Sean Kingston and Justin Bieber were hanging out in Miami yesterday celebrating Sean’s Birthday. The two were rolling in a drop top Rolls Royce when they were swarmed by fans.

TMZ says Bieber was at the wheel, but the car actually belongs to Kingston. As they were driving so “inconspicuously,” fans somehow spotted the two and swarmed the car outside a Friday’s. Bieber had to call the cops for help.

Luckily a plain clothes officer  was nearby and helped control the crowd.

What do these two guys expect? They are rolling in a $300k car with the top down, and they are two major celebrities. Somebody is going to notice!

Dave Chappelle is still not normal, unfortunately. During a gig in Miami last night, Dave bombed his set and started to check his text messages while on stage.

TMZ reports Dave became distracted by fans who were recording him and began conversing with them and refusing to tell jokes.

CNN’s Ronald S. Martin was in the crowd for the show, and shared a play by-play via Twitter. “He’s spent more time going back & forth with one audience member, & pretty much stopped telling jokes … He got texted four times during his show and actually checked them … He’s just staring at the crowd & sighing … He’s been on stage 46 minutes & told one joke.”

Chappelle was performing for Alonzo Mourning’s youth charity. Don’t be surprised if people suddenly start asking for a refund on their donations.

Here’s video from the event. That’s a pretty pissed of crowd.

Sean Kingston and Dan. He gave us girl advice.

Singer Sean Kingston is in critical condition in Miami following a crash into a bridge from his watercraft around 6pm local time.

According to Local10.com and TMZ, Kingston also had a female passenger with him and both were rescued from the water by a good Samaritan.

The Miami Fire Department responded to the scene and both Kingston and the female passenger were transported to the Jackson Memorial Hospital.

At this moment, officials do not believe alcohol played a role in the crash.

According to a quote from Kingston’s rep, TMZ was told, “Sean Kingston was in an accident today. No further details are available at the moment. He and his family thank everyone for the well-wishes.”

As this story develops, officials are still investigating the cause of the crash.

This promo tour is getting a little out of hand!

Pop sensation Justin Bieber showed up at a press conference for Johnny Depp’s latest film Rango, interrupting the proceedings to chat with the actor. Coincidentally, Depp had just finished talking about how his children were huge fans of the pint-sized star who treated the baby Depps to a performance in Miami last December.

“I’m a Belieber,” Depp laughed as he shook hands with the Biebs. Justin returned the compliment, explaining that he was a “huge fan” and wanted to support the Pirates of the Caribbean star.

Hmm, we’re pretty sure Johnny Depp doesn’t need any extra support, Justin! It probably would have felt more sincere if you didn’t edit in a post-video bumper promoting your new 3D movie…

First an appearance on SNL, then The Daily Show, and now random press conferences? The self-promo is getting a little annoying, Biebs!

If you’re a fan of Lil Wayne, you know that he’s been released from jail.  Now that he’s out of the slammer, though, he must serve three years of probation.

TMZ reports that Weezy landed in Yuma, Arizona to meet with the local probation department and start the three year sentence.

The incident that landed the rapper in prison in the first place occurred in Yuma at a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint, where officers found cocaine, ecstasy and a handgun.  The felony drug charge is what put Weezy behind bars, with the other charges being dropped.

Lil Wayne will serve three years of unsupervised probation and also must complete 360 hours of community service—which will be carried out where he lives in Miami.

Sources say that if Lil Wayne has good behaviour, he might be able to get the felony charge dropped to a misdemeanour, which would be a positive if the rapper feels the need to go on tour with a bus filled with firearms and drugs.

The photographer that Adam Lambert allegedly roughed up in Miami on Thursday has filed a police report that accuses Lambert of misdemeanour battery, reports PerezHilton.com.

According to the report, the singer allegedly took hold of the photographer’s backpack “where the camera was placed” and “wrestled [the photographer] to the ground forcefully.”

Although the report that was filed states that the photographer didn’t receive any “bruises or lacerations,” if Lambert is prosecuted, he faces some pretty hard penalties.  Worst case scenario, he faces a $1,000 fine and up to a year in jail.

Lambert responded to the claims on his Twitter account saying, “Battery? Nope. I attempted to grab a camera, no punches were thrown and no one was on the ground…. It was literally harmless. If embarrassment is a crime- thats all I’m guilty of.”

“American Idol” runner up Adam Lambert was lounging around a Miami Beach Thursday when he suddenly had an altercation with a photog, reports PopEater.

“Eeew paparazzi killed my peaceful afternoon on the beach!” the singer, 28, told his Twitter followers Thursday. “They’re real good at provoking, but there ain’t any pics or video of the bs they spew out.”

