Idiot for the day

Josh Voorhees has a Slate article about yet another stupid rich kid from Hollywood:

Good luck today, Internet, you're going to need it. The Miami Herald has the news:

Pop star Justin Bieber was arrested in Miami Beach, Florida on charges of DUI and drag-racing, a police spokesman said. The bad-boy musician’s entourage had apparently used their cars to block traffic on Pine Tree Drive at 26th Street, a residential area, at 4:30 am, creating a drag strip for the young star, who was in a Lamborghini.
Test showed that Bieber was under the influence of drugs, Miami Beach Police Chief Raymond Martinez told the Miami Herald. Bieber told officers that he had a beer, was under the influence of anti-depressants, and had been smoking marijuana all day, according to police sources.
Bieber's rented Lamborghini was being trailed by multiple SUVs when officers began to give chase, according to police sources who spoke with local television affiliate NBC 6 South Florida. Given how fast the Canadian pop star was traveling, it apparently took some time for the cops to catch up to him and the other car he was racing. According to the story Martinez relayed to the Herald, Bieber was largely incoherent when officers finally reached him, and was less than cordial, managing to resist arrest without violence, but with a barrage of f-words. For good measure: he also did not have a valid license, according to police.
Bieber failed a field sobriety test, according to police, and was taken to a police station for processing. He was expected to be moved to the county jail at some point. The arrest represents only Bieber's latest brush with the law. Earlier this month, one of his Los Angeles, California neighbors accused Bieber and his entourage of egging of his home. Officers then searched the singer's home, during which one of his friends was arrested for possession of drugs. "We didn't do this search warrant to send a message," Sheriff's Lieutenant David Thompson said then. "That's not what we do, but we hope maybe that understanding the gravity of this will change some of the behavior."

Rico says he never liked the kid anyway, and this isn't helping, but thirty days in jail might. (And there's gotta be a Bieber-and-Butthead pun in there somewhere...)
