SAY HELLO TO THE NEW JUSTIN BIEBER...
Justin Bieber better watch out - there's a new YouTube sensation vying for his pop crown in the form of a fellow Canadian, ten-year-old Heather Russell.
Heather, who's already been compared to Mariah Carey, is causing ripples across the web after her soulful rendition of Every Step of the Way went viral. The YouTube video of her performance was posted online last July and has since racked up almost 100,000 views. In the video, she's accompanied by dad James on guitar. Her skills have already grabbed the attention of Grammy-winning producer Rob Fusari, the man responsible for mentoring a certain Lady Gaga (comment by one viewer: 'She's way better than Lady Gaga'), and rumour has it a debut album could be on its way. 'At five years old she had a vibrato; at eight years old Heather wrote her first song on the piano called Beautiful,' Fusari says on his website. 'At nine, Ashton Kutcher tweeted about her to Demi Moore [and] Ellen DeGeneres wants her on the show.' In 2007, Baby warbler Bieber was discovered on YouTube by his current manager after his mum posted videos of him singing pop tunes. A record deal followed soon after, before true success arrived just this week in the form of James Corden's aforementioned Brit awards 'man crush'. You have it all to look forward to, Heather.
UPDATE: Heather has reportedly been signed by X Factor supremo Simon Cowell.

DUBLIN CRIME FLICK WITH DAMIEN DEMPSEY CRACKING HEADS....HARDCORE!
Mark O’Connor’s pop-capping Dublin crime flick, Between The Canals, is out on March 18 at the IFI in Temple Bar, and stars a deranged Damien Dempsey in his acting debut as the head-butting loon, Dotsy.
New Irish film Goes on release March 18th in the Irish Film Institute, Temple Bar, Dublin, Ireland. 'Between The Canals follows three small time criminals from Dublin's North Inner City as they each aspire to be somebody in a fast changing society: Liam (Hyland) a small time dealer who wants to quit his life of crime to become an electrician and provide for his girlfriend and son; Dots (Coonan), a crazy, irresponsible thug with ambitions to become a big time dealer and Scratchcard (Jones), a drug user with no ambitions but to stay on social welfare and watch the world go by. Liam is torn between life in the flats and his responsibility to be a good father to his son. He has to just get through this one day and maybe things will look brighter on the other side. But it's Saint Patrick's Day and, in Dublin City, this means trouble everywhere. A heartbreaking and occasionally hilarious story of loyalty, duty and masculinity'.
Starring Liam Hyland, Peter Coonan, Stephen Jones & Damien Dempsey. Written and Directed by Mark O'Connor

GAGA NO CLOTHES SHOCKER & 10-YR OLD THAT MADE GAGA CRY
The sight of the singer wearing next to nothing isn't particularly unusual, given her penchant for controversial outfits. Last week she appeared on Good Morning America wearing a 'condom-inspired' outfit, having previously arrived at the Grammy Awards in an egg. But it was still slightly surprising to see Gaga casually strolling along New York's Lower East Side in the middle of the day wearing some skimpy black underwear teamed with fishnet tights, black platforms and a black leather jacket.
The eye-catching outfit brought traffic to a standstill as crowds gathered to catch a glimpse of the Born This Way singer, who was out filming a documentary for a HBO special documenting her Madison Square Garden performances this week. On Monday the clearly rather happy singer tweeted: 'What a dream come true! Filming my HBO special of the Monsterball today, and just finished editing Born This Way video! Announcement Soon! X' Lady Gaga evidently enjoyed the show, as she said after leaving the concert: 'Just pulled out of MSG, tears streaming down my face. 'Turned radio on + Born This Way was roaring. Believe, + catch your subway to destiny.' It wasn't the first time this week the singer had been moved to tears – Lady Gaga invited a ten-year-old fan to duet with her on stage, saying she 'couldn't stop crying' after hearing the girl's cover of Born This Way.
After Maria's rendition of the Madonna-sounding tune went viral (current YouTube view count: 9million+), a Toronto radio station invited her in for an interview and then got Gaga on the phone. 'Can’t stop crying watching this. This is why I make music. She is the future,' the Grammy-winning performance artist had tweeted of the Winnipeg native's skills. Talking to her on the phone, the 24-year-old told Maria she'd been having a 'bad day' until she witnessed her version of Born This Way and became 'overjoyed'. 'You have such a beautiful voice and you are so joyful to watch,' she told her. She then invited the overwhelmed fan to duet with her when she performs at a concert in Toronto next month. Last summer, Gaga pulled a similar stunt when she got in touch with 12-year-old Greyson Chance, another YouTube tribute-maker whose Paparazzi cover bagged him a spot on Ellen DeGeneres' chat show.

