David Beckham to Retire from Professional Soccer

The world of professional soccer football futball sports is about to get far less handsome. David Beckham has announced that he is retiring at the end of this season. “I’m thankful to PSG for giving me the opportunity to continue but I feel now is the right time to finish my career, playing at the highest level,” Beckham said in a statement. The Paris Saint-Germain midfielder has also played for Manchester United, Real Madrid and the Los Angeles Galaxy, winning league titles in four countries overall. “If you had told me as a young boy I would have played for and won trophies with my boyhood club Manchester United, proudly captained and played for my country over one hundred times and lined up for some of the biggest clubs in the world, I would have told you it was a fantasy. I’m fortunate to have realized those dreams,” Beckham said. Beckham owns the British record for making 115 appearances with the national team. It’s unclear exactly what he’ll do when his playing days are done, but it’s safe to assume more David Beckham underwear ads are on the way. Concluded the attractive baller: “I want to thank all my teammates, the great managers that I had the pleasure of learning from. I also want to thank the fans who have all supported me and given me the strength to succeed.”

My name is Marsela, and I still can’t believe that I am…

My name is Marsela, and I still can’t believe that I am about to write my very FIRST Bieber Experience! I attended Justin’s concert in Moscow, Russia on April 30th, 2013. I live in Nizhny Novgorod but luckily, my dad drove 6 hours to get me to that concert. The news about Justin’s concerts in Russia spread around in the beginning of November 2012. I quickly bought the tickets as soon as they were available. Unfortunately, our country didn’t sell the M&G passes, so I was utterly frustrated. Time went by but I still didn’t give up on trying to find a way of meeting Justin. It was the end of March already when I found out about the BieberFever contest. Although I was sure I am a total loser, I decided to give it a try and kept my fingers crossed. Guess what…I WON! Oh my goodness! I can’t express how happy, cheerful and shocked I was. I was just on cloud nine, especially because I had received the message 15 hours before the actual meet and greet. When we arrived to the venue, the state of my mind and soul was insane. We waited for Justin for over an hour but trust me, every second was worth the meeting. When it was my turn, I felt as if my heart was going to jump out of my chest. I saw Justin and the time just stopped for me. I stood right in front of him saying “Hello” and I COULDN’T BELIEVE MY EYES. Justin was just too good to be true. Justin’s bodyguard (Dustin, I think) put me to the left as apparently I was paralyzed and mesmerized by Justin’s beauty. After that, I don’t know why I asked Justin, “Can I stand there?” Justin answered me with BY FAR THE KINDEST AND SWEETEST VOICE I had ever heard, “Stay wherever you want.” OMG! You probably can imagine how stressed I was. It came as a surprise to me that I look quite put-together in the photo although it was snapped a second after this conversation had happened. I don’t remember everything clearly but right after the “photo session,” I grabbed Justin’s hand and I believe, Justin grabbed my other hand. It may sound weird but we rubbed each other’s hands for like 10 seconds, it was 10 seconds of HEAVEN. My emotions took over me and I couldn’t let him go. During these seconds I managed to tell Justin that I love him. Finally, I went out of the room and literally burst into tears of happiness and I felt on top of the world. I couldn’t embrace the fact that I had met my inspiration and that we talked and held each others’ hands. By the way, at that time I was 17 years old. My birthday was on May 2nd, I couldn’t ask for any better present on my 18th birthday. Speaking of the show, it was PURE PERFECTION. I am speechless. Hands down! Every song Justin sang gave me so much energy and joy. After everything was over, I had a bittersweet feeling. I was a little bit sad because this fairytale ended. However, I can truly call it the highlight of my life! Something tells me that someday I will meet Justin again. Looking back, I am extremely grateful for this journey. From the bottom of my heart I’d like to say “THANK YOU, JUSTIN” for every single thing you do for us. I hope that maybe one day you’ll come across my story and even remember me. Every belieber deserves to meet Justin. That’s why I genuinely think that by reading my experience you’ll realize that, “ALL HUMAN WISDOM IS CONTAINED IN THESE TWO WORDS – WAIT AND HOPE.” Thanks to Justin now I know that ‘never say never’ does work and that everything is possible if you believe. -@Marselenia Go here to see the original: My name is Marsela, and I still can’t believe that I am…

