Chalk it up to growing pains? Justin Bieber's transition from squeaky-clean teen phenom to a shirtless, controversy-courting young man has been anything but seamless. Here, Us Weekly chronicles the Biebs' craziest scandals — from an insensitive visit to the Anne Frank House to a mysterious night with a Brazilian woman (complete with a snoozing Bieber video clip!).
The 23-year-old singer, who missed last year’s ceremony, is nominated this time around for the remix of Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito.” The megahit single is in the running for Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. Fonsi, 39, and Yankee, 40, are set to perform the original version of “Despacito” during Sunday’s show at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

According TMZ, which was first to report the news, Bieber does not plan to attend any awards shows until he finishes the follow-up to his hugely successful 2015 record, Purpose, which was nominated for Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album at last year’s Grammys.
The “Friends” crooner isn’t the only nominee skipping music’s biggest night. The heavy metal band Avenged Sevenfold announced on Twitter that its members will protest the show despite being nominated in the Best Rock Song category for “The Stage.”
They may be big shots in the musical industry now, but every star has had a first time at the Grammys. From Lady Gaga's spiky headdress to Justin Timberlake's perm, here are the most memorable first Grammys appearances.
“[We’re] honored. Unfortunately they have taken ‘Best Rock Song’ off the telecast this year so we won’t be attending,” the group tweeted on Tuesday, January 23. “Maybe next time.”
