@MyMariaMore’s Midday Motivation: Fear Is The Enemy Of Success
Newsweek, which raised more than a few eyebrows this year for its covers proclaiming President Obama the first gay president and for calling his critics dumb, is out with yet another controversial political cover story. This time, they call Mitt Romney a “wimp” in no uncertain terms. “Romney is the genuine article: a true wimp,” Michael Tomasky argues in his cover story, adding that “In some respects, he’s more weenie than wimp.” “Socially inept; often awkwardly ingratiating, at times mocking those ‘below’ him, but almost always getting the situation a little wrong, and never in a sympathetic way.” Romney said the story didn’t bother him though, telling CBS News that “They tried that on George Herbert Walker Bush; he was a pretty great President.” Mitt’s right, as seen in the 1987 issue pictured below (along with a couple of awesome spoofs we saw on the Romney issue for good measure). Calling Romney a wimp is probably a little much, but the cover and story underscore what a lot of his critics say makes him a weak candidate. Namely, that he’s a paper-pushing corporate technocrat devoid of personality and unable to relate to regular people, and who has no core beliefs. His supporters will vocally dispute this and laud his achievements and positive traits, of course … while others may accept it and vote for him anyway. What do you think: Is Mitt Romney a wimp?

Along with being super hot Selena Gomez looks like the type of chick that you could hang out with and have a good time rather than just spending all your time in the bedroom fucking. Not that you will ever get a chance to do that of course. Continue reading

I live in New Zealand and I have loved Justin for while now. When I heard he was coming here, I thought I’d just be able to SEE him let alone MEET him. I have 3 belieber friends: Christie, Liv and Caitlin. We were so dedicated. When Justin announced his North American tour, we even tried to get tickets to see him in concert. I had saved up money for flights and tickets and we woke up at 4:45am our time to buy tickets but we had no luck. We were sad, but when he announced he’d be coming here on his promo tour we flipped out and promised we’d work hard to try see him. I entered about 5 competitions to try and get tickets to his concert but I had no luck. Justin arrived on Wednesday the 18 th July late at night so we went to his hotel the next day and waited outside his hotel for 7 hours from 8am to 3pm and we were so disappointed when we didn’t see him. We were a bit shaken, but we were determined to see him the next day! My amazing friends on twitter had started a #BiebsMeetIndia campaign and I am beyond thankful for them especially @DazzlingJustin who helped get in contact with Scooter and Kenny for me. I can’t even begin to express how grateful I am! On Friday 20 th July, I went into town to wait by his hotel again. I met some amazing beliebers on the way. At around 1pm I checked twitter to find a DM from Kenny Hamilton asking my name and number so I gave it to him and a got a call a few minutes later from a NZ representative working in the hotel. He said I’d have to wait til 3:15pm to meet Justin and I was freaking the eff out by this point! We went around to the front entrance of the hotel at 3:00pm and got rejected by the person outside but the NZ representative called me and said he’d come and get me when Justin was done with interviews. I waited for another hour and he called me and asked what I was wearing and he came out to get me! I was taken into this waiting room and I could hear Justin talking and I could see Allison. I met Kenny and he was so cute and he asked if I was going to faint but I reassured him I wouldn’t! I waited for Justin to finish the current interview and I then went inside to meet him. When I first saw him, it was unbelievable. He is perfect and FLAWLESS. His skin is amazing and his hair and clothes are incredible. He was so nice to me and he looked me in the eyes when we spoke. I hugged him like 4 times and he noticed I was wearing Someday and said I smelled good! Allison talked about #BiebsMeetIndia and they said at first they thought it meant the whole country! She took a picture on Justins phone and then some on mine and Allison said she liked my phone case. Justin showed me his, and he was like, “Look! It looks like a car, but it’s really a transformer!” He was so funny and cute. I was about to leave when Allison said I could sit and watch the interview if I wanted to so I did. He is really well spoken and is completely passionate about what he does. After that interview I went to leave again and Allison asked if I wanted to watch another interview, omg I was SO happy! I watched that and then Justin sat outside to sign posters and Allison asked if I had stuff for him to sign. I took my friends dvd’s and cd’s to sign although I was hesitant to get him to sign stuff at first because I didn’t want to keep him from his flight. But he kept saying, “Of course, of course I’ll sign your cds!” He was just so patient and lovely. I gave him New Zealand lollies and Tim Tams and as we were leaving, he hugged me one last time really tight and said, “Don’t stop supporting!” I said I would never and then sort of walked out in a daze. I went outside to find my friends crying and then I heard screaming and he came outside to meet the fans and my friends saw him so I was happy about that! But I am beyond grateful for everything that happened and all my friends on Twitter that helped me achieve this! Kenny has DM’d me twice after this, “Glad I could make your dream come true” and “No problem! Sorry I had to run, but I’m so glad I met you and I’m very happy for you.” This has been the best day of my LIFE and I’m so happy I never gave up.

