Will Justin Bieber Make a Surprise Appearance on 'Saturday Night Live?'

Those folks in Studio 8H are really outdoing themselves. Last week 'Saturday Night Live' had a "surprise" visit from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, and now there are rumors of a Justin Bieber appearance on this Saturday's show!

Reuters reports that the 16-year-old wunderkind is scheduled to make an impromptu 'SNL' appearance this weekend to promote his new film 'Never Say Never.' The Biebs is no stranger to the legendary sketch comedy show. He was the musical guest in April 2010, performing two songs and appearing in two sketches alongside guest host Tina Fey.

Thursday night, Justin hilariously traded places with 'The Daily Show' host Jon Stewart. In a spoof where the two switched bodies 'Freaky Friday' style, the Biebs took the liberty of tattooing a 'Never Say Never' hash-tag on the political satirist's lower back.

What Is Oprah Winfrey's Big Secret?

Last week, Oprah Winfrey revealed that a revealing revelation would be revealed...Monday!

She told viewers a family secret "shook her to her core" when she first learned of it months ago. She also teased brief footage of a reunion, with someone seen (only from behind) stepping from the shadows onto the stage for an embrace.

But who is it? Someone Oprah never expected to see again? Someone Oprah never knew existed? A child? A sibling? A doppelganger twin sister?!? Oprah called the news a "miracle."

Last year, the TV star did her best to ignore the release of Kitty Kelley's unauthorized biography, which contained allegations unearthed during interviews with relatives. One cousin said Oprah's biological father wasn't Vernon Winfrey, and claimed to know who was -- Kelley left the name unpublished, but did she privately share the info so Oprah could investigate the claim?

The big 'Oprah Winfrey Show' episode airs within hours, but all weekend, fans have been obsessed with The Oprah Family Secret, especially on Twitter ("I say it's that she was secretly placed here on earth by space aliens," said one tweet; "Oh, Sweet Baby Jesus, please don't let it be like in 'The Crying Game.' Please!" wrote TV reporter Bobby Rivers; "She's probably preggies," said one Twitter guesser). Read on for more intriguing, and absurd, possibilities!

Early life

Swift was born on December 13, 1989, the only daughter of Andrea Gardner (née Finlay), a homemaker, and Scott Kingsley Swift, a stockbroker. She was born and raised in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania. Her maternal grandmother, Majorie Finlay, was an opera singer.^[14][15] Swift has a younger brother, Austin.^[16]

When she was in fourth grade, she won a national poetry contest with a three-page poem entitled "Monster In My Closet".^[15][17] When Swift was 10, a computer repairman showed her how to play three chords on a guitar, sparking her interest in learning the instrument. Afterwards, she wrote her first song, "Lucky You".^[18] She began writing songs regularly and used it as an outlet to help her with her pain from not fitting in at school. She was a victim of bullying, and often wrote songs to express her emotions.^[19] Swift also started performing at karaoke contests, festivals, and fairs around her hometown. When she was 12, she devoted an entire summer to writing a 350-page novel, which remains unpublished.^[20] Her first major show was a well-received performance at the Bloomsburg Fair.^[21] Swift attended Hendersonville High School but was subsequently homeschooled for her junior and senior years. In 2008, she earned her high-school diploma.^[22]

Swift's greatest musical influence is Shania Twain.^[23] Her other influences include LeAnn Rimes, Tina Turner, Dolly Parton, and her grandmother. Although her grandmother was a professional opera singer,^[24] Swift's tastes always leaned more toward country music. In her younger years, she developed a love for Patsy Cline and Dolly Parton.^[25] She also credits the Dixie Chicks for demonstrating the impact you can make by "stretching boundaries".^[26]

Music career

2000–05: Musical beginnings

At age 11, Swift made her first trip to Nashville, hoping to obtain a record deal by distributing a demo tape of her singing with karaoke songs. She gave a copy to every label in town,^[27] but was rejected.^[28]

After Swift returned to Pennsylvania, she was asked to sing at the U.S. Open tennis tournament, where her rendition of the national anthem received much attention.^[29] Swift started writing songs and playing 12-string guitar when she was 12. Swift began to regularly visit Nashville and wrote songs with local songwriters. By the time she was 14, her family decided to move to an outlying Nashville suburb.^[30]

When Swift was 15, she rejected RCA Records because the company wanted to keep her on an artist development deal.^[31] After performing at Nashville's songwriters' venue, The Bluebird Café, she caught the attention of Scott Borchetta,^[32] who signed her to his newly formed record label, Big Machine Records. At age 14, she became the youngest staff songwriter ever hired by the Sony/ATV Tree publishing house.^[33]

At the 44th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards, Swift picked up Album of the Year honors as a performer and producer for Fearless.

Swift is the youngest artist in history to win the ACM Album of the Year award. The Academy lauded her for career achievements including selling more albums in 2008 than any other artist in any genre of music, the breakthrough success of her debut album, and the worldwide crossover success of her #1 single "Love Story". The Academy also cited Swift's contribution to helping country music attract a younger audience.^[65] As of late April 2009, Swift has sold more than 14 million downloads, as well as three Gold Mobile Ringtones.^[66]

Swift played for about an hour during the school's field day, an annual day-long recess with games and activities. On October 8, 2009 Swift's official website announced that her sold-out Fearless Tour would return to North America for 37 additional dates in 2010.

