"Maybe Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper is a New Kids on the Block fan?\r\nJustin Bieber came under some fire over the weekend after a photo emerged in which the 18-year-old &amp;quot;Baby&amp;quot; singer meets and shakes hands with his country&amp;apos;s leader -- wearing overalls, a white t-shirt, bulky silver chain and backwards black cap.\r\n\r\nHarper bestowed the Canadian pop superstar with a Diamond Jubilee Medal in Ottawa -- but Gawker dubbed him the &amp;quot;White Trash Prince&amp;quot; for the not-so-formal attire meeting the head of state.\r\nBut Bieber took notice of the jibe.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;The pic of me and the Prime Minister was taken in a room in the arena where i was performing at that day,&amp;quot; wrote Selena Gomez&amp;apos;s on-again, off-again beau. &amp;quot;I walked straight from my meet and greet to him, if you  . . .expect me to have a change of clothes let a loan [sic] a suit at that specific time that&amp;apos;s crazy, It wasn&amp;apos;t like it was like I was going into his environment we were at a hockey arena. Wow am i ever white trash.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nHilariously, Harper himself weighed in on the scandal via his official Twitter: &amp;quot;In fairness to @justinbieber, I told him I would be wearing my overalls too. #cdnpoli #beliebers&amp;quot;\r\nTell Us: Should Bieber have changed his clothes to meet his Prime Minister?: Should Bieber have changed his clothes to meet his Prime Minister?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
