Girl thrilled by Justin Bieber tickets after being scammed

Kayla Ramsey at Midtown Tickets saved the day for Elizabeth Green's daughter after the tickets she bought to the Justin Bieber concert proved to be fakes.

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- A mom planning a birthday surprise for her daughter wound up with a sickening feeling, but in the end, Bieber fever won out for the night.

Last night we told you about a Kingwood mom who bought two tickets to the Justin Bieber concert that turned out to be fakes. The seller posted the tickets for sale on Craigslist and would only take cash for them.

During our story we spoke with Kayla Ramsey at Midtown Tickets about how to spot a fake. Kayla graciously offered to give the mom two real tickets.

As you can see from the photos, there was (at least) one very excited young lady at the Toyota Center last night.

Jaden Smith Remixes Justin Bieber's "Love Me Like You Do"—Check It Out!

Watch out, Justin Bieber!

Jaden Smith is giving you a run for your swaggy style.

The 14-year-old singer—who is the son of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith—remixed the Biebs' hit song "Love Me Like You Do" and took to Twitter to share a YouTube video of his latest musical mix:

"Ohh Snap #WeMadeIt #LoveMeLikeYouDo," the pint-sized rapper posted early Monday morning

Jaden Smith turns 14!

The epic rendition is one of 18 tracks from Jaden's debut mixtape titled "The Cool Cafe: Cool Tape Vol. 1." which features the young star covering and remixing songs from his favorite artists (sister Willow is on the CD as well!).

This isn't the first time Jaden has used the Biebs for a bit of inspiration—the longtime friends performed together at the 2011 Grammys, and they even did a "Never Say Never" duet back in the day.

What do you think of Jaden's "Love Me Like You Do" remix?

Houston teen reviews Justin Bieber's concert

Justin Bieber returned to Houston Tuesday for his first full concert since the "My World 2.0" tour of 2010.

Carly Rae Jepsen opened the show and did a fantastic job of getting people pumped up for the popular teen. She sang her catchiest hit, "Call Me Maybe". As she closed she managed to say, "Justin Bieber's up next!" - This of course was followed by the sound of girls screaming.

As the clocked ticked down to zero, the noise of the screaming girls grew louder. Pretty soon, I couldn't hear my own thoughts.

Bieber opened with 'All Around the World' from his latest album, "Believe". The eighteen year old "flew down" in his giant angel wings right onto center stage. He then went through a number of songs, dance routines, and outfit changes.

About half way into the show, Bieber strapped himself into a machine that hovered over thousands of girls' heads. While up there, he slowed it down a bit and sang "Be Alright" and "Fall", acoustically, which are songs from the new album "Believe". Believe itself is the name of a track on the newest album, which he sang later on the piano.

Justin Bieber never fails to keep the crowd engaged and entertained. I can still hear the words ringing in my ears right before he closed with "Baby" - as he said, "Who wants to be my baby?" And if you're reading this, Justin Bieber... I do!

Battle of the Hairdos: Justin Bieber vs Bruno Mars in Fuse's Top 40 Videos Battle

Decisions, decisions, decisions: In one corner we have a well-coifed young superstar by the name of Justin Bieber; in the other corner, there's pompadoured popster Bruno Mars. Their new videos, for "As Long As You Love Me" and "Locked Out of Heaven," respectively, are battling it out in our Top 40 of 2012 video contest. Which one will you choose to advance to the next round?

Yes, Bieber is a wee lad, and yes, his spiked new 'do is a departure from the legendary swoop that launched a million tween imitations (see the evolution of his hair!). But it'd be foolish to underestimate a teenager with such undeniable swag (and top notch hair product). Plus, in the video, Bieber gets slapped around by Kill Bill actor Michael Madsen, so you know he's tough (and his hair still looks good after the beating).

But Bruno Mars is no lightweight, least of all in the hair department. Sure, he's never had a cut as revolutionary as Bieber's swoop – his locks have more of a 1950s greaser vibe to them – but it's clear he puts major effort into that 'do. And in the "Locked Out of Heaven" clip, Mars' hair remains perfect despite being in what's apparently the world's sweatiest club. That's composure in the heat of the moment.

