Justin Bieber Picks Fresh ‘Peaches’ With Classroom Instruments on ‘Tonight Show’
Justin Bieber joined The Roots and Jimmy Fallon in the Tonight Show classroom on Monday night (Apr. 26) for a revamped run through his single “Peaches.” Posted up at a toy piano, Bieber plunked out the song’s longing melody as he opened the performance solo, dressed down in a grey sweatshirt and black knit cap. As the camera panned out, JB took center square in the colorful Brady Bunch-like arrangement with the Roots and Fallon all arond him, banging on plastic buckets and cowbells and shaking a variety of percussion instruments. Ever the gentleman, Justin even stood down for Fallon to take over the second verse, letting him sing lead as the show’s host jiggled a plastic peach shaker and harmonized with drummer Questlove.

Robin Thicke was close, suggesting former New Edition member and solo star Johnny Gill or perhaps “Ghostbusters” singer Ray Parker Jr., while Jenny McCarthy thought it might be Public Enemy rapper Flavor Flav and Nicole Scherzinger ended up being wayyy off base with her suggestion that it was either Kanye West or Keith Sweat.

The night’s other eliminated singer was Sister, Sister star Tamera Mowry. Billboard spoke to Brown before his elimination to find out what happened the night he had to run offstage and why he’s psyched that his kids are now going to learn that titanic drum break ...

Morrissey’s Manager Slams ‘The Simpsons’ For ‘Harshly Hateful’ Parody of the Singer
Tim Long, who wrote the episode, told Stereogum ahead of Sunday that Quilloughby is “definitely Morrissey-esque, with maybe a small dash of Robert Smith from The Cure, Ian Curtis from Joy Division, and a bunch of other people.” But Katsis wasn’t quite thrilled to have his client be the character’s inspiration. “Poking fun at subjects is one thing. Other shows like SNL still do a great job at finding ways to inspire great satire,” he wrote in a lengthy critique on Facebook. “But when a show stoops so low to use harshly hateful tactics like showing the Morrissey character with his belly hanging out of his shirt (when he has never looked like that at any point in his career) makes you wonder who the real hurtful, racist group is here.&n...

You’re not new to TV, having hosted and participated on competition shows before, but how did it feel to be on a show where people didn’t know that it was you? It was terrifying to me, because it’s a singing competition. That’s the irony of my whole involvement, because I make my livi...