Excerpt from:
I’d given up all hope of meeting Justin Bieber. After school on Tuesday 17 th of July I was even texted my friend telling her we should get together on Thursday and cry because we weren’t seeing our idol. 5 minutes later she got the call. The call that changed our lives. She called me up soon after and broke the news that she had just won double passes to Justin Bieber’s private concert in Auckland on Thursday 19 th of July. I could hardly believe it. My mum quickly got flights sorted to fly out on Wednesday night. The next day I was buzzing about going to see my idol in concert to everyone at school. After school, my friend called me up and told me Justin’s flight would be landing 20 minutes after ours. We knew we wouldn’t see him but we wanted to see his crew. 40 or so minutes later she calls me up for a second time telling me Skinny Mobile had just called her again and she had just won Meet and Greet tickets. I was in the middle of the street at the time and everyone was looking at me funny, but what did I care in 24 hours I was going to meet my idol, the boy that changed my life. That night we flew out to Auckland from Wellington. We got in early so we had enough time to get to the international airport. There weren’t many people there when we got there, but Guy from Jono and Ben at Ten was there and I was in the background of their show. We didn’t end up seeing Justin or any of his crew, and went home at 12:30am. The next day we got up early and took the train into the city. We walked up a really steep hill to get to Justin’s hotel. There were a bunch of Beliebers outside the back chanting for Justin to come down. My friend and I stayed for a couple of hours before we decided to leave because nothing was happening. We went to the Skinny meeting place and got ready to head down to the venue. We all walked down Queens Street shouting chants about Bieber. We got to the Cloud (where Justin played in a small room out the back). We waited ages until we got let through the gates. Then we waited even longer to see Justin. Justin before 4:30pm we got let inside the cloud as the rest of the fans went down the side to another door. Me and the 12 others who were at the meet and greet, including two guys were shaking. We saw Moche (Justin’s bodyguard, otherwise known as White Kenny) and he waved to us. Then as we were waiting for to see Justin, we saw Justin’s other body guard Kenny and gave him a hug. Kenny then led us into the meet and greet room. We went in as 4’s to see Justin and my group was the last (@kristieluvzjb (me) @Dare2Dream14 (My friend) @ThatJustinKidd and @BieberAdventure (Other two girls with us). All four of us walked in, stunted. Justin had his arms out for a hug so I was the first to move in and gave him a tight hug around his waist. The other girls then gave him a hug while I was still half on him. He then turned us around for a photo. That’s me on the left right next to him. My ring then got caught in my friend’s hair, who was on the opposite side of Justin. I swore in front of Justin, but not like he cared he just simply replied “It’s all good” and rubbed my back and gave me another hug. We all said “I love you” and “Thank You” and he told us he loved us too. We then walked out and went up the stairs. Breaking out into tears of complete joy, that we had just met our idol. We got to stand at the front for Justin’s concert as the others hadn’t been let in yet. Then everyone came in and I thought I was going to die! There was so much pushing. Justin came out and we had immediate eye contact for a while. I didn’t know what else to do but to stare at him. He started the concert and sung Take You (which was a live debut), ALAYLM, Fall, Thought Of You (also live debut), Die In Your Arms, Catching Feelings, Baby, AATW, OLLG and Boyfriend (Bluesy version). During Baby he touched my hand. The OLLG (One Less Lonely Girl) was standing right next to me and my friend, (@ibieber_heart). Also during OLLG Justin touched my hand and looked me in the eyes. Justin left the stage and Dan (Justin’s gutairst) came over to where I was standing and gave his guitar pick to the girl next to me, but I touched his hand. The show finished and I was actually hyperventilating! It was a dream come true! The next day we went to Justin’s hotel again. We had luck with seeing him as just before he heading to the airport he stopped outside his hotel to greet his fans . They told us that if it got too dangerous they would send him back in, which they did. Justin was only out for 2 minutes before he got mobbed and sent back inside. But it was an amazing two days. Thank you so much to Skinny Mobile, Justin Bieber and my best friend Tikka, for giving me the opportunity to live my dream. Don’t let ANYONE tell you otherwise. You can live your dream. NEVER SAY NEVER and BELIEVE. -Kristina Follow this link: I’d given up all hope of meeting Justin Bieber. After school on…

