Being Justin Bieber
october 2010 by squirrel
Imagine that you have the same name as a celebrity. Then imagine having the name of the hottest teen hearthrob of the year: Justin Bieber. The 35-year-old Justin Bieber of Jacksonville, Florida, suffers the consequences. He was kicked off Facebook, presumably for impersonating a celebrity, and he can’t get any sleep because of all the phone calls from fans.
He changed his phone number and put it in his wife’s name, but it still was put on a fan website. Now he gets even more calls – sometimes 50 messages in two hours. Usually, he just unplugs the phone.
He also tried to contact Facebook to get reinstated, but it’s hard. Bieber had an account for six months, when with no warning or email, his account was disabled.
“I guess their policy is ban first, ask questions never.” He was briefly kicked off another social network, Ping, which is affiliated with iTunes.
He also still gets anywhere from two to 10 fan letters a day.
Bieber says there’s an upside to the situation. For the first time in his life, everyone knows how to pronounce his name correctly! Link -via The Daily What
