Will Justin Bieber's performance at halftime add any new CFL fans?Saturday's announcement that this year's Grey Cup halftime show will feature Justin Bieber (as well as the less-controversial Carly Rae Jepsen, Gordon Lightfoot and Marianas Trench) has already sparked plenty of interesting reactions, from Elliotte Friedman's "Rogers Centre to overflow with ear blood" to enthusiastic people plotting out potential set lists. Leaving aside the debate over the musical abilities of Bieber, though, what's interesting is that for the second year in a row (hello, Nickelback!), the CFL has gone with an act that's both extremely popular with groups outside the league's primary fan demographics and reviled by many inside those demographics. Of course, this year they've dialed that down by having Bieber share the stage with Jepsen, Lightfoot and Marianas Trench, so there's probably something just about everyone can at least tolerate here. That raises its own questions of if trying to hit every box is the right strategy, though. Expanding the league's fan base is certainly a laudable goal, but is this approach going to do it?
Justin Bieber playing Grey Cup halftime suggests CFL wants young fans: will it work?

Pricey homes almost certainly headed for the scrap heap
"Tear downs" are not a new phenomenon, but dropping millions on a house just to knock it down is now becoming a proud tradition among America's rich. Billionaire hedge fund manager David Tepper—you know him as the guy who keeps $100M in a savings account—started a trend when he bought a 6,200-square-foot oceanfront house in the Hamptons for $43.5M then proceeded to knock it down and begin construction on a 15,000-square-foot replacement. On the West Coast, Paramount Pictures chief Brad Grey ruffled feathers when he bought Frank Sinatra's house, tried to flip it for $20M, and then tore the whole thing down just to relist it for the same price.
