It worked for Paris Hilton during her sex tape scandal and Alex Baldwin too!  Yes, making funny of the host’s faux-pas on Saturday Night Live is good press.

Justin Bieber is no different. Sources claim that reps of the Biebs agrees to give SNL writers carte-blanche when creating the scripts.  So……bring on the doobie jokes.

In other news, singer Akon, who doesn’t drink or smoke, was shocked to hear about Bieber’s pot smoking incident.  He has assured TMZ.com that he’ll be talking to the Biebs stating “That’s my little man…I hope it’ll make an impact.”
