Justin Bieber news comes forth to please the rabid masses in the form of a dishy interview with Vanity Fair -- in which the Biebs discusses his signature hairdo, Will Smith‘s reading recommendations and Justin’s own hero, Michael Jackson.

But first things first: He’s nuts.

‘Just the way my brain works. I’m not normal. I think differently -- my mind is always racing. I’m just … nuts. But I think the best [musicians] probably are,’ he tells the mag.

‘Music is music, and I’m definitely influenced by Michael Jackson and Boyz II Men,’ Bieber said, adding that Tupac Shakur is among his faves. Though we’d pay to see him rock out to some ‘California Love,’ we’ll focus on those Jackson aspirations.

‘He was so broad, everybody loved him, and that’s what my goal is -- to basically make people happy, to inspire them, and to have everyone root for me,’ Bieber said.

Bieber was photographed at a private residence in Beverly Hills, where a handful of lucky fans got to participate in the VF goodness (watch a behind-the-scenes video from the shoot, above). While these gals were invited to the party, it’s often difficult for Bieber to find any privacy from his fan legion.

That’s why when Justin’s female ‘friends’ -- like, we don’t know, Selena Gomez -- want some alone time with the idol, his personal bodyguard makes it happen.

‘I feel like I’ve become an expert at covert operations,” security head Kenny Hamilton said of the lady visits that occur on Bieber’s mandatory days off (up to three per week).

Other gems from Justin’s world include his on-the-road tutoring (he hates school), during which he doesn’t read much aside from Will Smith’s recommendations, including ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad.’ Also, Justin’s mother, Pattie Mallette, is super convinced that her son is here for a reason.

Mallette says that ‘after a personal encounter with God, she believes that she and Justin have been put on earth to bring light and inspiration to the world,’ the article says.

We’d like her to elaborate on that one. See for yourself when the issue hits stands Thursday.
