The 3D concert extravaganza Justin Bieber: Never Say Never has turned out to be a great idea for Team Bieber.  Given the Canadian-born pop star’s massive appeal and huge variety of promotional goodies bearing his image, it was only natural to hop onto the movie train.  Given Bieber’s incredible backstory (rising from YouTube sensation to legitimate star), it’s a natural fit for the big screen, but it wasn’t enough.  A lengthened and expanded Justin Bieber: Never Say Never will be debuting in movie theaters across the US and Canada starting Friday.

“I realized I had an embarrassment of riches when I was I in the cutting room,” said director Jon M. Chu, who polled Bieber fanatics on Facebook and Twitter for what they’d want to see in an expanded Bieber flick.

The end result was that fans simply wanted more:  more of Justin’s friends, more performance videos, and footage from the film’s premiers.  The new cut of Never Say Never is now 115 minutes and will be screening in 3D movie theaters throughout the United States and Canada starting this Friday.  The film is being released by Paramount’s Insurge Pictures imprint.

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
