Justin Bieber’s Vanity Fair cover is above. I’d heard rumours that Bieber was going to be on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine; that was weeks ago, and only now have I stopped convulsing. I was hoping the reports were the deranged ramblings of the same panty-wetting fans who sent Bieber’s rumoured girlfriend, Selena Gomez, death threats on Twitter. Seems not. His photos are below, along with interview snippets and a behind-the-scenes video. The incredibly obvious cover shows the 16-year-old singer with some disembodied girl pulling his tie (why is he even wearing a tie?) and kisses all over his face (as though people who wet the bed have yet migrated from WalMart’s finest pink lip chap to lipstick). I don’t even know what audience Vanity Fair is going for. No shade. I really don’t. Would the issue not be too old in demo/ too expensive/ too stuffy for Bieber’s fan base? Whatever. Excuse me while I vomit at the images of his hairless boy chest and him being groped by (hopefully) teenage and (probably) female hands.
- On his mental state: ‘I’m crazy, I’m nuts… Just the way my brain works. I’m not normal. I think differently; my mind is always racing. I’m just … nuts. But I think the best [musicians] probably are.’
- On his public image: ‘It’s hard to really balance myself. A regular kid, if he catches the flu, he just gets to go home … But I can’t do that…. Everything is important. But, you know, my sanity is important, too. Even if I’m angry, I’ll just put a smile on my face and fake it. I don’t often fake it; what’s me is me….I know I have to give up a lot of myself, or a lot of a private life.’
- On keeping his head on straight: ‘Of course, I think that people are just waiting for that time when I make a mistake and they’re gonna jump on it….There’s gonna be haters … I know I’m not going to make a lifechanging bad decision, as some people have. I’ve seen it happen too many times. I could be my own worst enemy, but I don’t want to mess this up.’

He really should get Clay Gaykin to mentor him thru this time in his life. I’m sure Mr. Gaykin could give him help on things like pretending to love the ladies, staying in the closet for as long as possible, and fixing his hair so he doesn’t look like the girl in the original True Grit…
GAAAAA!! I subscribe to VF!! THIS is what I have to look forward to in the mail? From Johnny Depp on the cover to THIS?
Lord, this is 78 different ways from wrong. VF is a ‘Big People’s” magazine. We specifically subscribe in order to keep our eyes averted from every other magazine featuring these kinds of ‘subjects’.
At this point, I am okay with it if the End of Days is Dec 21, 2012. This cover has just cemented the fact that we as a species are totally doomed.
Gawker sums this up better than I did:
LOL – they do beat the Kennedy’s absolutely to death, but to do this kind of a one-eighty is hard on the staid, boring old folks like me who read it – it gives us indigestion, heartburn and flatulence.
Really, the dead old ladies are much more interesting that this embryo.
And while Gawker is funny, I found you to sum it up much better. Especially the convulsing part.
