Kreayshawn’s Road From Smelly Cat To VMAs, On ‘When I Was 17’

‘That cat was disgusting. It would only poop in drains,’ Best New Artist nominee recalls of her pet as a teenager. By Kara Warner Kreayshawn Photo: MTV News This week’s new episode of “When I Was 17” is full of VMA Best New Artist nominees. Tune in to MTV on Saturday at 11 a.m. to hear stories of awkward teen memories from Big Sean , Tyler, the Creator and Kreayshawn. It wasn’t so long ago that 21-year-old hip-hop “it” girl Kreayshawn was 17 and starting out on her own. “When I was 17, I had saved up a little bit of money, and I got my first apartment,” Kreayshawn recalled. “Everyone knows I’m a cat person, so my friends surprised me with a cat. “This cat was definitely slow,” she continued. “It would crawl into the blinds, curl itself into the blinds and just sit there. Maybe it was trying to kill itself?” According to the “Gucci Gucci” rapper, the cat’s questionable behavior didn’t end there. “That cat was disgusting. It would only poop in drains,” she revealed, adding that it made taking showers particularly precarious and smelly. “You’d be taking a shower and the water would start backing up,” she said. “Even worse you’d have to dig it out from the drain. It was so gross.” With the days of questionable cat behavior and clogged drains behind her, for now, and on a cleaner and much more glamorous note, Kreayshawn will be bringing her outgoing personality and sass to the VMA red carpet as a host for MTV.com . “I’m super excited to be the red-carpet host at this year’s VMAs,” Kreayshawn said. “I can harass celebrities about what they’re wearing, what they ate before they got to the carpet, all sorts of funny stuff.” “When I Was 17” — this week featuring VMA nominees Big Sean, Tyler, the Creator and Kreayshawn — airs Saturday at 11 a.m. on MTV. The 28th annual MTV Video Music Awards will air live Sunday from Los Angeles at 9 p.m. ET/PT, following the Selena Gomez-hosted pre-show at 8. See the list of nominees, revisit last year’s highlights and vote for Best New Artist by visiting VMA.MTV.com .

April 26 2011: best day of my life. I met Justin Bieber at…

April 26 2011: best day of my life. I met Justin Bieber at Brisbane Entertainment Centre with @IAmTaylorM , @Kathyy27 and @KellyHeartsJDB. It started with joining BieberFever.com, well my sister actually joined it then she heard there was going to be a competition to meet Justin Bieber. We entered and we had to make a video of us spreading Bieber Fever. Two days later we got the email that changed our lives. The email said something like, “Congratulations Belieber! You have won meet and greet tickets to meet Justin! Just email us your name and your friend’s name” We were so happy and we were just crying and calling every single person we know. The day after we went to the concert, we had to take the train thought ‘cause our parents couldn’t drive us. We were so excited, well actually who wouldn’t be? We finally got to the Entertainment Centre and had to wait for about 2 hours because we went early. We were just waiting there outside in the rain waiting for Justin Bieber and our meet and greet passes. Finally our passes arrived and we went inside the building. We had to wait in the building for Justin to arrive for about 10-15 minutes. We were in line to meet Justin and this guy with this American accent came out and he was like if you want to give Justin something give it to me and I’ll pass it on. That’s when I started crying, I couldn’t believe I was going to meet him. Then Kenny Hamilton came out and said keep in line guys then I started crying more and more. We finally got to go in the room and he said “Hey guys” and gave us each a hug then he said “How are you?” but no one answered ‘cause everyone was just crying and then he grabbed me to take the photo. Later we said our goodbyes and I love you’s and left. Then CONCERT TIME! We were looking for our seats and we finally got in our seats and we couldn’t believe how close to the stage we were, we were 3rd row! The best song played was “U smile”, that was when Justin looked straight and me and winked. It was definitely the best day of my entire life thanks to my sister and to that one email that changed my life. Read the original here: April 26 2011: best day of my life. I met Justin Bieber at…

