Justin Bieber may be a little hip-hop, but he was looking more like a beach boy while on vacation in Barbados with his dad Jeremy!
Jeremy, who's just 37, looks a little more like an older brother than dad to the Biebs, who's 16, but being so close in age just means they have more in common!
"Finally ready for take off good thing I have in flight entertainment," Jeremy tweeted before the Bieber boys left Barbados to return to their home town of Toronto for a sold-out show at the Air Canada Centre Saturday night.
After the concert, Justin tweeted,"Three years ago I was on the side of the street busking in Stratford for anyone who would listen….2nite we sold out the ACC!! NEVER SAY NEVER!"
And he owes it all to his dad, who started off Justin's career in music when Jeremy taught him how to play the guitar as a kid!

Brad Pitt has a very unusual suggestion on how to deal with execs responsible for the BP oil spill in the gulf -- the death penalty!
The actor, who appears in Spike Lee's new documentary about New Orleans, says in the film when asked about the situation, "I was never for the death penalty before – I am willing to look at it again.â€Â
Pitt owns a home in the Southern city, as well as a foundation, Make It Right, dedicated to helping New Orleans residents attain affordable and sustainable housing following Katrina.
Lee's new film,
If God Is Willing and Da Creek Don't Rise was intended on being an uplifting sequel to his HBO doc,
When the Levees Broke, but the tone changed when disaster struck the area yet again.
And BP execs aren't the only ones being targeted in Lee's film. He also takes aim at the president.
Spike said, "I don't know why Obama ever trusted these BP guys! They would lie to their mothers. The thing we don't talk about is that 11 Americans lost their lives and it took seven weeks to invite their families to the White House. I'm not trying to bash my man, but that's a long time," the controversial director told GQ.
Lee also blames the slow response on "environmental racism," saying, "If this oil spill would have reached the Hamptons, Martha's Vineyard, Cape Cod, that [bleep] would have been fixed."

Posh and Becks continued their
sunny summer weekend in Malibu hanging out with friends - including
BFF celeb chef Gordon Ramsey - and their three children.
The whole family went to a party at a private home on Broad Beach in Malibu (with neighbors like Mel Gibson, Pierce Brosnan, and Stephen Spielberg). They and a group of about 20 friends enjoyed an hors d'ouerves buffet and drinks by the pool, delivered by a staff of five uniformed waiters. The party was spread out over three different balconies of the multi-million-dollar home.
The kids spent the entire time in the water -- boogie boarding on the beach and in the home's luxurious infinity pool.
But the activity of choice was PDA for David and Victoria! An X17 photographer on the scene tells us: "David and Victoria were so in love. They were hugging and kissing and just all over each other the whole time. It was really sweet. And Victoria in her short-shorts and tank top look she’s 22! These two are seriously the sexiest couple in Hollywood."
And yes, there are
even more pix of the soccer stud shirtless. Just click thru our monster gallery below. De-lish!

Actually, they're a much more private couple than say
Britney and Jason - no PDA for these two! Reese Witherspoon is a proper southern gal.
We caught up with the Oscar winner and her man Jim Toth shopping at the Malibu Country Mart yesterday at the James Perse sportswear boutique Yosemite. And Reese was her usual happy self! Our photographer comments: "Reese is so at ease with Jim. She used to be a little uptight when photographers were around and now she’s always in good spirits. Her new boyfriend really seems to make her relaxed and happy."
Could these two be the next ones to walk down the aisle?!

Well look who's flaunting their love again for all the world to see!
Britney Spears just loves those short shorts doesn't she? Hey, the pop princess looks pretty damn amazing in 'em! Not to mention the cute pink top. Brit showed off her stems and her beau Jason in Calabasas on Sunday. The twosome went on a shopping spree together and held hands the whole time!
How adorbs is that? Maybe this couple is meant to be. Britney might not have the most Twitter followers anymore -
Gaga strikes again - but she has love in her life!

Wasn't she supposed to be released this week? Guess not!
There have been back and forth reports questioning whether or not Lindsay Lohan will get released early from rehab at UCLA... and if she does, just
how early? Attorney Shawn Chapman Holley is next due in court to discuss a decision with the judge on
August 25th.
Hopefully LiLo stays in a bit longer! After all, it's only been a month since going to jail - and the original sentence was 90 days in prison followed by 90 days in rehab!
Meanwhile, while Lindsay is losing more and more days of freedom, she's nevertheless gaining something else: online followers!
LiLo had roughly 250,000 Twitter followers in December 2009, then in May 2010 she had (approximately) between 500,000-600,000.
How many
Twitter followers does Linds have today?
1,027,930! And she hasn't even Tweeted anything in over a month.
Does this mean Hollywood and the online world at large has grown even more obsessed with Lindsay while she's been away? You can't argue with the facts!

She's living such a normal, unglamorous life!
Camp Rock 2 starlet Demi Lovato partied in NYC for her birthday and, as evidenced here, is so popular now that fans almost attack her when she leaves her hotel. Calm down, peeps!
Hmm sidebar, girl is looking mighty adult-like for an eighteen year old!
