My name is Milly and I am from Buenos Aires, Argentina….

My name is Milly and I am from Buenos Aires, Argentina . Everything started in August, when Justin announced his first tour date in Argentina. I had been expecting that day to come since 2009, when I became a Belieber and there hardly were fans in my country. The date announced was on October 12nd and it happened to be my birthday as well!  Unfortunately, my mom told me that I would only go if I paid my ticket and as I was going to go to a trip for my quinces, I couldn’t afford any better seats than a non numerated which were far away form stage. Anyway, I was happy. I was going to see that guy that I had watched grow over the years, that guy who I’ve supported since the beginning of his career. The day the tickets came out I was extremely anxious, I was going to buy my tickets (and my bff’s) at the night, because I thought the non-numerated tickets wouldn’t be SOLD OUT. It was about 7pm and one my friends told me, “Justin Bieber is completely sold out!” I could not believe it. I rushed home to verify and luckily, the section I was going to buy tickets for was not COMPLETELY sold out. I bought the tickets immediately and basically went on with my life. The day came, and you already know, I did not have a seat reserved for me or anything, so I went to do the line with my friends at about 1pm, and it was raining as it had never rained in Buenos Aires, seriously, I have never seen so much rain in this city. Anyway, we stayed on the line despite everything, for 6 hours, when suddenly, a friend of my bff calls her. He told her he knew how we could get into the M&G but that we had to go with them right away. It was my birthday and I had the chance to meet Justin, something I had never thought would happen. However, I doubted because I had gone with some other friends and I didn’t want to leave them alone. I told them about my chance and they practically pushed me out of the line and told me to go there; though they didn’t really believed me. We met this guy and another girl and ran to where we thought the M&G was going to be held. I can’t tell how I entered the M&G, I’ll just say I was extremely lucky and an angel was with me all the time. When we got in the line we had to do so as to meet Justin I started crying. It was time, he was there, and there was no turning back. I couldn’t believe what was about to happen: I WAS GOING TO MEET HIM. Me and my bff were hugging and telling each other that we were actually going to see him, that finally something would go right for us. Somehow, we were the first ones in the line. “Only five people, it doesn’t matter who you enter with!” a woman said, the two of us grabbed each other and entered the room Justin was in, waiting for the next five fans. I was paralyzed, he was actually there. So skinny yet muscular, so beautiful, so perfect. I saw Kenny too, who was talking to Justin and I tried to say him something but he didn’t listen. However, Kenny moved away and I finally had Justin in front of me. He looked me in the eyes and smiled. “Hi!” he told me. I was completely shocked, I told myself to hug him and he hugged me back; it was magical, I was there, it was him, he was so perfect and smelled so freaking good. I ended the hug because he would think it was too much but I think he realized how I was shaking, so he hugged me AGAIN. Then, two other little girls came in and he said, “Hello hello”, as he was still with his left arm around me and his right one around my bff (I am the one with the purple jacket). We took the picture and they told us to go. I was on my way to leave, still shocked, and crying my happiness out when I suddenly see my friend throwing him a kiss. I was like wtf, so I turned around to see his reaction, he looked at her and threw her a kiss and ended it with the peace sign and looked at me too and smiled. That was it, my life was even more complete than two seconds ago. We went out and my bff and I tried to hold each other as we cried our eyes out. We couldn’t believe it, it had to be a dream and he had been so nice to us! We were scared that he wouldn’t be as sweet as we thought because some girls came out saying he was too serious and didn’t spoke. Well, I rushed my way to find my friends who were already inside the stadium, fighting the slipping floor and the tears. I found my friends and told them that I had met him and the whole experience. Another 2 hours with heavy rain went by and Cobra Starship came onstage (they are amazing) and then the count down appeared on the screen. Justin came out on stage and put up a show like I have never seen before, it was awesome, even more than I expected. It was the best birthday I could have ever asked for and definitely the best day of my life . NEVER SAY NEVER, things so unexpected can happen to anyone.

Occupy Wall Street Cleanup Delayed, What Next?

