Demi Lovato: Behind Her World Series National Anthem

We follow the singer as she returns to her hometown to sing the ‘Star-Spangled Banner’ and cheer the Texas Rangers to victory. By Matt Harper Demi Lovato sings the National Anthem prior to Game 5 of the 2011 World Series Photo: MLB/Getty Fifteen minutes before taking the field to sing the national anthem near her hometown of Dallas at Game 5 of the World Series, Demi Lovato admitted to MTV News just how nervous she was. “I feel like I’m about to jump out of a plane,” the young star confided nervously after warming up her vocals in a back room deep in the heart of Arlington, Texas’ Rangers Ballpark. “Although this is a lot safer.” MTV News got the opportunity to spend the day with Demi as she prepped for the big moment. Minutes before stepping out in front of 51,000 people, she was cracking jokes, but it was plain to see that she was nervous — extremely excited, but definitely nervous. Just seventeen minutes later, and Demi’s smile said everything you needed to know about how her performance went. Standing on the field watching the 19-year-old belt out the notoriously difficult song, it was hard not to get swept up in the emotion of it all. Even before the end of the anthem, hitting a particularly difficult note in stride, the crowd erupted in premature cheering. As fireworks erupted and the crowd stood cheering, Demi left the field smiling. As we walked through the back hallways of the stadium, we were stopped every few feet by fans, athletes and MLB officials telling Demi how amazing she had done. After posing for photos with a few fans, Demi was approached by Dodgers center fielder Matt Kemp, who had also just left the field after being given the 2011 Hank Aaron Award as the most outstanding offensive player in the National League. Kemp took a moment to congratulate Demi and ask for a picture with her. Finally back in the green room, Demi was able to stop and think back on the whirlwind 20 minutes. Her family and friends were all there to support her, and they gushed about seeing the performance on TV and how clearly moved the players and fans were. In the company of her support circle, Demi was able to relax and laugh and let the nervous energy of the day roll away. All that was left was to sit back and spend time with the people that she cared about the most — and cheer on the Rangers, of course. We all traveled to our seats to watch the World Series game, and Demi sat in-between her aunt and one of her childhood friends, with other relatives and close friends flanking her on either side. For the next few hours, Demi got to watch the exciting game like the rest of the 50,999 fans in the stadium, eating popcorn and standing up to cheer as the Texas Rangers’ Mike Napoli got the final out of the game to seal Texas’ 4-2 win over the St-Louis Cardinals. A perfect end to a long and exciting day for Demi Lovato. How did Demi do on the anthem? Let us know in the comments! Related Videos MTV News Extended Play: Demi Lovato Related Artists Demi Lovato

