Yeah right! No one's given me a second glance in 10 years, unless you count single women my age at the grocery store, and I did have a guy my age who seemed to take more than a passing interest in my stainless steel garbage can in the parking lot of "Bed Bath & Beyond". Maybe he knew his wife was a slow shopper?
Why CSI, why??
lame.
I always figured a show was in trouble when it had to bring a celeb on.
I think it'll drive viewers away. I sure as shit won't be watching that one...
I don't even know if kids would even watch something like CSI regardless of Bieber being a guest star.
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] Didn't know that was a thing...
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Justin Bieber left many young girls breathless before and during his sold-out show at the Sprint Center Wednesday, but there was also another group outside the venue that riled parents up.On Grand Boulevard outside Sprint Center, some parents and members of the Westboro Baptist Church clashed over the controversial church's protest of the show."You're a shame that you think you can walk around this god-forsaken country and treat people that way," one mother screamed at the protesters.The Westboro Baptist Church has been known more for protesting military funerals, but took aim at the 16-year-old teen heartthrob and received plenty of push back from the parents bringing their children to the concert."He has not done anything wrong," Kansas City parent Amber Heavner said. "He's here to entertain the public, I guess just like she's here to entertain the public. He has not done anything wrong. These are children ... these are children ... my children can read, my children can see, my children can see that she's got signs that say 'God hates America!'"Kansas City, Kan., parent Meyers said she didn't need her kids seeing the signs held up by the protesters."This is the last thing my kids need to see," Meyers said. "God doesn't hate anyone. It's insane. It makes me really mad."It wasn't just mothers weighing in on the their kids being exposed to the demonstration."I was a little perturbed, and I just tried to focus on at the concert and not look over there," Kansas City parent Scott Magdziak said. "I'll explain to them what's right and try to not look over there."The demonstration only lasted for about 45 minutes and before much of the crowd filed into the show.
Word going around the literary crowd is that Justin Bieber is publishing a memoir. HE'S 16. How would your memoir have read at age 16?

Some may say Mark Wahlberg (Marky Mark) was the Justin Bieber of the '80s (albeit less squeaky-clean).
Now an established actor, the Boogie Nights star first cut his teeth in showbiz as an early member of boy band New Kids on the Block, but ditched the group to form Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch.
Soon, his face (and ab-tastic torso modelling Calvin Klein underwear) was plastered across every teenage girl's room from Vancouver to Reykjavik.
The musical bad-boy later swapped his "Good Vibrations" singing shtick for a successful Hollywood career.
Now, it's been reported that the star would consider returning to his pop/rap roots if he was asked to do a collaboration with the Beebs himself.
Marky Mark reportedly told New York Post gossip column Page Six, "If Justin Bieber asks me, I'll say yes. Only because my daughter loves him."
Speaking of Bieber fever, does the floppy-haired pop star have a future on the big screen? Looks like Bieber has been breaking into acting himself, lately.

A group of Seminole High School students got a surprise today â?? 16-year-old pop wunderkind Justin Bieber, fresh off an Orlando show, showed up at an assembly.
Justin Bieber, who performed at Orlandoâ??s Amway Arena in a sold-out concert Wednesday night, presented the school with a $5,000 donation from Best Buy and the Grammy Foundation. The money will be used on the schoolâ??s music program.
He had a music-loving audience: The students at the Sanford school were there as part of a summer band camp.
â??The students had no idea I was coming, and it was fun to completely surprise them,â? Bieber said in a statement. â??I was excited about this opportunity to team up with Best Buy and the Grammy Foundation to raise awareness around the important cause of funding music education programs in schools. I talked to students about pursuing their passion in music and encouraging them to keep doing what theyâ??re doing.â?
The program expands on the Grammy Foundationâ??s support of music education by teaming with Best Buyâ??s philanthropic efforts and Best Buy Mobile resources. Through these efforts, the Best Buy Childrenâ??s Foundation has pledged nearly $1 million in funds and in-kind services to at-risk music education programs in schools across the country.
â??It was great to genuinely stun the kids with a surprise appearance from Justin Bieber,â? said Best Buy Mobile president Shawn Stone. â??Justin is an influential musician and role model, and to have him take part in this event demonstrates the significance of supporting music and arts education programs in schools and the positive impact music has on todayâ??s youth.â?
Bieberâ??s special appearance was part of a weeklong celebration for Best Buy Mobile in the Orlando area. Best Buy Mobileâ??s milestone 100th store opened Wednesday at Seminole Towne Center mall, located near the school.

