Stars: They're just like us. Some of them are worried about Justin Bieber's arrest, some of them think it's hilarious. Count Seth Rogen in the latter camp.
All jokes aside, Justin Bieber is a piece of shit.
— Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) January 23, 2014Strong words. Do the two of them have a history? They don't exactly seem like they'd hit it off.
Actor/director Zach Braff is with Rogen, hijacking a pro-Bieber hashtag sarcastically.
Who amongst us hasn't drag-raced a Lambo in Miami on pills? #FreeBieber
— Zach Braff (@zachbraff) January 23, 2014Plenty of other stars, though, are concerned about Bieber's problems, which are obviously quite real. Ellen Degeneres, always classy, bypassed easy quips to express concern.
It's hard to hear all this news about @JustinBieber. I hope he makes his way to adulthood without him or anyone else getting hurt.
— Ellen DeGeneres (@TheEllenShow) January 23, 2014Lady Gaga threw the weight of her own fandom behind that of her fellow pop star. "Hey monsters. I know everyone today is taking aboutJustin's arrest and all sorts of words and judgments are happening on the Internet. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and to stand up for themselves, but I think we should be supportive of Beliebers," she wrote on her Little Monsters website.
There's really only one group that can even begin to relate to what's going on in Bieber's head: fellow child stars. Mackenzie Phillips, a former teen TV star who's been to rehab many times, told People that she doesn't think people should mock Justin's smiling mugshot. "You look at that mugshot, and you see he's smiling. But look in his eyes. There's fear there, I think."
"Matilda" star Mara Wilson, who's now an adult (I know, like sand through the hourglass), has become an outspoken critic of the toll that showbiz takes on kids. She weighed in on Bieber's troubles:

Yes, #JustinBieber has been acting like an a—hole, but that tends to happen when you give a young person unlimited funds and attention.
— Mara Wilson (@MaraWritesStuff) January 23, 2014Thanks for tweeting prison rape jokes about Justin Bieber, makes it easier to see who to unfollow.
— Mara Wilson (@MaraWritesStuff) January 23, 2014Meanwhile, Justin won't be getting a lot of sympathy from one former NFL player:
They finally caught HIM! Glad no one was hurt, no kids in the street. Everyone grows up at some point. Hopefully he learns from it.
— Keyshawn Johnson (@Thromedamnball) January 23, 2014No big surprise there — Johnson is Bieber's neighbor.
