This is how my MBE (Braun works too ;D) went. I had to move in…

This is how my MBE (Braun works too ;D) went. I had to move in December 2010 from Brisbane, Australia to California so I missed Justin’s concerts in both places! I gave up all hope on seeing everyone from the crew and Justin because he finished his whole tour and now was on vacation. I heard about the Saratoga concert and I was like “I HAVE to go to that concert no matter what” but I couldn’t because the tickets were so expensive.. but as Justin says NEVER SAY NEVER. He even followed me on 9 th June, so 2 days before the concert which just made me even more excited because I waited 1 year and 33 days for him to follow me. It was the day 11 th June, I decided to meet up with some girls on Twitter who had no tickets like me and two of them had camped out as well. There was 7 of us girls from the morning standing on the road with “HONK FOR BIEBER”, “FREE SCOOTER” and several other posters.  Then more and more girls came by and we were about a group of 15. We must’ve gotten about 1000 or more honks. But nothing happened for hours. Then we saw the police cars going up and down, patrolling. We approached one of them and asked about the Bieber crew and he said that they will be coming in a couple of hours and you guys are in the right spot. We were so pumped. As soon as we saw 2 black mini tour buses in a row, we knew it was the Bieber Crew : Anthony was in front in the 1 st bus and other dancers in the back but all we saw was Michael showing off his Estovar hoodie because the windows were really tinted, TC was in the front in the 2 nd bus but we couldn’t see clearly to make out who were in the back but we assumed it was the rest of the crew like Legaci (because I asked Chris and he replied today we sure saw you guys). We were so excited so we ran and I tripped when the buses turned the corner, so embarrassing. Then we were back to our spot still standing up with our posters and there was a blue car right in front of us and I was the closest one to it and guess who I see leaning on the winow? RYAN GOOD!! No one noticed him except me and then I pointed and was like “THAT’S RYAN GOOD” and everyone screamed and Ryan smiled at me. We were too excited to see him so we didn’t notice who was driving or who was in the back but some girls thought that Allison was driving and I have to say it was for sure a lady driving. We were all tired and exhausted but Justin hadn’t driven past yet so we still kept going with more honks. Then after an hour or so there appeared a black car with really tinted windows so we were sure that was Justin and yes we were right! We saw another bodyguard in the front seat and I then I saw KENNY in the middle. I didn’t see Justin but majority of the girls saw him or the back of his head. They said he was in the very back and that he waved and they could see his sunnies and his hair was short. I was kinda mad that I didn’t see him. None of them stopped for us, but we still kept saying NEVER SAY NEVER and that someone is going to come down. We checked everyone’s Twitter and they said soundcheck was starting but we didn’t lose hope and stood there. Soon after a police officer came by and told us that neighbours have complained about the sound and amount of distraction caused by us to the drivers because of all the honking and said he can just tell us to go home or call our parents now as it is not legal to honk in California without a specific reason but he told us very nicely to stop with all the honking and screaming and asked us to move further on the sidewalk because he thought we were very dedicated. We saw Scooter’s tweet, “in route to the show.  @jonmchu  see u soon brother ” and that pumped us all up and we decided that we have to get Scooter’s attention. We all stood in a line on the sidewalk with all our posters on the road and only three posters up and one of them said “FREE SCOOTER” and yes our plan was successful! He saw the poster and stopped the car, rolled down the window and told us to calm down so we did. Our group was really cooperative because we all followed what he said and gave everyone a chance to talk. He said nice poster and pointed at Katie, the girl holding the poster and then we started talking to him and he said “I have no idea what’s going on. I just got here” and suddenly I realised no one said hi to Carin so I was like “Is that Carin? Hi Carin” in the middle of Scooter talking and she waved at me. Then we told him how Sami and Anastasia had camped out last night and had been there since Friday morning. He replied with “I don’t even have tickets, it was all done by College Track and they didn’t even give me tickets” So I was like “Yeah College Track gave away the unsold tickets to their kids for free”, Scooter was like “REALLY?!?!” I was like “Yeah” and then he said “Look guys if I find any tickets up there I’ll come back” and then he left. We were all so shocked that we just talked to Scooter Braun and then I’m not sure why, but I started crying, it was all happy tears. Then we were all calming down and we were all sure that Scooter was gonna come back. We sat down and decided that if he comes back with tickets, then the 1 st choice is Sami and Anastasia because they worked hard for them. After an hour and a half, two police cars came by and said, “You guys are about to get very lucky”. Scooter came back and he was like, “Who made that “FREE SCOOTER” sign?” Sami and Ana went up and told him, while on the phone with her mom. Scooter took her phone and started talking to Beka’s mum and told her that Beka is a wonderful young lady and thanks for all the support. After the phone call he gave Sami and Ana two tickets to Justin Bieber concert and he said, “These are my tickets but I wanted to give it to you guys”. He asked us if we were happy that he gave them the tickets and we all screamed YES! He was gonna say bye but I interrupted asking if we can we get a picture with him and he was like, “You know what, I’m gonna come out and take pictures with everyone”.   I went up next and after the picture he hugged and he softly caressed my arm. Being the kind person he is, he took pictures with everyone there and by then some other girls had also joined us because they heard about how Scooter was there. After that he told us how everyone on Twitter talks about how Justin is changing and said, “ I am with the kid everyday and he is not changing at all, he’s as dedicated as ever and I am not just saying it ”. Scooter wanted us to let everyone on Twitter know that. He even asked Justin’s driver what he thinks about Justin, honest opinion and the driver said, “ He is a very kind kid ”. So everyone who hates on Justin or spreads rumours and thinks that they don’t see it, you are wrong because they do and yet they respect your opinions but opinion is one thing and clearly hating or judging someone you don’t even know personally is something else . STOP saying he is changing or spreading other lame rumours and you know who you are. It’s ridiculous that most of the times people saying stuff or making up lies are “beliebers”, seriously you are here to support him not judge him on his personal life or spread rumours. Then we took a group shot with the “FREE SCOOTER” poster. Then he told us all that we shouldn’t camp out or wait anymore because there are already too many people up there and Justin is going to be under tight security so we should all go home and be safe. We all took the picture and then he took Sami and Anastasia with him in his car to the concert! After that I cried again and we all hugged I met the most awesome beliebers that day and I met the SCOOTER BRAUN and CARIN! The whole Bieber crew saw us including Justin. And I ended my day by a tweet from TC. It was the happiest day of my life so far. Even though I still haven’t seen Justin I will NEVER SAY NEVER! It really does work. -@madbieberfan Read this article: This is how my MBE (Braun works too ;D) went. I had to move in…