Demi Lovato: Behind Her World Series National Anthem

My name is Mary Jo and I’m 16 years old. It all started in…

My name is Mary Jo and I’m 16 years old. It all started in August when I bought tickets for JB’s concert with the BieberFever membership. I was in Platino 1 row 1 right next to the  platform  where Justin walked! The concert was on October 1st 2011! The day came and I was more than excited. I woke up, I got my hair done, I dressed in purple and at 4:00 pm we left the house. We arrived at the Foro Sol around 5:00 pm. The stadium was completely full. The stage was about 3 meters away from me and the platform was like 1 meter away from me, it was amazing, I couldn’t believe I was there and that I was going to see Justin Bieber! Alfredo Flores came out and I was screaming to him, “TE AMO”, he smiled and took pictures of my sister and I. Then on the huge screen, the countdown started, it was like 1:00 59 58 57…. 5 4 3 2 1!!! I was freaking out! Justin appeared and I was like OMB! He was so close!! I was really happy! When the concert was over and I arrived home,  I read that Justin was staying in the W Hotel in Polanco, that is a part of Mexico City. I asked my mom if we can go there the next day and she said yes. So the day after on October 2, we went to the W Hotel. It was really crowdy so my mom ended up making reservations. I saw Justin leaving the building and was shocked. Our reservation was at 9:30pm so we could see Biebs after his 2nd concert.  We went to eat and came back to the hotel at 9:20pm. Outside the hotel was lots of people, so security let us in because we had booked. Someone from security told me Justin would arrive at 10:30pm. At that hour, I saw him arriving in the hotel. I was in the balcony of the restaurant and all the girls outside the hotel started screaming and me too, haha I was like OMB he is here!! I went to the lobby and then a guy told me that the man next to me was of JB’s staff. I told him if he can give JB a letter I wrote and he said, “Yeah sure, I will give it to him personally!” My mom, my aunt and I were finishing our dinner and I was a lil disappointed because I didn’t have the opportunity to meet Justin or anyone in the Bieber Team. We were finishing dessert when a guy told me someone downstairs was signing autographs. I went downstairs and DAN KANTER was there! I just couldn’t believe it, so I took a picture with him and he give me his autograph. I said, “Dan you are the best” and he said, “You are the best too” Then RYAN GOOD appeared. He gave me his autograph and I took a picture with him too. After that I film a little video with Dan and Ryan. Later in the lobby, SCOOTER BRAUN  appeared!! OMB it was amazing, so I took a picture with him. Also he gave me his autograph and after that I saw KENNY HAMILTON ! Wow he hugged me and I was more shocked. Ryan came in the lobby again, he sat on a chair and smiled at me. He asked me what my name was. I said Mary Jo and he said nice meeting you! I asked if he liked Mexico City and he said, “Yeah MEXICO CITY TE AMO!” I talked to him for 8 minutes and like 4 minutes with Scooter! All of them are really nice, really polite and they have such a good heart. They dont act like celebrities, they are awesome!  I said goodbye to all of them. I finished my dessert and my mom paid the bill of the restaurant. After that we left the hotel I still couldnt believe it! It was the best day ever!! Thanks to all the Bieber Team, you guys r awesome!! That was my bieber experience, I hope you liked it. -@MJoBiebs Here is a video front row I took in Mexico City!   Video of Dan, Ryan and I    Autographs View post: My name is Mary Jo and I’m 16 years old.

My name is Sarah! I’m 15 years old from Cobourg, Ontario…

My name is Sarah! I’m 15 years old from Cobourg, Ontario and on August 27th I got to hang out with Ryan Buler, Chaz Somers & Caleb Sebben! It started when my friend Victoria sent me a FB message asking if I wanted to meet Chaz Somers with her at his Le Ninja photo shoot in Stratford! I of course said yes and was totally excited! On the morning of, we jumped into her dad’s truck and drove 3 hours to get to Stratford! When we got there we headed to Pattie’s favourite restaurant “Madelyn’s Diner” for breakfast. We then headed downtown because we wanted to see the avon theatre! When we got there, we saw a young girl playing violin. We got excited because this was the girl who plays violin in Never Say Never! I asked if we could get a picture with her and she said of course! Then Victoria’s dad was talking to the girls dad so we talked to her! We found out her name is Jennifer Saunders and Justin gave her $8 the day he put money in her case. We then took pictures on the steps of the Avon Theatre! Jennifer then reviled to us that underneath a tile was Justin’s Star! (like the Hollywood Walk of Fame but in Stratford) It had been put in really recently, so underneath it was still drying! It was so cool! He was the only one who had a star for something other then acting!  We looked at the time and saw we had to get heading to the Meet & Greet with Chaz! We drove down to the Stratford Cinemas and saw another van filled with 5 girls. We were the only ones coming. One of the guys from Le Ninja clothing came outside and told us Chaz was just going to do a short photo shoot with the contest winner then we came come in to meet him. The guy went back inside. Then Victorias dad says, “Who’s this kid coming down the stairs” Victoria looked around the corner and simply said, “Hey Chaz” my heart started racing. He replied, “Hey girls” and smiled. Then his mom came and opened the door she asked him. “When are the guys coming?” Chaz said, “Ryan and Caleb should be here soon”. My eyes must of popped out of my head. We didn’t know that Ryan was coming! I had to hold is my excitement till Chaz went inside, and as soon as he did i couldn’t stop giggling. We then saw another car pull in and it was Ryan and Caleb. They stepped out of the car and walked right into the cinema. I almost died, I mean its RYAN BUTLER! After about 20 minutes we saw them go into the ticket booth and set the shirts up they were selling. Then Chaz’s older brother came and let us in. All 7 of us girls shyly walked in and stood there not going near the guys. Then I said well what the heck and I walked right up to them, “Hey guys” “HEEEYY!!” I smiled. I suddenly wasn’t nervous because they were normal. They started to sign pictures and stuff then Ryan who shyly was tucked in the corner looked at me and said, “Hey so what grade are you going into” Uhmmm did he just talk to me? *dead* I simply answered, “10” Then he looked at me, “Really?!” I didn’t know if he meant I looked older or younger so I just laughed and nodded and he laughed to. We then had to get out of the movie theatre because it was opening soon so we went onto the front yard and hung out there. I got some videos for my friends and we all took pictures and just talked! Then they had to get going so we all got hugs and when Caleb hugged me he picked me up. Ryan hugged me next tightly then Chaz. The other girls got in there car and left but we waited till the guys left so we talked for another 5 or 10 minutes and thats when Chaz tweeted about hanging out with us (except he got my username wrong) but it was still so cool! We sadly had to leave. We waved goodbye then got in the car and headed downtown again. We were walking past the Avon theatre when I glanced across the street and saw Ryan, Chaz and Caleb AGAIN! I just smiled then Ryan looked over and waved at me. I waved back then so did Chaz and Caleb.  I know I didn’t meet Justin but I got to hangout with his friends! They were all so sweet, funny and Justin’s lucky to have them! I know my day to meet Justin will come but meeting Chaz & Ryan was just as amazing! Never Say Never & Dream Big! – @ilysarahbieber Follow this link: My name is Sarah! I’m 15 years old from Cobourg, Ontario…

