Though the singer wasn’t on the scene, a Los Angeles photographer was accidentally killed while attempting to get his picture. The murder began when Justin Bieber loaned his Ferrari to rapper Lil Twist, who was later pulled over for speeding. The photographer arrived on the scene hoping to get a very interesting picture of Justin Bieber receiving a speeding ticket. However, police instructed the photographer to return to his car. He was struck and killed by an SUV while doing so.

Bieber’s people released the following statement:

“While I was not present nor directly involved with this tragic accident, my thoughts and prayers are with the family of the victim,” Bieber said in a statement.

“Hopefully this tragedy will finally inspire meaningful legislation and whatever other necessary steps to protect the lives and safety of celebrities, police officers, innocent public bystanders, and the photographers themselves.”

The show doesn’t have a title, so allow me to suggest a few:

• Tangentially Related to Beebs!
• J-BAP (Justin Bieber Affiliated Program)
• Justin Bieber’s Carnivale
• Breaking Bieber (also the name of my erotic fan fiction)
• It’s Always Bieber in Bieberelphia

Hmm. That’s all I can think of. Wow. It’s been kind of a crappy stretch for new celebs, no?

Punk’d has never been the type of show that lets crappiness get in the way of anything, so MTV has announced that Ashton Kutcher and Jason Goldberg, the show’s creators, will be producing a new run of Punk’d episodes. They haven’t announced who will be hosting the show; that announcement will come during MTV‘s New Year’s Eve spectacular, which is one more reason I won’t be tuning in to MTV’s New Year’s Eve spectacular.

Here’s my shortlist of possible hosts for the new iteration of the show:

• Nick Cannon
• Selena Gomez
• 7,000 other shitty celebrities I wouldn’t piss on if they were on fire

Well, when you’re in the public eye for any reason, you have to expect a little bit of hate. While it’s the cost of doing business, there are still a few occasions when the booing catches celebs off guard and just makes them want to jump under all the covers and have a good cry while Mazzy Star plays in the background. Here are a few examples.

LeBron James

This is a very anticlimactic video, but I had to include it because it wouldn’t be a list about people voicing their hatred unless it included Nickelback. Well, I take great pains to avoid generalizations, but THE PORTUGESE HATE NICKELBACK!

So much so that they actually lob rocks at Chad Kroeger, who nonchalantly bids the audience adieu so as not to be, you know, killed by flying rocks.

How the hell did they wind up like this?

There were lots of reasons that it was an awkward interview, not the least of which was that a grown man was on TV being asked if he f*cks kids. But his interview is a step below the truly awkward and awful.

You think we’d make that statement without backing it up? He are some Q&A’s that got the Sandusky thing beat in the awkward department.

8. Joaquin Phoenix

Wow. Little Anakin Skywalker doesn’t want to be interviewed. I don’t know what his deal is, but it would appear that, off-camera, several minutes before the interview, someone went ahead and peed in his Cheerios. Unfortunate stuff. He’s big into editing now, in case you were wondering. And no, he doesn’t hang on to all those stupid collectibles.

IDIOT!

If history is any indicator, this could go either way. Hollywood stars have always been the subject of paternity suits, whether ludicrous or with merit. No one will really know if Bieber is the dad until he submits for DNA testing. And no using hypnosis to change the results, Justin. That’s cheating.

At any rate, here are nine celebrities that feel Justin Bieber‘s pain.

Mel Gibson

Back before he morphed into a sputtering, hate-fueled mess, there were many who were happy to align themselves with Mel Gibson. In 2006, a 29-year-old woman came forward claiming to be his love-child, saying that years earlier (30 years, I would guess) Mel had picked up her hitchhiking mother and then gave her more than just a lift. Gibson has not submitted for DNA testing.

Eddie Murphy

After dating Spice Girl Mel B., Eddie Murphy was skeptical when she told him that she was pregnant with his child. He commented, “I don’t know whose child that is until it comes out and has a blood test.” Murphy then refused to take a paternity test until the courts got involved. The results proved he is the father of their little girl. However, he has made no attempts to be in her life. Mel B. later went on to marry Stephen Belafonte, a celebrity mooch who is wanted in New Jersey for killing a duck with a brick.

