LA-based DJ Gryffin was performing at XS Nightclub, and was told that Bieber, 31, was in town, reports TMZ.
He heard that the superstar wanted to perform at his Saturday night show - and readily agreed, inviting him into the DJ booth.
Videos posted to social media show the shirtless, tattooed fake singing and dancing on stage in front of a packed crowd.
Almost everyone is recording the moment on their phones and appear totally fooled.
He belts out Bieber's hit Sorry and prances around, always wearing a pair of dark glasses.
The DJ is also completely oblivious, hyping up the prankster from behind the decks.
Another clip shows adoring fans clamouring to snap a selfie with Desclos.
A fake security team was in tow, and the group wandered around splashing cash at shops and behind the bar.
The impersonator got through a couple of tracks before staff clocked onto the ruse and booted him off stage.
Gryffin saw the funny side of the saga and documented how it unfolded on Instagram.
Justin Bieber sparks concern with series of worrying selfies as he refers to drugs in shock post
He posted a series of clips along with his version of events, dubbing the faker "Bustin Jeiber".
Gryffin wrote: "How Bustin Jeiber duped me during me own set. How I ended up in this situation.
"It started when Bustin Jeiber showed up to the club and I was told he wanted to perform.
"Dark venue and loud music didn't help here.
"So his 'team' said he wanted to perform Sorry. Little did I know I was about to be sorry...

Dylan Desclos has a history of impersonating Bieber
"The place went wild, and after 4 minutes and 27 seconds of what sounded like Justin Bieber, I found out the worst news imaginable.
"COMPLETE FAKE. NO WAY."
At the end of the video, Gryffin said: "I literally thought, 'He's put on a lot of weight since the album dropped.'"
A rep for Wynn and XS Nightclub told TMZ: 'After an elaborate and multi-step ruse by him and his advance team, a Justin Bieber impersonator was granted access to the XS stage.
'As soon as the error was recognized, he was removed from the resort and denied future entry.'
Desclos eventually paid the tab he and his gang racked up.

Emily Atack reveals Rivals nude scene secrets as she vows to go on playing sexy women ‘for as long as they'll have me'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A DOOMED love affair, naked tennis and plenty of sex are just some of the things that Emily Atack's character Sarah Stratton gets up to in telly bonkbuster Rivals. And the actress reckons she is the ideal person to play the blonde bombshell — as she is practically the same person. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 Emily Atack reckons she is practically the same person as her Rivals character 6 The naked tennis match featuring Emily's character Sarah Stratton is a key scene in Jilly Cooper's original novel Credit: Planet Photos 6 Emily says she 'wasn't afraid to identify' with her Rivals character Credit: Instagram @emilyatack Emily, 35, is seen in the Disney+ eight-parter having her heart broken by sexy Lothario Rupert Campbell-Black, which she says she can definitely relate to. She revealed: 'I wasn't afraid to identify with her and I completely, I AM her. 'I'm a very flawed woman. 'I've made terrible decisions in my love life. 'I used all of that — it was completely genuine — and yes, I used the vulnerability, all of it. 'Finally, women are being written about in a certain way. 'These demonised women, they're not being celebrated but they are being understood better. 'Women like Sarah Stratton have never been written with nuance. 'They're always certain types of women — the demonised types of women, you know, the home wreckers and everything. 'Big furry knickers' 'I think people have been quite scared to admit that they identify with characters like Sarah.' Emily Atack says stripping for Rivals and playing naked tennis 'was liberating' In Rivals, Sarah is a wannabe TV host who is married to Deputy Prime Minister Paul Stratton, played by Rufus Jones, and is unquestionably one of the most glamorous characters on the show — which Emily loved. The actress, who shot to fame playing Charlotte 'Big Jugs' Hinchcliffe on Channel 4 sitcom The Inbetweeners, says: 'There are roles that come along and the term 'typecast' is always seen as this negative thing. 'I've been typecast my whole life and I loved every single minute of it. 