Justin Bieber fans have apparently been attacking Ricky Gervais, because the comedian recently tweeted about needing protection from them.
The comedian knew that going after one of the most popular pop stars in the world at the Golden Globes would get him plenty of press, so he decided to bring up the whole Mariah Yeater baby scandal. However, he said something about the paternity suit that many Beliebers should agree with—there's no way that Justin could be the father of Mariah's baby boy.
But, of course, the funnyman didn't stop there; he went on to say that the only way the Biebs could impregnate a girl would be with Martha Stewart's old turkey baster. It's probably this comment that set off the Beliebers.
They've made death threats against Kim Kardashian and Selena Gomez in the past, so it wasn't all that surprising when Ricky Gervais posted this message on Twitter: "Getting out of town now. Bieber fans aren't happy with me. That's some scary sh**. Ha ha. Bye LA. hello NY!" So perhaps Justin Bieber fans were also making threats on his life—or maybe Ricky was just joking.
A short time later, he posted this message: "OK. I've got enough protection against Bieber fans now...." The tweet was accompanied by a photo of Ricky holding an adorable Pomeranian with hair that would make the Biebs envious.
So basically he was trying to imply that a purse-sized pooch is all the guard dog he needs to protect himself against Beliebers. And he might have a point—most of Justin Bieber's fans are girls, a cute puppy might distract them just long enough for Ricky Gervais to get a clean getaway. But since Ricky is an animal lover, surely he wouldn't subject his furry friend to such a fate.
And of course he wasn't using really hoping to use the Pomeranian for protection. Instead the pup was clearly meant to be yet another insult to Beliebers. So since he just had to make one more joke at their expense, he better be ready for further retaliation.
