After routines that included plenty of perfect 10s, but a cloud of uncertainty hanging over all the couples after last week’s double elimination , few were feeling safe tonight. Who got the boot at the end of Tuesday’s Dancing With the Stars results show? One of the three DWTS: All-Star pairings pictured above is now OUT. Somewhat amazingly, they were also the bottom three scores Monday. Bristol Palin . Apolo Ohno. Kirstie Alley. Only two of them will move on. The Dancing With the Stars All-Star packing his/her bags is … Bristol Palin! This comes as a surprise, at least in part, considering how strong her fan support has been all season long and in her previous run to the finals. She also out-danced Kirstie Monday, but Alley’s fan base pulled her through. What do you think? Did America get it right with tonight’s DWTS ouster? Yes, it was her time. No, someone else!

We couldn’t make this fawkery up if we tried… Three White New York High School Students Reenact Chris Brown-Rihanna Beating In Blackface Via CNN iReport At the most resent Pep Rally for Waverly High School, located in Waverly NY, the usual fanfare of cheering for the home team to get them ready was in full swing. As the rally progressed you had your usual cheers and rally cries for the fall sports teams and the football team. It seemed to have done well, with Waverly defeating their opponent 70-21. But what happened at that pep rally went much farther than simple cheers. Three white students were to perform a skit in black face, depicting Chris Brown and Rhianna most notibly. In this skit they would display acts of domestic violence as satire to an audience that included not only students but parents, faculty, and various members of the media and community leaders. None of them stopped the skit. Now former students of Waverly High School are questioning how this was allowed to happen.” I think it’s unconscionable that such blatant racism has been tacitly approved two years in a row,” says Waverly alumni and Yale graduate Vlad Chituc. “The administration should be creating an environment where minorities are welcome, not the butts of racist jokes that make light of domestic violence.” Fellow former Waverly student Hannah Van Wie-Desisti shared sentiments with her former schoolmate: “I used to be so proud of where I came from. Not so much now due to the recent incident. I found it unfathomable that the faculty would not only approve this idea for the skit in the first place, but allow it to go on during the pep rally. I honestly don’t believe that the students meant to offend, but were just ill informed of how offending their skit actually was. The staff should have stopped it before it even started. By acting like the skit was acceptable, they are teaching their students that racism is okay and that abuse is humorous. The whole thing outraged me and made me so disappointed in the school that I was once loved.” The offensive nature of what took place is made even more concerning know that in order for a skit to take place at the rally it had to be OK’ed by the administration of the school. A comment from the school district was not available at this time. Anyone that saw Rihanna’s face after the fact knows that there is nothing to laugh at, and to reenact the skit in blackface is just the racist cherry on top. Guess even white folks can be ni**ers too SMMFH Images via CNN
Kim Kardashian Seen Holding Her Stomach While At Lunch With Sister Khloe Well…this would certainly explain why Yeezy’s big-bootied, wide-bodied boo-thang Kim was so quick to clear up the rumors that she was jealous of her ex-baller boo Reggie Bush recently confirming that he went half on a baby with his current girlfriend. Kimmy Cakes is still out in Miami filming season 2 of her reality show with her sister Kourtney and was spotted once again in this free-flowing, baggy get up while out at lunch with her other sister Khloe….except this time, she appears to be holding her stomach, you know, as women often do when they have a bun in the oven. As obsessed as Kim and her fashionisto boyfriend are with flaunting her figure, we find it hard to believe that this new look of hers isn’t just a decoy to hide what’s really going on….or growing inside. Peep the pics on the flip and see what you think..
