Okay, okay, I have really tried to not say anything about Justin Bieber....basically because everyone else is all about him and he is everywhere!!! I am so tired of seeing his smiling mugshot picture or his hat backwards on his head.
Is it all hype? A wonderful marketing plan to keep him in the spotlight, have him shed his babyface looks and good behavior and turn him into......oh no....Mylie Cyrus!!!
Hannah Montana he ain't but he is a young boy from a small Canadian town who was discovered on Youtube. It's a Cinderella story but as soon as he hit his stride....or at least legal age...he said he wanted to party hard, get tattooed, play with hookers and not listen to his handlers. Keep in mind here that his manager is actually called "Scooter."
So, our Lil Bieb buys a 6.5 million dollar 'house' in an upscale, gated community of Los Angeles. City of Angels. Where he speeds down the roadways and tosses eggs at his neighbours house. He parties hard with some of his 'friends', Lil Za, and Lil Scrappy, for example.....and his FATHER! Yes, his extremely mature 38 year old dad who is just hanging on for the ride of his life...living off his son. But at least he does know to wear his hat with the peak toward the front....
Lately Justin has had a run of bad luck....as in....getting caught doing stupid things. Really Justin.... urinating in a mop bucket in a New York restaurant??? Or like driving without a license in Florida where he admitted to drinking and doing drugs.....the legal age in Florida is 21 and he is 19. The drugs, well.... are his MOM'S! I guess Patti can't handle the stress of success and had some anti-depressants lying about. I don't know if Justin helped himself or it was a recommendation from his 'better' parent that he pop a few while drinking and smoking dope and then getting behind the wheel of a fast car. Of course when he was pulled over for "drag racing" at the speed of 55 mph he exclaimed to the policeman:
"Why the f--k are you doing this? What the f--k did I do? Why did you stop me?"
But I think in his head, when the policeman told him he was doing 55 mph, he thought:
"Whoooaaa, really! Like, man, I thought I was goin' a LOT faster......"
Another excellent adventure Ted.....
With his three 'adults' guiding him I am amazed he has made it this far! Patti also published a book, in case you missed it or want to buy it - Nowhere But Up - The Story of Justin Bieber's Mom. Well, Patti, the way things are going there could be an opposite of Up.
Does the little guy have so much money that even if he does self destruct mom and dad will still be set for life? Probably...so party on dudes.
Justin's last album was a flop and his latest concert film Believe, grossed just over $6 million, which in the business - isn't good. And the fact that he has been doing this for five years and his fan base is now almost out of high school and having mad crushes on real live people they know or the next up and comers in the music industry does not bode well for our Canadian lad.
Twice now he has TWEETED that he is about to give it all up and "retire." Really Justin....and do what? Start a clothing line? Advertise for cologne? Put your shirt on, straighten your hat, pull up your pants, ditch your friends, stop hiring hookers and stop thinking you are black, bad and from the ghetto.You are a little white boy who got extremely lucky.
Things I've learned this week or perhaps a few weeks ago:
My husband was in the mall at Christmas and noticed the Salvation Army lady with her familiar plastic globe awaiting donations. He went over to her and said jokingly, "If you ring your bells I'll give you some money." AND she told him she couldn't because they would upset the store owners.
WHAT??? The quintessential sound of Christmas is not allowed because it is upsetting to the renters of the mall??? BUT I AM FORCED to go into, say West 49, and be subjected to Kanye West singing about how "One good girl is worth a thousand bitches." and "I want to f*** you hard on the sink." REALLY!!!!

"Philip Seymour Hoffman was an outstanding actor." This is a direct quote from one of the hundreds of people who have tweeted, email, commented, texted....since his death. Personally I found the guy a little creepy and didn't think his acting was 'that good." In fact, when it stated he was in the Hunger Games I actually had to look up his character because I didn't remember him being in it. So, what did I learn - well, when they say you have everything - acting ability, awards and admiration of your fellows - it also includes some deep, dark demons.
