Justin Bieber's stolen laptop hoax fizzles as it fails to garner much interest in his new video with Nicki Minaj.
Justin Bieber’s fifteen minutes of fame are coming to an end.
In a move of utter desperation, Bieber’s management– according to several entertainment sites–supposedly created a hoax this week to promote his new video. Bieber tweeted that his computer and camera had been stolen. Next, a lewd, nude picture of purportedly him turned up on TMZ. Then a new official video came out, and it turned out that the picture wasn’t of him, and that the video was the supposed material that had been stolen.

The net-net: the song, “Beauty and a Beat,” has not caused much of a stir on iTunes, where downloads put it at around number 50. On YouTube, there have been over 5 million free viewings for the very expensive looking video, but– and this might be important– only 255,000 times have fans “liked” it. And 22,000 haven’t “liked” it. “Beauty and a Beat,” disposable pop featuring Nicki Minaj (who has to be paid), is clearly a loss leader for the tour.
Bieber’s album, “Believe,” has not been much of a hit. Another single, “As Long as You Love Me,” has been a very modest hit.
And the tour: Bieber has started his tour with Carly Rae Jepsen in Canada, his birthplace. There, the ticket sales look ok. But in the US, it’s a different story. The secondary ticket market is flooded. Hundreds of thousands of tickets are available on Stubhub.com depending on the sizes of the venues. At Madison Square Garden, it’s a buyer’s market, that’s for sure.
And that’s interesting for everyone because a recent report out of Nashville suggest that Bieber’s management is scalping its own seats to make more money.

Phil Williams, reporting out of Newschannel 5 in Nashville, uncovered a cache of documents that show how Bieber’s team is allegedly ripping off fans. According to Williams, Bieber’s management hasn’t responded to the accusations. It’s a must-read story, however, and explains why there are so many tickets on Stubhub. Of course, the irony will be that the marked up tickets don’t sell. The Bieber team could go to the cleaners.Jacked from Showbiz 411

He and his team thought he could go the Timberlake route.
In the words of Charlie Murphy: "WRONG!"
Cute, scrawny 18 year old white boys need to stay in the pop lane. Maybe next time he will listen to his mother.
Making the same mistake as his handler (Usher). Smdh
That's what happens when you're a gimmick pop artist. You're part of a never ending chain and can be replaced as soon as the next pop act comes along. Beiber replaced the Jonas brothers, now One Direction is replacing him and so on and so forth.
When was this post written because I checked his youtube, and the video has more than 1 million views. I think it's even up to 20 million
Aren't there "bots" on Youtube that bump up video views/subscribers? Kind of like Twitter and Facebook
I swear there's nothing authentic about the "entertainment" world. And yes Beiber better build up some muscle mass and join "Ax Men" in Canada because his days as a pop star are numbered.
stop supporting him immediately. these PR stunts are lame
