During the last year, Justin Bieber has discovered the down side of celebrity.  His latest discovered curse is that he can’t go anywhere publicly without causing a sensation.

Yesterday Bieber went to a Canadian mall (without wearing a disguise?) and was reportedly overwhelmed by “hundreds” of teen girls.

Apparently the 16-year old singer-performer wasn’t molested during the near riot.

Some claim that there’s nothing worse than to remain anonymous in the age of media.  The next time un-anonymous Bieber goes out shopping, his fans may want to take home a souvenir piece of him.
