Justin Bieber fires back at Marg Helgenberger for 'brat' comment; smooches Selena Gomez
Justin Bieber has yet to make a Belieber out of Marg Helgenberger, the "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" actress who said the Biebs was a "brat" when he guest starred on the CBS show.
Helgenberger, who plays investigator Catherine Willows on the series, recently dished to the radio station Europe 1 when she was asked how it was to work with the pop star.
"I shouldn't be saying this, but he was kind of a brat," Helgenberger said. "He was very nice to me. But he locked one of the producers in a closet, and he put his fist through a cake that was on the cast's table."
OK, diva much?
Bieber appeared on two episodes of "CSI," playing bad boy Jason McCann. Maybe he was just getting into character? When asked if she thought he was a good actor, Helgenberger gave a safer answer.
"Justin Bieber wasn't bad. But he'd never acted before.... He's better than you'd think," she said.
But the "Never Say Never 3D" star seems to think he was better than that.
"it's kinda lame when someone you met briefly and never worked with comments on you. I will continue to wish them luck and be kind," he tweeted Monday, adding "dont spread gossip and dont spread rumors about others...im a kid and i know that. #respect"
But he didn't stop there.
"I know who i am and sometimes people r just going 2 say what they want. Keep ur head up and be the man ur mama raised. #killemwithkindness," he wrote, which, yet again, led to the hashtag becoming a top trend on the micro-blogging site.
In other Bieber news...
-- He and girlfriend Selena Gomez were caught smooching in front of cameras in Jakarta, Indonesia, which was documented in a recent fan-shot video that recently surfaced. Watch it in slow-motion below.
-- The Biebs will be appearing in a PSA about cyberbullying in order to resolve criminal charges filed against his manager Scott Braun and Def Jam Records executive James Roppo after a cancellation of his appearance resulted in a frenzy at a Long Island, N.Y., mall in 2009. Prosecutors on Friday said they would drop the charges against both men.
-- The same Scott Braun has recently reprimanded Bieber's tour crew after they pretty much declared a mutiny over their appearance in Japan. His crew was reportedly afraid of cancer risks from the radiation leaking from the country's nuclear reactors and another earthquake/tsunami rocking the island nation during their scheduled time there.
Slash and Avril Lavigne have also canceled tour dates in Japan, but the Biebs has insisted on taking his "My World Tour" to the tsunami-ravaged country anyway.
-- Last Thursday, Australian officials charged a 17-year-old boy for breaking into Bieber's Sydney concert at Acer Arena and throwing eggs at the teen idol. The boy, who wouldn't be named because he is a minor, was charged with breaking and entering, trespassing and malicious damage for throwing several small eggs onto the stage. The eggs barely missed Bieber and his backup singers, who continued to perform despite the barrage of yolks. The teen was released on bail and is scheduled to enter a plea next month.

Didn't deny it, did he?

I just wanted to say, Justin is a prankster. Always has been. The "locking a producer in a closet" and "punching through a cake" was most likely one of his jokes. He does it all the time, and it may come off as annoying to adults because he's just a hyper kid playing jokes that adults don't find funny. I highly doubt he did all of that stuff out of spite or on purpose with the intention to hurt anyone, or be a "brat".

Bieb and Natalie both used the phrase "just a kid" -- he's not 12 years old, for crying out loud. 17 is not "just a kid" anymore...

Seems like harmless kiddy pranks...annoying...but funny/...calm down LA times... and the woman was kind of unprofessional. my opinon.

JUSTIN, You showed REAL maturity and class in your response to this UNWARRANTED attack from this immature woman. Because you are so young and successful and have accomplished more than most will in a lifetime, you are an easy target for those who are insecure about their own career and future potential in life...
Keep being the talented, fun, smart, lovable, generous, inspiring young man you are......and this is coming from an ADULT, not a teen. YOU ARE AWESOME! KEEP YOUR HEAD UP! The people criticizing you have most likely done worse things at your age, and based on their present behavior, THEY never became a better person for it....so you are ahead of them in terms of growth as a human being. WE LOVE AND SUPPORT YOU. GOD BLESS!

Wow Marge, I though you had more class than this. To be gossipping like a little school-girl about a teenager who has said nothing but GREAT things about you and the people on your show? That is beneath a woman of your advanced age....
JB is a prankster, we all know that, but he means no harm,and didn't deserve to be thrown under the bus like this. How'd Marge like it if an adult spoke publicly and negatively of HER kids behavior? Marge said JB was nice to her..so she IS lame to insult him.

Oh yes 17 is "just a kid". He's under-age and acts like it, and that makes him a kid. Until he turns 21, or outgrows the stupid childish behavior, or both, he's a kid.
And this whole act with Miss Gomez is just as childish. I'm still convinced that it's an arranged hookup in a rather weak attempt to make him appear "older" and not gay.

And Justin isent the best actor but he still tryed so that old lady shouldent be judging . And justin , Selena get a room Theres fans infront of you and they have eyes . Jelena= gross !
Posted by: Grace | May 09, 2011 at 09:31 PM
She barely even offended him, if he was mature it shouldn't have bothered him. He's obviously still a little boy, considering he hides behind the "just a kid" excuse. Dude, you're 17 years old, let's be serious.

Dang, Marg Helgenberger has aged into a total grandma; ay carumba! Redheads, go fig.

To make excuses for this teens unprofessional behavior is part of the problem. Because he "thinks" he is someone, does not excuse such behavior. Would his mother laugh if she bought a cake for him with her hard earned money (and not the easy money he takes for granted) and he smashed it? Would a teacher laugh if he locked him in a closet? I think not! I am sure he would probably be expelled! Locking his peers in the closet MAY be more acceptable - but then they just might give him what he deserves (something an adult cannot without being charged with abuse) He clearly has not been raised with any manners and I am sure if Marg's child was there ... he/she would have acted properly - because clearly his mother has class!

He maybe 17 but he looks acts and sings like a 12 year old girl
Posted by: dg | May 10, 2011 at 01:19 AM
JB- Yeah, I did! lmao
very interesting observation there, K and Grace "Jelena= gross" c'mon really?
Posted by: that's news | May 10, 2011 at 01:57 AM
He's not a kid. He is 17! This just shows what a jerk he really is and the fact that Selena is dating him makes me wonder if she isn't a jerk too. If I acted like this my parents would spank me.

I have friends who work on CSI. He punched a cake set out for the crew, dipped his arm in a large bucket of ice for drinks, wiped it all off on a towel,and stomped off of stage. nothing about being a prankster there, just a spoilded little brat.

No, he didn't deny it and you Belibers need to get your collecytive heads out of your rear ends. He is a punkl brat and you are mindless followers.

I would just like to point out that a rumor is when you repeat something somebody else said that is unverified. Telling somebody what you personally witnessed is an observation and not a rumor.
I wish to donate to the defense fund of the egg thrower also!
