"Bieber Fever" Becomes "Bieber-MANIA!"

Justin Bieber was LITERALLY trapped inside his hotel room yesterday in Liverpool, England as hundreds of fans showed up to try to catch a glimpse of the teen pop sensation.

Bieber was actually warned by Liverpool Police that he could be charged with "inciting a riot" if he were to step outside to greet the fans. He managed to negotiate with police to make an appearance on the balcony so that fans could catch a glimpse of their idol.

Bieber was in Liverpool to perform at the Liverpool Echo Arena this weekend and had intended on spending his day off taking an historic Beatles tour through the city. Those plans were nixed by police though, who feared that if Bieber were to hit the city, it could cause mass pandemonium.

The scenes in Liverpool were reminiscent of the same pandemonium caused by The Beatles in their hometown back in the late 1960's:
