Just after he was booed during his performance at the 100th Grey Cup in Toronto in November 2013, Bieber caught flak for receiving the Diamond Jubilee Medal from Prime Minister Stephen Harper while wearing blue overalls, a T-shirt and a baseball cap. Harper responded by tweeting, 'In fairness to [Bieber], I told him I would be wearing my overalls too.' (Flickr.com)

Bieber was held back by a member of his security team after an expletive-laden confrontation with photographers outside his hotel in central London on March 8, 2013. The incident capped off a difficult week for the singer who was hospitalized after fainting backstage during a show and drawing criticism for turning up late for another London performance.