Young demonstrators in Zuccotti Park tells MTV News they ‘can’t easily be thrown out of this space.’ By Joel Hanek Photo: Mario Tama/ Getty Images NEW YORK — On a damp Friday morning (October 14), thousands of protesters assembled in the city’s Zuccotti Park let out cheers of elation and relief. They had been facing what seemed to be an imminent confrontation with the New York Police Department after Mayor Michael Bloomberg visited the park on Wednesday evening and announced that a crew would move in to clean the area forcing the temporary eviction of demonstrators . While Occupiers were prepared to resist the mandatory evacuation, in the end, the private company that owns the park decided at the 11th hour to postpone any cleaning efforts. MTV News was on site at Occupy Wall Street in the early dawn hours tracking all of the events as they went down. At about 6 a.m. ET on Friday, organizers conducted a special general assembly of the Occupy Wall Street movement, informing the crowd that committed supporters who chose to stay in the park once the cleaners turned up would likely face arrest by the NYPD. But then, with minutes to go before the expected standoff, an organizer reported that were was “breaking news.” She went on to read a statement off of her iPhone , announced to the crowd, “I have an announcement from Brookfield Properties. I’d like to read a brief statement from Deputy Mayor Halloway: ‘Late last night we received notice from the owners of Zuccotti Park, Brookfield Properties, that they are postponing their cleaning.’ ” Supporters erupted into cheers and used designated Occupy sign language to express their approval. Soon, they were chanting “The people united / Will never be defeated.” Aaron Khandros, a student at Connecticut’s Wesleyan University, had traveled to New York City to show his support, knowing well that he might face arrest if he refused to leave the park. “We came out here because we thought that people were going to come out here and try and shut it down, that Bloomberg was using this cleaning thing as an excuse,” he explained. “This seemed like one of our last chances to express our solidarity with this crowd, so we came as quickly as we could.” Emma Francis-Snyder, an organizer with the Occupy Wall Street outreach program, had been on site since 4 p.m. on Thursday afternoon. Exhausted (but also rather thrilled) by the events of the previous 48 hours, she explained how the group had spent an anxious night. “We’ve relocated a bunch of our materials to a storage space because we weren’t sure what was going to happen,” Francis-Snyder said, citing the experiences of Occupy Denver and Occupy Austin, where movements had been shut down under the pretext of sanitation. In a bid to be proactive, the Wall Street occupiers decided to clean the park themselves. “There was a lot of stress throughout the night just trying to clean,” Francis-Snyder said hours before the postponement was announced. “There were people working endlessly, tirelessly, trying to gather all of our belongings; trying to figure out what to do with them, where to go. It is what it is — whatever’s going to happen, is going to happen.” Although they had prepared for the worst, some demonstrators said the final outcome was not unexpected. “I think I was in shock. I wasn’t entirely surprised because if you come out here, there are at least maybe 2,000 people out here, and I think that the Mayor knows that the whole world is watching,” Senia Barragan, an organizer with Occupy Wall Street’s press committee, told MTV News. “And they know that we’re a serious movement that can’t easily be thrown out of this space.

Tom Morello Occupies Wall Street As City Tightens Grip

Protesters start to clean Zuccotti Park on Thursday in hopes of avoiding a city eviction. By James Dinh, with additional reporting by Steven Roberts Tom Morello Photo: MTV News In hopes of avoiding a city eviction from Zuccotti Park, protesters involved in the Occupy Wall Street movement began voluntary cleanup efforts Thursday afternoon (October 13). It’s an attempt urged by park occupiers themselves after Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced Wednesday that protesters would have to temporarily evacuate the grounds by 7 a.m. Friday for a four-weeks-overdue mandatory cleanup. Because some viewed the city order as a means to end the protest, the Liberty Park occupiers have started to remove debris and scrub the sidewalks. MTV News caught up with Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello , who appeared at the protest Thursday and offered his support for the Occupy Wall Street movement. “Every successful, progressive and radical movement needs a soundtrack and I’m just helping to provide,” he told us. Morello was on hand to play a number of songs with his harmonica and guitar, including cuts from his World Wide Rebel Songs LP. “I played at Occupy L.A. last Saturday and Occupy Wall Street today now, and it’s a movement now that’s in 13,000 cities across the country, and it’s growing every day,” he told MTV News. “I think the sky’s the limit. There’s no telling what this is going to be, and [if] you’re watching now in your town, you can begin occupying your town today.” Morello is just one of a string of celebrity supports who have showed up to the now-dubbed Liberty Park, including Kanye West and Russell Simmons . If the city and the park’s owners, Brookfield Properties, still proceed with the protesters’ eviction and cleanup process, it will cause a bit of a dent in the protest. According to The New York Times, Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly told reporters Thursday afternoon that the protesters will not be allowed to take their sleeping and camping gear back into the park after the cleanup. Zuccotti Park has had a ban on sleeping bags for weeks now as part of the grounds’ rules, but has yet to enforce the guidelines. Colin Harris-Mctigue, a volunteer organizer and coordinator of the outreach program for Occupy Wall Street, also spoke to MTV News recently about how the community formed. “The way [the outreach program] started was one day at 3 o’clock, we stood up and said, ‘Does anyone want to join an outreach committee?’ And that was the foundation. It was two people. And from there, we now have over 2,000 in our data list,” Harris-Mctigue explained. Share your thoughts on the ongoing Wall Street protests in the comments below.

