"I love Entenmann's - it's safe!" - Gabriel Iglesias

My family has always been a huge fan of Fluffy Guy comedian, Gabriel Iglesias.  For Christmas, I decided to surprise them with tickets to his comedy show, Gabriel Iglesias Presents Stand-Up Revolution, at Radio City Music Hall.  So, this Saturday we headed to the show, chocolate cake in hand (as everyone knows that’s Gabriel’s favorite cake!), and had the greatest time ever –  the laughs were non-stop!  After the show we waited outside the stage door in hopes of meeting Gabriel and the rest of his comedian friends: Martin Moreno, Shaun Latham, Alfred Robles, Wil Sylvince, and Rick Gutierrez – and that’s just what we did!

You can see my review of the Gabriel Iglesias Presents: Stand-Up Revolution show on TheCelebrityCafe.com.

Justin Bieber has teamed up with songwriting superstar Taylor Swift for his upcoming third album, Believe.

The pop star gave Vodafone Big Top 40 an inside scoop on the album.  “You know, the whole album is just so different, there’s so many different people collaborating,” Justin said. “We worked with Mike Posner for ‘Boyfriend‘ so that turned out well, and then we sued Timbaland and Kanye [West] and Drake and so many different people.”

“I even wrote a song with Taylor Swift,” he added.  “So the whole album ranges differently.”  His mentor Usher is also joining the album with a duet.

Justin said that Believe won’t “stay in a box,” revealing that the record will reflect diverse musical genres.

Believe is expected to hit stores this summer.

Take a listen to Justin’s first single “Boyfriend” off of the album after the jump!
