My name is Dominique and I’m from Gatineau, Quebec. On…

My name is Dominique and I’m from Gatineau, Quebec. On November 23rd, 2012 my best friend Jolaine, and I went to Justin Bieber’s concert in Ottawa. It was the best day of our life til now. On Febuary 2013, Pierre, a good friend of my mom and I, heard about Make-A-Wish Foundation . He gave my name to them and on March 29th 2013, I received pretty good news! My dream of meeting Justin Bieber was on the way to come true! I was far away on the waiting list and Tanya (the girl who was responsible for my wish) told me on July 15th that my dream would probably come true in two or three years. After hard work from her and her team, she told me four days later that I would meet him in Ottawa on July 23rd with my parents and my best friend. I was so excited! I received a lot of gifts from Make-A-Wish before going to the Canadian Tire Center such as gift certificates from the Bayshore, free manicures and pedicures, two nights at the Brookstreet Hotel and a special meeting with Cody Simpson. When the BIG night arrived, we took a beautiful limousine to get to the arena. Over there, we waited for two long hours in a special room, the one where all Justin Bieber’s crowd was eating. We saw dancers and musicians, Kenny Hamilton (he gave us two kisses on the cheek!), Scrappy, Pattie Mallette and Dan Kanter (he took a picture with me and gave me his guitar pic!). My best friend and I were shaking so bad. We had difficulties to breathe. Kenny finally arrived at 7:30 p.m. to tell us that Justin was ready to meet us. We got to the small dark room where he made his M&G a few minutes before. There he was in front of me. Justin put his two hands on my legs, I put my two hands on his and he said, “Wow, you’re so gorgeous!” I cannot believe that my idol said that to me! Then he pulled me on my wheelchair to take me with him on the red carpet to take some pictures. He asked, “Do you have any question for me? I said: “Hm, yes! Well, my dream to meet you is coming true right now. But I want to know what is YOUR dream now that you have everything? ” He responded, “Well my dream is to make all my fans, all my beliebers, everybody …I want to make you happy.” I hurried to say, “Your dream comes true too, because I’m so happy right now!” He made his little, “Awww.” During the conversation, we were looking and smiling at each other like crazy. For the pictures, he put his arm around me and smiled at the camera. Then, without any notice, he put his lips on my right cheek to give me a kiss. AND WHAT A KISS! It lasted about 10 seconds while he was moving his lips and smiling! I’m so glad to confirm that Justin has kissable lips haha. After that, he went towards my best friend and she thought he was only going to give her a handshake but he hugged her so hard! She felt like she was in paradise! He also brought my parents at the front with me to take another picture with us. About 30 seconds later, he signed my three things. First he signed his biography and added a big heart at the bottom! Then, he signed my Make-A-Wish shirt that I was wearing. Last thing was my prom dress. I gave it to him and he looked very surprised! He said, “Wow, you must look so wonderful in this!” Finally came the difficult time to say goodbye. He gave me a big hug and he said goodbye us. Once he left I started to cry because it was the best moment of my life, it was absolutely magic! My dream came true, but I still have the dream to meet him again. We went to see the show and it was totally amazing! He sang O’ Canada and guess what? He was shirtless for 4 song! I want to thank Make-A-Wish foundation for making this happen and Justin, if you ever see this message, I want to thank you for this incredible moment. You’re the best and thank you so much for making me BELIEVE! Je t’aime.  – DoeBieber &  @ DJoee_Swagirlss ( x ) Watch the video here.  View original post here: My name is Dominique and I’m from Gatineau, Quebec. On…

Aaron Rodgers: Dating Jessica Szohr! Again!

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is reportedly dating actress Jessica Szohr, a former Gossip Girl cast member he briefly dated once before. The two were briefly linked back in 2011, back when Gossip Girl was a hot show, and long before the slew of Aaron Rodgers gay rumors hit the Internet. An insider tells Us Weekly of the rekindled romance between the couple: “They got back together over the holidays. They spent New Years together with a bunch of mutual friends. They broke up because her schedule was crazy for awhile.” Things fizzled out, but it wasn’t personal. Now, the situation has improved: “They just couldn’t stay together in that situation but now they have been spending their free time together and things feel good. But they fell right back into it.” The news comes as something of a surprise – not because Rodgers was linked to his former best friend Kevin Lanflisi , but because he had a girlfriend … we thought. He and Daisy Newton had reportedly been together for some time. Aaron Rodgers Gay? In any case, Szohr, 28, and Rodgers, 30, hit up the That Awkward Moment film after party at Lucky Strike L.A. Live bowling alley, and as a couple. “Aaron and Jessica walked in holding hands,” an eyewitness says. The couple were also joined by Szohr’s good friend, none other than Taylor Swift. Swift, obviously, squeezed in some girl talk. The insider adds that: “Taylor was overheard giving [Jessica] relationship advice in the ladies room.” Hopefully she didn’t tell people to watch Gossip Girl online though. That show got pretty terrible by the end there. No offense to Jessica, of course. Rodgers, by the way, commented on the firestorm late last year, saying he’s not gay and “really likes women.” Guess he had one specifically in mind, too.