First I just wanted to say thanks, Vanessa! Reading these posts…

First I just wanted to say thanks, Vanessa! Reading these posts always makes me smile.But anyways my name is Kelly, and this is my  Bieber Experience .I first heard Justin’s ‘One Time’ with my friends in the fall of 2009. I was addicted to his music right away. And when I found out more about him as a person I was crazy about him too. It all started when Matty from Kiss 108’s morning show announced the line up for Jingle Ball 2009, MA. He announced that the new teen heart throb Justin Bieber would be attending. The day the tickets went on sale me and my friend rushed home from school and clicked refresh millions of times. We were able to get tickets! The day of the show came and when we got inside a man handed us a brouchure saying there would be meet and greets. So we ran around like crazy looking for the booth. We found it but it was completely mobbed. It got so bad that they had to shut down. We were so mad. So we waited around for them to re-open and when they did, to our disapointment, Justin was sold out. Instead we met Jordin Sparks which was cool, but she’s no Justin. Our seats for the show weren’t amazing; but it was exciting to see Justin in concert for the first time.My opportunity came when Justin announced the second leg of the My World tour. He would be coming to Boston! I also saw a VIP package that they were offering. It was expensive, but you got front floor section seats, passes into the sound-check and pre-party/dinner, a signed photo book, and lots of merchandise. I was totally excited but knew that they were way too expensive and my parents said there was no chance. But by some miracle, lots of luck, and thanks to the help of my aunt, we got tickets. ROW THREE SEATS. The Boston Garden, November 16, 2010. I couldn’t believe it. Now I just had to wait.Fast forward to November 16th. Time flew and I couldn’t believe that today was the day. When we got to the venue we joined the line to wait to get in. Once we checked in we got our VIP wristbands, and lanyards. We then waited for the sound check that was to start at 4. While waiting we met some really nice fans, and became friends with a few other groups. Then they finally shuffled us randomly into the first few rows of the arena. We were in the second row right in the middle. The whole crew was on stage. The dancers put on a little show for us and @thatrygood intorduced us to everybody. Then after a little bit of hanging out with them; Justin came out looking fine as always.  He was so nice and very chill. And as I always thought; he was completely down to earth. I couldn’t believe it, he was standing just a few feet infront of me, just talking to us. Being with him didn’t make me scream or cry, it just made me smile. After about a 1/2 an hour of hanging out with him, we were brought to the reception, so Justin could get ready for the sold out show. My friend Courtney (that I met there) and I ate a little, but mostly just talked about how cool everything was. We couldn’t resist going to talk to DAN KANTER! We walked over to him and asked for a picture, he said “Sure guys! Thanks for asking!”. Then we talked to him for a few minutes about how Justin always steals his hats on stage. He was hilarious. This was all before anyone else realized he was there (we left when he got mobbed). And finally we met Legaci, Justin’s backup singers. It was all so surreal and the concert hadn’t even started yet! When we got put into our seats we could not believe how close we were. All the opening acts came out and they were great. About twenty minutes before Justin was going to come on the first three rows were given wristbands that allowed us to go up to the railing. I went up to the middle early, and waited there. When the concert started I couldn’t believe that Justin Bieber was right above me. He would look right down at us with his  gorgeous  golden brown eyes, only a reach away. But during Eenie Meenie he sang to me for about half of the song. It was so long that my aunt, standing a few feet behind me, noticed and took a picture. Even one time I looked up to find  him  looking at  me.  It’s amazing all he did to make us smile, He would make eye contact with one of us and we would smile, before he walked away he would laugh and smile back. And lastly, I even got on the big screen! It was unbelievable. That night was probably the best night of my life. I never expected it to be so perfect. I hope to one day meet Justin, but I’m very grateful for the opportunities I’ve had. Thank you so much Justin, for a night to remember. And thank you to my Aunt (and family) for making it all possible, I’m very thankful.I was told that night couldn’t happen, but I dreamed big.Every Belieber deserves their night, so don’t give up. Oh and one more thing, NEVER SAY NEVER! -@kellyyb95 See the original post: First I just wanted to say thanks, Vanessa!

