Justin Bieber gets waxed in Las Vegas

Justin Bieber is now a permanent attraction in Las Vegas following the unveiling of a $350,000 (GBP251,000) wax doppelganger.

The astonishingly detailed figure was displayed for the first time at Sin City's Madame Tussaud's waxwork museum on Tuesday (01Mar16), the pop star's birthday.

Over 20 artists spent three months lovingly recreating every detail of the pop star's body, including his 50 tattoos.

The likeness, which is naked from the waist up, features Justin in his Calvin Klein boxer shorts, visible above a pair of low-hanging jeans.

The Sorry singer joins a throng of pop superstars depicted in wax at the Las Vegas Madame Tussaud's - they include Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, Michael Jackson, Beyonce, Madonna, Elvis Presley, and Nicki Minaj.

Nicki's waxwork caused a stir last year (15) after bosses at the tourist attraction were forced to employ staff to stand guard after members of the public simulated sex acts with the scantily clad figure, which is displayed crouching on all fours.
