare to. This collection is for them," Agarwal said.

His fall-winter collection mainly consisted of gold metal bustiers, pants and jackets made of faux leather, fur shrugs and jumpsuits.

"I have also been inspired by the architecture of India like the Taj Mahal as well as the other south and central Asian countries like the Blue Mosque in Istanbul, Turkey. I have used brass to make the bustiers. The brass had to be heated and then moulded. But in the end all the hard work paid off. I used faux leather, a lot of velvet, wool and satin," he said.

The show started with a performance by singer Anushka Manchanda.Singer Anushka Manchanda opened Agarvwal's show with a small gig, pepping up the mood in the show area.

"Anushka is real star and one of the best pop stars in the country till now. Moreover, because the collection was about Lady Gaga meeting architectural collection, I thought it would be better if I take a popstar rather than having any Bollywood celebrity or a supermodel," Agarvwal added.

Madonna Dazzled The Super Bowl!

Madonna dazzled the Super Bowl fans with her Cleopatra-influenced outfit and gladiator-like support artists at the Super bowl halftime show at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

The super Sunday has seen the “Material Girl,” in one of her best performances, joined by Nicki Minaj during the performance.Madonna made her grand entry onto the stage with the hit song “Vogue,” wearing Egyptian head gear, gold ensemble cheerleader skirt and spiked black boots.

She moved on to perform "Give Me All Your Luvin,” her latest single with Nicki Minaj and she closed her 12-minute performance with "Like a Prayer".Earlier, Madonna revealed how much she was excited about the Super Bowl halftime performance and how hard she was preparing for it.

"Great attention to detail has been paid to my wardrobe. There will be no wardrobe malfunction - I promise," she the reports ahead of the Super Bowl 2012.

"In over 25 years of performing that I've done, I have never worked so hard or been so scrupulous or detail-oriented or freaked out as much as I have,” she added.

Within minutes of the Superbowl XLVI half-time show ending the internet was already in a fevered debate about the Material Girl’s apparent lip-synching.

It’s safe to say that Madonna delivered precisely what her fans and critics have come to expect from her stage show (minus the risque’ behaviour). Her set was a high energy medley of her hits from the last three decades featuring the talents of modern performers Cee Lo Green and Nicki Minaj, and an intricately well choreographed dance routine.

Twitter celebs came out in force to show support for Madge with Kelly Osbourne Tweeting that the performance made her heart “pump with so much joy”, and Ashton Kutcher adding “#fact Madonna is crushing it!”.

It seems hard to disagree that the performance was musically almost perfect. Some might say – a little TOO perfect.

Given the elaborate and strenuous dance routines Madonna was required to perform – it seems strange that the 53 year old was never out of breath or less than note perfect. The debate continues.With more and more pop artists miming their shows and charging more and more for the opportunity to do so, it’s easy to see why there is such a backlash.

It's one of the most talked about performances of the year, and now it's being reported that Madonna is to take center stage at Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis, Indiana on Sunday, February 5, 2012.
According to reports, the "Material Girl" has signed on to perform at this year's pro pigskin finale, which will be held at Lucas Oil Stadium.

While reps of both the pop icon and the National Football League have kept mum about the alleged agreement up to this point, a source told Gossip Cop the deal "looks promising."

This isn't the first time Madge has been linked to the musical spot of the world's single largest sporting event, as the singer has been rumored to take the stage twice before.

After a lengthy hiatus from the music world, Madonna has officially made her comeback in a big way - as the Queen of Pop took center stage at Lucas Oil Field in Indianapolis for an energetically captivating Super Bowl XLVI halftime show performance on Sunday night (February 5).

The Material Girl treated the millions watching around the globe to a string of four songs, as she was dressed as Cleopatra upon entrance while performing "Vogue" followed by "Music".
