I have already created my third blog, which contains my own story. It's for real, of course. Why don't you guys take a look at this: www.yanetkp.blogspot.com
It's a moment of sweet respite for the teen idol, who in two short years went from busker in his native Stratford, Ontario, to one of the top pop artists in the world. The tale of his meteoric rise -- the discovery of his persona and voice on YouTube, the early tutelage by Usher, plus his multi-instrumental talent and self-driven work ethic -- has become its own kind of pop culture fairy tale, a creation myth for the social media generation.
Announced Oct. 27 in a YouTube video message to his fans -- "His version of a press conference," Universal VP of marketing David Grant says -- the Believe Charity Drive enlists Bieber's faithful to help raise millions for a collection of philanthropic organizations-like City of Hope and the Boys & Girls Club -- by the time his next studio album drops in 2012. (The date is still TBD.)

Taylor Swift may have outdone herself when her Speak Now tour passed through Atlanta earlier this month. Continuing with her tradition of inviting surprise special guests on stage, she brought hip-hoppers T.I. and Usher out to perform their respective hits, "Live Your Life" and "Yeah."
When Usher received a call from Swift, he interrupted a play date at the park with his boys, Usher V and Naviyd, to take up the offer from the country darling.

"It started off as a simple day in the park with the kids," Usher said in an exclusive interview with Yahoo! Music. "We have minivan adventures. Taylor hits me, and says, 'Yo Ush, I'm in town. I'd really love if you could come out and do 'Yeah' with me.' I'm like, 'Well, we haven't had any rehearsals.' [She said], 'No, no. The band's got it. You just show up.'"
Usher said he had two hours to make the trek across Atlanta to the Philips Arena. But his oldest son, Usher V. wasn't disappointed about shortening the time at the park. He was excited when he saw the stage.
"My son [was] looking at the stage saying, 'Daddy, I want to go on stage.' I'm like, 'Son this is not Daddy's show. It's Taylor's show.'"
Usher said he was impressed with Swift's hip-hop demeanor. She offered a convincing baritone-fueled version of Ludacris's rap in the song.
"For real, you guys don't even understand. Taylor, yo, she's crunk for real," Usher explained. "In Atlanta, she came out. She did her thing. I didn't know she and hip-hop swag like that. She came out and they enjoyed it. Then, the finale, my kids came on stage."
For more of Usher, tune in on October 15 at 7 p.m PT for "A Decade of Difference" concert. He'll be joining artists like Lady Gaga, Juanes, K'naan, Kenney Chesney, Bono and The Edge to celebrate the charitable works of President Bill Clinton.
I was surfing on YouTube when I found Beyonce's Countdown advertised on VEVO gadget. But I was watching another video at that time so I didn't click on it.
I haven't watched these vids, I've just planned to upload 'em so you guys can watch 'em together with me. Hahaha. Lol ;-D
Well, well, well...
I've just found the full MV when I was inserting videos above on this blog. I searched it on YouTube. Then... The uploader ain't official. I guess he got it from Facebook. Here it goes...

George Garratt yang secara resmi mengganti namanya menjadi Captain Fantastic Faster Than Superman Spiderman Batman Wolverine Hulk And The Flash Combined.
GLASTONBURY, KOMPAS.com — Seorang remaja berusia 19 tahun secara resmi mengganti namanya menjadi Captain Fantastic Faster Than Superman Spiderman Batman Wolverine Hulk And The Flash Combined, atau jika diterjemahkan dalam bahasa Indonesia menjadi "Kapten Fantastis Lebih Cepat Daripada Gabungan Superman Spiderman Batman Wolverine Hulk Dan The Flash". Remaja asal Glastonbury, Inggris, itu semula bernama George Garratt.
Harian The Telegraph memberitakan, anak itu menggunakan layanan online untuk mengubah namanya secara resmi dengan membayar 20 dollar AS atau sekitar Rp 170.000. Nama baru yang dia anggap terpanjang di dunia itu membuat neneknya marah dan tak mau lagi bicara dengannya.
"Aku ingin nama yang unik dan memutuskan bertema superhero," kata George, eh, Captain Fantastic, soal pilihannya.
"You've got to do the Mandarin. The problem with the Mandarin is that the way it's depicted in the comic books, you don't want to see that. He has 10 magical rings — that just doesn't feel right for our franchise. So it's either tech-based, or the rings are not really rings. But maybe with 'Thor' and all those others, you'll introduce magic to that world and it won't seem so out of place."

