LAS VEGAS ? In the past few years, the International Consumer Electronics Show has slowly morphed from an annual pilgrimage for tech geeks into a star-studded event where celebs lend their rallying cries to a variety of new products and services. One quick stroll around the Las Vegas Convention Center, home of CES, or any of its many offsite events, and you’ll quickly find yourselves rubbing shoulders with the likes of Justin Bieber, Justin Timberlake, Will Smith, 50 Cent, Kelly Clarkson and even “Jersey Shore” stars Snooki and Pauly D.
Biebs was on hand to introduce the mRobo Ultra Bass, a Transformer-like portable MP3 player and speaker that turns into a dancing robot as the music plays, while “Social Network” star Justin Timberlake took the stage at a Panasonic Event and discussed plans for MySpace TV.
Will Smith and Kelly Clarkson surprised the crowd at a Sony press conference with Smith promoting the forthcoming release of “Men in Black 3″ and Clarkson closing the event by performing her hit “Mr. Know It All.”
Snooki and Pauly D brought a little Seaside swagger to the convention. Snooks helped promote a series of audio products at iHip’s booth, telling MTV News, ” I am very excited for my new partnership with iHip and to get started on creating my very own headphone line.”
Pauly D announced plans to hook up with SMS Audio and its CEO, rapper 50 Cent, to design a new headphone line. “Having my own headphones has always been a dream of mine, and now that dream is a reality,” Pauly told MTV News, while 50 Cent added via a press release, “Pauly D has a true passion for music and I know he’ll put that same energy into helping us develop and promote a quality headphone line.”
Before you run off and book your ticket to Vegas for CES 2013, it’s worth noting that the show is closed to the general public, and unless you are Justin Bieber, no one under the age of 18 is allowed in.
Enjoying a relaxing day together, Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban and their adorable daughters were spotted leaving the local family destination Romp in Hollywood, CA on Sunday (February 5).
The ?Australia? actress toted 13-month-old daughter Faith Margaret while her ?Without You? hubby tended to 3-year-old Sunday Rose.
After attending a kiddie birthday party at the indoor/outdoor play space, the little ones looked to be ready for a snooze as the family of four hopped in their vehicle and sped away.
The outing comes as Nicole has been busy putting the finishing touches on a new movie titled ?The Paperboy,? as the Zac Efron co-starring caper will hit theaters later this year.
With Justin Bieber in full-on album recording mode, his longtime manager, Scooter Braun, has heard just what the teen star is up to and wants everyone to know that Believe is a game-changer for the singer.
“Wow!! In the studio with @justinbieber and #Believe is going to be ridiculous!!!” he tweeted about the 17-year-old’s 2012 release. Braun’s message came the same day that Bieber announced that he’s officially working on the project.
“Start recording full time for #BELIEVE today. let the fun begin! #newMusic,” he tweeted on Tuesday, hours later adding, “#studio.”
But it seems that he’ll take a break to hit up the Consumer Electronics Show, which is currently under way in Las Vegas. “Gonna see what is coming next. #gadgetNERD,” he proclaimed.
While Bieber has said that he wants his next release to recall Justin Timberlake’s Future Sex/Love Sounds sonically, in a recent interview with V magazine, he noted that what he’ll be singing is a bit more PG than the topics Timberlake covered on that album.
“I’m not going to try to conform to what people want me to be or go out there and start partying, have people see me with alcohol. I want to do it at my own pace,” Bieber says in the issue. “I don’t want to start singing about things like sex, drugs and swearing. I’m into love, and maybe I’ll get more into making love when I’m older. But I want to be someone who is respected by everybody.”
Bieber may not want to get too graphic on this album, but vocal producer Kuk Harrell did note to MTV News that he will be maturing on it in his own way.
“The only conversation we’ve had about Justin’s album that we’re about to do is it’s really important that it’s the proper transition because we’ve seen him [with] ‘Baby,’ now we’re watching him grow up,” said Harrell, who also worked with the singer on Under the Mistletoe. “And we can’t just throw him into the adult game right away. It has to be the proper transition. There’s a record in between.”

The New York Giants needed a big play late in the Super Bowl and Eli Manning delivered, lofting a pass to Mario Manningham that sent them on their way to a winning drive.
Somehow managing to keep two feet in bounds while making a fingertip catch in double coverage, Manningham defied comprehension – and stunned the Patriots.
New York went on to win 21-17 and Manning claimed his second Super Bowl MVP award thanks to Manningham, who made the biggest play of the Giants’ season.
Watch below: Was his Super Bowl catch the best ever?
One guy who may give Manningham a run for his money: David Tyree. Four years ago, HE made a key reception of a Manning pass that helped lead the Giants to victory.
Also trailing late in the fourth quarter against the Patriots, Eli’s escape and Tyree’s catch off of his own helmet have already gone down in Super Bowl history.

While the Stephanie Plum based motion picture hit theaters in the States a week and a half ago, it’s scheduled to make its German debut on April 19th.
Meanwhile, Katherine continues to land roles with ease – as it was just reported that she’s set to star in and co-produce “an independent thriller about a psychologist struck with a rare affliction that makes it impossible to distinguish people by their faces” aptly titled “Face Blind”.
With Maven Pictures? partners Trudie Styler and Celine Rattray also taking on producer roles, the film is scripted by Dominic Harari and Teresa De Pelegri.

It’s official, isn’t it, America? The day of the funny, original Super Bowl commercial is over.
While tonight’s Giants versus Patriots game featured serious fourth quarter drama, the breaks in between the action produced… more lame naked girl teases from GoDaddy? More Polar Bears from Coca Cola? More of that E TRADE baby?
Did any spot really make you laugh? Will any stand out 24 hours from now? Yeah. We didn’t think so, either.
Review a number of the Super Bowl XLVI commercials below and prepare yourselves already for Super Bowl XLVII – by lowering your expectations.

During the 13 minutes Madonna took over Super Bowl XLVI for her highly anticipated halftime show, there were plenty of surprise cameos, high-tech stage lights and, of course, some of the biggest classics in pop music.
But even though the Queen of Pop’s glitzy show Sunday night (February 5) appeared to run smoothly, the over-the-top theatrics might have shadowed some of the fumbles. Take a look at the list of onstage slip-ups MTV News caught during the pop performer’s set.
Madonna’s Almost Fall(s) It was only a few minutes into the show, but Madonna lost her balance and almost fell as she jumped around the flashing bleachers with her dancers during her performance of “Music.” She also teetered a few minutes later while getting up after getting down with LMFAO. Fortunately, the singer found her ground and demonstrated how a professional handles a little performance slipup, continuing without missing a beat.
M.I.A.’s Finger Flash Madonna wouldn’t be Madonna without even a little controversy, but this time, it wasn’t even her fault. During the performance of the pop titan’s new single, “Give Me All Your Luvin,” M.I.A. and Nicki Minaj appeared as sideline cheerleaders to spit their rap contribution to the pop gem. Known for her rebellious attitude, M.I.A. flashed her middle finger for a split second that has already fueled headlines all over the Internet.
Backing Track While Madge is getting lots of love from celebrities, there are many who are criticizing the Queen of Pop for what appears to be a mostly backing-track performance. However, lip-synching isn’t unfamiliar territory for the Super Bowl. Back in 2009, the championship game’s producer Ricky Minor told the Associated Press that he requested Jennifer Hudson lip-synch her rendition of the national anthem to limit the chances of possible mistakes.
Did you catch any other fumbles during Madge’s performance? Tell us below!