Electric Daisy Carnival Brings 2012 Party Back To Vegas

Insomniac’s 16th annual EDM festival will take place June 8-10, 2012. By Gil Kaufman The Electric Daisy Carnival Photo: Getty Images Las Vegas has plenty of classic blinking-light distractions, and one of the brightest, loudest new attractions to blaze across the city’s famous skyline has re-upped for another year: The Electric Daisy Carnival will return to Vegas in 2012 for another three days of EDM madness over the June 8 weekend.

More than 230,000 people attended this year’s event, which featured such dance giants as David Guetta, Swedish House Mafia, Skrillex, Afrojack and Wolfgang Gartner . “When [show producer] Insomniac decided to produce EDC in Las Vegas last June, we knew we were working with the ideal venue, but we weren’t sure how our fans would react,” Insomniac President and CEO Pasquale Rotella said in a statement announcing the return to Vegas. “But after seeing more than 230,000 people show up to enjoy our show, we knew we picked a city and venue that serves as the perfect home for the largest electronic music festival in North America.” The first Las Vegas edition of the show proved to be a spectacle perfectly suited to the desert getaway’s glitz and won the Festival of the Year award at September’s 2011 DJ Awards in Ibiza. Fans were treated to not only sweaty days and nights of the best EDM music on the planet on six stages, but also such attractions as carnival rides, nightly drop-ins by glowing parachutes, daytime pool parties at hotels all along the Strip, 13 large-scale art installations, full fireworks displays and baller helicopter rides that whisked VIPs to and from the festival grounds.

Uncle Luke Calls Out Lil Wayne & Diddy For Disrespecting Miami

Continued here:

It’s no secret that rappers from around the country have been taking their talents to South Beach, turning Miami into their personal playground. However, longtime resident of Miami-Dade county Luther “Uncle Luke” Campbell is taking exception to everyone taking from his city but giving nothing back. In a letter to the Miami New Times, the legendary Luke took aim at Lil Wayne, Diddy, DJ Khaled and others: “I’ve got a message for Lil Wayne, his Cash Money Brothers, DJ Khaled, Puff Daddy and all the rappers from other parts of the country who now live in Miami. I’m tired of seeing these cats using up our beaches, soaking up our sunshine, taking over the nightclubs, and sleeping with our women without investing anything into the community. I want to know when Lil Wayne is going to do more than show up courtside at the American Airlines Arena. Hell, it’s not like he paid for them anyway. You know he got comped.” “This free loading and mooching of my city has got to stop. There used to be a day when out of town rappers were scared to throw their weight around Miami. It didn’t matter if they were coming from New York or Los Angeles, they knew better than to act like they owned this motherfu**er.” READ THE FULL LETTER AT VLADTV.COM RELATED POSTS: EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Uncle Luke Talks Marriage, Hip Hop Honors At Birthday Bash 15!

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.

Drake Takes Center Field In ‘Headlines’ Video

Drizzy puts Toronto hometown on full display in latest Take Care clip. By Rob Markman Drake (file) Photo: Getty Images All Drake cares about is money and the city that he’s from, and in his “Headlines” video Drake puts both on full display. Standing center field in Toronto’s Rogers Centre, Drizzy adjusts his black Toronto Blue Jays baseball cap as the stadium’s scoreboard is lit up with the title of his October 24 album, Take Care. The Young Money soldier released the clip on Sunday through his October’s Very Own blog , three weeks before his sophomore LP is set to drop. Directed by OVO crew members Lamar Taylor and Hyghly Alleyne, “Headlines” doesn’t necessarily follow a narrative but instead places Drake in a few different scenes, performing his rhymes for the camera and contemplating his comeback. “I might be too strung out on compliments, overdosed on confidence,” the MC spits as he emerges from a blockade of his stoic-looking crew embers. From there, we see Drake rapping in front of a rundown building with the letters “OVOXO” sprayed in graffiti on the wall, and then spitting his verse in a high-rise elevator. Interestingly enough, no other members of the Young Money team appear in the video; no cameos from Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj or Cash Money’s Birdman. It is a family affair, however. By the start of the second verse, Drake sits at the head of a dining table, puffing on a cigar with an assortment of wine bottles scattered about. Members of his team sit with him in a “Sopranos”-style, La Cosa Nostra scene. It isn’t the over-the-top video Kanye West directed for Drizzy’s “Best I Ever Had” . Instead “Headlines,” like the previously released “Marvins Room” video (also from Take Care ), is set in Canada and gives a more intimate look into who the superstar rapper really is. As the clip comes to a close, Drake is once again standing center field in Roger’s Centre as the stadium’s dome opens to reveal Toronto’s skyline. Who says you can’t go back home?

