That's what happens when your spoiled kid puts you on the payroll. What are they going to do though, stare down Bieber's entourage and security squad, and tell him he's grounded?
Any parental authority is gone and they probably like it that way.
The shelf life on these kids stars are never that long anyways, because unless they're exceptionally talented or can reinvent themselves they rarely keep their core demographic which in Bieber's case are girls between the ages of 6 and maybe 15.
Plus the uglification factors comes into play, it seems that the good looking teenager or how teenage girl because an average looking adult, the Milf's lying in bed dreaming about Bieber will look at him and go meh, the teenage girls who smooch with their stuffed animal and pretend its him will move on to the next Biebs.
The big mistake for him is that he's starting to alienate his fan base, next thing you know he's going to be followed by goth girls who cut themselves to feel better and can feel Bieb's pain.
At some point soon, he'll release an album and it will absolutely bomb, the vampires around him including his old man will suck his bank accounts dry and move on to another young teen hearthrob. He'll release another album with a more adult sound (maybe Biebs does thrash). That will bomb, his record label will drop him. He'll announce that he's taking a break to clean up his life. People and some of the other magazines will do stories on Bieb's and Barbara Walter or Oprah will do a tell all interview. He'll turn up at the betty ford clinic and all people will say is man he put on weight.
His creepy parents will start fighting over what's left of his money and Bieber will be raped by lawyers and desperate hanger ons. Desparate to make money the record company wlll release a best of CD, plus director cuts of his movies, they'll all end up in the bargain bin at Walmart.
He'll make a few appearances on talk shows talking about how much he's matured and how rehab saved his life. He'll come across as a nicely dressed or mature quiet version of himself. He'll launch a comeback album, it might do something at the stores.
Then he'll slide into one of those shows like "Whatever happened to"
Then he'll either have that close call with drugs or booze and have an accident he'll suddenly find Jesus.
Then 20 years down the road he'll be that tiny page 25 story, Justin Bieber found dead of an apparent overdose.
Immediately a tribute album will be released where stars record their favorite Bieber tunes. Fans will flood the 3 dimensional fully interactive forums that will be preventible 40 years down the road with "oh that's terrible" or "Thoughts and prayers" and then we'll hungrily move on to the next villain.
