- Justin Bieber Busted For Speeding In Paparazzi Chase
Los Angeles City Councilman wants 'Boyfriend' singer arrested for driving like a 'maniac.'
By Gil Kaufman<P>Another day, another paparazzi dust-up for <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/bieber_justin/artist.jhtml">Justin Bieber</a>. The "Boyfriend" singer, who is already facing potential legal action over a previous <a href="/news/articles/1685942/justin-bieber-paparazzo-criminal-battery.jhtml">criminal battery complaint</a>
 after a <a href="/news/articles/1686106/justin-bieber-selena-gomez-battery-investigation.jhtml">shoving match</a>
 with a tabloid snapper, was pulled over in Los Angeles on Friday (July 6) after allegedly flooring it to evade the paps.</P><P>According to <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2012/07/06/justin-bieber-freeway-chase-speeding-paparazzi-l-a-city-councilman-dennis-zine/" target="_blank">TMZ</a>, Los Angeles police cited Bieber, 18, for speeding on the 101 Freeway. An alleged witness to the singer's lead foot, Los Angeles City Councilman Dennis Zine, told the site that he thinks Bieber should have lost his license, been arrested and locked up.</P><P>Zine, who was an LAPD motor officer for 18 years, happened to be on the 101 when he allegedly spotted Bieber's tricked-out, all-silver Fisker Karma zooming by at what he claimed were speeds exceeding 100 m.p.h. The councilman claimed that Bieber was trying to lose a team of paparazzi who were chasing him.</P><P>"Bieber was driving like a maniac," said Zine. "He was weaving in and out of traffic. There was hardly any space between cars as he weaved from lane to lane ... If I was on patrol, I would have arrested him for reckless driving. I was going 60 and he drove by me like he was in a rocket ship. He was a maniac."</P><P>While a spokesperson for Bieber had no comment at press time, his manager, Scooter Braun, denied Zine's claims and said the councilman was just "looking for a headline." Braun said Bieber was cited for going 80 m.p.h. and that he was being chase by the photographers at the time. He added that the paparazzi resumed their chase a short time after Bieber was pulled over, prompting the young star to call 911 for help.</P><P>A law enforcement source said the California Highway Patrol is investigating the paparazzi for possibly causing a dangerous situation. The one thing Zine agrees with Braun on is that the paparazzi were acting irresponsibly. He claimed they were driving on the shoulder of the freeway and causing an "extreme hazard." Even after Bieber was pulled over by cops, he was reportedly surrounded by four photographers angling for a shot.</P><P>This is not the first time Bieber has run into trouble in his custom ride. Over the past year he's gotten ticketed for making an <a href="http://newsroom.mtv.com/2011/12/15/justin-biebers-batmobile-gets-pulled-over/">unsafe turn</a>, cutting off a highway patrolman and reportedly for looking too young to drive.</P><P><a href="http://www.mtv.com/photos/?fid=1617615"><img src="http://www.mtv.com/news/photos/s/spotted/banner/spotted.jpg"></a></p>

Scooter Braun insists to MTV News that track about paternity allegation is not based directly on Mariah Yeater scandal.
By Jocelyn Vena<P>If you wondered just how personal <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/bieber_justin/artist.jhtml">Justin Bieber</a> would get on his chart-topping new album, <a href="/news/articles/1687691/justin-bieber-believe-album-details.jhtml"><i>Believe,</i></a> the answer is pretty personal. But much like an episode of "Law & Order," the names and events have been altered to protect the innocent.</P><P>This is most obvious on his baby-mama-drama track, <a href="/news/articles/1683817/justin-bieber-believe-paternity-scandal-song.jhtml">"Maria,"</a> on which Bieber addresses a paternity allegation made against him by a fan. In real life, <a href="/news/articles/1674509/justin-bieber-paternity-suit-dropped-2.jhtml">Bieber faced such an allegation</a>, and it eventually faded away. If you ask anyone in the singer's camp, however, the track isn't exactly about a girl named Mariah Yeater.</P><P>"I think he has [a lot of personal songs on the album]. I think 'Be Alright' [is]. I think a lot of the album is very, very personal, but I think for tabloid purposes 'Maria' sparks a lot of interest," his manager, Scooter Braun, told MTV News. "But I don't know why. It's not about <i>anyone.</i> It's just a story. You know, legally it's not about anyone."</P><P>It might not be about someone with the initials "M" and "Y" directly, but Braun does say it speaks a lot to Bieber's celebrity status. Every move he makes is a headline, a topic that has been dissected in pop music for decades.</P><P>"Michael [Jackson] had this amazing record called 'Billie Jean' and [producer] Rodney Jerkins, Justin and I had a conversation about kind of what had Justin been through the last year and just how people talk and make up stories about him," Braun explained. He added that getting all the facts about a Bieber-related story isn't always necessary because "when it comes to Justin Bieber the hype alone is enough to get you CNN."</P><P>That theory ties into the paternity claim, which quickly escalated into one of the biggest stories of Bieber's young life, regardless of the truth of Yeater's claim. "There was a story that took place that was so false that it should have never even seen the light of day," Braun said. "And it ended up becoming international news. He has to deal with that kind of stuff and he wrote a song kind of addressing it and it's a pretty awesome song. And it's our 'Billie Jean.' "</p>
