Should Lindsay Lohan Do Hard Time in Jail?

Should Lindsay Lohan go to jail? We ask that question on a regular basis, we realize, but prosecutors are likely to push for it for real this time, with the star facing charges of lying to police . The L.A. City Attorney will reportedly ask the judge to throw the embattled actress in jail for violating terms of her probation in Lohan’s ncklace theft case . “Prosecutors and cops think there is more than enough evidence for the judge to find Lindsay in violation of her probation,” a source close to the situation said. “They are hopeful that this time, she will face the maximum penalty for lying to cops. Remember, the burden is much lower for a probation violation.” “Just the fact that Lindsay will be charged with a crime is enough.” As previously reported, Lohan rear ended a dump truck on Pacific Coast Highway last summer. She initially tried to claim her assistant was the one driving. Compounding matters? The tow truck driver Lindsay rear ended, James Johnson, will testify that her camp tried to pay him off immediately after the accident. Johnson has also told cops that Lindsay was “absolutely trying to leave the scene of the accident without exchanging information with him,” an insider says. “Prosecutors are extremely frustrated that Lindsay continues to act as if she is above the law and feel the system hasn’t punished her harshly enough.” We’ll see if that changes. Lindsay remains on probation, and under the terms of her probation, must obey all laws, which she obviously is incapable of doing. Will she pull a legal rabbit out of her hat again? Time will tell. What do you think: Should Lindsay Lohan do time?   Yes, that train wreck brat will never learn otherwise! No, quit trying to make an example out of her, haters! View Poll »

Gary Johnson: Obama Will Win Reelection

Libertarian Party presidential candidate Gary Johnson says he thinks President Barack Obama will defeat Mitt Romney to win a second term this evening. “I think Obama’s going to win, that’s what I think,” Johnson said. As for his own support, the former New Mexico Governor said: “[My vote is] really spread out … I don’t think there’s any state I’m going to do better in than another.” Johnson, who’s on the ballot in 48 states and D.C., hovers in the low single digits in the polls. Still, he says he has no regrets at how things played out. “There’s nothing,” Johnson said. “I would ask that everybody look at it and maybe recognize that this is phenomenal that we spent $2 million and may get 5 percent.” “Maybe it doesn’t turn out that way at all – but we spent $2 million bucks and here we are playing in a game that by all accounts we should not be playing in.” A CNN Ohio poll released Friday had President Obama, a Democrat, at 47 percent, Republican nominee Romney at 44 percent and Gary Johnson at 5 percent. It doesn’t make much of a difference which of the major-party candidates wins, Johnson said, citing a list of similarities he sees between Obama and Romney’s policies. Would you vote for a third-party candidate?   Yes, the two-party system sucks! Maybe someday, but I actually like Obama/Romney No! Way to throw your vote away!

