Justin Bieber 'My World 2.0' makes gains in album sales following MTV VMAs

Justin Bieber's "My World 2.0" album has been hanging in the top ten of the Billboard 200 chart all summer. With the success of his first headlining tour and his numerous appearances on a variety of awards shows, Justin has enjoyed a steady stream of impressive album sales over the past several weeks.
This week was no different as Justin saw an increase of 14% in the sales of his "My World 2.0" album. Selling 35,000 copies this week, the teen pop star is able to snag the No. 8 spot once again. Justin comes in just behind Interpol and Stone Sour.
This modest increase in sales can be explained in part by the recent exposure Justin received for his MTV VMA win for Best New Artist. The Canadian singer not only accepted his Moonman trophy on Sunday night, he also gave an exciting performance to thousands of screaming fans.


Justin Bieber Joins Ranks Of Pop Stars With 'CSI' Cameos

Justin Bieber is making his "CSI" debut on Thursday night (September 23), and while it remains to be seen whether the teen idol can pull out an Emmy-worthy performance, his appearance on the show continues the series' tradition of casting marquee names for guest spots.
Taylor Swift got to live out her dream in March 2009, when she played Haley, a girl found dead outside of a motel. While Swift didn't have very many lines, the pop singer did display some chops onscreen and got to indulge her morbid acting fantasies.


"I've always joked around with my record label and my mom and everybody — all my friends know that my dream is to die on 'CSI,' " she said last year. "I've always wanted to be one of the characters on there that they're trying to figure out what happened to."
But not everyone plays the victim. When Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz made a cameo on the show in March 2009, they hit up the East Coast version of the show on "CSI: NY." The Wentzes went dark for their parts as Chester Byron and Lila Wickfield, playing a young couple entangled in the world of drug-dealing.
"It's easy to play passionate roles with the person you love," Wentz said about hooking up with his wife onscreen. "There's nothing weird about it when you love the person."
