Leave a Message After the Biebs
“Call me right now,” tweeted teenybopper singer Justin Bieber, 18 — and he included all but the last digit of a Dallas phone number. By the time he’d deleted the message from his profile on Twitter, fans had begun spreading it — and calling the 10 possible phone numbers. So Dilcie Fleming, an 81-year-old great-grandmother, began getting messages on her answering machine like this: “Justin, I know you’re there and I love you so much. ...I love you, I love, I love you so much. Please call me back.” Sometimes callers got Fleming herself. “I did tell one young lady,” she said, “that you just don’t realize that he has no interest in you whatsoever.” (AC/KTVT Dallas) ...And he doesn’t care about the people whose numbers he swamped, either.Original Publication Date: 01 April 2012
