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!

Arrogant and emaciated.

I am Canadian. This kid is quite full of himself. Very unCanadian. I honestly do not get his success.

Your such an embarrassment Bieber! You actually look like a little girl in the picture. No wonder Toronto boo’ed you at the Grey Cup. Time to do alittle growing up and stop trying to act cool, when you obviously are not. Show some respect.

Where’s your shovel and pail Justin? Aren’t you on your way to the sandbox?

He’s cute and talented and that is all that matters!! I would like to see all you petty haters out there achieve that kind of success at his age and then talk!!

I usually don’t comment on things like this, but REALLY??!! What was he thinking? You can be young AND be classy. Has his girlfriend taught him nothing?? Where were his handlers such as his publicist? How embarrassing!

Canadians are not exactly refined, in fact Mr Harper did not behave very well in his recent visit to India, however, this is a bit too much. A shirt and a pair of nice trousers wouldnt have ruined his career. Somehow at some time vulgarity became normal.

Why does everyone hate on a young man trying to build a brand. It’s unfortunate our society would rather criticize first without doing some research to know this kid started at 12 years old and has more money than any college educated Person. Do yourselves a favor, stop reading about Justin and put all that negative energy into making your brand! Love you JB <3

No class at all. The more he opens his mouth, the more he sounds like an arrogant, entitled little punk.
