Uniondale, New York, might not the world's most popular vacation destination but that wasn't the case this past weekend when the inaugural Pop-Con music festival descended upon Nassau Coliseum and the city was filled with screaming Justin Bieber fans.

That's right, The Bieb—along with fellow pop peers like Selena Gomez, Nat & Alex Wolff (from the Nickelodeon series The Naked Brothers Band), Push Play, Meaghan Martin, Mercy Mercedes and Sean Kingston—took the stage to snap, crackle and pop for thousands of tweens (and probably a couple hundred parents, as well).

Are you kicking yourself for missing the action? Don't pummel yourself too hard because we've got all the photographic goodness here!

Earlier this week, the announcement that Hilary Duff will star in a remake of film classic Bonnie & Clyde, ruffled a lot of feathers and raised the argument anew that Hollywood is out of original ideas. The incredibly (i.e. accidentally) timely Mercy Mercedes offer an innovative solution in the form of their video for "The Perfect Scene." In it, the North Carolina pop-punkers borrow heavily from Ferris Bueller's Day Off, but instead of ripping off the '80s John Hughes classic line for line, they combine it with elements of other movies, like Back To The Future and Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. Take note, Hollywood! Instead of boring us with a live-action remake of All Dogs Go To Heaven, why not get out of the box with something more along the lines of 10 Things I Hate About The Fact That I Can't Hardly Wait, or The Breakfast Club At Tiffany's? THINK ABOUT IT. Watch Mercy Mercedes now. Look for them on the Bamboozle Road Show with We The Kings, Forever The Sickest Kids, The Cab and many others in a couple months!
