Justin Bieber might have postponed a performance this past Sunday because of illness, but the teen sensation is still set to play the Maryland State Fair this weekend, organizers said. Concert promoter Paul Manna, who booked Bieber to perform Sunday at the Timonium fairgrounds, said he's not too worried about a Bieber cancellation. "If this were the day before our show, I would be a lot more concerned than I am now," Manna said. "It's a bit concerning, but I can't control these things.

If anyone ever makes Jermaine Paul be a back-up singer again, America needs to punch that person in the face. The anticipation was murderous, but America finally found out who won the second season of "The Voice"and a recording contract - after all mandatory reality show dramatic pauses - so this season's winner is ... Jermaine Paul, the Alicia Keys back-up singer who was ready to make it big on his own. Yes, Team Blake took home the crown...

Move over, Chad Ochocinco. Justin Bieber is the latest star to cross over to the soccer field. The dreamy Canadian pop sensation, who was in Spain for a concert, practiced with FC Barcelona on Wednesday. You know you want to watch this video.

A flurry of new children's books is headed for the shelves, and the authors carry some very familiar names, including Stephen Colbert. A look at the future: -- Colbert's book, "I Am a Pole (And So Can You!)" is scheduled for a May 8 release, according to USA Today . The article notes that the tale, mentioned in his January interview with author Maurice Sendak, became an Internet sensation. "It's been a lifelong dream of mine to write a children's book. I hope the minutes you and your loved ones spend reading it are as fulfilling as the minutes I spent writing it," Colbert said in a statement.

Boston suffered another significant loss on Wednesday: Tom Brady cut his hair. The Patriots quarterback showed up at practice without his signature Bieber bangs , and thanks to the fine folks in the Patriots media relations department, I have secured a photo of the recently-shorn reigning MVP. The Boston Globe published a clever obituary for Brady's hair , which perhaps uncoincidentally was clipped days after Brady threw four...

Baltimore's bawdy John Waters and teenage heartthrob Justin Bieber have a little something in common. Facial hair. Justin's, of course, hangs over his eyes — those famously floppy bangs. Waters' creeps across his upper lip. And now, young Justin, one of the hottest stars on the planet, has let the world know he covets the filmmaker's trademark, pencil-thin mustache. The two shared the sofa last week as guests on Britain's "The Graham Norton Show. " Bieber was there being a heartthrob, while Waters promoted his book "Role Models.

Teen sensation Justin Bieber wowed a sold-out Allentown Fair crowd made up almost entirely of girls ranging from roughly 3 to 16 years old. The concert Saturday night delivered what the audience wanted. Wonderfully choreographed versions of his hit songs. Lights. Smoke. Adorable Bieber baby photos on the video screen. He brought one teen girl on stage and handed her red roses while singing "One Less Lonely Girl. " You should have seen her look of pure joy. He showed off his skills by playing guitar and drums.

Judging by the spine-tingling screams, Justin Bieber's show Sunday night at the Maryland State Fairgrounds was a hit. Never mind that the 16-year-old pop whiz kid lip-synched some of his songs, or dashed off stage after nearly every song. He was there, and that was all that mattered for his legion of teenage fans. The Canadian singer, whose high-pitched voice and accessible mix of slick R&B and pop earned him millions of fans overnight, put on a roughly 90-minute show, drawing from both his albums.

If Monday's “The Voice” was a night of shock but little awe, Tuesday night was a night of crappy filler and little justification. After the merciless blow of instant eliminations, Christina Aguilera was called upon to defend herself for her cut of fan-favorite (and probable finalist) Jesse Campbell. She brushed it off, saying “I'm no stranger to controversy. I'm OK with that.” Are you? No one else is OK with it, Christina. No one. The coaches did hold all the power Monday, but Tuesday the audience had a bit more say, with their votes saving one person out of three remaining on Teams Blake and Christina, and the coaches saving one. (I think “The Voice” producers are making the rules up as they go; this is a decidedly different - and more prolonged - format than last year, and not even Wikipedia's charts and infographics are offering any clarification.)

Very few rappers get second chances, but Wale did when he signed with Rick Ross' Maybach Music Group earlier this year. "Ambition" - the D.C. rapper's sophomore album released last Tuesday - proves, at least from a numbers perspective, Wale deserved another shot at stardom. "Ambition" will debut on the Billboard 200 at No. 2 after selling 164,000 copies in its first week. Justin Bieber's Christmas album, the icky-titled "Under the Mistletoe," will be the only record above Wale's, with 210,000 copies sold.

The 19th-century French novelist Alexandre Dumas might be puzzled if he could somehow see the latest movie adaptation of "The Three Musketeers," but any living soul who has seen the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise will recognize that this is an overly familiar 3-D swashbuckler that's as predictable as the swords that periodically threaten to poke your eyes. Alas, Johnny Depp is not one of the musketeers, because the actors they do have don't go far enough to fill the comic vacuum.

Stephanie Rawlings-Blake is an embarrassment and a disgrace to anybody who ever attended Western High School. We were taught better than that, ignoramus. I'll take competency over personality any day. Let's go Rawlings-Blake. Justin Bieber needs to get an education on how to talk to the media or talk period. Stay in school. Why are you so excited because Beyoncé is pregnant? Her husband Jay-Z drops $350,000 on champagne and you don't even have $350 to pay your BGE bill.

Will they or won't they? It's a question that has surrounded Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez - the pre-teen equivalent of Brangelina - for more than a year now. Will they come out as an official couple? Yes. Will they go on vacation together and have their make-out sessions photographed by paparazzi? Of course. But the burning question for Maryland teens and tweens is, will The Biebs show up at Gomez's gig Friday night at the Maryland State Fair? And if so, will they perform together?

The most lively moment of Selena Gomez and the Scene's 80-minute set Friday night came toward the end of its second half. Gomez, the "Wizards of Waverly" star and girlfriend of Justin Bieber, recreated her viral hit, a backstage clip of her rapping along to Nicki Minaj's "Super Bass. " She does a fine rendition, with enough teen swagger to be cute and mischievous at the same time. While the "He might sell coke" line was edited from the video - this is a Disney star, after all - Gomez kept it in Friday.
