Is Justin Bieber a quadruple threat?
Justin Bieber has just entered yet another artistic medium and can confidently call himself a quadruple threat (quintuple if you count his ability to make teenage girls scream). Artistic Threat Re-Cap: 1.) Sings (duh…) 2.) Dances (he’s getting better.) 3.) Acts (he appeared on CSI’s season premier this season) 4.) Apparently he writes now, too. … Continue reading
