Did Justin Bieber just diss the future King of England? No, of course not. Well, not really. Well, actually, sort of. JB recently expressed his horror at the prince's obviously worsening baldness. Biebs wondered why the Prince didn't just buy some Propecia. He then wondered if perhaps the heir to the throne had never heard of the product. Ouch.
"I mean there are things to prevent that nowadays, like Propecia," Justin explained. "I don't know why he doesn't just get those things, those products. You just take Propecia and your hair grows back. Have you not got it over here?"
Right. For that matter, why doesn't Kate Middleton get off her duff and pick some Propecia up for Prince William? Ah, the follies of youth. And the naivety.
It's obvious that Justin meant no disrespect to Prince William or the British royal family. The kid's just seen (and obviously believed) too many TV commercials. Interestingly, however, even some of his loyal true Beliebers thought he went a tad too far. They thought his comments bordered on rudeness.
"I mean that is just plain rude," wrote one. "Prince William is a good guy who does so much for England and charities and people all over the world including the army. He is not a man who is wrapped up in looks, like Justin Bieber. So what if his hair is thinning? Justin's eventually will also."
"uh...that's kinda rude," another fan reluctantly agreed. "i mean it's not like the guy doesn't know his own hair. Sometimes it's best not to be 'honest' ... that's like telling an old women to use botox."
Other fans defended and agreed with their idol. "hes just being honest," reasoned one such Belieber. "i mean it is true i would die if justin lost his hair"
Hopefully, for that last Belieber's sake, Justin will keep his famous locks until he's 90. Anyway, what do you think? Did Justin diss the Prince? Or was he just being honest, and naive?

Yes, Justin was being honest and trying to be helpful. But unfortunately Justin is still relatively young & has just shown how incredible naive he is! He was saying its "readily available" so therefore "you just take Propecia and your hair grows back. Have you not got it over here?" (like u can take it without asking your Doctor)
HOWEVER, a quick google check reveals that PROPECIA is a very dangerous medicine that alters hormones - just google "PropeciaSideEffects" and you'll see endless sexual problems & complaints & nightmare stories - also see www.propeciasideeffects.com
See YouTube videos of males almost in tears who took this for just a short time and suddenly cannot get erections, some even had smaller testicles! The side effects remained even after they stopped taking propecia!
Maybe Prince William is not so impulsive and uses his brains before taking risky hormone altering medication - or maybe he just wants to continue a good sex life, even while he goes bald !!!
Marc Grossman, a lawyer who represents these Propecia users, is concerned there are thousands more affected by the drug who are choosing to suffer in silence.
"Many men are embarrassed to reveal their problems to anyone, including their doctors, so thousands more will go on living with the condition in private."
The New York Post reports that Propecia inhibits testosterone conversion, subsequently resulting in increased estrogen. Since its introduction in the 1990s, side effects like impotence, decreased libido and genital shrinkage have been reported.
A study in the Journal of Sexual Medicine confirms a potential link between sexual function and 5α-reductase inhibitors found in the drug. Some doctors speculate the drug might do permanent damage.
Shine from Yahoo Canada reports;-
Drug manufacturer Merck denies the link between sexual-dysfunction and Propecia!
