James Corden carpools with Justin Bieber, shares an awkward erotic Bieber fantasy

If you shut off the TV or switched from CBS after David Letterman's final sign-off Wednesday night, you missed Late Late Show host James Corden's car trip with Justin Bieber. Don't worry, they posted it to YouTube. It's billed as "carpool karaoke" — which, not to quibble too much, is wrong both because the music has the original vocal tracks and only one of the dudes is going to work (Corden) — but the singing to the radio is the least interesting part, anyway.

The reasons to watch are Justin Bieber's impressive Rubik's Cube skills and the conversation — specifically, Bieber's reaction when Corden laid out a fairly elaborate fantasy involving a woman, a bed, some Bieber tunes, and a cutout of Bieber's silhouette on the bathroom door. Lesser pop stars might have jumped out of the car; Bieber agreed to swap clothes. You can watch below. —Peter Weber
