Who does Justin hang out with?

Justin Bieber seems to be loved by everybody. Even those who favor music other than the pop tunes that Justin brings seem to like the kid for other reasons. When Justin’s debut film “Justin Bieber: Never Say Never” hit movie theaters nationwide in February 2011, lots of people that saw it, even if they went with their kids or other friends rather than to see the film specifically. And, they left the theaters with a newfound respect for the ambitious and down-to-earth seventeen year old. Because the film portrays actual events and struggles in real life, many couldn’t deny the fact that they were inspired with his positive attitude and the “never give up” mentality of the film.  Justin has appeared with many celebrity legends that have been around the Hollywood scene, most long before Justin was ever born. In a woman’s magazine (not teen magazine), he appeared alongside the models for a fashion spread. Who doesn’t love the kid?

Of course, anybody that is loved and respected by such a broad spectrum of the general population, fellow musicians and other celebrities, has a ton of friends. So, who has he been spotted with? Who does he call just to “hang out” for the fun of it, without the cameras?. He still keeps in touch with the kids from his hometown, Stratford, Ontario, in Canada and even gave us fans a few names, Samuel MacKennitiy,Connie Gould, Natasha Delgado, Victoria Racz and Ryan Conx. But with his engaging personality and the positive demeanor it attracted celebrities as well. At the very beginning of the Justin Bieber “Fever”, R&B legend Usher along with Justin Timberlake befriended the singer.  Timberlake also started as a teenage heart throb, as a member of N*SYNC, one of the most popular boy bands of the later half of the 1990′s. After that, Timberlake and a handful of his band mates went on to produce solo records. Timberlake had great success and came out with several solo albums, and was even featured in some tracks here and there by several different hip-hop and rap artists, like the hit song “Dead and Gone”, by T.I. Timberlake also showed us he is a talented actor as well when we saw him in feature films. His box office success was solidified when he played a bad-boy in the wonderfully well-written tragedy “Alpha Dog”. Justin Bieber has made formal and public recognition and expressed his appreciation and respect he has for the two seasoned stars who helped him climb the ladder to fame after discovering him on YouTube. He still hangs out with both of them, and has stayed overnight at their homes to get a break from the tour bus when he pops into town. To this day, all three have nothing but good things to say about each other. Usher even wrote an article about Justin, his hard work and accomplishments and easy going personality in the annual ’100 Most Influential People’ edition of TIME magazine. Get the juicy details from us, check out my post about the article Usher wrote about Justin, “Usher writes article about Justin in TIME Magazine”

Justin Bieber,and his family are also family friends with Will Smith’s family. Jada Pinkett Smith, the 2 children they have together, Jaden Christopher Syre Smith and Willow Camille Reign Smith all “hang out” with the Biebers.  Justin told an interviewer that when they come through town, his entire family stays at their home. Justin also hangs out with his tour mate, Sean Kingston. Not long ago, Sean was in a jet skiing accident, and taken to the hospital. Luckily, he didn’t get hurt as bad as he could have, but his friends were all worried about him. The night of the accident, Justin posted a tweet in regards to Kingston on Twitter, asking his followers to keep Kingston and his health in their prayers. The actual tweet reads “Got my friend @seankingston in my prayers tonight. a true friend and big bro. please keep him in your prayers tonight as well.” Justin later updated his followers on Kingston’s status via Twitter, “Alot of you are asking about @seankingston – he is doing better but out of respect to his family I will wait for them to comment… I will continue to pray and support my friend. #getwellsean”.

At a basketball game, Justin chatted with the UK soccer super star, David Beckham. He brought his good friend Jayden Smith to the game with him, and somewhere around halftime, the two teens found themselves surrounded by cheerleaders! Speaking of females, Justin has a lot of female friends as well. Female celebrities like Katy Perry and Rhianna can’t get enough of him, and think he is absolutely adorable and love being photographed with the cutie! The three have the most adorable photo together, with Katy kissing his cheek on one side, and Rhianna on the other. You didn’t think I’d forget Selena Gomez, did you? The two have been spotted together for years, and although they used to deny any romantic relationship, with both of them making statements about how they are “Just Friends”, but they must  have missed each other quite a lot while Justin spent time on the road. At the end of the tour, as Justin’s arrived back home, the two are practically attached at the hip! At the Billboard Music Awards, he brought Selena Gomez as his date, and the two shared a very public, and award show worthy kiss. (Read up on the rest of what happened that night, and to see how many of the 11 awards he was nominated for he won. The scoop is in our own article,“Justin wins big at the Vegas Billboard Music Awards”) They also went on a tropical getaway to Maui together to relax by the waves and enjoy the island sun.

Aw, Justin is such a likable person, no wonder he has so many fans, from teens to soccer moms, even other A-list celebrities. He’s got friends across North America, and probably picked up a few more pals to stay in contact with during his world tour. What would you do if you were one of Justin’s friends? Where would you go, and what would you do?
