Justin Bieber sets mother's hair on fire

Justin Bieber accidentally set his mother's hair on fire over the weekend.

The 'Baby' singer was playing at the Berlin O2 World arena in Germany on Saturday (02.04.11) and surprised mom Pattie Mallette by bringing her out a birthday cake as she joined him on stage.

However, as she leaned over to blow out the candles, a few strands of her hair caught on fire, but thankfully Justin was there to put them out.

He then told her: "Mama, I'll always be your baby."

Following the show, Justin and Pattie both took to twitter to write about the incident.

Justin, 17, said: "sick show in Berlin...brought @studiomama on stage 2 sing her happy bday but she lit her hair on fire with the candles. lol. i saved her. (sic)"

While Pattie wrote: "Thank u @justinbieber for the cake (& embarrassing me on stage lol)."

Justin is very close to his mother and recently revealed how she has to approve his girlfriends.

The teen heartthrob - who is dating 18-year-old Disney star Selena Gomez - said: "I wouldn't bring home a girl unless my mom would approve. You don't bring the bad girls home to mom."
