Justin Bieber 'keeps a private jet waiting for EIGHT hours in Miami... as he searches for pet monkey'

It seems 19-year-old Justin Bieber isn't the best at keeping things in order of late.
TMZ reports the singer kept a private jet waiting in Miami for eight hours on Friday while he 'searched for his pet monkey'.

The teen singer apparently rented the jet to fly him from Miami to Burbank, and only just made it in time before the pilot left without him - monkey or no monkey, according to the website.

Things are not looking up: Justin Bieber reportedly chartered a helicopter to retrieve his monkey in West Palm Beach on Friday

The site reported that the Baby singer was scheduled to depart on the private jet at 11am.
He phoned to say he was running late, then reportedly showed up at 3pm only to say that he wasn't yet ready to leave because he still had to retrieve his monkey from West Palm Beach.

TMZ also reported that the teen had even chartered a helicopter to get to the animal without having to go through traffic.

Apparently the pilot was planning to leave without Bieber because his duty time was about to run out, but at 5:10pm the teen star made it on board... but whether or not the monkey was with him was not known.

It remains unclear if this is the same monkey - 'Mally' - that was seized from Bieber in Germany and re-homed in a zoo in late May, or whether he somehow managed to pick up a new one.

Bieber has had an eyebrow-raising year.

The star has had multiple run-ins with traffic cops, and according to reports, angry confrontations with neighbors over his speeding.

The teen idol caused another stir on Thursday when he posted his first Instagram short film that prompted speculation he may have been smoking marijuana before filming it.

The 15-second video featured a shirtless and glazed-eyed Bieber wearing a gold chain, black backward baseball cap and struggling to speak through bouts of laughter.

What's going on, Justin? This comes just days after the young singer posted a rather erratic video to Instagram during which he could not stop giggling
