Bieber Radio Chat Goes "Horribly Wrong"

Justin Bieber's mom is causing problems in the radio world. One particular morning show host tweeted he has been suspended after asking the teen heartthrob about who she may or may not shack up with!

Justin Bieber' mom is one subject the teen sensation is not willing to discuss. Sure, maybe if the conversation was about milk and cookies and after school snacks — but if you dare to ask who she's doing the deed with prepare to be hung up on!

A recent Justin Bieber radio interview conducted by Mojo, of Mojo in the Morning fame, is being described as having gone "horribly wrong."

The first cringe-worthy moment during the cellphone chat came when Mojo attempted to give Justin Bieber a compliment by stating he thought a recent song of his sounded like Justin Timberlake. Not flattered at all, the "Maria" singer responded:

"Man, that's crazy 'cause our voices sound nothing alike. I mean, I'm not trying to sound like anyone. Saying I sound like someone else is not really a compliment... I think if you were to say I heard some Justin Timberlake-esque things in your sound I would take that as a compliment."

"Justin Timberlake is definitely really talented and is similar because he's white and he's singing pop, R&B. I think we both have the type of edge. I definitely want to have my own lane and not be compared. But I think he is super, super talented."

From there it only got worse, when Mojo attempted to asked 18-year-old Bieber if he was worried his mother, Patti Mallette, might hookup with One Direction's Harry Styles because of his reputation for seducing older ladies.

"I don't think you should worry about me [and my mom]," Justin Bieber replied to the ridiculously awkward question. He then added, "Worry about your mom, bro," before hanging up.

Mojo is now facing repercussions for his off-color question — or so he'd like you to think! He tweeted on June 30, "Suspended over @justinbieber? This is some bulls***... -Mojo," but added Monday morning, "Sorry if I made anyone think I'm suspended, I'm really on vacation."

I am so tired of Justin Bieber's entitlement and superiority complex. It was a freaking joke, and it was kind of funny. And who cares that he was compared to JT? I get it, he is rich as heck and all that and a bag of chips to tweens across the universe, but you are NOT JT yet bro. Lady Gaga gets compared to Madonna all the time and she never hangs up or walks out of an interview--because she has class and is not a spoiled baby brat. He still has to show the world that he can withstand the puberty transition of his voice and that he is more than just a Disney teenybopper. I cannot stand a celebrity who acts like this, it is disgusting. Just because he has money coming out of his ears, doesn't mean he gets to treat all of the world like we are nothing compared to him. Every day, he acts like a d*ck somehow and it is really irritating. I cannot believe this radio guy gets a two week suspension for asking a question (which he could have just refused to answer with a "no comment") and Biebs goes crying like a baby about all this speeding BS and we are supposed to feel sorry for his butt because the scary paparazzi are chasing him. He endangered the lives of hundreds of people just to get away from having his photo taken. You chose this life, punk, deal with it and try not to kill anyone, mmmkay?

Your mama jokes are so 90s and only funny when they aren't really true! The biebs seems like a caring and compassionate individual and is very close to his mom, so any joke referring to her hooking up with someone around his same age is just ridiculous and uncalled for! I would get upset too!!

You should never make jokes about one's mother. http://thecelebritycafe/feature/2012/07/justin-bieber-hangs-mojo-morning-host-after-comments-about-his-mom-video

That's funny since he did not mention going on vacation this week and his entire team is sending tweets about their 2 week suspension. He's trying to save face.
