Forget batting averages with runners in scoring position. Toss out WHIP. Ignore the failed hit-and-runs. The 2011 World Series between the Rangers and the Cardinals has been all about the music, as a diverse trio of stars has opened three of the games with rousing versions of the national anthem. We had an American Idol winner (Scotty McCreery), the lead on Fox’s New Girl (Zooey Deschanel) and the latest young notch on Wilmer Valderrama’s bedpost . Who did his or her country most proud? Compare the versions below and then cast your vote… Scotty McCreery National Anthem Performance Zooey Deschanel Sings National Anthem Demi Lovato Sings the National Anthem WHO SANG THE BEST NATIONAL ANTHEM?
We have been beliebers since day ONE. Justin is our biggest inspiration, we always read this page dreaming that someday we could have our own bieberexperience , and the day is here! We have two mybieberexperience’s and we want to share it with you! The first took place at The Bahamas; June 12, 2010. W e went there for our first JB concert. We were staying at the same hotel as Justin. We were dying through the whole concert and cried the whole time because it was the best day of our lives. It was about to get better Justin told us to check Twitter for an afterparty. We thought he was kidding but anyway we did everything he said and at the end, he tweeted “Club Rush is open till two for the after party”. We ran like never before, there was a pretty big line to get in and we were the last ones to go inside. We went upstairs. The place was really small there and the music was good but Justin wasn’t there until 5 seconds later. The girls started to scream and then we saw him standing in front of us! I couldn’t believe it, he talked to us, then he started dancing just like a normal teenager. We will never forget that day, it was amazing but we didn’t get to take a picture with him. We went back home and just kept supporting him. Then just a few months ago, we were on vacation when they announced that Justin was coming to our country. We thought that was the best thing ever happening but we were wrong. Both of us had really good tickets like row 6 but that wasn’t enough, we really wanted to meet him! We saw that bieberfever.com was having a contest to meet Justin and we couldn’t loose the opportunity. We worked REALLY hard on our video for the contest but we never thought we were going to win because there were many other videos. On October 18th, we were at the airport waiting for Justin to arrive and suddenly Gaby’s mum called us. She told us that we won the M&G passes. We couldn’t believe it so we needed to check, ”Congratulations, Gabriela! You’re officially invited to attend the photo meet and greet TOMORROW, OCTOBER 19th in CARACAS!” It was true, we started to cry and scream, THAT was the best thing ever happened to us. It was October 19th, the day of the concert and we couldn’t think about anything else our dream was almost there! (Meeting Justin). We were on the way to the concert, really nervous and when we arrived we started to look for our passes. There was a women with a little list, we told her our names and she gave us our bracelets and told us to be back at 6pm next to the stage. There are no words to describe the feeling of meeting Justin, it was something UNREAL. He is perfect, his voice his face, everything we were speechless I couldn’t breathe, we gave him some Sour Patch Kids. He got really excited and then he said, “Thank You Very Much, GRACIAS, how are you girls?” He was really nice. We were paralyzed and we couldn’t believe what was happening. He grabbed us from our hips and they took the picture. Kenny was there too! The second after we said goodbye, we both started to cry really hard.Then the concert was WOW! We got to be in the 1 st row . We talked to Alfredo and Pattie . A day we will never forget, DREAMS DO COME TRUE FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS & NEVER SAY NEVER! – Gaby & Isa Here is the original post: We have been beliebers since day ONE. Justin is our biggest…