My name is Zoë and this is my Bieber Experience. It all started…

My name is Zo ë and this is my Bieber Experience.   It all started on a sunny summer day, June 21st. My friends and I were going to the city just to hangout. I was super excited but mostly because that was the day that Someday, by Justin Bieber came out in Macy’s. I am a HUGE Bieber fan so of course I had to go and buy it the day it was coming out! At about 4:00pm, we finally set foot in Macy’s and my friends watched me run up to the perfume. When I asked to buy it, me and my friends were pulled over to the side by one of the store clerks. (At this point, it has been two years since I’ve been a Bieber fan and have yet to meet him which I was dying to do!) We were very confused as to why we were being pulled to the side. The clerk said to me, “You know, Justin Bieber is going to be here on Thursday.” And that is the very moment when my heart DROPPED. While she explained to us the details, and told us that we would have to stand in line for a very long time to get a pass, I was tearing up because of the excitement and disbelief of the words that were being spoken to me. We quickly ran out of Macy’s and I called my mom to tell her the news and beg her to let me come to the city very early in the morning to wait! After all the begging and crying for it, she finally let me go. The next day, Wednesday, was the day that we had to stand in line and be the first 350 people to get a pass. With all the fans that Justin has, I thought that this was going to be a long shot but I said to myself  NEVER SAY NEVER.  I finally got to Macy’s to realize that i was definitely one of the first 350 people which meant that yes, I was going to meet Justin Bieber that following day.I was number 188. We could not be any happier. Finally, the day was there. We had to show up inside Macy’s in the swimwear department at 1:00 sharp. Me being the Bieber fan I am, I showed up extra early. Once I saw a Someday ad, I started crying. I just couldn’t help myself because it had been two years of me wishing to meet Justin. Seeing him in concert twice, and never have met him. Admiring and obsessing over him, and never had met him. We were directed to the line where we had to wait for Justin to arrive. We stood patiently for 4 hours waiting for Justin while in the meantime, meeting Adam Braun. Then, all of a sudden, we hear Justin’s voice over the microphone. My ears and throat were hurting because of all the screaming that was happening and because of my screaming also. The line finally started moving. It made a kinda of meander kind of form and around one of the curves of the line was a curtain, and Justin standing behind it. When we got to that curve I snuck a look around the curtain and guess what I see. I saw Justin Bieber. Standing within just a couple of feet of me. And that is when I finally lost it. I couldn’t help the crying or freaking out anymore. When it comes to Bieber, I have major freak outs sometimes (even though that might sound a little weird but it’s true). The line is still slowly moving and I turn the corner to get a full on view of him standing on the stage right in front of me going girl by girl taking pictures with them. That is when I started REALLY freaking out. Yes it’s true, I was having a panic attack . No exaggeration whatsoever. I was quite scared because when you hyperventilate, your breathing becomes short, you get light headed and your legs and knees become weak, which is exactly what happened to me. With security next to me, they were asking if I was ok and if I needed to leave and go down to get myself calmed down. Of course I said NO! I was scared because I felt like I was about to faint, but the only reason why I didn’t is because Justin was looking up and down the line and we made eye contact. Since Justin apparently doesn’t like girls freaking out so much, I automatically got taken back and I froze in shock. Justin Bieber had just made eye contact with me and also saved me from possibly fainting when thats the last thing that I would want to happen! All of a sudden, I watched the girl right in front of me taking a picture with Justin and I realized that it was my turn. I suddenly looked to my right to the security guard telling me to go on stage but I was so scared that I refused. I was intimidated because it was Justin Bieber and this was finally it. I never really knew what it would really be like. They had to give me a little shove to make me go onto the stage and then it was time. I watched him wave bye to the girl in front of me and I can still re-play the moment in my head when he turned his head and saw me. I had the biggest butterflies and my heart was pounding just how it is now just thinking about it right now! He turned his head and held out his arms while I took the few steps that felt like an hours walk. We both were holding out our arms as if going in for a hug and I said, “Hi Justin!” he replied with “Hi cutie!” I asked him how he is, and he said “good thanks.” We posed for the picture that I don’t even remember taking and I was so nervous that I forgot the pose I was going to make that I had practiced in front of the mirror ; which made my pose look very awkward in my picture, but oh well! After the picture was snapped I wished him a nice day and he thanked me. I was able to keep my composure until the second I looked at my picture. I HAD JUST MET JUSTIN BIEBER. Here comes the waterfall, and the floor. I started crying SO hard and I fell to the floor. I just couldn’t keep myself composed. That was honestly the best and highest point of my life and I am so proud of myself for never giving up to meet Justin Bieber. I will never say never and that is My Bieber Experience. – @nycbelieberr See the rest here: My name is Zoë and this is my Bieber Experience. It all started…

