President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama offered a special tribute to those who serve our nation and the families who support them unconditionally, while encouraging all Americans to give in their own way in his weekly address. “Giving of ourselves; service to others – that’s what this season is all about. For my family and millions of Americans, that’s what Christmas is all about,” he said. “It reminds us that part of what it means to love God is to love one another … to be our brother’s keeper and our sister’s keeper. But that belief is not just at the center of our Christian faith, it’s shared by Americans of all faiths and backgrounds.” “So whatever you believe, wherever you’re from, let’s remember the spirit of service that connects us all this season – as Americans. Each of us can do our part to serve our communities and our country, not just today, but every day.” Here’s Barack and Michelle’s address to the nation: Obama Christmas Address
It was an ugly scene today at malls around the country as shoppers lined up and fought it out over the new Air Jordans. In Atlanta there was a stampede.

From USA Today (one of several news reports around the country on Friday): Here’s an ABC report showing frenzied shoppers rushing a mall in Indianapolis early Friday morning to buy the new $180 Air Jordan Retro XI shoes.

The holidays always bring out the crazy, but this is absurd. A version of Nike’s Air Jordan 11 Retro Concord shoe went on sale at midnight, with crowds lining up at stores across the country before they were even open. An early crowd in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, outside D.C., had to dispersed by police this morning after chaos and unruliness ensued, authorities said. In Loudoun County, Virginia, more than 250 people gathered in a parking lot at the Dulles Town Center Mall because of advertised sales starting at 3 p.m. Some managed to enter the mall before it opened, authorities said, overwhelming deputies and mall security and prompting frantic calls for assistance. No arrests were made, though one woman suffered a leg injury and a pickpocketing was reported. Tickets for entry were later distributed by lottery. In Annapolis, mall security requested police assistance around 5:30 a.m. Friday when an impatient crowd grew to over 500 people, according to reports. In Indianapolis, a store’s door was torn off its hinges, while an Atlanta crowd also knocked down doors, and police had to pepper spray Seattle mall-goers. Hey. This is a once-in-a-lifetime basketball shoe. Burns from pepper spray heal eventually, but there will never be another MJ. Just think about that.
There is some new show called Night Terrors that I’ve never heard of because I don’t have a TV…..they had their second episode on December 21 and this Katie Groshong bitch, who you probably recognize as Richard’s Assistant in Country Strong, a movie I love only because Gwyneth Paltrow killed herself in it….something I wish transitioned into her everyday life, but that never will because she’s too into herself….but seriously…we need another celebrity death, why can’t it be her?! That said, Katie Groshong is showing tit on this new unknown to me show…and here are the clips….watch them….cuz any show with nudity is a show for me…we’re making progress people. Here’s another clip….
She’s a polish model and she’s showing tit because it is better than waiting in line for rationed bread….It is better than training circus bears….and it is better than being human trafficked by the Russian mob and being forced into a life of prostitution and porn….at least for her…cuz I’m more into the whores who have no choice but to be there….you know when whoring is the only option… She’s 18 or at least that’s what she says on her forged documents used to leave the country….so these are some teenage tits for fashion and don’t look at them as a pervert…loook at this as the art it was intended to be….Roman Polanski.
Hi, my name is Nicole, I’m 18 years old from Toronto! This is actually my third Bieber Experience I am writing. I was lucky enough to have this happen to me last year. (This is about the picture on the right) On December 20th, I was on Much Music to compete for tickets to see Justin Bieber at his “Home For The Holiday’s” Performance . I got second place but was still lucky enough to get a pair of floor seat tickets. Right after Much Music, I had found out that Justin arrived in Toronto and was doing rehearsals at the venue! So of course, we ran there and got there as soon as possible. No one was outside except Scrappy, then came along Alfredo and Allison; we knew we were in the right place. After saying a few things to the crew, they all went inside the venue. I put my ear against the door and all I could hear was Justin rehearsing! It was amazing of course! About an hour after three security guards including Kenny came out of the door. My heart started racing because I knew that wherever Kenny was, Justin was too. Just 5 minutes after security came out, Chaz, Ryan and Caleb walked out. Then Alfredo, Allison, Jeremy, and finally Justin! He said Hi and then quickly went into his car. We were all yelling, “Please Justin we’ve been waiting here in the cold, all we want is one picture!” Justin opened up his door and took pictures. I had asked Kenny to take the picture with my iPhone, and he didnt put on the flash, thats why its so dark! After Justin was done, he left and said bye. (This is about the picture on the left) The next day, my alarm went off at 8:30am because I had a huge day ahead of me! As soon as I got downtown, my friend and I were meeting up with two of my good friends downtown. We were walking to pick up something and we saw Justin’s security walk into Starbucks, and then we see his hairdresser Vanessa, and then Alfredo with three drinks in his hands. Not long after that, Justin comes out. I saw him through the window and I waved. I said, “Can we get a picture Justin?” Him and Kenny both said yes but they pointed to the side doors because they wanted us to go there. I quickly got there and as he was coming out he smiled and took pictures with three of my friends but two didn’t because about 15 screaming, obnoxious girls must of scared him and he went into his car. Later on we experienced a Never say Never moment! We saw a van drive by us and right away it pulled over to the side of the road. The doors open and Scooter Braun came out. He asked us who didn’t have tickets, and who did. Two of my friends didn’t have tickets, so Scooter took down my friend’s name and gave her Row 2 tickets! I was so happy for them! At the concert, tears did not stop falling from my eyes! It was the best performance I have ever seen Justin do! The night ended amazing by running into Scooter Braun again and thanking him one last time for the ticket’s he had given my friends! Never Say Never! -@nicolecampea You can watch some videos from last night here The rest is here: Hi, my name is Nicole, I’m 18 years old from Toronto! This…
My name is Valery and I’m 16. My dream came true on October 19th. I was the last OLLG of the My World Tour. Everything started when I was checking the dates of My World Tour and I saw my country (Venezuela, Latin America) in that list, I was extremely excited for the concert! First I bought my ticket but I was really sad and disappointed because I bought a ticket with a horrible view but was still excited. That week I saw on Twitter that a fan club was selling tickets for the concert with a better view, I sold my old ticket and I told my mom. She said that I wasn’t going because we didn’t know if that ticket was a real one or a fake one and I know she was right. Those days were the worst for me, I cried so much. The day of the concert I was so excited, my best friends and I traveled to Caracas (I live in another city named Valencia), we arrived and I couldn’t believe it. I was so thankful for being there. The concert started and I was freaking out! When I saw Justin for the first time I couldn’t believe it, he is so sexy and beautiful I couldn’t believe that I was seeing my inspiration, singing my favorite song ‘Never Let You Go’. I was crying and I saw a blond girl (the translator of the tour) with a tall man. I smiled at her while I was crying, I didn’t even know her. Then she comes to me and asks, “Do you wanna be the OLLG?” and I said “YEAHHH”. I wanted to jump, scream, cry. I didn’t know what to do or what to think, I was shaking so hard. Backstage I met Alfredo, I hugged him I met Scooter, Carin, Kenny and all the crew. I hugged them all and talked with Scooter, he’s so awesome! Carin took my hand and I walked onto the stage and I sat in that famous chair. Omg it was like a dream and when Justin gave me the flowers and touched my face and hugged me, he showed me how much I worth am worth. ONE BOY, ONE SONG, ONE NIGHT- CHANGED MY ENTIRE LIFE! I’m so thankful with my God and I know how blessed I am! Beliebers never lose your faith, never give up AND NEVER SAY NEVER. God bless! xo See the article here: My name is Valery and I’m 16. My dream came true on…
‘I was just one of a few artists at a certain sort of time in radio where more dance music was being played on top 40,’ she tells MTV News. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Matt Elias Lady Gaga Photo: MTV News Lady Gaga burst on the scene in 2008 declaring that the world should “Just Dance.” From there, everyone kind of did. A few years back, the pop star was one of the few singers infusing mainstream pop records with electronic dance music influences. In the years since her breakthrough, Gaga’s use of the musical form has certainly gotten darker and more in-depth, especially on 2011’s Born This Way. These days, she’s hardly in the minority. EDM is all over pop and urban radio. Performers like Rihanna , Usher , Chris Brown and Nicki Minaj are working with some of the top EDM producers and DJs in the game, some of whom MTV has recognized as the Best EDM Artists of 2011 , churning out chart-topping, genre-busting tunes. When MTV News caught up with the Mother Monster earlier this month in L.A., she weighed in on 2011’s EDM/pop explosion, noting that she was hardly the main factor in the recent blast of crossover hits. “I think that radio has had the biggest influence on the rise of electronic dance music,” she said. “I was just one of a few artists at a certain sort of time in radio where more dance music was being played on top 40, but I’m not the person to thank for that. The people to thank for that are at KIIS-FM and at the other stations around the country who gave dance music a chance.” Not only is radio taking note, but also the whole music industry. Just last month, EDM star Skrillex was nominated for a Best New Artist Grammy, the first DJ recognized in that category ever. Gaga thinks there’s still room for growth. “I think we have some more work to do, especially with the different academies that honor music,” she said. “I think that dance music should also be credited as pop music where it’s due and vice versa, the way that country and pop is, the way that R&B and pop are. So we still have a ways to go, but it’s moving in a wonderfully fast and interesting direction.” Do you think Gaga influenced the popularity of EDM? Let us know in the comments!

