Justin Bieber Takes Reporter to Task Over Overalls Commotion

After the drop-crotch pants controversy of 2012, we were hoping Justin Bieber would listen to our advice and invest in some sexy slim-cut jeans or a nice pair of trousers.

But wow, we were wrong.

This past weekend, the pop star received a Diamond Jubilee Medal from Canada’s Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, and wore half-buckled overalls for the occasion. But after being raked over the coals by the Daily Mail (“Would a suit hurt, Justin?” they wrote) and Gawker — which called him a “white trash prince” — the Biebs fought back:

“The pic of me and the Prime Minister was taken in a room in the arena where I was performing that day,” he wrote on Instagram on Sunday, specifically targeting Daily Mail writer Hayley Peterson. “I walked straight from my meet and greet to him, if you “Hayley” expect me to have a change of clothes let a loan [sic] a suit at that specific time that’s crazy, It wasn’t like it was like I was going into his environment we were at a hockey arena. Wow am I ever white trash hayley peterson lol.”

We understand Bieber’s point — it’s not like he was at the Prime Minister’s residence, and the boy is crazy busy — but on the other hand … overalls. Really Justin? Tell us: Do you think Bieber’s overalls were trendy or tacky? Vote in our poll below!

I’m sure Jsutin Bieber’s staff could have found him something else to wear. A pair of pants and a decent shirt would have been suitable for meeting the leader of YOUR country.

I was disappointed to see JB dressed so inappropriately to receive such a prestigious medal.
It’s disrepectful to our country, and you should’ve represented yourself and our people (our youth) in a much better light.

Soldiers polish their boots, dry clean and de-lint their DEUs and shave, just to salute at attention in thid presence and maybe be seen for a couple of seconds by his passing glance.

Such a shame. Grow up!

I think he just proved what a dumb, immature child he is. He has a lot of growing up to do. Right now he is still a little boy.

All you haters just shut up and let him be for gods sake! I love you Justin <3

While I didn’t approve of his look, this was not right before the Grey Cup football game on Sunday, it was right before his concert in Ottawa on Friday night. He had just come from a meet and greet with his fans. Not sure if his fans would have recognized him in a suit at the meet and greet.

LOL I couldn’t get past the “let a loan”…Forger the suit,loan a dictionary Justin,might do you some good!!

He doesn’t look 19 at all, more like a 15 year old…..

Very poor judgment. Disrespectful

It’s ok, no one takes Stephen Harper seriously anyway.

Joan on November 26th, 2012

Why does he always look like he’s high?
