Teen Vogue is looking to capitalize off of Justin Bieber’s hormonal outbursts of late by publishing two covers featuring the pop artist. Not only does Bieber show off his hilarious hair (pro tip my man: Dylan McKay did it better) but inside, WWD reports that he reminds everyone that he’s Justin Bieber, so he does what he wants.

“I don’t need to address every speculation,” he explains. “Remember when Cam’ron dissed Jay-Z? Jay-Z didn’t even respond. Why didn’t he respond, because he’s Jay-Z.”

Stop it.

Have at it ladies. And men. And everyone! Everyone have sex with Justin Bieber!

Did you feel the Earth shake beneath you this morning? Did you happen to notice an unusual amount of delays while on the train? That’s because Matt Lauer decided to join Twitter this morning.

Lauer asked Justin Bieber to help him, so naturally Bieber joke-tweeted from Lauer’s account that everyone should go buy his upcoming album. Hahahaha! What a funny time in America!

As of now, all four of Lauer’s tweets are about The Biebs. Let’s hope things change soon.

If you’re into big names, WWD has a great roundup of the best (and worst) selling magazine covers featuring celebrities this year. While some celebrities made for an up and down impact — Kim Kardashian, for one — others meant great (0r terrible) numbers for titles.

Mila Kunis was the big winner of the year. If a magazine had her on the front, people were buying it. Her GQ cover was the title’s best-seller, but there was more:

She took to W in March and delivered sales 15 percent above average for the fashion monthly. She was the February cover star of Cosmopolitan and brought in 1.7 million sales, which is nearly 10 percent better than the monthly’s average for the first half. And then she graced the cover of Elle in August in a portrait with Justin Timberlake, which brought in 250,000 sales, fourth best of the year for Elle.

We get the Kunis thing. She’s smart, funny, successful and well, someday your FishbowlNY editors hope to have hair that fabulous.

“Casey Anthony Trial” was the most searched news story of the year, according to a study released by Bing. Following behind Casey Anthony was Osama bin Laden Death, Hurricane Irene, Japan Earthquake/Tsunami and Amy Winehouse Death, respectively. Bing, a search engine used by those who have gone temporarily insane and thus forgot about Google, added up all of the website’s searches for the results.

Some other interesting finds: The Kardashian sisters all made the top five for most searched “reality star,” the “Today” show was the most searched morning program and Justin Bieber was the most searched person of the year.

The Biebs was also the most searched musician, meaning “Bieber for President in 2029″ is going to happen. And no, it won’t matter that he’s not a citizen, the man is unstoppable.

In this week’s episode of “5 Things You Need to Know This Week,” Herman Cain sings about sexual harassment, Justin Bieber has a baby with Kate Middleton (I think I have that right), and nobody seems to know the whereabouts of Matt Lauer. Plus, we debut the 1st annual “Where in the World is ‘Five Things You Need to Know This Week?’”

Hail! Hail! The Wednesday gang is all here. The lunch scene at Michael’s was firing on all cylinders today as moguls (Barry Diller! Roger Ailes!), high-profile editors (David Zinczenko, Cindi Leive) and a heaping helping of talking heads (Kathie Lee Gifford, Ashleigh Banfield, Joe Kernen, Larry Kudlow and Andrew Ross Sorkin) made for a tasty media stew. There was actually gridlock in the dining room as the famous and fabulous stood in the aisles to intercept friends (and possible future employers?) on their way to their tables.

The biggest crowd was circling around Table One where Hollywoodlife.com’s Bonnie Fuller and Gerry Byrne (who is on parent company Penske Media Corp’s board) were hosting their monthly lunch where they bring together an interesting mix of folk to “cross-pollinate” says Bonnie, who leads the group as they chew over the latest trends in media (particularly in the digital space) and weigh in on how it affects their respective businesses. Gerry was the lone man among a table full of opinionated, highly successful women who weighed in on everything from reality stars — we learned Ashleigh Banfield is more than a little obsessed with the Kardashian sisters — to intellectual property. Designer Heather Thomson told the group that she spent $2.5 million in a lawsuit against lingerie giant Maidenform when she charged them with copying her patented three-panel tank top. She was awarded $6.57 million as settlement. Her takeaway: “Innovation needs to be protected.”

Leading the cheer for all that is digital, Bonnie said, “I’m so happy I crossed over from print” and is hooked by the immediacy of it all. “As a magazine editor, I felt like I was having a one-way conversation so much of the time,” she said of her stints as editor- in-chief at Glamour, Us Weekly and Cosmo. “At Hollywoodlife.com, we are intensely focused on our relationships with women with a need to know about the things they are about right now.”  Bonnie says the site is now getting 4.7 million monthly uniques who come to get their fix on everything concerning Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, Justin Bieber and the Kardashian sisters.

• AllTwitter: People are getting tattoos of trending topics. Maybe they should skip the middle man and just get Justin Bieber’s name inked on their butts.
• FishbowlDC: NatGeo is going to premiere the documentary, “George W. Bush: The 9/11 Interview,” on August 28. The film contains an extensive interview with the former president, which will be interesting to hear.
• FishbowlLA: Will Ben Stiller will host the next Oscars? No one is sure, but you can be sure he will star in several terrible movies before then.

Apparently Vanity Fair readers are not Beliebers. When we learned back in December that the magazine was going to put Justin Bieber on the cover, we were curious to know what it was going to look like. Turns out, it didn’t matter.

WWD is reporting that the March issue with Bieber on the cover is on pace to become Vanity Fair’s worst-selling issue in 12 years. As of now the issue has only sold 246,000 copies, making it the worst since Will Smith’s July 1999 issue only moved 202,701 copies.

At least Vanity Fair is maintaining a bit of a sense of humor about the bomb. A Spokesperson said of the Bieber issue, “Who knew 12-year-olds didn’t buy magazines?”

• TVNewser: Al Anstey, the Managing Editor at Al Jazeera English, told CNN last night that the network is completely unbiased, which might be true if it was run by a bunch of Watsons, but since it’s not, he’s wrong.
• SportsNewser: Bart Scott is going to work with Hulk Hogan in a battle of who can say the most meaningless crap.
• AllTwitter: Justin Bieber lost 80,000 followers when he cut his hair, proving that there is hope for at least 80,000 people.
