The Justin Bieber Random Hoax Generator has produced its two latest hits.

According to the Twitterverse, the 16-year-old rumor magnet has become a  Scientologist, and begun taking talking points from Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Er, come again…?

Yes, per one of the nastier, if not the nastiest, Bieber threads of the summer, the My World star has denied the Holocaust.

That's all there is to the apparently Twitter-generated "story," which sprang up on Monday. There are no other alleged reputed fake details, like where and when the baby-faced one supposedly went all Ahmadinejad.

Similarly, there's no there there to "Justin Bieber Converts to Scientology," the baseless tweet retweeted (and retweeted) beginning Wednesday night.

Next up for the Random Hoax Generator? "Justin Bieber Gets a Buzz Cut?"

Nah. Too plausible.
