Lauren Alaina 'met Justin Bieber with rip in dress'

American Idol runner-up Lauren Alaina has recalled how excited she was to meet Justin Bieber in person for the first time.

Alaina met the 'Baby' singer at the Country Music Television Awards earlier this month, where she presented Sugarland with the award for 'Duo Video of the Year'.

"I found out that Justin Bieber was there and I said that I wanted to meet him, and I guess the people that I was there with made it happen," Alaina revealed to MTV News.

"I walked up to meet him, and then I was just looking at my outfit and I realised I had a rip in the side of my dress, so I was trying to fix it real fast," she recalled.

Despite only sharing a brief moment with the Canadian singer, Alaina said that she was thrilled with their encounter.

"It was cool just to meet him," she explained. "Everyone wants to meet Justin Bieber and I got to do it, so it was really nice."

Bieber Fever: Summit Resident Gets the Chance of a Lifetime

Zowie Vukasinovic, a 9-year-old Summit resident, camped out overnight outside Macy's in Herald Square for a chance to meet the Biebs!

Tuesday morning my mom was browsing on Facebook and saw that Z100 was giving away tickets to meet Justin Bieber.  We knew the chance of winning those tickets was ZERO, so we called Macy’s to find out more about the event. They told us that the first 325 people to buy Justin Bieber’s fragrance ‘Someday’ would get to meet him and take a picture with him Thursday morning.

So we decided to go to New York and camp out in front of Macy’s with all the other fans and be one of the first ones in line.

We arrived around 7 p.m. Tuesday evening and were among the first 60 people there. We sat next to some really nice girls and their moms.

We pitched in to by a huge sleeping bag and used it to lay on or playing cards. We spent the night walking around a lot and taking pictures and videos of the other fans in line. We talked, sang, and laughed a lot. The first 25-30 fans had some trouble with cockroaches and rats ...  sooo gross!

I got really tired in the morning and fell asleep at around 5 or 6 a.m. The press arrived at 8 and started filming us. So cool.

When they opened the door at 10 a.m. they let us go in in groups and we were finally able to buy the package (2 bottles of the fragrance, 1 body lotion, 1 hair scent, 1 laptop sleeve) and – finally – the ticket to see the Biebs!

We went home to freshen up and rest. Thursday morning our alarm didn’t go off and we overslept a bit. We took the 7 a.m. train to NY but it broke down and we had to go to Hoboken and take the Path... not fun.

When we got there we were the fifth ticket holder to arrive. But the security guy told us to leave and come back later. At 10 a.m. we went to the 8th floor to form a line. Some girls started begging me to take them inside, they were really aggressive, even tried to take my tag. My mom took it from me to keep it safe. Unfortunately they sent us away agin and told us not to show up before 12:30. But when we got back at 12:15 they had already let people in the waiting area: we were sooooo mad. So we sat down and waited until 4:30 p.m.! We were all yelling ‘we want Justin!’ and sometimes we sang really loud.

Finally they got the line moving. My mom had to stand behind the security guard with all the other moms and I waited in the “Take a Picture with Bieber” line. Finally it was my turn, but a worker from Justin’s crew dragged me into a group photo with Justin. I was really upset and told Justin that I really wanted a picture with only him and me in it. He said I should talk to Kenny, his bodyguard, so I can get a single picture with him. I talked to Kenny and he said that I could definitely get one. Then he asked if I really liked Justin and the crew and I said yes, so Kenny introduced me to Patty, Scooter, and a lot of other people. Then I got my picture taken with JUSTIN BIEBER!

After that I was crying so much because I had finally met Justin Bieber and he was so nice and respectful. I like him 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times more now; I never thought that was even possible! I cant wait to see him again and I would camp out again to get tickets for one of his event.

Oh, one more thing: THANK YOU, MOM!

Justin Bieber Meets Teen Fan, Helps Obama Keep His Word

Most Justin Bieber fans resort to mob mentality to get close to their heart-throb, but 14-year-old Payton Wall's patriotic approach -- detailing her love for the Biebs in a 1,500-word email to the president -- paid off on Friday, when she got to sit down with Bieber at Macy's in New York.

