Obama arranges Justin Bieber visit to 9/11 girl

Justin Bieber has vowed to follow through with a meeting arranged by Barack Obama to a fan whose father was killed in the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

14-year-old Payton Wall reached out to the president after her request to see the 'Baby' singer face to face was snubbed by the young superstar's team.

WENN reports that she then received an invitation from the White House to a Ground Zero ceremony marking the death of Osama Bin Laden last week, where Obama pledged to organise a meeting with her idol.

Despite skepticism from the media over his promise, TMZ claims that Obama contacted Bieber the same day and got the Never Say Never star to commit to the one-on-one during the US leg of his 'My World' tour.

However, Payton's mother Diane has since shared with the New York Daily News her doubts about the meeting ever coming to fruition.

She said: "It would be nice if [Payton] gets to meet Justin Bieber. We don't know much about it right now. I don't want to get her hopes up."

Obama and Bieber, who were recently named the two most influential figures in social media, were said to have 'hung out' in the Oval Office last year.

Matt Damon hits out at Barack Obama

Actor Matt Damon has criticised US President Barack Obama for failing to fulfil his promises.

Damon campaigned heavily for Obama to win the presidential elections in 2008, but now feels bad on his failure to fix the US economy and unemployment problem, reports contactmusic.com.

"I think he's rolled over to Wall Street completely. The economy has huge problems. We still have all these banks that are too big to fail. They're bigger and making more money than ever," he told The Independent.

"Unemployment at 10 percent? It's terrible... They had a chance that they don't have any more to stand up for things. They've probably squandered that at this point. They'll probably just make whatever deals they can to try and get elected again," he added.

The actor says he isn't happy with Obama's handling of education in the country.

"They have to get people who actually know about educating kids in positions of power. Now they're trying to get business people to come and manage schools like they're factories. It's not going to work," he said.
