Ugh, you’ve just been Bieber’d. This ^^ is an Instagram photo Justin posted last night after he “collapsed” on stage in London. Justin posted the photo from the hospital with the message, “Gettin better listening to Janice Joplin”. JANIS. Not Janice. Considering Justin’s “collapse” came just hours after he was wandering around London in a gas mask and having some kind of Twitter meltdown, what does this really mean?
The show must go on. Justin Bieber had a bit of a scare when he fainted mid-concert on Thursday, March 7, but he didn’t let that stop him from finishing the performance.
“Justin fainted onstage tonight during his concert in London when he fell short of breath,” the 19-year-old “Boyfriend” singer’s rep tells Us Weekly. “He left the stage for 20 minutes, then came back and finished the show. He is now on his way to a doctor to get checked out and see what is wrong.”
“He got oxygen from emergency personnel. He insisted on finishing the show,” his rep tells E!. “He is on the way to the hospital right now.”
Bieber’s manager, Scooter Braun, got on stage to explain to the crowd what was going on, according to YouTube videos of the show.
“Justin got very light of breath. The whole show he’s been complaining, and he’s backstage with the EMTs and the doctor,” Braun announced. “They’re telling him that they want him to go see somebody and see what’s going on with his lungs.”
Bieber then returned for a rousing ovation, continued the performance, before being taken to the hospital.
It is not yet known what caused the episode, but there’s no doubt it’s been a stressful week for the pop superstar. On Wednesday, March 6, Bieber took to Twitter to talk about rising above the drama and focusing on his loyal fans, a.k.a. Beliebers.
“I’m focused on the good things in life. I’m blessed and not forgetting it,” he wrote. Later, he added: “I will continue being me. I will continue to serve, to perform, to care, to love, to smile, to dance, to play, to sing…and you are welcome to join, because I carry no hate. We got too much love for that. I’m about the music.”
The singer, 19, collapsed on stage at London’s O2 arena on Thursday night after complaining of breathing problems throughout the performance.
Early Friday morning London time, he Tweeted: “getting better. thanks for everyone pulling me thru tonight. best fans in the world. figuring out what happened. thanks for the love”

Hunh… okay, now I do believe that his collapse might have been caused by some kind of legit medical problem, although that problem is probably more of the “smoking weed, drinking and not getting enough sleep because he’s partying so much and bangin’ so many girls in London” variety. Should we give him a collective side-eye for being such a drama queen, or should we applaud him for finishing the show even when he wasn’t feeling great? Eh. I barely care. This is just another chapter in what will become a larger story about this d-bag’s issues.

100% PR stunt to combat the backlash from the London concert fiasco. (baby Bieber showing us 2 hours late).
And, why must he subject us to not only his shirtless boy body, but also his underwear? He is fascinated with his underwear…what’s that about?
Lol! I just came to say the exact same thing!
He must think we’re all fools (although he really only needs to trick his fan base). Oh! He’s so brave! He put on a concert despite being faint! Forget that other concert! Ugh.

Yup – it’s totally a please feel sorry for me and look how hard I work! kind of stunt. Gross. And put a shirt on. Double gross.
Definetely a stunt he’s back on stage tonight performing.
Stunt, agreed. I’m callin him Klaus the monkey from here on out.
I hate to say it, but that’s what I thought, too. Also, wearing a gas mask when it’s not necessary to protect from a chemically poisoned atmosphere is going to cause a lack of oxygen intake anyway–those things aren’t frigging fashion accessories.
“those things aren’t frigging fashion accessories”
+ 1000000000
Also, why he’s always showing his underwear?? Geez
Yep…I think he wore his gas mask a little bit too long…Why does he seem so desperate at this point?
I was thinking the gas mask had something to do with it too. Also if he would stand up straight when he walked, not all hunched over, it would open his diaphragm and allow him to take full deep breaths. He’s have to find a different way to hold his pants up if he did that though?
He’s so fascinated with his Big Boy Underpants because he’s just recently begun wearing them. That’s the only reason I can think of.
Yeah, total stunt by a drama queen.
lol
Yes. He’s very proud of his toilet training success and wants everyone to see he’s not wearing a diaper.
It is totally a stunt. A legitimate medical emergency would require the tour team putting his health first…and NOT alerting the audience that he “was told to go the hospital, but he wants to finish the show for YOU”. If it was a real scare, they wouldn’t alert the audience that he might be leaving because that could create traffic flow issues.
Complete stunt. Funny that he had the tantrum with the paps this morning. He is an idiot. Who can save him from himself?