I’m Neuza, I’m 20 years old and I’m from…

I’m Neuza, I’m 20 years old and I’m from Portugal . I remember always thinking, *Justin will never come to Portugal* but then in 2012 they announced that he was coming in 2013! Finally my idol was coming to my country after 4 years of waiting. The moment I had my ticket in my hand, I knew that I had to meet him, to hug him and tell that I love him. I started to participate in so many contests. One day, one of my friends created an account on Bieberfever but she said that she didn’t have enough merchandise to win the contest so I decided to take a picture of my stuff and she could send it, since the winner wins a double 2 M&G’s. On Sunday, the day before the concert, I was talking with that friend on skype and after a while she started saying, “OMG OMG, NEUZA WE ARE GOING TO MEET JUSTIN, WE WON!” I started crying so much, I couldn’t believe it. On the day of the concert I was there from 6 a.m. with my other friend that was going to meet Justin. I had tears in my eyes but I was in shock while we were in line. Suddenly, Justin put his head out of the curtains saying that they could start and we started screaming, “JUSTIN, JUSTIN!” The energy was amazing. When it was my time to enter I was shaking so much. They took the picture but before we had to go. I hugged him and I knew at that moment that all I went through to support him was worth it. When I left the hug, he looked into my eyes and smiled and I smiled too. I even hugged Alfredo and said Hi to Jeremy and Jaxon. When I left the M&G I was shaking, crying, and to be honest it was the best day of my life. I always read “My Bieber Experience” but I always thought that I would never be able to write my own. Dreams do come true, you just have to believe. -@NeuzaC13 Continue reading here: I’m Neuza, I’m 20 years old and I’m from…

I have no idea how am I supposed to put into words everything…

Originally posted here:

I have no idea how am I supposed to put into words everything that I’m feeling right now but here is my Bieber experience. My name is Polina, I’m 16 years old and I live in Moscow. When the dates for the Believe Tour were released, Russia wasn’t on the list at first, but after a few weeks they finally added us with 2 concerts: Saint-Petersburg and Moscow. My best friend Ani and I bought tickets for the fan-zone as soon as we could and we couldn’t stop freaking out. This would not be my first Bieber concert because I’ve seen Justin during the My World Tour in 2010 for the first time, and then at a free concert in NYC on June 15th 2012. This upcoming concert would be a completely different thing because I would be going with my best friend and Justin would be performing in my country. We’ve been dreaming about this day since the beginning of November 2009, the month we became beliebers. We’ve been there for him from the start, when the name Justin Bieber wasn’t even well known yet. As the concert got closer we started to think of ways to meet Justin. That’s when Ioana, an incredible person and friend, offered her help. We decided to enter the M&G contest that Bieberfever holds for every concert date. The day before the concert I refreshed my email literally every 5 minutes but when it struck midnight, I gave up. In the morning I woke up and decided to check Twitter when suddenly I saw that I got a new email. I opened it and saw, “Congratulations, Polina!” from the Bieberfever team and I started crying. I ran to my mom and she held me and laughed at me while I was bawling on her shoulder. I called my best friend and started crying on the phone! I could hear her crying too. I somehow managed to get myself together and Ani and I went to the arena. Before we knew it, the guy put the M&G wristband on me I knew that this was it. I was about to meet Justin. At approximately 6 p.m. they took us backstage and explained to us how everything was about to go down. The guy told us that we should get comfortable cause we might be waiting for a while. Finally after the longest 2 and a half hours of my life they finally told us to line up. I can’t even begin to describe how I felt when I saw Justin. Well to begin, I didn’t even recognize him at first. The space was very dark and there was a bunch of people but then I noticed him. To be honest, I expected him to be a bit taller. He was wearing a brown leather jacket, a white t-shirt and jeans and the whole outfit made him look so tan. His skin was perfect, it’s like he was a doll, like he wasn’t even real.  I stared at him for what felt like forever when I heard him say, “Hey hey.” He looked so happy and he waved for us to come closer. I was so starstruck but I somehow managed to say, “Can we please have a hug?” and he said, “Yeah, yeah,” and smiled. His voice was perfect. I looked at his face and couldn’t believe that my whole world was standing right in front of me. Even though he wasn’t smiling in our picture, he was really happy during the M&G itself which made me really happy. Seeing him smile is what matters the most to me. He put his hand on my shoulder and I heard Mike say “Ready..?” and I tried to make a decent face (well I tried to not drool at least). He took 2 pictures and Justin gave us a half hug, he sort of held us closer to him for a second, squeezed us and I’m pretty sure I wasn’t breathing at that moment. Then security started pushing us out and then I knew that this was the last chance that I’m gonna get to say something.  As we walked out backwards, still looking at Justin I said, “Justin, you changed my life completely,” and he looked at me, smiled and winked. What happened next is a blur, the next thing I remember is Ani hugging me, screaming and crying. I could not believe that I just met him, after almost 4 years of supporting him, I finally met him. I’ve dreamt about this for so many nights. I always thought how would I act, what would I say, what would he say – but never in my entire life did I think that it would actually happen. It’s an indescribable feeling. I look at my M&G photo and I still can’t believe that I met him. He held me, he smiled at me, for a few seconds I was there, standing next to him and for a moment he knew that he changed my life. I’m still taking it all in, still trying to understand how did I get so lucky. But the story doesn’t end here, there was still the concert. We went to the fan-zone and surprisingly got really good spots. We were standing in the 3rd row so basically 2 meters away from the stage and when Justin performed, he was so close so us. The concert was obviously amazing, and at some points I just gazed at him, and thought about how I was just hugging him a few moments ago. The concert ended around 11:40 p.m. and with the biggest smile on my face, Ani and I went home. In the subway the concert continued, beliebers chanted “Justin Bieber” and sang ‘Baby.’ It’s amazing how close Justin can bring so many people together. I woke up in the morning and my phone was blowing up from all the notifications I was getting. I didn’t understand what was going on but when I found out that Justin RTed my tweet that was 8 hours old. I started shaking and crying again. I was in complete shock, out of all the people that tweeted about the concert last night, he goes and RTs my tweet. He’s such a creeper but I love him for that. He made the whole experience even more special, and I thought that wasn’t possible. April 30th was the best day of my life. -@jbieberside More: I have no idea how am I supposed to put into words everything…

