Justin Bieber Apologizes to Fans for Giving the Finger

By Christo Varghese Posted Mar 3rd 2011 06:15AM

Justin Bieber took to Twitter to apologize to his fans for giving the paparazzi the finger.

Bieber gave photographers the middle finger as he and his girlfriend Selena Gomez were leaving Maggiano's after celebrating his 17th birthday at the restaurant on March 1. He admitted to losing his temper and regretted his actions.

Bieber tweeted, "had a great bday and at the end of the night we got surrounded by paps and i reacted in a way i know better. im sorry #killthemwithkindness."

He continued, "it's not always easy but i know better than to react in anger."

On a happier note, he gave thanks to his fans for making his birthday wish come true. "On a better note i need to say THANK U to my fans. we raised over 40k for @charitywater for my bday. we together #madeachange."

Bieber had urged fans to donate at least $17 to the Charity: Water foundation, which provides clean water to those in need. Bieber has already helped raise more than $44,000 (and growing), which surpassed the $17,000 campaign goal.

And in more charity news, Bieber's hair sold on eBay yesterday for $40,688.

Bieber, who cut his hair last week, wanted to use his locks to help raise money for charity and shared them with Ellen DeGeneres just one day after cut.

DeGeneres put the locks up on eBay, and within the first hour, Bieber's hairs were already up to $10,000 in bids. The auction ended yesterday and helped raise $40,688 for the Gentle Barn, an animal rescue organization in Santa Clarita, Calif., which was chosen by DeGeneres.

And so it begins. Like Cyrus, Lohan, Spears, his true side starts showing itself. One of the main reasons Bieber is so popular is the paparazzi, that and their lack of brain cells. He is on his way to being a white Michael Jackson. Sure he is seen with pretty girls, but so was Michael, and the whole world knows what he was. Mark my word, this only the beginning. He will make several more minor missteps and beg for forgiveness, which you will give him. Then he will make a royal screwup and he will start lying, he was taken out of context, or blame his handlers.

Non of my critics have answered the question: What may I ask does Bieber’s middle finger salute mean?

Any takers? "Lady", (Mr) "Marcus", how about you "Betsy"? Or are you all indeed the names you have called me?

Just keep giving him your money and he'll be happy...

We all know what the middle finger means, Mike. As I said before, what's funny is your cursing at him for using it. It's like yelling at someone to be quiet in the library, or shooting someone in the name of gun control.

These situations with celebrities are so blown up it's ridiculous. If I had to deal with those annoying paparazzi hounding my every move I'd be in a bad mood too. People are allowed to make mistakes and if giving the finger is the worst thing he ever does then I'd say he is pretty tamed and well behaved. Give the kid a break.

I can't believe this little piss-pots hair is being sold!! How absolutely GROSS! I suppose thenext things these "celebrities" will sell is their used toilet paper and there is someone out there just sick enough to buy it!

Already starting with not wanting the paps? A little young.. I'm not for the paps...they need to give some distance to the celebrities. I myself would feel physically threatened by them. But that being said...they are a big part of keeping careers going. Better get used to it Justin. If you're in the limelight, that's something you have to get used to.

Who is this little gay bird and who care??

Oh give me a break - he is not perfect, I can totally understand him losing his cool. At least he had the decency to apologize. He didn't scream curses at them, he didn't try to hit anyone like so many other stars have done. No one got hurt. No harm, no foul. And no I am not necessarily a Justin Bieber fan. Although, after reading the article, I am a little bit impressed with the him and the money he is raising for charity. Good for him, he might actually turn out to be a decent human being.