Wow… Rugby Team Commemorates Anniversary Of Horrific Plane Crash That Forced Them Into Cannibalism An International Rugby team who survived a horrific plane crash years ago recently reunited on the anniversary of the crash to recount their disturbing story of 72-day survival without food. via News One Surviving members of an Uruguayan rugby team have played a match postponed four decades ago when their plane crashed in the Andes, stranding them for 72 days in the cordillera and forcing them to eat human flesh to stay alive. During the anniversary ceremony, military jets flew over the field, where parachutists draped in Chilean and Uruguayan flags landed. In a corner, survivors wept when officials unveiled a commemorative frame with pictures of those who died in the snowy peaks. “The conditions were more horrifying than you can ever imagine. To live at 4,000 meters without any food,” said survivor Eduardo Strauch, 65. “The only reason why we’re here alive today is because we had the goal of returning home … (Our loved ones) gave us life. They made the sacrifice for others.” The Uruguayan air force plane that carried the team crashed in a mountain pass in October 1972 while en route from Montevideo to Santiago. Of the 45 passengers aboard, 16 survived by feeding on dead family members and friends preserved in the snow. “I think the greatest sadness I felt in my life was when I had to eat a dead body,” said Roberto Canessa, 59, who was a teenage medical student at the time of the crash. “I would ask myself: Is it worth doing this? And it was because it was in order to live and preserve life, which is exactly what I would have liked for myself if it had been my body that lay on the floor,” he said. What an unimaginable situation to find yourself in. Do you think you could have done what they did to stay alive?? Image via Shutterstock
I’m Emily and I’m 14. On October 9th, 2012, I was blessed enough to get to meet my idol, my inspiration, Justin Bieber at the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Washington. Never in a million years I would think that I was going to be writing my own personal experience of meeting Justin himself. It’s incredible. It all feels like a dream! My friend, Hana (@lovinbieber36) (far left), bought me a ticket before the sales started because she has an account on www.bieberfever.com . I was incredibly grateful and excited for the show! We bought the tickets in I believe late May ‘12, and so we had to wait and wait for the best time of our lives. I have been a fan of Justin since he posted on YouTube, and had been to his My World Tour two years ago. I was so excited for these tickets, because Justin’s latest album, Believe, has helped me with my own personal struggles I’ve been having lately. In February, I had a house fire, and the pain was hard to bare. I was so scared and guilt felt, because my mentally disabled sister and I were the only ones home. Then Believe came out on June 19th of 2012. With a new album, it kept me distracted and excited for my concert. I felt so happy. “Be Alright” made me feel as though everything was going to be okay, and it has been okay. October finally came and my friend and I kept counting down. “9 more days!!!!” we’d tell each other. October 9th got closer and closer. I was getting more and more excited, because Justin definitely helped in my life. He made my rainy days sunny, and my cloudy days blue skies. On October 8th, my friend who got me the ticket sent me a text at 2:42pm. “I WON THE CONTEST TO MEET JUSTIN BIEBER!” At this point, I was confused. You won a contest? One day before the concert? To meet Justin? You’re kidding, you have to be. I questioned her, and she called me bawling. “I’ll send you the email and show you!” she told me. Soon enough, I got the email. It was true; she won a contest off of BieberFever.com and she won two meet & greet tickets for Justin. We were going to meet him. I hung up and called my mom in a flood of tears. “HANA JUST WON MEET AND GREET TICKETS FOR JUSTIN BIEBER, I GET TO MEET HIM!!!” When my mom came home from something for my sister, and my dad came home from work, I smiled as big as I possibly could and kept telling them I get to meet Justin. I made a shirt (as you can see, I’m on the far right) just for the 9th. The following morning came and I got up and ready for school. I was still so happy and excited, and of course I was hyperventilating, but it just didn’t seem real. Yeah, sure, I’m going to meet Justin Bieber. Suuuuuurrrreeee. To be honest, I thought it was all one big dream. Hana and I left school early just to wait in line for the meet & greets. When we got to the Tacoma Dome, we met