I am SO excited to be writing my very own ‘mybieberexperience’! Alright, so it all started when I found out that Justin was doing a meet & greet for his new perfume at Macy’s in NYC and I knew I HAD to be there! I wasn’t missing this! I decided I was going to camp out so I wouldn’t risk not getting tickets. My crazy week started Tuesday June 22nd, I left for the city around 9:30am and got there for 11am. My friends and I were like 3rd in the line! We camped out for over 24 hours, but it was definitely worth it. I didn’t get any sleep but it was such a fun time. I met so many other amazing beliebers! I was on the news, in the picture Justin tweeted and in the LA Times newspaper! We got our tickets around 10 am Wednesday morning and let me tell you, it was the BEST feeling ever knowing I was gonna be meeting Justin for sure! When I got home I picked out my outfit and got everything ready for the next day. THURSDAY the 24th, IT WAS FINALLY HERE.I got there around 2 pm and got online with all my friends. We talked with Adam & Scooter Braun as well as Hoogs while we were outside! It was finally my time to go up to Justin. It was pretty overwhelming. I went up to him said hi, gave him a hug and took our picture! I wish I had more time to pose. Anyways after I was going to walk away, go figure.. my hair got caught on his jacket! I turned back, looked into his eyes & was like, “OMG THIS WOULD ONLY HAPPEN TO ME”, and he was like, “Aw it’s alright” I just stood there and stared into his eyes as he untangled my hair HAHAHA. Then I gave him another hug before I walked away. He was super nice and it was just a surreal moment. I wasn’t even embarrassed because he was super nice about it and it gave me more time to stare into his eyes! As soon as I walked away, tears came pouring down my face. I told myself I wouldn’t cry but I couldn’t help it! Honestly never give up because I have been trying so hard for so long and hard work pays off. I am so grateful for this experience & Justin DOES care about his fans! I LOVE YOU JUSTIN -@danarosee Read more from the original source: I am SO excited to be writing my very own…
Sha Money XL is a case study in hustle and dedication. The accomplished A&R is one of the last members of that fraternity of label executives who got their start actually making music. Realizing early on that rapping was not his calling, the Queens, NY native used his piano skills from childhood to become one of the most sought after producers in the game, having worked with Royal Flush, Tragedy, Onyx, Mobb Deep and many more. Sha Money, aka “The Chain On The Bike” is also one of the key people who helped propel 50 Cent from mixtape phenom to GQ Cover model and mogul. As President of G-Unit Records he oversaw releases like the double-platinum group debut, Beg For Mercy. These days, Sha Money XL holds the title of Sr. Vice President of A&R for Island Def Jam and has his sights set on blasting off newcomer Big K.R.I.T.’s career. But even in the midst of working various projects, he still finds time to give back by mentoring and motivating young artists to become future leaders and innovators in hip-hop. In 2005 he established an annual conference for Hip-Hop producers called The One Stop where the beatmakers of tomorrow are discovered. Here he shared why Big K.R.I.T. is about to be the next biggest rapper to touch a mic and how Jam Master Jay inspired him to help encourage the next generation of b-boys and girls. ⎯Starrene Rhett TUD: What’s one of your favorite moments in hip-hop that you were actually involved in? Sha Money XL: It was my first trip to California. I went to this thing called “Rap Olympics” and that was the day that Eminem got discovered by Dr. Dre. And that’s where I saw Eminem in a battle where I knew he would win but because there was mad Crips in the building they didn’t let him win. But he beat that motherf*cker! That was an ill day! This was before Internet and before people could tape it and everyone could see it. That was my first trip to Cali and I hung out with Eminem. I didn’t really pay attention to the fact that it’s this white kid rapping but then when we turned around he became this ill dude and it was like, “You remember that kid that was with us that day and he was waiting to go upstairs to freestyle and he did that ill freestyle? It was like wow, we were with him! We were cool with Em before he blew up. That was one of my historical moments and then there was Jam Master Jay⎯the day I met him. That changed my life. Why? It’s your first five