Justin Bieber will make his big screen debut in “Never Say Never” on February 11, a documentary charting his rise to superstardom, but sometimes he misses just being a kid.
“I miss being able to just like, go home and just relax and be with my family, and not do anything for a while, but I love what I do,” Justin told a fan who was selected to ask a question during an appearance on NBC’s “Today” show on Monday. “I love putting smiles on people’s faces.”
In order to keep his feet on the ground, Justin told “Today’s” Matt Lauer, who interviewed the teen sensation, that he schedules his breaks.
“I make sure I have at least one day off a week. I tell them like I need at least one day of downtime to just either rest or hang out with my friends or do something for me because the rest of the week is all jam packed,” he said. “I have to have at least one day.”
While he loves touring, The Biebs said he wishes he could spend more time with his siblings.
“I have a 2-year-old sister and a 1-year old-brother. It’s hard being away from them as well,” he said.
The “Baby” singer said he’s excited about his movie coming out, as it will give people a chance to see what life has been like for the Canadian singer.
”[It shows] what I’ve been going through the past two years and how much it really takes out of you. And it’s just… been so much fun being able to live my dreams. It’s just been amazing,” he said.
Promoting his movie took him back to the “Today” show, but Matt noticed that since he last saw the teen sensation, his voice has changed.
“I mean, my voice is definitely changing gradually,” Justin told Matt. “It’s definitely lower than it was last time I was with you, right?”
In order to keep his pipes golden, Justin said he has a great team around him to help protect his instrument.
“I think that everybody’s voice changes and it’s just how you go through it,” he said. “I have a great vocal coach that’s helping me.”
Not only has Justin’s voice changed in recent months, but so has his hairstyle.
“I’m just messing it up a lot,” Justin said of his new look. “Before, usually I had it like flat… I’m just messing it up now.”
“Messing it up” though won’t mean a close crop.
“No, I’m not shaving it,” Biebs replied when Matt asked if he’d try an even shorter ‘do.

Kim And Khloe Kardashian Plan Girls’ Night For Justin Bieber
If you ask the Kardashians, dates are out this Valentine’s Day. What’s in? Celebrity crushes. Or so say Kim and Khloe in their new ad promoting Justin Bieber’s Never Say Never (featuring a cameo from The Biebs himself), in which they pledge to have a “big girls’ night out” and catch the teen titan’s 3D biopic on its opening weekend. Is this a great idea for young, dateless ladies in need of an activity for Singles Awareness Day, a subtle way to promote Kim’s own song, or something else? Watch here and decide.
We’re having a hard time believing that Kim & Co. really intend to make an outing of her Bahama baby-sitting client’s silver screen debut (a “Targets of Obsession” viewing party, maybe). Catch her expression right before she says, “You never know who might show up” — even she doesn’t look convinced that this is going to happen.
Rallying all the single ladies and steering them toward the multiplex this V-Day may very well be a shrewd marketing ploy, since The Biebs and yearning hearts go together like peanut butter and jelly. What we’re wondering is, couldn’t they have gotten someone a little younger (in other words, less cougar-ish) to do a promo? With Kim nearly twice Justin’s age, they might as well have booked Susan Boyle.

Justin Bieber and Ozzy Osbourne Film Super Bowl Ad
Justin Bieber can check another icon off his list after working with Black Sabbath singer and music legend Ozzy Osbourne for a Super Bowl commercial.
The Best Buy ad will feature Ozzy and Biebs wearing 'Tron'-esque suits.
PEOPLE writes that the commercial was filmed Jan. 17. That same day, Bieber posted some cryptic, excited tweets to his 6.9 million followers, throwing down the hashtag #todaywasepic.
According to USA Today, the 30-second ad will run in the third quarter of the Super Bowl.
"Justin Bieber is the biggest star out there, but that's not why he's in the spot," Best Buy marketing chief Drew Panayiotou told the newspaper. "He symbolically represents something important to the brand message."
Bieber will appear in more Best Buy spots throughout 2011. USA Today contends Bieber is using the spot as "a serious bid to move beyond the world of tween heartbreaker."
'Branded: The Buying and Selling of Teenagers' author Alissa Quart tells the paper Biebs and Oz "are both fish out of water in what we imagine a Super Bowl ad should be: babes and beer."
Ozzy proved he's in touch with today's popular performers by commenting on the potential overexposure of Lady Gaga, telling Us Weekly, "I like her, but I'm getting a bit sick of her. When I turn on the TV, I see her wearing another lamp shade or whatever. She needs to take a break, I think, for an hour or so."

Justin Bieber Stands Tall in 'Never Say Never' Movie Poster
Get ready, Beliebers! Justin Bieber's first full-length feature film 'Never Say Never' hits theaters February 11th. And Monday, Justin's team released the movie's poster, which is sure to be plastered on tween walls around the world.
The poster shows the pint-sized pop star standing tall, with shots of his hometown of Stratford, Canada in black and white and the New York City skyline illuminated further in the distance. I'm going to take a wild guess and bet the road on which Justin is standing represents the metaphoric road he takes on his journey to the top. The poster features the tagline "Find Out What's Possible If You Never Give Up."
Justin's manager Scooter Braun Tweeted that "one critic told me this movie #NeverSayNever3D was 'like the RUDY of Music' - best compliment about the film yet." 'Never Say Never' is supposed to give fans an inside look at Justin's rise from a small town kid to a bona fide superstar, chronicling his tour, continuing education and family life in three dimensions.
The poster child is currently putting the finishing touches on the soundtrack for 'Never Say Never.' Personally I'm dying to see what 3-D effects are used to bring the Biebs' iconic hair to life.