'I will carry on playing these sexy women for as long as they will have me.' Having been romantically linked to a string of celebrities, ranging from Harry Styles to Jack Grealish, Emily is now in engaged to scientist Dr Alistair Garner, with whom she shares 16-month-old son Barney. Her stint on The Inbetweeners from 2008 to 2010 led to a long line of other work ranging from stand-up comedy to acting. Rivals, which has been a hit around the globe since it came out last year, is arguably her biggest gig to date — and it's one which, arguably, she was destined to play. I just made it my part before they could even make a decision. This particular one I was like, yeah they'd be stupid not to (hire me.) Emily Atack Talking at the Edinburgh TV Festival, Emily revealed how producers specifically had her in mind for the role, which she embraced. She said: 'The breakdown for the characters said, 'Think Emily Atack', so they went, 'Well, let's just get Emily, then.' 'I still had to audition. 'I went in with all the get-up on and they thought I'd dressed up. 'I was actually just going to a bar afterwards. 'They were like, 'Thank you so much for dressing as the role,' I was like, 'No worries.'' 6 Emily is now in engaged to scientist Dr Alistair Garner Credit: Instagram 6 Emily is seen in the Disney+ eight-parter having her heart broken by sexy Lothario Rupert Campbell-Black Credit: Instagram She added sarcastically: 'I had to dig REAL deep for my character. 'As soon as you read something like that it naturally flows out of you. 'You naturally feel at home with it. 'That's how I felt with Sarah Stratton. 'I just made it my part before they could even make a decision. 'This particular one I was like, yeah they'd be stupid not to (hire me.)'' Now Emily is reprising her role as Sarah, opposite Alex Hassell as Tory MP Rupert, in the second series of Rivals which is halfway through filming and is expected to drop late next year. 'Stick-on muff' She can't emphasise enough how well the cast get on, which is partly down to their 'no d***s on set' policy — meaning no bad behaviour. That rule was also essential when she and Alex had to film their naked tennis match in the grounds of Rupert's grand stately house, which is a key scene in Jilly Cooper's original novel. It has become synonymous with the show, and earlier this year it was even nominated as one of Bafta's TV Moments Of The Year. Well-endowed Rupert was supposed to have a member that he could 'bat bread rolls' with, and the creative team did consider giving him an oversized prosthetic to wear. But while they opted for the actor to go with the 'model's own' option, Emily had something more than a tennis racket and balls to cover herself up — and it was not just for reasons of modesty. She revealed: 'I had a stick-on muff. 6 Emily shot to fame playing Charlotte 'Big Jugs' Hinchcliffe on Channel 4 sitcom The Inbetweeners Credit: Handout 'I had to have a merkin, it's called, and I had all these fittings for them. 'They were going: 'Oh no, it's too blonde that one,' and it had to be a proper Eighties bush. 'But that actually helped because it actually just felt like I had these big furry knickers on, and I kept looking at the monitor going: 'Oh, do I look alright? Oh God!' 'And seeing yourself naked on camera like that is so weird and jarring but once I'd seen it I was like, oh, fine. 'I couldn't put my clothes back on. 'It was quite liberating. 'They were like, 'Emily, can you put your clothes back on now?'' But she was keen to point out that despite the sexual nature of the scenes and the nudity, she never felt uncomfortable because, like on other dramas, intimacy co-ordinators were on set. 'Safe environment' They were needed on Rivals as there were many sex scenes involving a lot of characters — which, of course, were all based on the sauciness in Jilly's books. Emily said: 'It's a very new profession, the intimacy co-ordinators. 'Everybody is still navigating it and working it out. 'But I'm really proud of Rivals and it is such a massive representation of how far we have come in the industry in terms of taking care of people's needs and emotions. 'It's such a safe environment, and I'm not just saying that because I'm on it.' Filming of series two started in May and will continue until February, with Jilly back, heavily involved in the production. The novelist has even invited all the cast to an enormous party — which means Emily will jet down from Edinburgh to the West Country immediately after her stint at the TV festival. Then she will go direct from partying to filming her next scenes in Rivals. Emily said: 'Yes, I'm going to Jilly Cooper's house tonight. 'My pick-up time is hideous tomorrow, though — they do that to me so I don't stay out too late!'