minutes to talk to someone famous but you don’t wanna sound stupid. I made my conversation right with him. He’s the one that introduced me to 50 Cent, so he kind of opened my whole world. He was my first mentor. He was actually someone that took the time to take care and show you something. Everybody in this industry be too busy, so they don’t be passing no words, they don’t plant no seeds so no one can go on and continue and here Jay was⎯he was ready to lend his whole soul. So he opened it up to the kid. That’s what made me want to produce a conference and do all the mentoring and the talk back. Look at how far I got with it. I do that sh*t just because he did it for me and it helped me. And I know it only takes one person, that’s a lot alone. Where do you see what your impact has been made on the culture? My influence has an impact on producers. With me dealing with hip-hop, with producers, they’re the seed planters in hip-hop. They’re the ones that add hype to new artists that get excited. They’re the ones that are at the storefronts to buy the CDs and buying albums continuously. With artists, they’re all critics so they don’t go buy another artist’s album or they don’t want to hear who’s hot so I planted the seeds with producers with my conference to the point that when I see people now they’re like “Yo man, I got a job from coming to your conference,” or “I sold a beat from coming to your conference,” or “ I did ‘Power’ for Kanye West from f*cking with your conference .” There’s all these stories that come from there and it’s like, I love producers because they’re just creative beings that are just fans of music. There’s no hate, it’s no bullsh*t, it’s that they just want to hear the best music out there possible because producers are musicians. So I think my contribution is more like quality music and actually to giving back to the search for new talent and I’m still on the hunt and I’m still looking. I just found Big K.R.I.T. Big K.R.I.T. is a special artist to me because he’s one of those rare artists that are so amazing. Like how I believed in 50 when motherf*ckers said he was done and I knew that it wasn’t that. Why do you feel that Big K.R.I.T is so amazing? Big K.R.I.T has the best message to send in hip-hop. His words sit in your soul unlike any other rapper out there. I’ve memorized his songs and used it as poetry because he’s speaking sh*t that mother f*ckers are afraid to talk about, don’t want to talk about, he knows how to make it sound cool. It’s not trap rap, it’s not sit down and be a Buddhist either. It’s real hip-hop soul. It’s just indescribable. There’s no one like it. Big K.R.I.T is gonna be a Grammy nominated award winner. When I told you that I knew 50 was gonna be hot, this dude is the hottest rapper in the next 10 years. Speaking of Big K.R.I.T what’s the state of hip-hop today? It’s back to the youth. Before, it was a part where the 18-year-old and 19-year-olds had no say. It’s young again. The rappers that were popping were like 30 and over but now the new ones are back in their teenage years and early 20s. It’s back to where it needs to be. When LL was hot sh*t and Run DMC were first hot, they were teenagers but then it got to where the new rappers had to be 30 or older because they were grinding so hard but now it’s back to the youth. It’s back to the kids on skateboards that tell you that this is fashion, not that bullsh*t you’re wearing. Not that Louis sh*t and all that sh*t that you need a whole fucking check on that’s good for one night and can’t even wear it in the next three months. It’s back to that and that’s the best form of hip-hop to me. The youth really determine what’s hot and they ignite all the other kids toward that and that’s when you start to see sales, because older motherf*ckers aren’t buying music because they’re not really used to it. What’s the future of Black music in general? It’s just gonna continue to grow and continue to elevate. Have you seen that Beyonce performance at the Billboard Awards? That’s growth! You’re gonna see more growth. What do you want your legacy to be 100 years form now? What I want my legacy to be is to reach back for people to continue to elevate themselves, but [showing them how[ to give back so that other people can grow as well.

Lindsay Lohan is really getting screwed over by the criminal justice system. Serving her jail sentence inside a $2.25 million, 3,000 beach house in Venice Beach, Calif., where she relaxes , parties and gets paid big bucks to shoot commercials? That’ll teach her!

