Justin Bieber celebrates his 21st birthday

JUSTIN Bieber celebrated his 21st birthday on March 1, by renting a private Caribbean isle near Grenada for a party that started last Saturday evening (February 28).

In the past few weeks, The Baby singer had been making a string of appearances on the Ellen DeGeneres show to try and undo the bad boy reputation he created for himself following his scandals involving throwing eggs at his neighbour’s house, street racing and late night partying.

Apart from that, recently the singer has moved from a $60,000-a-month mansion to a measly $35,000-a-month hovel in Beverly Hills. The 6,000sqft two-storey house, boasts just five bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms and four fireplaces, with a mix of white terrazzo, Brazilian hardwood floors, home theatre, office, ‘chef’s gourmet kitchen’, a large grassy yard with beautiful pool and ‘serenity fountain’. The 10,236sqft lot also features stunning views of the surrounding canyon and of Century City below.