Earlier in the day, Lambert was seen giving peace signs while lounging at the beach in his sunglasses and straw hat, but that quickly turned to assaulting the photographer. Pictures on PopEater show the singer slapping, grabbing, and basically mounting the photographer.

“Hahha the photos are hilarious!!! LOL please everyone forgive me for that hat,” he said on Twitter. “I was attempting a disguise — clearly failed.”

MTV is apparently in negotiations with “Jersey Shore’s” The Situation about a possible pay raise.

TMZ reports that the proposed deal will see the network give The Situation a one time bonus of $60,000-$80,000 depending on the ratings of Season 2.

But why would they give him a bonus if he is already signed up for season 2? Great question.

Turns out MTV plans to split up Season 2 — using the second half (Seaside Heights) for Season 3 — and they want Mike to sign on for a possible Season 4.

This also means that The Situation may earn $27,500 – $45,000 an episode for Season 4.

Is it possible The Situation and his rock hard abs are that key to the success of “Jersey Shore?” And we have a feeling that the rest of the “Jersey” cast are going to have a problem with MTV playing favorites. We sense another Jersey brawl coming.

That is right Jersey Shore fans, say so long to your favourite, Snooki.  And while you’re at it, say good-bye to the Situation and Pauly D.

Jersey Shore producers are searching for all new cast members for the third season of the hit TV series, reports DOSE.ca.  This meaning that the heavily-tanned and muscled cast will be out of a job after next season.

However, there is one question.  Why are Snooki and The Shore cast being given the boot?  They are massively popular and draw in tons of viewers for MTV, with their crazy drama.  And the answer is, the money.

Reportedly, the network was unhappy that the cast demanded a massive raise for the second season.  The cast managed to negotiate up to $10 000 US per episode.

But not to worry, there is still one more season with the original Jersey kids.  They are currently filming the second season in Miami, which will premiere July 29.  And in the mean time, director Doron Ofir is casting for several Jersey Shore spinoffs.

The spinoffs include; The Persian Version, Wicked Summer, Chongas and Friggin’ Weddings.  And by the way, this is no joke.  Please prepare yourself.

Don’t judge a book by its cover. Just because Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi is a little girl that doesn’t mean the “Jersey Shore” member is not ready to tussle, as she has demonstrated before.

On Saturday evening, Snooki decided to get in another fight with a male patron at a Miami bar, reports RadarOnline.com. The website features a video of the incident occurring.

The website reports that the newly-single Snooki was out drinking with fellow cast member Jenni “JWOWW” Farley and became upset with a male patron who was attempting to work his charms.

Snooki later started throwing food at the rejected man and his green shirted friend. Eventually both parties started throwing drinks at each other, and the classless stupidity continued.

Watch out Florida – here comes a new breed of orange.

Jersey Shore producers have been eyeing the white sandy beaches of Miami to shoot scenes for the show’s confirmed season two, reports TMZ.

In a letter that TMZ apparently discovered, producers of the MTV hit asked the owner of Mynt Lounge, a hot Miami nightclub, if they could shoot scenes for the upcoming season in March and April.

In the seized letter, producers wrote that they are “currently researching Miami Beach as a possible location,” and that they would need to check out “the hottest clubs” before confirming a spot.

However, no definitive answer has come up yet; Jersey Shore still has its scope set on 9 other cities both in and out of the U.S..

Hawaii? Australia? Fiji? No one is safe.

Jason Derulo gets giddy with excitement when discussing his feeling as artist with a hit debut single like Whatcha Say.

Not because of the fame that tags along with it’s no. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, or 750,000 sold copies, or invitation to join Lady Gaga on her Monster Ball Tour,  but the anticipation, knowing that he hasn’t even tapped into his potential as an artist yet.

“I’m just beginning man,” Derulo tells andPOP from Los Angeles. “It’s definitely an interesting feeling. It’s almost as if I feel like people have no idea of what I can offer as an artist, the impact that I can have.”

The Miami-born’s initiation into the music industry is looking promising thanks to Whatcha Say- a watered-down upbeat version of Imogen Heap’s Hide and Seek- which has been on the chart for nine weeks now since it’s original no. 54 spot on August 29.

With a sense of humor, the 20-year-old jokes about how he should celebrate the single’s climb to the top of the chart. He mentions possibly mimicking Will Ferrell’s character in Old School and going streaking through a quad to the gymnasium “maybe butt naked for a mile,” he says.

But then again in all seriousness, the artist doesn’t feel like celebrating as if a one-hit wonder. He’s aware of all the eyes looking towards his Sophomore single and debut album, and to be honest, he’s eagerly looking towards them too- without hesitation.

“I am so excited,” he says with enthusiasm. His response is so convincing even from three time-zones away.

“The first single was just an appetizer to the main course. That’s the only way I can put it.”