Taylor Swift on the Dating Game: I Need to Win!

Taylor Swift is featured in the March 2014 of Glamour, taking a very subtle swipe at Miley Cyrus in the process. Asked about being a role model and not getting naked, the artist tells the magazine that it’s “relatively easy” to keep her clothes on because she simply doesn’t have the “urge” to take them off. “For me ‘risky’ is revealing what really happened in my life through music,” Swift says. “Risky is writing confessional songs and telling the true story about a person with enough details so everyone knows who that person is. That’s putting myself out there, maybe even more than taking my shirt off.” Okay, so maybe it’s not exactly a diss of Cyrus. But have you see Miley’s W photos ?!? That star clearly has some kind of urge for nudity. Taylor Swift Glamour Photos Open Slideshow 1. Taylor Swift Glamour Cover Pic Taylor Swift covers this issu of Glamour.

Taylor Swift with a Guitar Taylor Swift sits and strums her guitar in this photo from Glamour. She rocks some bare feet, too. Elsewhere in the interview, Swift is asked about dating (of course) and whether or not she has any advice for women. “I think everyone should approach relationships from the perspective of playing it straight and giving someone the benefit of the doubt. Until he establishes that this is a game. And if it’s a game, you need to win. The best thing to do is just walk away from the table.” In closing, Swift says she doesn’t read much about herself online. Why not? It would affect her personally… which would affect her professional. “I know when not to read an article. Is it going to help my day? Is it important for my life? If the answer is no, then I just don’t click… “I’m careful about getting sucked into the rabbit hole that is the Internet because, as a songwriter, I don’t have the option of having thick skin… you have to be open to everything, and that includes pain, rejection, self-doubt, fear. I deal with that enough on my own. “If you look hard enough, you could find somebody on the Internet criticizing every single thing about you. If you’re me.”

Drake Bell Blasts Justin Bieber as "Little Sh-t," Accuses Singer of Drugs Use

First, Jared Padalecki. Now, Drake Bell. Justin Bieber really isn’t making any friends these days. A day after the aforementioned Supernatural star took a huge shot at Bieber , Tweeting that Lil Za was arrested for possession of drugs that actually belonged to his famous friend, Bell has come out and made the same accusation. “Hey @justinbieber how much are you paying Lil Za to take the coke wrap for ya? Be a man and take responsibility,” the former Drake & Josh wrote. “Learn to be an ADULT!” For whatveer reason (jealousy?), Bell has gone after Justin many time before. He once labeled the artist’s fans insane and slammed Bieber for being really short. He wasn’t done in this case, either. “@justinbieber instead of egging speeding around your neighborhood and defacing property like a little shit you should practice your guitar!!” the actor Tweeted, adding of Bieber and his graffiti hobby: “When is someone going to tell this idiot he can’t draw.His art is almost as bad as his music. Talentless artless.” Damn. Wow. How do you really feel, Drake Bell? Bieber had his home security video taken and his cell phone confiscated by police this week following a raid meant to find evidence that he egged his neighbor’s home last Thursday. Really, though, do authorities need any more evidence than this video? Justin Bieber Neighbor Films Egg Tossing Incident

Fiona Apple Heckled on Stage, Breaks Down in Tears, Calls Rex Reed a C–t

Fiona Apple is always one to keep things interesting. The singer never mails in a live performance, but you also never know just what you’re going to see. Case in point? She impressed Monday night at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in L.A., yet still managed to shock audience members with her outspoken nature. Fiona Apple Heckled Near the end of the show, she ignored a heckler shouting out song requests, acknowledging that we all have things we want to get off our chests at times. She proceeded to explain that years ago, her father, actor Brandon Maggart, got a bad review from film critic Rex Reed, who misspelled Maggart’s name. That was only the start of it. Apparently he also “f–ked with people and how they looked.” She continued, “I’ve wanted to do this for a long time.” “Daddy, this is for you. Rex Reed: you’re a c–t.” Well, there you have that, ladies and gentlemen. Apple is famous for her erratic performances. Just last week, in Portland, Ore., a fan shouted, “Fiona! Get healthy! We want to see you in 10 years!” She reportedly screamed at the fan and “sobbed” through her next song. Apple also walked off stage at a Louis Vuitton event in August, yelling “predictable fashion!” In 2012, Fiona Apple was arrested in Texas for marijuana possession, which she then discussed on stage in one of the weirdest rants of all time. She’s a character!

