Mark Wahlberg’s doing the rounds for Ted 2, the sequel to the hit Seth MacFarlane movie about a profane teddy bear. We didn’t hear much from Wahlberg during the Entourage tour, but he’ll be talking more about this movie. Amanda Seyfried already scored her Vogue cover, and journalists can’t exactly interview the teddy bear.
Wahlberg spoke with E! about how Justin Bieber surprised him with underwear selfies after scoring his Calvin Klein revival campaign. Swaggy famously idolizes Wahlberg, and Wahlberg sort of tolerates Bieber. Bieber has watched Entourage episodes at Wahlberg’s house, but Wahlberg has no problem telling Swaggy to pull up his pants. Wahlberg’s wife, Rhea Durham, also threw shade at Bieber’s CK ads. They all have a weird relationship together, especially after Swaggy sent undie selfies to Mark:
“[Bieber] sent me a note saying he was doing [the CK ad] and I was like, ‘Oh, cool,’ and then he sent me a picture and I was like, ‘Dude don’t send me a picture of you in your underwear. That’s crossing the line. I don’t need to see a picture of you in your underwear. I’ll probably see it when I’m driving down the street, and I’ll still try to avoid it.”
[From E! Online]
The funny thing is that Wahlberg is badmouthing Swaggy, but Swaggy won’t mind. He is not easily discouraged. Neither is Bieber’s manager, Scooter Braun, who recently told Billboard magazine, “[Bieber’s] like Bob Dylan: He p*ssed people off, but whenever he switched, he reinvented himself in a way that made him who he is today.” After people laughed, Braun later tweeted a “clarification” that said Swaggy has “learned from greats not to be afraid of stepping out of your fan’s comfort zone and pushing forward. It was nothing beyond that. Isn’t that what great men are for?” The explanation still makes no sense.
More Bieber with no pants. Swaggy performed in Hong Kong and offered to take his pants off for the crowd. Enough!
Here are some pics of Swaggy out and about during the past week. He’s too matchy matchy with the hat and shoes.

I love all of this. All of you, just keep on talking.
I can’t stand ANYTHING about either Justin Beaver & Mark Wahlberg, but in this instance I actually have a twinge of sympathy for JB. Mark Wahlberg’s extreme homophobia is enough to make even a turtle puke up a plastic bag stuck in its throat! One really wonders what his really issue is. I have never met a single straight guy who 100% comfortable who is so virulently homophobic. He behaves just like all the repulsive Republican bigots, who are then found to be secretly getting it on with young guys in public lavatories et al! What a jerk!
yeah, makes one wonder what he’s so afraid of.
it’s like some of them are worried that they might have some FEELINGS when they see those pics so they avoid even looking.
Interesting thoughts on why he’s homophobic! I swear I remember him saying “sex isn’t everything” in his relationship with his wife, or how he doesn’t think it’s a big deal like other men do and he could take it leave it, or something kinda weird like that.
,,dude, i dont need to see that” doesnt necesarily mean Mark is homophobic. I think Justin could have sent a picture of his poop and Mark would have still said ,,dude, I dont need to see that”. Justin is just rude and selfish. What did he expect, MArk to reply with ,,man, your schlong looks enormous, you should come by my house and hang together” ? pun intended
Eh, I’m a straight female and would have the same response if I got sent Bieber’s underwear photos. Or underwear photos of any of my casual acquaintances, male or female.
So his bad boy reformation comes to an end…
Bieber just comes off as a kid who idolizes Mark Wahlberg because he didn’t have any invested adult role models growing up. He is looking for someone to conform his life to….
That hat reminds me of the little wool cap the hospital puts on a newborn baby to keep his head warm. And his manager’s name is “Scooter”? Really?
Really. And he’s as immature as his client.
B!tch, please. You will never come close to Marky’s Calvin campaign. At least Wahlberg’s balls have dropped – no photoshop needed for him.
re: the ad campaign…when I first heard of it happening, the ONLY print ad I saw was at the CK outlet store near me.
and that was the only one I’ve EVER seen. I don’t think it was a very successful one and they seemed to have pulled the ads pretty quick.
Who cares if this racist jerk is happy or not? I’m glad it upset him!
Murky Mark things people don’t see his pearls of wisdom for what they are: pellets of Shit.
Can’t stand Wahlberg for many reasons. And he’s short, beady-eyed and has bad skin. Blech.
Why does Bieber dress like a toddler? I don’t understand that fashion, it’s hideously unattractive.
Would have loved to seen Marks face when he got those pics!!!! Haha…. Mark looks sexy here, love him.
Right? I’m not sure why he dresses like this either when he can afford the best of the best. No one dresses like this anymore, biebs.
My head just exploded. Bieber and Bob Dylan in the same sentence as far as reinvention? Baby Bieber doesn’t know what true musical reinvention is compared to a great musician and songwriter and poet like Bob Dylan. (Head slamming against the wall multiple times trying to comprehend such a delusional statement.)
Totally agree. I’m getting a beer, and listening to my favourite tunes off Blood on the Tracks, Street Legal et. al.
Don’t you have to invent something before you re-invent it?
I honestly feel bad for Bieber. I have sons. It’s got to be hard to transition from cute kid to the awkward teen/young man years in the public eye, with zero guidance and direction from older/wiser people.
I’m sure he is crying into his millions. 😉
I agree.
Why is a 40 something-year-old man hanging out with Bieber, who is half his age and acts like a spoiled child? That is a serious “re-evaluate your life choices” moment, Marky Mark.
I don’t think they ‘hang out’. I think it’s more like the article says, Bieber idolizes Wahlberg and Wahlberg tolerates him.
Is anyone shocked that Beiber likes entourage? A show where women are objects that are solely for the pleasure of men.
Bob Dylan… lawd have mercy…
For some odd reason, anything that irritates M. Wahlberg puts a little smile on my face. First time I’ve enjoyed something JB’s done since…ever.
Did any one see mark on the graham norton show on Friday? he came across as such a dick I thought. He was so rude to poor Dara O’briain 🙁
That’s cause he is a dick.
You’ve gotta give Mark Wahlberg props.
Somebody without talent or skills parlaying an underwear campaign geared at gay people into a successful overpaid Hollywood career.
Even more astonishing when you look at his mashed potatoe face.
I’ve yet to see it, but how can someone be rude to Dara? Dara is great.
Can someone please answer this: anyone know/met mark or his friends and family? I used to be a fan until I found out about his history. However, I then went to school in downtown Boston and heard about some of the good things he’s been doing lately and I want to BELIEVE he’s trying to turn things around (considering giving him a chance to change) but I was unsure after he filed papers for a pardon. So, tell me anyone who knows him or his family: is he a good person or is there more than meets the eye?
HIs hair in the last picture reminds me of Leo DiCaprio’s circa Titanic.
Does anyone remember that Bieber and Wahlberg were meant to be making a movie together? It was going to be about a teen who played basketball or something. Never happened.
I’m still reeling from Wahlberg’s comment that if he had been on the plane during 9/11, he’d have rescued the whole flight. Gotta hate on a friggin’ moron like that.
