Justin Bieber and his manager Scooter Braun were at the Tribeca Film Festival on Friday (April 27) to accept the 2012 Tribeca Disruptive Innovation Award for disrupting "the traditional gatekeepers of the music industry."
Sporting a varsity jacket when he took the stage, the 18-year-old noted that a lot of what he does is a reflection of his relationship with his fans. "I don't think that I would be here without the Internet. The fans feel connected to me," he said, ABC News reports.
According to The Huffington Post, he recalled his early days of posting videos on YouTube under the moniker KidRauhl and how he was skittish of Braun, initially.
"He called me, and my mom was like, 'Why am I going to trust a guy named Scooter?' " Bieber said. "So she ignored him, and he started calling all of the places where he saw me sing in my videos. ... It was some really creepy stuff. He finally found my great aunt, who I had never met before, to try and get in contact with me."
Of those early days, Braun joked, "Either I was going to be the guy who watches videos of a young boy on the Internet and gets arrested, or I was going to sign him."
The award seems fitting, given how much Bieber's rise to fame has changed the way talent can be discovered via the internet, and can use technology to spread the word. "Ever since then," Bieber said, "We've been taking the world by storm."
Next up, Bieber plans to storm the charts with his June album release, Believe. He's expected to drop his "Boyfriend" video soon in the lead-up to the album.

Reuters: Apple in talks to stream films owned by Epix, no deal expected before September
It's reasonably well known at this point that Apple is looking to line up partnerships for some sort of a streaming video service. We've heard again and again that it's coming, so get ready to hum along with that 'ol tune one more time. Reuters is reporting that Apple has been in negotiations with Epix since earlier this year, hoping to secure access to films from Lions Gate, MGM and Paramount Pictures. There's no indication of when such a service might come to light, but Reuters indicates the company's current deal with Netflix, which expires on September 1st, could be a conflict (though that hasn't stopped Google TV in the past). So, no proper Apple-branded TV until the fall? Stay tuned...

Flirty Facebook Post Sparks 30-WOMAN BRAWL in Sacramento
An ill-advised Facebook comment allegedly led to a 30-woman brawl involving baseball bats, a smashed glass candle crudely wielded as a weapon, and resulting in two serious injuries in Sacramento, Calif., this week.
Officer Michele Gigante of the Sacramento Police said a post on one man's Facebook page was the culprit. His wife allegedly wasn't fond of its salacious nature, which apparently instigated (somehow) a multi-woman showdown.
Cops claim that Facebook played a role beyond the man flirting with another woman besides his wife. Some participants used FB to organize the fight.
The participants looked "angry and out of breath," according to one eyewitness, who adds that several individuals were hurt after the epic melee.
One imagines that things like this never used to happen. But of course they did. They just didn't benefit from the virtual megaphone and fine organizational possibilities offered to breathlessly angry mobs by Facebook's mere existence.
Thank you, Mark Zuckerberg. Thank you.

'American Idol' Top Six Battle For The Throne On Queen Night
Hollie Cavanagh rises up with 'The Climb' and Joshua Ledet racks up two more standing ovations.

If "American Idol" was decided by whoever received the most standing ovations from the judges, Joshua Ledet would have this year's competition in the bag.
Ledet racked up two more standing O's from the judges on Wednesday's (April 25) "Idol," which found the contestants singing two songs apiece: one from Queen, and another of their own choosing.
That brought Ledet's unofficial standing ovation season total to 12 — that figure according to Skylar Laine, who ribbed him backstage for receiving a dozen standing O's over the course of the season.
Ledet first got a rise out of the judges with his version of "Crazy Little Thing Called Love," which caused Jennifer Lopez to ask, "Is it bad for me to say the Joshua part of the show is my favorite part of the show?" He followed it with a version of India.Arie's "Ready for Love" — which was sung by Michael Lynche back in "Idol" season nine — which was called "another unbelievable performance" by Randy Jackson. Added an enthusiastic Steven Tyler, "I hope the label finds you a bunch of good songs, man, and you're off to the moon. I smell the finish line with you."
Hollie Cavanagh received the evening's other standing ovation from the judges with her second song, "The Climb," the Miley Cyrus song that seemingly summed up her journey on the show so far. It came after she received so-so marks for her first song, Queen's "Save Me," which played into theme of "The Climb" even further.
"That's the Hollie Cavanagh that we love, that's the one! Hollie is back! Yo!" said Jackson. Added Lopez, "You said it backstage, 'I gotta step it up,' and you did! It was perfect."
Steven Tyler's favorite of the night was Skylar Laine, who opened with "The Show Must Go On" and followed it with Jason Aldean's "Tattoo's on This Town." On the Queen song, Tyler praised her energy and her passion as over-the-top, saying, "the way you hit your notes, for an 18-year-old? Oh my God. That was fabulous." Lopez said she got "goosies" from Laine, while Jackson dubbed himself a "ginormous" fan of the Mississippi singer.
Jessica Sanchez kicked off the show with "Bohemian Rhapsody," which was shot in black and white while a chorus of Sanchez heads backed her on the oval "Idol" video screen at the back of the stage. For her second song, Sanchez sent a shout-out to her dad, singing a touching version of Luther Vandross' "Dance With My Father."
Lopez told Sanchez she expected more energy from her during "Rhapsody," but said her "Dance With My Father" was "the best I've ever heard that song sang." Meanwhile, Jackson summed up her two performances by saying, "every time you get up and sing, you know what's wrong with it? Absolutely nothing!"
Phillip Phillips, who has battled Dave Matthews comparisons from fans all season, seemingly got away from the Matthews talk with his first song, a fun, spirited take on "Fat Bottomed Girls." "People say that you remind them of Dave Matthews, that didn't remind me of Dave Matthews at all. That was something totally different," Lopez said, invoking Matthews name out loud for the first time this season. "That's the mark of a great singer for me."
And how did Phillip Squared follow it up? With a performance of Dave Matthews' "The Stone," on which he sounded like a direct clone of Matthews. Lopez was not pleased, dismissing the song "obscure" and "artsy," and worrying it would get him voted off the show. Jackson, for his part, admired Phillips' sticking to his guns. "Die, sink or swim, Phil Phillips will always be Phil Phillips," he said. "I love that."
Elise Testone took on Queen's "I Want It All" early and followed it with Jimi Hendrix's "Bold as Love." The first song got high marks, though the latter "wasn't the right song for this time in the competition," Jackson told her, criticizing her for "boxing" with the song, and saying Hendrix sang "about 1/25 of what you sang" in his original. J. Lo had the opposite reaction. Although she said she wasn't familiar with the original, "you slayed that song so hard, it didn't even matter," she said.
Wednesday's show opened with the Top Six performing a medley of Queen songs, backed by Queen's Brian May and Roger Taylor.
Thursday's show will feature performances by Katy Perry and 10th season "Idol" contestant Stefano Langone, and one of the six remaining contestants will be sent home.
