Sixteen-year old superstar Justin Bieber has an exhilarating year ahead of him as he gives out another piece of anthology, Never Say Never: The Remixes, the musical companion for the debut of his up and coming Paramount Pictures film Justin Bieber: Never Say Never to be shown in Philippine cinemas on March 23.
From his music to his fashion style and hairstyle - everything that Bieber does is bound to be a public highlight and this is why he remains to be one of the world's biggest pop artists of today. And to keep the momentum going, he drops off an exciting remixes album, which contains 7 tracks."
For this album, Justin Bieber has collaborated with some of the biggest names in music including Kanye West, Raekwon, Usher, Rascal Flatts, Chris Brown and Miley Cyrus. The title track, "Never Say Never," features Jaden Smith and as an addition to Bieber's recent highlights, the duo performed the song at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards. This was Justin Bieber's first-ever Grammy performance, which garnered an impressive response from the crowd.
Other must-hear tracks of this album are the "live" version of "Overboard," which is a duet with Miley Cyrus, recorded when Bieber was performing at the Madison Square Garden, and the surprising remix of "Runaway Love" featuring Kanye West and Raekwon. "That Should Be Me" remix features chart-topping group Rascal Flatts, while in "Up" remix, Bieber is joined by R&B singer, Chris Brown. And of course, let's not forget the awesome "Somebody to Love" remix featuring Bieber's mentor, Usher, and "Born To Be Somebody", which is a new track penned by Golden Globe winner Dianne Warren.
All of these songs are prominently featured in Justin Bieber's film, which documents an authentic, first-hand look at the life, journey, and success of the young entertainer as he goes from a small town, Stratford, Ontario native street performer to a global superstar. The film's credited producers include Scooter Braun, Justin Bieber, Antonio "L.A." Reid, Usher Raymond IV, Dan Cutforth and Jane Lipsitz.

A lovely weekend visiting my friend who paints, Becky, and the second weekend of her gallery opening in the Little Shop of Arts and Antiques in Lilburn, GA. The brain child of Barbara Barth...author, artist, antique collector/seller, shop keeper, promoter, you name it, she runs this delightful little shop that is full of color, energy and has it all. A cozy little place, it is filled to the brim with all treasures imaginable from original art by local artisans, hand crafted steam punk jewelry, antiques, and gift items. Look above, look below, inside drawers and cabinets, there is treasure hidden everywhere.
Everywhere you turn there are tiny vignettes of style and design.
Clementine is dressed and moved from room to room at shop owner, Barbara's whim. Today she was wearing an Edwardian waist shirt, sassy scarf and vintage hat.
Vintage time pieces...perfect for the time watch collector or your local white rabbit.
Robin's egg blue eggs in silver have a rich, yet simplistic look to them.
Even a children's corner with antique desk, vintage rag dolls, and lots of books for reading time.
Love this mannequin's look of vintage slips and pretty latigo and pressed leather, vintage purses.
A stack of original art is enticing.
Growing up as a Kosher-Catholic, I have a fondness for vintage Catholic items and you will find these throughout the shop. (I always marry up menorah's with creche's at Christmas)
Don't you just love this pretty pink washstand? So many nifty things can be found here. Will have to return often to say hello to new and old friends and to find a treasure or two.
Found some great items over the weekend. I love 18th and 19th century pieces. This pretty plum pudding stoneware piece dates from the 1840s.
Neat little Peter Rabbit book from the 1940s.
Pretty, little color plates inside too.
Nifty pair of vintage tap panties. Original price tag still intact.
A second pair of vintage panties. Original union label and tag still attached. Circa 1960s.
A nice assortment of vintage lace hankerchiefs. I convert these into christening caps.
I'm a sucker for old shoes. This pretty pair of antique children's shoes have pearl buttons on the ankle strap. Well worn, I wonder how many hours were spent jumping rope in these. Circa 1900s.
Sorry about the blurred photograph. I didn't realize that my flash was off and the room was dusky. Still, this is a lovely print from a convent. The Holy Mother with her Son, Jesus. Original ornate frame, bubble glass and wood backing. Circa late 1890s.
A pair of traveler's alarm clocks...all in perfect walking order and loud alarm still works. Neat little oil can that has the original price tag from J. J. Newberry and a price of 15 cents.
