Justin Bieber pledges his allegiance, hopefully to me.

Aside from gawking at THAT GINORMOUS PINKY RING on Justin Bieber's pinky, we've been trying to guess what he's actually doing in this picture, snapped after his visit to "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno." A few guesses include:

1.) Practicing the Pledge Of Allegiance to prep for the Fourth of July. Justin Bieber's Canadian, as you know, but it's always good to embrace other cultures.

2.) He's overwhelmed by the AH-MAZING success of his No. 1 album, Believe!

Or..

3.) He has heartburn.

In "reality" (whatever that means) Justin was singing to fans and had himself a "moment." But the more we really stare at this pic, the more it looks like Justin's trying to sneak in a quick catnap. In between promoting his new album, making his fan's dreams come true, preparing for a role in a forthcoming basketball movie, gearing up for his sold-out concert tour, and polishing that enormous gold nugget on his finger, when else is this bro going to find time to sleep?! (But if he's really going to start sneaking in snoozes at inopportune moments like this one, may we suggest scoring a pair of these?)
