Since Justin Bieber‘s mom — she has a name, but I don’t care (OK fine, Pattie Mallette) — has spent her entire life trying to turn her son into a famous pop star so that she could ride his coattails, it probably shouldn’t be all that surprising that she’s being a total weiner over the fact that her son didn’t get her a Grammy nomination. I mean himself. Bieber didn’t get himself a Grammy nomination. (I swear that was unintentional, but I enjoyed the Freudian slip too much to remove it.) Via HuffPo …
“I think they blew it,” Bieber’s mother, Pattie Mallette, told Alexa Chung while sitting down for an interview with FuseTV. “It’s my boy, I’m a little biased. I just heard that he’s had now five No. 1 albums, so I think his music is speaking for itself.” She said he was disappointed, but “I think it’s kind of good in a way. It gives him something to strive for and a goal to go for.”
Granted, if the only thing you do with your life is get knocked by a dumb hick when you’re a teenager, then try to rectify your mistake by raising your kid to be the star you never could be, you might as well go all-in. I mean, look at Dina Lohan: She failed at being famous and then tried to turn Lindsay Lohan into a superstar, and that went super well. Assuming you have very low-standards for parenting. And are totally cool with hitting babies with your car.
