Bieber, so called celebrity
 

I hope he stays in jail till he gets grey, that will keep all of us save

beaver?????

Leave it to "Bieber" :coolsmiley:

Hey Walley that you:a040:

Does anyone here listen to the news, guess not. Justin Beaver arrested, Miami judge must have been star struck, $2500. bail.

Money means nothing to Beaver chunk change, he now can come into our neighborhoods speeding.

If you photoshopped that yourself Kayaker, good job! :coolsmiley:

You can see his appearance before the judge on the CNN web site. The state attorney asked the judge for the standard bond for the charges against Bieber. The standard bond for the 3 charges is $2,500. So he got the same bond anybody else would have gotten under the circumstances.

We watched Brittney Spears, then Lyndsey Lohan, now the Bieber. Guess we will always have these idiot children trying to grow into their fame in front of our eye. It really is pathetic. As gross as Miley Cyrus is at least she hasn't gotten in trouble with the law YET!

At some point in their career, a young super-star may feel the need to project the "bad-boy" image. This may be carefully crafted publicity to keep girls of a certain age tuned in. I could be wrong, but this is what I suspect.

and so who were this punk wanna be's role models?
Don't bother!

He is merely operating on the premise of getting folks to know his name
(unfortunately we already know) then try to correct the reputation.

A very good example of what society gets with one who uses drugs....and with the new growing legal status what is to stop them? Nothing.

It is too bad the media chooses to show this side of humanity instead of the more abundant choices of those doing what is right.

He certainly is not a celebrity.....just an out of control, wealthy punk (and I am working oh so hard to be polite!!!!!!!!)

Wish we could send him back to Canada or make him persona non grata as some other countries have.

I agree that Miley Cyrus is gross. She hasn't been arrested yet, but I think she is on a slippery slope. A lot of her songs are glamorizing drugs, she is very fond of "molly" which is ecstasy. I hate to think that young girls admire her and want to be like her.

The sad thing is that there is a large population of Teenage girls who grew up as childhood fans of Bieber and Miley Cyrus [ then Hannah Montana ] .

Both have evolved to become very sad examples of how to comport themselves as young " adults " . The late Amy Winehouse was another who appealed to young girls / teens . Then there is also " Lady GaGa " for them to look up to . Great examples each .

I like Lady GaGa. I think she's a hoot.

The 3 charges are Misdemeanors in Florida. :ohdear:

Justin Bieber is a pathetic excuse for a human being. My suggestion ... he should enlist in the USMC for a few years and do his best to become a real person.

The unfortunate thing is that he is a child who has been explointed at a very young age by his mother, promoters and agents. If you want to condemn somone condemn them. The same goes for Lindsey Lohan who has worked in the industry since she was a very young child and used by her drug addicted parents as a moneymaker. It's no wonder these kids go off the rails. God help them.

maybe it will take a today type or a permissive or liberal or a loosey goosey conservative to explain to me why one like this person with all the fame and fortune devolve to the lower side, scummy life style?

Maybe that is what happens when one goes from diapers to fame and fortune. I wonder how the likes of Shirley Temple (for lack of a better example) made it without living in the gutter??

It is a sad reflection on America when we are passing trillions of dollars of dept to our children and grand-children yet collectively as a society we are making multi millionaires out of snotting nose kids like this one or stars like A-Rod.

Too much money, too soon in life, coupled with poor or AWOL parenting.

Justin Bieber and some of the so called celebrities today are only FAWNED over by the same types that they are. You could put Justin's talent in a thimble and still have room for your thumb. All he can do is look over the top of his sunglasses. He wouldn't last 3 days in any branch of the military, and those of us who WERE IN know to what I refer.
So my rant is over, Justin will do as Justin does, we just have to choose to be taken by it or not. Hoorah!

When we were growing up scandals ruined careers (Lana Turner, Lenny Bruce, Errol Flynn, Tony Curtis) now it seems to be a path to fame and just another publicity opportunity.

As a society we spend far too much money on Entertainment. Stop supporting movie actors and professional athletes. And yes, that means stop watching the movies and series on TV, and stop watching sports, professional and collegiate.
That means, Baseball, Football, Basketball, Hockey, Soccer, Golf, and yes even NASCAR.

Instead of buying season tickets or even one ticket to a game. Donate the money to your local school.

I have something in common with JB; I'm also a foreigner and a guest in your country (and The Villages).
I, on the other hand, have a deep respect for the laws of the land and hope to remain a welcome guest by abiding well within the legislated parameters.
This piece of crap has made millions as a guest in your country but openly flouts your drug laws and your alcohol consumption/possession laws. It's time to take out the trash and deport his sorry "arse" back North!

:agree::agree:.... YOU ARE SO SO RIGHT!!!

I have no idea about Shirley Temple since she was WAY before my time.

However, I do not blame the artist for becoming richer than you or I could ever hope to become. If they did not have the fans, they would not be celebrity artists. If the fans (little girls and boys - pre-teen and young teens) did not buy the CDs and music, there would not be money for the artists. If the parents did not give money to the kids, well, that is the situation...

Bare, I am afraid you are just going to have to take JB back home with you this summer.:ohdear:

Much ado about nothing.

I'd be surprised if Canada wants him back. He is like Rob Ford, the mayor of Toronto ... a total embarrassment to Canada! :22yikes:

I say keep Bieber in the USA and put him in the military!

To me it's a no-brainer why this is so: This is what Americans are interested in and what they buy into! I'm not saying this is true for every single American, but the media are in business to make money, and they know what sells. In reality, the public chooses and the media accommodate! And this is the level we have sunk to....

Spoiled brat needs to grow up but I'm afraid that's way in the future.

Way of the future? Do you really think this type of behavior by celebrities is something new?

Hmm…. Justin Bieber is 19 years old. What did we do when we were in this age? Excuses not necessary, but it isn't the speeding what JB brought into our mind, it is what we call NEWS. Is it necessary to bring up such kind of news into the forefront and judging about what we know about we heard?
Sorry, I do not feel already so old that I can go with that and have to watch what is going on with him. It is a case for the police in Miami Dade.

Please, Amy Winehouse was no teeny-bopper pop star. My guess is that you've never heard much, if any of her music or else you would know that. As a jazz/soul singer-songwriter she had a true, unique talent......something that Bieber and Cyrus seriously lack. It's just really sad that she couldn't overcome her demons & died so young.

[QUOTE The late Amy Winehouse was another who appealed to young girls / teens . Then there is also " Lady GaGa " for them to look up to . Great examples each .[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I agree. Kids today should have great role models like we had. You know, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Keith Moon, Jimi Hendrix. Wait, what am I saying they friggin' killed themselves also.

THIS could explain everything.

:1rotfl:

I don't get it. Babe Ruth was an alcoholic who was known to play ball drunk. Erroll Flynn was a womanizer and heavy drinker. James Dean was killed speeding. Thomas Jefferson had a slave mistress. Elvis was a pill popping junkie. We idolize these men.

Justin Bieber is a 19 YO kid with a lot of money. Yes, he's going to make mistakes and do really, really stupid things. Show me a 19 YO who doesn't and I'll show you a 19 YO who's afraid of life. Let the kid grow up before you condemn him.
