Justin BieberBah humbug!
With Christmas just one week away, Justin Bieber isn't planning to head to bed early Dec. 24 to await the arrival of Santa Claus. In fact, the teen pop phenom says he's never believed in the man in the big red suit!

"My mom always told me there wasn't a Santa," Bieber says in a new interview with AOL Music. "This was her logic: She thought if I grew up knowing about Santa then finding out he wasn't real, that it would be like she was lying to me. And then when she told me about God, I maybe wouldn't believe her."

Alicia Keys gave birth to her first child in October 2010, but she barely skipped a beat in the year that followed. In 2011, the "Empire State of Mind" songstress co-directed a short film called Five, co-produced the Broadway debut of Stick Fly, grossed nearly $700,000 per night for a string of live concerts, and still was able to contribute time to Keep A Child Alive, the charity she co-founded.

"A lot of times, people make far more money than they could probably ever even think about what to do with," she told FORBES this fall. "If you have the opportunity to be able to encourage someone to do something great for somebody else … I think that's the right way to do business."
Keys did plenty of business last year—$10 million in earnings, by our estimates—placing her among the ten highest-earning women in music. Yet she finished far behind this year's Cash Queen.
That title belongs to Lady Gaga, who led the pack with a staggering $90 million total
Read More »from The Top Earning Women in MusicIn the music world, all our rowdy friends were coming over this year. And a few of them, like Hank Williams Jr., got in some trouble with their bad-boy behavior, whether that made them pariahs or pop heroes or both.
So let's commemorate the rude 'n' crude class of 2011 with this rundown of 20 great examples of music stars behaving badly this past year. (Who could have guessed, 12 short months ago, that we could make a list like this and Britney wouldn't even be on it?)
1. Hank Jr. compares Obama to... Netanyahu. Really, it was John Boehner he was thinking of as Hitler when he made that equation, right? How a smart guy like Hank Jr. let himself get tricked into making such damaging statements by those notorious right-wing-baiters on Fox News Channel, we'll never fathom. But what we do know is that, ever since ESPN terminated his "All My Rowdy Friends" theme song, football has been... exactly the same.
