Justin Bieber Gets A Haircut. Yes, It’s A Slow News Day.

It’s a holiday and so the celebrity news is slow!

OOOh, here’s something. Justin Bieber got a haircut. Well, first, he announced via Twitter: “thinking about getting a haircut….hmmmmmm”

Then, he must have gotten a haircut because Rascal Flatts’ Jay DeMarcus tweeted the above photo posing with Justin and his new haircut. DeMarcus deleted the photo later and added, “Ooooops! Sorry Bieber!!!!” Bieber himself has yet to confirm. But it sure looks different than we last saw him on camera last night at the All-Stars game.

So, there you have it.

Happy President’s Day.

Update: Biebs confirmed the haircut Monday via Twitter, “Yeah so it’s true, I got a lil haircut. I like it and we are giving all the hair cut to charity to auction. Details coming soon.”