Police confirm to MTV News that Dunn’s blood alcohol level was twice the legal limit in Pennsylvania. By Jocelyn Vena Ryan Dunn Photo: Eddie Malluk/ WireImage At the time of his fatal car accident earlier this week, “Jackass” star Ryan Dunn was intoxicated, a West Chester, Pennsylvania, police official confirmed to MTV News. The skater and stuntman had a blood alcohol level of .196 when he got behind the wheel on Monday; the legal limit in Pennsylvania is .08. A police official also confirmed that Dunn had been driving his Porsche upward of 130 mph when he crashed and died, along with his passenger, Zachary D. Hartwell . No other substances were found in his body. On Tuesday, police said the investigation into the crash that killed Dunn, 34, and Hartwell, 30, revealed that Dunn’s Porsche may have jumped a guardrail and crashed into a ravine before bursting into flames after the two men left the bar Barnaby’s of America in West Chester . A coroner’s report revealed that both men died of blunt force trauma from the impact of the wreck and burns from the resulting fire. While toxicology results may prove otherwise, an employee of Barnaby’s told MTV News earlier this week that, the night before the crash, Dunn “didn’t seem intoxicated. He seemed like he was having a good time, hanging out with his friends.” The Barnaby’s worker further noted that Dunn “only had a couple beers here. As far as we’re concerned, the biggest thing, our hearts go out to the family and friends, and his loss is a big loss to our community. The biggest thing we’re worried about is his friends and family.” Dunn’s longtime pal Bam Margera tearfully spoke to a Fox affiliate in Pennsylvania near the scene of the accident, saying, “I’ve never lost anybody that I care about; he’s my best friend. “He was the happiest person, the smartest guy with so much talent,” Margera continued. “He had so many things going for him. … It is not right. … It was the worst phone call I ever got in my life.” MTV News also traveled to Dunn’s adopted hometown of West Chester PA , and found many who remembered the “Jackass” star not for his celebrity status, but rather for his ability to remain modest despite living in the limelight. “He was real,” said Sam Ford, who was celebrating her 25th birthday at Barnaby’s, the last place Dunn was seen before his crash. Brock Jackson, 31, who said he grew up playing Little League with Bam Margera says Dunn had “truly kind eyes” and “a heart and a half.” He was especially impressed by the well-known resident’s memory, saying, “He remembered every time he met somebody.” Share your memories of Ryan Dunn on our Facebook page or in the comments below.

My name is Monika and I’m 15 from Georgia. I’ve been utterly obsessed with Justin since I was in 7th grade (early 2009) before he got famous and I’ve literally loved him since day one. I have over 40 posters of him in my room, a life-size cardboard cutout and pretty much everyone who knows me, knows how much I love him. Anyways, I live in Georgia near the area where he is rumored to live, so when I heard he was playing basketball at the local gym 5 minutes away from my house , I really couldn’t believe it even though it was possible. My friend called me and said her sister was texting her friends that were working out and saw him! Since I was home and have a membership to that gym, I figured it couldn’t hurt to check it out. I forced my mom to drive me there as soon as possible and when I got out of the car I ran inside to the basketball courts. It was true! Justin was here, at my gym, playing basketball! I was freaking out beyond belief, except for the fact that employees of the gym were blocking the doors and wouldn’t let anyone take a picture of Justin through the glass doors or even walk by repeatedly. I went to the second floor overlooking the basketball courts. I was so close to him I just had to meet him! I went back downstairs with the other 10 or so girls that showed up for Justin and the guards cleared out a bit. This was my chance. I ran in through the glass doors and went straight up to Justin while he was taking a break. I said I was his biggest fan and if I could please have a picture together. He said no since other girls would want a picture but thank you for asking. I felt like crying and left the court. But then I realized it, I JUST TALKED TO JUSTIN BIEBER! I was the only girl who had the guts to go up to him and it was worth it even without a picture. I fulfilled my dream of finally meeting him, and I know we’re going to meet again when we get married anyways haha. As I walked out, an employee said that if I did that again he would have to ask me to leave the building, but I didn’t care since I just met Justin Bieber. Never say never. I was always reading Bieber Experiences thinking I would never have one, but I did. Dreams do come true. – @moniikkkkaaaa Go here to read the rest: My name is Monika and I’m 15 from Georgia.