My name is Linda Fernanda Zetina Hernández and I am from a small town in Mexico. The day Justin tweeted, “I’m in Mexico City” or something like that, I told my mom and she agreed to come with me to find him. We went to the city that is 2 hours away from my house. We went to his the hotel and we followed the cars Justin went in. In the end, I didn’t end up seeing him. Then my mom and I got to the Foro Sol but we didn’t have tickets. I saw a group of girls that were screaming and crying so I asked them what happened? They told me, “We have M&G passes” and I started crying. I was like, “Really?!” They say yeah of course but I was still crying. Then one man from the staff saw me and I started begging him to let me in with Justin, so he hugged me and said me, “YOU WILL BE MY SPECIAL GUEST”. I think that was the best thing that someone could told say to me. I started to shake and cry even more. Then I got in the M&G and Justin was so cute. I was in so much shock, I didn’t even tell him how much I love him, how many times I was dreaming of this moment, but no, I only started to shake again. Justin hugged me and said, “Take it easy”. I thought that my heart would explode. After that I went to his hotel again but he didn’t go out. Then the next day we went to the concert. My mom was waiting for me outside of the Foro Sol because she didn’t have tickets. Then the BIEBER TEAM went out, saw her and recognized her from being at the hotel.They asked her why she wasn’t in the concert. My mom answered saying she didn’t have tickets, only her daughter did. One of them gave to my mom 2 tickets, in the first line. My mom was crying and she hugged them. Then she went to find me and told me that the Justin Bieber’s team gave her two tickets. I started to cry like crazy! All the beliebers that were with me were crying too because we were so happy. Then in the concert, Justin started to sing ‘U Smile’. Justin sang to me a little and I was practically falling down. My mom started to give me some air waving a piece of paper. Justin also ended up throwing his hat to me, but it fell near the stage so someone in the team gave it to me! All of this was really a dream that I didn’t think would come true. It really was the best thing that ever happened in my life. All the Bieber team and Justin Bieber are angels that come here just to make us happy and show us that believe. Never say Never is the most important thing that you have to do to make your dreams come true . God bless you Justin. I hope that you stay with us a lot of time and if the other beliebers don’t, I will be there for you forever & always because you are the best thing that ever happened in my life, thanks a lot. Bieber team thanks for everything. Every time I remember the moments, I cry from happiness because I just can’t beliebe that all that happened to me. -Linda Continue reading here: My name is Linda Fernanda Zetina Hernández and I am from a small…
“Permed Up” Al Sharpton is at it again, talking that yang. This time, it’s about people that aren’t Tyler Perry fans. Al Sharpton honored Tyler Perry at his National Action Network event and he went off on people that criticize Perry’s work. He called Black detractors “proper negroes”. He went on: “This man never apologized for who we were…The ultimate pride is where you don’t have to bend and adjust for others to accept you. … He didn’t go mainstream, he brought mainstream to us.” And Perry gave his speech after accepting the award while also acknowledging the haters. “When you start out and you’re doing things and you’re trying to do the right things, and you find these attacks happening, and you try and figure out, ‘How do you handle this? How do you deal with this? How do you go there?’ So to have someone like you who has done all that you have done … and have inspired and encouraged and fought for so many people, to stand here and to give me this award, this is really, really awesome…” “I stayed with who we are, and what I wish I could get us to understand as a people is that instead of getting your education and running from us, you need to ground and root yourself in who we are. Every other culture in this country knows the value of us as black people but we don’t know it ourselves,” “Somebody said to me about the ‘House of Payne,’ ‘Why do you have fat black people on television?’ Because there are fat black people in the world. It’s not a stereotype. This is who we are, we need to stop running from our parents and our grandparents and our uncles, we need to stop running from them and embrace them.” “I have the ear of the people, and I would be a fool to walk away from the gift that God has given me because somebody out there, a few people out there, have a problem with it,” Well then. Take that, haters. Of course, Tyler Perry donated $200,000 to Sharpton’s organization. We’re sure that didn’t have anything to do with Al giving the ringing endorsement.
Here’s a stable fat bitch going nuts about Africa, Immigration, politics, slavery in one of the most convincing and educated ways, all directed at the owners of a Kwik-E-Mart because they charged her $0.15 for a glass of water…..which is totally fucking sane….it is a few days old, but never old when it reflects the state of America and the people who inhabit the country so nicely….
