Justin Bieber Joins Kendall Jenner and Other 'Instagram Aristocrats' in Vogue's next Issue, but Says He's 'Ready to Get Back on the Grind'

Justin Bieber, 21, and rumored ex-flame Kendall Jenner, 19, are appearing on Vogue's April 2015 issue. The two, along with Gigi Hadid, Ansel Elgort and Dylan and Hopper Penn are the new Brat, the Instagram aristocracy says the iconic prestigious fashion and lifestyle magazine that was founded in 1892.

In one photo, Bieber and Jenner are seen in relaxing in lounge chairs with the singer, wearing an open shirt, extending an arm around the back of the fashion model and reality TV star who's in a $314 ruffled Michael Kors bikini. In another shot, Jenner, in red booty shorts and a $1,185 Miu Miu crop top, is seen cheekily touching Bieber's bare stomach.

Bieber tells the magazine that while he's "actually an introvert" in person, "but as far as shooting fashion goes, or being onstage - me having to be on - I don't get nervous." On his growing reputation as a bad boy and on what he's doing about it, he said: ""I've been kind of on the low, just working on the new album. Maybe I've had too much time on my hands. Now I'm ready to get back on the grind."

Just last week, Bieber endured hours of verbal torture from such seasoned roasters as Kevin Hart, Martha Stewart, Snoop Dog, Ludacris, Jeff Ross, Shaquille O'Neal, among others, during the taping for the Comedy Central Roast special episode that will be airing March 30 on the premium cable network. He survived intact, apparently a changed and better person.

The roasters pelted Bieber with everything they had including the proverbial kitchen sink. They lashed at him for his bad behavior, his problematic relationship with Selena Gomez, his music and his very appearance. Jeffrey Ross for instance, told him: "The name Bieber has become so offensive, the Washington Redskins think you should change it." Chris D'Elia, for another noted: "You have it all, except love, friends, good parents and a Grammy." Snoop Dogg told him his next album should be called "Straight Outta Talent." Martha Stewart, 73, who was famously incarcerated back in 2004, saying she was speaking from experience, gave Bieber some tips for his eventual inevitable turn to go to prison. 

But Bieber ended his roasting with a fitting closing message to the audience. He said: "There was no preparing me for this life. I got thrown into this, 12 years old. There are moments I'm proud of and things I've done that don't define who I am. I look forward to being someone you're proud of. ... I'm excited to see what's next. You have my word - I will not end up broken, pathetic, bitter or sitting on someone else's roast. I'm at a moment of change. This is a new day."
