Justin Bieber’s Billboard Awards


Justin is making one lucky lady’s dream come true! Find out who will join him at the 2012 Billboard Awards tonight!
Justin Bieber has to be the sweetest pop star in Hollywood. He has a big night at the Billboard Awards tonight, May 20, and he just extended an invite to someone special — but will Selena Gomez be jealous?
The “Boyfriend” singer, 18, took to YouTube on May 19 to invite two fans, Cady Eimer and her sister Holli, to the awards show! Cady had apparently asked Justin to her prom, but since he can’t make it, he invited the two Virginia teens to the Billboards instead. That’s not a bad trade-off for these two Beliebers!
Check out Justin’s video invite, and tell us HollywoodLifers — is Justin the most fan-friendly celeb in Hollywood?



A Poquoson girl who asked pop star Justin Bieber to her prom didn't get that wish. But Bieber surprised her with a video during the prom and asked her to be his date for the Billboard Music Awards.
Cady Eimer and her sister will be Bieber's guests tonight in Las Vegas. They met him in North Carolina in 2010 during a fan meet-and-greet.
The Billboard Music Awards airs live on ABC Sunday at 8 p.m.

Kristen Wiig's Emotional 'SNL' Goodbye


As previously mentioned, neither NBC nor ‘Saturday Night Live‘ would formally confirm the departures of cast members Andy Samberg or Kristen Wiig, but last night’s Mick Jagger-hosted episode, was all the confirmation you’ll need.

In the last sketch of the night, a very loosely staged graduation piece with Mick Jagger playing himself as the principal of…OK it doesn’t really make sense as a sketch. But as an emotional goodbye to ‘SNL’s MVP Kristen Wiig, it was brilliant.

With the ‘SNL’ cast dressed like graduating students, Jagger specifically called Wiig to the staged to the cheers of the audience. Jagger announced to both Wiig and the audience, “Our music department got together to prepare a little song to say goodbye.” With the backing of Arcade Fire and the Foo Fighters, Jagger launched into a rendition of the Rolling Stones classic “She’s Like a Rainbow.

Wiig took turns dancing with each cast member, often sharing a kiss or a hug, and it was all par for the course until Wiig’s fellow female cast members joined her on stage and you could see the emotions start to flow. By the time Bill Hader joined her on stage, Wiig was openly crying on stage as she buried her head in his shoulder. It was a rare touching moment from Studio 8H.She danced in turn with Jagger, cast members and executive producer Lorne Michaels to the tune of the Rolling Stones classic "She's a Rainbow." Then the ensemble sang another Stones hit, "Ruby Tuesday," with its line, "still I'm gonna miss you."

Wiig appeared to be holding back tears.

Though NBC had made no prior announcement of her departure, it comes as no surprise. She starred in and co-wrote the hit comedy "Bridesmaids," and even before that had notable roles in "Friends With Kids," "Paul," "Adventureland" and "Knocked Up," among other films. She has six more in various stages of development.

Wiig's almost limitless range of characters on "SNL" has included neurotic attention-seeker Penelope; Kat, half of the musical duo Garth and Kat (alongside Fred Armisen); and such real-life notables as Bjork, Kathie Lee Gifford and former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.

Andy Samberg and Jason Sudeikis have also been reported to be leaving "SNL," though Michaels recently said any decision on cast changes will wait until the summer.
