WENN Justin Bieber is said to be following in the footsteps of Tom Cruise, Lady GaGa and Michael Jackson by sitting down for a confessional chat with talk show queen Oprah Winfrey. The troubled teen is said to be weighing up the possibility of an exclusive interview with Oprah in a bid to temper the increasingly negative headlines that have surrounded him since he kicked off his Believe World Tour last September. The ensuing months have seen Justin jeered by angry fans at London's O2 after he turned up almost two-hours late for his own show, with further late appearances and ugly spats with photographers outside his hotel adding weight to the argument that he is going off the rails.
