Give Megan Lochte credit: This is certainly a new line of defense. After being slammed for her appearance on a Maryland-based radio this week, during which she repeatedly used the word “Chink” to describe Chinese citizens and lumped them together with the Japanese as “Asian,” or “whatever [Americans] want them to be,” the sister of star swimmer Ryan Lochte has come out and explained: It was all an act!
My name is Francesca, I’m 15 and I’m from Italy. Justin means everything to me. It was on 2th June 2012 when I met him. At the beginning of the day, it wasn’t a great one for me. I hadn’t won to see Justin or the M&G. I hadn’t won to see him perform live, I hadn’t won anything! I didn’t loose hope and I travelled from Rome to Milan to find him. I was so sure I’d never seen him, it was really sad. In the afternoon, I decided to try, anyway. I went outside his hotel and waited about two or three hours with many others Beliebers. There was a moment when I thought, “He’ll never come out. Never. It’s been like three hours that I’ve been here, nobody is coming out!” But then he actually came out! I was like “Oh my God, I cannot believe this. It’s Justin Drew Bieber, he is in front of me!” I was so excited and so scared at the same time, too many emotions, I just couldn’t help myself. Justin was so kind with EVERYONE of us, I swear. He was so happy to see us waiting hours for him. He was absolutely amazing. He was an angel, his smile was so contagious and so beautiful. Not only did he make my day, he made my life. When he looked at me, I was like “This is not possible.” He smiled and said to me, “Come here,” and we took a photo. THE IMPOSSIBLE CAME TRUE! Never say never, right? Thank you Justin, I will now fight for my dreams, I never give up in my life. I believe in every word he says, I believe in every step he takes. I hope one day he’ll read this, I’d be the happiest girl in the world seriously. See the original post here: My name is Francesca, I’m 15 and I’m from Italy. Justin…
My names Georgia and this is My Bieber Experience from New Zealand . I was with my sister and we were actually going to see the Dark Knight (only because I missed winning tickets to Justin’s show). We decided to take a drive by of The Cloud (where his private concert was) and then we saw this swarm of Beliebers running in the other direction. I was like OMG why are they running? Then we see like 2 huge blacked out Mercedes vans and a little mob of cars driving in a line behind. I was like, “That’s Justin F**king Bieber” (followed by a whole lot of inappropriate words). We followed them all the way to like the other end and then we predicted he would come out a specific exit and he did! Then the chase was on and like other beliebers were in their cars following the 2 vans and 2 cars. We thought they may go to the Langham but he had to eat so we kept on following them . They noticed us so decoy cars went in all opposite directions. The other beliebers went and followed the other cars but we decided to stay with the huge van (which then also tried to lose us/ was switching lanes etc.) We ended up loosing them but then my sister predicted another street and sure enough, it was there! Then it randomly stopped in this dark part of the street so we waited and watched the van for like an hour. Then the guy pulled out of the street and went to the dairy; he was like a security guard so I hopped out of the car and went in the dairy as well. He was like looking at me looking like, “WTF GO AWAY” and scanning me up and down (what a creep) and then my sister was like, “No ones in the van.” I was guttered but we waited a bit and watched the van. We went back down the street thinking we just got decoyed away but then we see TWO HUGE BODY GUARDS outside a Japanese restaurant called Cocoro . It was either the Japanese Mafia or Justin. I rang the restaurant and asked if I could make a reservation and they said, “NO SORRY WE’RE FULLY BOOKED.” I then asked if I could order a takeaway. Then the Asian guy was hesitant and said, “Ahhhh sorry, no takeaway tonight.” We clicked that Justin was there! We waited and waited (longest dinner ever) and then Alfredo came out for some air. Kenny came out and shook a person’s hand. We were still hiding in the car because no one was allowed in the restaurant. Finally the same grey van we had followed from the beginning came back! Selena came out and then came Justin! I almost fainted, I was shaking. He flicked his hair and I was like can I have a picture and he said, “Sure you can!” and was so lovely . It was blurry so he was like, “Hang on take