“You have to have capital markets in this country,” Hollywood star Alec Baldwin said Tuesday at an Occupy Wall Street audience with wearechange.org. Baldwin emphasized the risk of allowing Paulites to “shutter” the Federal Reserve, and he declined to support Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas), but he kept an open mind about monetary policy: In this crazy hill of beans world where 49 percent of Occupiers supported… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : Reason Magazine – Hit & Run Discovery Date : 19/10/2011 13:26 Number of articles : 5
At home, like in the economic sector, Barack Obama would like to instill a few regulations for the common good. But he doesn’t always succeed. Case in point: Keeping Up with the Kardashians . Even the most loyal Tea Party members might have trouble deciding: Who is worse for this country? In a new interview with iVillage, Michelle Obama says she and her husband keep an eye on what daughters Sasha and Malia watch on television, but they can’t control all programming choices. “Barack really thinks some of the Kardashians – when they watch that stuff – he doesn’t like that as much,” the First Lady said , clearly trying to choose her words carefully. “But I sort of feel like… if they’re learning the right lessons, like, that was crazy, then I’m like, okay.” In other words: the actions of Kim Kardashian and kompany are crazy! But, hey, even if Tea Party members want you to believe this isn’t true with Obama in charge, it’s a free country. Watch what you want.
Michael Jackson’s daughter Paris is a known football enthusiast. Still, this may not be the best outlet for her, we’re thinking. The 13-year-old is being recruited to be the face of an organization that swears it’s helping break down barriers for women in the sport … which sounds awesome. The only problem is it’s the Lingerie Football League. When Paris Jackson became the first female at her private school to join the flag football team earlier this month, the LFL took notice … and had no shame. They fired off a letter to the Michael Jackson Estate in the hopes that Paris would be the spokesperson for the league’s “youth program.” Don’t hold your breath. LFL Commissioner (yes, there is such a position) Mitchell S. Mortaza laments the “lack of options for competitive female football” and looks to her for help. Mortaza says the league will “be introducing youth clinics across the country to introduce the game of football to young ladies at an earlier stage in life.” “We would like to invite Paris to become the spokesperson for the LFL’s youth program and perhaps train for a career in the LFL when she reaches age 18.” It’s true that girls miss out on football, but don’t ask us how Paris promoting a league where women prance around in lingerie is a good way to mentor kids. Britney Spears , on the other hand, would be a GREAT fit.
The Occupy Wall Street protest movement may be loosely organized, but protesters in New York and in other cities around the country are firmly united in opposition to one faceless entity: Corporations. So how would the denizens of Zuccotti Park feel about a $250 million Hollywood studio film about a billionaire playboy hero coming to town to potentially use their protests as a backdrop?
Republican Presidential hopeful Herman Cain is sorry, kind of, and says he was kidding, sorta, for a recent comment about an electric fence protecting the U.S. Suddenly a bona fide contender for his party’s nomination in ’12, the Georgia businessman is now facing more intense scrutiny as his poll numbers surge up. As such, his off-the-cuff comments are coming back to bite him at times … such as when he called for an electric fence along the U.S. border with Mexico. Campaigning in Arizona, Herman Cain appeared with Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, an aggressive anti-immigration proponent. “It was a joke,” Cain said. “I apologize if I offended anyone. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea culpa.” However, the Phoenix New Times reports it might not be a joke . Cain doesn’t want to offend anyone … but he was kinda serious about the electric deal: “I don’t like to offend anyone, however, I don’t apologize for using a combination of a fence. And it might be electrified, I’m not walking away from that.” “I don’t want to offend anybody. It was a joke to an extent, but I fully intend to do what we need to do because I’m sensitive to our citizens being hurt.” So he supports it, unless you don’t? Spoken like a true politician. Cain told an audience Saturday that his border fence is “going to be electrified. And there is going to be a sign on the other side that says, ‘It will kill you.'” Well, at least he would put a sign up, right? Rep. Charlie Gonzalez (D-Texas), who chairs the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, took issue with the presidential contender’s remarks. Gonzalez said: “Words have consequences, both in shaping ideas and inspiring actions. Whether or not he made his comments in jest, Mr. Cain’s words show a lack of understanding of the immigration issues our country is facing and a staggering lack of sensitivity.” Herman Cain …
