Movember

That's not a moustache! Justin Bieber proves he's still a Baby when it comes to Movember... as other celebs show him how it's done

He may be turning 18 early next year but it seems that Justin Bieber's got a long way to go until he can grow a proper moustache.

The pop star has tried his best to do his bit for Movember but fans may need a microscope to take a proper look at his facial hair.

Bieber was pictured at NBC's Today Show at the Rockefeller Plaza in New York last week and showed off a very faint 'tache.

Rather than looking at his face, his fans were probably more concerned with his performance and the fact that he forgot some of his lyrics whilst performing.

Perhaps it was his new moustache that affected his memory and he's obviously not used to performing with facial hair, but no doubt he'll continue to do it every November now and gain a little more hair each year.

Bieber could take some advice from fellow celebrities who have taken to growing a charitable 'tache this month as there seems to be more and more men supporting the cause this year.

Boyzone singer Ronan Keating has documented his Movember efforts on Twitter every day this month, but seems to have misunderstood the idea slightly and kept an entire beard rather than just a moustache.

Ricky Gervais, on the other hand, did understand the concept and grew a very noticeable one.

The comedian posted a photo of himself on Twitter earlier this month saying: 'Morning Twerps Half way through shaving I paused for Movember. First and last time you will see me like this.'

Another funnyman supporting the cause is Jason Manford, but it's not just the comedians who can poke fun at themselves with facial hair as many men from the world of sport have had a go too.

Former footballer, Gary Lineker, led the way after showing off his impressive 'tache at the opening of the Halcyon Gallery in London last night.

It's a much better effort than his attempts to grow some facial hair last month - when he was slated by fans on Twitter who compared it to looking like 'iron filings.'

Wearing a smart grey suit, the Match Of The Day presenter had co-ordinated his look perfectly with his hair and moustache.

The aim of Movember is to raise vital funds and awareness for men's health, specifically prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men, so it's no wonder that various other famous faces of the sports world have joined in too.

Stoke City FC player, Peter Crouch, was spotted showing off his impressive 'tache before training today and OPQ player Shaun Derry modelled his handlebar look during a game at the weekend.

His fellow team mate, Tommy Smith, joined him and looked good with his dark moustache, but Noel Evans took the idea of Movember to a whole new level as he shave his entire body hair to represent a moustache.

Blackpool player Barry Ferguson kept his hair short and sweet to celebrate the cause, and Formula One driver, Jenson Button, was also spotted earlier this month with a progressive 'tache.

Other famous faces who have taken part in the charitable event this month include Noah And The Whale singer, Charlie Fink, who grew a cool, dark moustache to match his big hair.

And there's also been women getting in on the action - or Mo Sistas as they like to call themselves.

Property Ladder presenter, Sarah Beeny, is a registered Mo Sista and is probably supporting her husband Graham Swift, as most women who sign up are often supporting a man in their life who is growing a 'tache.