Marc Anthony

Marc Anthony was accused of fathering a child with a Miami waitress while still married to his first wife. However, test results proved that he is not the dad. Despite this fact, he should probably not go back to that restaurant. Lord only knows what will end up in his food.

From earlier: In an interview with Vulture, Mark Wahlberg said a lot of things that really can’t be unsaid. He thinks Britney Spears is “talented” and should be in David O. Russell‘s movies, Justin Bieber is “really talented,” and he sings for his wife and kids when no one else is around.

Ok, that last one isn’t that awful, but it’s a pretty funny mental image, especially considering the last time I can remember him singing was in a recording booth with Chest Rockwell in Boogie Nights. Do you think his wife and kids fall asleep to “Feel My Heat?”

Whatever. It doesn’t matter. The bigger story here is the Bieber thing, which Wahlberg isn’t at liberty to discuss, beyond saying:

It’s interesting, right? You want to know. They’ll probably announce it. They may announce it fairly soon … kind of like a reluctant mentor in an inner-city environment. You know, I don’t want to say.

If  you’re like me, you’re probably wondering what inner-city creates a product with such wonderful hair as Justin Bieber. If I had to guess, I would venture inner-city Brussels, but it’s really too early to tell.

Bieber may spread his deadly fever into the world of scripted comedy, as he’s in talks to star in What Would Kenny Do? with Kutcher, a movie about a 17-year-old boy who’s visited by the hologram of his adult self to help guide him throug high school. I’m sure the Razzie nominating committee is planning a lavish celebration at their offices if the deal goes through, and I hear critics are already scribbling lines for their reviews in their notebooks for when the film actually comes out. Lines like, “I didn’t need my future self to tell me this would be the worst thing ever.”

Bieber’s intense tour schedule will probably stop this madness from happening, but I guess I should never say never.

The Sony film will be produced by Will Smith’s Overbrook Entertainment, who is currently seeking a new writer and director. Apparently they’re unhappy with the original Black List script by Chris Baldi and the rewrite by Scott Neustadter and Michael Weber (500 Days of Summer). (LA Times)

Director Jon M. Chu couldn’t bare to cut a single precious frame from his 3D Bieberpiece. “I realized I had an embarrassment of riches when I was I in the cutting room,” said Chu. So he asked the Biebermaniacs on Twitter and Facebook what they want to see more of. The result is an additional 40 minutes tacked onto the 1 hour 45 minute runtime, featuring new song performances and footage of Bieber hangin’ with his crew, the Black Mafia Family, back home in Detroit – “where my boyz at?”

Tickets go on sale for the limited engagement Tuesday, February 22nd at 8pm EST/5pm PST, in theaters across the US and Canada. I’m guessing a sizable chunk of total tickets sold will come from Screen Junkie readers, his core demographic. (ComingSoon)

Outside the top 2, we have this week’s “Can that possibly be a real title?” with Gnomeo and Juliet, which grossed $25.5 million for a number 3 spot. After that is something called The Eagle, which I gotta admit I’d never heard of. Apparently I wasn’t alone, since it only grossed $8.6 million. (via boxofficemojo.com)

I don’t think I was sent to the premiere screening of Justin Bieber: Never Say Never with the expectation that I would generate a positive review. I will satisfy those not expectations, but not for the reason you’d think. Yeah, the music sucks but I went in with the best intentions. I wanted to succumb to Bieber Fever and the movie never got me there.

It’s not really a concert film, which is good if you hate the music, but must be disappointing to the fans. Concert footage is intercut with the documentary footage, but the concert is really minimal. Bieber has 10 days to prepare for Madison Square Garden, so the film traces his origins to his success.