Baby Daddy Of Woman Who Stated “I Will Pay Someone To Kill My Baby Father” On Facebook Found Dead

Coincidence or was this heffa really crazy enough to pay someone to kill her baby’s father after posting it on Facebook??? “I will pay somebody a stack to kill my baby father,” London Eley wrote on her Facebook status May 23. On Monday night the father of her baby was shot dead in West Philly, police say. Eley was already brought up on murder solicitation and weapons charges for the murder-for-hire Facebook post, and was in court on Monday when a judge upheld those charges. The father of Eley’s baby, 22-year-old Corey White, was shot once in the chest hours after the court hearing, police say. Police cannot yet say if White’s murder had anything to do with Eley’s death wish. White spoke to NBC Philadelphia in June, saying that he was scared for his life. “I never thought she would do anything like that,” White told NBC Philadelphia, with only his shoes showing for the camera. “I didn’t know she was that type of person.” Eley, 19, was arrested June 12 along with the alleged hitman-to-be, 18-year-old Timothy Bynum of Darby. After Eley wrote the status, and commented further that she wanted White “DEAD! HATE HIM,” Bynum responded on the social networking page: “say no more. what he look like. where he be at. need that stack 1st ima mop that bull.” A “stack” is slang for $1,000. “I just took it upon myself to go ahead and make sure that I wouldn’t have any done to me,” White told NBC Philadelphia. “On pictures that [Bynum] has, he has guns his pictures on Facebook. So of course you wouldn’t take anything like that lightly.” White went to police with his aunt, who was the first to see the threatening messages on Facebook. After Monday’s court hearing, defense lawyer Gerald Stein said Eley was only venting and exchanged messages with Bynum for an hour, but never met him. Eley and Bynum have been incarcerated since police arrested them in June. SMH Source

We were staying in a hotel in Los Angeles and our dad went…

We were staying in a hotel in Los Angeles and our dad went downstairs for breakfast. After he was there for about 10 minutes, he called us saying, “Get downstairs quickly, Lauren Conrad just walked in!” We were downstairs in less then 5 minutes. When we were sitting waiting for Lauren, Pattie (Justin’s mom) walked by and went into the restaurant. We weren’t sure if it was actually her or not! She came out again and went into the bathroom, then when she came out our dad asked her if she was Justin Bieber’s mom. She said yes, so we asked her for a picture and she politely said no since she was in her pajamas. Then, our dad asked her if Justin was staying at the hotel, too. She said he was but she wasn’t sure where he was. We decided to wait by the elevator for Justin. Somebody who worked at the hotel said that Justin usually takes the service elevator, so we wouldn’t be meeting him. Thats when Pattie came back, and went into the elevator that we were sitting by. Above the elevator, it says what level it is on. We saw that Pattie got off on the 5th floor, and that was the floor our hotel room was on! We went up to our floor and started going through the hallways to see if we could hear Justin. We ended up sitting by the elevator on our floor, because Justin would have to pass us to get to the service elevator. We heard a raspy voice coming towards us, and realized it was Justin. Justin walked in with Kenny, they looked at us and continued walking. Thats when we asked “Justin, can we please have a picture with you!” We were the only people there, so I couldn’t imagine him saying no. He said sure, and then we gave Kenny our camera and he took the picture. We said, “Thank you, Justin!” and he said it’s all good. Then him and Kenny walked to the other elevator. WE JUST MET JUSTIN BIEBER! -@emilylymann & @hannahlyman Here is the original post: We were staying in a hotel in Los Angeles and our dad went…