Creflo Dollar Tells Former New Birth Members To Go Back, Compares Scandal To Car Wreck [VIDEO]

See the original post:

Calling Bishop Eddie Long his “friend” and “brother in the Lord,” World Changers Church pastor Creflo Dollar scolded former New Birth Missionary Baptist Church members, saying they need to return to New Birth. He added that if any ex-New Birth members were thinking of joining his College Park megachurch, they need to look elsewhere. Dollar’s sermon is also being criticized for comparing the sexual misconduct charges Bishop Eddie Long faced to a car wreck and having insurance. No stranger to controversy himself, Dollar’s Creflo Dollar Ministries received a grade of “F” for financial transparency by the organization MinistryWatch . As we previously reported, Long recently settled the high-profile case out of court despite a previous vow to fight the charges against him. What do y’all think about Creflo Dollar’s sermon?

He’s now on bail facing charges of criminal luring — which would be creepy enough without looking just like Christopher Walken .

New ‘Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides’ Trailer: Five Key Scenes

The new preview gives us a few clues about Jack’s journey to the Fountain of Youth. By Eric Ditzian Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow Photo: Disney We’ve just crossed the two-month mark; there’s now a mere 59 days until “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” shoves off and into theaters. What’s more, there’s now a brand-new trailer for Johnny Depp’s seafaring 3-D adventure flick, giving us important pieces of plot info and raising all new questions about what we’re going to see when the movie debuts. As we continue to count down the days until that premiere, let’s take a look at the new trailer’s five key moments. Looks Like They Took a Wrong Turn We’ve already seen a variation of this scene — Depp’s Captain Jack Sparrow walking under some kind of stone archway on an island — but in the new trailer, we see the camera push forward a little, giving us a peek at what’s on the other side: a ship perched on a cliff high above the water line. How’d it get there? Well, as we see throughout the new footage, the laws of physics get twisted in all sorts of funky ways. Just as compelling a question as what the ship is doing up there is: Whose ship is it? Speaking of ships, the Black Pearl is back in the mix, though this time it seems to be in the hands of nefarious Blackbeard (Ian McShane). And as Captain Barbossa explains, Blackbeard has made some unconventional improvements to the craft. “The rigging had come to life. Our own ship turned against us,” he tells Jack as we see shots of ropes whipping around like tentacles and plucking up pirates. What sort of dark magic does Blackbeard wield? A confusing one, no doubt, because after Sparrow gets caught up in the ship’s new powers, he blurts out, “Captain, I wish to report a mutiny. I can name fingers and point names!” We’ve seen plenty of mermaids floating through previous “Pirates” footage, but the new trailer gives us the most information yet about how these creatures fit into the storyline. Turns out, a mermaid is needed to locate the fountain of youth — that mythical place everyone in “On Stranger Tides” is trying to find. That explains why, as in earlier footage, we see a shot of a mermaid trapped in a seriously large fish tank. Captivity, however, can kill a mermaid. Given that under his tattoos and dreadlocks, Sparrow is a very moral guy, we suspect Jack might go from capturing a mermaid to setting one free. From the very first official “On Stranger Tides” photos , we’ve seen Jack being dragged into Old Royal Naval College by King George II’s guards and offered the job of finding the fountain of youth. But the captain isn’t one take to orders. How does he slip away from King George’s men? A clue seems to arrive in the form of Jack wearing a musty old wig and a bright red robe, just like a British judge: nothing like a clever disguise to help a pirate escape. As we mentioned, Jack’s quest for the fountain brings him into contact with lands in which the laws of physics don’t entirely apply. Early in the new trailer, for instance, a drop of water seems to fall upwards, hitting Jack’s hands as it goes. Here we see our hero in a sort of cave that has a roof of water. How exactly does something like happen? And, furthermore, how is he pulled up into the water as if by reverse gravity? We likely won’t get the full answer until the movie arrives on May 20.

Asheley Jewell Shows Progress, Recognizes Mom’s Voice

See more here:

Photo courtesy of the AJC Asheley Jewell remained in critical condition Friday, but her family says the 15-year-old is showing some progress, according to the AJC.com . As we previously reported, the Stephenson High sophomore was shot in the head last Saturday night in an apparent road rage incident on Old National Highway. None of the other passengers or the driver were injured. Jewell is the daughter of Kandi Burruss’ late fiance, A.J. Jewell, who died in 2009 after a fight outside the Body Tap strip club. “She is still technically listed as critical, but she does seem to recognize her mom’s voice, and she makes attempts to follow simple commands they give her, like to squeeze their hands,” her cousin, Ebony Phillips, told the AJC. “She can’t really do it physically but there’s a cognitive foundation they might be able to build on.” Friends and relatives will hold a candlelight vigil for Jewell on Saturday near the site of the shooting. The vigil starts at 7 p.m. at O’Reilly Auto Parts, 5549 Old National Highway in College Park. Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477. Read more at the AJC.com.

Jesus Take The Wheel: 29 Year-Old “Heart Attack Grill” Spokesperson Dies Weighing 575 Lbs

Blair River, the 575-pound spokesman for the Heart Attack Grill, an Arizona restaurant that serves shamelessly high-calorie burgers and fries, died Tuesday at the age of 29, following a bout of the flu. At 6 feet 8 inches tall, River garnered celebrity as the grill’s “Gentle Giant” when he became the face and advertising star of the medically themed restaurant — famous for its triple-bypass burgers, flatliner lard fries and server “nurses” donning uniforms fit for adult films. River came down with the flu last week, and after four days in the hospital, he succumbed to pneumonia, says Jon Basso, owner of the grill and close friend of River .Basso described River’s death as “tragic,” because he was a “young creative genius, a promising man whose life got cut short because he carried extra weight. Had he been thin, he would have had a tenfold opportunity to survive the pneumonia.” Though Basso goes by “Dr. Jon,” in line with the restaurant’s medical theme, he is not medically trained and so can’t speak to the role obesity might have played in River’s illness. The official cause of death for the hamburger model is still unknown. Medical professionals wouldn’t necessarily disagree with this link, however. “Obesity increases your risk for just about every condition, and it can make nearly every acute health problem worse,” says Keith Ayoob, director of the nutrition clinic at Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