DARTH BIEBER??
James Earl Jones (voice behind Darth Vader) might come to regret being convinced to speak the words of Bieber's track 'Baby' let's just say the internet is having fun...
BRUCE LEE LOST INTERVIEW: BE LIKE WATER MY FRIEND...
The Canadian author and journalist, Pierre Berton hosted his own talk show in the 60s and early 70s. Among his many iconic guests were Malcolm X (1965), Lenny Bruce (1966), and Bruce Lee. This is the only in-depth interview Lee ever took part in. It was filmed at the end of 1971, 20 months before his death, subsequently lost, then rediscovered in 1994, when it was aired as a TV special. Sure, it’s 25 minutes long. But if you’re any class of a Lee fan, that’s a good thing.
WTF? DUDE TATTOOS SKULL ON HIS FACE....WHY?
A tattoo fanatic has taken his penchant for ink one step further by having his entire face covered in a skull design. 'Mad Dog' Deon, 27, loves his new tat, however, his girlfriend Catherine was less than impressed with her other half's new look. He showed off the artwork, which is his 37th tattoo, during an appearance on the Jeremy Kyle Show, in an episode titled How Could My Boyfriend Destroy His Own Face?, reports The Sun. Catherine told Jezza that she thought Deon was joking when he first suggested the extreme tattoo and the talk show host admitted that he too was puzzled why anyone would want to do such a thing. 'I'm slightly struggling as to why anyone would have a skull tattooed on their face,' Kyle said. However, Mad Dog was unrepentant, saying: 'I don't care what I look like. I am who I am, if people don't like me for who I am, they can do one. 'What's wrong with it? I'm still the same person inside.'Luckily, Catherine won't have to put up with the gruesome tattoo for much longer, as Deon failed a lie detector test when asked if he had slept with someone else and she promptly ditched him. New Zealand-born Lucky Diamond Rich holds the World Record for the most tattoos and is 100 per cent covered in black ink, including his eyelids and in between his toes.
NEW ZEALAND EARTHQUAKE: DRAMATIC BEFORE & AFTER PIX
A 7.0-magnitude earthquake has struck off New Zealand's South Island, the US Geological Survey has said. The epicentre was 55km (35 miles) north-west of Christchurch, at a depth of 12 km (7.5 miles), it added. Police said there had been widespread damage to buildings and roads as well as power cuts. Two men were seriously injured by falling masonry and glass. A state of emergency was later declared in Christchurch, New Zealand's second largest city with a 386,000 population. New Zealand lies at the southern end of the so-called Pacific Ring of Fire, and above an area of the Earth's crust where the Pacific Plate converges with the Indo-Australian Plate. Radio New Zealand reported that the quake was felt as a long, rolling motion lasting up to 40 seconds, and that the area was continuing to feel aftershocks. The USGS said one aftershock had a magnitude of 5.7.
Eyewitness Philip Duncan, a journalist, was on the seventh floor of a hotel in Christchurch when the quake struck. It hit with a bang. Being a New Zealander, it's not unusual to feel an earthquake, but it gradually built up and got bigger and bigger and scarier and scarier. For a short while I really thought the building I was in was about to come down.
The local newspaper, The Press, said it was felt widely across the South Island, including Christchurch and the nearby port city of Timaru. Police said damage and power outages had been reported as far afield as Dunedin, 360km (223miles) to the south-west. Christchurch Mayor Bob Parker said the "sharp, vicious earthquake" had caused significant damage in parts of the city. Chimneys and walls had fallen from older buildings, with roads blocked, traffic lights out and power, gas and water supplies disrupted, he added. "There is considerable damage in the central city and we've also had reports of looting, just shop windows broken and easy picking of displays," police inspector Mike Coleman told Radio New Zealand. "It's very unsafe to be out and about." Christchurch International Airport was closed after the earthquake as a precaution, as experts checked the runways and terminal buildings, a spokesman said.
DON'T LET A BIG WORRY COME ALONG TO MAKE YOU REALIZE YOUR SMALL WORRIES DON'T MATTER...
There is an old Yiddish blessing that ironically wishes, “May you have many worries.”
At first glance, it seems more like a curse than a blessing. Why would you wish someone you care about many worries?
The answer lies in the heart of my mother’s experience: If we have many troubles swirling about us—and we choose to entertain those worries—that means that we do not have a single, overriding worry to consume us.
And the absence of that single, oppressive worry is a blessing in itself.
There is a great source of empowerment in this understanding: If large troubles displace small worries and with a single powerful stroke, suddenly wiping our slate of worries clean, then we ourselves can choose to wipe that slate clean at any moment.
This little bit of folksy wisdom is, in fact, a very deep instruction:
Don’t wait for a big trouble to come along to make you realize that your small troubles don’t matter.