I agree it’s a stunt, however, smoking pot at the same time you’re taking certain drugs (prescription, I mean) can result in fainting. Used to happen to me as a teenager when I was on anti-depressants and smoking dope at the same time. Something caused me to not breathe deeply enough and I would often pass out or get really lightheaded after smoking. Being a stupid kid, it took me a while to clue in and knock it off. So since Justin is a huge dolt, I’m assuming this could be the case for him.
boooo I did not ask to be Beiber’d, so now I’m not only side-eyeing Beiber but you as well Kaiser..
incidentally, being Beiber’d sounds like a gassy omission, a nip twist or a rug burn and not a one of those things sound nice..
I’m Biebering on the toilet right now.
Gg: you’ve LOLd me twice in 5 minutes. You’re on fire today 🙂
I just Bieber’d in my mouth a little bit.
I can’t stand this little turd!
I know I’m not part of his target group but he is so physically unappealing. I know when I was 13+ I was hot for MEN, like Sting and John Taylor.
Ur so right! I Ioved Axel Rose back in them crazy 80s quite a difference. Little Boy Beiber needs to pull up his pants and quietly go home.
Axl Rose in the 80’s!!! And the early 90’s…HOT.
yes, plus: Axl Rose (back in the day)= rock and f’ing roll. Bieber=so not.
Hey NYC Girl-count me in for Sting. What a sexy guy he was and still IS really. He didn’t have that annoying babyface look that is so coveted by the younger crowd, he just looked…sexy. Also-a great songwriter and a great singer.
Looking back, I never crushed on NKOTB or the other boy bands that were popular at the time. I always liked the naughty boys in hair bands like Motley Crue & Guns N Roses. Although, many would argue that a dude with big hair and eyeliner really isn’t a step up from a guy wearing a Members Only jacket and hammer pants.
But I digress……
EDIT: Ellie-just saw your comment after I typed this *high fives*
Hi Kitten! The Police were my first concert when I was 14!! I always thought Nikki Sixx was hot and was shocked about 10+ years ago when I heard him speak. I think it was “Behind the Music-” although he was talking about OD’ing, he was oddly well-spoken and coherent!!
NYCGirl: I totally crushed on Nikki Sixx too! He was gorgeous. He actually is very intelligent and articulate. He wrote a great autobiography that details his struggle with heroin. It is one of the best autobiographies I’ve read, and I read a lot! I highly recommend… 🙂
Mmm, Sting. Although I admit I wasn’t attracted to men like that looked like men until I hit my teens…before that, like, it was all about Zack Morris for me. Zach Morris from Saved By The Bell. Johnny Depp [21 Jump Street…yes, I was quite young in the late 80’s early 90’s]. I HATED NKOTB. I got in trouble in kindergarten for tearing up a poster of NKOTB my classmate brought in, they made me sick to my stomach, it was weird to feel that strongly against fluffy pop acts at the age of 5. I’d have hated Bieber.
Not that Zack Morris was particularly edgy, lol.
Kurt Cobain though, I was in love with him.
+100
I feel the same way, when I was that age (12-13)I was crushing on Axl and Sebastian Bach, not NKOTB. I don’t see his appeal at all..
His fan base is 8 and 9 year olds …lol
Sebastian Bach was gorgeous! I actually met him at a kiss concert 10 years ago! He was two rows in front of me! After the concert was over a bunch of women were waiting at the bottom of the escalator screaming Sebastian!
My first thought was, ‘stunt queen.’ Seems like an attention seeing move to me.
+1
His people going on about him coming out to finish the show seals the deal that it was a PR stunt to make up for his bad behavior in the last couple of weeks. You not fooling anybody boyfriend.
Is he listening to ” look what there done to my brain ma??? I’m sooo over this kid he will burn himself out by 25 tops!!!
He gives so man signs already! I hope he does not end like Macaulay Calkin!This proves that children can’t handle fame and money! I just feel sorry for him!
Ehhhh…I’m not buyin what he’s selling ..I think he staged this to get sympathy from his fans . ‘Poor justin, soo dedicated still performed though he wasn’t feeling well’ maybe he’s not such a diaper wearing , childish,immature, spoilt,entitled douche bag afterall *rme*
I know I’m probably giving him too much benefit here, and hoping that it wasn’t a PR thing. I could see the kid just kind of breaking. He’s been acting pretty weird lately; even for him.
As much as I think he’s an entitled little shit head, it’s probably hard to skyrocket to fame like that. Yea, that’s what he wanted. But he might just be burning out a bit.
I’m feeling oddly sympathetic towards people today.
Yeah there were similar comments being made on the Bieber post yesterday.
I mean, he’s no Chris Brown-it’s not like he’s a terrible human being.
