Crib notes: What does Justin Bieber have to say about spiraling commodities prices?

Bieber Fever! Something about the Bieb seems to bring out strong reactions in people, from the "Love Him," to the "Dear Lord, Please Just Make Him Go Away" schools of thought. Sometimes maybe we need to remember he's just a teenage pop star and we shouldn't read too much into everything he says or does, even if he says it to Rolling Stone magazine. The Wall Street Journal offers a fun, tongue-in-

Bieber Fever! Something about the Bieb seems to bring out strong reactions in people, from the "Love Him," to the "Dear Lord, Please Just Make Him Go Away" schools of thought. Sometimes maybe we need to remember he's just a teenage pop star and we shouldn't read too much into everything he says or does, even if he says it to Rolling Stone magazine. The Wall Street Journal offers a fun, tongue-in-cheek commentary on our reaction to Bieber's abortion comments.

"We card anyone under 30" will be the new mantra for tanning salons if the American Academy of Pediatrics has its way.

Zits - one of the prime sources of teen angst. What won't they try to get rid of the unsightly blemishes? Proactiv has been the over-the-counter treatment for a while now, but one dermatologist takes issue with the product, stating that the ingredients are essentially the same as Clearasil, which sells for a fraction of the price. He claims that the company is preying on teen's susceptibility to the celebrity endorsements the company relies upon to sell the product. Others say that the "system" does make it easier for teens to follow a good face-care routine. What do you think? Is it worth shelling out that kind of cash for a little benzoyl peroxide so your kid can "preserve their sexy" just like Diddy?

Beware the local bake sale. In recent weeks, students in California and Illinois have been sickened from eating pot-laced brownies. Don't kids know anything these days? First you get high, then you get the munchies.  Oh wait, wrong message...  

On Monday, screen siren Jane Russell passed away at age 89. While most will remember her for her film roles in movies such as "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes," some are mourning the loss of an early adoption advocate.
