Justin Bieber: Looks Like The Bieber Is Getting His Tough Guy On

When I think of the Bieber (in truth I never do unless I hear or see his name, like today) the last thing I’m thinking about is him being anything that resembles a tough guy.

Turns out that the Bieb is out to change that perception.

It looks on Sunday and is being reported that the Bieb assaulted a paparazzo as he (Bieber) and his girlfriend, Selena Gomez were leaving a shopping center in Calabasas, Calif when witnesses say that the Bieb, pissed that he was being photographed, rushed from the van he was getting into and had, shall-we-say: words with the cameraman. According to a press release from the Malibu Sheriff's Office, the photographer reported that the singer "physically battered" him during the confrontation and needed medical attention. The Photog was later released from an area hospital.

Although, witnesses did tell TMZ that that the photographer had trapped the Bieb's car and refused to move it which ultimately caused the altercation and afterwards that the photographer was then approached by a lawyer who happened to be there and advised him that he should call the police and make a report.

The Bieb, however, made his escape before officers arrived on scene.

LA County Sheriffs are investigating the incident and plan on interviewing the teenage singer.

I guess the Bieb has found some balls while hanging out with Rappers and Boxers or is at least trying to appear that way. That, and how sad is that the photog needed medical attention after his run in with the Bieb.

So far there has been no word from the Bieb’s peeps and he (Bieber) took to Twitter -his favorite mouth piece- and told followers the he was "gonna focus on the important stuff. the music."
