Justin Bieber: Blame Twitter for His Broken Foot

Fifteen-year-old singer ends up in hospital after meeting Taylor Swift via the social networking program

Justin Bieber can thank Twitter for his broken foot.

See, if it wasn't for the social networking phenomenon, the li'l guy may never have met Taylor Swift and therefore may never have gotten the chance to open for her at England's Wembley Arena.

We'll let the Biebster explain...

"Taylor made a video singing my song one time on YouTube," pop music's newest 15-year-old singing sensation tells us. "And so I twittered her. She was twittering me back and we got to hang out."

Then Bieber went to one of Swift's concerts at Madison Square Garden in New York City followed by another one in Nashville.

"I got to hang out with her for a little bit...and we text a lot," Bieber said. "She's just a really nice person."

If you haven't heard by now, Bieber took a stumble during his set on Monday. He fractured his right foot and was treated at a hospital with a big ol' cast.

TaySwif isn't Master Bieber's only celeb pal these days. As fans know by now, he's a protégé of R&B crooner Usher, but he also says he's tight with Selena Gomez. "About a week ago, when me and Selena were in L.A., we went to this amusement park," Bieber said. "We went on roller coasters. I was more afraid than her."

Who would have thought the day would come that Selena could be considered a cougar? Or better yet, a cougarette.
