My Bieber Experience started almost a year ago; June 29, 2010 to be exact. I’ve known about Justin since January of 2009, which was just before he got famous. Little did I know how big of a deal he was going to be! On June 29, 2010 I saw him perform with my best friends in Minneapolis at the Target Center! It was an amazing performance and he seemed so excited since it was one of his very first concerts on his My World tour. I became obsessed! Fast forward to February of 2011, I became obsessed again. I found out he was going on tour and thought MAYBE just MAYBE I’d get to go to a concert out of the country! I saw ‘Never Say Never’ and told my dad how badly I wanted to meet him. A week later he texted me and told me he found front row seats! I was FREAKING OUT. Then I saw where it was. AUSTRALIA. MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA. I was internally dying. I stayed up until 4 am almost every single day for the next two weeks begging him to take me. I was losing hope fast and then one night he said “Let’s look ONE LAST TIME!” We had found the tickets on eBay and he said “Let’s look under this section.” It was called ‘Starred/Purchased’ or something like that. Under ‘Purchased’ was two front row tickets to see JUSTIN BIEBER IN MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA ON MAY 2, 2011. I started SCREAMING. I couldn’t believe I was going to see JUSTIN FREAKING BIEBER FRONT ROW. IN AUSTRALIA. So Friday, April 29, 2011, we flew 21 hours all the way to AUSTRALIA. I was seriously in so much shock I couldn’t even believe it. The concert was just incredible and I had an AMAZING time meeting tons of girls. I also met Kenny and Alfredo! And Moses! I was so excited and happy. Once I got home, I realized I probably would not meet him and became depressed. Two weeks after we got home, my dad found a Benefit Concert in the Bay Area of California on JUNE 11. Which was THREE DAYS before my fourteenth birthday. We had already agreed Australia was my present but once we found Meet and Greets for sale, that was the end of it. We HAD TO GO. One problem. The last meet and greet package for 2 had been sold two hours before we asked to buy them. I was devastated and upset the entire day. About a week and a half later, my dad surprised me saying we had GOTTEN THE MEET AND GREETS! I began shaking and sobbing, calling all of my friends. All of them were freaking out! Friday, June 10 came slowly, and soon we got on yet, ANOTHER PLANE for Justin Bieber! We flew to San Francisco. As soon as the clock hit midnight, I screamed “I’M MEETING JUSTIN BIEBER TODAY!” I woke up three times during the night feeling sick out of nervousness and woke up before 8 am. I got my hair done, and then went shopping, which is when a random guy looked at me and said, “Anything is possible if you just believe.” I kinda just nodded my head because I was extremely confused, but I knew it had to be a sign that the whole #NEVERSAYNEVER thing was completely true. I was so so so nervous and I barely ate anything the entire day. I literally was shaking for 24 hours in complete anticipation and nervousness that I was about to meet my idol and THE most famous person in the entire WORLD. I had an extra meet and greet pass and was trying to find someone to give it to, so when I saw that @BieberFitch was going to the concert. I immediately tweeted her saying I had an extra one! She was going with her friend who had never met him, but she had twice, so she wanted me to give it to Jazmyn instead! We got to the Saratoga Winery and I was waiting for them but they were running late so I left the M&G pass with someone else to give to Jazmyn. I got in line for the M&G. We all got in line. It was almost time. We were the next people to go in and meet him. I saw his shadow and started freaking out. When the guy opened the curtain I saw Justin and literally just froze. He pushed me and told me to go in. To calm my nerves, I went up to Kenny and said “Nice to meet you again, I met you last month in Australia!” and he said “Oh, nice to meet you again too!”. Then there was Justin. He told me to come get in the picture. I walked over to the right side of him and he put his arm around me. I remember how I felt. Like “Oh my God this is JUSTIN BIEBER TOUCHING ME.” It’s the coolest feeling in the world. I know I look kind of stupid in the picture, but I was so shocked. Before he even took his arm off me, I looked at him and asked for a hug. He said “Yes, of course!” and he moved his arm and gave me a really good hug. He felt so warm and he smelled absolutely AMAZING, like vanilla sort of? His short was so soft and I did NOT WANT TO LET GO. He let me go and I was just so giddy and happy and freaking out and then I had to walk away and I started yelling “Oh! By the way I went all the way to Australia last month just for your concert!” His eyes got big and he went “DID YOU LIKE IT?” with the most adorable look on his face and I screamed “YES!” and I’m like “Oh! I’m also from Minnesota!” and he said “Thank you so much!”. I walked out and started SOBBING and hyperventilating. Later, I met Scooter Braun, Carin, Jon M Chu (who signed my First Step 2 Forever book!), Dan Kanter, Ryan Good, MC Hammer, and MC’s sons! MC & one of his son’s also signed my book! I saw Kenny twice after that and said Hi both times, and I also saw his mom and Alfredo! Honestly, meeting Justin is the coolest feeling a person can feel. #NEVERSAYNEVER.

