My Bieber Experience started almost a year ago; June 29, 2010 to…

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.

Britney Spears Offers A Glimpse At Femme Fatale Stage

‘It’s beautiful,’ pop star says in an online video as she sees the setup for the first time. By Jocelyn Vena Britney Spears Photo: Getty Wondering what the Femme Fatale Tour will look like when it kicks off next week? Well, wonder no more! Britney Spears offered up a tease of the stage in a new video posted online. “Oh my God!” she squealed walking into the room seeing the setup for the first time. “I love it!” Spears walked the stage with her managers, giving fans a taste of what’s to come once the shows kick off June 16 in Sacramento, California, with opening act Nicki Minaj . The stage has it all: lights, video screens, a funky neon-colored floor, lasers, lifts and giant butterfly wings. “It’s beautiful,” Spears said as she listened to her music blast over the loud speakers and checked out the way the lights and video would play during what appears to be a reworked version of “Hold It Against Me” that included more electric guitar. “The Femme Fatale Tour will hopefully just be outrageously spectacular,” Spears recently said about the multi-city arena tour. “I’m just hoping that the choreographers will come up with just the most outrageous things, and I’m really excited. … This is one of the most excited I’ve been about a project in a really long time, so I can’t wait.” Minaj is just as excited about the tour, and she knows she has to go big to match the spectacle of a Britney show. “I’m just trying to put more theater on that stage. So much to me is music, but it’s also about putting on a show, so that’s my goal: to truly put on a show and incorporate theater and dance,” she explained. “I think it’s pretty easy to take it to the next level … I think I’m nowhere close to where I could be as far as my shows have been.” Spears’ longtime manager Larry Rudolph teased the tour’s theme months ago when he spoke to us in Las Vegas before Spears played a mini-set for an excited room of fans at the Palms Hotel and Casino. Even then, Rudolph knew Brit’s track “Till the World Ends” would play into the theme. ” ‘Till the World Ends’ keeps becoming a theme for us,” he said back in March. “The way we come up with a concept for a show like this is we sit with Britney, she talks to us about what she’s interested in and what excites her. We start with the songs on the album; we start with coming up with general, broad concepts. She tells us what interests her and excites her.” Will you check out the Britney Spears tour?

‘Teen Wolf’ Stars Promise ‘Blood, Shirtless Men And Mystery’

‘Get ready for the gnarliest show you can feast your eyes on,’ Tyler Posey says of show’s post-Movie Awards premiere. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Chris Kim Tyler Posey as Scott McCall in “Teen Wolf” Photo: MTV For fans of all things supernatural, Sunday’s MTV Movie Awards were made for you. Thanks to exclusives from “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1” and “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2” and the big premiere of the new MTV series “Teen Wolf” right after the show, it’s all about sexy creatures of the night. So why should you check out the latest incarnation of “Teen Wolf”? Well, the stars gave MTV News some really convincing reasons. For one, Tyler Hoechlin said, “There’s a lot of mystery.” Crystal Reed added, “Two, there’s a lot of shirtless men,” and Tyler Posey added, “There’s a lot of blood, and that’s all you need in life: blood, shirtless men and mystery. Get ready for the gnarliest show you can feast your eyes on. It’s just going to be a really cool show.” With a werewolf and a pretty girl at the center of the romance of the show, it’s easy to make comparisons to “Twilight.” Posey happens to play a teen wolf on “Teen Wolf” just like Taylor Lautner, but he explained the big difference between his show’s wolves and, you know, those other ones. “We’re not the only werewolves here at the MTV Movie Awards. The kids from ‘Twilight’ also have a couple werewolves of their own, but do they match up to us?” he asked. “My argument [is], we will win in a fight because we have opposable thumbs and we can jab their eyes out, and what’s cooler than jabbing another werewolves’ eyes out?” Hosted by Jason Sudeikis, the 20th annual MTV Movie Awards air live this Sunday at 9 p.m. ET/PT, from the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, California. Will wizards, vampires or dream thieves steal the 2011 MTV Movie Awards ? Find out June 5, when the 20th annual show airs live at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