Fat Joe Says Weight Loss ‘Not Rocket Science’

Attention since ‘Drop a Body’ video ‘is crazy,’ Joe tells MTV News. By Steven Roberts Fat Joe Photo: MTV News Fat Joe ‘s video for “Drop a Body” was filled with volcanic eruptions, lightning and a mountain of dead bodies, but when the video dropped in June, Joe’s appearance overshadowed all of that. A considerably slimmer Joe stood atop said mountain, raising eyebrows and the clip’s number YouTube views. Joe said he was just as shocked by people’s reactions to his weight loss, because he was just trying to save his life. “I’m not trying to impress nobody or nothing like that,” Joe told MTV News. “I’m just trying to get healthy so I can be here for my family and take care of my kids and live the life that was intended for me to live, so it was crazy when I started getting all this attention. Two weeks from now, CNN is coming to my house, Sanjay Gupta, a big special, and all this attention is crazy.” Joe said he was 360 pounds when he started losing weight, and after finding himself at much-more-manageable 260 pounds a year later, he still wasn’t satisfied. Initially, he wanted to lose weight because in the past year, several of his friends have lost their lives due to their weight. Joe recalled attending one of his friends’ funerals and seeing himself in that position. He knew then it was time to make a change. “I went to my friend’s funeral in the Bronx, and he was just the funniest, coolest dude on earth,” Joe recalled. “He’s got a daughter, she’s the same age as my daughter, and it just felt like I was there, and I could just see my family in the funeral and I was like, ‘Damn, he left his daughter, and she’s only 5,’ ” he explained. “That was the wake-up call. Then I just jumped on that treadmill and started eating right. It’s not rocket science: It’s the same thing they keep telling you to do, you actually just have to do it.” Joe said he always asked God why he continued to bless him, despite his past and him not being a perfect person. And then he realized his weight-loss battle might be his calling. He hopes that he can inspire others to do the same. “One of my boys lives in Detroit, he said he came out his building, he got two dudes that been the fattest dudes on the block forever, they have weights outside and was running around the block, and he was like, ‘Yo, what’s up?’ and they were like, ‘We on that Fat Joe wave!’ ” Related Artists Fat Joe

