Beyoncé and Jay Z Display Justin Bieber's Mug Shot During Concert

As part of their On the Run tour — which mostly serves as a safe space for Jay Z and Beyoncé to share home videos and other remembrances — the couple showed a slideshow of celebrity mug shots. A featured member of that slideshow was none other than Justin Bieber, prompting Teen Twitter to beat its breast and gnash its teeth in fury and confusion.

Footage of the concert shows Jay Z performing “H to the Izzo” while a procession of celebrity mug shots flash in the background. At one point he yells, “Poof,” the music cuts out, and Bieber’s giant grinning face appears — eliciting cheers from the crowd. Apparently, Beyoncé then told the gathered masses, “Even the greatest can fall.” Justin Bieber: the greatest among us. Justin Bieber: The Once and Future King.

Anyway, some Bieber fans (who, against all odds, still exist out there in the universe) took offense; others were sort of excited. The Biebs himself retweeted a photo of Jay Z performing beneath the giant mug shot, so I think it’s safe to assume that he’s not too upset about it. [NY Daily News, Mirror]

After making another irritating public gesture of contrition to “win his estranged ex-wife back” (which is garbage-human speak for “sell records”) by performing a song entitled “Forever Love” at the BET Awards, Robin Thicke tweeted a photo of him and Paula Patton back in the halcyon days. You know, the good old times before he got famous and cheated on her a ton. Sigh. [Bossip]
