The One About Justin Beiber

Ok, this is priceless too…Justin Beiber is convinced he has street cred:

Last November a female fan of teenage sensation Justin Bieber was hospitalized after chaos broke out at an album signing in New York.  Security personnel were overwhelmed when more than 1,000 screaming fans showed up at the Roosevelt Field shopping mall in Long Island. Mall guards were unable to keep the fans under control and event organizers deemed it too unsafe to bring Bieber out, prompting the  signing to be cancelled altogether.

Bieber took to Twitter to plead with fans to go home and avoid getting caught up in the trouble. He wrote: “The event at Roosevelt mall is cancelled. please go home. the police have already arrested one person from my camp. I don’t want anyone hurt.”

I wonder if he has a ghetto pass?  I think my favorite bit is the opening sentence… “chaos broke out”.

What is it about this kid that inspires a gag reflex? I didn’t know he existed up until 12 days ago– when Funny Or Die became Beiber Or Die for April Fool’s Day. At the time I wondered, who the f*ck is Justin Beiber? I want to return to that blissful ignorance.

And its not like the Stones at Altamont. People died trying to hear great music (Santana, The Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, CSN). This is a bunch of texting, tweeting, teens who are deaf from iPod earbud and wearing hideous ill fitting muffin-top jeans clawing each other to see Bieber. I weep for today’s youth.

Holly – 2:31pm All I know is that we are the only two people in the world who do not know who this overrated embryo is.  Oh, and I think he was on SNL last Saturday.  You know, if more people would die trying to hear shit music then maybe people would be less incline to make it.

Somehow this kid is everywhere now.  I can’t escape. Now he’s trying to separate himself from Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers telling MTV News why he’s different from those acts: “I think it’s because I didn’t go through the Disney route. I didn’t go corny, but, like, at the same time I’ve been cool and collected.”

I got news for ya, Justin.   You’re corny.  You’re playing shopping malls, not sold out arenas.  Last November, it was a mall in Long Island later this month you’re headed for Australia to play… a shopping mall.

Teen sensation Justin Bieber’s only planned public show in Australia has been canceled with the star now playing behind glass for his own safety.  Fans are reported to have reacted wildly to the news Bieber was due to perform at a shopping center in Sydney’s west on April 25, forcing a change of plans. The 16-year-old Canadian will now be protected from his teen admirers with an appearance behind a glass window in Channel 7′s Sydney city center studio at Martin Place.

I hope he enjoys being the latest flash in the pan teen sensation.  Leif Garrett, Color Me Bad, 98 Degrees, NSYNC, anyone?