I guess it’s just hard for me to feel badly for someone who has SO much to be thankful for when so many are suffering in this world and would gladly trade places with him in a heartbeat.
That being said, the kid is only human and I agree that he’s been slowly imploding over the past few months. It looks like a case of burn-out. Lucky for him, when he’s done touring, he can take his millions and go buy a house in Hawaii to relax for a while if he wants.
God, wouldn’t it be nice to just go buy a house in Hawaii and chill? Or a house anywhere and just relax for a while and not have to worry about finances ever again. I think I’d probably put up with the stresses of young fame for that haha.
Erinn-after this winter, I have a new plan in place to do ANYTHING in my power to get a timeshare (do those even exist anymore?) or SOME sort of warm-climate rental.
Having money doesn’t make life perfect but I would say that it undeniably makes life EASIER, particularly if you have enough money to pay people to worry about your money so you don’t have to 😉
Totally, he’s no Chris Brown,feeling teensy bit sorry for bewieevy. Pull up those big boy panties and dance hard pretty manchild.
That photo….I just can’t. The raised brow, no shirt and pants pulled down…he gets more dounchependous by the second. John Mayer needs to be scared – The Biebs is comin’ after his crown.
My first thought was also PR stunt to show how loyal he is to his fans, but I also wonder if maybe he isn’t having some kind of a mental breakdown.
I like how he has his hospital gown pulled down and over his legs. What a stereo typical “look at my abs” 18 year old douche move…I weep for the children of the future
I’m going with standard celebrity “exhaustion”.
Why is he never wearing a damn shirt?
PR stunt. Calling on Karma to make it real.
Maybe he actually stood up straight for once instead of hunching over like an ape and got light headed
Aha! I think you might be on to something there!
He hunches over so that his abs are always taut. And also he seems to believe that he is 6 feet tall. Dude is late in realizing that at age 19, he’s totally done growing. His tiny dick is not going to get any bigger.
Whenever I’m hospitalized I don’t think “Let me take a picture and upload it on instagram/twitter”
What in fame-whore hell?
Well, when they have, they haven’t pulled their hospital gown off to pose all beefcake (well, in his case a mini version of beefcake). Lol
I know people on FB who post every small thing for attention and comfort, like “at the hospital” and everyone rushes to ask if she or her children are sick and then she says that she went there for an odd thing, then she examines who answered to blacklist those who do not ask her what happened.
People in social media can be very childish.
Bieber is disgusting and a wannabe poser no matter how rich he is
Guess he traded his gas mask for an oxygen mask. Poor Biebs.
When I heard that he was refusing doctors… I thought, uh-oh, he must’ve taken something.
Just how many PR people did it take to pull off this photo? Hair, makeup, lighting, etc. Nice that he could take off his hospital gown and show his undies for all the underage fans. Hair in place, all the tats showing, head phones on, lord what a girly child.
I know. I was cracking up. Perfectly posed, shirt off, hospital gown pulled all the way down so obviously to show his tightie-whities and even has his hand suggestively placed. Cringeworthy. Try hard much, Bieber? This is so strange, this pose. What is going on with him?
Drugs
…kidding.
Oh, Canada – famous for maple syrup, grizzly bears and now Justin Bieber.
If only someone patriotically-minded could bring those three elements together in a confined space on Pay-Per-View, it would probably wipe out the budget deficit…
I would watch, I promise… maybe even throw a viewing party
Grizzly bears and maple syrup deserve better.
Totally a public relations stunt cooked up by his team of sycophants who are getting paid to come up with these schemes. He IS eye candy I will give him that.
Ugh…put a damn shirt on Biebs. You’re not Anthony Kiedis.
It seems Mr. Bieber shaves his pits. Ladies, what do we think of that in general, yay or nay?
Nay. Definitely nay.
NAY.
Nay
Girl please;
Biebs is more feminine than me…..
Got to have hair to shave hair.
Bet me manscapes too = ugh puke.
Oh! This post just gets worse and worse – why did I click on something with his name in the title?!? I was upset first to see the header photo, then became more angry about JANICE Joplin, who he should not be allowed to listen to, let alone misspell her name and now I had to scroll back up and see that he may have, in fact, shaved his pits.
I am going back to the Diane Lane post and think about Gregory Hines.
I feel like I see his underwear more than my own.
I’m going to be SO happy when he has his pants pulled down again and we see a giant skid mark one if these days. I’ll laugh forever.
Would that be water in those two glasses behind him, or Lohan water?
I like his sweater!
Puking on stage, late to stage, collapsing on stage, twitter spaz outs, GF dumps his diaper butt… rehab, here we come.
If you’ve got good drugs share, it cuts down on the bad behavior and baby fits little dude.