They had me going for a little while. I realized that Bieber Fever works in baby steps. They show you a little bit to make you think, “Oh yeah, that is some talent.” By the time you’re obsessed, you didn’t even notice it happening. You’d have to be pretty cold not to think the little fans are adorable. The under 8 ones at least, not the older teenagers.

They show how Bieber started with grass roots, going on the road and playing for local radio stations. He dominated local talent shows. He kept creating YouTube videos because they kept becoming more popular. That is a good message. Just keep creating. Don’t wait for something to happen for you, keep doing it. He was a good singer and drummer, he was good at sports too which is an unfair double threat. He could even solve a Rubik’s Cube.

I can respect that even if Bieber ended up singing generic pop songs of the Justin Timberlake variety. I mean, “One Less Warrior?” Come on. And “One Time” couldn’t sound less distinct. To be fair, I didn’t really hear the music. One, the acoustics at MSG suck, let alone reproduced on film and screened in the Nokia Theater. Also, all the little girls were screeching for everyone on screen, from Bieber’s vocal coach to the roadies.

Where Never Say Never really lost me was when they “stop” the film to yell at people in the audience texting. I know to this audience, that’s the first time anyone’s ever broken the fourth wall ever. That’s just when the film tried to get too cute. They had a legitimate documentary and then they indulged in slow motion 3D hair flipping.

By the way, you can take the 3D glasses off for any of the documentary or interview footage. It’s only really 3D in the concert, so you can see Bieber reach out into the audience.

With three days to go, Bieber gets sick so that’s either supposed to create tension for the big concert, or show how hard a singer’s life can be physically. The latter is legitimate but because we already know the concert happens, it feels hollow. Also, guest star Jaden Smith is identified as a karate expert. Make up your mind, was it karate or kung fu! And Bieber gives a few bucks to a little violin girl on the street. Hey rich kid, how about a fifty?

This Friday marks the release of Justin Bieber’s new film, Never Say Never. Unless you still have a hymen, chances are you don’t give a damn. I completely understand. After all, the film looks like nothing more than a two-hour advertisement for Bieber‘s shitty pop music. But while Bieber himself certainly congers up a lot of hate among non-fans, he’s hardly to blame. Hollywood was teaming up with the music industry to produce this kind of dreck when he was still just a gleam in his grandfather’s eye. Unfortunately, we can’t yet go back in time and kill his grandfather (never say never), but we can take a look at 10 films that paved the way for Bieber’s upcoming cinematic atrocity. And considering the early reviews are actually positive, many, if not all of these films might actually be worse.

From Justin to Kelly – 2003

Remember Kelly Clarkson? She’s the formerly thin former American Idol. Remember Justin Guarini? Yeah, I don’t either. But Wikipedia does, and it turns out he was the runner-up to Clarkson. In order to capitalize on the duo’s new-found and obviously short-term notoriety, Fox rushed out a musical. Needless to say, it crashed and burned at theaters, with one critic comparing it to “Grease: The Next Generation acted out by the food-court staff at SeaWorld.” (Wikipedia told me that, too). It is widely considered one of the worst musicals of all time. Watch the trailer above and see why.

Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience – 2009

When comparing the Jona Brothers to Justin Bieber, it’s easy to come to the conclusion that they are the same: young teenagers singing shitty pop music. Six of one, a half-dozen of the other, right? Not exactly. With Bieber, at least there’s only one person to hate. With the Jonas Brothers, there are three. That’s three times the awfulness. While I can’t be 100% since I will never watch either film, I’m going out on a limb to say Bieber’s film is better. Do the math.

Give My Regards to Broad St. – 1984

It easy to pick on a bunch of 16-year-old kids who have barely made it through puberty, but at least they have an excuse for making this garbage. They’re young, and young people are stupid. Besides, as bad as the movies might be, they’re still making millions of dollars. What teenager wouldn’t jump at the chance to make that kind of money while starring in a film?

That brings us to Paul McCartney. What excuse does he have for making Give My Regards to Broad St.? He was a grown-ass man at this point in his life, and he had already made hundreds of millions of dollars. Ringo I’d understand, but Sir Paul? Welcome to Oobu Joobu, bitch.

