25. Beiber's closely following in the steps of Leif Garrett (who was on Celebrity Rehab a while back)

Leif Garrett was the same type of heart-throb phenom in the 70's that Beiber is today. It took over 20 years for Garrett to hit bottom, along the way he crashed a car and paralyzed his best friend. Beiber is just getting started, he'll buy his way out of this current little annoyance and will have had the lesson even more implanted in him that he can do whatever he wants because he's rich. He'll become even more hardcore. And on and on, until he crashes heavily. Let's hope and pray that he doesn't hurt anyone along the way.