Jamie Foxx Clarifies Hairdo, On ‘When I Was 17’

‘I had the major curl, not the Jheri curl,’ he explains on new episode, airing Saturday at 11 a.m. ET/PT on MTV. By Sara Waber Jamie Foxx Photo: MTV Jamie Foxx reveals the appalling misconception of his hairdo during the ’80s on this week’s episode of “When I Was 17,” airing Saturday at 11 a.m. ET/PT on MTV. “When I was 17, I had the major curl, not the Jheri curl,” Foxx says. “A lot of people get it twisted and confused, and they say ‘Jheri curl.’ ” What’s the difference, you’re wondering? He explains, “I had the little curls in the front and the big ones in the back.” His friend Gilbert shares who else worked this ‘do: “I would link the major curl to women or pimps, for the most part.” But growing up in a small town in Texas, Jamie’s major curl must have helped him stand out from the crowd. “Where I grew up was Terrell, Texas, right outside of Dallas: 12,000 people, a small town where everybody knew everybody,” he says. Besides maintaining his hairdo, Foxx tells us how he spent the rest of his time when he was 17: “It was just real simple. It was about having a crush on a girl, walking her from the football stadium, holding hands. You go park, and the cops bang on the door, ‘What y’all doing?’ ” Nobody likes a flattened major curl. “When I Was 17” — this week featuring Jamie Foxx, Tia and Tamera Mowry, and Chris Bosh — airs Saturday at 11 a.m. ET/PT on MTV.

T.I. Drops ‘I’m Flexin’,’ His First Post-Prison Track

Big K.R.I.T. produced the song and is featured on the chorus. By Alvin Blanco T.I. Photo: Getty Images T.I. just completed his 11-month prison sentence Thursday, and he’s already dropping musical heat. On Friday (September 30), the Atlanta rapper released his first post-prison single, “I’m Flexin’,” featuring Big K.R.I.T. The song was originally due for release Monday , but instead, fans are getting an end-of-the-week treat. The multitalented K.R.I.T., whose debut album’s release has been pushed back to next year, handles the song’s chorus and production, while T.I. delivers three verses with a double-time flow, using the song to assert that he is officially back. “My hustle grand, my money long, my spot on top but y’all want that/ My position vacant, my crown away but my throne is empty, I own that,” he spits on the second verse over the instrumental’s nimble drums, keys and electric guitars. T.I. appeared on New York radio station Hot 107, giving his first interview since being released from prison. During his chat, T.I. gave praise to the current movement in his hometown of Atlanta with the surge of new rappers and said that the city needs his help. Later Friday, Tip will celebrate his birthday at Atlanta’s Club Esso. Since his return to a halfway house to finish his federal sentence, Tip has appeared on songs with 2Chainz (“Spend It” remix), Future (“Magic” remix) and Young Jeezy (“F.A.ME.”). But “I’m Flexin’,” which was released via Tip’s TrapMuzik.com website, is the first song credited as his own. Also made available was an excerpt from the trap rapper’s upcoming novel, “Power & Beauty: A Love Story of Life on the Streets,” co-written with David Ritz, which will be released October 18. As for more music, a message Thursday on Tip’s Twitter reveals that fans can expect a few more remixes from the “Rubberband Man” shortly. “N!*%$ in Paris already a dun-datta…pending Ye&J’s approval. ‘Sleezy’ w/Ke$ha & ‘Magic’ w/Future too…what else???” he tweeted. “The record is hot,” DJ Drama, T.I.’s longtime collaborator , told MTV News about “I’m Flexin’ ” earlier this week. “Big K.R.I.T. deserves it. He’s been working for a long time. So they’re both fans of each other, so sh– is definitely gonna be a nice sound for the ear.” What do you think of “I’m Flexin’ “?