Principal Found Guilty: Lyn Vijayendran Convicted of Not Reporting Sexual Abuse

A former principal was found guilty in San Jose of failing to report suspected sexual abuse by a teacher, according to reports. Lyn Vijayendran will not serve jail time, however. The defendant, 36, wiped away a tear as the clerk announced jurors found her guilty of a misdemeanor for not reporting possible child abuse by a teacher last year. As principal at O.B. Whaley Elementary School in San Jose, she is required by law to report suspected child abuse at her school, and a jury found that she did not. Santa Clara County Judge Deborah Ryan did not sentence Vijayendran to jail, instead giving her two years’ probation, $602 in fines and 100 hours of community service. Vijayendran could have been sentenced to up to six months in jail. “I agree with the jury’s verdict,” Ryan told a tearful Vijayendran. “You did what you thought was right, but I don’t think it was objectively reasonable at the time.” “I know it will have far-reaching consequences for your career. I do think you made a very bad judgment.” After Vijayendran’s sentencing, Santa Clara County Assistant District Attorney Alison Filo said Monday that the former principal simply did not meet her obligation as an educator. “We hope that mandatory reporters in our community understand their basic obligation to contact law enforcement every time they so much as suspect that a child has been harmed,” Filo said. “In the words of (Vijayendran), ‘I would have been crazy not to realize that this child was describing a sex act.’ Getting talked out of that reasonable suspicion just isn’t a defense.” So what happened, exactly? Vijayendran testified Thursday that teacher Craig Chandler appeared forthright when he told her an incident during which he allegedly blindfolded a second-grade girl. He then “put something in her mouth was part of a lesson plan about Helen Keller.” Vijayendran’s previous handwritten and typed notes say the second-grader told the principal in front of her mother that Chandler made her lie down on the classroom floor. At that point, he touched her feet with something that felt like a tongue and put something in the 8-year-old’s mouth that tasted like a salty liquid as she was blindfolded and alone with him. The notes also said Chandler wiggled her body and head back and forth and asked her earlier to open her legs. There is physical evidence to support this, as well. Chandler is facing charges of committing lewd and lascivious acts on five children. A crime lab allegedly found his semen on a classroom chair. He has pleaded not guilty and is scheduled to go to trial December 5. After Vijayendran was sentenced Monday, juror Susan LaGaffa said that the ex-principal “stuck her head in the sand rather than pull the alarm. I think she didn’t want this ugly thing to be true.” Continue reading about Vijayendran’s sentence at KTVU.

Happy 57th Birthday, Kris Jenner!

Say what you want about Kris Jenner – no, seriously, please say what you want about Kris Jenner! – but the savvy marketer of a mother turns 57 years old today. The woman who convinced Kim Kardashian to star in a sex tape and somehow talked Fox into hiring Khloe Kardashian for The X Factor is nothing if not persuasive. And perverse and attention-starved and shameless, some might say. And… where were we again? Oh, right. Kris is now 57! Send in your birthday wishes to the matriarch. Among other celebrities turning one year older on November 5: Kevin Jonas (25) , Bryan Adams (53) and Art Garfunkel (71).

Early Voting Results: Who’s Winning?

The 2012 presidential election is tomorrow, but plenty of states have early voting. At least 30 million people in 34 states have already cast ballots by mail or in person. That’s a huge percentage of the overall popular vote – about 120 million citizens cast ballots in 2008, when Barack Obama defeated John McCain. Four years ago, Obama’s good fortune was foreshadowed by a surge in Democrats voting early. He’s banking on the same enthusiasm in 2012. Will he get it? No votes will be counted until Tuesday, but some states are releasing the party affiliation of those who vote early – a pretty good barometer of who they picked. This doesn’t tell us who will show up tomorrow, of course, and these aren’t actual votes, but registered partisans tend to vote their party 90-plus percent of the time. Check out who’s voted early in various swing states thus far: Colorado                Votes: 1.6 million               Democrats: 35 percent               Republicans: 37 percent               Florida Votes: 4.3 million               Democrats: 43 percent               Republicans: 40 percent               Iowa                Votes: 614,000               Democrats: 43 percent               Republicans: 32 percent               Nevada                Votes: 702,000               Democrats: 44 percent               Republicans: 37 percent               North Carolina                Votes: 2.7 million               Democrats: 48 percent               Republicans: 32 percent               Ohio               Votes: 1.6 million               Democrats: 29 percent               Republicans: 23 percent

The Real Housewives of Atlanta – "Got Sexy Back"

