Although the teen star always preaches positivity even he's acknowledged that 2013 has been a particularly rough ride. On New Year's Day a photographer was killed crossing the street after taking pictures of Bieber's Ferrari. Bieber who wasn't present at the scene said in a statement While I was not present nor directly involved with this tragic accident my thoughts and prayers are with the family of the victim. In January Bieber was photographed holding what TMZ identified as marijuana. He poked fun of the incident when he hosted Saturday Night Live in February. I also heard he got busted for smoking weed and he's really sorry about it and that people make mistakes and that he's never going to do it again Bieber said while playing a character during a skit with Vanessa Bayer. At the end of January a Twitpic appearing to show the singer touching a female fan's chest went viral. Both the Belieber and Bieber's rep denied he was touching her breast. Unfortunately for Bieber his 19th birthday in March was kind of a downer. After being snubbed by the Grammys Bieber headed for London to celebrate his big day. But it ended up being what he tweeted was his worst birthday. Not only was he ragged on by actress Olivia Wilde for going shirtless in the city he also had a bit of beef with a weak a club. Bieber ticked off his fans in March after he showed up a reported two hours late to a concert at London's O2 Arena. He disputed that in a tweet however saying he was only 40 minutes behind schedule. Bieber later wound up sick in a London hospital. Being a lusted after star it's not surprising that he tried to show how well he felt by posting a shirtless photo of himself online. Bieber and photographers we've learned by now don't mix. As he exited the hospital at the end of his turbulent week the singer got into a shouting match with a paparazzo in London telling the photographer that he'd f him up. After he was ragged on by Wilde for going topless in London Bieber strolled through a Polish airport terminal sans shirt on March 25. Bieber lost his pet monkey Mally when the capuchin was taken by custom officials in Germany at the end of March. Mally is shown here in the quarantine station at the Munich Riem animal shelter in Munich. In April Bieber visited the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam and was promptly criticized for saying that he hoped the teen who died in a Nazi concentration camp in 1945 would have been a Belieber. Visitors to the Anne Frank Facebook page had plenty to say. Glad he went but the last sentence is VERY self serving. he missed the lessons of Anne totally wrote one observer. In May a fan rushed Bieber on stage and attempted to grab him during a concert in the United Arab Emirates. Later that month a safe in a stadium in Johannesburg South Africa was raided after a Bieber performance. May didn't end on a high note either. As Bieber accepted the Milestone Award at the Billboard Music Awards very loud boos competed with very loud cheers the magazine reported. In June another chapter was added to Bieber's history book of driving drama. The singer was reportedly involved in a Los Angeles accident involving a pedestrian. A leaked video in July seemed to show Bieber relieving himself in a janitor's mop bucket and then spraying a photo of Bill Clinton with what appeared to be a cleaner fluid while saying F Bill Clinton. Bieber later apologized to the former president but personalities like Anthony Bourdain and Mario Batali had a field day. Was he saving his energy for his fans or just courting more controversy In October the day after a concert in Beijing Bieber was snapped letting his bodyguards carry him up the stairs at the Great Wall of China. While on tour in early November Bieber yet again made headlines this time with some sex related scandal. The New York Post's Page Six alleged that Bieber had been spotted exiting a brothel while in Brazil. Then a YouTube video sparked gossip that he'd done something less than innocent with the young woman featured in the clip. Bieber's camp has had no response on the chatter. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17
Los Angeles (CNN) Either Justin Bieber is having a wild time on his South American tour or media reports of the 19 year old singer's antics are off the mark.
Many reports barely rise above the gossip threshold but they echo throughout the tabloids and mainstream media.
What you should believe and why you should care is a raging debate online with Twitter Facebook YouTube and beyond.
My truth is in the music Bieber said in a message to his 46 million Twitter followers this week. It was posted the same day his newest single Bad Day released.
Journalists know very little about what goes on in Bieber's private life. He is constantly surrounded by bodyguards and his representatives consistently refuse to confirm deny or comment on any reports that surface.
Bieber has a bad weekend in Brazil
But that does not limit speculation much of it based on paparazzi photos and video of the teen's comings and goings.
The New York Post's Page Six column published several photos last weekend that the newspaper said implied the singer was enjoying the services of Brazil's legal prostitutes while on his South America tour.
One photo showed a man walking out of a Rio de Janerio brothel under a blanket and surrounded by bodyguards. No face is visible but the Post says Bieber could be identified by his gray wraparound wrist tattoo which is visible in some photos and his signature sneakers.
Another photo shows two women in a vehicle that the newspaper said took them from the brothel to the hotel where Bieber was staying.

Belieber Rorschach test
The media frenzy over Bieber's alleged sexcapades grew after a video appeared on YouTube on Wednesday that apparently was recorded by a young woman excited about her quiet time with the entertainer.
The 15 second clip does not show Bieber doing anything scandalous. He's just sleeping. The tattoos on his arms the earring his baby face short blond hair and red ball cap are all familiar identifiers.
The woman pans the camera to reveal Bieber sleeping under a blanket then points it at herself while flashing a big grin. It ends with her blowing a kiss toward him.
The video is something of a Rorschach test to diagnose if you are a Belieber the term used for Bieber's diehard fans. They always believe the best of their idol.
But un Beliebers suggested the woman was one of the two females who left with Bieber from the brothel although they have no way of connecting her to that night.
He didn't sleep with her one Belieber said in one of the 7 300 comments posted under the YouTube video. Justin brought girls back home and he threw a small party. Chicken nuggets Doritos a pool table etc. etc.
She offered more details though she didn't reveal how she would know anything about Bieber's actions.
The girls got their phone confiscated so they wouldn't take pictures the fan wrote. Obviously because he wanted to have fun without any media around. But when all the girls left they got their phone back. So did this girl. When this girl got her phone back she sneaked in and filmed him while sleeping. Explains why the video was so short.
Bieber Just gotta know your truth
The truth is we don't know the truth. We do know that Justin Bieber is at what can be an awkward point in a teenage idol's career. He's months away from no longer being a teenager. Making the transition from kid to adult is tough enough but Bieber has the world watching.
Chasing Bieber is a popular lucrative and dangerous sport for paparazzi. It has led several times to traffic citations for both the singer and the photographers. Punches have allegedly been thrown during confrontations.
Bieber unlike some other teen stars has managed to stay out of criminal court although he has been accused and investigated.
His hit songs keep coming. His concerts sell out. And the world can't divert its eyes away from him.
Can't believe or dwell on the bs. Just gotta know your truth. U can't bring us down Bieber told fans in a Tuesday tweet.
