It's The Apocalypse?

Okay, it's not really the apocalypse, but many Beliebers thought so Monday. Justin Bieber-you may want to sit down for this-got a haircut! Yes, the teenage heartthrob who makes the girls melt with his signature hair flip cut his hair pretty short. I first saw the story break on Twitter as the Biebs tweeted that he was going to get a haircut. Later, photos were submitted by him to TMZ showing his new 'do while on the set of his music video of "That Should Be Me" with country superstars Rascal Flatts. 

Once the photos surfaced, the social media universe exploded. Many people chimed in against the haircut and, at one point, even the hashtag #RIPHairflip was the #1 trending topic on Twitter. I saw a tweet from someone I followed that said Bieber even lost followers all because he cut his hair.

Here's what I have to say. Beliebers, are you kidding me? I can't believe people get so upset over things like this. At last check, the guy does have his own life and I'm pretty sure he can do what he pleases with that life. Second, people (myself included) jump to conclusions. No one ever takes a breath and looks at the reasons why things happen. It turns out the hair that was cut will be auctioned off for charity. Now I'm sure this wasn't the only reason the Biebs cut his hair, but he's a great person for doing the auction. Personally, I like the new hairstyle. It's still a little long but just short enough not to have to get hair out of your face constantly. My message to Beliebers is: if the man wants a haircut let him get a freakin' haircut!