The Real Housewives of Atlanta claim they “Got Sexy Back” but I’m not sure that goes for everyone.  We’ll recap who’s moving up, who’s moving out, and who can’t handle the crack in our THG +/- review. NeNe’s definitely riding a high.  She’s on the new sitcom The New Normal and considering a move to LA.  Plus 25 . It’s nice to see her happy for once.  The girl is dining with famous producers and laughing about Tyler Perry changing his number and not telling her while turning down caviar.  Life couldn’t get much better for Ms. NeNe. Or could it?  Gregg’s still hanging around and he wants back.  He wants a key to her house. He wants a second chance and he claims he’s willing to work for it.  Minus 10 . I’m not so sure. Fifteen years of history is nothing to sneeze at but maybe it’s time NeNe moved on.  I’d be shocked if they got back together and weren’t miserable once again a year later. NeNe’s not the only one looking happy.  Kandi and TV producer/boyfriend Todd are moving in together.  They bought a house…in cash and that’s nothing to look down your nose at these days.  Plus 22.   Kandi’s glowing as she’s considering marriage and expanding her family.  Then Kim comes to visit. Kim calls Kandi’s new neighborhood “the hood” and says she locks her car doors when she gets off the highway.  If that house is in the hood, I’m moving in.   Kandi got the house in foreclosure but it’s huge and basically two houses in one. An indoor swimming pool, jacuzzi and an enormous amount of space more than makes up for the decorating she’ll have to do.  Plus 15 . Of course Kim never met a dollar she could spend and only sees the downside of moving into to a home that isn’t 100% finished to her liking.  Well, she might want to become more flexible…quick. When Kim and Kroy turned down the asking price on the house they’re living in they’re told to move out at the end of the lease.  In two weeks!  Minus 12 .  Seriously these two are in way over their heads. There isn’t a thing packed and they don’t know where they’re going.  And the movers are quoting them $101,000 to pack, move, and store everything for 120 days.  Of course we are talking about a 17,000 square foot home. Kandi says she’ll come move her personally for $101,000.  Plus 20 .  I’ll come help and we can split it. Of course Kim is pregnant once again and KJ’s just turning a year old.  Kroy and Kim are like rabbits.  They work quick. I can’t believe Sweetie’s still around.  Kim fired her last season only to hire her back.  Minus 9. Kim must enjoy paying people to do nothing. Phaedra’s still working on her mortuary business and wants to expand into pet funerals.  She says she’ll deal with anything that can be buried.   But can someone get her to stop calling Ayden her little prince.  Minus 10 .  It’s just setting him up to be a spoiled brat before he’s two years old. Cyndi and Peter still bicker like they always have but this time ex Leon got in the mix. Of course it was about his daughter.   Cyndi pulled Noelle out of school because she wasn’t flourishing and looked unhappy.  She’s adamant that she knows her daughter and this is best…until Noelle walks in and says she never wanted to be home schooled.  So much for being the in touch parent. Minus 8 . The Bailey Agency is hosting a casting call for JET magazine’s beauty of the week and Cyndi invites new Housewife Kenya to be a judge. Kenya’s a former Miss USA and has modeled for JET.  Who would have thought this could end up as such a disaster? Everyone shows up in their teeny bikinis and Kenya’s offended.  She can’t stand to see anyone’s booty or coochie crack and won’t stop talking about it.  Minus 11 . Kenya seems to embrace her mean girl / diva role.  She even has her own security throw out one of Cyndi’s employees. And minus 8 because he shouldn’t have called her a b*tch…even if she was being one at the time. Looking at those SMOOTH magazine covers Kenya did, it looks like she had plenty of her own booty falling out of that swimsuit.   The lines are definitely drawn between these two Housewives divas.  Who do you think will win? Episode total =  +14!               Season total = +14!

