Justin Bieber: 'Never Say Never'

The soon-to-be 17-year-old pop star Justin Bieber flat-out did not exist yet wh

en Nintendo unleashed their NES gaming console on the world back in the '80s, but that age gap isn't going to stop him from using the "Super Mario Bros." theme in his upcoming 3-D concert movie/life documentary "Justin Bieber: Never Say Never." No, what's going to stop Bieber from using a 15-second snippet of the insanely catch NES standard's theme music in the movie is Nintendo itself.

"Never Say Never" director John Chu tweeted on Saturday, "aw C'mon Nintendo! Y won't u let us use the Mario theme for 15 secs in the @Justinbieber movie...talk about free advertising passed up. Oops."

For starters, it ought to be said that there's precedent for having licensed Nintendo music in your movie. Edgar Wright pulled it off, with no less a game than "The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past," in last year's amazing-but-horribly underseen comic book adaptation, "Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World."

Beyond that... look. I'm going to be the guy who says it. There will be others. There probably have been already. But I'll say it too. Bieber is a huge presence in pop culture today, no question. But he's no Nintendo. So I'm not sure that the publisher passing up on "free advertising" is much of a big deal.

We're still talking about the NES and the gaming devices that followed it today, and we'll be doing the same thing 20 years from now, only the Wii, DS and 3DS and who knows what else will also be involved in the conversation. I can't say where Mr. Bieber will be 20 years from now, but I can predict with a fair amount of certainty that he won't have been at the forefront of a musical revolution.

Bob Marley's heirs win image case in Nevada court

LAS VEGAS – A federal jury has sided with Bob Marley's family in ruling against a Nevada company accused of making and selling apparel featuring the reggae icon's image.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported Friday that jurors ruled against AVELA and owner Leo Valencia, awarding $300,000 in damages to a company owned by Marley's family.

U.S. District Judge Philip Pro is expected to award more damages after determining how much profit was lost because of unfair competition.

A lawyer told the jury in Las Vegas that Bob Marley's children don't want to see the reggae legend portrayed as a bobblehead or a plush toy.

Marley died in 1981 at age 36. His heirs, under the name Fifty-Six Hope Road Music Ltd. and Zion Rootswear, filed the lawsuit in January 2008.

"Though I was too young for it to really be a boyfriend - we didn't live together, we didn't, you know . . . That was my only experience with a guy, and since then I've only had one other boyfriend in my life ' Jay."

Kid Rock's 40th birthday bash includes 45K fans

Michael Jackson Threatened to Cancel Concerts If He Didn't Get His 'Milk'

The preliminary hearings in the case against Dr. Conrad Murray, the physician charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson, continued yesterday in Los Angeles with some of its most outrageous testimony yet. For their 20th witness, the prosecution called Detective Orlando Martinez, one of the investigators who interviewed Dr. Murray for three hours just two days after Jackson's death, to detail Murray's own account of what happened the night Jackson died on June 25th, 2009. In short, Murray admitted to administering Jackson with Propofol the night the singer died, but only after various other methods -- rubbing Jackson's feet and back with skin lotion, meditation, and administering less powerful sedatives -- failed to help Jackson sleep the night after a "fabulous" rehearsal, the AP reports.

Instead, Murray told investigators that Jackson demanded his "milk," Jackson's playful term for Propofol, the powerful sedative used mostly for in-hospital and surgical use, because of its cloudy white appearance in its vial. According to Murray, Jackson even threatened to cancel his already-delayed This Is It run of 50 concerts at London's O2 Arena if Murray didn't help Jackson sleep. The physician placated Jackson by giving him a 25 milligram dose of Propofol, half the amount Murray had given Jackson six nights a week for two months. However, after administering the Propofol and taking a bathroom break that spanned a few minutes, Murray told investigators he returned to Jackson's bedroom to discover the singer had stopped breathing.

Last week, prosecutors presented evidence that Murray's "short bathroom break" was actually much longer, as phone records showed Murray spent nearly an hour making personal calls during a crucial time when he should have been observing his patient. When Murray finally did find Jackson unresponsive, a Jackson bodyguard previously testified that Murray blundered CPR efforts and failed to contact paramedics in a timely matter. Murray was also accused of hiding vials of Propofol and other evidence in the hours after Jackson's death; police later recovered 14 vials of the reported 255 vials of Propofol Murray had ordered from a pharmaceutical company.

