Singer, Punk’d master and anti-bullying advocate Justin Bieber has lent his tune “Born to be Somebody” to be the background music for the new “Bully” trailer. A majah supporter of the doc, the Biebz was one of 500,000+ people who signed an online petition urging the MPAA to give “Bully” an age-rating lower than R. the petition paid off, and now the film is rated PG-13, so teens affected by bullying can see it. There’s a lot to be said for being a Belieber!

Justin saw the movie himself back in March, and tweeted ‘bout it:

just watched the #BULLY movie. really intense. really powerful. we need to stand up for eachother

— Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) March 10, 2012

Reppin’ hard for the film is just one of the many ways JB has spoken out against bullying. in the video below, he showed his support for Ellen DeGeneres’s message to Be Kind to one Another by encouraging bystanders of bullying to “step in and help out.”

Bieber donated his golden locks voice to help stop digital abuse too. He partnered with MTV’s A thin Line Campaign to bring awareness to the cause. by posting your action to stop digital abuse on Draw your Line, MTV’s virtual map tracking actions taken across the country, you were entered to win a voicemail greeting from Biebz. #Amaze

Last year, Justin met Casey Heynes, known as the “gentle giant who had enough” or you might know him as the Aussie student who stood up to a bully and became a viral wonder. the pop star flew Casey and his fam to Melbourne, Australia, and made them VIP at one of his shows. He even brought Casey on stage during his performance of “Never Say Never” — fitting, right?

While talking with Casey and his dad, Justin shared, “It’s one thing to get bullied and stand up for yourself, but more people have to stand in and actually do something.” during the interview, the Biebz even revealed that he was bullied before he became famous.

He also talked about being picked on during an appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.” He mentioned some less than kind YouTube comments he received.

“Everybody goes through bullying,” said Justin. “Everybody has, even me. On my YouTube page, there are so many haters. They just say crazy stuff…People are like, ‘Look at him, he puts helium in his voice before he sings.’”

Oooof. What may sound like helium to some has made Justin who he is today. We’re glad you never said never, JB! XO

Props To Justin Bieber’s Anti-Bullying Crusade

For too long, classical music has been regarded as the domain of instrumentalists, composers, academic musicologists and, typically, anyone over 40 years old. But while the majority of today’s youth would rather listen to Britney Spears’ greatest hits or watch My Chemical Romance on MTV, the view that young people are completely uninterested in classical music is not just erroneous – it’s simply not grounded in historical reality.

Mozart, widely regarded as one of the greatest classical composers of all time, wrote his first symphony at age eight and was dead by the age of 35. Schubert also died when he was 31, while Chopin famously didn’t live past the age of 39. Moreover, the phenomenon of the castrato in classical music in the 1700s shows that young people haven’t just been interested in classical music throughout the years – they’ve practically been canonised as part of a classical music tradition that, although lost, is not forgotten.

Today’s orchestras, choirs and opera houses are packed with young singers and musicians, many of whom are still in their twenties. Moreover, almost all modern, successful classical musicians will have undergone training from a very young age. Charlotte Church may have made headlines when she released her debut album Voice of an Angel in 1998 aged just thirteen, but while her phenomenal mainstream success was not typical, the fact that she was such a young musician in the classical industry was.

In the twenty-first century, the likes of Katherine Jenkins and male soprano Michael Maniaci, 28 and 29 years of age respectively, are making headlines the world over for their innovative approach to classical music and their stunning vocal range. Edward Gardner, the new Music Director of Glyndebourne on Tour (one of the UK’s premier operatic fixtures), is also only 28, proving that there is certainly no dearth of young people performing classical music, although there may be fewer youths than OAPs listening to it.

But as classical music institutions and performing arts organisations try their best to reduce their median audience age, classical music isn’t just becoming more accessible to young people – it’s also becoming more affordable. Scottish Opera, for instance, offer special ticket deals for people under 26, while many music-specialist booksellers are making classical music books and guides that will help younger classical listeners learn more about the craft. So while many may lament the loss or decline of youth interest in classical music in today’s world, they need only look towards the country’s concert halls to see where the future lies.

Finkle is Cundiff! Cundiff is Finkle!

All Baltimore Ravens kicker Billy Cundiff had to do was make a chip shot 32-yarder from the right hash. Joe Flacco had driven the offense from their own 21 yard line to the Patriots’ 14 in a textbook two-minute drill, and it seemed a sure thing that this AFC Championship Game was going into overtime. Alas, we know what happened next.

