Justin Bieber Donates To Tennessee Flood Relief


Last week, Justin Bieber joined Usher for the New Look Foundation's World Leadership Awards, and on Wednesday, the singer donated $1.06 of each ticket from his sold-out concert at Nashville, Tennessee's Bridgestone Arena to Nashville-area flood-recovery efforts. The pop star presented a $32,690 check to the nonprofit organization Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee. Bieber also took part in helping out because of Nashville's role in music history. "I'm really glad to be here and to help out something that's really important to me. Music has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and you know Nashville, there's so much music history here," he said. In other Bieber news, the 3-D Justin Bieber movie is back on track, after director, Davis Guggenheim, dropped out. Paramount Pictures has hired "Step Up 3D" director Jon Chu to steer the biopic/ concert film to the big screen, according to a press release. Also new to the team are producers Dan Cutforth and Jane Lipsitz, the duo behind "Project Runway," "Top Chef" and "Project Greenlight." Bieber manager Scooter Braun and Island Def Jam chairman L.A. Reid were previously confirmed as producers as well.