Kristen Stewart Shares How ‘On The Road’ Helped Her Be Unabashedly Herself

Kristen Stewart has a big Grauman’s Chinese Theater Hollywood premiere this weekend and vampires are no factor. That didn’t stopping legions of teens to line Hollywood Blvd to catch a glimpse of Stewart (and who knows who else) who is starring along with Garrett Hedlund , Sam Riley , Kirsten Dunst , Amy Adams and Steve Buscemi in Walter Salles ‘ stunning On the Road , screening as a Centerpiece Gala at AFI Fest where it is having its U.S. premiere. In the film version of one of the most celebrated works of 20th Century American literature written by Jack Kerouac, Stewart plays the unconventional free-spirit Marylou, the former wife and still frequent lover of Dean Moriarty, a fast-talking charismatic with an insatiable libido. Dean and best friend Sal (Sam Riley), a young writer whose life is shaken after Dean’s arrival, take to the road. Marylou frequently accompanies Sal and Dean’s travels across the country in adventures fueled by sex, drugs and the pursuit of the ” It ” – a quest for understanding and personal fulfillment. Stewart spoke with ML during the Toronto International Film Festival where the film had its North American premiere. She shared thoughts on her character’s “hard love,” how she grew herself being a part of the film and how this was the “biggest experience” she’s felt on a set. So what was your road to On the Road ? I was 14 or 15 when I first met Walter Salles. I spoke to him when I was 17, I think I may have shot the first Twilight , I’m not sure – possibly I was about to go do it. At first I was talking about playing another part, so it’s been a long time coming. I don’t know how I was able to get around that kind of energy, but to convey that I loved this thing in the way [Walter Salles] does and as soon as you get around that energy it passes between you, nothing really needs to be said. I got the job on the spot, and I drove away just vibrating. I was like, ‘Are you kidding me?’ Plus I was very young, I wasn’t quite old enough for the part yet. When I read the book many years ago, I found it sprawling and didn’t seem to have elements that would make it translatable to the screen – at least I remember thinking that at the time. What did you think of the book when you first read it? I was reading it for school, so I had to read it. I did independent study when I was in high school. I remember, I took so long to read the book. All I had to do was read it and write a report, it wasn’t like I had to do an intensive study of the book, and it took me months and months – I was late. But, I think my teacher was OK with it because I think ultimately the paper was good. But, people say it’s different when you read it at different ages – but for me at the time, it was fun! At that age you start realizing you have a choice in who you surround yourself with. Up until that point, you’re just around circumstantially who you’re with – your family or whatever – but at that point you can start choose your family – and I’ve got a great family by the way – but I mean just the people you decide to surround yourself with. I don’t want to sound cliché, but people should pull something out of you that would otherwise remain unseen. And when I read the book I thought, ‘gosh I need to find people like that.’ I’m definitely not [my character, Marylou’s] type. As I continued reading it and got older, the weight of it started to mean more. I was totally enamored by the colors and the way he wrote it and jumped over words and how it read like a song. Then when I did the movie, to play a part like Marylou – she’s very vivid. She’s very colorful and interesting and on the periphery so you don’t know how and why she can do the things that she does. By the time it came to bring it to life, I didn’t want to play just a crazy, wild sexy girl. I wanted to apply all the whys and get to know the people behind the characters. There’s a weight to it. It’s not easy to live a life like that. That’s what makes these people kind of remarkable. It’s a give and take. There’s no way to have this without pain, but they’re not frivolous, they can feel it… Marylou’s a forward thinking progressive soul, but she’s also surrounded by this situation with her ongoing yet ever-changing situation with her ex-husband, Dean, who is still an emotional roller coaster, both for himself and her. Did you ever judge her in respect to why she’d tolerate him for so long? No, I never had done so. I always wondered how she could take it. How deep is that well? How much can you give and how much can you let be taken from you? What I found about her is that she’s very unique to her time, but nowadays she’d be something else. Her capacity to see everyone’s flaws and appreciate them is really unbelievable. Any interview we did with anyone who was involved with them [before doing the movie] always said the same thing – that she was such a wonderful woman. She’s infectiously amazing. So, no I didn’t judge her. So then, how would you describe the relationship between your character, Marylou and Dean? They really are simpatico. It’s