Justin Bieber is making the TV rounds doing promotion for his new Christmas Album “Under the Mistletoe”, and last night he visited with Jay Leno on the Tonight Show.
Bieber talked with Jay about his charity work tied to his new album, and how he helped the Stratford food bank that he and his mother used to visit when Justin was younger.
And you know Jay Leno has a soft spot for cars so they had to talk about Justin’s new Cadillac Batmobile and the problems Bieber had with getting his drivers license.
JB also admitted he has already got one speeding ticket for speeding through a construction zone.
Leno also asked Justin about renting out the Staples Center for a romantic dinner and movie night with his girlfriend Selena Gomez.
Funny stuff, and who would have thought that Leno had never tried sushi?
Bieber’s “Under the Mistletoe” is now available and will probably set a world record for holiday units sold.
His next album “Believe” is expected to be released during the first quarter of 2012.
Justin Bieber sure has been busy the last few months.
He just completed his South American tour, and now he is preparing to unveil his new Christmas Album “Under the Mistletoe.”
But last week Bieber sat down with Billy Bush and Access Hollywood to talk about his new album, life as a teen idol, and the downside to fame.
He also gave more details on Baylor - the new dog Selena adopted at an animal shelter, and the most romantic thing he has ever done for a girl.
The second part of the interview included Justin’s best friend from Stratford Ontario – Ryan Butler.
Ryan and Justin have been best friends since they were 5-years-old, and Ryan talks about what it’s like to have Bieber as a wing man and being part of the “Inner Circle.”
“Under the Mistletoe” is available November 1st and includes collaborations with Chris Brown, Usher, Boyz II Men and Busta Rhymes.
We think millions of happy fans are going to find a little something extra in their stockings this Christmas.

Bieber is currently on tour in South America and getting death threats for going to Peru but will be back in the United States to kick of the release on November 1st.
We suspect a lot of fans will be receiving a CD in their Christmas stockings this year and expect sales to be strong.
“Gold” by January seems to be the initial speculation.
Justin Bieber and his crew were in Franklin Tennessee earlier this week working on his Christmas Video and we got to hear the first sounds of one of the new songs!
Well, we actually got to hear a somewhat garbled version of the backing track used during the video shoot for “Under the Mistletoe” featuring The Band Perry.
Somebody on the crew was recording the shoot while the backing track was being played – maybe not realizing the implications of his actions if it got leaked to YouTube.
Bieber’s Christmas Album titled “Under the Mistletoe” is already being presold on Amazon and will be released on November 1st.
Bieber's friend and mentor Ryan Good showed off his personal interpretive Christmas dance skills while hundreds of fans cheered him on, and at one point the crowd grew so large that production had to be temporarily stopped while Bieber addressed the crowd during a break.
Bieber then led the crowd of fans in a medley of Christmas songs and danced with Santa before resuming production of the music video.
Now that filming is done Bieber and his team are headed to Mexico to kick of the South American segment of his popular My World Tour.
JB will hit up Mexico, Peru, Chile, Brazil, Argentina and Columbia before returning to the United States to officially kick off his Christmas Album release.
Before hitting the road, Justin did have time this week to spend with his family and took the time to snap a few Bieber family photos of his younger brother and sister for his supporters.
Just one day before hitting the road to resume his “My World Tour” in South America, Justin Bieber got quite a surprise.
It seems that Bieber and his team were at an undisclosed location shooting video for his upcoming Christmas Album and Video when fans discovered what was going on.
Within minutes, fans started to crowd around the area where the production was taking place and started cheering and screaming.
Production had to be halted for a short time so Bieber could address the crowd and try to bring order to the set.
So what did he do to calm everybody down?
He started singing Christmas songs and encouraged the crowd to sing along with him!
Justin took to his twitter account saying,
“Pretty wild yesterday. we didn't even say our location and thousands of people showed up. my fans go hard! #goodtimes”
Here is a video of how it went down...
After belting out a few Christmas songs the crowd was asked to stay quiet and move back from the immediate area and filming continued.