up with two of our friends who also happened to win the same contest (Mondona on the left closest to Justin, and Abby on the right closest to Justin). We started walking into the Dome, and all the sudden we walk past a familiar face, Kenny Hamilton! I walked past him, yelled “Kennyyyyy!” and kept on walking. At that moment in time, I figured it out: this was not at all a dream! I was going to meet Justin! Us four waited in the meet and greet line for about an hour until people started meeting him. The rules were very strict, which made me extremely sad. “You’ll have about one minute to meet him and take a picture. No signs are allowed in and you cannot give him gifts.” It hurt me knowing that I wasn’t allowed to give him my two-page letter, but I’m just thankful I was getting to meet him. Hey, maybe he’ll see this and tweet me? Never say never, right? We were first in line, and mentally preparing ourselves to meet Justin. We saw Kenny opening up the curtain to let people in and I saw a sneak peak of Justin! It all seemed too crazy to be real. Finally, after waiting for hours, the curtain was opened and so were Justin’s arms. He smiled and said to us, “Hey guys!” very cheery. I hugged him and he smelled so good. Like honestly, Abby, Mondy, Hana and I were so excited over his delicious scent, as odd as that sounds. We got ready for the picture, and before we took the picture, he just started rubbing my back up and down, something I never expected, it made me get chills. I was so happy. We took the picture, and we started headed out. I left with a “Thank you so much, you have no idea HOW much this meant to me”. They closed the curtains, and the tears started falling. I actually had just met the real Justin Drew Bieber. All because Hana won a contest. I called my mom, and in between sobs I said “I just met him!” to which my mother replied, “You don’t sound too happy, you sound like he punched you in the stomach!” because I was crying so hard! It was really embarrassing, but worth it. I called my friend, Katie Sue and cried to her while she was at soccer practice. Then, after I calmed down a little, I called my best friend, Zoe, and told her how amazing I felt and how everything was. October 9th, 2012, was the most perfect night in the whole entire world. I wouldn’t have changed it for anything. It really made me think that anything IS possible, and Beliebers, you all will get the chance to meet Justin. Your time will come. I thought I never had a chance to meet him, but just don’t give up on that dream! -@Mimily615 Read more from the original source: I’m Emily and I’m 14. On October 9th, 2012, I was…
October 10 th 2012 has most definitely been the best day of my life. I went early and made friends with a ton of cool people. After a while of waiting by the tour buses, Kenny and Fredo came out smiling and waving, but went into the venue before anybody could talk to them. But luckily, Kenny came back. I somehow managed to get Kenny’s attention by calling out, “Hey Kenny” and he was like “Huh” and I’m like we have matching tattoos (we both have treble clef tattoos). He looked up and I showed him my wrist and he nodded in approval and said “nice” or “cool” or something along those lines. I also complimented his slippers haha. After some more talking he left to go take a shower, and at that point Scrappy and Allison came out and talked for a little. Once they were gone, my friends and I moved from the buses, to the loading area and saw Moshe. But then Tay came over on a Segway and distracted us all, he’s super nice! Then Dan came out! He was beyond sweet. I had talked to him on the phone while they were touring in Japan during the “My World hotline” and he remembered me as the “Vancouver girl.” We talked about Carly, and Vancouver and a few other things and he’s such a genuinely nice person I couldn’t believe he was standing in front of me having a REAL conversation with me. At this point, the friend who I was going to the concert with arrived and we went to get our wristbands…to meet Justin! Oh my…once I opened the curtain I was in awe. I didn’t realize he was right there so I was beyond shocked when I heard him say “Hey sweetheart! How are you” I literally blurted out “Holy shit you’re perfect” and he replied with “Thank you sweetheart come here” and so I went in for a hug and he smells amazing and he gives the best hugs. I was just holding on to him the entire time and didn’t wanna let go. It goes by so quick I couldn’t believe it was happening I just kept staring at him. The kid really likes to say “Sweetheart” though. I’m sure he said it about half a dozen times. For picture time, he had his arm around me and