Bieber performed his track “Mistletoe” off his holiday album, Under the Mistletoe, during the annual event. This marks the second time the teen star has appeared on the show, as he performed two years ago.

“Waking up with a bad cold … weather change. but will be ready tonight for CHRISTMAS in WASHINGTON. #resting,” he tweeted before the show, and later added, “Feeling good. Just had some fun at rehearsals and now we r ready. Time to sing for the President. #canadianrepresenter. Seeing the fans … being here again 2 years later. Feeling very #blessed and #grateful. Thank U! Great night! President Obama is one cool Prez. He told me he was ‘chillin.’ #PresidentialSWAG.”

During the event, a number of Christmas classics like “This Christmas,” “Silent Night,” “Let It Snow” and “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” were performed. The night ended with all of the performers, as well as the Obamas and host Conan O’Brien, taking the stage for “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing.”

The full concert is set to air Friday on TNT.

Justin Bieber Grows Up and Wants Adult Approach on Next Album

For his upcoming albums, Justin Bieber has said he wants his career to move in the similar direction that Justin Timberlake took after he broke away from *N Sync. As did Timberlake, Bieber wants to take a more adult approach for his future projects.

Bieber’s longtime vocal producer, Kuk Harrell, says, “It’s really important that it’s the proper transition because (…) now we’re watching him grow up,” said Harrell, who also worked with Rihanna on her latest album. “We can’t just throw him into the adult game right away. It has to be the proper transition. There’s a record in between.” Harrell continues, “That’s why I think this Christmas album was really important, because it gave everybody the opportunity to hear him, see him and get used to his voice changing,” he said. “When his proper album comes out, everybody’s going to really be looking at [him vocally].”

With the fine details of his next album being kept quiet, Bieber will release his video for “All I Want for Christmas,” co-starring Mariah Carey, on Wednesday.

Justin Bieber Accuser Still Wants DNA Test, Says New Lawyer

With her paternity lawsuit against Justin Bieber reportedly dropped, Mariah Yeater now is trying to pursue her claim out of court.

“This matter is not over,” Jeffery M. Leving, who says he’s one of Yeater’s new lawyers, tells WGN-TV in Chicago. “Negotiations are going on right now with Bieber’s counsel. There’s a new legal team [in place.]”

Yeater, 20, still “believes Justin Bieber is the father,” he adds. “We’re trying to secure a private DNA test, because this case is out of control.”

Leving adds that Yeater has been receiving death threats and that he fears for her safety. “I don’t want something terrible to happen to my client or her child,” Leving says.

“My goal, when a DNA test is completed, is to keep everything confidential, which will be difficult if not impossible,” he says. “I’m very concerned about this.”

Bieber’s spokesman Matthew Hiltzik has not commented specifically on the reported withdrawal of the case but says, “As we’ve said from the beginning, it’s sad that someone would fabricate such a malicious, defamatory, and demonstrably false claim. We’ll continue to consider all of our options to protect Justin.”

Always Wanted A Justin Bieber Singing Toothbrush?? Well You Are In Luck!

If you thought you’d seen it all on the Justin Bieber merchandise out there, you were wrong.

The pop superstar has cornered a previously uncharted market with the launch of his very own SINGING toothbrushes.

The electric scrubbers will come in two designs – one plays Biebs’ hit tunes Baby and U Smile, while the other blasts out Somebody To Love and Love Me.

Each song lasts two minutes – the recommended length of time for a teeth-brushing session.

The personal hygiene appliances from Ashtel Dental will launch on July 1.

Other Bieber-themed oral care products by the company include an adult toothbrush, floss and travel kit – which includes a mini hourglass timer and a tongue scraper.

Are you just so excited?!

New Artist Spotlight – Liz Loughrey

Earlier this week, Liz Loughrey wowed us with her cover of Jessie J’s ‘Who You Are’ and now we’ve got an exclusive interview for you to find out more about this rising Canadian star who is set to be Canada’s biggest export to the States since Justin Bieber.

At 15, Loughrey’s confidence and ability exceed that of most people twice her age. In 2010, Loughrey found herself sharing the stage with Marianas Trench, one of Canada’s most successful bands. After submitting a video to a competition organized by the band, Liz was chosen to perform “Good To You” with the band’s lead singer Josh Ramsey in front of a sold out crowd of thousands at Toronto’s Direct Energy Centre. Following her performance, fans of Marianas Trench quickly spread the word online about Loughrey’s incredible vocal ability through social networks like YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook, helping to establish a firm fan base for the budding young star.

Check out iMusicDaily host Tom Bridegroom’s exclusive interview with Liz! We even got her to sing for us! –

Justin Bieber Covers Rolling Stone

On sex before marriage:
“I don’t think you should have sex with anyone unless you love them. I think you should just wait for the person you’re…in love with.”

On being a Canuck:
“You guys are evil. Canada’s the best country in the world. We go to the doctor and we don’t need to worry about paying him, but here, your whole life, you’re broke because of medical bills. My bodyguard’s baby was premature, and now he has to pay for it. In Canada, if your baby’s premature, he stays in the hospital as long as he needs to, and then you go home.”

On politics:
“I’m not sure about the parties. But whatever they have in Korea, that’s bad.”

On abortion:
“I really don’t believe in abortion. It’s like killing a baby? [In instances where the pregnancy is from rape] Um. Well, I think that’s really sad, but everything happens for a reason. I guess I haven’t been in that position, so I wouldn’t be able to judge that.”

Justin Bieber Vanity Fair Cover Boy

What do you say when a guy is on the cover of a magazine? If it’s a girl, you say that so and so graces the cover, but what about a guy? And what if the guy is Justin Bieber? I mean, a lot of people think he looks like a lesbian with that short shaggy hair do, so I guess it’s ok to say graces.

Justin Bieber graces the cover of the new issue of Vanity Fair. Seems only fitting that the teenager would be covered in lipstick. Looks like Selena Gomez got a little carried away with the pubescent pop star.
