Justin's people are now saying the singer didn't make himself clear when he tweeted he was retiring ... and that Justin is not hanging it up just yet.
Here's the problem ... this is the second time he's pulled this stunt and he knew exactly what he was doing.
It seems that Bieber is trying in an uncool way to do what Miley Cyrus has been able to pull off -- shock value with some authenticity.

Britney Spears blew everyone away during her Vegas debut last night ... everyone, but Katy Perry.
Katy was front and center for the "Piece of Me" show -- rubbing elbows with Miley Cyrus and Adam Lambert -- and while Miley danced her ass off, Katy couldn't seem less interested.
True enough ... Britney's no John Mayer, but come on Katy -- she's a much better dancer than him.
As they say ... you can please some of the people all of the time ...
EXCLUSIVE
Whoever made off with the $100,000 worth of jewelry and purses from Miley Cyrus' house last month did it from the inside ... at least that's what law enforcement believes.
Our cop sources tell us ... they've looked at various surveillance videos from Miley's home and the homes of neighbors ... and there's no sign of anyone suspicious entering or leaving her house.
What's more ... there's no sign of forced entry.
We're told multiple people had access to Miley's home ... especially since there were a number of workers at the house and cops are now scrutinizing them.
Miley wasn't home at the time the stuff was stolen.

And to all a good night did not apply to one of the members of Anthrax, after his wife's mom called cops saying he choked his spouse ... but the wife took it all back.
Lead guitarist Dan Spitz was arrested at his home in Lake Worth, Florida early Christmas morning after he and his wife allegedly got into a drunken fight ... according to local reports.
Once the fight began, his wife's mother called cops saying Spitz was choking his spouse ... and according to court records police said she had bruises around her neck.
Spitz claimed he was only acting in self defense ... and the next day his wife told the local news outlet she wouldn't be pressing charges because it was all a misunderstanding.
Case closed.
EXCLUSIVE
The German is Til Schweiger -- who besides playing Sgt. Hugo Stiglitz in "Inglourious Basterds," is one of the top filmmakers in Germany (we'd put a clip in the post, but they're all too violent).
Here's what we know ... Til owns a huge mansion in Malibu and was renting it out to Beck for $11,000-per month from 2010 until Feb. 2013.
Beck says ... there was mold, plumbing issues and electrical problems ... which caused further damage to everything from the fridge to the washing machine ... and even laptops.
Til says ... Beck had all sorts of unauthorized work done to the home while he lived there, causing "substantial physical damage" that required $40,571.00 in repairs.
Now, Beck's suing Til claiming the German won't return his $11,000 security deposit ... and Til's counter-suing Beck for the damage PLUS unpaid back rent, totaling $56,704.24.
USA vs. Germany ... this never ends well.
Jwoww isn't just gonna squeeze out a kid in July, she's also gonna push out a big ol' steaming dump ... so says her "Jersey Shore" BFF Snooki.

As for JWoww -- real name Jenny Farley -- she posted a picture of her growing fetus on Instagram ... along with a note from herself and fiance/baby daddy Roger.

Chad Johnson had a big, bold message printed on his t-shirt for all the little boys and girls at Toys R' Us to see on Christmas Eve ... "CARPE THAT F**KING DIEM" kids!
The former NFL star hit up the toy store in Pembroke Pines, FL to pick up some last minute gifts on Tuesday ... and actually decided to wear a shirt with the word "f**king" written in huge letters on the front.
Of course, the rest of the phrase was written in Latin ... so kids probably wouldn't get the "seize the day" message ... but "f**king" was written in plain English for everyone to enjoy.
We reached out to Chad for comment -- so far, no word back.
So much for reading " all of em,' any of em" ...
Sarah Palin -- one of Phil Robertson's strongest supporters -- admitted SHE HASN'T READ THE GQ ARTICLE that ignited the firestorm!!!!
Palin appeared on Fox News Channel's "On the Record with Greta Van Susteren" the other night ... when Greta asked if Phil's explanation about why he disapproved homosexuality was too graphic in the magazine article.
Palin's response -- "I haven't read the article ... I don't know exactly how he said it."
Funny, Palin was one of the first people to defend Robertson after the story broke earlier this month -- on Dec. 18 she took to Facebook to write, "Free speech is an endangered species. Those 'intolerants' hatin and taking on the 'Duck Dynasty' patriarch for voicing his personal opinion are taking on all of us."
Somewhere, Kate Couric is probably chuckling ..