was actually holding on tightly and it was just the best feeling. He’s flawless. But that’s not it. As I was walking out of the Meet and Greet curtain, I saw Fredo! I said his name and pulled him out with me and hugged him and told him how much I love him and how amazing he is. I had gotten a customized hat for him and so I got to give him that. He loved it. He told me he was going to wear it on stage and that he was gonna rock it all night. Then we posed for a picture and he kept saying “one more” “one more” to my friend who was taking them. He’s honestly such an amazing guy. As I was about to leave he kissed my cheek and told me to have fun and to watch out for him. As if that wasn’t enough Fredo tweeted me saying it was nice meeting me. I freaked out cause I never gave him my Twitter. He asked my name as we were talking and I said “Pargol” but I didn’t think he even heard or understood cause I was rambling. Then a little later he tweeted me again! This time he sent me a picture of himself posing in the hat I gave him :’) Honestly made my night. Finally it was time for the show. It was my 5 th of 6 th time seeing Carly so no doubt I thought she was brilliant. But then Justin, wow the choreography was amazing, the singing was amazing, the entire production was beyond words. At one point he made eye contact with me and walked right over to me and grabbed my hand. I just about died right there. Oh and Fredo didn’t lie. He rocked my hat on stage ‘She Don’t Like The Lights.’ Overall my night was incredible. The crew is just so sweet and Justin is wow. I’m forever grateful. Up until the night before the show, I never thought anything like this was possible for me… but it happens. Never give up, and I promise you it will happen. I’ve been waiting for my opportunity since November 1 st 2009 when he first canceled a M&G in Vancouver and tried and tried every chance I got since then and I didn’t succeed until 3 years later. But it happened and it was worth the wait. – @PargolHamidi Read the original: October 10th 2012 has most definitely been the best day of my…
Wednesday 12th September my life completely changed in seconds. I found out Justin would be coming to the UK again and due to being on holiday at the time the tickets came on sale for the book signing I had no hope left what so ever but still wanted to travel down to London to even get a glimpse of my idol . M y 2 friends and I had a sleepover and was getting extremely excited about London, we were staring at all the Bieber posters thinking we could actually meet our Idol tomorrow and we had no idea whatsoever about it. The next day finally arrived. We woke at 5:30am and hurried to get dressed and then went to the train station. The day was turning out to be a total disaster, we missed our train and I had all sorts of visions in my mind rushing around like crazy, I felt so confused right now I didn’t even know what was going on.We were travelling all this way just to get glimpse of our idol and that might not even happen. London is such a big city and we had no idea what hotel he was staying at? where he was going to go? and also we had no tickets for the book signing? We got to London finding his hotel. We screamed the whole place down and ran as quick as we could to find our self outside the building Justin was in, he’s usually like thousands of miles away the other side of the world but this time he was meters away . We then waited patiently for around 2 hours. Then we met Dan Kanter who was lovely we definitely know this is Justin’s hotel now and we also gave Dan a present which was a UK guitar key ring, he thanked us and told us it was cool . Then suddenly OMG. I saw some hot guy with a sexy swag walk walking towards us. Who’s that jk lol and guess what? I realize that its Justin. My head was not on earth right now, it was on dream land, all feelings shot through me like electricity, I had a rush of excitement strike over me. Some girls run towards him. My heart was beating and my eyes were shooting out love hearts how amazing he looked. I ran towards him and he smiled at me, which made my heart melt like lava and then I went ”Can I have a hug please Justin?” and he sweetly spoke “As long as you get behind the barrier I’ll come and give you a hug.” Then everyone over crowded him and paparazzi’s surrounded him, he ran inside the hotel again, that was it I was shouting at the top of my voice “STAY CALM AND GET BEHIND THE BARRIER!!” It felt like deja vu he began to walk out the hotel once again coming towards us, my hands shaking trying to control my self, I get the camera ready to see that he looks up at me before getting a picture with a another