"Will Smith has accused the media of mounting &amp;quot;a war&amp;quot; on young celebrities like Justin Bieber. The Men in Black actor met with Bieber at the height of the &amp;#039;Boyfriend&amp;#039; singer&amp;#039;s controversy in London, where he was two hours late to a concert and had a confrontation with a paparazzo.   Bieber&amp;#039;s troubles have only continued since returning to the US, as he is facing possible battery charges for a confrontation with his neighbor. Smith was asked to address Bieber&amp;#039;s current struggles while attending the premiere of Free Angela and All Political Prisoners this week. &amp;quot;Somebody is 19 years old, they&amp;#039;re gonna do what they&amp;#039;re gonna do just like we did,&amp;quot; the actor explained to Extra. Smith added of his recent meeting with Bieber: &amp;quot;For me the most important thing was for him to know anytime he can just call and I&amp;#039;ll come, whatever happens. &amp;quot;At that age that&amp;#039;s what you need to know. You can do what ya gonna do, but you have someplace you can go, you can find safety.&amp;quot;  The After Earth star also expressed his belief that the tabloid media have gone too far in their pursuit of salacious articles about Hollywood&amp;#039;s young celebrities. &amp;quot;We think it hugely important to support artists, young artists specifically,&amp;quot; Will said of himself and wife Jada Pinkett Smith. &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s really a war against that kind of artistry, that kind of creation, and against youth.&amp;quot; Chris Brown also recently commented that he will be praying that Bieber overcomes his current public struggles. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s a case of how I feel. Being young, having a limitless amount of income to do whatever you want. You have nobody who&amp;#039;s going to say, &amp;#039;Hey bro, you look whack right now&amp;#039;,&amp;quot; Brown said earlier in the week. Bieber will be back on stage with his &amp;#039;Believe&amp;#039; tour tonight (April 5) in Dortmund, Germany and on Saturday (April 6) in Cologne.
