Imagine that you have the same name as a celebrity. Then imagine having the name of the hottest teen hearthrob of the year: Justin Bieber. The 35-year-old Justin Bieber of Jacksonville, Florida, suffers the consequences. He was kicked off Facebook, presumably for impersonating a celebrity, and he can't get any sleep because of all the phone calls from fans.

He changed his phone number and put it in his wife's name, but it still was put on a fan website. Now he gets even more calls - sometimes 50 messages in two hours. Usually, he just unplugs the phone.
He also tried to contact Facebook to get reinstated, but it's hard. Bieber had an account for six months, when with no warning or email, his account was disabled.
"I guess their policy is ban first, ask questions never." He was briefly kicked off another social network, Ping, which is affiliated with iTunes.
He also still gets anywhere from two to 10 fan letters a day.

They should kick the "real" Bieber off facebook, he has enough people and money to run his own website.

Can't he get an unlisted / private phone number and sue the fan site that put his number on the Internet?