PR stunt all the way, only someone 12 wouldn;t be able to figure that one out.
EW! did he shave a “snail trail”!?!? EW! EW EW EW!!!!! CANNOT UNSEE!
Annnnd now TMZ has video of him completely flipping out and threatening to beat the f— out of a photographer. He’s getting into a vehicle and being held back. To be fair the photog didn’t help matters, but coming after everything else? Something’s up and it’s not good.
Yes, he is extremely well paid to do what he does, and he can wipe his tears with hundred dollar bills. But I think the flip side is that this kid’s life has been managed to the minute for years, by other people who are making a lot of money off his back. If he has contractual obligations, he can’t just jet off to Hawaii to relax. His people will work him until he is no longer useful, or bringing in the money, and they will move on to someone who can. With YouTube, there are millions of kids (and their parents) waiting to become the next Bieber. The pressure must be immense. Photo ops like this are probably staged by his people, and he has to smile for the camera even when he is feeling like crap. I’m not a close follower by any means, but I think his social media is closely monitored and vetted. The moment he steps out of line, they reel him back in with a ridiculous stunt like this.
Even with all his material comfort, sometimes I have to wonder if it is worth it. He’s five years older than my oldest son. I own that its probably a maternal thing, but I can’t help feeling sorry for him.
Maybe he had an extreme allergic reaction after being forced to actually put on a shirt.
He’s the male version of Kim K…always being photographed/tweeting pics of himself half naked. Look at me! Look at me! Not a humble bone in his body.
I’m still trying to get over the fact that he wrote, “Janice” instead of “Janis”. Wow, what an IDIOT. “We got too much love for that”…..whatever. He poses and talks like a stone age punk.
TMZ is reporting that Swizzle whatever his name is crashed Biebers shiny chrome car and left the scene (and car?).
OH, MY GOD! Have you guys seen this? At first glance (I swear) I thought these pictures had been photoshopped using scenes from that Wayan brothers’s movie (“LiTTLEMAN”).
http://www.laineygossip.com/Justin-Bieber-throws-a-tantrum-at-the-paps-and-held-back-by-his-bodyguard/26204
SERIOUSLY, take a look at this:
http://photos.laineygossip.com/articles/bieber%20tantrum%2008mar13%2001.jpg
That Lainey one is flat out disturbing.
of course his rump would have to be hanging out.
I guess this is his version of a “bagina flash” or a “panties flash”.
He can’t give us a side boob flash so we get the hinny flash. Kids today 🙂
Have you seen D-listed? Oh lord-I am weeping with laughter from the comments!
He really DOES look like a baby being picked up by his father. Tantrum is the only word to describe it. What a fool!
I wonder if he fired the bodyguard for manhandling him. What a silly douche.
Also has anyone else noticed that Bieber has a woman’s figure? His waist goes in and his hips flare out. I noticed it when he was on SNL. There is nothing manly about him. I think that he knows this and is constantly trying to compensate for it. Dude would make a cute woman.
Oh my God!
Did you guys watch the video?
I’m siding with the paps.
They did get out of Bieber’s way yet he still pushed him.
Then his little tantrum after that… Please.
What I don’t understand is why he is getting upset at the media when that is what he used to become successful in the first place. I might have a bit of sympathy for he if I did not always read about the crap he post on Twitter and Instagram.
cover dem bones up boy b4 you catch pneumonia! 🙄
Pathetic attempt to garner support. He’s such a weasel. I can’t wait til he goes the way of Paris Hilton….back into the dustbin.
Do yourself a favor & check out the pix on dlisted of him being picked up by his bodyguard. What a tool this kid is.
This. I had tears of laughter running down my face.
Ugh, those freakin’ douche tatts.
I hope Dr House would have taken his case, he could tell him one or 2 things, shame that he does not exist…
If there is a God his 15 minutes have got to be up, but there are just too many toneless tweeners out there; on the plus side, though he’s an entitled idiot, at least he’s heard of Janis Joplin, DOes he realize, or care, never in a million years will he approach her talent and authenticity.
Good post Shannon1972 He has all the money in the world but a completely artificial existencs. I’m not sure it’s worth it.
Stunt,and with all the drugs hes on. idk maybe he forgot to change his tampon.
Do you think Justin walks around London wearing that gas mask saying, “Luke. I’m your father. Come over to the dark side.”
When is he going to learn that he shouldn’t post his personal problems on the internet? What a douche.
Tighten up, Justin [haha, or don’t, I know you hate The Black Keys] this was way too obvious. I don’t usually even believe in PR stunt accusations, I’m naive like that, but this one is flagrant.
Maybe he got dehydrated from sweating inside that stupid gas mask.