My name is Hayley (19) and I met Justin on the 19th of June in New Zealand . My friends woke up early in the morning and made our way to his hotel at 8am. There was about 50 girls already there even though it was a school day. As we waited, sang and chanted, more and more girls, media and paparazzi began to show up. It had been hours yet Justin hadn’t even at least waved from his hotel window. We kept chanting until our throats were sore. At about 3pm a dark van parked putside the entrance and soon a big police van showed up too. Security starting pushing everyone behind the barriers. He was coming out soon they said! Everyone was pushing each other to get to the front of the barriers, and we were all so anxious and excited. People began jumping the barriers and everyone was crowding around the van, while security tried to move everyone back. No one would budge. It seemed the hotel didn’t have enough security to handle the huge crowd of 250+ people. The van started to leave so a group of 20 of us chased after it thinking it must be picking up Justin at the back entrance now. As it pulled up I saw Allison, Dan and Scrappy get into the van. I said Hi and they chatted with us for a little bit. Then the van left. Apparently Justin had snuck out a side entrance with Selena. I felt so disappointed, I could cry. All I wanted was to see him, just once. Me and my friends made our way to Starship Hospital because we’d heard he was visiting sick children there. We didn’t know if it was true but took a chance. We saw a big van, the same as the one earlier parked around the back, and we were sure it was his. Some other girls we met said him and Selena had just went in. I couldn’t believe it. I was screaming/crying/dying on the inside. There was a small group of 20 fans when Justin finally came out, Selena in hand. I saw Alfredo, Moshe and Kenny too! Everyone stayed calm and called out to them. We didn’t wanna scream and cry, we tried to stay very calm so he would come over. He did even though he was late for his concert! He was so nice, and took photos with as many people as he could. He took my camera and took a photo of us. HE TOUCHED MY CAMERA! I held his hand for a good minute before he left too, and told him I loved him. My friend Chris was also lucky enough to get a photo with him . No words can describe how I felt after that. It still feels like a dream. I never EVER thought I’d meet Justin but Never say Never! My dreams came true. Thank you Justin.

My name is Ashleigh and at around 5pm on the 18th of July 2012 I met the perfect Justin Bieber after 4 years of ever lasting support, adoring and loving this boy. I finally got the experience I needed. When Justin came here to Australia recently, I have been non stop trying to meet him. I needed to see him after not winning tickets to anything that involved him and all the trying to meet him when he came in 2010 and 2011 I had no luck. I thought I was so unlucky but not anymore. I went to the airport Monday night, waited 10 hours outside his hotel on Tuesday. Still no luck. But something in me said to try one more time so I did . Wednesday before he was gonna leave, this was my last shot. I was determined. My best friend, my sister and I came early in the morning to Sydney’s Airport and saw other Beliebers there too. We stuck together and looked around to where he could possibly come out from. This paparazzi came up to us and told us full details about Justin’s flight. His flight was gonna come at 6:40pm to leave for NZ so we left and came back. At around 5pm, we saw a black car drive in front of us and it had Moshe in the front seat. No doubt in my mind, that Justin was in that car. I got up to see and all you see is white supras, leather black pants with the matching jacket, the gold chain, white v-neck shirt, sunglasses and a red hat, a tall boy stepping out of the car. It was Justin Bieber. He came walking towards us, there were around 30 of us at this time. Everyone crowed around him and he was taking photos and signing thing. I was right behind him, I grabbed his upper arm and squeezed it a little and called out softly, “Justin.” He flexed his arm tight, turned around right infront of me, I couldn’t believe my eyes. He said “Hi” and smiled, I said “Can I have a hug Justin?” he replied “Of course.” I hugged him from the neck and he hugged me tight and squeezed me before letting me go. I let go and touched his cheek and he just smiled at me. I was right next to him ready to take a photo, but he was talking to another fan on his left. Then he looked at me, put his arm around me, put his cheek against mine, as I was shaking he held my hand for a second and let go and I took the photo. He said “Thank you” and smiled, I replied “I love you so much Justin” and he put down his glasses so I could see his eyes and he looked right into my eyes and said “I love you too” and he smiled and I backed away for the other beliebers to get photos. I ran over to Selena who was with my sister (my sister tagged along to see Selena because she is a massive fan) I took a photo with her and she called me beautiful , she was such an amazing person. Everything on top of that just adding in my perfect experience. At the point, I was just so shocked. I couldn’t believe I actually got the experience I wanted, to have a hug from Justin, a perfect photo with him and to hear him say “I love you too” was everything to me. I fell on the floor and started crying, of happy tears of course. He is the most amazing, down to earth, humble and perfect human being I have ever met in my whole life. Meeting Justin was the best thing that could happen in my life. I love Justin so much and very thankful that he came out and took the time to sign for us when he needed to take a flight. I will be forever thankful and blessed for this. All the effort and hard work finally payed off. I didn’t give up, I stayed by Justin’s famous words and it got me to where I am today. This is My Bieber Experience. -@imbiebergirl Continued here: My name is Ashleigh and at around 5pm on the 18th of July…

