Justin Bieber Channels Carol Burnett on People Cover

He's being touted as the world's biggest pop star, but on the cover of this week's People magazine, Justin Bieber looks more like a comedy legend -- and a female one, at that.

Yes, with his bangin' bowl cut -- not to mention his grand, gummy smile -- the 16-year-old heartthrob seems to be channeling 76-year-old Carol Burnett in her heyday.

Though Burnett -- currently promoting her second memoir, "This Time Together" -- credited her sassy bob to her "Carol Burnett Show" hairstylist Gus Le Pre, Bieber claims his face-framing locks come naturally.

"I'd love to be able to say it was complicated, but I'm just chilling," he told T magazine. "My hair takes five minutes to do in the morning. I shower and as soon as I get out, I just shake it and it just does that. For real."

And while you're more likely to catch Bieber sporting G-Star, hoodies, and Alexander McQueen rather than a Bob Mackie original, StyleList has discovered that this toothy twosome have more in common than you think:

Bieber owes his career to R&B superstar Usher, who helped him land a contract at Island Records in 2008. A teenage Burnett worked as an usher at the Warner Hollywood theater until she had to turn in her epaulets for refusing to let a couple enter the theater after the movie had started.

Bieber hit the Billboard chart at No. 17 with his 2009 song "One Time"; Burnett's 1986 first memoir, "One More Time," peaked at No. 3 on the New York Times Bestseller list.

Bieber is a huge fan of YouTube viral video "Scarlet Takes a Tumble," in which a girl falls off a table while singing. "I've seen it a million times," he told T magazine, "but I still think it's hilarious."

Wearing a Bob Mackie-crafted curtain-rod dress to spoof Scarlett O'Hara in the 1976 TV sketch "Went With the Wind," Burnett had her audience in stitches. "That," she told the Today show, "was one of the longest laughs we ever got on our show."

Hmm... maybe Bieber shouldn't rule out Mackie after all.

Meanwhile, read about Jennifer Love Hewitt's take on the classic bob.

Oh wow, how did justin beiber's haircut drama turn into finding you the perfect wife to match your millionaire doctor lifestyle? I have seen some desperate people in my day... But i think you just topped my list. Sorry, i just could not resist telling you how ridiculous you sound. And that's coming from a grown women.

Is it really necessary for AOL to have an article on Justin Bieber every single day? i'm not they can't get a better story then Justin Bieber's haircut. That's pathetic.

First paragraph: nope, not really...

The rest was pretty interesting, but I love Justin Bieber's music and he seems like a pretty cool kid, so I don't really have a complaint about most of the article.

To David S.:

I know right? He does look an awful much like her though. And is she cute? Nope! I just don't get the fascination with him. I saw him on The View where they showed his youtube footage (and I thought, "Is that it?" I thought how they were all talkin' about him, this kid could really blow? Not!). Then he sang on the show and I'm like, "What the heck is the big deal"? He can't even dance all that well. He's no Usher or Chris Brown that's for sure. He's not even a Timberlake. As far as looks...he's not a pretty boy like Elvis was and he doesn't look good, like MJ did (especially in his heyday and he was a beautiful child too), this kid is just cute.

I notice that every generation we get these certain singers that make the girls cry, swoon, faint and loose their minds, like Elvis, the Beatles, that one from the Partrich Family and the almighty Michael Jackson (who I like a lot, but I never fainted nor cried over him, except for when he died of course). I truly don't know what it is that these guys had that made girls and some guys just about explode uncontrollably with whatever emotions they experienced, but this Bieber kid has it going for him. Anyway, God bless him and I hope he don't get the big head and start going down the wrong path once he's able to start going to clubs and what not.

His haircut looks more like a Disney kids do that they all wear on that network. I doubt there are many teenie boppers on AOL reading about this kid. Enough with the fillers and get to the real stories.

I saw Justin Bieber on the news the other day and the kid is a talentless spaz. He has a terrible habit of flipping his head back to get his hair out of his eyes and it has become an obsession. If he isn't careful, he's going to need treatment to stop doing it. He's basically a loser.

Biebers hair looks ridiculously ugly. As others have said he constantly shakes his head back and forth trying to put his hair in the proper place whatever that may be. Wait until he is 25 and he will ask himself "what was I thinking" about his hair. My little sis thinks he looks like a sissy boy and I couldn't agree with her more!

This kid is a PUTZ> He thinks he can Rap. Usher needs to be slapped upside his head for this kid. Some trim his hair it's all uneven and he's flipping it around.
This Kid sucks and they have to put a bunch of dancers around him to divert everybody's attention to make him look cool. It seems like these rappers, Rihanna, Britney, Chris Brown all need to have dancers around them to make them look cool instead of Raw Talent
