Justin Bieber could have Ended up Like Paul Walker
Justin Bieber poses for his FIRST EVER police mug shot after being arrested for DRAG-RACING in a supercar following a drink and drugs bender.
He spent the day in custody after being busted in Miami Beach, police have confirmed.
Go back seven years and the 19-year-old was a complete dork, with a terrible fashion sense, even worse hair but a huge future in music.
It’s unfortunate that testicles drop and voices break because since growing up he’s been on a free-fall of popularity.
In recent months, he’s been cleared by cops for hit-and-run incidents, accused of speeding and caught on camera peeing into a restaurant’s mop bucket,
Add to this allegations of spitting on his own fans and reportedly being caught smoking weed, here’s what happened to the teenager since 1994.
1994
When Justin was born on March 1st 1994, Mariah Carey was number one with her tune Without You. We wouldn’t judge if you stopped reading for a moment to go and relive this song on Spotify.
2006/2007
His manager Scooter Braun spotted him on YouTube six years ago and tracked down Justin’s mum – or mom in this instance – Pattie to ask about signing him to his record label co-founded with Usher.
It’s amazing that anyone can spend longer than four minutes on the video website before watching clips of animals being absolutely hilarious, so the record executive deserves a hat tip for his commitment to find a star.
December, 2008
Just a year after he became a signed artist, Justin performed at the White House – you might have heard of it, it’s where big Prez Obama works from home.
We can just imagine Barack and Michelle making cocktails and taking turns to sing lines of Baby.
2010
He released his first full-length studio album My World 2.0 and soon after he accounted for 3% of the traffic on Twitter. That’s more traffic than the M25 in rush-hour.
He was also tipped as more influential than Barack Obama and The Dalai Lama by digital website Klout.
February, 2011
The tiny star was always sweet and smiling when speaking to fans and media but he sparked controversy following an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, where he gave his views on abortion and abstinence.
March, 2011
But hold on, who’s this lovely lady?
Justin, 16 at the time, started dating Disney Queen Selena Gomez, who was 18, and immediately everyone assumed they would be doing IT but no – far from it.
It just so happened that Selena’s favourite bling was a purity ring.
However after a few months of holding hands and possibly some over-bra topping action (try not to picture it too vividly) the ring came off! Gasp.
November, 2011
But the biggest shock of all came when Justin was slapped in the face (not literally, that would be really uncalled for) with a paternity test from a woman who he claims to have never met.
2012
Justin was given a pack of crayons and some blank paper to write his autobiography.
And in his book (which is mostly pictures) he explains his relationship with the people who chase him around the Hollywood hills: “There’s a misconception that I hate the paparazzi – I don’t, I simply don’t like the aggressive paparazzi.
May, 2012
In the same month he SENSATIONALLY admitted to ” having a beer” despite being under the legal drinking age, Justin got into an altercation with tabloid snapper when he left a cinema with Selena.
It was the start of Justin’s negative public reactions, public breakdowns and in one case offending the public.
July, 2012
Justin lacked social awareness and was apparently being a bit sweary on a flight.

Still July…

November, 2012

January, 2013
The year started with some serious news when sadly his fame – and the paparazzi obsession with him – led to a tragic accident.
Still January…
Well, well, well. Mr. Bieber. You’ve been a naughty boy.
Completely unaware that he was being snapped on a mobile phone, Justin was caught smoking a suspicious looking roll-up cigarette.
February, 2013
He told chat show host Jimmy Fallon about his constant run ins with the law: “You know what, the police really like to pull me over. I don’t do anything, I promise.”
March 1st
He was ironically burning the birthday candles at both ends on his 19th.
It was reported that the swanky London club he hosted the party – Cirque du Soir – refused his mates Jaden Smith (of Will Smith spawn fame) and his latest accessory Ella-Paige Roberts Clark for being underage.
There was also talk that the venue stank of marijuana which led to staff evicting the party members.
March 4th
Fans booed their hero after he turned up nearly TWO HOURS late on stage in London – on a school night.

January 20th
Justin Bieber’s arrest on Thursday for driving under the influence and drag racing has once again brought to the fore the dangers of speeding, and how celebrities are often placing their lives in danger by being reckless.
Justin Bieber is slowly falling from grace and fame following the latest scandal that has rocked his career. Caught under the influence of drugs and marijuana, the Canadian crooner was arrested for over speeding. With the latest DUI on the singer, could this mark the end of his career?
At age 19, teen sensation Justin Bieber mishandles career and fame, and it appears that he can’t seem to shake the spotlight. Every time Bieber turns around, he is in the news and caught acting in ways that make you look for the other shoe to drop. That Justin Bieber mishandles his career and fame is an understatement and what a shame that is.
Yes, Justin Bieber is well on the path to destroy both, career and fame. He manages his life as a reckless leader and role model for upcoming, soon-to-be-famous new artists.
I am all about second chances, and sometimes even third and fourth and fifth chances, but do you want to know where I draw the line? Preeeettty much right after that, actually. There are only so many times that I’m willing to watch someone do stupid stuff with no consequences and keep my mouth shut about it. Which is why I’m not the biggest fan of Justin Bieber.
Since Bieber’s arrest, micro blogging site Twitter has been abuzz with messages from Beliebers, as Bieber fans are called, urging the Canadian teen to be careful and not end up like Paul Walker, who died on Nov. 30 in a high-speed car crash.