’30 Minutes Or Less’ Stars Call Car Chases ‘Easy’ At MTV’s Sneak Peek Week

Aziz Ansari and Nick Swardson share their action-hero dreams at Q&A session. By Eric Ditzian Aziz Ansari and Nick Swardson Photo: MTV News WEST HOLLYWOOD, California — The bar was set super high Friday night (June 3) during MTV’s final Sneak Peek Week screening. Since Monday, we’d been showing early looks at some of the summer’s hottest films and having crazy chats with the various casts. Take, for instance, the moment “Horrible Bosses” star Jason Sudeikis launched into a filthily hilarious explanation of the “The Twilight Saga” : the vampire story as told by a “Star Wars”-obsessed, mind-in-the-gutter comedian. The pressure was on Friday, and the guys from “30 Minutes or Less” — stars Aziz Ansari and Nick Swardson and director Reuben Fleischer — were more than up to the task. Their upcoming action/comedy, it should be said, served as quite the warm-up act for the crowd at the Pacific Design Center. The film stars Jesse Eisenberg as a beer-guzzling, joint-sucking pizza delivery boy who gets sucked into a harebrained scheme, hatched by slackers played by Danny McBride and Swardson, to rob a bank. Eisenberg’s character, with a bomb strapped to his chest and only hours to complete the heist, enlists his pal, a teacher played by Ansari, to help out in the crime. Things do not go very well, to hilarious results. The part represents Ansari’s biggest onscreen role to date. “This is the first time I’ve been around the whole movie,” he said. “Usually I’ll be around for a few minutes, and then they’re like, ‘Just say something about your penis and get out of here!’ ” It was all new for Swardson, too, who cracked that perhaps he has the makings of an action-hero career. “Maybe I’ll be the Predator!” Is launching such a career as easy as that? According to Ansari, at least, the car-chase portion of action flicks is a breeze. “Car chases are pretty easy,” he said. “You’re like, ‘Oooohhhhhhh!’ OK, let’s get another one. ‘Whooooooooa! Look out!’ ” On second thought, though, maybe these guys aren’t cut out to inherent the cinematic thrones of Stallone and Schwarzenegger. It just takes so damn long to shoot one of these flicks, Ansari said. After production wrapped on “30 Minutes,” he added, “I watched ‘Fast Five,’ and I was like, ‘How did this movie not take 20 years to make? Did Vin Diesel start making this when he was 5?’ ” Though Eisenberg and McBride couldn’t make the Q&A, the duo did tape a message for the crowd. “I sent my family a similar taped message at Thanksgiving,” McBride confessed. Said Eisenberg, “We hope you liked the movie. But if you didn’t, by this point it’s on you, because you’re still there.” As the laughter rolled in, no one seemed to be complaining about spending their Friday night at Sneak Peek Week.

New Spider-Man Andrew Garfield Gets Thumbs-Up From Emma Stone

‘He looks like Spider-Man,’ says the actress, who plays the superhero’s love interest, Gwen Stacy, in ‘The Amazing Spider-Man.’ By Jocelyn Vena Bryce Dallas Howard and Emma Stone Photo: MTV News It’s not often that two actresses who have appeared alongside one another in one movie have also played the same role in separate films at different times in their respective careers, but that’s just the case with “The Help” co-stars Bryce Dallas Howard and Emma Stone. If you’re a bit confused now, let us quickly untangle this web of a description for you. Howard appeared as the character Gwen Stacy in 2007’s “Spider-Man 3,” while Stone has taken on the same part for the upcoming superhero reboot “The Amazing Spider-Man.” On Thursday night, when Stone and Howard sat down for the latest installment of MTV’s Sneak Peek Week, they opened up about both playing Spider-Man’s love interest. When MTV News caught up with the ladies before the Q&A session, we just had to ask Stone what it was like to see the new Spidey, Andrew Garfield, all decked out in his webbed spandex best. “He looks like Spider-Man, ya know?” she shared. “It’s pretty exciting.” Howard also gave her thumbs-up to the latest Spider-Man. “I saw Andrew in a leaked photo,” she said. “And he looked really good.” The former Gwen Stacy isn’t only excited about Garfield picking up where Tobey Maguire left off, but she’s given her blessing, quite enthusiastically, to Stone too. “I’m one of those people that goes online and reads gossip about movies, so pretty early on, there was some buzz,” Howard explained, adding that she visited Stone in her trailer on the set of “The Help” the minute she heard the casting news. “I was stoked.” Stone elaborated a bit more about her time on set as Stacy, sharing that she had a joyous time making “The Amazing Spider-Man,” which was directed by Marc Webb. “It was great; it was really wonderful,” she dished about shooting the film. “It’s something we both, for some reason, get to be a part of, which is wonderful.” Stick with MTV News all week as we gear up for the 2011 MTV Movie Awards this Sunday with a Sneak Peek Week screening and live-stream Q&A session every night this week.

