Rehab at 19? Doesn’t look good for the over/under on my “Gone Before 30” death pool.
Course I was wrong about Brittney Spears.
Fame kills the stupid.
Isn’t it illegal to possess alcohol if your under 21?
Isn’t it illegal to smoke/possess pot?
If he played his cards right, he'd never have to work another day in his life. Or he can surround himself with a bunch of jobless thugs helping him burn through his fortune on mansions and Ferraris, designer clothes and jewelry and he most certainly will have to find work again.
The transition from teen heartthrob to adult stardom is a difficult one. For every Justin Timberlake there's a hundred others who's fame has faded away and who's money vanished. The entertainment industry chews these kids up and spits 'em out. In a few years, Bieber will be "long in the tooth" at 22-23 years old and there will be some other fresh-faced teen waiting in the wings to take his place.
Isnt it illegal to smoke/possess pot?
You think this has ever stopped teens from drinking and smoking weed? It doesn't today and it didn't 30 years ago when me and my friends were doing the same thing (albeit with far less money than Beiber has).

Best line of the day!!! Awesome!!!
Now this is nothing new. Back when I was growing up, the girls were screaming their lungs out for girly boys like Leif Garrett. Who ironically had his own issues and today looks like he was dragged across 30 miles of bad road on his face. (Google up his picture and see for yourself.)
Now many here seem to take a delight in the troubles of this Justin Beieber. Remember though that he is just a boy who has been spoiled rotten. If I was a teen star at 16 and had the entire female world throwing themselves at me, the success would go to my head as well and I'd get to thinking I was somebody quite special and that the rest of the world existed to serve my every want and desire.
Why would our society put such young vulnerable people in such a position? This kid should be in a regular school living a regular life. OK, maybe he's 19 now and legally an adult. But this teen celebrity nonsense started several years ago when he was but a child, did it not?
With so much material to choose from, he should be able to find the mirror that shows him and his future.
True, but Bieber makes Leif Garrett, Bobby Sherman, David Cassidy, even Donny Osmond look like the Marlboro Men in comparison.
and he still sucks.
“Justin Biebers handlers fear the pop star is spiralling out of control. “
We won’t know it’s really bad until he starts doing covers of Amy Winehouse tunes.