The Jackson family feud has simmered down somewhat, but relations are still icy as four of Michael’s siblings are now banned from their mom’s house. Michael Jackson’s kids Prince, Blanket and Paris Jackson – subjects of a bizarre custody feud – are currently staying at Katherine Jackson’s L.A. home. The kids’ cousin and temporary guardian, T.J. Jackson, has been advised by lawyers for the Michael Jackson estate on who should not be allowed in . As such, Jermaine, Randy, Rebbie and Janet Jackson have been 86’d. T.J.’s lawyer Charles Shultz says he’s instructed the security team accordingly and his actions are “in compliance” with a judge’s orders, not arbitrary. Those on the not-allowed list were either present on July 23 “or in some way participated in the events surrounding that date,” Shultz stated. It was then that Jermaine, Randy and Janet Jackson arrived at Katherine’s home and allegedly tried to physically remove Prince, Paris and Blanket. Randy, Jermaine, Janet and sister Rebbie Jackson have been accused by some of being motivated by money to separate Katherine from the kids. Michael’s will, which left his estate to his children and provided an ample allowance to their guardian (Katherine), obviously stands in their way. Since Michael’s death in 2009, Katherine Jackson had been receiving a monthly allowance of $86,000 as guardian of Prince, Paris and Blanket. For the time being, that sum goes to T.J. Jackson. While the four siblings behind the failed family coup aren’t allowed at the house, Shultz said they aren’t forbidden from contact with their mother: “In addition, Mrs. Jackson is completely free to talk to whomever she chooses and is free to come and go with anyone whom she chooses.” Katherine Jackson was reported missing July 22, triggering the latest chapter of this bizarre saga. Her whereabouts at that time are still unclear. Just prior to that, five of Katherine’s kids sent a letter alleging their mother is being mistreated by the executors of Michael Jackson’s estate. This triggered rumors that they even staged her kidnapping, but separating truth from fiction in this particular story is a difficult task indeed. In any case, Friday, Katherine’s attorney, Perry Sanders, told the Los Angeles Times that the 82-year-old had reunited with her grandchildren. He said of her splitting custody with T.J.: “[Katherine] is eager to enjoy her great relationship with these children, while deeding over some of the stressors that go with being a guardian.” While Katherine was initially “devastated’ to lose guardianship, a family insider tells E! that T.J.’s temporary guardianship “is good news.” “It is not about taking [guardianship] from Katherine. They are trying to protect the kids from the other family. T.J. didn’t step in to remove her.” “He stepped in because she is not there,” the source adds of the 34-year-old son of Tito Jackson. “He is extremely tight with his grandmother.” While La Toya Jackson urged the family yesterday to come to a truce and put this behind them, don’t expect the bad blood to end soon.

By the power of Grayskull, get ready for this: The Masters of the Universe reboot is back on the docket, with news that Jon M. Chu ( Step Up 2 The Streets , Justin Bieber: Never Say Never , G.I. Joe: Retaliation ) is in talks to helm the He-Man flick. Per Deadline, “the film revolves around He-Man, a prince who transforms into a warrior and becomes the last hope for a magical world that has been ravaged by the sinister Skeletor.” Well, duh . Chu, who revitalized and set the pace for the Step Up franchise post-Channing Tatum then handily served up Bieber Fever with a well-conceived flick of that mop-top in 3-D, is currently converting G.I. Joe to 3-D for Paramount and directing Bieber’s live concert tour. On top of that, the success of his superhero webseries The LXD gave way to an entire YouTube channel ( DS2DIO ) dedicated to dance. He’s a busy guy with his hands in a number of youth-oriented projects and in his last three features has demonstrated a visionary knack utilizing dimensionalized space, although post-converting Joe wasn’t his first choice . Will his Masters of the Universe also go 3-D? I wouldn’t be surprised, but Sony Pictures and Escape Artists had better give Chu the time and money he needs up front if they’re even thinking of putting MoTU out in a souped-up format. Although we’ve got months to go to see if fans embrace or revolt against Chu’s version of G.I. Joe , Masters of the Universe devotees should take this as a good thing: Chu is nothing if not mindful of paying fan service to beloved properties. Besides, someone’s already mucked up He-Man on the big screen, and how . And it won’t be like this (probably): The next question is: Who could play He-Man? (And then: If MoTU is a hit, could She-Ra follow ?) Discuss! [ Deadline ]
