Justin Bieber to bodyguards: 'I'm tired. Carry me up the Great Wall of China'

What happens when you're visiting the Great Wall of China and you get tired? If you're Justin Bieber, you order your bodyguards to carry you on their shoulders. Really.

The 19-year-old pop star took a break from his current Asian concert tour yesterday to visit the Great Wall of China, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. But Bieber apparently didn't realize what a hike it could be. 

Bieber, who's been in the news more for his diva-like behaviour than for his music of late, made headlines again when a photo of this latest star turn went viral.

Reaction on Twitter and elsewhere was swift and contemptuous.

"Because walking is for poor people," tweeted one. "Justin you are a Shame to us Canadian and a shame to today's youth," another blasted. "All hail Emperor Bieber!" sniped a third.

Perhaps the best line came from Gawker: "They say his sense of entitlement was visible from space."
