Justin Bieber is responding to TMZ and other reports that he looks bad, etc. He says on Instagram that he has Lyme disease and chronic mono.  He should know that the Global Lyme Alliance in New York is on this and can help him. I don’t know if it can make his lyrics any better, but you never know. Also, I’m no doctor, but all that ink has probably seeped into his bloodstream.

On the upside of all this, Mediabase reports that Bieber’s new single, “Yummy,” is getting a lot of radio airplay this week.