It was announced this week that 16 year old pop star Justin Bieber will be writing a memoir about his life and will star in a 3D movie about himself.
Enjoy it while you can, kid.
It's too soon to tell whether he will be a star when he becomes an adult, but the odds are against him.
For every Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder, Justin Timberlake, Drew Barrymore, and Jodie Foster, who were able to achieve stardom throughout their lives, there are hundreds of child and teen stars who fizzled out-David Cassidy, Shaun Cassidy, Bobby Sherman, Debbie Gibson, Leif Garrett, Backstreet Boys, New Kids on the Block, Aaron Carter, Bay City Rollers, Hanson, Fabian, Menudo, Macaulay Culkin, Corey Haim, Dustin Diamond, Haley Joel Osment, Gary Coleman, the Brady Bunch Kids, etc. Has anyone seen Justin Guarini lately?
Bieber seems like he's fairly grounded and level headed, but the odds of long term success are still against him. Now he sells out 20,000 seat stadiums to see him lip sync his songs, but there's a decent chance that 40 years from now Bieber fever will become the sniffles, and he'll be playing in front of 500 people in casino lounges and free outdoor concerts. Don't laugh -- David Cassidy, the former Partridge Family teen idol who had Beatle-like popularity in the early 1970s, played a free outdoor concert last year in Bensalem, Pa. Leif Garrett, the former '70s teen star, has had a history of drug abuse and will be appearing in the next VH1 Celebrity Rehab series. As Garrett once said, "If there is anything I would tell anybody in this profession, it is never believe your own press."
Of course, some former child stars went on to live happy lives despite not achieving fame as adults. Even though Jerry Mathers reached his professional peak as a child actor on Leave it to Beaver, he still looks back fondly on those days. As he said on CNN's Larry King, "You know, I consider it a great blessing. I was very, very lucky to -- you know, it's something that has served me all my life. I was lucky to have the education I did on the show. I made a great deal of money. It served me all my life. It served me very, very well. So it's something I'm very proud of."
The key to enduring success seems to be the ability to grow and transform as an artist. Musicians like the Beatles, Madonna, Michael Jackson, and Stevie Wonder were able to evolve and didn't remain stuck in a musical rut. Justin Bieber singing "Baby, baby, baby..." 30 years from now probably won't work, except for his most diehard fans. He'll need to evolve.
Right now, Justin Bieber is on top of the world. Young girls love him and most teen boys would trade places with him in a second. No doubt, he has talent, a great voice, and a strong personal connection to his audience through social media like Twitter. But will Bieber have a long, enduring, successful career? Or will he join the long list of former child and teen stars in rehab or worse? Twenty years from now, if he is short, fat, and bald, without any hair to flip around, will his adoring teen girl fans still love him? Only time will tell, but many industry experts think he might be one of the lucky few who are able to do it.
Yahoo! Music editor Billy Johnson, Jr. recently told CNN, "Timberlake crossed over on so many platforms, and in a lot of ways, Bieber is doing that now, by working with Ludacris. You never know what will happen, but if he keeps a level head and allows his music to grow naturally, he'll be OK."
I'm surprised no one has noticed the resemblance:

Elle Magazine
Apparently, the show host is not a huge fan of the seductive Elle photos featuring the E! reality star and singing sensation.
O'Reilly called the pictures inappropriate during his show Friday and commented that when he was a teenager, his dreams were not of taking photos with a gorgeous older woman.
"I wanted to be a baseball player [when I was 16]. I didn't want to hang around with Kim Kardashian...I had a baseball bat and a bat and [a pair of] ice skates! That's what I was doing."
Sounds realistic, Bill.
His panelists had a few words of their own about the magazine spread.
"I think it's gross," Republican strategist Margaret Hoover said. "It's a 16-year-old having an affair with a celebutante!"
For some reason, we think many 16-year-old boys wouldn't mind being "gross" nowadays.
Frankly, I don't know who side to take for this one: Bieber and Kardashian or O' Reilly...
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] Didn't know that was a thing...
Bieber fever...don't they have a shot for that?
saw him on VMA's last night and all I can say is "Blah"
NOT impressed at all...with his performance or speaking skills...when will his 15 minutes be up???
Ditto! I'm sure he's in many ways a typical teen, and most teens don't have a lot of experience speaking in public or organizing their thoughts for a press conference ahead of time, but he is a public figure, so you'd hope hed' have PR people or _somebody_ working with him! He just screams "flash in a pan" to me. Maybe he'll completely shock his critics (including me ) by reinventing himself at some point, but I don't see it.
Seriously, CSI??? Maybe he will play the dead guy. Hopefully.
Okay this is just too funny to pass up. Actor Gordon Pinsent reads Bieber:

