Bieber's nude photos from grandma's house — what took so long?

By Sun-Times Wire

BIEBER BARES (ALMOST) ALL: The biggest surprise about the photos of a naked Justin Bieber (except for a strategically-placed guitar) getting out — why did it take so long?

In this era of instant release of celebrity news, it’s amazing those pix — snapped during Canadian Thanksgiving in the fall of 2012 — it’s amazing the photos hadn’t been seen before now.

According to TMZ, the headline magnet was photographed as he pulled something of a prank on his grandmother, while he visited her in Toronto last year.

While she reportedly was highly amused by the early morning stunt, she did quickly insist that her world-famous, superstar grandson go back to his room and put some clothes on.
