What do you get when the queen of lifestyle interviews the prince of pop? A damn good chat -- that's what!

For the August issue of Interview magazine, Justin Bieber went shirtless (obvi) and had a sit down with Martha Stewart (not-so obvi), in which he dished about all aspects of his life and career.

The shoot, which was photographed by noted photographer Steven Klein, features the bare-chested and beautiful 21-year-old in a variety of poses.

The Biebs told Stewart that he hadn't planned on making a career as a musician:

    "Music was never something that I was going to do for a living. At 13 you're not even thinking of that, you know. I was just playing for fun and uploading videos to YouTube because I wanted to show my family. That's when Scooter found me."


The "Baby" singer also opened up about how music manager Scooter Braun convinced him to leave his home in Canada and pursue a life in music.

    "He kind of stalked me, basically,""He got in touch with a lot of people in Stratford[, Ontario] because he couldn’t get in touch with me. My mom's last name is Mallette, and my last name is Bieber, so he contacted my great aunt, who I'd never met before. He contacted the school board. My mom was getting all these messages saying, 'This guy named Scooter is trying to get in touch with you.' After a while, it got kind of creepy to my mom, so she finally gave him a call to tell him to stop calling. She ended up talking to him for about two hours. They kept in touch, and we eventually made a trip out to Atlanta to see what he's about and to see what kind of connections he could get."

Bieber connection to Braun led to the release of three multiplatinum studio albums and hits like "Boyfriend," "Never Say Never," and "Beauty and a Beat."

Selena Gomez's on-again/off-again love is now gearing up for his next studio album, which he talked to Stewart about:

    "I'm really not worried about when it's finished, I just want it to be perfect, so we're taking our time with it. I've been working with Kanye West and Rick Rubin. We've gone in with a bunch of different people. I'm just trying to get the best sound and have it be consistent and make sense with what I'm going through in my life right now."

Now we just wish Ms. Stewart would teach him how to throw the perfect dinner party -- and invite us!