On the Line – 2001

Lance Bass, a member of the boy band ‘N Sync, starred in this turd. And while it is a horrible, horrible movie, it has gotten better with age. Why? Because the fact that Bass is now openly gay gives the film loads of unintentional comedy. “Gee, he just can’t seem to land a girl.” That’s cause he has sex with dudes, stupid! Leave him alone!

Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band – 1978

This musical tribute to the Beatles‘ album of the same name stars the Bee Gees. Remember the Bee Gees? If you answered yes, I’m impressed that you know how to use the Internet. Are you still using AOL dial up?

At any rate, there’s not much to say about this movie other than it had an all-star cast, especially considering it’s about as enjoyable as watching a non-salvia related Miley Cyrus video. Speaking of which…

The Hannah Montana Movie – 2009

I was torn between including this, and the Hannah Montana concert film. Ultimately, I went with this. While sitting through the concert’s music would be awful, at least you don’t have to see Billy Ray Cyrus trying to act. Unless you’re Roman Polanski, there’s absolutely nothing redeeming about this film.

Cool as Ice – 1992

This film might be the worst music-promoting crossover film in history, especially considering the star, Vanilla Ice, was already on his 13th minute of fame when it was released. But to be honest, I’m glad it was made, if for no other reason than saying “dump that zero and get with the hero” still brings a smile to my face.

Four for Texas – 1963

While this film isn’t a musical, something tells me Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin weren’t chosen for their acting abilities. If you want to blame someone for starting the shitty-musician crossover trend in Hollywood, it should probably be “old blue eyes,” or as I choose to remember him, “Johnny Fontane” from The Godfather. No, he didn’t play Fontane, but the character was supposedly based of him. Now you have another reason to hate the mob.

Clam Bake – 1967

There are dozens of shitty Elvis movies I could have put on this list, but I chose Clam Bake. I’m not sure why. Honestly, any one of them would have worked. And while Bieber’s movie is going to blow goats, I have a hard time believing it will be any worse than this crap.

Please Hammer Don’t Hurt ‘Em: The Movie – 1990

When I woke up this morning, I didn’t even know this film existed. Now I do, and I’m not happy about it. According to IMDB, “MC Hammer returns to his hometown and, with the help of some funky tunes, defeats a druglord who is using kids to traffic his stuff.” Who knew that you could use funky tunes to take down a drug lord. Someone get the Mexican Army on the phone! This info will help them turn the tide.

There’s one thing I do like about this team-up is that Justin Bieber and The Situation represent two opposite spectrums of the Awful-O-Meter. Bieber is formulaic, uninteresting and yet shoved down our collective throats, whereas The Situation is skeezy, retarded and yet shoved down our collective throats. I get a feeling these two will be a ticket in the 2060 election. (Popeater)

Rumors were circulating that Glee‘ was planning a Justin Bieber-themed episode along the same lines as their Madonna and Britney Spears tributes. Thankfully, showrunner Ryan Murphy has shot holes in that claim.

“Those [tributes] are reserved for artists with big catalogs,” Murphy explains. “Bieber comes up in episode 13 as a small plot point.”

And I then added, “Have you seen that kid try to act? F*ck that sh*t.”

You can plan on avoiding that episode and plot point on February 15th. (Entertainment Weekly)

I’m not even close to getting through all the films 2010 had to offer, but that won’t stop 2011 from vomiting dozens of new options into the toilet that is my life. With so many films to choose from, I’m going to have to make some difficult decisions over the next 12 months. That’s why I’m planning ahead. While I’m sure this list will be altered as the year progresses and new information comes to light, I’ve made a preliminary rundown of 11 films I refuse to miss in 2011, all others be damned. Sure, a lot of great movies probably didn’t make the cut, but this is the real world. Not everything works out the way you want. Deal with it.

The Hangover 2

Before The Hangover, I wasn’t a huge fan of Todd Phillips. It’s not that his films weren’t funny, I just didn’t see what all the fuss was about. But I finally saw the light, and I’m hoping to see it again with The Hangover 2.