So, voters: Who has the better hair? Let us know by voting in our Top 40 poll! Right now, Bieber is winning 73% to 27%, so Bruno Mars fans better rally to their man's cause.

And, of course, feel free to argue your decision in the comments!

Justin Bieber Flexes, Shows Off His Biceps

Justin Bieber is showing off his guns.

No, not the shootin' kind.

The 18-year-old pop star took to Instagram last night to post of a photo himself posing a lá Mr. Olympia in a white tank-top undershirt.

Justin got tough for Complex magazine

Both arms are up, his fists are clenched and his biceps are flexed. Biebs gives some serious face as he stares into the camera.

And, of course, there's bling. There's a gold bracelet on his right wrist and a matching watch on the left. A gold and diamond whistle dangles from a chain around his neck.

Bieber's message accompanying the photo reads, "Jb you think you jacked or sum???"

Justin Bieber fans burned by phony tickets

Justin Bieber fans burned by phony tickets: No doubt about it: Elizabeth Green's daughter loves Justin Bieber.

"Big, huge Justin Bieber fan.  Posters galore," Green said.

To surprise her daughter, Kayden, for her eight birthday, Green turned to Craigslist for concert tickets.

"He offered them for a $150 each," Green said. "So $300 total, they're decent seats, I figured face value they're probably $80, $90 bucks, so he's just barely making a profit off of it."

Green admits she was a little suspicious when she met the man who identified himself as Michael Miller.  Miller's photo now appears on Craigslist, warning others to be aware.

Both tickets Miller offered to sell Green had the same bar code number.

"He said the Toyota Center puts the same barcode per transaction," Green said.  "Every question I had, he had a good answer for."

She later learned the seats she paid $300 for didn't exist.

"It was horrible," she said.  "I mean I was bawling.  What am I supposed to do for my daughter now?"

Turns out, Michael Miller, if that is really his name, sold fake tickets for Bieber's Dallas concert and also scammed at least four other people here.

"I'm more than just upset.  We're talking little girls here that are getting scammed," Green said.

"We do get complaints from consumers who are scammed by the classic ticket scam," Houston Better Business Bureau's Monica Russo said.

The BBB advises consumers to only purchase tickets through authorized ticket dealers and brokers and to avoid paying cash.

"Be very careful about the Craigslist site," Russo said. "While there may be legitimate tickets for sale on there, there's also a lot of scams floating around as well."

Green's daughter was so upset her mother got scammed; she took Bieber's posters off her bedroom wall, but she will be at tonight's concert.  Her mom spent another $200 for nosebleed seats.

"I would love to see him get arrested," Green said.

Justin Bieber's Mom, Author Pattie Mallette, Says Her Famous Son Is Behind Her

"Around the house we always had music," Justin Bieber's mother, author Pattie Mallette told us in a back room at Books and Books in Coral Gables. She'd just arrived from the Women of Faith event in Fort Lauderdale. "I would sing and play the guitar and have people over. And he would join up and bring the djembe and start playing along with us."

Mallette, who sang in the choir, danced, and acted growing up, says her and her superstar son share the arts in common. But most recently, she's entered the spotlight as an author of a mémoire Nowhere But Up: The Story of Justin Bieber's Mom. A single mom who'd had a rough childhood, she says she works to, "inspire people to get through their own journey."

Mallette admitted, "I think a lot of people don't know that I lived in a pregnancy home the whole time I had Justin."

"That was really challenging living there with a bunch of hormonal pregnant teenagers. When I got out, I was on social assistance, I worked two or three jobs to try and put food on the table. Stood in food bank lines." Bieber would, she says, call her a strict parent. "I was definitely at times overprotective because I'd been through so much in my life, and I really didn't want him to have to go through anything that I had to."

Her parents weren't at all strict with her. Mallette says, "I think you can either go two ways. You can either do the exact same thing as your parents did or you can go the complete opposite. I mean there is a middle ground. But I think that I really wanted to be protective. In some ways, I feel I was overprotective. He's turned out great so far," she laughs.