Holiday? Hard-working Justin Bieber is busy promoting his book, headphones... and nail varnish
It might be a national holiday, but Justin Bieber didn't build up his empire by relaxing.
As teenagers around the U.S. hit the malls and relaxed in front of the Thanksiving television, the 16-year-old pop sensation was hard at work.
The young performer was on NBC's The Today Show to promote several new accomplishments.
To forever: Justin Bieber talks to the Today Show about his new autobiography
With an eye to building up his fortune, the business-minded teen has begun to expand his reach beyond his singing career with a new autobiography, a new set of Bieber headphones and even a range of nail polishes.
Talking about how he is adapting to his recent fame he said: 'My family and I are just taking one step at a time. It's just been amazing.'
He told the host that despite his success he has no intention of slowing down.
'I see myself doing this for a long time,' he said.
Single? Just refuses to answer if he has a girlfriend or not
But there was one subject which turned Bieber silent - his love life.
When quizzed over any girlfriends the pop star laughed and joked, 'Er, Can I pass?'
He was recently spotted kissing fellow singer Jasmine Vallegas, who is also his warm up act on tour.
And according to internet stories, he spent Thanksgiving with fellow teen star Selena Gomez.
Multi-tasker: Bieber then headed to Barnes & Noble in New York to promote his book, and also plugged his ear phones
Justin's new book, Justin Bieber: First Step 2 Forever: My Story chronicles his young life, rise to fame and his experiences as a teenage superstar.
Justin is also due to release an acoustic album just in time for Christmas.
After this morning's TV interview he headed off to yet another promotional event, plugging both his book and earphones at a signing at a Barnes & Noble book store.
He needs to sit down and have a long chat with Donny Osmond.
Fortunately my good taste in music has prevented me from ever hearing anything Justin B has ever done...
This kid is just plain creepy!!! Spawn of Satan I think!!!
My 12 year old niece thinks he is the greatest. She has posters of him, a t-shirt, and other stuff. The first time she mentioned him, I played dumb and pretended I didn't know who he was. I asked her "who is Justin Beaver?" Man, she was pissed! She thought I was making fun of him. I think he will be old news in a couple of years, like Hannah Montana is. Thank God that dipshit lost her popularity. I got so tired of seeing her goofy face on everything!
The Drug Lords like his too

That is so bizarre! Being a drug lord and Justin Bieber fan seems like polar opposites to me. Wonder if the drug lord is embarrassed that his little secret is out?
Justin Bieber could no longer use his cell phone recently, after his mom canceled his phone plan.
Despite his fame and success, the U Smile singer still gets punished if he's in the wrong - as he recently found out!
During a radio interview in the UK this week, Justin spoke about his time on the road with his mom. He said: "I think every parent and son argue but I love my mom, she's awesome.
"I think that it's good that she travels with me (but) sometimes I need a break because she's with me 24/7," he explained.
Recalling a recent punishment his mom gave him, Justin revealed: "The other day she canceled my phone plan.
"We just got into an argument about something stupid and then she was like, 'Give me your phone!' And I was like no, so then she went and canceled it! Tough!"
Canadian teen idol Justin Bieber missed an appearance on one of Germany's top rated television shows as it was cut short by a stunt that went badly wrong.
Broadcaster ZDF said the live broadcast of "Wetten Dass" (Bet it...?) game show had to be canceled Saturday evening after contestant Samuel Koch was severely injured while trying to jump over a moving car driven by his father with the help of special shoes featuring a suspension system.
The 16-year-old Bieber later said on his Twitter account: "Please pray for Samuel Koch & his family as we wait and hope for his health and safety."
The singer added on Twitter he felt sorry for not performing in Germany, but "some things are more important than putting on a show. We will be back I promise."
"Wetten dass," which has been on TV for almost 30 years, is one of the country's most successful shows, and German media reported Saturday's show had an audience of about 10 million.
The show also was to include a gig by singer Robbie Williams, and Phil Collins, Cher or actress Cameron Diaz were among the guests, according to the broadcaster's website.
The 23-year-old Koch suffered multiple back injuries and fractures, underwent surgery Sunday, and his condition was no longer life threatening, the German news agency DPAD quoted Duesseldorf hospital Dr. Wolfgang Raab as saying.
But it remained unclear if or when Koch would fully recover since "he is in an extremely critical stage," Raab told journalists.
Read a little blurb on CNN.com that this little boy who needs a haircut like last year is going into country music. Please, for the love of Brooks & Dunn, don't. One twatwaffle (Taylor "Twit" Swift) in the genre is way more than enough. I change channels when Baby Boy or Twit show up on my radio or tv. Twit moves around on stage like she's got something stuck up her a$$, and thinks she sounds so smart for a 20 year old high school dropout. I don't care if she did the whole GED routine, she still DROPPED OUT of school. So, she's not real SWIFT, as her suname implies or would have us believe she is. The lights are on but no one is home.
Forget going country, he needs to go to the friggin' time-out chair.
I've seen so many of these kids come and go. Remember Jonathan Taylor Thomas?
Justin might get a few more years out of his career going "country" But it's a novelty to appeal to kids. Sells t-shirts I guess.
It's like the record/TV producers develop the concept and plug a kid into it.
Best the young person can do is try to hang on to the money and go to school.
I wish he would just go bye-bye into obscurity (sp?) I am sick of looking at him. It amazes me how people can be singers/entertainers anymore with no talent at all!