The Good: Setting the film in Bangkok opens the door for all sorts of demented behavior, since the city makes Vegas look like Branson, MO.

The Bad: Unfortunately, expectations are extremely high going in, which never helps. Unless Philips pulls off The Godfather II of comedy, many people will be let down.

The Ugly: From Mel Gibson to Bill Clinton, this film has been subject to a ton of cameo rumors, which really defeats the purpose of a surprise cameo. Hopefully the film still has some tricks up its sleeve without coming across as too gimmicky.

Sucker Punch

Sucker punch, the latest outing from director Zack Snyder, tells the story of a young girl in the 1950s who is about to be lobotomized. The girl retreats to a fantasy world as she and her friends attempt to make their escape from the asylum.

The Good: Hot girls and violence; This film has lots of both.

The Bad: Way too much slow motion. We get it! It looks cool. Speed it up! I’ve got to piss!

The Ugly: If there’s nothing more than implied lesbianism, things are going to get really ugly in my theater.

Hobo with a Shotgun

Hobo with a Shotgun has been a long time coming. Based on the winner of a Grindhouse-style trailer contest at South by Southwest, the film stars Rutger Hauer as the titular shotgun wielding hobo.

The Good: The fact that this film is even being made restores some of my faith in humanity.

The Bad: Thus far, trailers I’ve seen haven’t been that impressive, which makes me think it will have a hard time living up to the nearly perfect source material. That being said, even if it sucks, I’ll probably see it at least twice.

The Ugly: Decapitations caused by chains tied to moving vehicles tend to get ugly.

Horrible Bosses

This film chronicles the adventures of three friends who decided to kill their…wait for it…horrible bosses. If all goes well, we might be dealing with a modern-day Office Space. Hey, it already has Jennifer Aniston.

The Good: The film has a funny premise and an all-star cast (Kevin Spacey, Jamie Foxx, Jason Batemen). But despite the big names, I’m most excited about seeing Charlie Day from “Always Sunny” on the big screen…in a film besides Going the Distance.

The Bad: Jamie Foxx’s character is named “Motherfuker Jones.” That’s not bad, so much as it is badass!

The Ugly: If the film is successful, I suspect we’ll see a rash of boss killings, beginning right here at Screenjunkies.com.

Super 8

Written and directed by J. J. Abrams, and produced by Steven Spielberg, Super 8 tells the story of an alien that escapes from a train while being transported by the government. At least that’s what most people are speculating. The filmmakers have been very tight-lipped.

The Good: Abrams, Spielberg, aliens: need we say more?

The Bad: Abrams, Spielberg, aliens: again with the extraterrestrials?

The Ugly: If this alien enjoys Reese’s Pieces, I’m walking out.

The Beaver

Directed by Jodi Foster and starring Mel Gibson, The Beaver is about a business man who loses his mind and begins using a beaver puppet to communicate with the people around him.

The Good: If the film does well, it will be a hell of a comeback story for old Mel. Plus, everybody loves beaver. Am I right?

The Bad: Gibson’s personal problems could derail the film and take away from his actual performance. In case you hadn’t heard, Mel’s been having some P.R. problems as of late.

The Ugly: If you pay to see it, you’re giving money to a racist, anti-Semite who (allegedly) beats his girlfriend. I’m sure it wouldn’t be the first time, but still.

The Muppet Movie

The Muppets are back, and they’re in a movie. Need I say more? Awesome!

The Good: Jason Segel is in charge of the script. His stuff can be a little melodramatic for my tastes, but it should be a good fit for a Muppet movie.

The Bad: You’ll have to watch a lot of hipsters enjoying the Muppets “ironically.”

The Ugly: Lady Gaga will probably have a cameo. F*ck that!

Rampart

Based on the L.A.P.D. Rampart scandal of the early 1990’s, Rampart tells the fictional story of a police officer, played by Woody Harrelson, who is caught in the crossfire. If it sounds a lot like an updated version of L.A. Confidential, it basically is. James Ellroy even worked on the script.