Justin Bieber Preps 'Never Say Never' Soundtrack, Hits Studio With 'Firework' Songwriter Ester Dean
With his much-anticipated film debut, 'Never Say Never,' due to hit the big screen on Feb. 11, multiplatinum music phenom Justin Bieber is putting the finishing touches on the movie's soundtrack. One high-profile songwriter who has wrapped up studio time with the teen superstar is Ester Dean, the Grammy-nominated talent behind hits by Rihanna ('Rude Boy,' 'What's My Name?'), Usher ('Hot Tottie') and Katy Perry ('Firework').
According to Dean, the in-demand Bieber -- who has become a pop culture behemoth, selling over 3 million copies of his debut album 'My World' and over 1 million of the release's extended edition, 'My World 2.0' -- took her by surprise with his humble demeanor. "I first met Justin with Usher at an 'American Idol' event," Dean told PopEater. "He was like, 'Oh my God ... I'm such a fan of your songwriting!' And I'm like, 'You're a fan? [laughs] I'm a fan of your music!'"
While some of Dean's longtime followers may be surprised at the pairing, the genre-jumping artist, who has also become a force in the R&B world drafting hits for Chris Brown, Robin Thicke and Tre Songz, sees no cultural differences when it comes to creating songs. "He's a very talented guy. He was very easy to work with and was very nice," she said. "We just finished up some music for the new movie he has coming out. I can't get too much into it. I don't want to give too much away. [Laughs] But it's going to be great."
"I've worked on all different types of music," Dean said of her diverse resume. "Take Katy Perry ... I've been wanting to collaborate with her since I heard 'I Kissed A Girl.' And I found out later that Katy wanted to work with me! So we did 'Firework' and 'Peacock' and wrote the lyrics together on both songs."
"Katy knew what she wanted. She already had the ideas in her head," Dean continued. "When an artist already has their thoughts for a song together, you only have to help them drive that car. It makes the process much easier. You are basically holding the map, but you still let them drive the car. Katy and I were coming up with some crazy lines like, 'Life is like a plastic bag, just let it go...' It was fun, but I didn't know 'Firework' would take off like it has."
Dean says her collaborations with pop acts like Bieber and Perry can only help end musical divisions. She points to her recent work with Mary J. Blige and Britney Spears, two acts that work at opposite ends of the music spectrum, yet have more in common than some would let on.
"Music is music. People need to get that into their heads," Dean said. "We should get past the segregation of music. If something makes you feel good, dance or want to make love, it could be anyone from John Mayer to R. Kelly. The music has nothing against you. It just wants to be heard."

Justin Bieber's Signature Haircut Costs $750
Justin Bieber may have the perfect haircut, but that perfection comes with a hefty price tag.
According to Life & Style magazine, the Bieb's 'do costs upward of $750 per haircut. Vanessa Price is the hairstylist who created the teen crooner's signature look in 2009, and she makes housecalls to Bieber to touch up her work.
"I usually cut his hair every couple of weeks when he's on tour," Price said.
If that's the case, the singer dishes out more than $1,500 a month on his hair.
Price, Bieber and, well, the world, had no idea the haircut would become so popular.
"We both were shocked people cared that much about someone's hair," she said.
Not since Jennifer Aniston's classic haircut, known as "The Rachel," took over salons around the world in the '90s has a haircut garnered such attention.
Aniston recently revealed that she thought "The Rachel" was the "ugliest haircut" she'd ever seen.
We can only wonder what Bieber will say about his look in 20 years. But for now, the style suits him.

Justin Bieber Joins PETA Campaign for Animal Adoption
Justin Bieber is on board with PETA's campaign to adopt pets rather than purchase them.
According to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, roughly 8 million dogs and cats enter animal shelters every year in the United States.
"It's really important that people adopt," Bieber says. "I really encourage going out to an animal shelter or a place where you can get a dog who has been abandoned or doesn't have a home."
The Biebs filmed a PSA for PETA as well, sharing his story of adopting his dog, Sam. "We moved to a city where I didn't really know anybody, so I kinda wanted a friend around."

Justin Bieber Returns to 'CSI' in February
Beliebers and unsuspecting 'CSI' fans alike, get ready for Justin Bieber's triumphant return to primetime!
TV Line reports that the pint-sized pop star is set to reprise his role as Jason, a troubled teen whose brother was eventually killed by the CSIs. Smart move, CBS. This stunt casting is just in time (or should I say, Justin time) for February sweeps!
This news comes shortly after rumors that 'Glee' plans to do a Biebs-themed episode in February as well. Unfortunately, Gossip Cop reported, this isn't quite the case. wasn't quite true. Creator Ryan Murphy does confirm, however, that an episode of 'Glee' will feature a Bieber track, and in Sam, played by Chord Overstreet, will fashion his hair into a Bieber swoop in an effort to win back Quinn, played by Dianna Argon.
