Bieber lends helping hand to Carly Rae

- BY LEAH COLLINS

For weeks, we’ve known Justin Bieber shares one important thing with countless Canadians (his undying love of Swiss Chalet notwithsta­nding). Biebz is a huge fan of Carly Rae Jepsen’s hit, “Call Me Maybe.”

After Bieber Tweeted about how much he loves the frothy pop track (currently the No. 3 song on Canadian itunes), the pop star’s manager, Scooter Braun, signed the Vancouver singer-songwriter to his label, Schoolboy Records. And he’s done this 26-yearold Canadian Idol alum one further solid — recording a new music video for “Call Me Maybe.”

Apparently shot on somebody’s webcam, the production quality might leave something to be desired — especially compared to Jepsen’s cutesy original. Then again, adding Bieber makes for instant cinematic magic. The clip also features his girlfriend Selena Gomez.

We’ve posted the video below, which was uploaded to Youtube by Big Time Rush’s Carlos Pena (look for him in the video.

Jepsen’s EP, Curiosity, arrived Feb. 14, with a full album expected within the year. According to the Juno nominee’s Twitter, Jepsen was working with Bieber and others in L.A. this week. For more, check out our interview with Jepsen.