LADY GAGA V'S MADONNA: CELEBRITY FACE OFF
Lady Gaga's new single Born This Way has been slammed by fans for 'ripping-off' Madonna's hit Express Yourself. But which of these two queen divas will win our Celebrity Face Off?
Controversy
Madonna's video for her 1989 single Like A Prayer outraged religious groups because it featured burning crosses. Likewise, she created huge public backlash for positng on a the 52-year-old's promo to Like A Virgin saw her writhing on the floor in a wedding dress. For GaGa, 24, it was the lesbian kissing in the video for Telephone - her single with Beyoncé - which has caused the most controversy in her career so far. That and the infamous meat dress, openly talking about her sex life and pleading with fans to use condoms: 'You put that condom in your purse and save your own f***ing life.' Charming.
Face Off Winner round one: Madge - she started the trend of creating a buzz and it's a trend Lady Gaga follows religiously.
Fashion
Material Girl Madonna conquered the world in the Eighties with her brash style and conical bra. Her knack for constantly reinventing her look has also made her a fashion icon. In her 1990 tour, Madonna's leotard costume with the iconic bra put her on the fashion map. Gaga is clearly a fan of Madonna's fashion - as well as her music - as she sported a similar get-up while touring and even tried out Madonna's bleach blonde hairstyle. From giant button and bow piece hairdos to transparent plastic dresses and covering herself in duct tape, GaGa also has her own wacky and outlandish fashion sense, and has modelled a range of outrageous looks that culminated in a hard-to-beat dress made of meat last year.
Face Off Winner round two: GaGa, nobody else can pull off a meat dress like she can.
Music
In just two years, the electro-pop princess GaGa seemed to have covered eight or nine years worth of re-inventions by her idol Madonna. Like Madonna, Lady GaGa writes her own material and possesses a unique sense of flare. While GaGa’s first album The Fame sold around 13 million copies, Madonna’s breakthrough Like a Virgin album sold more than 21 million. Then again, Madonna banked her first No1 with her second set, Like a Virgin, whereas GaGa banked her first number one with her first single Just Dance, and her second consecutive number one single Poker Face was crowned the best-selling single of 2009. GaGa’s songs are just as memorable and they saturate the airwaves in exactly the same way as Madonna’s, and songs by both icons were recently featured in episodes of high school drama Glee. GaGa's eagerly-awaited new single, Born This Way, which is out today has also been likened to a reworking of Madonna’s own song, Express Yourself. It screams a lot of Madonna, so it's hard to know if GaGa is trying to establish a new identity as the, er, new Madonna. Madge still hasn't stopped in her tracks though and she definitely isn't a one trick pony – this weekend she's rumoured to be travelling to Berlin for the screening of her new film, W.E.
Face Off Winner round three: Even though Madge doesn’t seem to want to give up her legacy or pass it on to her minion GaGa, GaGa looks like she'll blow up even bigger than she already is in the near future, so she's our round three and overall Face Off winner, but we're glad that Madge is still doing her thing.
I matched the speed and pitch of Express Yourself with Born This Way the result is...interesting. Does it prove that Born This Way is a Ripoff? You decide.