The Good: A great cast featuring Woody Harrelson, Steve Buscemi and Sigourney Weaver.

The Bad: You probably don’t want to see this movie at the ghetto theater, even if it is half-priced.

The Ugly: What’s uglier than racial tensions and police corruption? Make your own Steve Buscemi joke. Sorry. I’m uglier than he is, so it’s OK.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Based on the Swedish book of the same name and directed by David Fincher, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a tale of murder, intrigue, and sexual assault.

The Good: David Fincher and serial killings, together at last.

The Bad: Sexual assaults are a real drag. If you don’t agree with that statement, seek help immediately.

The Ugly: I’m going with sexual assault for this one too. I can’t stress that enough. Sexual assaults are bad. And that’s not just my court-mandated meds talking.

Hugo Cabret

Based on the book by Brian Selznick Hugo Cabret is about an Orphan who lives in the walls of a Paris train station. It’s not nearly as depressing as it sounds.

The Good: Martin Scorsese is set to direct a cast that includes Jude Law, Ray Winstone and Christopher Lee.

The Bad: The French are involved.

The Ugly: Have you ever smelled a Parisian train station? If so, the 3D images are sure to conjure up some disgusting nasal memories.

Justin Bieber: Never Say Never

No, not the James Bond movie. I’m talking about the 3D film depicting the “true story” of Justin Bieber. Why is it on this list? Because these days, the only time I feel alive is when I’m engulfed in hatred. Besides, it’s a chance to ruin the film for those who actually want to see it. I recommend sneaking in a bag of your own feces and tossing it into the air half-way through the first song.

The Good: Nothing.

The Bad: Everything.

The Ugly: If you go to this movie, you will look like a pedophile. I recommend bringing a kid with you, unless you are an actual pedophile, in which case you should wait for the DVD.

– roses are red, violets are blue, @selenagomez if you’l break @justinbieber’s heart I’m gonna kill you :3
– @selenagomez I’ll kill you I swear on GOD!!!!
– @selenagomez If you are the Girlfriend of Justin I will Kill you I HATE YOU :@ !!!
– @selenagomez whore cancer whore..like i’mm kill myself cuz i saw you and Justin kissing well thankyou Selena thankyou now i’m killing myself
– @selenagomez stay away from Justin pedophile, retard wait i’m gonna kill ya in the night underneath your smelly bed

I personally think they took it too far when they called her out on her smelly bed. At least they didn’t reference a traditional Mexican dish when describing the stench.

Just when you thought the Good Guy Doll couldn’t be anymore terrifying.

What this trailer sets out to do is really sell you the 3D element of the film. In other words, make you want to pay a higher ticket price. There’s SILLY STRING and IT COMES RIGHT AT YOU!!! $25, please. I see what these marketing folks are up to. For me though, if they really wanted to sell it, they’d show a 3D water bottle flying at his head during that last shot on stage. Missed opportunity right there.

^{Ritual pre-concert round of Peek-a-boo.}

And now for the part of the job I hate the most — having a hand in promoting Justin Bieber. But that’s the job, and I knew that full well when I agreed to $4.25 an hour. Anyhow, the little sh*t and new "Punk’d" host is back with Never Say Never, a "biopic" about the time Justin filmed a concert in New York last month. This is mixed with behind the scenes footage, home movies, and interviews with his manager, who says only nice things for fear of being punched in the balls again.

You really did it Justin, even though "they" said you couldn’t. Help yourself to a hard-earned juicebox.

_{He’s coming for you, Bruno Mars.}

NoooooooOOOOOOOOOO!!! MTV is bringing back the series "Punk’d" and they want Justin Bieber to host it. If it were April 1st I’d be more accepting of this news, but it’s not, it’s October 5th. We are NOT being punk’d.

