Justin Bieber Gets Harper-Collins Book Deal for Memoir at Age 16

Posted on | August 2, 2010 | 31 Comments

Sure to be the biggest cult classic since Mein Kampf:

Harper Collins announced today that Bieber is publishing a memoir with the colon-heavy title “Justin Bieber: First Step 2 Forever: My Story” that will be be released in October. The book promises to reveal all the details of his “amazing journey to stardom,” a journey that, it should be pointed out, has lasted all of 16 years.

I might change the name of the blog to The Other Bieber, just for the extra traffic.

UPDATE: In semi-related news, audio tycoon Sidney Harman has agreed to buy Newsweek magazine, which is on pace to lose $70 million this year. We were unable to confirm rumors that Harman plans to rename the publication Bieberweek.

    Ugh… I thought at first it was a photo of chanteuse Anne Murray. This “guy” makes Obama look positively masculine and humble. (Didn’t think it would be possible.)

    The only thing I know about this Bieber idiot is that I saw a clip of a TV interview where apparently he/she/it had never heard of the country of Germany. Seriously. Had no idea what it was. How does someone that dumb manage to remember to breathe? Thus the irony of your German references – or was that what you were referring to?
