Justin Beer-Beer: Justin and Selena are seen at a party on July 4th with pals
He is not yet 21 Nike Metcon DSX Flyknit 2 Australia , but that doesn't appear to be stopping Justin Bieber from having a good time.
The 19-year-old popstar was seen with alcohol at a 4th of July party in LA, while his girlfriend Selena Gomez, 20, stood by and watched.
He had a bottle of beer in hand, despite being under the legal drinking age in the US. (A spokesperson for the star had no comment when contacted by MailOnline.)
The pair were at a house in the Hollywood Hills and were seen cosying up to each other in party that looked like a scene out of Selena's movie Spring Breakers.
Selena is reported have taken Justin back on the condition that he smartens up his act.
But now it appears the young singer may have just reasoned that you can't teach an old dog new tricks.
Meanwhile the troubled popstar has been accused of spitting in a DJ's face.
The singer Nike Metcon 4 Australia , whose mother Pattie Mallette recently admitted that he doesn't always make the best decisions, reportedly confronted the man in the VIP area of the Social Room nightclub in Columbus, Ohio, last weekend, after being told the DJ was taking pictures of him.
The alleged victim told the city's local radio station WNCI: 'Two of Bieber's bouncers approached me and said I was trying to take pictures of Bieber.'
The DJ claimed that Justin was concerned because he is two years underage and that a member of the singer's entourage grabbed his phone to check for photographs of him in the club but didn't find any.
He said that Justin then lashed out at him with some 'choice word'.
He explained: 'He called my mom something Nike Free Metcon Australia , called my dad something, called me something ... and spit in my face.'
The DJ also told gossip website TMZ that he is planning to file assault charges against the Beauty and a Beat hitmaker and that he was tested for hepatitis but the result was negative.
A spokesperson for Justin refused to comment, but a source close to him said: 'Everything.