Jackson came out firing against the "Duck Dynasty" star this week ... explaining, "These statements uttered by Robertson are more offensive than the bus driver in Montgomery, Alabama, more than 59 years ago."
"At least the bus driver, who ordered Rosa Parks to surrender her seat to a white person, was following state law. Robertson’s statements were uttered freely and openly without cover of the law, within a context of what he seemed to believe was 'white privilege.'"
Jackson is demanding a meeting with A&E and Cracker Barrel execs ... and even issued a Friday deadline ... urging the network to uphold Robertson’s suspension from the reality show.
Unclear if the network plans to honor Jackson's demand.
Gabby and Ring arrived to the Staples Center in L.A. ... flanked by private security ... to watch their man dominate the Kobe Bryant-less Lakers.
Hey, it worked.
EXCLUSIVE
He might be right ... Snoop's been in a TON of stuff -- including, "Half Baked," "Training Day," "Bones" ... plus, he voiced Dangle the STD-infected puppet on "Chappelle Show" and got streaked by Will Ferrell in "Old School."
Sure, Ice Cube may have starred in a bunch of hit movies ... and T and LL got themselves starring roles on major long-running TV action dramas ... but Snoop kept his composure while standing next to an ass-naked Will Ferrell.
That's impressive.

Crawford -- who's in the middle of a $142 million contract -- popped the question this morning ... and the "Basketball Wives" star said YES!
Just like Dwyane Wade, Crawford picked up the ring from go-to celebrity jeweler Jason of Beverly Hills.
For the record, the ring Wade got Gabrielle Union was ONLY 8.5 carats ... but size doesn't really matter, right???
Lozada is currently 7 months pregnant with Crawford's baby.
Congrats!!
LeBron's sons -- 6-year-old Bryce and 9-year-old Bronny -- teamed for a crazy alley-oop style slam on Christmas morning ... and LeBron was so proud, he posted the footage online.
James even Instagram'd a message to L.A. Clippers stars Blake Griffin and Chris Paul ... saying, "Bronny and Bryce gone hold down Lob City until y'all get back. Cool? It's like the both of y'all but we gone keep it in our room. Haha."
Fun Fact -- If LeBron can stay healthy to play in the league for 10 more years, he's got a shot at playing ALONGSIDE his son.
No pressure though, kid.
EXCLUSIVE
They've got A LOT in common (killing poultry, homophobia) ... but the people at Chick-fil-A are adamant the company is NOT involved with a growing pro-Phil Robertson campaign called "Chick-Phil-A."
The Chick-Phil-A campaign is picking up steam on social media ... encouraging people to eat at Chick-fil-A restaurants on January 21st while wearing Duck Commander or camouflage gear to show their support for the "Duck Dynasty" star.
A Facebook page for the campaign says, "Stand for free speech. Sit for good food." So far, more than 40,000 people have already committed to participate
But despite the fact Chick-fil-A knows a little something about anti-gay marriage controversies, the restaurant says the event is "is in no way sponsored by or affiliated with Chick-fil-A."
Chick-fil-A says Chick-Phil-A was created by an "independent group" ... though at this point, no group has come forward to take credit.
Cluck. Cluck.

And in a Jesus-esque final statement ... he concluded, "Be kind loving to each other, forgive each other as god forgave us through Christ Merry Christmas IM HERE FOREVER."
Though Jesus never urinated in a mop bucket ...