tumultuous. It’s hard to love like that. But they’re so in love with each other. You don’t know this from reading the book, but they stayed lovers until the end of his life. He kind of raised her and she always had a place in his heart, though I think the capacity was so enormous that there were also others in that heart, but she was at the center. And the same goes the other way around. I think they helped each other grow up and they raised each other. How do you hope your Twilight fans will approach seeing this movie? Undoubtedly some will be curious to see you doing something outside of Bella and this may be for many their first chance. How do you hope they’ll approach seeing this film? Well, I mean you just walk into a theater [laughs]… I think if I can have anything to do with just one person that would not have otherwise read On The Road , then that would be incredible and I’m very happy to be a part of that. I think that if you have any inclination of seeing this being a Twilight fan, I have to say I don’t have much control over the things that I choose because I do need to feel compelled to do the roles that I do. I very rarely tactfully think about my career and how people are going to perceive it and I think that’s what people appreciate and if that’s not the case, then it’s kind of like – um, that’s not going to go away. It’s a false thing. I think people will really like it and if you didn’t like the book, then don’t watch the movie. You know what I mean? However anyone wants to interpret it is all good with me. People describe On the Road as a “watershed moment” in American culture in that it upended the strict conservative culture that prevailed in the 1950s in the U.S. So from your perspective as a 20-something, how do you see it as relevant culturally today? I think this is a good time to see this story visually because most people can watch it and not be shocked by it as they might have before. Back then, it would have been so shocking to see people doing drugs and having sex that they wouldn’t have seen the spirit behind it – the message behind it would have been [diluted]. Though, maybe it would have been good because it would have forced people to look. But maybe they weren’t able to yet. There’s always going to be conflicting intuitions that might not even go together, but these are people who have the strength to be OK with people disagreeing. At that stage of your life, there’s so much ahead of you – at least it feels that way. The reach is so important even if something is unbeknownst to you, but you feel compelled to find out what it is… Don’t ignore it! At that age, it’s important to have a faith in feelings you can’t articulate because at some point you need to hold onto them. And these guys found a word for that, it’s the ” It ” and I don’t think that’s ever going to go away. So what is that ” It “? How would you describe the It ? [Laughs] Trust me, we’ve talked about that so much… It’s the pearl . It’s that thing that makes your life bounce. I think if we knew it… I honestly think it’s an individual thing, but if something is funny to you and you’re alone you can smirk at it or whatever, but suddenly if you’re with a lot of people that also find it funny, you can be hysterically laughing. There’s something about life that you can’t completely describe. It also goes along with not ignoring that burn and going, ‘OK, I’m content right now to be smart and conservative and hold onto what I’ve got.’ I just think it’s important to keep going for it. How has your experience playing Marylou or in On the Road generally influenced your life professionally or personally? You said you’ve been a part of this project for a long time, so you’ve had quite a turn at experiencing this culture even as you took on other roles including, of course, Twilight . It was the most time I’ve ever spent feeling. Twilight was a good five years and was a very indulgent creative experience. [Most projects] are usually only about five weeks, three months or six months tops. But because I was attached to On the Road so long, the build up and pressure inside by the time we go there was just bigger than anything I’ve ever felt on a set. We had four weeks of proving that we were so thankful and happy to be there because we’re all fans of the book, but we had put in the work and we knew the purpose and the weight of it and how so important it is to so many people. It’s all to Walter [Salles’] credit, but if anything, what this has taught me is that if you stop thinking and just breathe through it, you’re such a better actor. You just have to put in the initial work and then not become too analytical because you have to trust that you’ve already done it all. So it’s opened me up in a way that’s appropriate to my age. I’m just a bit less inhibited. Just being able to not think so much before you speak is good. It has helped me in that way. It’s not being less shameful, it’s just being so much more unabashedly myself. I think that all started when I was 15. I can be around people and say what I think and have a conversation with a stranger and it’s all good.

