Celebrity Death!

Bieber Fever: Should Biebs next step be Dancing With The Stars?

Bieber Fever hits DWTS!

Should Biebs next step be on Dancing With The Stars?

[Apr. 20]

Bieber Fever victims, be cool. While Justin Bieber himself may have caught the acting fever, after his stint on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation earlier this year, when he was finally killed off as a troubled teen bomber, he has no intention of giving up music anytime soon. He has said his first passion always will be music — singing and dancing, though he really has enjoyed being in front of the camera and would like to do some more work in television or film. But what about him doing another reality TV type gig — like Dancing With The Stars — that would give him the chance to show off a bit more of his personal and professional nature to the Bieber Fever gang like he did in his 3D movie about his life history?

Reports HollyScoop:

“I definitely want to do more acting, and further my career in that area, that’s something I would love to do.”

Singing, dancing, acting. What’s next other than joining up with adult and other teen celebrities that could be more sensational than DWTS, Bieber fever basket-weaving? Soap Opera special guest appearances on a show like All My Children with actress Susan Lucci (maybe getting involved in a cougar romance)? Oh wait… scratch that. All My Children just got canceled.

We’ve already heard teasers from Romeo about doing something special with the Biebs on Dancing with the Stars, should Romeo make it to the finals. Seriously, though, what else could the Biebs get into later in his career. He has a long way to go, certainly.

Justin Bieber was a hit on the New York late night comedy series Saturday Night Live with actress Tina Fey. And, again, for those who don’t know about the Biebs life story he’s had his own movie, Justin Bieber: Never Say Never.

With the hint that he could be appearing on Dancing with the Stars coming from Romeo (a hip hop performer who is the youngest on DWTS this 2011 season), we have to wonder … could Justin Bieber make it as a reality television star who competes with other star celebs for the general public and Mirror Ball trophy hyped media attention?

Celebrity Teens: Everything fine at home for Miley Cyrus but not in USA?

Miley Cyrus says everything is fine at home but not in the USA?

[Apr. 19]

Green celebrity and Disney princess Miley Cyrus has been the source of a good deal of drama lately, and we don’t mean in terms of her Hannah Montana character. Last October, her parents, Billy Ray Cyrus and Trish Cyrus, were talking divorce, in December there were some issues between Billy Ray and Miley about her partying (SNL bong sketch, anyone?), and earlier this year father Billy Ray Cyrus was talking to GQ about the effect of celebrity on poor Miley. But Miley Cyrus says everything is fine now.

Fine.

[Which, of course the general public knows means freaked out, insecure, neurotic, and emotional — but who are we to judge? Miley says everything at home is good in her family life and that is all there is to it.]

On Monday April 19, 2011 — Disney princess Chelsea Kane donned some Britney Spears type ultra low cut fringe pants, dressed like an American flag, and danced one of the best Samba dances with dance partner Mark Ballas the Dancing With The Stars television series has ever seen. The song — played as a cover tune by the DWTS band on American theme night? Party In the USA by none other than fellow celebrity teen star Miley Cyrus.
