Justin Bieber has had an eventful few weeks, the results of which are pending legal actions in Toronto, Florida, and Los Angeles.
After a five hour search by officials at New Jersey’s Teterboro airport over suspicions of marijuana onboard – no drugs were found – the teen star and his crew hit the NYC Super Bowl party circuit on Friday night ahead of today’s game.
First up, 1Oak club, then uptown Manhattan for Maxim’s “Big Game Weekend” at Espace.
According to People , a casually dressed Bieber and his 13-strong entourage arrived shortly before 2 am through the back entrance of the club, and were escorted to a roped-off private table in the back of the room.
Multiple outlets report Justin was denied entrance into at least two other events because of his age, which may explain why he stayed at Maxim until lights up, leaving at 04:10 am the Hollywood Reporter notes.
The trade added Bieber didn’t appear to be in the best of moods, but seemed to enjoy the attention at the event. It’s said the star spent his time with male pals and one blonde invited into his booth with a time-honored flashlight method. They also reportedly left together.
Aware of the 19-year-old’s underage status, party organizers reportedly put eight security guards around his table to ensure he wasn’t drinking. Sources say he wasn’t.
Typically, Bieber’s own bodyguards were taking no prisoners and were seen shining lights at or knocking phones out of the hands of people who tried to photograph the singer.
At one point during the evening, the “ Baby ” star flipped off a house photographer when he saw them snapping.

Invariably in headlines, even by his own standards, the pop prince’s recent news has been hard to avoid.
On January 29, Justin surrendered to Toronto police and was charged with assault over an alleged attack on a limousine driver back in December. A lawyer for the singer later released a statement that his client was innocent .
Additionally, Steve Salem, manager of VIP Limousines Toronto insists Bieber didn’t start the alleged assault on their driver, but says the singer’s entourage is responsible for carrying out the attack.
“It did not start because of him, but he was involved,” said Salem, adding. “That’s what I heard.”
This latest charge came the same day a not guilty plea was filed Bieber’s charges of – DUI, resisting arrest without violence, and driving with an expired license – following his arrest in Miami Beach while allegedly drag racing in a Lamborghini.
Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, Justin remains a prime suspect in felony vandalism and assault investigation after his neighbor alleged the pop star egged his home.
It prompted a police raid at the Canadian’s home on January 14 looking for evidence that might connect him to the incident.
Although it’s reported no evidence was found from seized home security video, three felony charges have been brought against Bieber’s live-in pal Lil Za .
The aspiring rapper has been charged with two counts of felony possession of both Ecstasy and Oxycodone found during the raid and another felony charge for vandalizing a phone at the sheriff’s station he was taken that day.
Many fans, and doubtless Bieber’s battalion of lawyers, will be hoping his Super Bowl Day passes without incident.
