While attention over the past few days has been focused on one Justin Bieber fan in particular - Selena Gomez, who totally made out with the singer in Norway over the weekend - the singer stopped today to show appreciation for his other followers as well.
All 38 million of them.
Yes, JB has reached that very impressive figure and, ignoring reports that many Twitter followers are fake, reached out to them earlier via the social network.
Just when you think things can't get worse for Justin Bieber...
A new report suggests the singer isn't nearly as popular on Twitter as once believed. In fact, half his followers aren't even considered real by the advanced metrics of social media!
According to Socialbakers, nearly half of Bieber's 37 million-plus followers are "fake," meaning their accounts are either spam; do not follow anyone except JB; and/or simply post retweets.
The most damning result of this study? It means Lady Gaga is actually the most popular Twitter user! The following chart proves she has 19 million legitimate followers, versus Justin's 17.8 million:
Do not anger the Beliebers.
It's a lesson that's inherent to those who report celebrity gossip, but one Olivia Wilde had to find out the hard way after chastising the singer on Twitter.
After Wilde told Justin Bieber to "put a f--king shirt on" earlier this month, her account was bombarded with irate messages from riled up Beliebers.
Very intelligent and totally sensible ones, obviously. Watch below as the actress reads some of the best Tweets she received on the Tonight Show ...
Wilde also offered a preface: "This started because Justin Bieber went out without his shirt on… he was in London, and it's so cold there and I was concerned."
Justin Bieber unleashed an epic rant on Twitter today, fresh off criticism leveled at the singer for often not wearing a shirt and for showing up late to a concert in London over the weekend.
"Rumors, rumors and more rumors," the singer wrote this morning. "Nothing more nothing less. might talk about them 1 day. rt now im just gonna be positive. cant bring me down."
But Justin was far from finished.
Likely referencing talk that he's dating British pop star Ella-Paige Roberts Clarke, he continued to rant about the tabloids, false stories - and the only entity that can judge him.
Forget who Justin Bieber may be dating. And forget any new Justin Bieber music that may be on the way.
Former Lost producer Damon Lindelof only cares about one thing: the choice of headgear this singer made while abroad this week.
Indeed, the following hat spawned a Twitter outburst the likes of which we've rarely seen yesterday. A few of the best Lindelof gems:
Bieber: 'How much for the huge yellow hat with spikes that looks painful?' Clerk: 'Fourteen Million Dollars.' Bieber: 'Sold, bitch!'
Yellow shiny spikes. I wear you golden love crown. Ooh baby baby. #BieberHatHaiku"
'That hat is f--king ridiculous.'" -- Johnny Depp, to Bieber, whilst wearing a dead peacock on his head.
That hat looks like Pac Man wandered into the gay bar from Police Academy.
FACT: The hat did NOT exist before the Russian Meteorite. Coincidence? GOOD LORD I HOPE SO.
Online shots have been fired in the feud between Justin Bieber and Patrick Carney.
It all started last weekend, when The Black Keys drummer said Bieber should not worry about his lack of Grammy nominations because the event is based around music, not money.
"And he's making a lot of money. He should be happy."
Translation: Bieber makes crappy music.
Justin then replied that Carney should be slapped for the comment, which has led Carney to make the above change to his Twitter profile.
When Justin Bieber mooned the camera over the weekend, the message was received loudly, clearly and nakedly by a whole bunch of people.
33,333,554 and counting, to be exact, as Bieber has taken over once again as the most followed individual on Twitter, regaining the title he once owned from Lady Gaga, who is stuck at a paltry 33,328,937.
While Justin has not commented yet on the achievement, the hashtag "#33MillIonBeliebers" spread over the social media service last week after Bieber surpassed that figure.
Next up for The Biebs? Instagram, where his 6.1 million followers are creeping close to Kim Kardashian and her 6.3 million. Come on, Beliebers. Take her down!
He may not have been nominated for any Grammys.
And Yahoo! users may have been more curious about Kim Kardashian.
But Justin Bieber had one thing going for him in 2012: Twitter. The company announced today that this singer was the most Tweeted about celebrity of the past 12 months.
Bieber leads a top five that includes Zayn Malik, Demi Lovato, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson.
Yes, the boys of One Direction are well represented, and for good reason: Each band member enjoyed the biggest percentage increase in Twitter followers among celebrities for the year, with Niall Horan actually leading at 712%.
Justin Bieber won the Diamond Jubilee Medal over the weekend, accepting the honor while donning an adorable pair of overalls.
And soon after receiving the honor from Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Bieber dropped trou and was donning nearly nothing at all in an especially sexy Instagram photo.
See for yourself:
Justin Bieber Underwear Alert! Justin Bieber Underwear Alert!
Clearly following the lead of many revealing Rihanna Twit pics, Bieber included the caption "Back in the Gym" along with this image.
Yet one can't help but wonder: might this be a message for Selena Gomez? Is Justin trying to give the artist an idea of what she's missing?
It wouldn't be the first time a picture of Justin Bieber shirtless was intended for this purpose.
Contrary to previous rumors/prayers of every 14-year old girl across the country, Justin Bieber and One Direction will not be collaborating on any music in the near future.
"We've never actually been asked by him," Liam Payne told E! News, while Louis Tomlinson added he doesn't even know if the two sides would mesh: "I think we both do quite different things. We make different music. He's doing his thing, and we're doing our thing.
However, Bieber and a couple One Direction members are cooking up something together: an actual meal of food!
Niall Horan and Zayn Malik stopped by Bieber's house last night, following the MTV Video Music Awards, and shared the experience with a few million Twitter followers.
"At my house cooking some noodles with @NiallOfficial," Bieber Tweeted along with these photos, adding: "Guys night in full effect."
Earlier in the evening, Horan, Malik and their fellow group members took home three VMA trophies and also performed the smash "One Thing." All in all, in other words: not a shabby few hours.
Justin Bieber is a young, wildly popular singer. He dominated the music world in 2010, earning the most YouTube videos AND becoming the...
