We were once again reminded yesterday that pop culture doesn’t matter compared to real life, an important preface to keep in mind when it comes to TV news that makes you want to throw your computer out the window.
ABC is once again developing a sitcom that would be based on pop superstar Justin Bieber’s life. The single-camera comedy was first set up at the network last year, but it’s been revived and is still under consideration for next season.
Bieber would executive produce the show with his manager, Scooter Braun. Also on board are executive producers Matt Wolpert and Ben Nedivi, who are writing the script. The untitled family show would center on Bieber’s background before he got famous. The comedy is about a future pop star’s awkward teenage years and his unorthodox family. (Via)
Take a guess which show Wolpert and Nedivi are credited with writing? Yup: Entourage, so expect The Untitled Swaggy Bro Project to be the Muppet Babies to Turtle & Co.’s The Muppet Show, with cocaine replaced by Fun Dip and boobs by not boobs. Because these are the people who deserve a show to call their own:




If this is what we have to look forward to, maybe it wouldn’t be so bad if the world ends next week…
They’re probably going to call the show “Leave it to Beiber”, but I think they should name it “BJ and the Biebs”. I’m assuming the show is going to be centered around Justin and his pet chimp driving around the country in an 18 Wheeler having to sexually satisfy grimy truck drivers in order to make a living.
Is that what he’s famous for?
I remember Corey Feldman vaguely discussing how child stars in the 80s were basically pimped out to rich old men with connections and forced to do unsavory sexual favors in order to secure their place in Hollywood. So I think about Justin Bieber, and I wonder how much fame can he fit in there all at once?
God, what I wouldn’t give for a Justine Bierber (sp? w/e) Muppet.
I refuse to believe there’s a grown person who goes by Scooter Braun.