The author also didn't grown up religiously, but after a suicide attempt at 17, in a dark moment, she cried out for help. "I had an encounter I could never deny. Since then, I've been trying to seek and see what that's been all about," she reveals. "My faith has been an integral part of my story of who I am. I talk about it a bit in my book. It's been a messy faith, not so neat and tidy in a bow."

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez latest news: What does lingse mean? (Video)

On October 29, 2012, Hollywood Lifereported Justin Bieber and Selena Gomezmight have ended their relationship. The news comes from an Instagram photo that Bieber posted with the caption “Lingse.” The word has fans scrambling for a definition and as many have asked what the word means, the solution has been offered that “lingse” is an anagram for “single.” Was Justin Bieber sending a hidden message to fans and followers that his relationship with Selena Gomez is over?

Is Justin Bieber Single?

The news that Justin Bieber may be single has set frenzied fans into high anticipation. While many fans root for Gomez and Bieber, there are countless fans who would love to become the next Mrs. Bieber. If “Lingse” doesn’t mean single, than what could it mean? Interestingly, Bieber took the photo along with the caption down shortly after posting it. While Bieber is known for using social media networks frequently, especially Twitter and Instagram, Selena Gomez has noticeably dropped from her Twitter account. Her last tweet was October 23, 2012. According to the report, Bieber looked terribly sad in the photo and it’s possible he posted during a time of feeling despondent, and then removed it after news of his relationship status began to spread.

Is Selena Gomez Putting Work Before Relationship with Justin Bieber?

Selena Gomez is 20-years-old, while Justin Bieber is 18. The two are one of Hollywood’s most popular young couples and teen fans adore them. Gomez has embarked upon multiple acting opportunities since the series finale of the Disney program “Wizards of Waverly Place.” Her film, “Hotel Transylvania” was just released and the young singer and actress is currently filming a special for “Wizards of Waverly Place.” Gomez’ last tweet was in reference to the project and some may wonder if Gomez’ career changes are taking her away from her relationship with Bieber.

It’s important to realize that young love may feel as though it will last forever, but there are situations and times in life when new opportunities present changes that cause tremendous strains on relationships.

If the couple has broken up, it is unclear whether Gomez’ career changes have affected their relationship, but it wouldn’t be doubtful. Career changes often have a direct impact on a relationship’s status and as young people discover more of who they are, and what they want from life, they may find that saying good-bye to certain relationships opens the path to new ones.

Justin Bieber is currently touring in Missouri, while new photos showed Selena Gomez celebrating Halloween at a party without Bieber.

Is their relationship on the rocks?

Is Justin Bieber a teen angel? Not during his pedestrian concert at American Airlines Center

Don't call him a teen angel, Bieber hasn't yet earned his wings. (Kye R. Lee/The Dallas Morning News )

Just in case you ever wondered if Justin Bieber was indeed a teen angel, his sold-out concert Monday night at American Airlines Center confirmed that fact. There he was with 20-feet silver wings strapped to his back descending onto the two-tiered stage.

The entrance would have been memorable, actually, had Bieber not treated it as just another day at the office. About a minute after he was un-winged, he launched into the generic dance-pop number “All Around the World.” The platform quickly became sensory overload central – eight costumed dancers, confetti, pyrotechnics, seven video screens, a big band and background singers.

All that sometimes nonsensical window dressing, not to mention the repetitive thump-thump beat, is aimed at keeping the young audience constantly engaged. It also serves as a way to divert attention away from the star’s artistic shortcomings.

The 18-year-old Canadian has one of the most colorless voices I’ve ever heard in concert. It lacks any personality, easily slipping into monotone. During one song in particular, “Die In Your Arms,” not a bad tune with nice old-school R&B flavor, Bieber simply could not carry the melody. It fell completely flat.

