Pop Fizz: New Furby, BTR Renewed, Google’s Popular Online Celebs
A video overview of the new Furby was posted online, and I’m a little nervous about their intelligence…and impressionable personalities. The disposition of your Furby is shaped by how you interact with it, like a real pet. Unlike a real pet, however, you can feed your Furby from its accompanying iOS app. New Furby has digital eyes and costs around $50. We’ll see how it competes with the similar Fijit toys.
Boy band Big Time Rush are happy to see that Nickelodeon has renewed their show for a fourth season. I could’ve sworn that these guys had aged out of that demo already.
Justin Bieber has issued a call for online audition submissions for aspiring dancers. He’s looking for the special bunch to perform with him on his “Believe” tour.
More in Bieber news, Google has revealed that he and Selena Gomez top the list of Most Popular Online Celebrities. The Biebz is searched 30.4 million times a month, while his lady friend sees about 20 million searches. They outrank Lady Gaga, Barack Obama and Michael Jackson who round out the top 5. That’s right, my friends. Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez and Lady Gaga are more sought out than a president and a king (…of pop, of course).
More in celebrity-power-couple and superlative-lists news, Beyonce and Jay-Z topped Forbes’ “World’s Highest-Paid Celebrity Couples” list. They made a combined $78 million between May 2011 and 2012. Chump change.
