Justin Bieber’s Birthday Gift to His Mother Was Humiliation and Burnt Hair

Next time your mom’s complaining about the bunk birthday gift you got her, just point her in the direction of this story.

Last night during a show in Berlin, Justin Bieber pulled his mother up on stage to present her with a birthday cake and have the audience sing her “Happy Birthday,” but when she leaned over the cake to blow out the candles, her hair caught on fire. Justin quickly extinguished the flame with his hand and his poor mom got to jump off stage (and then probably binge eat that cake after experiencing such public shame,) but damn. Having “Happy Birthday,” which is easily one of the most annoying songs of all time, sung to you by thousands of teenage girls and then getting your hair caught on fire sounds pretty bad, especially if you’re a Bieber.

What’s the worst birthday gift you ever got for your mom on her big day? I, admittedly, forgot my mother’s 42nd birthday all together and I still have a hard time forgiving myself for it. At least, you know, I didn’t set flame to her dome in front of a stadium full of people.