Pretty little antique marigold, carnival glass small bowl. Great early piece with a marvelous lustre to it.
and finally, three antique, needle etched wine stems. I love needle etched glass and crystal. Very popular in the late 1800s and through the 1920s-30s before machine etched glass took over in popularity and demand. There is something so exquisite about this fine etch work. These are either Fosteria or Tiffen...pattern unknown. Circa 1920s.
So it was a wonderful weekend visiting the Little Shop of Arts and Antiques in Lilburn, GA and then a weekend of some great finds for my booths. I hope you all have a pleasant week. Sea Witch
So, it's a deal! Universal has taken the domestic distribution right of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, the most promising movie of the year, and I bet it will be worth-anticipated for the movie!
It is a movie on a former MI:6 operative agent comes out from retirement to identify the traitor within the MI:6. This movie is directed by Tomas Alferson (director of Let The Right One In!). And of course, it is formed by a pretty strong cast, Gary Oldman, Colin Firth (recent Oscar winner!), Tom Hardy, Mark Strong (One of my fav!), Toby Jones and John Hurt. Now, they got Universal, a nice and classic storyline, I can't see how this film is going to disappoint the audience!
Oldman as Smiley~
Tom Hardy on the set of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy!
Well, the cast is so strong that you have no worry at all on the acting, now we would like to see how Tomas Alferson is going to present this classic drama series and squeeze it into a 2 hours screenplay! And for Gary Oldman's Smiley character, previously potrayed by Alec Guinness.
"It’s proper work, and I haven’t done that for a long time. I’ve played some amazing roles and I’ve had a good run, but this is something else. And it’s like coming home. I can’t remember the last time I played an Englishman,” Oldman on playing George Smiley and involved in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.
Oldman's acting is as convincing as he always does, so who knows? Smiley's role might win Gary something, you know the one that just won by his co-star Colin Firth recently!
I'm really looking forward into this film. It will be released around late November or December this year, probably will be here (...in Malaysia) next year only if they consider to be released at the same time. Can't wait for that!
(PS : Ah, it might be released at the same time with Sherlock Holmes 2! Holmes or Smiley? )Read more...

There are obviously many choices when trying to find the best gifts for the women in your life, but any of these ideas would make most women happy.
You would think that even a George Soros funded, anti-Israeli, anti-Semitic group that was trying to pass itself off as the mainstream voice of American Judaism would have the smarts to offer some Kosher cuisine at their conference.
When I arrived at the conference this morning, before 8 a.m., I asked a staff person if the breakfast would include kosher options. She told me it would. But when the food arrived, there was nothing kosher to be found–not even fruit. I sufficed with coffee and decided to wait for lunch, when–with an hour of free time–I could rush on the metro to a kosher restaurant.
When that time came, I got ready to hurry out of the conference room only to be told by multiple J Street staffers that there were sandwiches for purchase across the building and yes, some of them were kosher.
You can guess what happened next. I arrived at the sandwich cart and requested the kosher option. I got a blank stare in return, and when I asked the manager she told me she had no idea what I was talking about. She hadn’t heard anything about kosher sandwiches. The best they could do, they said, was a regular turkey sandwich with the cheese taken off. No good.
From the comments:
I attended the conference last year with a small group of open-minded Orthodox students from my university, no kosher food to be found. We notified one of the senior staff of J Street who apologized and told us it was an organizational slip, that they had ordered kosher food but it somehow didn’t arrive. At least this time they didn’t lie about not expecting any observant attendees.
Funny. Is J-Street knowingly so far out of whack with traditional Jewish values that they assumed any Jews who even went to the trouble of keeping Kosher would never show their face at their conference? Or was it a deliberate slap in the face to observant Jews, a way to make them uncomfortable and feeling unwelcome?
Why not just host a pig roast, and get it out in the open and over with?
Jews may be perceived as smart, but they are really simply better educated, which outside of Israel has not helped their survival skills any (would you rather be lost in the woods with Sarah Palin or Barack Obama?). Liberals too as a whole may also be better educated but have less common sense than your average bricklayer. You would think that, in order to maintain the charade that J-Street is some type of "Jewish" organization, they would at least make a feeble attempt at keeping kosher.
Comical in its ineptness, like so much of the Left's efforts. The equivalent, I suppose, of a Russian spy trying to work his way into secret corridors without dropping his Boris Badenovaccent. One would shake their heads before showing them the door.
Which is what should happen to J-Street, of course. Which is what would happen, if so many weren't intent on seeing them succeed...
