Video - Justin Bieber Inside His Tour Bus and Life on the Road

Friday, August 26, 2011

The entire World has fallen in love with Justin Bieber.

But have you ever wondered what it’s like living life on the road doing 150 shows?

Can you imagine what it takes to get the people organized, set up the stage; do the show, tear everything down, and move on to the next town?

Well, now you can get an amazing inside look – a behind the scenes “life on the road” experience of just what it takes to be Justin Bieber.

A bonus feature off the new two disk North American Director's Fan Cut DVD gives us an inside view of what it takes to be Justin Bieber.

There is the usual cast of characters – Scooter Braun, Ryan Goode, Ryan Butler, Chaz Somers, Justin’s divorced dad Jeremy, Kenny Hamilton, Jaden Smith, Nolan, and others – but you also get to see the stage and dance crews in action.

There’s behind the scenes segments of everything from a shirtless Justin Bieber relaxing in a hot tub with his manager Scooter Braun on their day off – to playing video games on his tour bus with his friend Ryan Butler.

And oh man – the tour bus!

We get an amazing glimpse inside Justin’s tour bus and what it is really like living on the road and travelling from city to city.

There are the six bunk beds for his team and friends, flat panel televisions, video games, Bieber’s personal queen size bed in his private bedroom, and his suitcase full of school books.

So what does it take to pull off a year on the road with the world’s most popular teen idol?

Try 18 semi-trucks, 8 tour buses, and almost 100 people involved from the equipment load-in, setup, show execution, tear down, and load-out. It is a huge process to get everything in its place at the right time.

And the next day they do it all again – 150 shows alone in the United States during 2009 and 2010.

As the big blue bus comes rolling into the arena parking lot there are already hundreds of dedicated screaming fans waiting to catch a glimpse of their idol.

We also get to see behind the scenes footage at Bieber’s concert venues - the Segway battles, basketball games, horse playing in the arena halls, and show time.

When Justin needs to be somewhere faster than his tour bus can get him there he simply hops on a private jet with his closest confidants and friends and jets to his next destination.



This is some of the best footage ever of what it really takes for a World famous performer to do what seems impossible to most of us.

Now you know why everybody loves this kid.

Justin Bieber Returns Home to Stratford Ontario – Selena Meets the Family - Photos

Thursday, June 2, 2011

After a grueling three years away from home, teen heart throb Justin Bieber finally made it back home.

Bieber, accompanied by his girlfriend Selena Gomez, returned to Stratford Ontario Canada for a little well deserved rest and relaxation.

The Bieb’s took in 9 holes of golf at the Stratford Country Club and then signed autographs and took photos with fans who had gathered outside the pro shop.

It’s unclear if his dad Jeremy is also in town, but it would not surprise us to see him emerge with Justin’s two step siblings.

The local television news channel “I on Stratford” kept close tabs on Bieber and Gomez as they moved around town, but gave the couple, his Aunt and Uncle, and younger cousins plenty of space and always respected their privacy.

Justin and Selena Visit Stratford Ontario

This is the first time Selena has visited Bieber’s home town of Stratford, and it’s unclear how long the love birds will hang around. Selena was seen several times with the entire family.

Just last week the two visited Selena’s hometown in Texas for a big family gathering.

Bieber was also seen with his best friends Ryan Butler and Chaz Somers as they played a little basketball with the boys. Bieber can be seen sporting what appears to be a new tattoo of a star on his left elbow and an earring in both ears.

Justin and Selena were also spotted at the Swiss Chalet restaurant where they dined on lunch before visiting “Scoopers” ice cream shop for dessert.

Wednesday, Selena was spotted with JB’s mother Patti Mallette and his grandparents eating at Madelyn’s Diner while Justin worked out at a Stratford gym. Later in the evening the love birds took a romantic walk along the Stratford Upon Avon River.

One local says,

“They looked completely in love with each other. Justin had his arm around Selena and was showing her the swans in the river. Selena looked really happy and seemed captivated by the swans. She kept pointing at them. After they walked around the river, they sat on one of the bridges for a little while. It’s a really romantic place to go because it is so peaceful and you are surrounded by nature, and at night the entire area is lit up with lamp posts. It’s very romantic.”

