Framed

Justin Bieber & Jaden Smith, Framed

If this is June, it must be time to have Justin Bieber back in Framed. He hasn't been our featured star since late April, for God's sake. Please accept our deepest apologies, and please don't sign that online petition to have our blogging license revoked.

Justin is the teenaged superstar whose latest LP, My World 2.0, has stood civilization on its ear. The album has been in the top five since its release, and Y! Music charts expert Paul Grein reports that its big single, "Baby," has topped  two million downloads. But did Justin slow down and build a world-class koi pond, as, say, a lazy blogger with his bucks might?

No! Instead, he's recorded yet another great song, this one the theme for the cinematic blockbuster, The Karate Kid, which stars Jaden Smith as Ralph Macchio.  Justin and Jaden combine to deliver "Never Say Never," an astonishingly uplifting song about something or another. Justin sings. Jaden raps. We quite like it!

Please let us know if you like it, too. We'll be back here again next week -- same time, same place, and, most importantly, exactly the same captions but with different pictures

Important blog note! We have to admit that our readers--who share a sense of fair play and almost godlike good looks--have met our high expectations. Several weeks ago we invited you to write alternate, (ahem) better captions than ours, and you stepped up! We congratulate everyone who's participated so far and encourage you to keep at it.

We can only have one winner, though, and this week's award goes to trusty reader Ronson, who proposed the following last week

When Mr. Ed died, they accidentally sent him to HUMAN heaven

Ha ha ha.  Good work, Ronson, and keep 'em coming, readers!

1 -- As Wall Girl: The Movie cast the romantic lead, tensions escalated.

2 -- "Hey, Justin, didn't there used to be a rubber tree plant here?  And what makes you say that Framed is just phoning it in now?"

3  -- But would Scientology Camp be all they said?

4 -- "As long as we have steady work, men, and British opium, life is good!"

5 -- "A fan of professional football's most laughable franchise?  Right here!"

6 -- "150 years ago, I would've owned you," Bieber thought entrepreneurially.

7 -- "Damn that ten pin! I must require further auditing!"

8 -- "What is it about 'wax off' that you don't understand?"

9 -- "A bee! Jesus, it's a bee!"

10 -- "Did you think Glurpo didn't attack in many ways?"

11 -- "Compare yourself to Daniel-san, will you?"

12 -- It was a bitter end to the Sermon on the Anthill!
