Justin Bieber is on a roll today. After going on a five tweet-long rant apologizing to his followers for running from them in France, the 17-year-old pop star tweeted a photo of himself with his two best friends — director Alfredo Flores and his childhood buddy, Ryan Butler.

“We’re the 3 best friends that anyone could have,” Justin tweeted Jan. 31.

Justin and Alfredo have worked together for years now and Justin recently gave Ryan a car for Christmas. Talk about being a great friend!

All the tourists and surfers hanging out on Venice Beach in Calif. last Friday, Jan. 6 probably didn’t think anything of the random teenager walking around with a gold mask, especially because street performers are a dime a dozen there. However, the stranger in the mask was actually the one and only Justin Bieber!

Before heading down to Cabo with his girlfriend, Selena Gomez, the 17-year-old pop star spent time on the beach with his best friend, Ryan Butler, and his dad, Jeremy. Apparently he wanted to go unnoticed, so he threw on a creepy Cirque de Soleil-style mask and no one bugged him! Genius!

It seems as though Justin took a cue from his idol, Michael Jackson, who used to make his kids wear masks in public. Good thinking, Justin.

Do YOU think you’d recognize Justin when he’s wearing his mask? Sound off below!

Justin Bieber took his BFF Ryan Butler to the Toronto Raptors game on Dec. 28, and even though the players were heating up on the court, Justin appeared to be keeping his eye on a different type of action!

Justin, 17, and Ryan were at the Air Canada Centre, where it seems the cheerleaders presented a welcome distraction from the game. Boys will be boys — they were just checking out the view!

Unfortunately, the cheerleaders couldn’t help lift his home team to victory over the Indiana Pacers, who won 90-85.

Do YOU think Selena Gomez should be annoyed that Justin was checking out other ladies, HollywoodLifers?

Justin Bieber is so generous to his friends, and this Christmas he gave his bestie Ryan Butler an amazing present — a Ford Mustang convertible!

Ryan took to Twitter on Dec. 25 to write, “Justin got me a present. #swag!!!” He included a picture of the car as well — and it’s pretty incredible!

It’s no wonder Justin is taking such good care of his buddy — after all, Ryan’s family helped to raise Justin as a kid!

Justin Bieber is turning into a gentleman, and he credits his manners and disposition to his ‘other father and mother!’

Justin, 17, grew up for several years with Martin and Sharon Butler when his birth mother Pattie Mallette needed support, the Daily Mail reports. Along with their son, his BFF Ryan Butler, a support system was created that saved Justin from a difficult upbringing.

After all, Justin was born to Pattie when she was just 17 and in a relationship with Jeremy Bieber, a local carpenter with an assault record. Needless to say, Pattie needed plenty of help raising her child, and the Butlers assisted with “additional parenting.”

What do you think, HollywoodLifers — are you so happy Justin has such a great support system?

The Biebz tried to get revenge on one unlucky kid in Detroit, who ended up getting thousands of phone calls and texts — he even has the video to prove it! We hope Justin plans on paying this kid’s phone bill!

It looks like Justin Bieber may not be perfect after all, he tweeted out the phone number of an enemy as a way of getting revenge! Gawker reports, “Saturday night, a tweet appeared then quickly vanished on teen heartthrob Justin Bieber’s verified Twitter account: ‘everyone call me 248-XXX-XXXX :) or text’. The number belonged to a teen in Detroit, and Justin apparently tweeted it out of revenge.” Come on Justin!

The tweet disappeared soon after, but was up long enough for Kevin Kristopik, a Detroit teenager, to receive thousands of calls and texts!

As for why Justin did this, “it appears to be payback on some level for Kristopik hacking the Twitter account of a childhood friend of Justin’s named Ryan Butler, and using it to get Justin’s phone number. On July 27th, Kristopik tweeted ‘im the one who hacked ryan and got justins #.’ When asked today on Twitter, ‘You hacked ryan, and now jb wants payback so he tweeted your number?’ Kristopik repied, ‘Kinda.’”

Kevin had been texting Justin his father, Mike Kristopik, admits. It seems Justin grew fed up and upset about how he had gotten the number and planned his revenge.

Kevin turned off his phone after receiving an estimated 26,000 texts and there is a very real chance he will have a LARGE phone bill to deal with — something we think Justin should DEFINITELY be paying for!

Check out this video below of Kevin’s repeated phone calls and texts. It looks like Justin owes this kid a HUGE apology!