It also looks like Justin might be trying to prank the media and paparazzi while visiting home. Bieber was wearing an earring on both ears and had what looked like a new tattoo of a star on his left elbow.

Justin sports another tattoo and two earrings

Last week, Bieber visited Selena’s Texas home town of Grand Prairie and appeared in a photo with a temporary tattoo of the ace of spades card on his arm - making some believe he is looking to see if the media will go into a frenzy like they did when he got his new Hebrew “Jesus” tattoo.

One media expert told us,

“It’s most likely a prank. The internet absolutely exploded last week when he showed his new tattoo in Hawaii, and I think he is trying to see if he can prank the media by getting everybody to run a story that he has a new tattoo and earrings in both ears.”

Update:

It has been confirmed - Justin DOES HAVE a new five pointed star tattoo on his left elbow. His dad Jeremy also has the same star tat on his left elbow. It was confirmed Friday after several people in town said they had seen it and it was real.

No one is sure how long the couple will remain in Stratford, and Bieber’s next public event, the much talked about College Track Benefit concert, is not until June 11th at the Mountain Winery.

He is also working on his third album, and concert dates for his Latin American tour are said to be released soon.

So, Justin was in Selena’s home town last week and met her parents, and this week she’s in Stratford hanging out with the entire Belieber family…. We think this may be starting to get serious.

And we so go for it and wish them the best. Get it while you can!

Justin Bieber to Star in Movie with Mark Wahlberg – It’s Official

Sunday, May 1, 2011

It’s official!

After almost three months of speculation it was announced that Justin Bieber has signed on with Mark Wahlberg for a new movie.

While the plot is still very sketchy, Wahlberg told Deadline.com the film was a street hoops basketball story similar in plot format to the Oscar winning “Fighter.”

Wahlberg says neither him nor Bieber will be singing or dancing in the film, and that this will be a good chance for Justin to bring his dramatic acting skills to the table.

Last year, Bieber was a guest on the popular CSI television franchise and later told reporters that he loved acting, and loved the process, and wanted to do more of it.

The movie idea came to fruition after Wahlberg watched Bieber play, and win MVP, at last year’s All-Star NBA game. (Video Below). Watching the video you certainly get the feel that Bieber knows his way around the basketball court.

But he also knows his way around the hockey rink, soccer field, basketball court, and football field. The kid is multi-talented and will be a perfect fit says Wahlberg.

Bieber is no stranger to the movie screen either. His 2011 3D movie “Never Say Never” has grossed almost $100 million worldwide, and he has also contributed music to friend Jaden Smith’s “Karate Kid” remake.

The movie will be produced by Wahlberg and Stephen Levinson, and Bieber’s manager Scooter Braun will also participate. The script will be written by Ian Edelman.

The film will be standard 2D and not a 3D version like Bieber’s “Never Say Never”, and most likely distributed by Paramount.

“The tone of the project is described as ‘The Color of Money’ meets ‘The Karate Kid’. Justin loved the idea, and he’s been sending me video, he sent me a video of himself, and, yeah, I think he’s really talented.”

Wahlberg also says there may also be a chance for Bieber to bring in a few of his friends like Ryan Butler, Jaden Smith or Chaz Somers for small bit parts or cameos.

But Bieber may find himself working on TWO movie projects this year as the L.A. Times has already reported Bieber is connected to a deal with Ashton Kutcher.

Could this be a new career for the teen singing sensation?

Bieber himself has told reporters that he loves acting and wants to do more of it. And Justin is at an age where most teen idols go into hiding for a year or two while they “grow out” of the awkward lanky years that have derailed so many young stars.

We say – go for it JB.

Any real Justin Bieber fan also knows who the singer’s best friends are.

In addition to longtime pal Ryan Butler, Chaz Somers is frequently a name Bieber uses when talking about his friends from back home in Stratford Ontario Canada.

Somers was featured in Justin’s 3D documentary movie “Never Say Never”, and has been seen with Justin while on tour in the United States and at various movie premiers.

Somers says he has been friends with Justin since they were both young and has played Hockey together for as long as he can remember.
