Now, you might say that this is a news story too far in the world of Bieber. But you’re forgetting that we once wrote a story about him walking into a door. Actually, I think we’ve reported on him walking into doors twice. So, get over it. Justin Bieber raised his middle finger in the direction of some photographers this week, and then apologised for it, and that is news.

The incident happened on Tuesday after he left a restaurant where he’d been having dinner with his girlfriend Selena Gomez to celebrate his seventeenth birthday. Why he was spending his seventeenth birthday in a restaurant, rather than shotgunning cheap lager in a park like any other teenager, I don’t know. But either way, the singer poked his finger out of his car window as he drove away from the baying paparazzi.

Upon reflection, he’s now very sorry about the whole thing, and said so via Twitter, thus: “Had a great birthday and at the end of the night we got surrounded by paps and I reacted in a way I know better [than to do]. I’m sorry. It’s not always easy but I know better than to react in anger”.

Here is an example of Justin Bieber not reacting in anger.
