There's a cure for Bieber Fever: increased security. Teen idol/hair model Justin Bieber continues his tour Down Under, and has arrived in New Zealand for a series of appearances. But in the wake of yesterday's fan trampling/faint-a-thon in Australia, Billboard reports that New Zealand authorities are ramping up security measures at scheduled events featuring the wee agent of hormonal chaos.
Bieber arrived in Auckland, NZ last night, CBC reports, where he could have used a protective Bieber mobile, cattle prod or a few burly babysitters, at the very least.
A crowd of 1,000 fangirls swarmed Auckland International Airport to greet Bieber with their shrieks and homemade posters. Monday night, Bieber Tweeted "New Zealand we are coming!" His Tweet is thought to have contributed to the mob scene that awaited him at the airport. Later that day, the teen star wrote "and yes I got to see a wombat." Only time will tell whether tween interest in marsupials will spike in the coming weeks.
Bieber has a few promotional appearances to make while in New Zealand, including a visit to TV show Select Live and a performance at a school in an Auckland suburb, but as New Zealand news website stuff.co.nz reports, his schedule isn't being publicized by his reps due to security concerns.

Did someone try to stune him?
What do you mean, "that's not Justin Bieber"?