Twitter Files: 50 Cent And Floyd Mayweather Slander Each Other In Heated E-Beef!

With friends like this who needs enemies? 50 Cent And Floyd Mayweather Jr. Beef On Twitter Earlier this week, 50 Cent took to Twitter to make it known that he was no longer down with “The Money Team” and more specifically, Floyd Mayweather Jr. At the time, we didn’t hear any response from Floyd, that changed last night. We all know that both Floyd and Fif can be some of the most ignorant ninjas walkin’ the Earth, and their Twitter beef is nothing short of the standard of fawkery that they have set so high. It was so out of pocket, we have to wonder is this all a publicity stunt (because you KNOW how Curtis does…) Hit the flipper to read the demise of a friendship over a social network SMH.

Earl Sweatshirt Lets Us Into His ‘Psyche’ On ‘Chum’

Saturday, October 20th, 2012. My friend Mary, my Dad, and I…

Saturday, October 20th, 2012. My friend Mary, my Dad, and I (Courteney) all drove down to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, for the concert that would take place on Sunday, the following day. After we arrived at our hotel and got situated, there wasn’t much to do so I pulled out my laptop. At that moment I remembered that Mary and I had entered a contest through the BieberFever fan club only a few days prior, and that the winners were supposed to receive an e-mail within 24 hours before the concert. I quickly opened my inbox and froze. In my inbox sat a reply e-mail from the BieberFever fan club. My stomach dropped. I clicked on the e-mail and it read: “Congratulations, Courteney! You’re officially invited to attend the photo meet and greet TOMORROW NIGHT October 21st in Milwaukee!” I immediately went hysterical. Barely able to talk, with all the breath I had left, I screamed to Mary. “Mary! Mary! Mary! We won! We won!” “What?!?!” She panicked. She quickly darted over to the computer and read the e-mail. We both went into complete shock, dropped to the ground, and started bawling our eyes out. We couldn’t believe what we were reading. It felt like I was literally in a dream. After supporting Justin for almost four years, my dream was finally going to come true. After seeing pictures upon pictures and videos upon videos of fans meeting Justin, tomorrow night, October 21st, 2012, was finally going to be my opportunity to meet my idol.  Sunday, October 21st, 2012. Today was the day that my life was going to change forever. I set my alarm for 5:30am so we could arrive to the venue early and see if anything would happen. Apparently we slept through the alarm, because I woke up and checked the time, and it was 9:30am. Mary and I jumped out of bed and started getting ready. After we were all ready to go, we went to the BMO Bradley Center, the venue where Justin would be playing. There was already a bunch of girls lined up at the gates waiting for something exciting to happen. After standing there in the cold for a few minutes, across the gate, I saw a hand wave. It was Laney (@BlazingBiebzz) and Elyse (@Fever4Biebs), the girls I had purchased tickets for to see the show that night. I ran over to them and we greeted each other. After finding out that they’d been there for quite some time already and that Justin had arrived earlier, across the distance I heard someone yell “Courteney!” I looked over and noticed that it was Brooke, (@WISimpsonizer). I waved back and after a while Mary and I went back to the other side of the gates and greeted them. We were both extremely excited because she too was meeting Justin that night with another owner on her Twitter account, Kelsey. On and off cars would enter through the gates, leave the gates, some of Justin’s dancers would enter through the gates, leave the gates. At one point, Nick DeMoura went around and took pictures with some fans. I was lucky enough to get a picture with him! Michael Vargas also did the same, and I got a picture with him as well! A little while later, Kenny rode around on a segway greeting fans. We checked our phones and noticed that it was almost 4:00pm, the time we were supposed to be lined up for the meet and greet. I was extremely anxious, nervous, excited, and just all around in complete awe! It was hard for me to take in that in a few short minutes, my dream was finally going to become a reality. Every minute the line inched its way further and closer to the doors that we would soon enter to meet Justin. Eventually, it came the time where we were next in line to go into the meet and greet room. A security guard attempted to get everyone into groups of six, which we definitely did not want to be in, because of course we all wanted to be close to Justin. We were lucky enough to get to go in as a group of four, with Mary, Brooke, Kelsey, and myself. I was happy that I got to go in with people that I knew at least. The security guard directed us to the doors and I swear to God I thought my knees were going to buckle. Directly inside the doors was