Waiting for Justin Bieber, Teens Swarm Roosevelt Field Mall

Unless you're under 21 or the parent of a teenager, you might not know who Justin Bieber is.... or even how to pronounce his name. (It sounds like "beeber.") But anyone shopping at the Roosevelt Field Mall last week will certainly never forget his name.

A tween clothing store at the mall, Justice, announced that the teenage heart-throb from Canada would be appearing there. About three thousand teenage girls showed up, with or without their parents. Some lovestruck girls even chanted, "We want Justin!" But they never got to see the 15-year-old Canadian singing sensation because the event was cancelled.

Nassau County police were called in to help disperse the crowd and several people sustained minor injuries. The pop star sent out several "tweets" to his fans on twitter, asking them to leave the mall. This included the messages: "They are not allowing me to come into the mall. If you don't leave I and my fans will be arrested as the police just told us." and "The event at Roosevelt mall is cancelled. Please go home. The police have already arrested one person from my camp. I don't want anyone hurt."