Phil Chevron Dies; Pogues Guitarist Was 56

Guitar player Phil Chevron of the Pogues has passed away at the age of 56 after a long battle with cancer, the band said in a statement Tuesday. Chevron (real name was Philip Ryan) was a core member of the Anglo-Irish folk-punk group that made its international name in the 1980s and early 1990s. “He was unique. We’ll miss him terribly. Dublin town, and the world, just got smaller,” the Pogues said in a statement on their website earlier today. “His loved ones are in our thoughts.” Chevron, who was born in Dublin, started out with the Irish act The Radiators From Space, which has been described as Ireland’s first punk band. He moved to London where he joined the Pogues, fronted by fellow Irishman Shane MacGowan. He played banjo and mandolin and sang as well. Chevron stayed with the Pogues after MacGowan left in 1991 and was replaced by Joe Strummer, ex-frontman of The Clash. The band split up in 1996. He later reformed the Radiators with ex-Pogues bassist Cait O’Riordan. When the Pogues reformed in 2001 and interest in them revived, Chevron remastered the band’s back catalogue on CD and took a big role in their reunion tours. He was diagnosed with head and neck cancer in 2007 and was given a clean bill of health in April 2012 but the cancer returned. May he rest in peace.

My name is Lizzie, and I can officially say I met my idol Justin…

See the article here:

My name is Lizzie, and I can officially say I met my idol Justin Bieber on July 18 th 2013 at the XL Center in Hartford, CT. I got the tickets in December 2012 and I’ve been waiting for the day for such a long time. During the VIP party, Fredo, Ryan Butler, Kenny, Za, his drums player, Tay James, and a bunch of dancers walked through the room. Kenny came to talk to us to thank us for being here, and I also got a picture with with some crew members. After about an hour and a half, it was time to meet Justin. He was pretty late, but he was with Make-A-Wish kids so I was glad he was spending so much time with them. I walked slowly into the room through the curtain and tried to take in all his features at once. The first thing I saw was his gold chain he was wearing and then I saw all the tattoos, but other than that, I can’t remember much. I was so starstruck, I barley noticed Fredo in the room with us! I said something like, “Hey, oh my god, I love you so much.” Justin said “Hey” back in this really low raspy voice and then he said “I love you too,” really softly. It was so unreal. Right after the picture was taken, security pushed me from behind and as I was moving my hand down from his side. He rubbed my side a little before I left too. I walked out of there like I was floating, but right outside the curtain was Justin’s friend Lil Za. I was so starstruck, even with him! I started just talking about how awesome he is and at one point I said he was my favorite and I told him I loved him so much. I asked for a high five and he gave me one! My mom (who was behind me in line) told me that as soon as I walked away from Za, he was beaming with happiness. As we went to our seats, I saw Dan on the way there! Dan walked through the arena earlier and everyone bombarded him, but this time it was just him and I. I said hey and asked for a hug and he gave me one. I was in Section 1, Row C, Seats 13 and 14, two seats away from the catwalk! During the show, my friend Natalie (@hessourkidrauhl) who I met there and I went up against the barricade for the catwalk. After the show was over, Dan came down the catwalk and since I was now in like row 1, he handed me the only setlist for the show, signed by him! Everyone behind me got some of his guitar picks. We thanked him and left, but later that night, I thanked him again on Twitter and attached the picture of the setlist, and he followed me! During the show, it seemed like all my problems went away and I was the happiest I have ever been. I was having the time of my life. I touched almost all the dancers’ hands, and I made eye contact with Justin at least twice. During ‘Believe’ everyone in the arena held up signs saying: “Always Our Kidrauhl” and once Justin walked away from the piano, he looked down and read the sign Natalie and I were sharing, and smiled! It was really cute. As ‘Baby’ was finishing and Justin was going down into the stage, he looked right into my eyes and smiled a true, genuine smile, I’m pretty sure he winked too (but that could just be my imagination). The concert was the best night of my life and I can’t thank Justin and everyone on the crew enough for it! -@ontarioloving Original post: My name is Lizzie, and I can officially say I met my idol Justin…