HAVE-A-GO-HEROINE IS A REAL SUPERGRAN...
A retired market trader who fought off a gang of armed robbers in England after beating them with her handbag has said she knew she could have been in danger but would “do the same again”. Ann Timson, of Spring Boroughs, Northampton, was caught on video running across a road towards the six-strong mob as they smashed the windows of a jeweller’s in Northampton. The raiders, who had arrived at the scene on three scooters, drove away after the red-coated pensioner began lashing out at them with a large black handbag. One fell off his scooter and was detained by members of the public. Ms Timson, who is in her 70s, said she had been shopping in town when she bumped into a friend on Gold Street and stopped to have a chat when she heard a commotion. “I became aware of a loud revving noise at the top of the street. I looked over and saw a kid run up to the doorway of the jeweller which is on the corner of Bridge Street,” she said inn a statement issued through the police. “Three lads followed him and when I saw their arms going I thought the kid was being beaten up. “My mother’s instinct kicked in and I ran across the road shouting at the lads to stop it. Only then did I realise that they were smashing glass and that it was a raid.” Ms Timson, who is now retired, said she saw someone on a scooter in her way revving the bike’s engine but by then “was in full flight and I started whacking the lads over the head with my shopping bag”. The footage of the robbery, broadcast by ITV’s Anglia Tonight, also showed other members of the public pinning down the man who had fallen from one of the scooters just yards away from the shop. No one was injured during the incident.

HO.LEE.SHE.ITE LOOK WHAT THIS CHICK DID TO THIS GUY...HELL HATH NO FURY...
THANKS TO BROADSHEET.IE FOR THE FOLLOWING STORY (AND FOR DOING MOST OF MY NET-SEARCHING WORK FOR ME ON A DAILY BASIS..GO BROADSHEET!)Currently doing the rounds of the blogniverse is the salutory tale of young Jack Weppler: an aspiring actor who recently broke up with his girlfriend.
She didn’t take it at all well.
In fact, she visited a spectacular online bunny boiler on him, spamming macro’ed images of his headshot to the point where a typical Google search for Weppler revealed the results you see above.
In a message since removed from the Google Helpmaster Forum, Weppler’s distraught mother complained;
My minor son’s ex-girlfriend took a copyrighted picture of him (we own copyright) and uploaded it more than 60 times to a website. On each image she wrote slanderous, defamatory and pornographic captions. The webmaster of the site states he removed the images 6 weeks ago, but Google Search still shows all the images. My son is so stressed out and embarrassed and we’ve done everything we can to get images off of Google including URL removal tool, a letter to Google Legal with all the URLs because of copyright infringement, and nothing has worked!
The cache is still stubbornly in place. Even now, Wepplers’s Google search results still look like this.
So. No chance of you kids patching things up before Valentine’s, then?
SERIOUSLY LIKE THIS CAN'T BE FOR REAL CAN IT??
Sporthocking is the practice of lepping around with a big plastic bobbin and then sitting down on it. It looks just as cool as it sounds but probably won’t be featuring in the next X-Games.

XTINA AGUILERA SCREWS UP SUPERBOWL HALF-TIME ANTHEM SLOT
Aguilera had the plum spot of singing the Star Spangled Banner before the kick-off of the Super Bowl and quickly drew ire for the cardinal sin (to many Americans) of getting the words wrong.
Rather than singing “O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming,” Aguilera instead mashed it up with an earlier line so that it came out as: “What so proudly we watched at the twilight’s last reaming.”
Meanwhile, during the ad break, came this ad for Groupon, an online voucher company, poking fun at Tibet:

FIREFOX HAS ENCOUNTERED AN UNEXPECTED PROBLEM WITH WINDOWS & TECH SUPPORT LETTER
Dear Tech Support,
Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend to Husband and noticed a distinct slowdown in overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewellery applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend.
In addition, Husband uninstalled many other valuable programmes, such as Romance and Personal Attention and then installed undesirable programs such as Rugby, Football, Sailing and Continuous TV. Conversation no longer runs, and Housecleaning simply crashes the system. I've tried running Nagging to fix these problems, but to no avail.
What can I do?
Signed, Desperate
..................................................................................................
Dear Desperate,
First keep in mind, Boyfriend is an Entertainment Package, while Husband is an Operating System. Please enter the command: 'http: I Thought You Loved Me.html' and try to download Tears.
Don't forget to install the Guilt update. If that application works as designed, Husband should then automatically run the applications Jewellery and Flowers, but remember - overuse of the above application can cause Husband to default to Grumpy Silence, Garden Shed or Beer. Beer is a very bad program that will download the Snoring Loudly Beta.
Whatever you do, DO NOT install Mother-in-law (it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources). Also, do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend program. These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband.
In summary, Husband is a great system, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. It also tends to work better running one task at a time. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend Food and Hot Lingerie.
Good Luck, Tech Support
