AceShowbiz - Justin Bieber's naughty behavior at Z100 Jingle Ball reportedly costs promoter around $1 million. The "Cold Water" hitmaker "was so late to the stage that he ended up costing the promoter millions of dollars in fines," according to an insider.
Justin reportedly arrived at 10:30 P.M. via the secret ramp into Madison Square Garden. "His car pulled up and he got out with his entourage and headed straight to his dressing room," says the insider, "Everyone was relieved to see him inside the building an hour before he was scheduled to take the stage at 11:30 P.M." However, the pop star was nowhere in sight when it was time for his curtain call.
The insider tells Radar Online, "Eventually the organizers had to knock on his dressing room door and beg him to take the stage. He was paid to perform for 30 minutes, but the Garden has a midnight curfew. Any show that goes on past midnight cost the promoter millions in fine."
According to the insider, Justin showed up at 11:45 P.M. but he refused to cut down his 30-minute set. "[Fearful of fines,] people were begging him again [when the clock straight midnight], but this time for him to end the show!" the insider reveals, "Justin refused to leave until 12:15 A.M., costing the producers millions and making a lot of fans mad that they missed their train home."
Justin performed a few of his hit songs including "Cold Water", "What Do You Mean", "Sorry", "Company" and "Where Are You Now" during his set.
A rep for Justin hasn't responded to a request for comment.
During his outing in Beverly Hills on Tuesday, the "Let Me Love You" crooner made fun of a paparazzo's face. He seemed to get frustrated when the photographer started asking questions about his recent hockey incident, Donald Trump and Kanye West.
"Why you gotta ask such stupid questions? You ask really dumb questions...I'm just trying to hang out with my boy," Justin said in a video captured by TMZ, before adding, "What's wrong with your face?"
