Justin Bieber has apologised for yesterdays mocking of Lindsay Lohan's financial problems in his rant on Instagram.

Beebs insisted he didn't mean to bash Lindsay, who is set to go on trial next week after being charged with lying to police about a car accident and is also battling to pay her huge tax bills - in a lengthy rant on Instagram as he attempted to defend his recent bad behaviour, during which he said: 'And to those comparing me to Lindsey Lohan look at her 2012 tax statements.' Because nothing says 'I'm better than her' like money, doesn't it.

The 19-year-old, who since deleted the comment about his 7-year senior co-celeb within 10 minutes of posting it, told TMZ.com: 'My post was only up for a few minutes but I realised right away that what I said at the end was wrong and distracted from what I was trying to say. I immediately deleted it and rewrote it so it would show what I was really feeling and those words are up now.'

So he immediately reposted his original comments, bragging about his success, without the reference to Lindsay. So still a bragging, delusional egomaniac then.

Justin admitted he would make probably more mistakes in the future despite his desire to be a 'good person'. He also wrote: 'All this isn't easy. I get angry sometimes. I'm human. I'm gonna make mistakes. In gonna grow and get better from them. But all the love from you guys overcomes the negativity. I love u. Thanks'. Gag. Someone needs to sit him down and teach him how to laugh at himself.
