Justin Bieber’s European tour continues, and as the days go on, it’s reminding me more and more of old-school Britney Spears. I’m old, so I remember when Britney first started going off the rails circa 2003-04. Of course that version of “off the rails” wasn’t as bad as Britney 2006-08, but it was around 2004 that everything began to really fall apart. It was K-Fed, but it was so much more than that too. Britney had taken a “break” – one of the first “breaks” she’d ever had in her young career, and then after she took some time off, she tried to go on tour and it was just disaster after disaster. Does anyone else remember that? Anyway, that’s what Justin Bieber is reminding me of these days. Following his utterly chaotic week in London and the weirdness surrounding his cancellation of one of two Portugal shows, Justin is now in Paris. And the energy is still… sketchy.
Justin was staying at Hotel La Meurice in Paris… until multiple reports claimed he had been kicked out of the establishment for bad behavior, bad attitude and “blatant encouragement of fans waiting outside led to him being evicted.” But maybe it’s not what we think? Because a spokesperson for the hotel says, “Justin Bieber had indeed left the establishment to go elsewhere, but we do not know where… But this is a decision made by him or his team. We do not turn people away.” And Justin’s rep had a different story too:
It’s not easy being the Biebs. Justin Bieber was forced to leave his luxury Parisian hotel, the iconic Hotel Le Meurice, on Monday, March 18, after word got out that the “Beauty And A Beat” singer was staying there during his visit to the City of Lights.
Hundreds of Beliebers turned out to the hotel in an attempt to catch a glimpse of Bieber, but his devoted fans ended up doing more harm than good. TV and radio personality Jean-Marc Morandini took to his blog shortly after the incident to share the latest Bieber news.
“Justin Bieber has just been kicked out of the Meurice Hotel in Paris,” he wrote. “It was a decision taken by the management of the luxury hotel because of his attitude in the establishment, and because of the nuisance caused by the presence of his fans around the buildings.”
Bieber, 19, reportedly booked a whopping seven suites across two floors for himself and his large entourage, a reservation that likely cost well into the six figures.
Unfortunately for the singer, however, he wasn’t able to enjoy the perks of the hotel, which boasts a star-studded clientele, including Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Beyonce and Jay-Z, and Madonna, as well as members of the British Royal Family.
“There were kids everywhere screaming and shouting, and the other guests just didn’t like it,” a source tells Us of the scene. “Justin was clearly encouraging his fans — that’s something he has to do.”
Bieber was later spotted checking into another luxury Parisian establishment, the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. But claims that the 19-year-old pop star’s behavior was to blame for his ouster are unfounded, Bieber’s rep tells Us exclusively.
“Justin was not kicked out of the hotel. He decided to transfer to the Mandarin Oriental when there wasn’t enough security at the hotel to control the crowds,” the rep tells Us. “There wasn’t even an underground entrance for him at the other hotel and the security was too lax given the size of the crowds.”
“Plus there was no garage,” the rep added. “Very unsafe situation for Justin and the fans. Over 500 kids bombarded the hotel.”
The singer is set to perform at the Palais Omnisports in Paris-Bercy on Tuesday, March 19, as part of his Believe world tour.
I would be very interested in seeing the “crowds” of fans waiting for Bieber, because in London, Justin repeated claimed that the UK crowds were stifling him, but every time he left his hotel during the day, it seemed like there were only a handful of people waiting for him. But what do I know? I’m sure there are rabid French Beliebers. Is it weird that the image that just came to mind was of a French tween wearing a beret, smoking a cigarette and muttering, “We do not care for this gauche Canadian”?

They probably wanted him to PULL HIS PANTS UP!
That’s certainly what I want!
Not sure he knows there ARE other people.
I’ve seen that top picture a few times now and have a question: is he too good to get himself out of a car, or are his baggy pants preventing him from exiting a vehicle like a grown up?
the bodyguard is trying to stop him punching the photographer – incident last week, I think
Yes and yes. He needs assistance getting into his carseat. This whole thing smacks of substance abuse. Coke and Sizzurp.
His getup = Icecream boy
He had to be burped first, then put in his car seat haha!
I won’t even wink if he pass by if not for that ugly pants. Just ridiculous
That first pic reminds me of the movie Little Man. It does look like he is a tiny little man being helped out of the vehicle. He will go downhill just like Britney and Lindsey is he continues to surround himself with these thugs he’s hanging with. It seems as if it’s already starting.
Britney and Lindsay are two different cases. One got help for her mental problems, the other is an insufferable brat. Justin is the latter
Was just going to say that! Don’t put Britney and Lindsay in the same category. Totally different. 🙂
I hate myself for seeing this but WHAT is going on with his crotch in the last pic? He has man camel toe. Manel Toe if you will. Is he stuffing?
That would be “moose knuckle.”
lol@ manel toe hahaha! I swear these Bieber posts are awesome!
Looking at Lindsey Lohan’s tax returns and the picture above, my mother was right; Money does not buy class.
If it’s taken you this long to come to that conclusion, you obviously aren’t familiar w/Paris Hilton or the ‘Kardashian/Jenner’ family. n_n
They always go nutty on the European tours, I remember Britney’s tour (when she filmed her reality show
for UPN) that’s when it all started. Justin’s going to shave his head and get his umbrella out any day now!
Please make it go away. Deport it, a la Sandra Bullock’s character in The Proposal.
Yes, I remember Britney’s early drama – supposedly she hurt her knee while on tour, had to cancel her tour, and K-Well-Fed “took care” of her. (Poor thing never stood a chance; it’s not like she had anyone else nurturing her.)
I remember the whole Britney getting hurt thing, too. You know you’ve hit bottom when the only one who shares any kind of ‘compassion’ for you is a backwoods-wanna be ‘gangsta’-scum sucking-parasite…
ha, it’s because they weren’t Beliebers. I still don’t get his appeal.
It’s truly just one of those preteen/teen confused hormone things, combined with a ‘pretty face’, which makes him (or any other prepubescent boy) seem ‘less threatening’ than a grown man does, to many. (I was going to say ‘to many girls’, but of course that’s not always the case ^_- <3 )
I’d kick him out just for being Justin Bieber.
I hear Mars wants a tour. He should go entertain Curiosity…though the poor little bugger might shut himself off.
The downside of fame
Please please please can’t he disappear; the knucklehead parents that have paid their 10 yr. old daughters’ 300-400 tickets to see him should be kicking themselves because they’ve made this douchenozzle rich, but the flame-out to obscurity is coming.
I don’t like him but I doubt he was kicked out of the hotel for his attitude. Anyone who has to work with customers will know you just swallow your tongue for your biggest customer. And what kind of bad attitude would they have witnessed anyway? He probably had people checking him in so they hardly interacted with him. It doesn’t really make sense.
oh thank god he’s Canadian…(sorry maple folks…really). The U.S. can’t stand a hit like that from the French.
this is what i love about Paris/France. They simply do NOT put upw/ ‘gauche’ behavior, it smells like..’merde’ (s***t).
World, take a hint from France, be a snob, be ultra security and kick the ‘le petite merde’ outta your away…
le petite merde….i like it, i love it you ‘little s***t’ everything sounds so nice in French doesn’t it?
I believe you mean “gauche American” don’t you?? He lives in the US now so that makes him ALL yours. And we don’t intend to take him back! 😀
No, we mean gauche Canadian. 🙂 Just because Canadians come to the US for a career in showbiz, it doesn’t make them any less Canadian. When I was teaching English in Spain, I strenuously reminded my students who were Bieber fans that he was Canadian, NOT American!
He’s like a f#$%ed up smurf in that get up