The pompadour do is part of Bieber's heralded transformation from boy to man. (Kye R. Lee/The Dallas Morning News)

“Die In Your Arms” is one of several songs Bieber performed from his current album, Believe. The record arrived heralded as his mature effort, his boy-becomes-man song collection. That theme was part of a video montage featuring – get this – the changing of the hairstyle from feathered bangs to layered pompadour. A monumental moment in Bieber’s life and career, yes indeed.

Yet so much of the show still smacked of teen dream overkill – from his cutesy duet “Beautiful” with opening act and fellow Canadian Carly Rae Jepsen to the two throwaway girl songs, “Out of Town Girl” and “One Less Lonely Girl.”

There is, however, a bit of a conundrum at work here. Bieber still hasn’t found a comfortable, unrehearsed flow for his stage performance. Everything that came out of his mouth sounded memorized or stilted. Spontaneity for him was basically awkward small talk to fill the silent spaces. But when he took an instrument, he finally looked like a natural.

This isn’t to say that Bieber is a master guitarist, drummer or pianist, but he played all three with ease, confidence. He had some nice finger picking happening on the acoustic six-string and got a fierce beat out of his drum kit. He elegantly sat at a white piano during the inspirational closer “Believe.”

Maybe that’s his future. Otherwise his songs are so pedestrian – predictable dance-pop of the day with “Beauty and a Beat,” “Never Say Never” and “Take You,” or sugary ballads devoid of real emotions with “Catching Feelings” and “Fall.” Even the eye-popping enormity of 20-feet silver wings can’t make them compelling.

Selena Gomez grew past being only Justin Bieber's girl (Video)

Selena Gomez just landed in Glamour’s “Women of the Year” spot for her age group and fans of the former “Wizard of Waverly Place” star know that Selena deserves this honor. According to Hollywood Life on Monday, October 29, 2012, her relationship with Justin Bieber seems to be up in the air these days, but she is so much more than Justin Bieber’s girlfriend.

“Woman of the Year” denotes a mature woman who has her head firmly planted on her shoulders and that’s Selena. She seems to have matured in leaps and bounds over her boyfriend, Justin Bieber. Selena’s latest honor puts her as “Woman of the Year” for the 20 year-olds and she beat out some very mature and bright women in that age group.

Does Justin Bieber’s immature antics that frequently pop-up cast a shadow over Selena? People can't say enough about the fine mature young women she’s turned out to be. So far it doesn't seem as if Justin's immature antics have reflected on her, but will it come down to that eventually?


She’s even been seen with Justin while he played out one of his childish pranks. Selena was seen in that picture Bieber posted on his Twitter page with him holding a gun on a guy. It was a prop gun and all in fun, but because he has such an influence over the younger-set today, this caused quite the uproar.

Selena’s reputation did not appear to suffer from this picture as she's seen in the photo laughing as the Bieber holds the gun on the guy. Then there was that picture of Bieber grabbing himself in the crotch that showed up online because he posted this to Twitter. Bieber’s list of less than ideal behavior was vast in the last six months.

Is Selena Gomez way ahead of Justin Bieber in maturity levels? Selena was just named "Woman of the Year" by Glamour Magazine!

One of the oddest things he’s said lately about Selena is that he isn’t ashamed of her as his girlfriend. This came out of his interview with Oprah when she was inquiring how Justin and Selena handled going places together, according to The Huffington Post.

Oprah asked if they had to take separate cars and use separate entrances when going places together. It sounded as if Oprah question had crowd control in mind, but Justin seemed to have taken it differently. He said to Oprah:
"I don't keep her separate from me because I don't ever want to make her feel like I'm ashamed of her."

Why would Selena ever think that Justin was ashamed of her, she is the epitome of a young lady. Selena definitely has more reason to be ashamed of Justin than he has to be ashamed of her!

Video: Check out the video above as it offers some little known facts about Selena Gomez!

It doesn’t look like Selena’s reputation has been tainted by Justin’s immature actions, not as far as Glamour Magazine is concerned, as “Woman of the Year” wouldn’t go to someone who was thought to be immature. It is apparent that Selena’s a few steps above Justin right now in the mature department. Will she eventually get tired of his high school antics as she moves ahead being a normal woman in her 20’s?