 

In an email to the White House, the New Jersey teen had written that watching the singer's documentary, "Never Say Never" inspired her "to believe in ourselves and share our story to encourage others," the New York Post reported.

Obama read the heartfelt story in May and invited Wall and her family to meet with him when he visited Ground Zero, which they did.

During their meeting, Obama reportedly told Wall, "I know Justin … maybe I could set something up." News outlets including the political blog the Daily Intel seized on the potential of an unfulfilled presidential promise, intimating that even Obama wouldn't get access to the boy wonder.

An Obama fan himself, Bieber caught wind of the situation and chimed in, tweeting, "I think you're wrong. pretty sure President @BarackObama will keep this promise."

Finally Friday, Wall, her 12-year-old sister Avery and her best friend had their wish granted during a perfume promotion in Herald Square.

"It was so cool. I couldn't even believe it," Wall told the Post. "He just said 'Hi.' He was asking us about the perfume and if we were wearing it."

Her younger sister described Bieber as "really nice" and "so cute," noting that, "he didn't even look real."

The girls carried a life-size cardboard cutout of Obama, and posed for pictures with Bieber and the 2-D president.

They later shared the experience on Facebook and Twitter, posting photos from the event. Wall, whose love for the Biebs apparently made her forget that it was Obama's involvement that snagged her the meeting, promptly tweeted "just want to say thanks to @justinbieber for taking the time to meet me!"

Prior to contacting the White House, she had reached out to Bieber on Twitter, asking if she could share her "awful life story" in a letter. She got no reply.

Justin Bieber Promotes His Fragrance At Meet and Greet

Justin Bieber must really know what women want! Last year he co-designed an exclusive line of nail lacquers with Nicole by OPI which was sold at Walmart and he created scented-dog tags for both men and women. And this year he is releasing a floral fragrance for women called Someday.

 

The fragrance is set to officially arrive to stores on June 23 and to kick off the launch party festivities, Justin has teamed up with Charity Buzz to auction off a meet-and-greet with proceeds going to Give Back Brands Foundation and Communities in Schools. But thats not all! Proceeds from purchases of Someday will go to Make-a-Wish and Pencils of Promise. In a recent interview, Justin explains involving altrustic goals with fragrance marketing:

Someday is the idea that we can change the world, make our dreams come true, and even be with the one person that means everything. Giving back has always been incredibly important to me, but let‟s be honest … I wanted to create a fragrance for my female fans that I can‟t get enough of … that I want to get next to and I can’t stay away from. I know they’ll love the scent, but also the opportunity to support some amazing charities. It’s a gift that gives back.

I love what Justin is doing! He’s not only creating cool cosmetics and products just for his fans, but he’s using his fame for the greater good. His frequent charity work projects which have included Great Ornand Street Hospital Children’s Charity and PETA, make him a wonderful role model for the younger generation.

Its pretty obvious that some celebrities use a few pet charities to enhance their own image, but its seems to me that when it comes to making a difference, Justin really cares. The fact that he has been involved in many different organizations including education programs, children charities, and pet charities proves that he’s serious about helping in every way possible.

Justin Bieber Auctions Off Someday Launch Meet-and-Greet for Charity

Justin Bieber's new fragrance Someday is just days away from being available in stores, and now the 17-year-old pop star is giving Beliebers the chance to get up close and personal with him at his perfume launch in New York City on June 23.

While proceeds from the sales of Someday are already being donated to Justin's favorite organizations, Pencils of Promise and the Make-a-Wish Foundation, the pop star is teaming up with Charity Buzz to auction off a meet-and-greet, which will benefit Communities in Schools and the Give Back Brands Foundation.

"Someday is the idea that we can change the world, make our dreams come true, and even be with the one person that means everything," Justin said. "Giving back has always been incredibly important to me, but let‟s be honest ... I wanted to create a fragrance for my female fans that I can‟t get enough of ... that I want to get next to and I can‟t stay away from. I know they'll love the scent, but also the opportunity to support some amazing charities. It's a gift that gives back."

Right now, it'll cost a pretty penny to win the auction. The current bid is at $3,250! But there are still five days to get your bid in, if you can top that amount to meet the Bieb. Check out the CharityBuzz auction here, and get psyched for Someday to hit shelves next week.