another one” and took the iPhone out of my hand and took a picture of us! He was about to leave and I was like, “Justin can I touch your hand?” (LOL I couldn’t think of anything) He like laughed and then gave me a HUGE HUG and he smelt SO GOOD!! After he left, Kenny and Alfredo came out. Kenny and I had a great chat. At first I was like, “Omg I love you Kenny!” and he was like, “Wait, wait what’s your name?” I was like, “Georgia” and he said, “Nice to meet you, I’m Kenny.” I DIED. After I took a picture with Dan, he was like “Wait I have something for you” and handed me his pick! Pretty much I was on cloud 9 and died because it was amazing. No one else found them except my sister, her friend and me! View post: My names Georgia and this is My Bieber Experience from New…

Although Emily Blunt came close to being cast in two different Marvel superhero movies, it’s not until later this year that she gets her first action-type role in Rian Johnson’s time travel thriller Looper . But her turn as a gun-toting farm girl is just the beginning for Blunt: She’s currently in intense training to play a lethal soldier in Doug Liman ’s futuristic sci-fi All You Need Is Kill , opposite Tom Cruise . Set against the backdrop of an alien war, All You Need Is Kill (based on Hiroshi Sakurazaka and Yoshitoshi Abe’s Japanese graphic novel) revolves around a soldier who dies in battle only to wake up to re-live the same day over and over again – think Groundhog Day with aliens and Tom Cruise. Blunt will play Valkryie One, a highly-decorated special forces fighter who Cruise encounters while trapped in his time loop. Blunt is currently training stateside before going to London to learn fight choreography for a month ahead of an October filming date. Speaking with Movieline over the weekend at Comic-Con, where she, Johnson, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt presented footage from Looper , Blunt described her regimen for what she describes as “the most ass-kicking role I’ll probably do.” “I basically do ten workouts a week,” she said. “Two a day, five days a week – it’s hell! And I’ve cut out drinking wine, which is really sad! That’s the thing I miss most.” “But I’m going to build these guns out,” she added, flexing her biceps. “They’re coming, right? I’m like that in the mirror. I’m just flexing over and over, and John [Krasinski]’s like, ‘Holy shit!’” Why action, and why now? “Really, it’s about timing and about the right part, the right moment and the right crew of people. It’s never been that I’ve turned my nose up at doing that. This really felt like the right time to do it, and you can’t ask for a better team than Tom and Doug – Doug is such a visionary and Tom is the most accomplished action guy you can find. We sat down a few times, we had a table read and character development talks, and he’s really fantastic in the room with that stuff; he’s very collaborative and very, very professional. And he’s fun.” Audiences who are used to seeing Blunt in films like The Devil Wears Prada and The Young Victoria might not expect to see her tear through battlefields and mow down aliens alongside Cruise – and that might make the shift all the more impressive. “Doug Liman said to me, ‘I wanted to cast you because I don’t think people expect it, and there’s something a bit more lethal about that,’” Blunt recalled. Will we get to see Blunt use her newfound lethal skills Cruise at least once or twice during their time looped adventure? “I can’t say! Maybe there’s a little bit of that… maybe,” she hinted with a smile. “I’m learning martial arts now, so hopefully I have a few scenes where I can take him out.” Read more from Comic-Con 2012 and stay tuned for our Looper chat with Blunt.

I have Lindsay Lohan’s phone number, or at least it was her phone number a few years ago, cuz she’s the one who texted me in one of her fits of crazy, that led to a great friendship that ended in her hotel room 3 years ago… I still text it every couple of days, but rarely get a response….until yesterday where she or whoever it was pretending to be her, went nuts, saying they will call the police and that I am a stalker and shit…. To which I replied; Good luck on the low grade made for TV movie that screams “I failed bro”….you were a superstar…..now you are nothing….go fuck your useless self with Sam Ronson’s dick….. That is how romance happens…and it made me laugh, more than her posting this picture where she is playing Liz Taylor as Cleopatra that she felt was Japanese…She’s boring, but I still think she’s got great fake tits…and sometimes that is all that matters….