We all know that being liked by your boyfriend’s friends is a plus. What better security is there than knowing that his friends aren’t actively trying to change his mind about you? One of my friends is so used to being invited to her boyfriend’s “guys’ nights”. Whether it’s getting wings at the local dive bar or being rowdy and watching the game on someone’s couch, she’s always been a “guys’ girl”. The guy that she recently started dating, however, likes to separate his “guy time” and “girlfriend time”. BUT, this doesn’t mean that she needs to kick him to the curb and find a more romantic guy. We talked and tried to figure out what the right amount of “bro-mance” time versus “romance” time is. The first thing I did was explain to her the importance of “bro-mances” to men. Just because they’re spending time with their guys does not mean that they are going to break up with you. There’s no need to constantly call and text him asking about his plans. Having time to “bro out” can actually be extremely healthy for relationships. You have more to talk about, and let’s be real- you’d rather him be hanging out with his best guy friends than getting drinks with the new lady at work. But how much “bro-mance” is too much ? When he is choosing to play poker with the guys 5 days out of the week, it’s time to step in and ask for a little more “loving time”. If you can squeeze yourself into a game of black jack with him and the guys, that’s great! But don’t go dealing cards where they don’t belong. You don’t want to start showing up everywhere and have his guys get annoyed of you. When my friend showed up at one of the guys’ golf games, she felt completely out of place and definitely heard the snide comments: “uhh dude, what’s she doing here?” Most importantly, keep in mind what his “bro-mance” time can mean for you. Use this time to pamper yourself or plan a girls’ night out . Just because he wants to hang out with the guys on Friday night doesn’t mean that you need to stay in by yourself. The most healthy relationships have a balance between romantic time and friend time. What are your thoughts on “bro-mances”? How do you stay in a healthy relationship while still giving him room to breathe? How much room is too much room? Fill us in! Nicki Minaj & Britney Spears Get Into Altercation At Femme Fatale Tour?!

Police estimate Dunn’s car was going 130 mph when he crashed. By James Montgomery Ryan Dunn Photo: Michael Buckner/ Getty Images The initial autopsy of “Jackass” star Ryan Dunn and the passenger killed in an early-morning wreck in rural Pennsylvania on Monday revealed that the two died from blunt-force trauma and the fire that consumed Dunn’s vehicle. According to the Chester County Coroner, Dunn and 30-year-old Zachary Hartwell were both dead before police arrived at the scene of the accident, which occurred around 2:30 a.m. on Monday in West Goshen Township, when the amateur daredevil’s 2007 Porsche 911 GTS swerved off the road and flew through 40 yards of trees before hitting one and bursting into flames. Relive Ryan Dunn’s best stunts on the “Jackass” TV show. West Goshen Police Chief Michael Carroll told Radar Online that an accident-reconstruction team was able to determine that the Porsche was traveling at a very high rate of speed — almost 130 mph — when it collided with a guard rail. “I’ve never seen a car destroyed in an automobile accident the way this car was, even before it caught on fire,” Carroll said. “The automobile actually came apart. It was unbelievable and I’ve been on a lot of fatal accident scenes. This was by far the worst I’ve ever seen.” TMZ reported that, based on the autopsy results, “It seems it was impossible to determine if the two died from the impact of the crash itself or from the fire that resulted.” The coroner also told the site that toxicology results for both men — which would help determine whether alcohol was involved in the crash — would be released in four to six weeks. In the hours before the crash, Dunn was photographed drinking at Barnaby’s of America , a bar in West Chester, Pennsylvania, leading some to speculate that he was drunk before the accident occurred. But an employee of the bar told MTV News that he “didn’t seem intoxicated.” “He seemed like he was having a good time, hanging out with friends,” the employee said. “[He] only had a couple beers here. As far as we’re concerned, the biggest thing, our hearts go out to the family and friends, and his loss is a big loss to our community. The biggest thing we’re worried about is his friends and family.” Share your memories of Ryan Dunn in the comments below.