‘Twilight’ Vs. ‘Harry Potter’: Who Will Win First 2011 MTV Movie Award?

Plus: Jason Sudeikis goes inside nominated movies, Steven Spielberg presents a ‘Super 8′ exclusive and more Act 1 inside scoop! By Kara Warner Robert Pattinson in “Eclipse” Photo: Summit In the last couple days leading up to the 2011 MTV Movie Awards , we’ve been all about bringing fans as close to the awards-show action as possible. The intrepid MTV News team working from the show’s site in Universal City, California, has been privy to countless exclusive sneak peeks, like advance screenings of “Horrible Bosses,” “The Help” and more during our Sneak Peek Week; the promise of an awesome “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2” exclusive during the big show; and the very first look at “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1.” If that isn’t enough to get you to tune in Sunday, MTV News’ Jim Cantiello tracked down the show’s supervising producer, Jane Mun, to get inside info about what viewers can expect to see during the first act of the show. “In Act 1, we have Jason Sudeikis, our host , going in and out of our movies, but I can’t tell you what [exactly] that is, because that’s a surprise that we have to keep,” Mun teased. “You’ll notice right here a name [Taylor Lautner] on this board,” she added, gesturing to a large poster board covered in different-colored pieces of paper, each with names of people and events that will occur during the telecast. “I can’t spill the deets,” Mun said when pressed about what the “Twilight” superstar will be doing onstage. Cantiello suggested that whatever Lautner does, it should be shirtless — which Mun didn’t confirm or deny. “Then we have Jason come out and greet the room and our viewers to a really awesome monologue, ” Mun continued, adding that she’s alerted her censor team that they might have some extra work during Sudeikis’ opener. “I’ve already talked to the censors, and they are in for a treat,” she said with a smile. The first award of the night will be Best Male Performance, which pits supernatural studs Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner (“The Twilight Saga: Eclipse”) against each other and “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1” star Daniel Radcliffe, Jesse Eisenberg (“The Social Network”) and Zac Efron (“Charlie St. Cloud”). Who will come out on top? “Then, we just announced [Thursday] morning, is going to be the exclusive sneak peek of ‘Super 8,’ ” with director J.J. Abrams and producer Steven Spielberg and stars Elle Fanning and Joel Courtney presenting. “And that is our Act 1!” Will wizards, vampires or dream thieves steal the 2011 MTV Movie Awards ?

‘Eclipse’ Star Makes Plea For MTV Movie Awards Votes!

Jackson Rathbone tells Twilighters, ‘We’ve got a lot of heavy competition this year.’ By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Eric Ditzian Jackson Rathbone Photo: MTV News WEST HOLLYWOOD, California — Hard-core Twilighters don’t need a reason to vote for “Eclipse” at the 2011 MTV Movie Awards , but if you’re torn, co-star Jackson Rathbone has some great reasons why you should help the third movie in the “Twilight Saga” take home some trophies at the show on Sunday. “We’ve got a lot of heavy competition this year — some Oscar winners, some amazing films, some amazing actors,” Rathbone said, reaching out to Movie Awards voters this week. “We’re just lucky to be in … contention, but y’all can help us out and go online and vote.” “Eclipse” is up for eight awards at the big show, including nods in categories like Best Movie, Best Female Performance, Best Male Performance, Best Breakout Star, Best Fight and Best Kiss, which has Kristen Stewart nominated for kissing both Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson ( Le scandal! ). And Jackson had one more push for the flicks. “Go out and vote and help us out. We need your votes,” he added. The “Twilight Saga” has had a quite a streak in recent years, taking home nearly 10 Golden Popcorn statues in all. And there’s a good chance the latest film will do well this weekend, when it will be up against a slew of other big flicks like ‘Inception” and “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1,” and “Eclipse” stars will compete against A-listers like Emma Watson, Zac Efron, Emma Stone and Jesse Eisenberg, to name a few. “Twilight” director Catherine Hardwicke recently told us she was excited to learn that the David Slade-directed film is nominated for so many Movie Awards. “I think it’s great. I love it that people are so passionate about it and that people are really into it and following the characters,” she said when we chatted with her about the June 14 DVD release of “Red Riding Hood.” “I think it’s a great tribute, obviously, to what [author] Stephenie Meyer created. … Rob and Kristen and everybody’s been able to just keep it going and keep people loving it all this time, and, of course, all the directors, everybody. I think it’s awesome. It’s great.” Hosted by Jason Sudeikis, the 20th annual MTV Movie Awards air live on Sunday, June 5, at 9 p.m. ET/PT, from the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, California.
