Big pouty baby Justin Bieber threatens to ‘retire’: too good to be true?

Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber decided to mess with everyone’s head on the Power 106 LA morning show. He announced with a straight face that he’s quitting music. Of course he’s not serious. This is simply Bieber’s way of telling us all how unappreciated he feels because the media “attacks” his every move. You know, everyone’s picking on him even though he’s so positive and amazing.

So Bieber decided to make a fake farewell announcement. To me, this is no different than Alec Baldwin throwing a fit and threatening to quit acting after one of his ragey fits. Here are some of the quotes from Bieber’s “retirement” speech:

“I’m 19 I’m gonna make mistakes it’s inevitable.”

“People think I’m arrogant, I’m not, I’ve always been a caring and giving person.”

“I’m here solely for my fans and for the music.”

“The new album … I’m actually retiring, man. I’m retiring, yeah. I’m retiring. I’m taking a …. I’m just going to take some time. I think I’m going to quit music.”

[From Power 106 LA]

The comments on the YouTube video are off the wall: “Only real beliebers and SMART people know it’s all a joke.“ I guess I’ll be “smart” and resign myself to the truth. Sigh.

TMZ has spoken to a source close to Bieber who insists Bieber is only joking: “The kid’s got ambition.” Yeah, he’s joking. Justin wants to be a mogul and thinks that goal is completely possible. Besides, what else would he do if he quit music … move to Brazil and open his own branch of brothels? Now there’s an idea.

    I wish the world would retire this trend of giant baseball caps. They look ridiculous.

    • deehunny says:

      That and leather pants. My husband complains he can’t get a normal baseball hat because of the fashion of them now.

    • kitty-bye says:

      So what is the point of pants to your underpants & hats to the ceiling?

  2. Dani says:

    He owns more leather pants than every female I know, combined.

  3. MisJes says:

    As long as he’s not planning on quitting music to pursue acting, a la Justin Timberlake, then I say this is amazing news. Unfortunately, I think it’s just a lame ploy to stir up his fans and prompt them to go ballistic about it on social media – in turn boosting his fragile, man child ego. Pathetic.

  4. V4Real says:

    Bieber threatens to retire? Well that’s one threat I wish he would follow through with.

  5. Aims says:

    What a douche

    • Tracy says:

      Pretty much. What else is there to say about the little punk?

    • Jenna says:

      Now now, let’s not be nasty and get into name calling like that…

      Douches can be incredibly useful products in the right medical setting. No need to go calling something a Bieber. That’s just overly harsh now, don’t you think?

  6. swack says:

    Why do all these celebs insist on wearing sunglasses inside and at night? As for retiring, I’ll believe it when it happens. Same for Kim and Kanye being more private. Please, no one is buying your bs.

    • Beth says:

      I know, right? When Lenny Kravitz was on Ellen promoting Catching Fire, he wore sunglasses, and I was so bummed, because I like him, but that’s just stupid. Cinna would know better.

      • m says:

        Im pretty sure Lenny has sensitive eyes. My dad has that problem and he’s always wearing sunglasses.

      • Lauraq says:

        Yeah, I knew a dude whose eyes were permanently dilated because of a medical issue. So he had to wear sunglasses pretty much all the time because otherwise the light would hurt his eyes terribly.

    • Tiffany :) says:

      I think Beibs was just hiding his red eyes.

  7. Dani2 says:

    Yes please! I’ve only really known about him since 2010 but it feels like he’s been around my whole life.

  8. Frenchie says:

    Justin, please accept the fact that you have the bone structure of a 14 year-old girl and that those eyeglasses are too big for your face.

  9. Jacqueline says:

    Why won’t we just let him be great?!

  10. Aussie girl says:

    It feels like a little kid threat. Like if you don’t be nicer to me than I’m going, expecting his fans and everyone to beg him to come back. We will be nicer justin, please don’t leave us! He grew up with the world loving him and now they don’t he will resort to this shit. He will forever be a man child

  11. Jaded says:

    Drat, I thought Christmas had come early this year.

    Justin, Imma give you some advice – take a break. Give the world a much needed respite (I’m sure you’ll have to look that word up in a dictionary…) from your constant douchiness, lying and whining. Grow up, then come back with a better attitude.

  12. dorothy says:

    It would be a Christmas Miracle if he would.

  13. doofus says:

    He’s NOT arrogant?

    is that why he thought it was OK to piss in a lowly janitor’s bucket? or be carried up the Great Wall?

