Thank God Justin's mom came to her senses, or we'd have Jesse Bieber

Would the Biebs by any other name sound as sweet? Justin Bieber's mom, Pattie Mallette, says she almost gave him a different name. "I called him Jesse the whole pregnancy," Mallette said in an NBC interview airing Thursday. "And then, once he was born, I was like, 'No, he doesn't look like a Jesse.'" Bieber says he doesn't feel like a Jesse, either, saying it "would have been weird" to have that name. Mallette also reveals Bieber was "not easy" to raise and often got kicked out of class. "The first day of school, in first grade, I started making armpit fart noises in class," Bieber recalls. We're sure he was just showing off his musical skills. [Source]
