The Biebs was spotted at New York's Dream Downtown on Saturday night, dining at Marble Lane with his pal Usher. According to Page Six, the pair stopped in for a late dinner, and were taken to a corner booth of the ground-floor restaurant. Surrounding them throughout the entire meal were four bodyguards, plus an extra "lookout guy" to make sure no one came close enough to swipe their bread sticks.

The rocker recently told Britain' Q Magazine that she accidentally left a cinnamon tea light burning: <blockquote>I came back to the hotel, passed out in my ripped dress no phone, chipped tooth came round and there was black stuff all over the wall, my book had melted on the bedside table and there was a bucket of water on the floor.
