Justin Bieber says “CSI” star Marg Helgenberger is “kinda lame*” for calling him “a brat*” in a recent interview.

    The teen idol, 17, took to Twitter on Monday to scold the actress for her comments and to deflect* a separate report about his alleged misbehavior* on a Qantas flight.

    Helgenberger was widely quoted during the weekend as saying that Bieber, who appeared on two episodes of the long-running crime show, acted inappropriately on set.

    “I shouldn’t be saying this but he was kind of a brat,” she told French radio network Europe 1. “He was very nice to me. But he locked one of the producers in a closet and he put his fist through a cake that was on the cast’s table.”

    Bieber replied, via Twitter: “It’s kinda lame when someone you met briefly and never worked with comments on you. I will continue to wish them luck and be kind.”

    A publicist for Helgenberger did not reply to an email seeking comment.

    And on another subject, Bieber questioned the newsworthiness* of a minor incident during his recent tour in Australia.

    Local media said a flight attendant ordered Bieber to return to his seat while he was strolling down the aisle* as the plane was preparing to take off. Australia’s SkyNews reported that she told him that “his behavior was a security risk and that he had been acting like a child and would therefore be treated like one.”

    Bieber commented: “She was right and I sat down. That’s news?”

    He added: “I know who I am and sometimes people are just going to say what they want. Keep your head up and be the man your mama raised.”(SD-Agencies)