Director Jon Chu Chats Justin Bieber, Masters of the Universe and GI Joe (VIDEO)

Eclectic director Jon M. Chu (Step Up 3D, Justin Bieber: Never Say Never, that cool new Microsoft Surface commercial) stops by What's Trending to answer fan questions about his upcoming GI Joe: Retaliation sequel, Justin Bieber's "Beauty and a Beat" video, and revolutionary dance channel, DS2DIO.

"This is where the new dance studio was happening. It wasn't in a physical place anymore," Jon says of YouTube's DS2DIO, which features shows such as Arena, LXD and Masterclass. "All the walls had come down."

After having been on the opposing side of a heated YouTube video dance-off with Miley Cyrus, Jon noticed that there were a wealth of talented dancers who were hungry for exposure, as well as viewers who were begging for more. Bringing his video-making experience to the table, Jon played a strong hand in creating a dance hub for all of YouTube to enjoy and for agents and artists to find new talent.

Jon also gives us an insider's take on Justin Bieber's major Internet prank that led to the hyped release of his "Beauty and a Beat" video, ft. Nicki Minaj. "He started to plant these things about his tapes being stolen," Jon says of how the stunt was designed. "Justin pranks me all the time. He takes over my Twitter feed."

Proficient at multitasking, Jon is also directing GI Joe: Retaliation, which is set for a March 29, 2013 release. He reveals that he pitched himself to the producers -- who were skeptical about how his knowledge of dance would translate to this film -- by showing action sequences from the DS2DIO series LXD, which features dancing superheroes.

"Really, doing these web videos," Jon says, "which seem so counterintuitive to making a big blockbuster movie, helped me get the job for GI Joe. It's all full circle."

Yahoo Buys Justin Bieber-Backed Start-Up

New Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer has given a Justin-Bieber backed company her stamp of approval. In fact, Mayer liked it so much, she bought it—her very first acquisition since taking the reins in July.

Yahoo purchased the mobile-app Stamped, which was founded in 2011 and is based in New York, for about $10 million.

The purchase jibes with Mayer’s stated goal during the company’s third-quarter earnings call of becoming “a predominantly mobile company.”

“At some point at least half our technical workforce should be working on mobile,” she said.

Mayer verified the acquisition on Twitter with an Instagram photo from Stamped headquarters. “Got to visit our new acquisition, Stamped, this morning — happy to be reunited with Robby (@rmstein) and his team,” Mayer tweeted.

Stamped—which is backed by a gaggle of celebrity investors, including Ellen DeGeneres, Ryan Seacrest and Justin Bieber, along with Bain Capital Ventures, Columbia Records, Google Ventures, and The New York Times Company–lets users keep track of and recommend things like restaurants, books and music to friends online.  Its app was first launched last November.

As it happens, The Bieb is a savvy tech investor, and Stamped isn’t his first investment.  According to Forbes, the young mogul has holdings in Tinychat,  Sojo Studios and Spotify,  as well as Stamped.

Five of Stamped’s nine-person team once worked at Google: Co-founder  Robby Stein, was a project manager under Mayer, and co-founder Bart Stein once worked at Google Creative Lab.

In a statement about the acquisition, Adam Cahan, Yahoo’s senior vice president of emerging products and technology, noted that mobile is becoming one of the company’s “most important priorities” and that it is “accelerating our efforts to build a world-class team of mobile engineers, product managers and designers.”

Stamped founders said that the start-up will be creating “a new product and engineering office for Yahoo in NYC’s Bryant Park,” but declined to specify what it is.

Stamped’s iPhone and web app will both be discontinued by the end of the year.
ABC News has a content-sharing partnership with Yahoo.

Justin Bieber Cancer Hoax: Fans Shave Heads For #BaldForBieber Trick

Some days, the internet rises to the "top yourself" trolling challenge with flying colors. As the Twitter collective is aware, star hackings and fake celebrity accounts are everywhere, from Will Ferrell to Rihanna to President Obama and Bill Cosby. But this new one takes the cake, resulting in Justin Bieber fans shaving their heads in misguided support of their pubescent hero.

