    1. Twitter is getting way too powerful. "Conflicting Twitter reports"? Is this where news comes from? Justin Bieber's Twitter feed?

    2. That video: Where are the parents? Usher shows up, but parents don't? Yeah, those kids are having rainbow parties.

    3. I'm from Long Island, and none of this surprises me.

    4. "In the spirit of Justin Bieber's homeland, mounties were called to the scene..."

    If only we could corral the Jonas Brothers, the male cast of Twilight II and Justin Bieber in the same Jersy mall at the same time, the US would be able to create a time/space paradox whirlpool so massive that CERN's Large Hadron Collider would weep with envy.
    Before it destroys us all, of course.

    2) Hold his liquor.

    3) Be a jew.

    @Brian Moylan: So long as we're solid on who's the Resident Gawker LadyParts Expert™, I'm fine with however you two divide the other accolades.
    Although, your three-point rating system seems to also include the better half of NYC, so I think Foster needs to specialize in a fourth to rise above the Manhattanite rabble.

    My mall was Kings Plaza in Brooklyn, and Huckpaoo shirts were the thing. Or pink and black zebra stripes. With platform, cork-soled shoes.

    I can attest that even thirty years ago, pretty boys have always gotten more than their share of teen-aged girls. It's that whole "sensitive" thing and a lot of times, the "prettiness" starts in the eyes.

    And the success of pretty boys isn't actually limited to music. For every Shaun Cassidy or Leif Garrett in the studio, there was a Robby Benson or Mark Hamill somewhere on stage; For every Frankie Avalon or Wayne Newton, there was a Brando or James Dean.

    As someone who lives pretty close to this mall and visits it occasionally, the funniest thing to me about the whole thing is that all these pictures and video look basically like a normal day there to me.

    This is always an extremely overcrowded mall, especially at the food court where this happened. All this "dead mall" talk around the rest of the country does not apply to Roosevelt Field. All those other malls must be dead because their customers all go here instead.

    I was there on Friday to buy sneakers, and it was an absolute riot. Once the announcement came that it was canceled, the tweens started hysterically crying, stampeding and shaking the gates on the store it was schedules to be in.

    The second floor apparently had to be evacuated because the police feared the second floor would collapse.

    I still don't understand the hype around this kid, he looks just like Dani from A Shot at Love

    That's when the looting started.

    "We've been completely decimated," a manager from Gap Kids told police on the scene.

    "This bucket used to hold hoop earrings by the dozens," an employee from Limited Too said in a daze, raising the vacant container for the riot crew to see. "Now it only has some kid's retainer inside."

    From JCPenney, a rep responded, "There was a riot?"
