Never say never.
Teen music idol Justin Bieber yesterday said he plans to meet the New Jersey teen who lost her dad on 9/11 and asked President Obama last week at Ground Zero to introduce the two.
The president met 14-year-old Payton Wall at a ceremony for families who lost loved ones in the terror attack and told the girl that he “knows Justin” and would help arrange the get-together.
“Pretty sure President @BarackObama will keep this promise,” the 17-year-old superstar posted on Twitter.
He was writing in response to a posting on New York magazine’s Web site that told Payton not to get her hopes up.
“Doesn’t [Obama] know the p.r. machine around Justin Bieber is more impenetrable than Donald Trump’s ego?” the story said.
But Bieber shot back, saying, “I think you’re wrong.”
It wasn’t immediately clear if a meeting had been arranged.
A few months ago, Payton, whose dad, Glen, was an executive at Cantor Fitzgerald when the Twin Towers were destroyed on 9/11, sent Bieber a message.
She said she was inspired after she and a pal saw his documentary, “Never Say Never.”
“Hey! I have an awful life story and without your music I don’t know if I could have survived,” Payton wrote on Feb. 19. “Do you think I could send you a letter?”
But after not hearing back, she wrote a 1,500-word missive to Obama.
The president read it the day after Navy SEALs killed Osama bin Laden, and he invited Payton, her mom and sister to Ground Zero.
Payton cautioned that she didn’t just send the letter to Obama in order to meet her idol.
“I did it to honor my father,” she said.
