Justin Bieber

LOS ANGELES: The hits just keep on coming. Or they will, anyway, when Justin Bieber gets roasted on Comedy Central.

This is really happening, according to Ryan Seacrest:

“yes I got confirmation @JustinBieber is getting roasted by @ComedyCentral in march…love u justin but it’s time lol #BieberRoast”

And according to the pop singer himself:

“For years I have wanted Comedy Central to roast me. They said only if I provided them w/ more material so for a year now I have worked hard

“Lol. #BieberRoast”

In a news release, Comedy Central announced that it is “turning up the heat on pop icon Justin Bieber.” Biebs, the cable network said, “will be this year’s Roastee,” the star of the “Comedy Central Roast of Justin Bieber,” which will be taped in Los Angeles and aired at a date that hasn’t yet been announced.

“Justin has been asking us for a few years to roast him, and we just kept telling him to go create more source material first. We’re thrilled he listened,” Kent Alterman, Comedy Central’s president of content development and original programming, said in a statement that alluded to the ever-expanding Book of Justin Bieber Tomfoolery and Buffoonery.

But perhaps in the most obvious case of “be careful what you wish for,” the tiny singer is opening up a very large can of potential worms. There are so many choices for the roasters about which part of Bieber they will attack. His preening Instagram selfies? His egg-throwing shenanigans? His phone-rubbing issues? His attempt at stripping being met with boos? His uncovered racist jokes? His supposedly Photoshopped nether regions? Any one of his legal problems?
