Shaq vs. is going to be back on ABC on August 3rd and this time he is taking on Justin Bieber, Nathan’s Hot Dog Champ Joey Chestnut and Penn & Teller to name a few and I can’t wait to see how many challenges take down the 7’1″ NBA legend.
Over the course of six episodes, O’Neal will race Dale Earnhardt Jr. at Concord Speedway; take on pop singing sensation Justin Bieber in Orlando; challenge daytime host and author Rachael Ray to a cook-off in the Big Apple; team up with NBA All-Star Dwight Howard of the Orlando Magic, Chris Johnson of the Tennessee Titans and DeSean Jackson of the Philadelphia Eagles to outrun Tyson Gay in a 200-meter relay race; tee off with Charles Barkley on The St. Regis Monarch Beach golf links; attempt to defy illusionists and comedians Penn & Teller at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino; partake in a spelling bee against Scripps National Champion Kavya Shivashankar; box against Sugar Shane Mosley in an exhibition match at Caesars Palace in Vegas; challenge Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Champion Joey Chestnut outside Serendipity 3 in Las Vegas, and more.
I am not sure which challenge I am looking forward to more, Shaq and his deep voice trying to out sing Justin Bieber whose voice changing or seeing how many hot dogs he can swallow whole. I am thinking the latter because what if he eats too many and throws up. Can you imagine how much stuff can come up from a man who is over 7 feet tall?

What is bigger these days than Justin Bieber and flash mobs? How about a Justin Bieber flash mob. Believe it or not the teen international sensation did not have his very own flash mob until last month. You would think all those little teeny boppers would have already done one for him, but it wasn’t until 70 girls got together in Gothenburg, Sweden that the Baby singer got to watch a mob dance to his hit song in a flash. Those 70 fans learned that routine in less than 2 hours and you know what they did a great job. I actually think this is one of my favorite flash mobs because I liked their dance so much. I don’t like when the mobs aren’t organized and this was pretty well done for such a short time.
Even though this has been declared the world’s first Justin Bieber flash mob, I think there will be plenty more before we know it.
BTW I wonder if that choreographer came up with the idea or someone hired him to do. I am hoping it is the latter because he will never live it down if it wasn’t.
Justin Bieber’s new video for Somebody to Love debuted tonight and I think he was too young for it. It was a cool video, but not for a 16 year old boy. It works for Usher, but not for the Biebs. What does the teen know about being sexy? He is a teen idol, not a sex symbol.
Plus it was the first time I realized that once his voice changes, how the sound of all of his songs will change. It will be interesting to see how a deeper voice will change the feel of his songs.
