In June, Bieber revealed he was collaborating with Marky Mark on a basketball movie. Wahlberg will play a veteran baller who takes the up and coming Bieber under his wing. They hope to begin production for the movie this summer.

“It certainly [has to be] something that’s good enough to go and have green-lit and make right away, but I think it will be well worth the wait,” Bieber said.

No stranger to box office success with sports movies, Whalberg won an Academy Award for “The Fighter,” in which Whalberg both starred in and produced. This will be Bieber’s first motion picture despite the successful “Never Say Never”concert film.

Pitt is starring in an upcoming biopic film about baseball player and manager Billy Beane called Moneyball. The movie, which is out in September details how the Oakland A’s’ front office took advantage of more empirical gauges of player performance to field a team that could compete successfully against richer competitors in the MLB. Despite his newest movie role, Pitt admits he knows nothing about baseball, “I knew very little about baseball apart from taking one in the face in junior high,” (which resulted in 18 stiches).

While Pitt will not be at the game, Jordin Sparks and Michelle Branch will sing the National Anthem and “God Bless America” before the game!

The two exchanged heated tweets back and forth, but it isn’t the 140 characters that has everyone talking… but the reason behind the fight. At the NBA All-Star game, Rihanna snubbed Ciara after the Goodies singer tried to get into the VIP section of LeBron James and Jay Z’s Two Kings Party. Ciara has been linked to LeBron in the past, and Rihanna called out the singer for being disrespectul while LeBron’s fiance and former jersey chaser of the month Savannah Brinson was there. Savannah and LeBron are high school sweet hearts and have two sons together. In the past LeBron has been accused of being unfaithful, but not if Rihanna has anything to say about it!

Jennifer Hudson was hired in place of Rihanna, but Trump is not letting the no-show off the hook, “For Rihanna to go to the All-Star game and perform after she told us she was sick, that is just a lack of respect,” Trump told the Palm Beach Post.

Sound like to me Trump wants to tell Rihanna, “You’re Fired!”

The 16-year old heartthrob beat out other celebrities including Common, Romeo and Rob Kardashian. Bieber had eight points, four assists and two rebounds for the West team. Despite Bieber’s MVP caliber performance, the West lost to the East 54-49.

Looks like the NBA can’t even avoid Bieber Fever!

Lidstrom is the Detroit Red Wings captain and oldest player named to the All-Star roster, while Staal is only 26 he is captain of the Carolina Hurricanes who will host the All-Star game on Sunday January 30.

The All-Star teams will be named Team Staal and Team Lidstrom. The captains will select their players in a fantasy-like draft the Friday before the game.

Interestingly, neither Lidstrom or Staal were voted as starters for the game.

“It’s simple: if you hate LeBron James as much as we do, fill out the all-star ballot on NBA.com, and pick anyone but LeBron to start at forward for the Eastern Conference. Remember, there’s no limit on voting: the more votes other players get, the better chance we’ll keep his ego in check, and Keep LeBron Out.”

The 2011 All-Star game is scheduled for Febuary 20, 2011 at the LA Staples Center. Fans vote for the starting five players for each conference, and if KeepLeBronout.com has anything to say about it, LeBron will not be one of them.
