A hysterical sister on the phone can only mean one of two things, she's met One Direction or she's got a picture of Justin Bieber.
The Beebs has become a lot more interesting to follow recently, now he may actually be Daddy Beebs. But yet, Katie remains unphased in the adoration of this boy. His PR team have done well. She is still convinced, like many millions of other girls, that he is innocent of this and that actually his mother does not let him out of her sight, I wonder how much of this is spin. I have to say I'm looking forward to the DNA results.
Like every other teenage girl in the world she's fallen hook line and sinker for the charmer. This obsession reached new heights the other day when she received a phone call from ITV saying that she has won tickets to go and watch them film 'This is Justin Bieber'. I don't know that I have ever heard her more hysterically excited as she was when she rang me to tell me about her previous conversation.
After promptly informing me that I was too old to be allowed to go (a small detail that she revels in telling me every time I see her... 'Laura your soooo old, when I tell my friends how old you are, they all say "oh my gosh she's really old.''') I'm 22. Since when is that old?... personally I think that being this age should be enough to rate me as 'cool' in her friends books, but aparently I have supassed the cool age now, and as far as they're concerned I may as well be middle aged!
Anyway, in this case I feel my age may have saved me. Can you imagine the droves of screaming girls that will be outside of the ITV studio's when its filming time?
Not only are these girls going to be Bielebers, a breed of fan unlike any other - anyone that's seen Never Say Never will know this.
It's the most adoring 500 Bielebers in the country. Yes, thats right, these audience members can be rated as one of the top 500 most enthusiastic Bieber fans in England. I almost fear for my sisters safety amongst this crowd!
To get these sought after tickets it wasn't just a case of a quick prize draw, no no, you had to write a 500 word essay on why you love Justin Bieber. So my sister is now in the same rankings as this girl...
She has actually had the lyrics to 'Baby' tattooed on her leg alongside his signature.
WOW that's keen.
So when I received this text from Katie today containing her picture of ticket and the statement 'I can't actually breathe' and my fears were realised.
She is officially a Bieleber.
Whilst I'm partial to a casual bop to 'Baby' and found myself embarassingly intrigued by Never Say Never it still amazes me how keen the fans are! I am intrigued to hear about the crowd control, after the extreme sites at Westfield this week, I wonder how ITV will cope with 500 of these girlies!
Being the cool kid that I am, I'm no stranger to the ITV studio's. I may have got my hands on a pair of tickets to go and watch them film 'A Night with Susan Boyle' a couple of years ago. How we all love SUBO. So me and my mum trundled up to London ready for what we hoped would be a fun day out. Dressed up in our glad rags and ready for a giggle we waited for hours under our brollys, ready for the moment when ITV opened its doors and we could enjoy the show. The only thing is, that when they invite you to these things & participation is free, they like to take the piss a bit. We only got to watch a couple of songs before our audiences time was up, we were shipped out and the next set were in. Just to keep 'em fresh I guess. It was a very strange set up and one that did a pretty good job at winding a lot of people up. And me too. At least we got to see her perform 'I've dreamed a dream' which is more than I can say for the other rounds of audience members. Boooooooo.
Luckily katies flirtation with fame seems to be a bit more genuine. At least she has a proper ticket rather than a printed out piece of paper, she's even received a phone call from the studio itself, so clearly it's better to be a Bieleber than a SUBO geek.