This is the story of my VERY unexpected 2nd Bieber…

This is the story of my VERY unexpected 2nd Bieber experience. It was a Saturday morning, July 16, 2011. I had just returned home from a vacation trip with my best friend, Paige Ito (paigeito2) and her family. I was so exhausted since it was 3am when I returned home that morning. My Mom let me sleep in but woke me up in time to remind me that it was Jeanine’s wedding day. This was an “adult only” wedding and no children were attending. Jeanine decided to invite some of the older cousins which included me. I debated whether to attend the wedding or stay back and watch my three little cousins so my older cousin could go since I was so tired.  After discussing what to do, my Mom suggested that I go and said I would have fun since my other teenage cousins were now coming. I said okay and off to Malibu we go. We arrive to the wedding and it’s the most beautiful, perfect day ever. There were only four of us teenagers (cousins) that were invited. As the night progressed the DJ announces that it’s time for the cake cutting ceremony. So everyone heads over to the opposite side of the dance floor. While the cake ceremony is going on, my Mom, cousin Alyssa, cousin Marisa, my Aunt Cece and like four other random people I didn’t know (including this mustache man behind me..lol) were on the dance floor. My cousin Alyssa and I were excited to have the dance floor to ourselves. We were like finally! KID TIME!! We spoke to the DJ and gave him the sign that it “was time”. Time to play some JUSTIN BIEBER!!!  We had already talked to the DJ prior to this point about playing some Bieber songs and he assured us he would play them. So the DJ starts us off with “Baby” and we start jamming out. I asked my Mom if she would record Alyssa and I dancing and she was like sure! Since the cake ceremony still appeared to be going on the DJ plays another song for us it’s ”One Time”. We were like YESSS!! The DJ saw that we are having so much fun and hands me the microphone . I was a little embarrassed but Alyssa and I were like who cares, lets sing this thing!!! No ones really paying attention to us. haha.  No one prepared us for what was about to happen.  While we were in our own little world singing and dancing I feel this person dancing behind me and I KNEW it wasn’t Alyssa. There were only “adults” at this wedding so I immediately think it’s “mustache man” who was dancing directly behind me. It scared me SO bad that I instinctively jumped back…like NO mustache man, get out! lol. I look, and its freakin’ JUSTIN BIEBER!!  If my calculations are correct this would make a total of about 10 heart-attacks that boy has given me if that’s even possible. In my mind I was like “again?!” “How are you here?!?!” “What’s happening?!?!” “WHATTT?!?!” Did Ellen set this up???. I said “Oh my God!” and put my hand over my mouth.  He scared me so bad! He was like “Ohh, hey”…all casual like no big deal…and gave me a hug. My cousin Alyssa starts screaming. Justin says to me ”How are you”. I’m like “ummm uhhh ummm good” (why cant I just answer him back like a normal person? haha). He like casts this spell on you and I become this speachless person that I’m so not. Trying my hardest to keep focused,  I continue on singing because Justin looks at me like “Keep going”. Justin then starts to dougie! I somehow pull myself together and dougie with him. By this time everyone at the wedding had received the memo that Justin Bieber had crashed the wedding and they start crowding around. Selena was there cracking up on the side. The DJ then plays ”OLLG”. I try to give Justin the microphone and I think he was embarrassed because he didn’t want to take over the party. We laughed then  I asked him, “What are you doing here?” He was like “We were just strolling on the beach and we heard someone singing my song”. I was like “Really?.. You came to my house, remember?”. Justin said ”Ohh yeah, you’re Paige!”. I was like “YEAAA!”. Then being the respectful person he is, Justin asked, “Have you met my girlfriend?” He smiled. He lead me through the crowd and introduced me to Selena.  There she was even more beautiful in person and so so adorable. I hugged her. Then she says, “We heard his music so we came”. Then we stayed with Selena while Justin walked over to congratulate the bride and groom and pose for some photos . We kept talking with Selena. Everyone seemed really happy to see Justin and Selena. Being respectful Justin says, “Thanks, we have to go now”. Selena and Justin smiled and waved good-bye to me and Alyssa. The whole wedding is in complete shock. Seriously, what were the chances of that happening? Like 0 to infinity? Alyssa and I run down the hill to the wood fence facing the ocean. We threw our hands up the the sky and yell, “THANK YOU GOD!!!!!”. We continued screaming and laughing our heads off. My cousin Alyssa lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She is also a huge Justin Bieber fan and never thought she would ever meet Justin. She ended up needing her asthma inhaler because she was crying so hard and couldn’t breathe. I was like Alyssa, just take deep breaths! (I learned that method on Ellen). This was clearly a case of being in the right place at the right time. What if I didn’t go to the wedding? Would anyone have played any of Justin’s songs?  It was a crazy, very unexpected night. I go home to think about what had just happened. The only thing I could think about was how happy  Justin made everyone, my family, my little cousin and me. He makes people so happy and who does that?! What other freakin famous celebrity does that? Just Justin. He is seriously one of the most amazing people in this world. He continues to show me how bad I want to live out my dreams and how bad I want to make everyone I meet happy. I think about this experience and feel so very very blessed and thank God everyday for my life, my family and my friends. I really do hope that all Justins fans get to meet him someday. He is everything you imagined and then some. I think I would personally be jealous of someone who had the opportunity to have two huge experiences to meet Justin, but I know I would be the first to say to them, I’m so happy for you because that’s what Beliebers do. We should be happy for each other and share our experiences together . Who would of thought Justin and Selena would ever crash my cousins wedding that day? Ya not me but I’m sooo glad they did! -@paigeconway2 Talking about the wedding on  GMA More: This is the story of my VERY unexpected 2nd Bieber…

