You would think after having a run in with the law last week, Justin Bieber would learn to quit while he's behind. This week, the 19-year-old pop star was pulled over for driving 60 mph in a 30 mph zone (a real speed demon, this kid) and was arrested for driving under the influence, driving with an expired license, and resisting arrest. Tween girls everywhere wept for only a few hours, as he was let out the same day after only paying $2,500 bail.

Young Jeezy was also arrested again this week, but this time it's unclear what he even did. In better news, Cam'ron and A-Trak announced a collaborative album that's hitting stores this spring and Nicki Minaj blessed us with a new verse along with the news of a new YMCMB album.
