Justin Bieber is snatching up hot wheels like most
people buy Starbucks -- 'cause he just added a sick limited edition
Ducati motorcycle to his ever-expanding fleet of vehicles.
According to sources, 18-year-old Bieber dropped $20,000 on a Ducati Superbike 848 EVO ... which was delivered to him Thursday.
We're
told Biebs picked out the arctic white silk model at an LA dealership
called Beverly Hills Ducati a couple days ago ... on recommendation from
Usher, who has the black model.
Biebs doesn't even have his motorcycle license yet, but we're told he's working on it.
The racing bike should look awesome next to his Cadillac CTS-V, Smart Swag Car, and chromed out Fisker Karma.
That new $6 million Calabasas mansion better have a fat garage.

Justin Bieber The Housing Crisis Is Hurting Me Too!
Justin Bieber is suffering the effects of the housing
crisis ... just like millions of other homeowners ... because he can't
get the mortgage he wants on the house he wants to buy.
TMZ broke the story ... Justin has made an offer on a 9,000 square foot estate in Calabasas, CA ... a ritzy area with gated communities 20 miles from Hollywood. We've learned the hang-up is that the property didn't appraise near the asking price of $7+ million.
Justin could easily afford to plunk down the asking price, but we're told his business manager has insisted that he take out a mortgage, because it makes good financial sense. But we're told the appraisal has come in significantly under asking -- more than a million under. As a result, Justin can't get the mortgage his business manager wants.
So Justin and the seller are haggling over price, trying figure out if they can agree on a price that will allow the 18-year-old to get a mortgage. We're told Justin is willing to pay $6 mil but the seller is blanching because he sunk way more than that into the property.
It's tough for everyone in these difficult times. Well, not really.

Justin Bieber Haggles on Calabasas Mansion
Justin Bieber has made an offer on a sprawling mansion
in Calabasas, CA ... but we're told the 18-year-old is wheeling and
dealing with the seller and unless the seller caves ... it may fall
through.
We're told the estate is in a gated community, which is the attraction for Justin -- privacy. The downside -- Justin just turned 18 and it's kinda weird for someone his age to live 22 miles from the Hollywood scene.
Our sources say the seller was asking for around 7+ million but Justin's offer was approximately $1.5 million under that price.
And he has by no means decided to buy the house at any price. We're told on Sunday he looked at another house in the Hollywood Hills -- NOT the house Ashton Kutcher is renting.

How Justin Bieber Can Avoid Getting Arrested
HollywoodLife.com spoke to Los Angeles attorney Mychal Wilson, who gave us the rundown on what Justin’s team needs to do to keep him from behind bars — read on to find out what!
It’s no secret that Justin Bieber’s been having an interesting couple of days, following the May 26 incident in which he allegedly attacked a photographer while on a date with girlfriend Selena Gomez. While it’s certain that he will have to speak with police regarding the night, is there a real chance that the 18-year-old singer will actually be arrested?Mychal Wilson spoke with HollywoodLife.com exclusively and said, “The alleged misdemeanor battery charges against Justin Bieber may vary depending if there were any aggravating or mitigating circumstances. For example, did the photographer initiate any shoving? Was Justin acting in self-defense? Did the photographer falsely imprison Justin by blocking [Justin's] car with his car?”
Mychal goes on to explain that “California Penal Code Section 236 defines False Imprisonment as ‘the unlawful violation of the personal liberty of another.’ Accordingly, [his] defense team may argue the paparazzo falsely imprisoned [Justin] when he allegedly blocked [Justin's] car to obtain photographs of the music star. Consequently, Justin was acting in self defense.”
But what would happen to the “Boyfriend” singer should he be arrested and found guilty?
Mychal says, “The maximum jail time would be six months in county jail. California Penal Code Section 243(a) states ‘a battery is punishable by a fine not exceeding two thousand dollars, or by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding six months, or by both that fine and imprisonment.”
He continued, “Justin has no priors, so he would probably be placed on probation in a worse case scenario. And, as we have seen with other celebrities, presumably, it is safe to speculate that, due to overcrowding in the LA county jail, [he] would not spend a single day” behind bars.
And when asked, what did Mychal see as the end result of this whole debacle?
“End Result: This case will probably disappear, and of course, Justin Bieber’s record sales will probably skyrocket.”
We can only hope so.
But what do you think, HollywoodLifers? Is Justin looking at serious jail time? Or will he be back on the stage in no time? Let us know!
Justin Bieber I Wore $20K On My NECK at Mayweather Fight
Looking like he wandered off the set of "Goodfellas," Justin Bieber
rocked a golden diamond-encrusted fish around his neck at the
Mayweather fight on Saturday -- and TMZ has learned, the thing cost $20,000!!!
Sources tell us, the 14k gold "koi" fish -- designed by celeb jeweler Ben Baller -- boasts 14 carats of VVS diamonds all over (supposedly fancier than normal non-VVS diamonds). Even the chain is covered in 12 carats of diamonds.
it's unclear if the necklace was a gift or if Bieber paid for it himself.
FYI -- Koi fish represent good luck. Not like Mayweather needed it.

Justin Bieber Battery Suspect
Justin was in Calabasas, where he lives, just after noon Sunday at a
mall called The Commons. A paparazzo attempted to take Justin's picture
and, according to law enforcement, some sort of physical altercation
erupted between Justin and the camera guy.
The photog called 911, and when cops arrived Justin and GF Selena Gomez had already split.
The photog complained of pain to his upper torso, an ambulance was summoned and he was taken to a local hospital where he was examined and released a short time later.
The photog filed a police report naming Justin as the culprit. Cops are investigating the incident as a misdemeanor battery.
Law enforcement tells us detectives want to speak with Justin, Selena and any other witnesses.
We placed a call to Justin's rep ... so far, no comment.

We're told several witnesses at the scene say after the altercation, a lawyer walked up to the photog and said he could get a lot of money out of the incident and advised the dude to call for an ambulance and file a police report.
Witnesses also say the photog had been blocking Justin's car as the singer was trying to leave. Justin got out of the car and asked the guy to move away but he wouldn't, and a scuffle ensued.
