Justin Bieber keeps rolling out those Christmas hits!
The 17-year-old singer has just released the video for "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" ... a song featured on Biebs' album Under The Mistletoe. The holiday track is also on the soundtrack for Arthur Christmas.
In the upbeat video, Bieber is seen working hard in what looks like Santa's North Pole workshop. With the young singer's funky 'do, a robotic-type arm and breakdancing elves ... what's not to like!
You may recall, during a recent Today Show appearance to plug his new album, Justin forgot lyrics to this song ... and repeated some lines and danced a little in the hopes that audiences wouldn't notice. We noticed, but he still rocked it!
This video follows last week's release of the "All I Want For Christmas" music video featuring Mariah Carey. Bieber sure knows how to give for the holidays.

Katie Price was spotted leaving a medical building in Beverly Hills, and later we caught the glamour model lunching at the Ivy. While it's pretty impossible to miss her Snooki-style tan and bleached blonde locks, the throng of paparazzi photographers following her down Robertson Blvd definitely gave her away!
Just a few minutes ago Ms. Price tweeted, "its taken time and some effort by my team, but after some great meetings, LA really does turn your dreams into reality i am sooo excited! x." Oooh, does that mean she's getting a new reality show? We definitely dig the busty Brit, so we'd love to see her on the small screen sometime in the near future!

Alec Baldwin was kicked off his American Airlines flight from LAX this afternoon after he was caught playing a game on his cell phone shortly before takeoff.
Baldwin's rep told Us Weekly, "Alec was asked to leave the flight for playing Words with Friends while parked at the gate. He loves WWF so much that he was willing to leave a plane for it, but he has already boarded another AA flight." Ha!
Baldwin tweeted, "The flight attendant on American reamed me out for playing Words With Friends while we sat at the gate, not moving. No wonder American Air is bankrupt ... The real way is United."
Interestingly enough, almost exactly a year ago actor Josh Duhamel was kicked off a flight after refusing to turn off his BlackBerry before takeoff. What is it with celebs and airline regulations? Sheesh!

With baby number three just a few months away, it's going to start getting competitive in the Garner-Affleck household!
Yesterday we spotted Jennifer Garner taking daughter Violet to school, and Miss V appeared thrilled to have her mom escorting her to class. Either that or she's on cloud nine after celebrating her 6th birthday last week! Daddy Ben Affleck is busy shooting Argo (hence the shaggy 'do he's still sporting), so it looks like Jen is on double duty with V and Seraphina for the time being...

Despite initial accusations that she kidnapped her 5-year-old son Zander last week, Mindy McCready left her child-welfare hearing yesterday in good spirits.
"WE WON!!! ZAN STAYS," McCready wrote in a text message to Headline News' Jane Velez Mitchell last night. "Court details sealed but we love Judge Lee W. Harrod."
McCready took Zander from her mother's Florida home last week (Gayle McCready is Zander's legal guardian), and several days later authorities found the troubled country singer and her son hiding in a closet in Arkansas, at a residence presumed to belong to her boyfriend. It was also recently revealed that McCready is seven months pregnant with twins, which may have helped her earn some sympathy at the hearing.
On Monday, McCready told reporters that she couldn't talk about the ruling but said she's "a happy girl right now." McCready added, "I love Judge Harrod, I'll tell you that. He's a good man."

ESPN reporter Erin Andrews has filed a $10 million invasion of privacy lawsuit against Marriott and Michael Barrett, the man who videotaped her through the peephole of her hotel room back in 2008.
Andrews is suing for damages ... $6 million against Marriott and $4 million against Barrett.
The lawsuit, filed in Nashville, says the following:
"The unknowing and unwelcome filming of (Andrews) while she was changing and the further dissemination of unauthorized, private videos of (Andrews) in the hotel rooms has caused and continues to cause her great emotional distress and embarrassment."
In the suit, it also claims Barrett was told by Marriott staff as to the whereabouts of Andrews' hotel room. He was then able to book the room right next door.
Barrett reportedly videotaped Andrews through peepholes at numerous hotels in various states.

Jesse James makes a guest appearance on American Chopper: The Build-Off, and not only does the motorcycle mechanic talk smack about some of his competitors, but he seemingly blames ex-wife Sandra Bullock for his bad press and career problems! "I became a big shot and married some Hollywood actress and didn't talk to anybody anymore, so I feel bad," James says in the clip. "I feel obligated to reconnect with all these people and show 'em that I'm still the same fabricator motorcycle guy ... I'm not what I became." Hmm, I guess he doesn't remember Bullock winning an Oscar in 2010 and thanking him during her acceptance speech!
When he was done slamming Bullock, James ripped on Paul Teutul and Paul Teutul Jr., the stars of the show and fellow custom motorcycle manufacturers. "I don’t know what the Teutuls do for a gas tank -- I think he just yells at someone to get it done and it didn’t matter how it got done," James proclaims. "I can’t see that stuff lasting, I think it will work if the bike is static and just gets started up for TV. My stuff is meant to do 100...like full, aggressive riding and to withstand punishment."
Bullock divorced James in 2010 after 5 years of marriage, and claims of his inifidelity emerged right after she thanked him at the Oscars. James later admitted to cheating on Bullock, and he said in an interview that he took "a pretty amazing life and marriage" and "threw it away."