Billboard.com reports that a hoax announcement that Justin Bieber has cancer has resulted in hordes of sympathetic fans shaving their heads in support of an ill-advised "go bald for Bieber" movement.

Let's be clear: Justin Bieber doesn't have cancer. There is no health scare, besides the obvious deep testosterone deficiency.

A few days ago, 4Chan - aka the bowels of the internet - reportedly hacked into the official Twitter account of Entertainment Tonight, posting the tweet along with a pic of some bald youngsters holding signs saying they would go #BaldforBieber.

"Pop star Justin Bieber was diagnosed with cancer earlier this morning. Bieber fans are shaving their heads to show their support," read the tweet.

Right below that was another fake tweet, but this one from Justin Bieber's account:

"Several of my AWESOME supporters are shaving their heads to help get me through this! I love my fans! #BaldforBieber," the fake tweet reads.



Shortly after the tweets, a website, BaldforBieber.com, launched showing photoshopped tweets from the pop star thanking fans for support. From there, word spread on Twitter and even YouTube. Naturally, the sycophantic supporters sprang into action, and the hoaxmonster took on a new life:

For those who need a little more evidence that their beloved cherubic eunuch hero isn't sick, Bieber's bodyguard Kenny Hamilton confirmed via Twitter that he's cancer-free.

Oh, internets. You so crazy.

Canadian pop star Justin Bieber to perform at halftime show of 100th Grey Cup

Justin Bieber greets fans during the 2012 Much Music Video Awards in Toronto on June 17, 2012. The Canadian Football League is offering a diverse mix of performers for the halftime show of the 100th Grey Cup. Teen heart-throb Justin Bieber, singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot, pop-rock group Marianas Trench and pop star Carly Rae Jepsen will perform at halftime of the league's championship game Nov. 25 at Rogers Centre, the CFL announced Saturday. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Chris Young

TORONTO - The Canadian Football League is offering a diverse mix of performers for the halftime show of the 100th Grey Cup.

Teen heart-throb Justin Bieber, singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot, pop-rock group Marianas Trench and pop star Carly Rae Jepsen will perform at halftime of the league's championship game Nov. 25 at Rogers Centre, the CFL announced Saturday.

Country artist Johnny Reid and rocker Burton Cummings will headline a special kickoff show before the game.

"We are absolutely thrilled to unveil an all-Canadian, all-star lineup that features the biggest pop star in the world, the woman who gave us one of the biggest songs ever, one of the hottest young bands in the country, an iconic balladeer, a rock and roll legend, and one of this country's leading entertainers," CFL commissioner Mark Cohon said in a release.

"This array of stars will command a huge and diverse audience, entertaining our most loyal fans and attracting new ones to our game's greatest showcase. It spans genres and generations. And it's quintessentially Canadian and undoubtedly world class, at the same time."

Nickelback played last year's Grey Cup halftime show in Vancouver.

One Direction star 'feels sorry' for Justin Bieber

One Direction star Liam Payne says he feels "sorry" for pop star Justin Bieber.

Payne, along with his bandmates Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan, has become close to the Boyfriend hitmaker in recent years, but he says he does not think Bieber has as much fun as the British group because he does not get to perform with anyone else.

"Not in a patronising way, but I kind of feel sorry for him. I know he's got friends around him and they go on tour with him. But they're not going through the same situation as these boys are with me," he said.

"If something bad happened to me tomorrow, Louis would be there for me 100 per cent. People sometimes ask if I want to be a solo artist, but it just wouldn't be any fun being on your own."

Despite touring the world now and rarely being at home, Liam does like to have some time away from the band - even if it's still with one or two of his bandmates.

"It's important to have a life outside the band. But at the same time I spent the night yesterday at Zayn's house.

"We all have this amazing brotherhood and that's what makes this job so special. If we didn't have each other, I think we'd crumble a little bit," he told Now magazine.