The fun all started when I was browsing around, looking at all my friends on Facebook when I came across an old au-pair (nanny) of mine and I remembered she used to live in Canada. I clicked on her friends and searched Carin (Scooter’s girlfriend) and she had her on Facebook. I freaked out and told my dad because my au-pair was somehow connected to my old next door neighbor in South Africa. When I asked my au-pair how she knew Carin, she said that my neighbor was Carin’s brother so then again I freaked out. I got my dad to call my neighbor- as he lived in South Africa and we had moved to Sydney, Australia and my dad asked if there was anyway that he could organize a meet and greet for us at Justin’s concert in Sydney, Australia on the 28th April. He said he would try make a plan as it just so happened he was going to meet Justin, Carin and Scooter in Israel the next day. He replied and said he could get 3 passes for meet and greet. I was literally in tears and decided to take my sister and my cousin. The day of Justin’s concert, there was school so my cousin, sister and I went. We could hardly concentrate because we were so excited. When we walked in to get a photo, I was shaking. I walked in and saw him standing there hugging Carin. I freaked out and it was such a blur. We took the picture and I stood next to Justin! It was the best moment of my life. I was shaking and he took my hand and he squeezed it! I wish I could rewind back to that moment!

Grease star Jeff Conaway’s family members haave decided to turn off the actor’s life support system, marking a sad end to his battle with substance abuse. The family, who has kept a vigil at the L.A. hospital where Conaway is in a coma after being found unconscious at home, say his fight will end. “Doctors advised the family that Jeff has had no brain function since he was brought into the hospital,” a source close to the situation said. It looks unlikely that Jeff Conaway will emerge from his coma . “The feeding tube has already been removed. The ventilator which is breathing for Jeff, will be removed sometime this afternoon.” “Jeff is in no pain whatsoever.” It’s unknown how Conaway will cope when the machine is switched off, but there will be no further attempts to resuscitate the actor. “No measures will be made to try and revive him once the breathing tube is removed,” the source said. “Jeff has remained unconscious.” The former Taxi star, now 60 years old, was hospitalized back on May 11 for what was though to be a prescription drug overdose. Dr. Drew Pinsky, who treated Conaway on Celebrity Rehab, said the star was suffering from pneumonia and sepsis, a severe blood illness. Our thoughts go out to his family and friends.

In April, Miley Cyrus said she was headed on an international tour because she didn’t know if America wanted to hear from her these days. It was an odd thing to say, but if Cyrus was looking for love, she definitely found it in Panama City. That area welcomed the singer with open arms, and very loud screams this week. And Miley rewarded the crowd with a set that included such favorites as “Stay” and “Can’t Be Tamed.” Just listen to how bonkers it gets when the former is introduced… Miley Cyrus – Stay (Live) Cyrus next heads to Australia, where all her shows are sold out. But before she goes there, listen to three more Panama performances below: Miley Cyrus – Can’t Be Tamed (Live) Miley Cyrus – Forgiveness And Love (Live) Miley Cyrus Covers Joan Jett
Before she premieres ‘The Story of Us’ on Tuesday, we look back at some of our best times with the singer. By Jocelyn Vena Taylor Swift Photo: Getty Images Taylor Swift is set to premiere her new music video for “The Story of Us” on Tuesday when she sits down with MTV News’ Sway for “MTV First: Taylor Swift.” Until then, we are looking back at some of our favorite moments with the country pop star. Back in 2008, we got Swift to work for us at the VMA pre-show as our fashion correspondent , where she interviewed some of the biggest names in the business about their sense of style on the red carpet. She also happened to be nominated that night, but it wasn’t until the following year that she finally took home a Moonman. Later that year, she sat down with MTV News to talk about her album Fearless and revealed she had always wanted to guest-star on “CSI.” Months later, the world would learn that she did, in fact, nab a part. Coincidence? We think not! MTV News was there both times Swift appeared on “Saturday Night Live,” first in 2009 when she appeared as the musical guest. Then in 2010, Tim Kash caught up with Swift as she prepared to not only take the stage again as a performer, but also to host the show for the first time. Other great Swift interview moments we’ll never forget include her sharing what she wanted for her 19th birthday (eyeglasses), revealing her plans for her 21st birthday , divulging her admiration for Rihanna’s sense of style and, leading up to the release of Speak Now, she even opened up about the track “The Story of Us,” explaining that it all started with an awkward encounter with her ex at an awards show. On Tuesday at 7:53 p.m. ET on MTV and MTV.com, fans can tune in to see Swift introduce the “Story of Us” video’s official premiere and speak with Sway live on-air. Sway and Taylor will then continue their chat for a 30-minute live stream on MTV.com. The singer will answer a few questions from fans too. You can submit questions for Taylor on MTV.com or via Twitter using @MTVNews, hashtag #AskTaylor. At 8 p.m. ET on Tuesday, the music video will debut online on MTV.com, VH1.com and MTV’s International Sites in 150+ territories, followed by a premiere on TeenNick at 10:56 p.m. ET. For those who can’t wait for the video premiere, a 30-second sneak peek of “The Story of Us” will air during VH1’s “Big Morning Buzz Live” on Tuesday, May 24, at 9:30 a.m. ET/PT. The full video will also appear on “VH1 Top 20 Video Countdown” on Saturday, May 28 at 9 a.m. ET/PT. Are you looking forward to Swift’s latest video premiere and interview with Sway?