The show’s creators/executive producers/original hosts Ashton Kutcher and Jason Goldberg are back to exec produce, so don’t go thinking the quality of the content will slip. They’re all over that. Sports cars will continue to be towed and lunch orders "accidently" botched. The only difference is Justin Bieber will now emerge from around the corner to reveal the ruse with a sh*t-eating grin on his face. Let’s hope 50 Cent is packing and doesn’t appreciate pranks. (Deadline)

A trailer for the new season of "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" runs through all the weird sh*t that has happened in seasons past. Not sure if this to inspire viewers to watch, or to make them realize, "Why the hell did I watch this crap?" But before that thought can sink in, they hit us with the image of a jailed Justin Bieber. I have a feeling he’s only in there because he wants to be. He’s like The Joker.

Check it out after jump…

CSI- – Just Getting Started! – Watch more Funny Videos

The Justin Bieber biopic has found its director, and a more fitting choice could not have been made. His name: Jon Chu.

"Who’s Jon Chu," you ask? Oh, I don’t know. He’s only the director behind a little film called Step Up 3D, 2010′s hottest dance based 3D movie! That’s who Jon Chu is, b*tch! Who the hell are you?

Cinema Blend is reporting that over 20 directors applied for the job, but Chu ultimately won out because of his previous experience with 3D films. That, and he was the only one of the bunch who wasn’t a convicted sex offender.

Rest easy, Justin. Jon Chu won’t try to touch you in your bikini area.

^{Is he wearing lipstick?}

Yesterday it seemed a little odd when it was announced that Oscar-winning director Davis Guggenheim would direct the upcoming 3D Justin Bieber biopic. And I guess it seemed odd to Guggenheim too, because he has just taken himself off the project according to Deadline. Guggenheim cites "scheduling conflicts" as the reason for his departure, but we all know that’s just Hollywood speak for "This diminutive singing child punches people in the balls. I’m not willing to put my balls at risk to work with him."

So as of right now, the very important film is left without a director. I think what Justin needs most is someone who can really identify with him. Someone who knows his music inside and out. Someone with Doritos breath. If only such a person existed.

Shortly after it was announced that diminutive singing child Justin Bieber would pen the very important memoir Justin Bieber: First Step 2 Forever: My Story, we now have more details on that 8 Mile thing he’s doing for money.

Paramount Pictures has made a deal to turn Justin Bieber‘s life story into a 3D feature biopic. Davis Guggenheim, the Oscar-winning director of An Inconvenient Truth, is negotiating to direct.

The biopic is set for a Valentine’s Day release and will also include footage from Bieber‘s upcoming concert at Madison Square Garden. It’s uncertain how much of the film will cover Bieber getting hopped up on Sour Patch Kids and punching his manager in the balls. Probably like two-thirds. (Deadline)

^{Bieber practices for his wedding night.}

Diminutive singing child Justin Bieber has announced his plans to break into Hollywood. Not only will the sheepdog-banged heartthrob be seen in Gary Marshall‘s Valentine’s Day follow-up New Year’s Eve, but will also star in a biopic about his own life.

Please shout the specifics at us, HollywoodLife:

The Biebster is about to become a movie star!

HollywoodLife.com can exclusively confirm that a script similar to the 2002 film 8 Mile is  in development – and close to completion! “There currently isn’t a final script, but just like Eminem did in 8 Mile, Justin will star!” an industry insider tells us.

Ow! My ears. No one other than "the Biebster" has been attached just yet, but I’m excited to see Usher wear those Mekhi Phiffer 8 Mile dreadlocks when Pubeless: The Justin Bieber Story comes to theaters Christmas Day 2011.

Breaking news! Tim Burton is making a creepy animated movie! In other news, Tyler Perry is making a movie about black family life, and George Romero is making a movie about zombies.

According to Coming Soon, Burton is working on an animated version of The Addams Family based on the Charles Addams’ New Yorker illustrations. The film will reportedly use computer animation rather than the stop-motion techniques utilized for previous Burton films, and may be presented in black and white. If that isn’t vague enough for you, the film "might" star Justin Bieber and "could possibly" feature the reanimated corpse of Dennis Hopper.
