After Justin Bieber's arrest last week, a slew of celebrity reactions littered the Internet. Some of them were downright cheeky and humorous (like RuPaul's drag version of the Biebs' mug shot), others were predictably scathing (remember Seth Rogen's tweet?), while some were truly concerned and worried.
"It's hard to hear all this news about @JustinBieber. I hope he makes his way to adulthood without him or anyone else getting hurt," Ellen de Generes tweeted.
"Yes, #JustinBieber has been acting like an a-hole, but that tends to happen when you give a young person unlimited funds and attention," former child star Mara Wilson chimed in via Twitter.
"Days like today remind us how much more compassion, understanding and tolerance we need to have for 1 another.. less judgement and critique," tweeted Ariana Grande.
Actress Goldie Hawn, when asked to comment about the Canadian pop star's arrest, said that it's "heartbreaking," the Daily Mail reported.
"It actually breaks my heart because I know what's going on. Now they're self-medicating and this is the most dangerous thing for them. Talent, sweetness, ability to manage - what good they could be doing, how happy they could be feeling. And as a mother - and a grandmother now - all I want to do is hold them," the Oscar awardee said, referring to today's new crop of celebrities.
Perhaps the teenaged artist just needs someone to hold him. And maybe that's why mentor Usher and manager Scooter Braun rushed to his side after the "Baby" singer went to Panama for a holiday shortly after his release. They could also be there to stage an intervention for the singer, in the hopes that he'd sick professional treatment and counselling.
"The two men who could feasibly halt the 19-year-old's downward trajectory were snapped posing with fans at the luxury resort where Justin and his entourage have bedded down," the Daily Mail said. TMZ also revealed that JB's childhood friend Ryan Butler is also in town for the "sit-down." Photos posted on social media by Beliebers and resort guests alike proved that the triumvirate did indeed fly in for the alleged much-needed talks.
Will Usher, Scooter, and Ryan manage to steer the young star to the right path this time?
