Olympic Star Missy Franklin Receives Care Package From Justin Bieber

Olympic Star Missy Franklin Receives Care Package From Justin Bieber

Ms. Missy Franklin, the 17-year-old swimming phenomenon, who has just received four gold Olympic medals in London this year, got an additional bonus of fortunate event.  She received a care package from the singing superstar Justin Bieber.

Franklin, who admitted that her favorite artist is Bieber, was very elated with the surprise gift from the superstar. "He sent me a huge care package, which was so awesome," she enthused. "I walk home and my mom is so cute. She took everything out and set it out on the table, and I had T-shirts and CDs and posters and all that stuff."

The Colorado high school senior says she's looking forward to Bieber's Denver tour stop in January. "My friend actually bought me tickets for my birthday, so we're going to go, and I think we might be able to get backstage passes hopefully," she noted.

This isn't the first time Bieber's sent gifts to Ms. Franklin. After she won her first gold medal late last month, the singer called her out in a tweet. "Heard @FranklinMissy is a fan of mine," he wrote. "now im a fan of hers too. CONGRATS on winning GOLD! #muchlove." To which Franklin replied: "I just died! Thank you!"

Another thing that both Franklin and Bieber share besides the mutual admiration of each other is that they both seem to like tattoos. Franklin revealed that she just inked Olympic rings on her hip last week, while Bieber recently tattooed the name of his latest album, Believe, on his arm to commemorate its June release.
