Sun Magainze got their hands on some old footage of a young Justin Bieber in the studio telling a racist joke about black people being afraid of chainsaws and using the n-word in the footage above.

Why are black people afraid of chainsaws? Run n*****, n*****, n*****, n*****, n*****. (laughs)

Since the video has leaked, Justin has issued a statement to The Hollywood Reporter about the old footage.  Check out statement below.

“As a kid, I didn’t understand the power of certain words and how they can hurt. I thought it was ok to repeat hurtful words and jokes, but didn’t realize at the time that it wasn’t funny and that in fact my actions were continuing the ignorance. Thanks to friends and family I learned from my mistakes and grew up and apologized for those wrongs. Now that these mistakes from the past have become public I need to apologize again to all those I have offended. I’m very sorry. I take my friendships with people of all cultures very seriously and I apologize for offending or hurting anyone with my childish and inexcusable mistake. I was a kid then and I am a man now who knows my responsibility to the world and to not make that mistake again. Ignorance has no place in our society and I hope the sharing of my faults can prevent others from making the same mistake in the future. I thought long and hard about what I wanted to say but telling the truth is always what’s right. Five years ago I made a reckless and immature mistake and i’m grateful to those close to me who helped me learn those lessons as a young man. Once again….I’m sorry.”

According to TMZ, Justin Bieber attended the amfAR gala in the Cannes and donated $545k for AIDS research. The attendees at the amfar gala  began making pledges of money then  one guest decided to donation a half of million, then Justin Bieber matched the donation. Leonardo DiCaprio, Heidi Klum, John Travolta, and other were some of the celebrities in the building.

From MTV:

Justin Bieber’s DUI trial date has been moved once again.

At a hearing in Miami on Tuesday (March 11), Bieber’s hearing date was set for May 5. His trial was originally scheduled to begin on March 3, but was postponed while his lawyers handled the release of police videos that showed the singer submitting to a urine test in a police station.

At the same hearing, prosecutors said that, contrary to reports, Bieber has not been offered a plea deal the case. In late January, he pleaded not guilty to charges of driving under the influence, resisting arrest and possessing an invalid driver’s license.

Since being arrested in Miami in January, Bieber’s trial date has now been changed twice — it was originally set to begin on February 14 then was bumped to March 3.

In related news, he may also have to reveal details of his relationship with Selena Gomez (this is in regards to a recent deposition for beating up a photographer, or something like that. From TVNZ:

The troubled singer was asked about his on/off girlfriend during his deposition last week – part of the ongoing lawsuit after his bodyguard allegedly beat up a photographer – and refused to answer questions, but now the lawyer has insisted he has a right to know whether they are currently dating.

According to gossip website TMZ, the Beauty and a Beat hitmaker may have to open up about their rumoured reconciliation after court documents were filed.

The lawyer – representing the photographer – has claimed Justin and Selena’s relationship is relevant to the case because she was with him at the scene of another apparent attack on a paparazzo in 2012.

It is said if Justin and Selena are back together, she could be considered a biased witness and not credible.

He responded: “Don’t ask me about her! Do not ask me about her!”

In addition to forcing Justin to answer questions about the Spring Breakers actress, the lawyer also wants him to be punished for his rude behaviour before he walked out of court during the deposition.

The video is below. From TMZ:

If the push-up video didn’t convince you Justin Bieber’s a hard mofo, this should do the trick — the singer showing off his badass tats in jail … so police could take photos of them.

The Miami Beach PD just released the pics — presumably snapped to keep a record of Bieber’s identifying marks — and they’re GANGSTA AF.

Not really … but it’s hilarious that Bieber obviously thinks so.

We can’t really decide on our favorite — it’s a toss-up between the weeping Jesus face and the inexplicable Native American head (the singer once claimed he was “part Indian”).

The real shocker is how Bieber can stay standing with two gold chains around his neck.

Everybody is half-seriously giving this guy the bad buy title, but seemed to forget that he snitched on his own mother while in custody.
