The management team of 16-year-old pop singer, Justin Bieber, spent most of 2010 going into overdrive with product placements and new merchandising deals, geared at maximizing the money they can make from his young career. However, there are persistent reports his parents are being pushed out of the way and trouble brewing on that front. 

Bieber's handlers were not amused when his image as a squeaky clean singer, took a hit, thanks to the Bauer Griffin photo agency, sending their paparazzi to stalk him out to St. Lucia in the Caribbean. They snapped Bieber snapping his 18-year-old girlfriend's backside (Selena Gomez). They have been in damage control mode ever since.