fan, that’s it I’m going to pass out. His eyes staring into mine as he walked towards me, he put his hand onto my back and grabbed hold of it. He did the peace sign but I didn’t fit that onto the photo. I ran to the end of the barrier and stood there in complete shock, staring at Justin and taking every possible second in that I could and realizing the boy of my dreams is right in front of my eyes. Alfredo was in front of me and he asked if I wanted a picture whilst talking to him, he’s lovely and also we gave him Oreo’s as gift. Then as I looked up Justin ran to his car everyone touching him and going crazy as security pushed me over and getting tripped up in front of him was embarrassing lol. We ran for our life after him in his car he watched us through the blacked out window as I waved bye to him. We freaked out screaming the whole of London town down it was crazy, I cannot believe that Justin happened, I’ve just met my idol and the boy who made it possible.Then we found out the next destination Justin would be at and stormed there to BBC live lounge. We waited for hours and seen him get into the car and head off to the book signing. We then seen Kenny and I explained we didn’t have wristbands and he told us to meet him there. So we headed there and got in the first taxi we seen and got out to find hundreds of fans at this “secret location” we had no chance I began to think. I was very grateful to meet him hours before so I weren’t interested if I didn’t get in but I’d be extremely happy if we did and I might as well give it a shot. We then seen Justin’s car and all fans acted crazy, the whole place was bouncing, the building was shaking and everyone was chanting and singing Justin , a fan got pinned to the floor trying to run after his car, completely mental it felt as if I was apart of a movie!! We then seen Kenny, he whipped out some wristbands giving one to my friend Matthew (Boy Belieber) and I literally was to glued to Kenny’s stomach everyone went wild, Kenny was screaming at the security attacking him to come inside for his safety, next minute he gave one to my friend Ellie and then gave one to me I freaked out to realize someone took it out of my hand, that’s it I was hysterically crying all over the place, paparazzi’s surrounded me taking pictures of me, I couldn’t help my self, I was crying my eyes out to all my friends. I begged the security and she said there’s nothing she could do about it, it was Kenny’s choice not hers. I felt so much pain inside me that someone heartless would break my dreams like that. After begging the security man he then told me I could go into the venue with my friend as a guardian! OMG. WHAT THE HELL!? I ‘d be meeting Justin again twice in one day! We all were getting hyped talking about Justin after waiting a hour we got into the building where Justin was at and believe was blasting and all disco lights were flashing, it was amazing all Beliebers singing together as a family it was seriously adorable. It was now 7:29pm and Die in your arms came on to find that it was our turn to go and meet Justin. I began walking up the stairs and my legs acting like jelly. Behind the black curtain Justin was there and seconds later there he was perfectly smiling on the table. My heart beating extremely fast and my head spinning in all directions. I felt physically sick. Nerves whirling around down my spine and in my stomach. He stopped for a second and Justin’s eyes followed me upwards from the table and he looked up at me and his warm soft smile welcoming me. He spoke softly ”Hey!” my palms of my hands were so hot right now.”Hey Justin, I’m the girl who gave you the purple believe wristband in London last time and you wore it” His smile widened as his eyes sparkled at me. ”OH MY GOD REALLY?!” his face looked shocked ”Thank you so much, I remember you!?” I mumbled ”Justin thank you so much, it means a lot” I smiled so much at him I looked like a douche how much I was smiling. His eyes staring at me and he never went off me until I left the room, looking behind me seeing him one last time. Y’all have to believe in your self no matter how negative you feel because I’m telling you something I had no clue I was going to meet him, you’ve got to have the dedication and the determination to believe in your self. Justin is seriously the most flawless and unreal idol ever. Photos seriously don’t do him justice cause he’s so much impeccable in person. His eyes are unreal and his skin his delicate and everything about him is immaculate, unblemished basically he’s perfect. -Michka @LustinForJustin Here is the original post: Wednesday 12th September my life completely changed in seconds….