a black curtain. Right next to the black curtain stood Kenny Hamilton and another guy collecting gifts and letters from fans to Justin. Earlier that day, while we were waiting out at the gates, I had written a letter to Justin that I wanted to give to him when I would meet him. Praying to God that the letter I had written to Justin would get to him safely , I handed it to the guy collecting all of the fan stuff, and asked him if he would make sure it got to Justin. He responded something like “Yes I will. I’ve been doing this for three years.” That made me feel a little better. Just as we were being escorted in through the curtain, I greeted Kenny . At that moment, my nerves took over and from then on out, I can only remember bits and pieces of what happened. Behind the curtain stood someone that I had looked up to for so many years, someone who inspires me every day to not give up, to chase my dreams, and to believe. Behind that curtain stood my idol. Behind that curtain stood Justin Bieber. My heart sped up to about a thousand miles per hour. My stomach dropped. Yet the biggest smile arose on my face. We walked over to Justin and all I remember saying was something like, “Hi Justin, nice to meet you!” I don’t even remember if I said my name. Then we took our picture. I was so worried that the picture wasn’t going to turn out well, because I don’t even remember looking at the camera. After the picture was taken, I looked back at Justin and said, “Thank you so much Justin.” Don’t quote me on this, but I’m almost positive he said something like, “Of course sweetie.” I also remember him thanking us a bunch of times. I saw one of the girls in my group ask for a hug from Justin, so I decided to also. After I hugged Justin, I thanked him again and yelled, “Good luck!” As I was walking away, I turned back for one last glance. After we all exited the curtains and made our way out, I basically broke down. The last thing I wanted to do was embarrass my self in front of Justin by crying, so I’m glad I at least kept myself together until we exited the meet and greet. I turned around to see Brooke and Kelsey talking to Alfredo. We cried and freaked out for a good fifteen minutes after that. I just couldn’t believe that I had finally gotten the opportunity to meet my inspiration. It all happened so quickly. Even though I barely got to talk to Justin and he definitely doesn’t know my name or would ever be able to recognize my face, I still feel extremely gratefully and blessed that I got the opportunity. Even though the meet and greet was over, the concert had yet to begin. We were thrilled when we got to our seats for the concert! We were sitting in section one, row SSS. There was a catwalk at the concert and our row was the last row of section one, and was directly in line with the end of the catwalk. Only section one was allowed to go up to the catwalk and stand next to it throughout the concert. They were the best seats I’ve ever had at a concert because of the catwalk. I got to touch Carly Rae Jepsen’s hand, a dancer’s hand, and had the experience to see Justin right in front of my face for a majority of the concert. I also got to touch Justin’s hand! Justin’s performance was absolutely incredible. October 21st, 2012 was my fifth Justin Bieber concert and the best at that. After the concert, we lined up by the gates again in hopes that Justin or any of the crew would come out to greet us. Unfortunately they didn’t, but we did get to see Moshe and Kenny from a distance, as well as a bunch of the other members of the crew, so that was awesome . As all of the tour buses exited through the gates and everyone started to leave the venue, I was devastated that my experience was over, but extremely happy and grateful that I got the opportunity. I know there are hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions of people out there who don’t even have the opportunity to see Justin live, so for what I’ve been given, I feel extremely blessed, fortunate, and am so grateful for. From here on out, I am going to do my best to help Beliebers all over make there dreams a reality. And if any of you reading this are in that position, I want you to know that you cannot give up. You have to stay strong, keep your head up, believe, and continue to fight for your dreams.  Because one day, if you want something bad enough, it will become a reality. I never knew my dream could possibly come true would until now. In fact, I never honestly understood the true meaning of ‘Believe’ until now. I feel like this experience has not only made me happier, but has changed me as a person as well. I’ve finally realized that dreams do come true. So a huge “thank you” to Justin for everything he’s done and continues to do for us Beliebers. It’s incredible. This is my best Justin Bieber experience, and I hope you enjoyed reading it! -@BieberOperation (Courteney) Read the rest here: Saturday, October 20th, 2012. My friend Mary, my Dad, and I…
