Mad Men’s Hamm bashes Bieber

-

Mad Men heartthrob Jon Hamm is bashing Justin Bieber in a new magazine interview and says the Canadian pop star is in desperate need of parenting.

Hamm, 43, who plays dapper Don Draper on the popular show, tells Men’s Fitness the 20- year- old singer needs to get his act together — pronto. And said Bieber needs his parents to start acting like parents.

“Look at Bieber or whoever. You’re like, ‘What the f---, man? What are you doing? Why?’ There’s no one telling those people no, and it’s a shame,” Hamm said.

mom or a dad or a really good friend who can say, ‘Hey, s--head!’ ... You see people in the world and you’re like, ‘Do you know how a washing machine works? Do you know how to wash a dish?’ Life skills are something we’re missing… just (stuff) you needed to learn in life.”

Bieber’s recent trials and tribulatio­ns appear to have sparked Hamm’s fury. The singer was arrested in January for drag racing, driving under the influence and resisting arrest in Miami Beach. He’s slated to go to trial May 5.

Bieber is now seeking a delay in the trial. The pop star’s lawyers filed a motion Monday saying they need more time to prepare their case. The motion says prosecutor­s do not oppose a delay. A scheduling hearing is set for Wednesday. Urine tests showed the presence of marijuana and an antianxiet­y drug in his system.

One of the people under fire for Bieber’s spiral from cleancut pop star to hellraisin­g bad boy is his father, Jeremy Bieber, 38, who has served time for assault in his hometown of Stratford, Ont.

Jeremy Bieber was with his son when he was arrested in Florida. The Daily Mail recently reported that the heavily tattooed Jeremy — who enjoys his son’s largesse — allegedly kung fu kicked a young woman in the face in 2002.

As a result of the star’s antics, many Americans want him booted from the country. A petition to have him deported and revoke his green card was even posted at Whitehouse.gov.

“We the people of the United States feel that we are being wrongly represente­d in the world of pop culture,” it reads. “We would like to see the dangerous, reckless, destructiv­e, and drug abusing, Justin Bieber deported and his green card revoked.”
