Bieber Hunting Season Open For Cougars

Justin Bieber is finally a legal adult! Will he start dating every older woman now that it's legal? He'll certainly have plenty to choose from, that's for sure.

Justin Bieber turns 18 Guess what, ladies: Justin Bieber is officially 18! That means all of us creepers can legally profess our love for the pop superstar without fearing a visit from the police.

JBiebs' newfound adult status isn't lost on him. The man with the 18 million Twitter followers sent out a cheeky tweet on his birthday letting all of the "older ladies" know his new situation.

"Dear cougars. I see the jokes. im legal. Hahaha," he tweeted.

Of course the "Baby" singer likes older women — he's dating 20-year-old Selena Gomez, after all.

The pop superstar is still very much a child when it comes to grown-up things like drugs, alcohol and sex.

"I'm not going to try to conform to what people want me to be or go out there and start partying, have people see me with alcohol. I want to do it at my own pace," he said in V Magazine's spring issue. "I don't want to start singing about things like sex, drugs and swearing. I'm into love, and maybe I'll get more into making love when I'm older. But I want to be someone who is respected by everybody."

He's hoping his career will go the distance, just like Michael Jackson — minus all the plastic surgery and propofol, of course.

"I want to be successful and be great at what I do. But eventually, I want to become the best at what I do," Bieber said. "I want to be better than anybody who's ever done it. And in order to do that, I need to strive to be the best, be good to people and treat people with respect, and work as hard as I can. Because for me, I work so hard and this consumes my life — it's not worth it if I'm not the best."

Happy Birthday, Justin!
