Justin Bieber Hosts, Performs & Addresses Weed Controversy on ‘SNL’

We won’t see Justin Bieber at tonight’s Grammys, but that didn’t stop the pop star from taking over Saturday Night Live this weekend. Bieber served double-duty as host and musical guest last night live from 30 Rock. Along with performing stripped down versions of “As Long As You Love Me” and the bonus “Nothing Like Us” (with guitarist Dan Kanter), off his chart-topping Believe acoustic album, the teen sensation starred in a few skits.
In one skit titled “The Miley Cyrus Show: Fan Club,” Justin addressed this photo that shows him holding a blunt. The report, broken by TMZ caused plenty of backlash as many feel smoking marijuana tarnishes the 18-year-old pop star’s clean image. “I also heard he got busted for smoking weed and he’s really sorry for it, and that people make mistakes and he’s never gonna do it again,” says Bieber while in costume.

I think it’s interesting that Justin decided to “apologize” about getting caught smoking weed on Saturday Night Live while in character, and not as himself. I don’t think it was worth anything though since most of his fans probably do not even watch SNL, and those are the only people who would expect or want an apology from him.