At one point Justin was seen dancing the “Dougie” with the actor playing Santa Clause.
Tomorrow Bieber and his team head to Mexico for the start of his South American Concert tour.
Bieber’s Christmas Album will be released November 1st and Amazon is already taking preorders.
We suspect brisk sales and millions of happy teenage girls Christmas morning as they discover something besides mistletoe under the tree with their name on it!
Also this week Justin had the chance to visit with his dad Jeremy Bieber and his younger brother and sister Jaxon and Jazzy.
Beliebers will have one more thing to look forward to this Christmas besides a little time off from school – a new Christmas album from Justin Bieber.
Justin has spent the last several months working away in the studio not only with pre-work on his upcoming album “Believe”, but also completing a Christmas album, or Holiday album, or Kwanzaa album, or Festivus album, or whatever merry season time event you celebrate.
Ok! Magazine caught up with the World famous pop singer and asked him what it is like to be working on two albums at the same time and the relief of having one completed.
"It's crazy. I started a little bit on my actual album, but I've been really focusing on my Christmas album. We just got it finished so I'm like really excited about the final outcome. It was really incredible. I’m really just glad to be done with that and start with my album."
While Bieber sang “Some Day at Christmas” for President Obama a few years back, most of his fans may be scratching their heads wondering what a Justin Bieber Holiday album will sound like.
Maybe a hip hop version of Jingle Bells with Chris Brown? Perhaps a techno drum machine pop version of “Hark the Herald Angels” with Lady Gaga?
Relax. Bieber says he thinks there will be something for all his fans saying,
“There are a couple original songs, a couple classics, a few collaborations, but mostly originals.”
Hmm, we’re still a bit nervous.
But our insider says there will be collaborations with Boyz II Men, Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, and yes - Chris Brown.
And if there was ever any doubt if Bieber has the chops for a tender Christmas album just watch this video of the young star at 13-years-old, before he became famous, singing “Some Day at Christmas” back home in Stratford Ontario.
But the clock is ticking and insiders say the X-mas album will most likely be released in November around Thanksgiving, and “Believe” will be released first quarter of 2012.
That doesn’t leave a lot of time seeing as Bieber is due to kick of his South American tour in Mexico on September 30th and will be on the road through late October.
And from what we hear almost every show is already sold out and his fans will not take "No" for an answer.
In fact, there are reports of fans freaking out and resorting to tears and temper tantrums when news leaked that several high profile venues sold out in less than 30 minutes while they were still standing in line!
So Justin will return to the United States the first of November to start promotion and appearances for the Christmas Album, and spend December through February putting the finishing touches on “Believe”, and then announce his 2012 North American tour dates.
Justin Bieber and Scooter Braun hit up Dolce & Gabbana’s Fashion Night last week and gave one of the best interviews we’ve heard in a while.
Justin talked about Scooter’s beard, and how and when he decided to cut it off – and his failed attempt to auction the hair for charity.
Bieber talked about Braun’s “aging” fashion attire and said Scooter “had his day” when he was fly and had the swag down – and that JB has kind of given up on trying to give Scooter fashion advice.
The most important part of the interview was when they talked about the charity organized by Scooters brother called “Pencils of Promise” and the number of schools that have been built so far.
Justin and his team have supported Adam Braun and his charity since its inception and now have over 50 schools either already built, or being built in third world countries.
Bieber’s new Christmas album is due out this November and will contain mostly original songs written by Justin, and at least one original track written by Justin and Taylor Swift. Proceeds from the Christmas album will go to “Pencils of Promise”.
Taylor Swift and Justin have become friends this summer, and the singer even pulled the ultimate prank on her a couple of weeks back as part of the new MTV “Punk’d” TV series that is being revived.
Justin also recanted stories about being on tour and the crazy things that had happened to him and his crew while on the road.
They talked about his just announced South American tour scheduled to kick-off later this year, and the crying and hysterical fans after they learned that all the tickets were already sold out.