    • Sea Dragon says:

      In a *lowly* janitors bucket? Personally, l believe it doesn’t matter what you do as long as you have integrity and strive for excellence. For all we know, the guy could be multi talented but with the job market as it is, took this position to make ends meet. Or he could take great pride making sure everything is spotless in his environment. Or he’s just starting out and wants to work his way up the ladder. There are many possibilities why a person chooses to take a job and just because he isn’t living a life that includes wealth and influence doesn’t mean he’s lowly. We know nothing about the person but I’d still bet money that he’s not as much of a crybaby as the pathetic excuse for a human being Bieber.

  14. Kittypants says:

    Won’t happen. This little cretin loves the attention too much.

  15. GoodNamesAllTaken says:

    I knew it was too good to be true.

  16. paola says:

    I hope I’ll live long enough to see this day.

  17. carol says:

    Just a theory here: He wants to retire because his ego and personal identity/self worth is centered around his fame and how adored it is (was). Now that ticket sales are going down and the public doesnt seem to love him so much, I think he’s resenting the public who once loved him, and doesnt know why it’s happening to him (since his ego is so huge). He needs attention and adoration like he needs water.

    • Lucy2 says:

      Yup. People are getting sick of his crap, so now he’s going to play the victim. He might as well have stamped his feet and said “you won’t give me everything I want, I’m going home!”

  18. CosmicGirl says:

    Please, do!

  19. TheOneandOnlyOnly says:

    This is a matter worthy of a United Nations investigation. I agree beth, back in the day – say the 70s/80s – only hicks and rednecks wore caps; all the cool rockers – think Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, Michael Hutchence – had long wavy shoulder length hair – I know styles change but baseball caps, especially worn backwards, are just silly,

  20. zan says:

    He discussed me!!! Trying to look so cool with his hoarsely voice and feeling his non-existing beard, yaaaaaackk!!! You’re just a baby boy, stop it!!!

  21. Tazina says:

    There’s nothing on his website so it’s probably not true, but I can hope. Having this brat retire would make my day.

    No one has ever looked more lame in a baseball cap than Justin Bieber.

  22. Ciru says:

    She won’t be missed.

  23. Sassy says:

    I wish. He’s such an a$$hole.

  24. Ruyana says:

    Better to “retire” than to face the dropping ticket sales. I have grown to seriously hate this little sh!t. I used to work in fraud investigation and he’s exactly like the best smooth-talking grifters. When they’re working on getting over they are all overblown charm, so much so that it rings false.

  25. only1shmoo says:

    WOOH! Christmas came early, thanks Santa 😀

  26. Singtress says:

    He looks like he is wearing lip gloss.

    Hmmmm….

    (*tapping pencil against teeth*)

    ….thinking about that Mylie pic of her boob flashing the other day….

    Have Mylie and Bieber ever been in the same room together?

  27. The Original Mia says:

    Promise? Don’t let me down by going back on your pledge.

  28. nannan says:

    I am belieber. People are ridiculous for mocking a kid.

    • Brittaki says:

      “Mocking a kid”? Seriously? He’s 19, he’s a legal adult who visits brothels, bullied a teenage fan for her weight, pissed in mop bucket at a restaurant, endangered lives by speeding in his neighborhood, spit in a concerned neighbor’s face AND on his adoring fans, vandalized private property, screws ticket buyers by constantly showing up late to shows, and then has the absolute gall to act like he’s the victim? I’m sorry, but us calling a grown adult out for his abhorrent, inexcusable behavior is not “mocking a kid.” Not even close.

    • Anon33 says:

      Do “kids” normally sleep with hookers? Just a question…

  29. Lucy2 says:

    Is that a promise or a threat?

    I’m guessing he’s expecting the world to beg him not to, but I think the general public will happily show him the door.

  30. JudyK says:

    Great news…can you take Miley w/ you?

  31. ennie says:

    he should retire those skirts…er… pants

  32. I think all the Lil’ Twist/Boy drama is starting to get to him. That or he’s finally coming down off all the drugs. This was bound to happen anyway, my prediction is that he’s not going to retire but from now on Bieber will be dealing with a very, very different type of reality/fame. Pop the popcorn!!!!

  33. rrabbit says:

    Not only should he retire, Bieber should go on a 100 year spiritual journey, preferably in a monastery with no communication to the outside world.

  34. Insomniac says:

    Promises, promises, you little skidmark.

  35. Dommy Dearest says:

    His douche is added by those idiots just lined up on the wall. His entourage looks like they are trying to make it into the JCPenny catalog. What does she need with all those people just hanging? They look like complete assholes along with Lady Bieber.

  36. Tiffany :) says:

    WHY is he getting interviewed on Power 106? It isn’t like they ever play his music, its a hip-hop station!

  37. rep says:

    Good question, and you’re right, they don’t play his music. Is he trying to make his voice sound more mature with the scratch thing going and rubbing his chin? He is sooo silly.

  38. weeeee says:

    yaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy
