My Bieber Experience has been going on for about a two years now. It all started when I found out there was a contest to meet Justin. I worked really hard, sending in thousands of entries and sure enough, I won. I drove 11 hours from Texas to Atlanta, GA to meet Justin on December 23, 2010. To make a long story short, we had to go in groups and I ended up being shoved away from Justin. Scooter tried to help, but Justin was busy. I thought it was the end, but thankfully it wasn’t. I was very blessed to have a second chance. In other words, a do over, which not many people are lucky enough to get. I met Justin for the second time on October 30, 2012 in Houston, TX. I literally practiced how I was going to pose next to him for months. I was really nervous the whole week leading up to this day. I walked through the curtains and saw Justin standing there with both of his arms out ready for someone to get beside him. A man told me to get on Justin’s left, but I had practiced for his right, so I completely ignored him and was walking straight for Justin because someone was blocking me from his right side. Justin was standing there waving his arms in a really playful way, like ‘Which side are you gonna choose?’ I remember looking at him and thinking “Oh my God he’s flawless.” It all happened so fast that I couldn’t register what was going on. It was like one of those dreams where you can’t really see anything. When we took the picture Justin raised his arm like “HEY” but the picture was taken before his arm was all the way up, so it looks as if there is a invisible fan with us. It’s funny because now my picture is literally all over the internet and people are cropping me and drawing stick figures and stuff saying they are with Justin! When the picture was done I turned to Justin and said, “Justin” and he looked at me but I couldn’t look at him. I gave him a bracelet that I sell for charity and a man was motioning me to leave so I hurried out. On my way out I completely missed the curtain opening and almost ran into a bodyguard. I was in a daze. When I left, it was like my feet were glued to the ground. I couldn’t move and I’m pretty sure that the people after me left before I did. I started crying my eyes out and I was like, “What just happened oh my god.” My mom was like freaking out too. I looked up and saw Lil Twist and stopped crying . He was walking my way. My mom asked him if I could have a picture and he said yeah. A man came up to me to cut off my M&G wristband while I was trying to take a selfie. When he was cutting it off Lil Twist goes, “That’s dangerous!” Then I accidentally took a video of us, but he was so chill about it and waited for me to take a picture. After that I gave him a bracelet and he told me thank you. He walked away and I started crying, again. We went outside and were supposed to be let back in at 5:30 p.m., 30 minutes before everyone. But security never let us in which sucked because Pattie was right in front of the doors we were at. I was front row, and when I was sitting waiting for Carly to come on, I looked to my left and saw Justin’s grandpa Bruce! I ran over to him and was apparently the only one who noticed him. I asked for a picture and he told me that he couldn’t take a posed picture, but I was welcome to stand in front of him and take one, which I did and he smiled for it. I then gave him a bracelet and he read it out loud. “Make a change, that’s definitely what Justin does!” After that, Carly came on and looked and sounded amazing. When she finished performing her drummer gave me one of his drum sticks! After that was Justin, which was the best concert experience of my LIFE. During a song I was holding up a heart that said ‘Avalanna’ on it and he looked straight at me and smiled SO BIG! The show ended and I waited by the busses, as everyone else did. I saw DJ Tay James but before I realized it was him, he was gone. Justin never came out so we eventually left. I live 2 hours from Houston and on our way home we decided to get some food. We pulled into Wendy’s and saw a tour bus in the drive thru . I was in complete shock. Fredo was standing by the speaker thing and before I could calm down, he got back in the bus. That was basically the end of the best experience of my life. -@AmaniForSPCA/@amanisahyounie Read more: My Bieber Experience has been going on for about a two years…

When Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston are your parents, the odds aren’t really in your favor Bobbi … Bobbi Kristina’s Family Fears She Might Drink Herself To Death Via TMZ reports : Whitney Houston’s daughter Bobbi Kristina has a serious drinking problem … so say family members and close friends who tell TMZ it’s gotten even worse since she finished taping her reality show … and they fear she could die unless she does something about it. We broke the story … many people close to B.K. feel she has allowed some of Whitney’s enablers to get heavily involved in her life … and if Bobbi doesn’t cut them out soon, she’s doomed to the same fate as her mom. Those people — sources say — include various individuals who knew about Whitney’s problems, but didn’t take action when the singer’s life was spiraling out of control. Bobbi’s problems were highlighted during the premiere episode of her Lifetime series, “The Houstons: On Our Own” … which featured 19-year-old Bobbi slamming wine and slurring. The episode was taped a few months ago … and our sources say the boozing has only gotten worse since the show wrapped. During a tease for an upcoming episode, an emotional Pat Houston suggests taking Bobbi to California … where Whitney received treatment from a drug counselor before she died. Sources close to B.K. tell us … they DON’T WANT Bobbi to see the same counselor, because they feel he did not help Whitney … and will fail again with Bobbi. Sad, but it runs in the family. Her dad Bobby has to find it in him self to get and stay clean for his daughter’s sake and his own. Get your life together Bobbi!

Wait a minute, is that her “promise ring” or is Jordin already holdin’ some heavyweight hardware on her ring finger Apparently Jason Derulo is doing something right so far cuz the very talented and incredibly bangin’ Jordin Sparks is talking about getting hitched… to him! Via US Weekly reports : Former American Idol winner Sparks, 22, opened up to Us Weekly on the red carpet at City of Hope Honors Halston’s Ben Malka bash in L.A. Wednesday about her year-long romance with the R&B crooner — and revealed that they’re already talking marriage. “It’s not a conversation that we’re scared about,” Sparks explains. “Before, we both went through tragedies this year — he broke his neck and then [Sparkle costar] Whitney [Houston] passed — so before it might have been a little too crazy.” (While practicing choreography for his tour in January, Derulo missed a landing and fell on his neck, fracturing one of his vertebra. Doctors reportedly told him he “could have” been paralyzed. Sparks’ onscreen mother Houston died on February 11 at the age of 48.) Sparks says the couple’s priorities shifted after they took some time to reflect on the year’s events. “You really see the people you love and you go, I don’t want to lose you,” she explained. “So, it’s a conversation we have, but we’re not in a rush.” Although it might be a little while before wedding bells ring for the pair, Sparks says she’ll be thrilled whenever Derulo, 23, decides to pop the question. “I hope he does!” Sparks exclaimed. “It’s not happening yet, but I hope so!” We don’t know what that Jason Derulo dude did to deserve to be so blessed… He better do right by her! Jordin, is there something you want to tell us? Homegirl was definitely sporting a huge sparkler the night this photo was taken, which was back in MARCH at Muhammad Ali’s Fight Night XIII
Grandma knows best ? Via TMZ reports : Whitney Houston’s mother Cissy is deathly afraid Bobbi Kristina will die like just the singer — in a haze of drugs and other bad influences — which is why she wants to withhold Bobbi’s multi-million-dollar inheritance, sources tell TMZ. Sources close to Cissy tell us, Cissy feels Bobbi is currently surrounded by numerous negative influences — including her boyfriend Nick Gordon and father Bobby Brown — who will drain Bobbi’s fortune given half the chance. We’re told Cissy also feels 19-year-old Bobbi is still extremely impressionable right now — and if left unchecked with millions of dollars, Bobbi could end up going off the rails … eventually dying just like Whitney. According to sources, Cissy wants to wait until Bobbi has matured significantly more before she gets her money … an estate estimated at $20 million … though it’s unclear how long she wants her to wait. As for allegations Cissy is trying to withhold Bobbi’s fortune to hoard the money for herself — Cissy is telling friends that’s total BS … that’s it’s about protecting her family. As we reported, Cissy and Whitney’s sister-in-law Pat Houston filed a request this week to modify Whitney’s will — in order to change the distribution schedule of the estate. Dang, Grandma Cissy really ain’t tryin to let Krissy live right now! Do you think Cissy is just trying to keep the $$$ for herself or protect her granddaughter?
A video has surfaced showing the fight between Gunplay and 50 Cent ‘s crew at the BET Hip-Hop Awards the other night, and you can watch it from two angles below. NOTE: There is explicit language, plus Gunplay’s head hitting a barricade. Gunplay Gets Jumped By G-Unit 50 Cent-Gunplay Fight The clip shows the second BET Awards brawl (the first belonging to Young Jeezy and Rick Ross) begin out of nowhere, with Gunplay on the business end. Gunplay did weather the initial onslaught and manage to fight back – against five dudes, to hear him tell it – despite being outnumbered, just as he later claimed. It’s hard to see if 50 was personally involved at all, but someone on camera claims he was, and Gunplay later accused the rapper of “hiding behind security.” Gunplay also said he wants 50 dead, for the record. G-Unit rapper Mike Knox (who appears in the clip) said in a radio interview: “The only thing I can tell you is [Gunplay] was in the wrong place at the wrong time.” “[Gunplay] was acting a certain kinda way that he shouldn’t have been actin’ … So, he got dealt with … He got his ass kicked.” Nice, that about clears that up. There’s also video of the Rick Ross-Young Jeezy fight if you’re into this sort of thing. Someone’s gotta get their entourages to shoot iPhone videos horizontally.
Bobbi Kristina Brown may soon be a very rich young woman. But not if her family has anything to say about it. Following the death of her mother, Whitney Houston, this teenager stands to inherit around $20 million. Time to party it up with boyfriend Nick Gordon , right? Not so fast. According to TMZ, Cissy Houston and Pat Houston – Whitney’s mother and sister-in-law – have filed a request to modify the late singer’s will because they don’t believe Bobbi should receive the entire estate at once. Sources quote the relatives as believing such an influx of money would be “too much, too soon” for Bobbi, who has battle substance abuse problems over the years. The family wants to “protect [Bobbi Kristina] from herself,” says an insider, as the legal documents assert this 19-year old “is a highly visible target for those who would exert undue influence over her inheritance.” As Whitney Houston’s sole heir, Bobbi will take in 10% of her mother’s fortune when she turns 21; around 10% more when she turns 25; and the rest at 30. It’s unclear at the moment how Cissy and Pat’s plan would alter this arrangement.
