19 Things You (Maybe) Didn't Know About Justin Bieber-- Check 17

Justin Bieber turns 19 years old today, but it seems like he’s been around forever. But how well do you really know the Biebs? (If you’re a responsible grownup, we’re betting, not as well as you think you do.) Read these 19 facts about the Canadian pop sensation, and you’ll be a Belieber in no time.
1. He’s the first solo artist to have four Top 40 singles before even releasing an album.

2. He is the youngest artist to have five number-one albums in the U.S.
3. He delayed the start of his Jan. 7, 2013 concert in Salt Lake City, Utah, because he was visiting a 7-year-old girl with leukemia in the hospital.
4. He likes the movie The Notebook. 
5. In its review of Bieber’s 3D concert film and documentary, Never Say Never (2011), New York Magazine described him  as “A bland, pious, profoundly unthreatening little Furby of a pop idol.” The film grossed nearly $100 million worldwide.

6. Smallville and Friends are his favorite TV shows.
7. He loves Disneyland, and has visited it on a romantic Valentine’s Day date with former main squeeze (and Disney starlet) Selena Gomez and to perform at the 2011 Disney Christmas Parade.
8. Jeremy Bieber, his father, is a former MMA fighter.
9. T.G.I. Friday’s is Justin’s favorite restaurant. Sorry, Tim Hortons.
10. He likes the cereals Cap’n Crunch Berries and Frosted Mini-Wheats.
11. His haircuts have cost up to $750, one gossip publication claims. That’s one thing he and John Edwards have in common.
12. While R&B singer Usher famously helped launch Bieber’s career, he did initially turn him down, which meant that the youngster was free to consider a partnership with another singer — Justin Timberlake — until Usher watched his videos and had a change of heart.

19. He’s appeared on Saturday Night Live twice, in 2011 and 2013; during his first appearance he performed in a “Church Lady” sketch with comedian Dana Carvey. Carvey debuted the character on SNL in 1986 — eight years before Bieber was even born.