West taking the microphone from Swift at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.

Scheduled to perform on September 13, 2009, Swift attended the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.

This was her first VMA performance, where she became the first country music artist to win an MTV Video Music Award.^[68] During the show, as Swift was on stage accepting the award for Best Female Video for "You Belong with Me," singer/rapper Kanye West came on stage and took the microphone from Swift, saying that Beyoncé's video for "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)", nominated for the same award, was "one of the best videos of all time," an action that caused the many audience members to boo West.^[69][70] He handed the microphone back to a stunned and reportedly upset Swift, who did not finish her acceptance speech.^[69][71] When Beyoncé later won the award for Best Video of the Year for "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)", she called Swift up on stage so that she could finish her acceptance speech.^[69][72]

Following the awards show, West apologized for his verbal outburst in a blog entry (which was subsequently removed).^[69] He was criticized by various celebrities for the outburst,^{[70][73][74][75][76]} and even by President Barack Obama in an "off the record" comment.^{[77][78][79][80]} He later posted a second apology on his blog and made his first public apology one day after the incident on the debut episode of The Jay Leno Show.^[70]

On September 15, 2009, Swift talked about the matter on The View, where she said she was at first excited to see West on stage and then disappointed once he acted out.^[81][82] She said West had not spoken to her following the incident.^[82] Following her appearance on The View, West contacted her to apologize personally; Swift said she accepted his apology.^[68][82]

On November 11, 2009 Swift became the youngest artist ever to win the Country Music Association Award for Entertainer of the year, and is one of only six women to win the Country Music Association's highest honor.^[83]

On the chart week of November 14, 2009, Swift set a record for the most songs on the Billboard Hot 100 by a female artist at the same time with eight singles from the re-release of her 2008 album Fearless namely five debut new songs in the top 30: "Jump Then Fall" at #10, "Untouchable" at #19, "The Other Side of the Door" at #22, "Superstar" at #27 and "Come in With the Rain" at #30 and three already-charted songs that were released as singles—"You Belong with Me" (#14), "Forever & Always" which re-entered the chart at #34, and "Fifteen" (#46).^[84]

In addition, the song "Two Is Better Than One" by Boys Like Girls which features Swift, debuted at #80 in the same issue. This gives Swift six debuts in one week, the biggest number of debuts by any female artist of all time. It also lifts the number of her simultaneously-charting songs to nine, setting another record for the biggest number of charting songs by the same female artist in the same week.^[85] When "Fifteen" reached #38 on the chart week of November 21, 2009, Swift became the female artist with the most Top 40 singles this decade, surpassing Beyoncé. "Fifteen" became Swift's twentieth Top 40 single overall.^[86] "Two Is Better Than One" by Boys Like Girls and John Mayer's "Half of My Heart" both featured Swift, peaking at #40 and #25 respectively. The two songs are her 21st and 22nd Top 40 singles.

Fearless was the best-selling album of 2009 in the US with more than 3.2 millions copies sold in that year. Swift claimed both the #1 and #2 positions atop Nielsen's BDS Top 10 Most Played Songs chart (all genres), with "You Belong With Me" and "Love Story," respectively. She also topped the all format 2009 Top 10 Artist Airplay chart with over 1.29 million song detections, and the Top 10 Artist Internet Streams chart with more than 46 million song plays.^[87]

2010–present: Speak Now

Swift released the track "Today Was a Fairytale" as a digital download on iTunes on January 19, 2010. The song was featured on the soundtrack for the film Valentine's Day, in which she made her feature-film acting debut. The song debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 2,^[88] becoming her sixth Top 10 and 23rd Top 40 single on that chart. According to Nielsen SoundScan, with sales of "Today Was a Fairytale" more than 325,000 in its first week, Swift has broken the record for first-week download sales by a female artist.^[89] The song also debuted at number one on the Canadian Hot 100, making it Swift's first number one hit in Canada.

Songwriting style

Swift's lyrics are highly autobiographical; she has said that "If you listen to my albums, it’s like reading my diary."^[93] For example, the song "Forever & Always" was inspired by her relationship with Joe Jonas,^[94] while the song "Hey Stephen" was written about a boy who she toured with in the past.^[93] "Fifteen" was written about her freshman year of high school. It has been said that her lyrics "can be tinged with acid: the quiet loner girl getting one over on the cheerleaders, or a caustic payback for the boy who dumped her."^[95] She has also indicated that she tries to write so her fans can relate to the lyrics, saying "My goal is to never write songs that my fans can't relate to."^[96] She parodied her confrontational style of songwriting during her appearance on Saturday Night Live; during her opening monologue, she performed an original song that featured lines such as "You might think I'd bring up Joe, that guy who broke up with me on the phone/ Hey, Joe, I'm doing real well, tonight I'm hosting 'SNL'" referring to her highly publicized relationship with Joe Jonas.^[97]

The intensely personal nature of the songs has drawn her attention in the music industry. Swift once said, "I thought people might find them hard to relate to, but it turned out that the more personal my songs were, the more closely people could relate to them."^[98]

The autobiographical nature of her songs has led some fans to research the songs' origins. Swift once said, "Every single one of the guys that I’ve written songs about has been tracked down on MySpace by my fans."^[99] The New York Times described Swift as "one of pop's finest songwriters, country’s foremost pragmatist and more in touch with her inner life than most adults".^[100]
