Video - Justin Bieber Tonight Show Interview with Jay Leno

Justin Bieber with Jay Leno on the Tonight Show

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.

Video - Simon Cowell Calls Paula Abdul a Dog – And Other Reasons America Hates Him

It’s no secret that we hate Simon Cowell here at InfoStar.

He is rude, indulgent, vain, sarcastic, and a douche bag.

But Monday night on “The Jay Leno” show on NBC he really came across as a jerk.

Simon started by telling Jay about his morning routine that starts with hitting the snooze bar three times before he wakes up around noon.

Then his housekeepers walk in with his three course breakfast before drawing his bath and injecting a vitamin cocktail into him through an IV.

After breakfast and his bath he watches cartoons…..

We’re not making this up!

Listen to the audience groan as he goes on and on…





After slamming fellow “X Factor” judge Nicole Scherzinger, Simon proceeded to dump on L.A. Reid.

Maybe that’s why we don’t like Simon – he just isn’t funny.

Okay, that’s not the really dickish part.

He then turned on fellow judge Paula Abdul saying their reunion was like picking up a lost dog from the pound.

Watch it - you’ll see what we mean.



You see – THIS is why we hate Simon Cowell and the rest of America is starting to.

We would like to see the new “X Factor” succeed because we like L.A. Reid and Paula - sometimes.

But we hope the backlash against Simon is so bad that viewers learn to dislike him as much as we do.

And don’t even get us started on Piers Morgan…

Selena Gomez says, “I’m Feeling Much Better Now” – Continues Concert Tour

Singer, songwriter, and actress Selena Gomez says she is feeling much better today after her health scare over the weekend.

No, she is not pregnant. No, she did not pass out from food poisoning.

Gomez had cancelled a Friday concert at Santa Monica Place and rescheduled it for today after falling ill Thursday night while taping the Jay Leno Show.

Gomez took to her twitter account saying,

"Thank you all for being so understanding. I can't wait to see you all today at Santa Monica Place for the Monte Carlo kickoff!"

It seems the whole problem was over high blood pressure and exhaustion.

After an overnight stay in the hospital, and a brief return Saturday for test results, she has been given the “all clear” and is moving on with her schedule.

In addition to her ten city concert tour she is also releasing her romantic comedy “Monte Carlo” on July 1st.

The romantic comedy tells the story of three young women vacationing in Paris who find themselves whisked away to Monte Carlo after one of the girls is mistaken for a British heiress.

Selena Gomez Returns to the Hospital Briefly – Now We Know What The Problem Was...

Selena Gomez made another visit to the hospital on Saturday – but not for an emergency.

She returned briefly for more tests and to hear the results of tests performed last Thursday after being rushed to the emergency room after taping the Jay Leno Show.

After her overnight stay Thursday she was released on Friday but returned Saturday only for routine follow-up tests.

Rumors ran wild Thursday night, and her boyfriend Justin Bieber even cancelled his trip to watch the Stanley Cup playoff game so he could monitor her progress.

Some said Gomez fell ill from food poisoning while others speculated she was pregnant with Bieber’s love child.

Not true.

It seems that Selena had a sudden spike in her blood pressure while on the NBC lot Thursday and was suffering from an extreme headache and severe exhaustion.

An NBC employee said,

"She did a backstage interview and hung out with Jim Carrey after the show. The Tonight Show people didn't even know she wasn't feeling well."

Gomez cancelled a Friday concert in Santa Monica but has since rescheduled it for Monday evening. From there she will perform a ten city concert tour.

Her blood pressure is being monitored and so far nobody really seems to know why things got so bad when they did.

So all the rumors can be laid to rest and Gomez seems to be just fine and is being watched closely.

Video - Lauren Alaina Says She Was Passed over Twice for “America’s Got Talent”

Last night was an interesting night on the Jay Leno Show.

American Idol runner-up Lauren Alaina visited with Jay and “America’s Got Talent” judge Piers Morgan and dropped a bombshell.

Pierce was standing on his prideful soapbox plugging AGT, saying how they strive to find the best talent in the country, and no other show has this quality of acts, yada yada yada, when Lauren stopped him in his tracks.

Lauren told Piers that she had auditioned for “America’s Got Talent” on TWO separate occasions and never even made it past the screening and never got to sing for the judges.

Morgan seemed horrified, or at least as horrified as his smugly little brain will allow, and joked that he was going to call the producers as soon as he left Jay’s taping.

It was classic. And it was fun to see a 16-year-old girl put the big fat sellout Piers Morgan in his place.

Kudos Lauren!

In addition to embarrassing Piers, Lauren also talked to Jay about her relationship with American Idol winner Scotty McCreery.

Lauren says they are NOT a couple and are NOT involved in any way other than with preparing for the Idol summer tour starting next month.

Hmmm, we don’t believe it. The two seem like perfect lovebirds and we hope their friendship blossoms.

If the two need some advice on how to do things up right and let the world see their public displays of affection, they can just ask Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez for advice – because this Royal Couple have the PDA system down to a science.

