Australian Singer Cody Simpson Signs with Justin Bieber Manager Scooter Braun

As teen sensation Justin Bieber and his crew head for Mexico to jumpstart their South American “My World” tour, news is out that Bieber’s manager Scooter Braun is now running the ship for young 14-year-old Australian singer Cody Simpson.

Braun, whose real name is Scott Samuel Braun, not only discovered Bieber on YouTube but got him signed to Island Records under L.A. Reid.

Braun will now try to duplicate his Bieber success with Cody Simpson.

Cody says,

“I’m a big fan of Justin’s. We support each other a lot. He was talking to me yesterday about the songs he liked off my album. People say we’re in a competition, but it’s really like being friends and part of a family. It’s definitely not something that should be seen as a rivalry.”

Scooter Braun, who was born in New York, got his start by organizing parties while attending Emory University.

His events attracted celebrity performers like Ludacris and Britney Spears, and when he was 19-years-old created his own party-promotion company.

In 2002, Jermaine Dupri hired him as Director of Marketing of So So Def Records, and at age 20 was named Executive Marketing Director.

In addition to Justin Bieber, Braun also manages singer Asher Roth and has business connections to wake board guru and champion Paulie Koch.

Scooter currently owns and operates two music labels - Raymond-Braun Media Group (RBMG) which is co-owned with Usher, and Schoolboy Records.

Even though Simpson was just signed and is already getting asked about collaborations with Bieber.

Simpson has released one album and just completed a short U.S. tour with friend and fellow teen singer Greyson Chance who was also discovered on YouTube and signed by Ellen DeGeneres’ label “eleveneleven”.

It's that time again!

YAAAAY!!  I loooooooove General Conference.  A day to snuggle with the family, eat a yummy breakfast and hear the uplifting and encouraging words of our wonderful leaders.


For those of you who may not know, I'm a Mormon.  My faith has shaped everything I am.  I know where I came from.  I know why I'm here, where I'm going and how to get there.  The teachings of Christ have given me purpose.  I know that there is life after death, that my family can be together forever and that Heavenly Father loves me. 

President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, member of the First Presidency gave the most wonderful talk at the General Relief Society Broadcast.  


If you have 2 minutes, watch this video.


You are Not Forgotten






If anything, read that last paragraph.  It makes me cry every time I watch it.  It's hard being a mom.  It's a thankless job really.  One that demands so much physical and mental energy it's absolutely exhausting.  And then to have no one notice all the hard work you do, no pats on the back, awards, bonuses or raises.  But knowing that you are not forgotten.  That Heavenly Father sees all the sacrifices you are making, that he is proud of you and that he loves you.  It makes this whole motherhood thing totally worth it!


In leu of conference, here are some fun packets I've found floating around online for the kiddos!


From Sugar Doodle

This one, from Sugar Doodle, is a little time consuming for the momma.  But I'm pretty sure it's my favorite!

Video - First Listen – Justin Bieber “Under the Mistletoe” Collaboration with The Band Perry

Bieber "On Set"

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.

Merry Bieber Christmas!

Big Brother 6 Alum James Rhine in Boxer Briefs

After re-watching season 6 of Big Brother, James to me was the hottest guy in the house. So just because I think he's sexy, I decided to make a post about him. Check out this picture of him in a pair of perfectly fitted Hugo Boss boxer briefs! Included in the gallery are pictures of him half naked in the Big Brother house, and also a personal picture of him in green Andrew Christian boxer briefs (yes the one that was part of a scandal last year).

Video - Hundreds of Fans Descend on Justin Bieber’s Christmas Video Shoot

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.

Rafael Nadal Shows off his Assets in New Armani Ad

Well here it is, the second set of photos for Armani Underwear Fall/Winter 2011 campaign featuring tennis stud Rafael Nadal in tight black boxer briefs. Seriously this guy has an amazing ass, and I'm so glad Armani decided to show it off in their underwear ads. Now just waiting for a video and behind the scenes pictures.

2 pictures inside.

What's for dinner?

Chicken Divan.  Ever had it?  I like to think the dish was invented by my own momma, as I've never had it anywhere else.  It was definitely a family favorite growing up.

Ingredients:

• Stuffing mix and butter
• Rice
• 3-4 chicken breasts
• 2 cans Cream of Broccoli Cheese
• 1 thing of Broccoli.  Are they called heads?!
• Monterey Jack Cheese

Start by boiling 3-4 chicken breasts.  Feel free to add some chicken broth in the water to make it taste saltier

Get your broccoli cut up and steaming.  Don't steam it too long because it's still going to cook in the oven.  You don't want mushy broccoli!

Start your rice

Dump your stuffing mix into a bowl and add some melted butter.  Like, 1/4 cup butter

Mix the butter and the stuffing together and set aside

Get out some milk, a can or 2 of Broccoli Cheese soup, a mixing bowl and an oblong baking dish

Open the cans of broccoli cheese soup and pour in your bowl.  Start with one can, see how far it gets you.  You can always add more.  Next, add some milk.  You want the mixture to be a little bit runny.

 

Now spread some of that mixture on the bottom of your baking dish and set the sauce aside

Cut up your chicken and add it to the top of your broccoli cheese soup mixture

Add your steamed broccoli

Pour the rest of your broccoli cheese soup mixture over the top of the broccoli and chicken

I usually sprinkle shredded Monterey Jack cheese on top of the Chicken Divan before I add the stuffing. It's preference though, good with or without it!  My family loves it, I just forgot to add it!

Bake in your oven at 350 until it's warm and bubbly.  Remember, everything is already cooked.  You've just got to brown the stuffing and get the cheese melted! 

Serve on top of rice!

Now that picture doesn't do the dish justice.  Mostly because I'm not a photographer and so the colors look a little weird!  This is soooo yummy though and a great way to get those kiddos to eat their broccoli!

ENJOY!  If you make it I'd love to know how you liked it!
