Bieber's Paying a Lot of $$$ for Egg-Gate

by Allyson Koerner

Remember when Justin Bieber was a wee one singing about love, being admired for his hairstyle, and making fans faint thanks to his dance moves? Where has the time gone? Now, the singer is making headlines for completely different reasons. Case in point, Justin Bieber is forking over $80,000 in restitution in connection with egg-gate aka the time he threw eggs at his former neighbor's house this past January. That will (or, hopefully, it should) teach him and anyone else to never, ever egg someone's home. It's just plain rude and obnoxious.

As part of his punishment, Bieber is also required to attend anger management courses. So far, he's already completed one-third of the requirement. Per Bieber's attorney, Shawn Holley, the singer has been to four classes, in addition to completing his mandatory five days of community service. According to his attorney, Bieber is also said to be finished his punishments by Feb. 10, 2015. However, he will still remain on probation until 2016.

I guess some good does come out of this as Bieber is helping others, albeit forcefully. TMZ reports the singer will serve the rest of his community service with MusiCares, a non-profit organization providing "a safety net of critical assistance for music people in times of need."

What do we learn from this? Don't act like Bieber, ever, or you'll most likely be $80,000 poorer and remembered for your childish actions — even if your mugshot was somewhat decent.