Since this is only a preliminary hearing, a judge will ultimately decide whether the prosecution has produced enough evidence to bring Murray to a jury trial. Because the burden of proof is entirely on the prosecution in these proceedings, Murray's defense lawyers have just sat back at these hearings and listened to what the prosecution has against them. If Murray does go to trial, it's expected that his defense will revolve around his claim that, during that long bathroom break, Jackson actually administered the deadly dose of Propofol to himself.

Green Day's NSFW Album Title: Not Just Egomania

Is the live rock & roll experience so wild and uncontainable, so raw and unpredictable that bands just have to stretch the limits of the PMRC when they capture shows on tape? Green Day's upcoming live CD/DVD set, due in March, will chronicle their raucous "21st Century Breakdown" tour. The title, "Awesome as F---," follows in the footsteps of the Replacements (1985's "The S--- Hits the Fans"), Metallica (1993's "Live S---: Binge & Purge"), and the Beastie Boys (2006's live film, "Awesome; I F-----' Shot That!").

The Green Day title is not profane for profanity's sake, though we wouldn't put that past the band that sang a tune called "It's F--- Time" eight times -- yes, you read that correctly, and it was seriously painful in person -- during a two-hour set as their alter egos Foxboro Hot Tubs in New York last year. Fansite GreenDayMind explains the evolution of the phrase as it relates to Billie Joe Armstrong and Co.:

In short, Fans started to holding up signs simply reading "Thanks" at Green Day shows, and Armstrong began acknowledging them on Twitter. A fan named Abbey posted on a message board that the signs were "awesome as f---," and another fan suggested she bring a placard communicating that sentiment to a show. So she did, at the Denver show at the Comfort Dental Amphitheater on August 28th, 2010. The signs clearly caught Armstrong's eye -- he tweeted about them after the gig, and mentioned them during "Good Riddance" (4:12 mark of the video here). The signs became a movement and voila: new album title that could come off as a little egocentric but is really just enthusiastic.

In other Green Day news, Armstrong interrupted an interview with a New York Times reporter this week to put on a dress and crack up his "American Idiot" co-stars (taking notes from Dave Grohl, perhaps?) and says he's considering teaming with his Broadway collaborator Michael Mayer on an original new show. Here's someadvice from U2: Don't base it on Superman.

"I want them to be my guest at my show and they will come backstage as I learn from them how young people are changing the world. You all know someone who is making a difference, so get in touch."

The North American dates are the first from Jackson since her troubledRock Witchu Tour in 2008, which was plagued by a series of postponements and cancellations due to a bout of migrane-associated vertigo.

Paramore 'React' to Ex-Members' Rant By Not Reacting

It's possible that when MTV airs their special report Friday afternoon on the state of splintered Tennessee pop-punk band Paramore, titled "Paramore: The Last Word" (frankly, we were expecting "Paramore: Oh My God, Guys, What Are We Going to Do Since There Are So Few Rock Bands Left for Us to Cover!?"), the group's remaining members -- Hayley Williams, Taylor York, and Jeremy Davis -- will be candid, but based on the exclusive comments they've given the network so far, they're pretty married to a "nothing to see here, folks!" strategy. You can practically feel their lawyers' breath on their new quotes:

About that scathing statement Josh and Zac Farro posted online, claiming Williams stole their band, manipulated them, and forced them to betray their Christian values -- Williams was simply "not happy." York thinks it was "a drag."

York is actually surprised the Farros decided to air all this dirty laundry, because, "It seemed like a lot of the stuff was pretty irrelevant to what happened."

If the Farros are lying or exaggerating their version of events, the rest of Paramore could sue them for libel, "a written or oral defamatory statement or representation that conveys an unjustly unfavorable impression." If they're telling the truth, then maybe it wasn't all that irrelevant after all. MTV says they'll publish Paramore's responses to each accusation tomorrow, so Hot Topic only has one day to silkscreen Team Hayley and Team Farro shirts!
