Justin Bieber Plans Star-Studded Album With Drake, Kanye and Chris Brown

A new tidbit about Justin Bieber's next studio installment is brought forward by none other than his own manager Scooter Braun. In an interview with MTV, the talent scouter revealed Drake and Kanye West are among his A-list featured guests.

"Yes, Justin is working on new music," the manager confirmed. "He's been talking to Drake about new music. [Bieber] and Kanye had a call today about a song they're trying to work on together. Kanye wants to produce a bunch of new songs for the new album."

Braun also named Chris Brown, stating that "Him and Chris Brown have been sending stuff back and forth to each other." Beside making music with the R&B and rap artists, Bieber is also working a country/pop crossover with Grammy-winning group Rascal Flatts.

The manager then played a clip of a new Bieber song to the publication, saying that it may come out on Valentine's Day, three days after his movie "Justin Bieber: Never Say Never" arrives in the U.S. theaters. It's not known whether the song is a solo or a duet though.

During the interview, MTV also took the advantage to ask Braun about the nature of Bieber and Selena Gomez's relationship. Brushing off the romance rumor, he said, "I know that him and the person you're asking about are really close friends and have been for awhile. As far as I know, that's what they are."

Braun stated further, "Everybody wants to know something. Here's what I'm going to tell you. This kid travels a lot and I always told him, I was always like, 'You shouldn't be in a relationship unless you can give someone everything'."

Back on his new music project, those working behind the production table with Bieber have also been revealed. In an interview with Rap-Up TV, Kevin Cossom spilled the beans that he, Danja and Bangladesh have been booked to help the Canadian singer make more mature sound with "edgy vibe."

Justin Bieber Wants 'Glee' Cameo for Himself and Cheryl Cole

Justin Bieber is campaigning to land British singer Cheryl Cole a cameo spot as a sexy teacher on hit U.S. TV show "Glee". The "Baby" hitmaker is reportedly in talks to film his own guest role on the all-singing-all-dancing program, but he insists he'll only agree if producers sign up theGirls Aloud beauty to star alongside him. 

He tells Britain's The Sun, "I am going to tell the producers that it must be in the agreement that Cheryl
gets a part in the show as well. Cheryl and the show make total sense. It's all about people who look good and can sing and dance - that's totally Cheryl." 

"I have told her every time I have seen her that as soon as she lands in the U.S. for 'The X Factor' I am going to work with her. Glee is a great way to introduce her to the States - everybody is watching it. She looks beautiful, but I am not sure she could quite get away with playing a student. It would be great if she played a substitute teacher taking a sabbatical from England or something. Can you imagine how hot Cheryl would look dressed as a school teacher?" 

Bieber made his affections for the British star clear when he performed on Simon Cowell's "The X Factor" - on which Cole is a judge - last year. 

Justin Bieber Aiming for Michael Jackson's Success

Justin Bieber's goal in life is to reach the same level of fame as his idol Michael Jackson. The teenage pop star cites the "Thriller" hitmaker as his greatest influence, and admits he strives to emulate Jackson's success as an entertainer. 

And Bieber hopes his music will eventually reach a wider audience so he can be appreciated by fans of all ages. He tells Vanity Fair magazine, "Music is music, and I'm definitely influenced by Michael Jackson." 
"Michael was able to reach audiences from young to old; he never limited himself. He was so broad, everybody loved him, and that's what my goal is - to basically make people happy, to inspire them, and to have everyone root for me." 

And Bieber hopes more men will start listening to his music, adding, "For younger guys, it's like (they think) they're not cool if they come to my concert. That'll (change), I think; it'll happen, maybe when I'm 18. But meanwhile all their girlfriends are coming to watch me." 

Chris Brown's New Songs 'Where Do We Go' and 'Look at Me'

Justin Bieber had a good time during his stay in Africa, and he shared it with his fans. The Canadian singer played cowbell and other instruments with an African band when he was at the restaurant Mama Africa in Cape Town, South Africa.

Justin Bieber has been traveling around the world over the course of 2010, and he will be back on the road for another European leg of his tour later this year. He will tag along fellow young singer Willow Smith for the extended traveling show.

One fan wrote," If you are the Girlfriend of Justin I will Kill you I HATE YOU :@ !!!" and another threatened, "stay away from Justin pedophile, retard wait i'm gonna kill ya in the night underneath your smelly bed."

So serious is this taken that Reuters noted that "Americans were quick to note that any sexual relationship between Bieber at 16, and 'older woman' Gomez would amount to statutory rape under U.S. law as Bieber is well below the age of consent."


Bieber and Gomez have not uttered a word about this as of press time. The "Baby" hitmaker chose to praise his fans instead, tweeting they "r the greatest" and "I never have to worry about the BS because they support me 4 me" when asked "whats one thing u like about your beliebers/fans?".