I know that Kim Kardashian is primarily known for her absolutely massive booty and falling ass backwards into stardom, but her breasts are pretty good too you know. Here they are all squished together like Japanese people in the subway at rush hour while she does a little shopping in Paris. See now this I like, the dress says I’m a classy lady, but the cleavage says for eighteen dollars I’ll rub my booty on your lap. One song only.
It’s been 25 years since Paul Verhoeven’s RoboCop painted a nightmare vision of a near future in which a cyborg policeman became humanity’s salvation — so how will the upcoming reboot, starring Swedish-American actor Joel Kinnaman (AKA Holder of TV’s The Killing ), update the tale? Movieline spoke with Kinnaman, who continues his Hollywood cross-over attempt in Friday’s New York drama Lola Versus , about Jose Padilha ’s RoboCop — and the real-world technology that suggests we’re already in a much different future than the original envisioned. Not convinced that the robot future is close at hand? Just take a look at the cyborg advances that have been made in Japan, where Kinnaman joked he’d be going to spend time with lifelike robots in preparation for his RoboCop role. “Have you seen these Japanese hospital droids, or humanoids or whatever they call them? They’ve perfected the skin, the skin looks so real, and they have these motors between the eyes for when they smile,” he marveled. “It’s just mind-blowing. We’re pretty close already. You can find it on YouTube. It’s spooky, but we’re getting really close.” Kinnaman says shooting on the remake begins for him in September, with Gary Oldman on board to play Norton, a scientist responsible for turning the human Alex Murphy into RoboCop. Today, THR broke the news that Samuel L. Jackson playing “Pat Novak, a charismatic TV mogul and a powerful force in the Robocop world.” As for writer-director Padilha ( Elite Squad , Elite Squad 2 ), Kinnaman had high praise. “He’s a young master, and a very strong visionary, and he wants to make something with a lot of substance, he said. “If you’ve seen Elite Squad then you know the action sequences are a walk in the park for him, he can portray action very realistically – and that’s how he wants to do this movie.” “It takes place in the future and it’s RoboCop , but it’s still going to feel like a gritty, down to earth movie,” he added. “With a lot of fireworks around it, but…” Back in September, Padilha spoke with Movieline describing his take on RoboCop and the deeper questions his version will explore: Even looking at the first RoboCop , which is a film that I love, it’s not local in that sense; it has an acid critique of society as a whole and it also deals with different subject matter that is more universal, like what is it like to replace people with automatic systems? A lot of jobs today are being automated; what happens when you extend that concept to very important areas of society like law enforcement? What happens if you start controlling the behavior of criminals or people in general with software-running machines? Those questions, they look like they’re sci-fi but they’re not. Pretty soon we’ll have robots in our society, you’re going to have a lot of automated processes that used to be done by people – this is happening. Society and technology is changing so fast, and the impact of the change on society and technology is global, not local. RoboCop talks a little bit about this. What does it mean to replace a person or enhance a person by using technology? What does that do to the person themselves? What sort of drama does it create, what sort of philosophical questions lurk behind those things? Kinnaman, meanwhile, has said his and Padilha’s approach to the character is more of an “acting piece” than Peter Weller’s original turn; a reported costume update means his eyes will be more visible, for starters. Asked to elaborate, he offered this explanation of how their RoboCop will differ from Verhoeven’s: “It just comes from the realization that our vision of a robot 30 years from now is very different from the vision of what a robot was in the future in 1987. That is the main thing. Obviously there are some things in the script that lead into that, but that stuff I can’t talk about.” Check back for the full Movieline interview this week.