In 10 years, nobody will remember Flacco failing to check down on 3rd and 1 for what probably would have been a touchdown or Steven Tyler skibbidy-bopping his way through the national anthem. There is only Billy Cundiff and his monumental chunk job. He’s officially the real-life Ray Finkle, of “Ace Ventura” fame. So we’d advise the Baltimore organization to place some extra security around their crow raven mascot, and we suggest holder Sam Koch get checked for STDs, lest he die of gonorrhea and rot in hell.

Shanked do-or-die kicks: funny when mixed up with madcap humor and Dan Marino’s acting chops, depressing in real life.

Billy Cundiff Is The New Ray Finkle

“Teen Mom 2′s” Jenelle Evans smiled for the camera after her most recent arrest.

By Ree Hines

Just hours before Tuesday night’s episode of “Teen Mom 2″ aired on MTV, one of the show’s young subjects found herself in trouble with the law.

It’s a familiar predicament for Jenelle Evans. In the past, she’s been arrested for breaking and entering, drug possession, fighting and violating probation. now, after thoroughly falling out with former BFF and roommate Hannah Inman, she can add harassment to that growing list.

“Yes I was arrested again,” Evans announced to her Facebook fans Tuesday night. “It’s okay, Hannah’s just calling her own bluffs. How can I harass u with phone calls when u clearly don’t own a cell phone? I’ve dropped this argument weeks ago.”

Of course, it takes two to drop an argument, and Evans went on to imply that Inman is actually the one harassing her, having allegedly told her own followers that she’s going to “f—ing kill” Evans. But it seems Inman believes Jenelle made the first threat.

“She claims that she move out becuz I said I would ‘eventually kill her’ …” Evans wrote, before denying the claim. “Yes u set me up and yes u will go down. CAN’T WAIT FOR COURT!”

Evans wasn’t nearly as eager to go to the Brunswick County jail in North Carolina Tuesday. according to the reality TV personality, the arrest came as she was suffering with mono, strep throat and tonsil problems.

“Yeah as I’m about to walk out the door to go to the hospital the cop is at my door and I got down on my knees and poured out tears,” she explained. “I was so upset. I had to go to jail THEN go to the hospital. I feel like s—, would greatly appreciate it if everyone would drop it. K?! Thxxxx!”

In case that sympathetic plea doesn’t work, Evan’s has her go-to lawyer ready to defend her.

In a statement to Starcasm.net, attorney Dustin Sullivan said that he believes, “these charges against Jenelle are completely absurd and retaliatory in nature.”

‘Teen Mom’ Jenelle Evans arrested for harassment

It’s always an honor to head over to 30 Rock, attend “Saturday Night Live” rehearsals and get to interview the celebs they’ve picked to be on the show that week. It’s a chance I’d never turn my nose at. this week, I had the most awesome pleasure of chatting with this week’s host Katy Perry and musical guest Robyn. (The pair had previously toured together on Katy’s “California Dreams” tour, FYI.)

In addition to getting some awesome inside scoop about the show from the two pop stars (and just who Katy is getting hosting advice from. Hint: She’s married to him), I also got the chance to check out the duo, joined by Bill Hader, doing his legendary Stefon act, putting together one of the show’s funny little promos.

In between takes, the trio hung around, chatted a bit and Bill pretty much stayed in his Stefon character the entire time. in the hours leading up to Katy and Robyn’s episode, airing Saturday night (obviously!), we’re sure you’ll see these promos rolling out. but because we’re MTV News and we can offer you some fun behind-the-scenes footage you won’t really see anywhere else, check out what didn’t make the final cut for the network after the jump!

There’s been talk about a “Sin City 2″ for years now, with the back and forth dialogue focusing on partially written scripts and delays. But at New York Comic Con, the creator of the comics and co-director Frank Miller told MTV Geek that he and Robert Rodriguez were polishing up the script to potentially begin production soon.

“Robert Rodriguez and I are finishing up the script on ‘Sin City’ right now and could be shooting as early as this spring,” Miller says. his comments line up with what Rodriguez said earlier this year.

Miller also went into detail about which stories from the universe would factor into the sequel. “‘Sin City 2′ is primarily an adaptation of the book ‘A Dame to Kill for,’” Miller says. “It also features the short story, ‘Just another Saturday Night,’ and two new stories, one involving Jessica Alba‘s character of Nancy Callahan that I came up with for the movie, in order to tie things together and make it be more united with the first.”

But Miller wants to make sure he doesn’t reveal everything about the potential sequel just yet. “That’s about all I can tell you about the story right now because these things are always in flux, and I don’t want to be one of those embarrassing people who says the wrong thing and it lasts forever on the internet,” Miller says.
