"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:

Justin Bieber's "Bird"

Looks like Justin Bieber has had it with the paparazzi.

Bieber was out on the town, celebrating his 17th birthday with alleged-girlfriend Selena Gomez when the pop-prince had apparently had enough of the photogs and decided to tell them how he felt about them.

Whoops...

JUSTIN BIEBER DIES...On CSI

If you happen to have PVR-ed last night's episode of CSI, then you might not want to watch this:



I gotta hand it to the kid...he's actually not too bad of an actor.

Justin Bieber...In Rolling Stone Magazine

Justin Bieber is taking some "flack" over the answers he gave during a recent interview for Rolling Stone Magazine...take a look and judge for yourself:

On sex before marriage: "I don't think you should have sex with anyone unless you're in love with them. I think you should just wait for the person you're in love with."

On health care: "Canada's the best country in the world. We go to the doctor and we don't need to worry about paying him, but here, your whole life, you're broke because of medical bills. My bodyguard's baby was premature and now he has to pay for it. In Canada, if your baby's premature, he stays in the hospital for as long as he needs to and then you go home."

On abortion: "I really don't believe in abortion. It's like killing a baby?"

On abortion in cases of rape: "Um. Well, I think that's really sad, but everything happens for a reason. I guess I haven't been in that position, so I wouldn't be able to judge that."

On politics: "I'm not sure about the parties. But whatever they have in Korea, that's bad."

Now, before you jump to judge him to be - as some have said - an idiot, I think there's something you need to be reminded of:

HE'S 16 YEARS OLD

If anyone should be judged here, it should be the Rolling Stone interviewer who thought it would be a good idea to ask a 16 year-old about politics, abortion & sex.

Shockers of the night included:

• Eminem only winning TWO of the TEN Grammy Awards that he was nominated for (he won for Best Rap Album and Best Rap Solo Performance)

Justin Bieber Makes Too Much Damned Money

How much would YOU pay for THIS haircut?

Personally, I wouldn't pay for it...but I can tell you how much Justin Bieber pays:

$750.00

According to an article in "Life & Style" magazine, Bieber's famous haircut was created by Vanessa Price back in 2009. She says that when he hits the road, she makes housecalls and cuts Bieber's hair twice a month...which means he's spending upwards of $1500 per month on haircuts.

All of the sudden the $18 I spend at the barber shop once a month doesn't seem so bad.

Justin Bieber Kissed Selena Gomez? OMG!!1!!?

If your local 15 year old girl has been looking a little "down" today, it's likely because of the release of the above photo.

"The Biebs" was photographed canoodling with former Disney star, Selena Gomez over the New Year's holiday. There have been rumors that the 2 were an item for awhile now, but they've been denying it. I'm no expert, but I'm thinking that will be pretty hard to do now.

**UPDATE: Some sources have been saying that Gomez has been receiving DEATH THREATS via Twitter from outraged Bieber fans (yes...really).

BREAKING NEWS: Justin Bieber...Under Investigation?

BREAKING NEWS courtesy of our good pals over at TMZ: It would appear that teen heartthrob Justin Bieber is under investigation by the RCMP after an alleged incident during a Lazer Tag at a facility in Richmond, BC. From TMZ:

A 12 year old boy claims Bieber hit him while playing the game, though he suffered no visible injuries.

A rep for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police tells TMZ the incident was reported to authorities by the boy's father. Though the rep wouldn't confirm anything about Bieber, he did say they're in the process of interviewing witnesses.

I'll do my best to keep you posted as this story unfolds.
