Justin Bieber's computer was never stolen -- and his claims that it was were nothing more than a publicity stunt for his new music video.

"yesterday during the show me and my tour manager josh had some stuff stolen ....i had a lot of personal footage on that computer," Bieber tweeted earlier this week.

A ton of websites took the tweet seriously and some blogs speculated that naked pics or a sex tape of the 18-year-old star would possibly leak. Yesterday, Justin even had to speak out saying that some nude photos that popped up online were fakes.

But today he revealed it was all a joke from the start.
