Oh, I'd LOVE a Bieber reality show! It's an absolute sure thing that any chance he thinks he had of getting back to his popular levels will be smashed. Reality TV is the kiss of death for celebs. Generally you become a star after the show, not a star going in.

Kathy Griffin is the only celebrity I can think of offhand who successfully pulled off a reality show about her life and even so it was partly satire. Bieber is no Kathy Griffin.

Remember Paula Abdul's show, that was so bad they didn't even finish it? And she came off as crazy and unpleasant? I think it would be like that. Maybe she'd even show up as a guest star.

Ozzy Osbourne! They mega-cashed in on his show. And Kelly and Jack and Sharon have careers on crap TV because of it. However, it sort of wrecked Ozzy's brand as a bad-ass metal dude, though he still tours.
Also, Jessica Simpson got way more famous on her show. She went from pop-star to reality TV star to movies to billionaire clothing designer.
What I am saying is, sometimes reality TV can make people MORE visible or extends a celeb's career into new arenas. However, that wave may be long over.

Plus, you would probably benefit from staying out of jail. Or that might be the draw for Bieber. Have him run amok egging houses, spitting on people, drag racing through school zones, abandoning random pets all over the place. Lots of bleeped-but-obvious racist and just plain dumb comments. Get a misspelled, stupid or ugly tattoo to close out each episode. This could be the height of train-wreck entertainment.

Tori & Dean's reality show used to be a total guilty pleasure. *hangs head*

Could a Bieber reality show go on E!? Does this punk still have a house in Calabasas? Maybe he and the Kardashian-Jenner klan can cross over on each other shows; they already neighbors, right?
Bieber could make music with Chris Brown too. Imagine them on tour-the punk and the thug!
ETA: Speaking of reality TV, Braxton Family Values helped to get Tamar Braxton out of big sister Toni's shadow. She had been trying to get her solo career to happen for years.
The Apprentice surely raised Donald Trump's profile nationally. I grew up in NYC, so I always knew who "The Donald" was, but I'm not sure whether he was a household name outside of the NYC area.

Bieber, you are not Marky Mark. Say what you will about Mark Wahlberg; he made for a good (and attractive) ad campaign back in the day.

Saw the video. He's at least a foot shorter than that model. Even if she's 6' tall, that makes him around 5'. I was hoping he'd fall over when his pants leg got stuck on his foot. I also wondered if it pulled off one of his socks so that he was left standing there looking even more stupid with one sock on. Yep, not impressed.