My name is Cassidy and I’m 16 years old. I love Justin…

My name is Cassidy and I’m 16 years old. I love Justin Bieber so much and I would never have thought in a million years I would ever meet him…but like Justin says: NEVER SAY NEVER! One of my good friends Paige and I would always talk about him in our biology class and she would always tell me about her Bieber experiences, and would say that I’ll meet him one day. On Tuesday morning, August 16th, I woke up and got all these phone calls that Justin was in town at our local sky high and trampoline place. I was with my friend and we literally got dressed and rushed over to the movies (Muvico) around 11:30am because we thought for some reason he might go there that night to watch a movie since he has been there with Jaden Smith before. I was calling all my friends to see if they were at the mall and if they had seen Justin there but they said no. I don’t know why but I had this gut feeling that he was going to be there. I waited in front of the movie theatre literally all day and by 9:00pm my friend Natalie and I were about to give up and leave because it was about to close anyways. My friend said we should just go, he’s not coming. I told her no we can’t, I still have a feeling he might come! Then about an hour later around 10:00pm I see a group of girls running towards someone and I look over a car and it was JUSTIN BIEBER! I felt like I was dreaming. He was with Jaden Smith and Moises Arias too. I started running to him but he was already running towards me because he had to hurry and get in his car before girls started attacking him! I quickly asked him if I could get a picture together and he said, “Yeah is your camera already on?” and I said “Yessss!” Then his bodyguard took the picture. I honestly couldn’t remember anything after the picture. I don’t even remember saying thank you and if he said anything, I was just so shocked/speechless that I just met and got a picture with Justin! After that my friend Natalie asked for a picture and with him and he said, “Sorry I can’t. I’m in a rush” but she at least got a picture of his back getting into his car. It was seriously a dream come true for me! My friend and I walked to the curb of the parking lot to watch him drive away and that’s when I started crying so hard. I’ve never cried so hard in my life. The very first person I called was my friend Paige because we had been talking throughout the day. I then called my mom and told her the same thing and she thought I was in a car accident or something because I was crying so hard and couldn’t talk. That whole time I honestly thought it was all a dream, it just didn’t feel real to me, it was so crazy! I am most definitely proud to say that I met Justin Bieber and I’m going to frame that picture of us and keep it forever! My dreams finally came true, I can’t thank Justin enough for what he does for his fans and I can truly call him my inspiration! I love you Justin Drew Bieber. – @ cassidyaddison Original post: My name is Cassidy and I’m 16 years old. I love Justin…

Kanye West, Jay-Z’s Watch The Throne Scores Huge On Billboard

Album sold 436,000 in its first week, including a record 290,000 on iTunes. By Gil Kaufman Jay-Z and Kanye West Photo: Johnny Nunez/ WireImage The Throne will get a royal reception on the Billboard 200 albums charts next week. Watch the Throne , the superstar hookup between Kanye West and Jay-Z , sold more than 436,000 copies in its first week, according to figures provided by Nielsen SoundScan, putting up the second-biggest debut sales week of the year so far, behind Lady Gaga ‘s Born This Way, which moved 1.1 million. Thanks to a three-day iTunes exclusive that launched last Monday (August 8-10), the pair also reportedly broke the record for the biggest iTunes debut ever, selling almost 290,000 digital copies, enough to beat out former record-holder Coldplay ‘s Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends, which sold 282,000 copies in 2008. According to Billboard , with 321,000 total downloads, Throne is second only to Born This Way (662,000) for the biggest digital week ever. See what fans thought of the Watch the Throne pop-up store, which appeared in NYC last week. The album might have sold more, but some experts said its staggered release — following the iTunes exclusive, it was available to all digital and physical sellers on Friday, giving fans only two days to snatch it up before SoundScan’s tracking week ended on Sunday — may have curtailed its first-week sales potential. Either way, it’s a huge score for both rappers, earning Jay his 12th #1 album and Kanye his fifth. There are a few other debuts in the top 10, but they pale in comparison to the Throne numbers. Country singer Luke Bryan ‘s Tailgates & Tanlines comes in at #2 (145,000), the Now 39 compilation is just behind at #3 (110,000) and rapper Ace Hood hits #8 with Blood Sweat & Tears (26,000). The rest of the top 10: Adele ‘s 21 (#4, 73,000), Eric Church ‘s Chief (#5, 37,000), Jason Aldean ‘s My Kinda Party (#6, 36,000), Beyonc

Man Gets Heimlich Maneuver During Tennis Match of the Day

This is hilarious….via my friends at Wolf & Harrison who were clever enough to capture this glorious moment in tennis history…it happened at the final game at the Montreal Roger’s Cup…some old dude choked and another guy mounted him like a homo and saved the day…. The point is that Tennis is one of the most erotic sports to watch..you know all those grunts and ass flashes…and this is not one of those moments..
