Maybe Justin Bieber posted that butt shot to get us ready the new issue of Interview magazine.
The pop star not only appears on the cover, but his inside photo spread is on the racy side.
Not only is he shirtless in most of the shots, but in at least one, he's wearing black leather pants pulled low, a black leather eye mask and bright red leather fingerless gloves.
Photographer Steven Klein is trying hard to give Bieber a moment Fifty Shades of Grey moment.
One pic zeroes in on waistband of his red underwear (Calvin Klein, of course) as he pulls up his shirt to show off his treasure trail. One shot is just of his bare chest and stomach.
In another sequence of photos, he pulls up the back of his shirt to reveal that he's had a cupping session.
And guess who interviewed him for the mag?!
Martha Stewart!
Bieber tells the domestic diva, who was one of his Comedy Central roasters. about his love of cars (he has a Ferrari, a Maybach and more), an upcoming trip to Ibiza, how he loves to fly private and his favorite foods include grilled salmon and mashed potatoes.
Bieber's drink of choice is 1942 tequila.
As for his new music, Bieber reveals, "It's just very personal. People will be able to really get into where my heart is. It's about my journey in life—stuff that I've been through. Maybe I can teach a lesson, certain things that are inspiring."
It's not until the end that Stewart hits him with a question about his rollercoaster love life.
Bieber sweetly says that his "love today is my little brother.
"He's saying with me for the next week, so he's my love right now," he says.
Stewart presses on.