I was like “YEAAA!”. Then being the respectful person he is, Justin asked, “Have you met my girlfriend?” He smiled. He lead me through the crowd and introduced me to Selena.  There she was even more beautiful in person and so so adorable. I hugged her. Then she says, “We heard his music so we came”. Then we stayed with Selena while Justin walked over to congratulate the bride and groom and pose for some photos . We kept talking with Selena. Everyone seemed really happy to see Justin and Selena. Being respectful Justin says, “Thanks, we have to go now”. Selena and Justin smiled and waved good-bye to me and Alyssa. The whole wedding is in complete shock. Seriously, what were the chances of that happening? Like 0 to infinity? Alyssa and I run down the hill to the wood fence facing the ocean. We threw our hands up the the sky and yell, “THANK YOU GOD!!!!!”. We continued screaming and laughing our heads off. My cousin Alyssa lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She is also a huge Justin Bieber fan and never thought she would ever meet Justin. She ended up needing her asthma inhaler because she was crying so hard and couldn’t breathe. I was like Alyssa, just take deep breaths! (I learned that method on Ellen). This was clearly a case of being in the right place at the right time. What if I didn’t go to the wedding? Would anyone have played any of Justin’s songs?  It was a crazy, very unexpected night. I go home to think about what had just happened. The only thing I could think about was how happy  Justin made everyone, my family, my little cousin and me. He makes people so happy and who does that?! What other freakin famous celebrity does that? Just Justin. He is seriously one of the most amazing people in this world. He continues to show me how bad I want to live out my dreams and how bad I want to make everyone I meet happy. I think about this experience and feel so very very blessed and thank God everyday for my life, my family and my friends. I really do hope that all Justins fans get to meet him someday. He is everything you imagined and then some. I think I would personally be jealous of someone who had the opportunity to have two huge experiences to meet Justin, but I know I would be the first to say to them, I’m so happy for you because that’s what Beliebers do. We should be happy for each other and share our experiences together . Who would of thought Justin and Selena would ever crash my cousins wedding that day? Ya not me but I’m sooo glad they did! -@paigeconway2 Talking about the wedding on  GMA More: This is the story of my VERY unexpected 2nd Bieber…