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez Destined to Spend Life Together

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez have experienced some difficulties from time to time in their relationship. What relationship hasn't? There are sure signs, however, that the two of them are destined to spend their lives together. See if you agree.

According to a report from Hollywood Life, fans are thrilled whenever they spot Justin and Selena together. Their love for one another is more than apparent. The support they have for each other's careers is admirable and they both weather the storm of long-distance love from time to time with dignity and grace.

Justin recently told Oprah Winfrey just how much he loves Selena Gomez. There are lots of other signs that these two are meant to stay together.

The Wizards of Waverly Place star frequently travels to the cities where Justin's concerts are held. She was recently spotted dancing beside the stage with Justin's good friend Alfredo Flores. Neither Justin nor Selena tries to usurp the spotlight from the other. The As Long As You Love Me singer doesn't walk ahead of Selena with his entourage when the two are in public together. They are very clearly a couple—often walking hand-in-hand and he always appears protective of her.

Justin and Selena both hold their families in high regard. They frequently take Justin's little siblings on outings, and Selena even brought them to the Toronto premiere of her film Hotel Transylvania. Their faith and their families are the center of their lives, and that very clearly seems to keep the two of them grounded.

Do you think these facets of Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez's relationship indicate a strength that can carry them from dating to forever? Rumors of break-ups surface frequently, but so do rumors of an engagement. Which do you think is more likely to take place in the next couple of years?

Do you think Justin and Selena are destined to stay together?

See Justin Bieber's New Owl Tattoo and His Seven Other Pieces of Ink

Justin Bieber has been averaging a new tattoo a month since the summer. So far, he's added "Believe" and a Japanese symbol to his arms and a crown to his chest since June. Over the weekend he shared his newest ink with his fans: an owl on his left arm.

The Biebs posted the shot of the new tat to his Instagram page with the caption: "Befo the paps get me." Perhaps the owl, a bird that appears as though it can turn its head all the way around, symbolizes that he's always on the lookout for sneaky photogs? They have caused him a bit of anguish on the roadover the last year. 

This isn't the first bird tattoo for the star. His first ever ink, back in March 2010, was the outline of a bird on his left hip.

Let's take a look back at Justin's tattoo timeline, shall we? 

Justin's bird tattoo (via Bauer Griffin)March 2010: The Biebs first got inked at the Son of a Gun tattoo parlor right around his 16th birthday. He went with his dad, Jeremy, and got a small outline of a bird on his left hip. Apparently the bird is part of a Bieber family tradition. Both his dad and uncle sport the same tat.

That time, both guys got inked with "Yeshua" in Hebrew, which means "Jesus." Justin's tattoo is written vertically on his left ribcage, so you can't see it unless he's shirtless. It's unclear if the singer's dad got tattooed in the same spot.

This time, he sported the outline of a star on his left elbow. The first pictures of the tattoo were taken in Texas over Memorial Day weekend, but a few weeks later the black outline had disappeared! Turns out the elbow art was just a temporary Henna drawing.

While at the beach early in the year, Bieber revealed a large tattoo of Jesus wearing a crown of thorns on his left calf. This is the singer's first tat that's visible outside of the beach, even though it's easily covered up by pants.

Bieber's latest ink is an image of praying hands, and they're placed right next to the Jesus tat. The singer has yet to say anything about the fresh art, but he did address rumors of an inner-lip tattoo in an interview. "I think they wash out in like a year anyway. I don’t know if I’d go through the pain of getting one on my lip," he said.

June 2012: Just before the Biebs' Believe album dropped over the summer, he got a block letter tattoo of the title on the inside of his left arm. He was then lectured about tattoos by talk show host David Letterman. But that clearly hasn't stopped the star from adding to his ink collection.

July 2012: It's unclear when the Biebs added a tiny tattoo to the inside of his right arm, but he showed off a small Japanese symbol on the red carpet over the summer. The symbol means "music."

September 2012: Bieber posted a shirtless picture of himself in September, displaying a crown inked on the right side of his chest. "New tattoo its a crown if you couldn’t tell,” he wrote
