Justin Bieber, The New Lindsay Lohan?

I'd be remiss if I didn't blog all my rantings and ravings about Justin Bieber's series of incidents. I don't wnat to give Justin a free pass just because I have been busy. It seems while I have been involved with moving the past 12 months, Justin has been busy breaking the law and getting into trouble.

Starting back in February 2013, Justin was allegedly photographed with his "lil" friends, Za and Twist, and some blunts. In March he turned 19 and celebrated with underage drinking, showing up late for concerts, and collapsing on stage during a London concert. He returns to the US only to spit in a neighbor in the face when he complains to him about his wreckless driving in the neighborhood. In April 2013 the Swedish police find marijuana and a stun gun on his bus. In July 2013 he is videoed pissing in a mob bucket in a New York City nightclub kitchen...remind me not to eat there. In August 2013, there are a couple of club altercations. He take a little break in September.

In October he assaults a tour manager in a South Korean nightclub. In November 2013 there is a little sex scandal in which a woman photgraphs him allegedly spending the night with her and then he is caught coming out of a brothel in South America...you got to hand it to him, the kid gets around. Later that month he is detained in Australia when they find weed on one of his entourage members. In December 2013 a girl passes out in his mansion while partying with Justin. In January, 2014, he gets in trouble for vandalism when he throws about two dozen eggs at a neighbor's house...I know I'd be pissed! Five days later the cops raid Justin's house over the egg incident and find drugs, Molly/Ectasy, but arrest Justin's "lil" friend, not him. While on Miami beach Justin is stopped for drag racing, fails a sobriety test and is arrested for a DUI. He resists arrest and is found to have an expired driver's license. And, just like Lindsay Lohan, he is out and about after a slap on the wrist.

Interestingly enough, Justin happens to be a Canadian citizen, unlike Lindsay. People here have gotten so fed up with him they have started a petition to get him deported. A petition of this kind requires 100,000 signatures for the US government to consider looking into the matter. Last I heard, Justin's petition has 255,740 signature to be exact. And, they want to revoke his green card. Here you go:

"We the people of the United States feel that we are being wrongly represented in the world of pop culture. We would like to see the dangerous, reckless, destructive, and drug abusing, Justin Bieber deported and his green card revoked. He is not only threatening the safety of our people but he is also a terrible influence on our nations youth. We the people would like to remove Justin Bieber from our society."

Granted Justin committed these incidents literally all over the world, so no one place has his complete record, unlike Lindsay. But isn't it sad that all these young entertainers can think to do with their money is drink alcohol and do drugs? I haven't heard anything on Lindsay recently, and I hope that means she has been getting help to stay sober. It's sad stories like that of Cory Monteith and Philip Seymour Hoffman that should be a wake up call to everyone. Those who are addicted and the people who love them, should take action now. There have been too many memorials to say good bye, too many lives cut tragically short. Is this the best we can do...just stand by and say goodbye? Is there no good way to prevent these things from happening? People who are addicted to drugs are mentally incapacitated and can't make the decision to save themselves. They not only put their lives in danger, they put others' lives in danger. Instead of finding Hoffman and getting him help before he died with a needle in his arm, they are now busy, after the fact, looking for the people who gave him the drugs. Why can't drug rehab be mandatory for known addicts before they kill themselves? Maybe that's a simplistic way of thinking, but it's sickening to wake up and read about one death after another when these deaths could have been, should have been prevented.

Wake up Justin! You've been blessed with a lot of things in life, the most precious of which is life...and you are taking it for granted and throwing it away!

Justin Bieber's Paternity Test

Justin is in Europe right now with girlfriend Selena Gomez.  They are both still together, despite rumors to the contrary.  Justin has been accused of being the father of  Mariah’s Yeater’s three month old baby, which he flatly denies.  Justin says he will take a paternity test when he gets back in two weeks to put the issue to rest and then he will sue Yeater for her false allegations.  Bieber’s people have found the lab where the test is to be done.  If I were him, and innocent, I would want the test done in a very controlled setting where the possibility of the results being tampered with in anyway is out of the question.  If I were him and there is even a remote possibility I could be the baby’s father, I would want to pick my own lab and maybe “fix” the results.  Of course that would be unethical, but my mind can’t help but go there.  Mariah Yeater leaves a lot to be desired and I would hate for Justin to be saddled with her for the rest of his life.

This Yeater woman is the type of guest Maury Pauvich likes to have on his show.  She has already accused at least one other man of fathering this baby, her ex-boyfriend.  I guess that didn’t work out so she is going to keep pointing the finger until one DNA test pays off.  The fact that courts allow women to accuse a number of men of being their baby’s father and forcing them to have DNA tests, doesn’t quite sit well with me.  I think women should be allowed one accusation and one DNA test.  Maybe they will pay more attention to who, when and how many men they are sleeping with at one time.

Even if a man hasn’t slept with a woman, she is free to accuse him of being the father of her baby.  So what if she sets his life in turmoil for a few weeks and he has to live under a cloud of suspicion?  So what if he is in a committed relationship and the accusations create doubts and destroy the trust in his relationship?  So what if it tarnishes his character and reputation and good name?  By the time the test is taken and the results come back, a lot of damage can be done.  And what penalty or consequence does the woman get if the results come back “He is NOT the father?”  None.  She just moves on to her next victim until one of the DNA results sticks?  How many lives does she get to turn upside down?  

Something is wrong with a system that allows men to be victimized by unscrupulous, calculating women who have no moral fiber.  Even if a man wears a condom, he cannot be exonerated without a paternity test.  

Justin Bieber may not have ever met this woman, as he says.  Yet, based on her word alone, he has to subject himself to a DNA test to prove she is lying.  She is a lowlife, but her word is good enough to invade his privacy, provide him with worldwide negative publicity, possibly creating friction in his love life, and making him take a DNA test to vindicate himself.  He is a young, international star without a hint of scandal, yet his word that he never met her, let alone had sex with her, is not enough to clear his name.  Isn’t something wrong with this picture?

I can’t wait for the results.