But then again, we think Scotty and Lauren would have a little more taste and act more like adults. We can’t see Scotty sporting tattoos and trying to sing rap.

‘Glee’ Cast Covers Rebecca Black’s ‘Friday’ – Video

Leave it to the cast of “Glee” to break social norms.

This Tuesday night will be no different.

In an episode titled “Prom Queen”, the cast of “Glee” will take on "Dancing Queen" from Abba, "Rolling in the Deep" from Adele, and "Isn't She Lovely" from Stevie Wonder.

But the big news is they will also be doing a revamped version of the now infamous Rebecca Black song “Friday”.

Black released her version of “Friday” last month and the world flat out laughed it into fame - not because it was good, but because it was bad. So very very bad.

It was so bad that Jimmy Fallon and Stephen Colbert used it in a parody duet on Jimmy’s show after Colbert lost a bet.

And the website FunnyorDie did a “Behind the Music” parody that is one of the funniest pieces I’ve ever seen.

But the “Glee Cast” actually nailed the song with their revised up-tempo version. I can actually imagine driving down the road with the windows open singing along with the beat. Okay, not really.

Rene Russo Wasted On the Jay Leno Show – Video

Actress Rene Russo visited with Jay Leno last night, and boy was she wasted.

Russo, who was visiting the show to plug her “Thor” movie, told Jay she had hurt her back and was on “Lots of pain killers and drugs.”

She wasn’t kidding.

Most of the interview Russo swayed back and forth and held her head in her hands. It was clear she was buzzed.

Below is one segment of the interview and then her visit backstage after the show.

Lindsay Lohan Does the Tonight Show with Jay Leno - Video

Lindsay Lohan appeared on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno Tuesday night.

It’s her first appearance on TV since she was sentenced to 120 days in jail for violating her probation.

Jay Leno seemed to be an overall supporter of the troubled actress, at times sounding more like her father than a talk show host and comedian.

They talked about her upcoming role in the new Gotti movie where she will play the wife of Gotti Jr. The movie will also star John Travolta and Joe Pesci.

When talk of her recent troubles came up she said she realizes she has made a lot of poor decisions and knows she has to work to gain back the trust she has lost with the industry.

They also talked about Lindsay’s time in jail – and the most recent sentence of 4 months plus community service at the county morgue and a battered women’s facility.

One little “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon” moment happened when it was revealed that Lohan’s lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, is the wife of the lead singer in Jay’s Tonight Show band.

The audience erupted into applause when Leno asked if she thought her fans still supported her, and she got a standing ovation when she left the stage.

World’s Greatest Movie Extra – Jesse Heiman – Do You Recognize Him? You Should - Video

Ever heard of Jesse Heiman? I bet you don’t know his name but have seen him in a movie.

Heiman, 33, has made a career out appearing in movies and television shows as an extra, and so far has appeared in over fifty productions.

He was born in Boston and moved to Los Angeles in 2000 to follow his dream of being in showbiz. And what a strange road it has been.

Jesse is a card carrying member of SAG (Screen Actors Guild) and continually adds his name to the list of actors interested in being an extra. A lot of producers know him by name and he even has a YouTube video that has gone viral.

Just look at some of the big budget productions this guy has been in:

American Pie, American Pie 2, Van Wilder, Spider Man, Catch Me If You Can, The Rules of Attraction, Old School, The Battle of Shaker Heights, Grounded For Life, The O.C., Reno 911, NCIS, Entourage, My Name is Earl, Bones, Arrested Development, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Heroes, 17 Again, Chuck, The Social Network, The Jay Leno Show, and Transformers - Dark of the Moon.

As an extra, Jesse may only appear on screen for one or two seconds, but has rubbed shoulders with the likes of Zac Efron, Jack Black, Leonardo DeCaprio, Tobey McGuire, and Shia LaBeouf.

He makes about $150 per day, every day that he is on the set, and says some shots have taken a week to shoot. He spends most of his time waiting to be called to perform and eating from the Crafts Food Service table.

The really amazing part of this story, besides a guy making a living from being a movie extra, is that some guy in Sweden made a YouTube video with every one of his momentary screen appearances.

Heiman has told reporters that he had no idea who this person was and had never met him before in his life. Jesse only got to know him after the video went viral and received almost 2 million hits.

This is a great video. Enjoy!

Rebecca Black Does The Jay Leno Show… and, Sings?

The infamous singer of what some have called the worst song ever visited with Jay Leno last night.

13-year-old YouTube sensation Rebecca Black has been widely panned for her song “Friday”, and says she has received tons of hate mail and death threats since her video went viral on the internet last week.

She explained to Leno how the whole thing came about, and how she turned down the first song presented to her.

Although Black sang “Friday”, the backing track was so loud that you could not really tell if Black was singing or lip syncing. But the bottom line is the same:

“Friday", sung by Rebecca Black is the worst song ever.

As for her next move -- Rebecca says she desperately wants to sing a duet with Justin Bieber.

Good luck with that…
