Justin Bieber makes no secret how much he loves and appreciates his fans, but that doesn’t mean he can’t have some fun at their expense every now and then. The Proactiv plugger pretended to be the director of a new commercial for the anti-acne agent — and let’s just say Steven Spielberg has nothing to worry about just yet.

Bieber disguises his voice as he speaks into a megaphone to direct his subjects in the clip. He instructs one young lady to smile into the camera and flip her hair, another to “pick up the white bottle” (they’re all white!), another to give him a “flirty smile.” It’s hard to flirt when you’re promoting zit cream, bro!

The Biebs is clearly having fun with the girls, who are completely oblivious that he’s their director. “Smile like you just lost a cat,” Bieber says, “and then you found him.” He can barely contain his laughter when he directs one girl to raise the Proactiv higher and higher in the clip, then telling another girl to “smile like you just got your allowance” and having a pair of girls spin around until they’re dizzy.

When Bieber finally makes his big reveal, the girls are absolutely stunned, but so starstruck that they couldn’t help but sing his praises. When asked if Bieber was a good director, the most they could muster was a huge grin and a faint “Yes.”

“One of the most important issues about that show, was not only the acts, but the men and women on the floor. It was 1 factor to see Aretha or Michael Jackson and the Jackson five. It was yet another thing to see a bunch of individuals responding to it. This display was really distinct, and that was really, very critical.

“MTV type of notoriously ignored black acts in its very first years… [When MTV got into rap], ‘Soul Train’ played these acts, but Don Cornelius was never ever as at ease with it.

Joy Division is well-known for currently being a single of rock’s darkest, most intense bands, so it comes as no shock that their followers didn’t have a lot of a sense of humor about Disney promoting a Mickey Mouse t-shirt based on the cover of their 1979 classic Unknown Pleasures. Following some outrage from followers – as properly as some bitter remarks from bassist Peter Hook – Disney pulled the item, even though the shirt is now accessible at an inflated value on eBay.
