| (about 3 hours later) | |
| British law ruined Justin Bieber's birthday. A night on the town became the singer's "worst birthday" ever when some of his underage friends were reportedly turned away from a London nightclub. | British law ruined Justin Bieber's birthday. A night on the town became the singer's "worst birthday" ever when some of his underage friends were reportedly turned away from a London nightclub. |
| Bieber had started out with such optimism. "Big night ahead," he tweeted on Friday. The pop star, who was turning 19, had allegedly planned an £8,000 bash, booking tables at the Cirque du Soir club in Soho. Even the servers had dressed up, wearing "Happy Birthday Justin" T-shirts. | Bieber had started out with such optimism. "Big night ahead," he tweeted on Friday.

| Unfortunately, Bieber had overlooked one crucial detail: the ages of his entourage. "We, like all clubs in London, operate a strict age policy," a spokesman for Cirque du Soir told E!. "As a few of the members of [Bieber's] party were under the suitable age of 18, the security team … clearly explained this rule and refused entry to the club for anyone who could not provide us with adequate proof of age." | Unfortunately, Bieber had overlooked one crucial detail: the ages of his entourage.

| The problem clearly wasn't Bieber: at 19, the Canadian is finally welcome in the pubs of London, Ontario, as well as the pubs of London, England. But the singer's gang of friends seems to have included several young teens, such as 14-year-old Jaden Smith, son of actor Will Smith. After being refused at Cirque, the Daily Mail reported, Bieber's posse was forced to retire to a nearby McDonald's. Chased by photographers – "Paparazzi are absolute dickheads here," complained one of the singer's friends – they finally retreated to his hotel. "Worst birthday," Bieber lamented on Twitter – apparently the third-most-retweeted remark of all time. | The problem clearly wasn't Bieber: at 19, the Canadian is finally welcome in the pubs of London, Ontario, as well as the pubs of London, England.

| "We are very sorry, and understand it's [Bieber's] birthday, but our hands are tied with local authorities and rules we need to follow," Cirque's spokesman said. "We clearly didn't want to give him the 'worst birthday'. He is a friend and previously was always welcomed with open arms." | "We are very sorry, and understand it's [Bieber's] birthday, but our hands are tied with local authorities and rules we need to follow," Cirque's spokesman said.

| Bieber's manager, Scooter Braun, tried to improve his client's mood with some banal armchair philosophy: "Life is a rollercoaster," he advised. "Just know when u dip low it is only to build excitement as u will fly high again. Enjoy the journey." | Bieber's manager, Scooter Braun, tried to improve his client's mood with some banal armchair philosophy: "Life is a rollercoaster," he advised.
