Only a total churl would not draw some inspiration from the viral marketing miracle that landed the lad's way. <br /></p><!-- // .story-sidebar --> <br />Some choice video footage shows a little boy all of five years old playing drums like a pro. By age eight he had the guitar and piano well under control. At 10, Bieber could play the trumpet, sing with note-perfect gusto and rap in a respectable enough fashion. <p>Nevertheless, he had to wait four long years before some grainy clips uploaded to YouTube - sourced from performances that only won him second place in a hometown talent quest - began to warp the world of popular culture as we know it.  </p><p>The second act of Never Say Never sees proceedings become somewhat fluffier and stuffier, as it prods those in the know for information about what it's like to be Justin Bieber right now. We hear at length from his mum Pattie (a nice lady), his grandparents (solid citizens), his childhood buddies (well-adjusted youths) and his management team (who can't quite hide that ch-ching glint in their eyes). </p><p>But strangely, we don't hear anything from Bieber at all. Though he can be witnessed joshing with his entourage from time to time, Bieber is the only participant in Never Say Never who does not directly address the filmmakers. </p><p>From this we come to learn that while much happens around Justin Bieber on a daily basis, not much happens to him. That's part of the package when you're a commodity. And it's partly sad when you recall that chirpy proto-prodigy from early in the film. </p><p>The rest of Never Say Never is pretty much what you feared it was going to be all along. During the Bieb's sell-out run at Madison Square Garden some special guest stars drop by to pay homage, push product, or both. Miley Cyrus clomps on stage throwing some very tired shapes, like the moody older sister Justin never had. </p><p>Jaden Smith might have starred in The Karate Kid, but he should be known as The Can't-Hold-A-Note Kid. At this sorry point in their career, Boyz II Men will Sing IV Food. </p><p>And there's Usher, gleefully bouncing about like anyone getting five per cent off the top of this phenomenon (for having handballed Bieber to his grateful record label) surely would. </p><p>VISIT justinbieberneversay never.com <br /> </p> <!-- google_ad_section_end(name=story_body) --> </div>

Hotel Hijinks: Crazed Fans Break Into Justin Bieber's Room

Hotel Hijinks: Crazed Fans Break Into Justin Bieber's Room: "


Justin Bieber may be adorable, but the actions of his fans can often be deplorable.


As has been well-documented, a set of crazed Beliebers have been threatening Selena Gomez ever since she started dating the singer. Now, Great Britain's Daily Mirror reports that a pair of obsessed followers actually broke into Justin's Liverpool hotel room last week.


Cutie in London


'Two girls snuck in through a side entrance and stole housekeeping outfits,' a source tells the newspaper. 'After ditching their regular clothes and slipping into their new costumes they got the lift to Justin's suite and knocked on the door... Having been allowed in, the girls began half-heartedly polishing tables and dusting surfaces.'


This all took place while Bieber was trapped in the hotel because the streets were filled with screaming fans.


Justin was not in the room as the girls giggled endlessly and were eventually discovered snapping photos of the artist's belongings. They were then 'evicted from the premises,' according to the report.


While Bieber has always been supportive and loyal to his fans, this incident left him understandably 'furious,' the insider says. He checked out that same day.

Yeah Justin Bieber Gets Waxed

Justin Bieber Gets Waxed: "


Unless you're willing to risk arrest and don a housekeeper's outfit, you probably won't get very close to Justin Bieber any time soon.


But fans can at least enjoy the next best thing, now that Madame Tussauds in London, New York and Amsterdam have unveiled wax statues of this 17-year old icon.


Justin himself posed with the British version of himself today, smiling a lot broader than the representation under his arm. Why so sad, fake Justin Bieber?!? You're about to get fawned over by millions of teenage girls...


Cutest Statue Ever

Said Bieber of this honor in February: 'To be immortalized in wax alongside some of my idols - Michael Jackson, Prince, Beyonce and my mentor, Usher - is incredibly exciting and very cool.'