This is the story of my VERY unexpected 2nd Bieber…

This is the story of my VERY unexpected 2nd Bieber…

This is the story of my VERY unexpected 2nd Bieber experience. It was a Saturday morning, July 16, 2011. I had just returned home from a vacation trip with my best friend, Paige Ito (paigeito2) and her family. I was so exhausted since it was 3am when I returned home that morning. My Mom let me sleep in but woke me up in time to remind me that it was Jeanine’s wedding day. This was an “adult only” wedding and no children were attending. Jeanine decided to invite some of the older cousins which included me. I debated whether to attend the wedding or stay back and watch my three little cousins so my older cousin could go since I was so tired.  After discussing what to do, my Mom suggested that I go and said I would have fun since my other teenage cousins were now coming. I said okay and off to Malibu we go. We arrive to the wedding and it’s the most beautiful, perfect day ever. There were only four of us teenagers (cousins) that were invited. As the night progressed the DJ announces that it’s time for the cake cutting ceremony. So everyone heads over to the opposite side of the dance floor. While the cake ceremony is going on, my Mom, cousin Alyssa, cousin Marisa, my Aunt Cece and like four other random people I didn’t know (including this mustache man behind me..lol) were on the dance floor. My cousin Alyssa and I were excited to have the dance floor to ourselves. We were like finally! KID TIME!! We spoke to the DJ and gave him the sign that it “was time”. Time to play some JUSTIN BIEBER!!!  We had already talked to the DJ prior to this point about playing some Bieber songs and he assured us he would play them. So the DJ starts us off with “Baby” and we start jamming out. I asked my Mom if she would record Alyssa and I dancing and she was like sure! Since the cake ceremony still appeared to be going on the DJ plays another song for us it’s ”One Time”. We were like YESSS!! The DJ saw that we are having so much fun and hands me the microphone . I was a little embarrassed but Alyssa and I were like who cares, lets sing this thing!!! No ones really paying attention to us. haha.  No one prepared us for what was about to happen.  While we were in our own little world singing and dancing I feel this person dancing behind me and I KNEW it wasn’t Alyssa. There were only “adults” at this wedding so I immediately think it’s “mustache man” who was dancing directly behind me. It scared me SO bad that I instinctively jumped back…like NO mustache man, get out! lol. I look, and its freakin’ JUSTIN BIEBER!!  If my calculations are correct this would make a total of about 10 heart-attacks that boy has given me if that’s even possible. In my mind I was like “again?!” “How are you here?!?!” “What’s happening?!?!” “WHATTT?!?!” Did Ellen set this up???. I said “Oh my God!” and put my hand over my mouth.  He scared me so bad! He was like “Ohh, hey”…all casual like no big deal…and gave me a hug. My cousin Alyssa starts screaming. Justin says to me ”How are you”. I’m like “ummm uhhh ummm good” (why cant I just answer him back like a normal person? haha). He like casts this spell on you and I become this speachless person that I’m so not. Trying my hardest to keep focused,  I continue on singing because Justin looks at me like “Keep going”. Justin then starts to dougie! I somehow pull myself together and dougie with him. By this time everyone at the wedding had received the memo that Justin Bieber had crashed the wedding and they start crowding around. Selena was there cracking up on the side. The DJ then plays ”OLLG”. I try to give Justin the microphone and I think he was embarrassed because he didn’t want to take over the party. We laughed then  I asked him, “What are you doing here?” He was like “We were just strolling on the beach and we heard someone singing my song”. I was like “Really?.. You came to my house, remember?”. Justin said ”Ohh yeah, you’re Paige!”. I was like “YEAAA!”. Then being the respectful person he is, Justin asked, “Have you met my girlfriend?” He smiled. He lead me through the crowd and introduced me to Selena.  There she was even more beautiful in person and so so adorable. I hugged her.

Terrence Howard On Racism And The Judicial System [VIDEO]

Actor Terrence Howard , who is currently playing District Attorney Joe Dekker on Law & Order: SVU ,  took a break from taping to offer his thoughts on racism and the judicial system. “As long as there are humans on the planet there will be some sense of racism until everybody looks exactly the same” he begins. “Which we will never…” He goes on to speak on the the role plays in racism and the importance of addressing the topic in a public forum like a television show.  In an up-coming episode Dekker’s cousin is accused of raping a woman and he must defend him. In taking the case he finds out that his aunt was raped by The Klan in the 1960s. “The rapes that occurred in the civil rights activist era against young African-American women, who through no fault of their own [were] gang raped by white men and then discredited by calling them prostitutes, people got away with that for years and it’s contributed to our lack of faith in our judicial system today. It will be hundreds of years before the ugly markers of those actions are done away with.” LAW & ORDER: LOS ANGELES returns next Monday, April 11th RELATED POSTS: Terrence Howard’s Wife Files For Divorce Top 10 Black Sports Movies Of All Time Get A Sneak Peek At Jennifer Hudson & Terrence Howard In “Winnie” [VIDEO]