By the way, Marvel announced that they're planning to release Iron man 3 in 2013.
and also,
Shane Black is taking over the director's seat for Iron Man 3! I must admit that I'm a bit surprised by Marvel's choice: Shane Black is mostly as a scriptwriter not as a director. Well I'll say, let's give him a chance! "you'll never know till you have tried". Anyway, Marvel is here to keep an eye on the film, and Robert Downey Jr will help.
And the plan is "shooting will start in February next year", Don Cheadle, one of stars of IRON MAN said.
"IRON MAN 3 is coming soon. We'll do it again in February and talk about wars, I guess, may be if I get my role, perhaps I'm gonna do that", Collider said.
Maroon 5 have teamed up with Christina Aguilera to release a new song called 'Moves Like Jagger.' The artists premiered the tune with a live performance on NBC's 'The Voice' on June 21.
With Aguilera and Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine starring side-by-side on the hit singing competition series, a collaboration was bound to happen. The funky, disco-tinged pop track boasts a sexy swagger that both "coaches" exude with ease (take notes, contestants).
In just two days, the song hit No. 1 on the iTunes Top Songs chart. "The guys and I recorded this track in L.A. last month and it was great getting to work with Christina on it as well," Levine said in a press release.
Aguilera was equally as excited to team up with the Los Angeles natives on the tune, saying that "collaborating with Adam and Maroon 5 on this great song was a wonderful opportunity."
'The Voice' has become NBC's most popular show of the 2010-2011 season, and has already been renewed for a second run. Whether the same coaches will be back next year has not yet been confirmed.
Maroon 5 will be co-headlining a North American tour this summer with Train, kicking off on July 22 in Chula Vista, Calif.
Pitbull has learned valuable lessons from a number of artists.
First there was Luther Campbell of 2 Live Crew, who initially pushed Pitbull to flex his gruff-voiced freestyle skills on Miami rap radio.
Then there was Lil Jon, the crunk king who gave Pitbull his first major feature, on the 2002 "Kings of Crunk" album, and produced his debut solo single, 2004's "Culo." And one mustn't forget Italian beatmakers Nicola Fasano and Pat Rich, whose song "75, Brazil Street" served as the basis for Pitbull's 2009 global smash "I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)," which in addition to selling 2.6 million copies in the United States (according to Nielsen SoundScan) has racked up nearly 200 million plays on YouTube.
Still, ask this MC -- born 30 years ago as Armando Christian Perez in Florida to Cuban-immigrant parents -- whom he's looking to for inspiration these days, and it's not a chart-topping producer or an arena-packing rapper. It's Apple CEO Steve Jobs.
"You have to be constantly outdoing yourself," Pitbull says via the phone from Paris, where he's knee-deep in a round of promotion for his new album, "Planet Pit," due June 21 from Mr. 305/Polo Grounds/J. Following the City of Light, he was off to Germany and the Netherlands. "That's what [Jobs] knew: He had the Mac, but then he did the iPod, then the iPhone and then the iPad. There's always room for improvement."
A self -described entrepreneur who says he envisions music paving the way toward his own marketing firm, Pitbull measures success the way multinational corporations do -- which comes as no surprise, given the wide-ranging business he does with blue chip brands like Kodak, Bud Light and Dr Pepper. "I make music with no boundaries," he says. "There's no specific class or people or culture I'm trying to target. And every time I reach a new audience, that means I'm doing something right."
Two years after "I Know You Want Me" sparked a pop crossover that ultimately drove the song to No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, outdoing himself is precisely what Pitbull hopes to accomplish with "Planet Pit," his sixth studio outing and the follow-up to last year's Spanish-language "Armando." Pitbull's most recent English album, "Rebelution," came out in 2009 and has sold 222,000 copies, according to SoundScan. The fresh 12-track set finds the rapper teaming with an assassins' row of A-list writer/producers, including Dr. Luke and RedOne, as well as guest stars like Enrique Iglesias, Chris Brown and Marc Anthony. Ne-Yo sings the arena-disco hook on the album's current single, "Give Me Everything," which this week stands at No. 2 on the Hot 100; elsewhere, Pitbull recruits Kelly Rowland to endow "Castle Made of Sand" with a glimmer of electro-emo melancholy.