Derulo says he’s had that passion and swagger since he wrote his first song at eight-years-old- as a kid who would admire musical greats like Michael Jackson and Madonna, and always have a knack to pen lyrics.

Eventually at 16, his portfolio would read writing tracks for industry big-hitters like Lil’ Wayne, Pitbull and Birdman- an experience that Derulo describes as “both incredible and nerve-racking.”

“It was a bit intimidating in the beginning,” recalls Derulo, “seeing these guys in person, the guys who you see on TV growing up. But once we started creating and writing the music, it was a blast.”

Chuckles the artist, “and that kind of cred didn’t hurt while picking up the ladies in school.”

But Derulo has realized that his imagination and creativity is unlimited when focusing on his own written work- when he’s not adjusting to the restrictions of another artist’s song.

“When it’s just me, the sky’s the limit,” he says. “I can experiment, try and break barriers, and try and do off-the-wall different things.

“But I remember when I was writing for someone else, you can’t try and do anything different in that situation. I always had to gear it towards that person, and make their voice come out.”

At that point though, what Derulo really wanted was to have his voice come out, and get a chance to display his ability as a solo performer. But the songwriter decided to further polish his raw talent through formal musical schooling at the New York American Musical and Dramatic Academy, where he studied everything from opera and theatre, to ballet and musical genres.

He remembers the long nights memorizing and learning songs at the piano by heart, the perfect standards he had to meet while singing in musical theatre, and also the endurance he learned while working on his dance skills.

But among many hardworking memories, Derulo vividly recalls what he learned about Shakespeare as a writer, and how it helped define himself as a songwriter.

“I remember that in Shakespeare,” says Derulo, “every word is strategically placed to make sure it has a purpose. From that I’ve learned to stay away from having any filler lines in my work.

“All of my formal training helped tremendously.”

As a bona-fide vessel of talent, Derulo’s discovery would come immediately after mega music producer J.R. Rotem (Britney Spears and Sean Kingston) flew him to Los Angeles to -originally- write music. However when Derulo decided to sing to his own lyrics that he created while in the studio, Rotem realized that the kid could write and sing, and decided to rush him into a sound-booth the same day so the two of them could begin working together.

“We recorded six songs in about three hours,” recalls Derulo. “That’s how amazing our energy levels were. We were at the exact same pace.”

Derulo compares the chemistry between him and Rotem to guys like Jackson and Quincy Jones. That connection got Derulo signed to Beluga Heights and Warner Bros. Records in 2009, a deal that had Derulo focusing on his debut self-titled album- due out in March 2010.

“J.R. has great Pop sensibility,” says Derulo, who admires Rotem’s ability to view the industry as both a musician and a fan.

“As musicians we tend to get caught up with our work and our style or craft, but he’s also able to take the point of view as a fan, and hear the song from that perspective.”

According to the artist, the best part of the deal is the leniency he was given to write all of his songs. While some musicians would cringe at the thought of writing and recording over 300 tracks in eight months, Derulo just humbly laughs at the prospect.

“Difficult?” he asks chuckling. “I had the time of my life. I had my own studio, so it was amazing that I could be inside the entire day for hours working on my craft.

“What more could I ask for. I was able to come in and do what I love every single day. And I put my heart and soul into it.”

Yet the songwriter admits to finding some difficulty,  ironically while trying to narrow down all those prospects to a CD selection. But he overcame the obstacle apparently in confidant fashion, assuring fans that he chose the best set of tracks possible for a record that boasts strong Pop roots.

“As a songwriter,” says Derulo, “you may have certain connections to certain songs for different reasons. But you have to put that aside, you can’t choose a song because it was sentimental to you.

“But I think we chose an amazing selection, and there’s a lot of quality stuff on it that’s going to show my versatility and potential as an artist. I can’t wait.”

Britney Spears is bringing the excitement of the circus everywhere she goes.  The 27-year-old popstar, who is currently on her Circus world tour, is donating $100,000 to the Miami Children’s Hospital’s Big Apple Circus Clown Care program.

Spears also visited with her fans at the hospital.  She made a surprise, 30-minute visit with 40 sick children at the hospital on Saturday before her show at the American Airlines Arena.  According to E! News, Spears posed for photos with the kids and signed autographs.

“She took pictures with the kids and gave them autographed pictures,” says a rep for the hospital. “The kids were so excited to meet Britney, and having her here was a great distraction for them.”  

The Clown Care program provides young patients with treatment (and chuckles) from clowns with medical training.  They visit the young patients on a regular basis, as well as attend special events at the hospital. 

Britney will perform at the St. Pete Times Forum in Tampa tonight, and is set to appear at the Nasseau Coliseum in Uniondale on Wednesday.
