Update: you'll find the answer here
"I turn polar bears white"
Polar bears have clear hair shafts, so when light from the sun's rays reflect off them, they appear white.
"and I will make you cry."
When you look at the sun, your eyes water, making it seem like you're crying.
"I make guys have to pee"
The sun coming up in the morning wakes you up if you've been sleeping, and most of you know that soon after you wake up, you have to pee.
"and girls comb their hair."
The sun brings light, which brings visibility to our world. Girls, once it is light, worry about being seen. They comb their hair to look better in the light from the sun.
"I make celebrities look stupid"
Everyone who's read People Magazine knows that celebrities can look stupid. The sun is the provider of light for the stupid pictures that have been taken.
"and normal people look like celebrities."
Just like the sun sees/makes celebrities look stupid, it can make normal people look like celebrities. Both are possible with the right lighting.
"I turn pancakes brown"
The brown on pancakes is just reflected light, which comes from the sun.
"and make your champane bubble."
The sun's light catches the champagne bubbles, causing them to sparkle. Without light, they wouldn't be visible.
"If you squeeze me, I'll pop."
This line probably originated from the previous line's image of champagne bubbles "popping." But if we were to squeeze the sun, which is a ball of gas, we can imagine that it would pop.
"If you look at me, you'll pop."
Again, the word "pop." The repetition is obvious. "Pop" in this situation means to destroy. Did your mother ever tell you not to look at the sun? Mine did. She told me that it would destroy my vision, making me go blind.
the answer IS air; let me clarify.
the polar bears thing: yellow in the summer, white in the winter or whatever u said.
Make you cry: mid-life crisis? depression? tragedies/deaths?
Have to pee: After you hold a pee, yes, you will.
Girls comb their hair: older girls will comg their hair.
Celebrities look stupid: when they get old, they look stupid.
Normal people look like celebrities: when little children grow up, yes
Pancakes brown: that happens OVER TIME.
champaigne bubble: champaigne from like, the 60's and stuff is always bubbly.
squeeze me, i'll pop: if you "squeeze" time (euphemism for wasting time), you'll run out of time (i.e. time will pop)
look at me, you'll pop: this makes the most sense. when you are pressed for time while doing something, you will constantly look at the clock, and as time runs out, you (pop).
the only way i could see a kid saying this (if that part's true) is if, like in the hobbit, they say something to the extent of, "Give me more time!"
and for those of you who said God, that can fit pretty much any riddle.
i can't find it anywhere
who's the author?
this riddle is old:polar bears are white because the pressure at the poles is low, so they have to be able to absorb heat.
pressure makes you cry if it's too much.
pressure in your bladder makes you have to pee.
peer pressure makes girls comb their hair.. otherwise we wouldn't bother!
celebrities usually crack under pressure.
many normal people will shine under pressure.
pancakes turn brown thanks to pressure generated by the heat.
champagne will bubble until the pressure of the carbonation has disappeared.
if you squeeze something under pressure, BAM, there it goes.
if you are "looking" at pressure, you're in it, like in an airplane, and your ears pop.