Dutch magazine Jackie says story ‘had no racial motive at its basis.’ By Jocelyn Vena Rihanna Photo: Getty Images After Rihanna took to Twitter to respond to a racial slur used by Dutch fashion magazine Jackie in a recent article written about her, the magazine’s editor-in-chief, Eva Hoeke, has resigned from her position at the publication. In a press release translated by Parlourmagazine.com, the publishers of Jackie attempt to break down the sequence of events, including a Facebook apology from Hoeke about the article, followed by Rihanna’s tweets in response, and confirm that the editor has resigned, effective immediately. “I realize that my first reaction through Twitter, in which I indicated that it was a joke, has been an incomplete description of what me, and also the author of the article, meant. The term ‘n—abitch’ came from America and we solely used it to describe a style of dress. Because of the enormous pressure through social media I was tempted to promise amendment regarding the language in future issues of Jackie ,” Hoeke says in the lengthy statement. “Apart from that I also offered a rectification. I have now come to the conclusion that rectification is not the right solution. I regret that I have taken a stand too quickly regarding an article in Jackie — which moreover had no racial motive at its basis. Through the course of events, me and the publisher have concluded that because my credibility is now affected, it is better for all parties if I quit my function as editor-in-chief effective immediately,” it continues. “After putting my heart and soul into for Jackie for eight years, I realize that these errors — although not intended maliciously — are enough reason for leaving. … I should have counted to ten before taking un-nuanced stands through social media channels.” The magazine has extended an invitation to Rihanna “to share her feelings and thoughts on the article in the next issue.” A rep for the singer had not responded to MTV News’ request for comment as of press time.
