Justin Bieber's Hair goes for $40,000+

Justin Bieber has raised a staggering $40,668 after a lock of his hair was sold at auction.

The pop superstar handed his hair to TV personality Ellen DeGeneres during an appearance on her show last month (Feb11) - days after famously changing his look - and told her to sell it for a charity of her choice.

He stated, "I'm giving pieces of it (hair) to different people. We're doing something special. We want you to donate it to whatever charity you want."

DeGeneres decided to sell it to raise funds for California animal rescue centre The Gentle Barn, and placed the hair on eBay.com, where it quickly became a hot item.

Bidding reached $12,000 on Tuesday (01Mar11) but shot up overnight. It is not known who placed the winning bid.

The End of the World is Near Justin Bieber Just Cut His Hair!

It's the apocalypse for sure Justin Bieber got a haircut! O GOD THE Humanity. The Biebs got trimmed today while on the set of a music video for a song he did with Rascal Flatts.

Back in early January, Biebs expressed his desire to get a new look. "I think after my movie I might cut my hair a little shorter," the Biebs said.

Well he wasn't jokin' because today he tweeted, "thinking about getting a haircut....hmmmmmm." Then the 16-year-old went live on Big Brother, I mean...TMZ  and sent a photo showing him in the barber's chair while on set of his latest music video with the Rascal Flatts.

How much did he cut off? I have no idea, but I its kinda' cool ! It's still him, but he looks more like a shaved "Bieber" Ha....I kill me!. His facial features are definitely more...prominent. Eyebrows are visible! (That was gay but there is nothing wrong with gay I'm just saying I'm not but the statement I made was...YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!)

Maybe he's trying to shake that kid look now that he's "reportedly"got an older woman?

UPDATE: Justin is donating the proceeds to charity! He tweeted, "Yeah so it's true...I got a lil haircut...I like it...and we are giving all the hair cut to CHARITY to auction. Details coming soon." We have a sample already and have shipped it off to the mad scientist on a undisclosed Island of the Pacific, where they are cloning a race of "PTP's"  Pretty Talented People to take over the WORLD!