For Discussion: NYC Lawmakers Close To Approving Legislation That Would Allow Illegal Immigrants To Vote…Should Voting Rights Be Limited To Citizens Only?

NYC Lawmakers Considering Voting Rights For Illegal Immigrants Lawmakers in NYC are slated to begin discussing the approval of legislation that would give illegal immigrants the right to vote. via Fox News Hundreds of thousands of New York City immigrants could get the right to vote in local elections under a proposal before lawmakers. A City Council hearing is scheduled for Thursday on a plan to allow people who are in the country legally, but aren’t citizens, to vote. Advocates estimate that could be more than 800,000 people. Many U.S. states once let noncitizens vote, though policies changed by the 1930s. Some Maryland cities now allow it, and the idea has been floated in New York’s City Council for years. Supporters say immigrants who pay taxes deserve to decide who spends them. Opponents say voting should be reserved for citizens. New York state election law prohibits immigrants from voting, but supporters say the city has the right to set its own policies for local elections. What’s your stance on this, Bossip fam? Do you think it should be up to each individual state to decide whether or not illegal residents should be able to vote in their state? Continue reading

McKayla Maroney’s Bikini in a Bikini on Keek of the Day

I like to use these KEEK videos as a reminder to all you freaks, that this girl, is like 12. I get that she is an american hero, with all her Olympic Gold Medal winning. You know old enough to represent your country should mean old enough to masturbate to herin a bikini…..not to mention that she’s on TV now, which also cancels out her age to the perverts, because the media is serving her to the creepy fans on a platter….and sure we were all 17 years old once, and we all got drunk, high and fucked at 17, and the day we turned 18 and legal nothing changed….even 25 years later…I am still the fucking same…but I wasn’t on hormone therapy to stunt my growth to make me a winner…like she is…. All this to say, her gymnast body in a bikini at 17 creeps me out. Even if she was 18 it would creep me out. But I do appreciate her flexibility….