John Crawley dead: TikTok star dies at 47 after being placed on ventilator
TikTok creator John Crawley, widely recognized online as KingBeardX and Pimpmunkx, has died at 47 after suffering a cardiac arrest, TMZ has reported. Crawley passed away Monday in hospital after spending over two weeks under medical care, according to James Steele of Glenfield Funeral Home in New Albany, Mississippi. His longtime friend and former podcast cohost Anthony Caruso launched a GoFundMe during Crawley's hospitalization, revealing the content creator had been admitted to North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo with breathing difficulties. It comes after Jessie J made a heartbreaking confession about the darkest moment of her cancer diagnosis. He was later placed on a ventilator, transferred to the ICU, and had a chest tube inserted before his death. Crawley gained a massive following for his comedic reactions to food videos, amassing over 2.5 million followers on TikTok and nearly 1 million on Instagram. With no medical insurance and as his family's main source of income, a GoFundMe was launched by friends of John Crawley to cover funeral expenses and provide financial support for his loved ones. 'Knowing him personally, John was a good guy. He lit up a lot of people's worlds,' funeral director James Steele told TMZ. 'I just left his house and was with his mother, we prayed together. She's torn up right now but she's going to make it.' On August 4, a family member shared a health update on the fundraising page: 'He went to the hospital; he was having trouble breathing. Doctors put him on a ventilator… we went past 66% (O2 levels) and he stopped breathing. They (put him into the ICU and) brought it back up to 100% (O2 levels). He just had a tube placed in his chest… his breathing condition is still very bad.' Sadly, the page was later updated on Tuesday by Anthony Caruso with news of Crawley's death. 'I'm really sorry to tell everyone the bad news but Pimpmunkx (KingBeardx) passed away yesterday,' he wrote. 'Thank you to everyone that has supported the fundraiser so far. His mother says told me to thank you all.' He added: 'The fundraiser will continue to go on to support fundraising a funeral/helping John's mother.' Over $2,228 had been raised toward the $9,000 goal. Crawley's final TikTok post was shared on July 22, and since news of his passing broke, fans have been flooding social media with tributes. One devastated TikTok user wrote: "You made us laugh on our darkest days, thank you for sharing your light, KingBeardX." Another echoed: "Gone too soon, but your voice and humor will live on forever in our feeds." Someone else added: "Thank you for always keeping it real man. You made the internet feel like home."

First video of Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson together resurfaces on social media... when she was just 21
When Bill Belichick was spotted walking around the New Orleans ' French Quarter in January 2023, local football fans were hoping he was in line to take over the struggling Saints. People paid little attention to the young woman walking alongside him in a pink top. But two-and-a-half years later, the footage appears to be the first time Belichick, now age 73, was seen with his 49-years-younger girlfriend Jordon Hudson. At the time the clip was taken, Hudson would have been just 21 years old, while Belichick would have been 70. The controversial couple appear unaware that they are being filmed in the footage that was first shared by the New Orleans travel Instagram page, New Orleans Lifestyle. 'When you randomly spot a Super Bowl winning coach and wish they were in town for a job interview,' the caption read. Exactly what the couple were there for is unclear but Belichick would have been absolved of any major football commitments at the time. His New England Patriots team had failed to reach the NFL playoffs and Belichick would go on and have just one more season as the team's head coach before departing after 24 seasons. Combining with Tom Brady, they won six Super Bowl titles together. Belichick and Hudson, meanwhile, first met on a flight from Boston to Tampa in 2021, when the NFL great was in a relationship with his now ex-girlfriend Linda Holliday. The timeline of when things with Holliday broke down and how his relationship with Hudson became romantic is unclear but Belichick's split with Holliday was confirmed in September 2022. They had been together for 16 years. Back in February, Hudson and Belichick returned to New Orleans for the Super Bowl, where they watched the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Kansas City Chiefs. They attended several lavish events together leading up to football's showpiece game, while also stunning onlookers by going for a drink in an Irish bar packed with NFL fans on one night. Since then, Hudson has made a series of calamitous PR mis-steps that have caused so much scrutiny on the couple, the idea of walking down the street unnoticed is now nothing but a fantasy. The most notable self-inflicted humiliation came when Belichick gave an interview to CBS. From off-camera, Hudson interrupted to stop a visibly uncomfortable Belichick from answering a question on how they met - something CBS said happened repeatedly during the interview. Recently, two podcasters from 'The Sports Gossip Show' detailed a week of excuciating exchanges between themselves and Hudson. They were keen to have her as a guest on their show but amid a growing sense of unease from speaking to Hudson, talks ended with Belichick's girlfriend 'yelling and crying' on the phone at how they had mocked her appearing at a beauty pageant. It remains to be seen how much Hudson has curbed her appetite for center stage but for Belichick, a huge day is approaching with his first game at college level as head coach of University of North Carolina. They face TCU on Monday, September 1 - a massively anticipated game for plenty of reasons off the field after the last few months.
