Monday comes around and my friends Jen and Jessica who’ve never…

Monday comes around and my friends Jen and Jessica who’ve never met Justin are holding my place in line for when Justin goes to the Radio Disney studio. I was writing my letter since I’m trying to sing with Justin. I finally got there an hour later than I was supposed to but no sign of Justin yet.  Hour by hour, more and more people showed up. By the time Justin came to Radio Disney, there was over 100 fans and the ones who screamed and ran up to Justin on his segway hadn’t helped. Mom had noticed Justin was parked in a red zone and figured that he wouldn’t be staying long if they weren’t moving the car. She and her friends daughter Nicolette decided to walk over and talk to him. For a second she thought it was Moshe but it was just another guy who looked like him. She asked him if he thought Justin would stop and he flat out told her Justin had been running late to another interview and the way the fans acted crazy (by screaming and running up to him), made it highly unlikely that he would stop for anyone. My mom then went on to talk to another one of the workers while I managed to give Vanessa my letter for Justin. Once my mom saw he wouldn’t be stopping we just decided to leave. We went to the car right as Justin was leaving as well. We decided to drive to Venice Beach and on the way there, Nicolette being 8 had to pee and couldn’t hold it in. We stopped by a French Bakery and noticed across the street from it was a radio station.  As we were driving, we saw Justin’s van and I immediately had my mom pull over. There was only one fan there other than our group. I saw Vanessa again and asked her if she could get Justin to stop for us.   She said she would talk to him about it but at the end of the day, it was his decision. Pattie then came out of Justin’s van. I said hi and she smiled and said it back and walked in. We saw Kenny put more things in the car and Justin hopped into the van. We weren’t aloud to walk up passed a line so Jen and I started screaming, “Justin please take pictures with us, please please Justin please.” We saw no response from him and none from Moshe. We figured it was time to give up and go to Venice. We were walking off the lot when Moshe yelled out, “Guys come back.” The five of us ran back towards the van. Jen hugged Moshe and said, “Thank you so much” and I hugged Justin and I was like, “You really don’t know what this means to us.” After the hug we stayed silent for a second and I was just like, “So um we should get our pictures”, because I was fairly sure he was in a rush. I was handing my camera to Jen and Justin grabbed it and took a selfie with me . He started taking pictures with Jen and Nicollette and they were kind of quiet so I told him about a dare I  had in 2010 from my best friend Katie who dared me to get a picture with him, of him kissing me on the cheek. He was like, “Yeah lets do this.” He proceeded to take a picture with the rest of the girls and my mom. I told him about how I may be getting ‘Believe’ tattooed on my left wrist and he smiled and showed me his tat and said he just got his done. My mom told Justin and Pattie that they inspire her and I and he hugged her, I was just like, “THATS MY MOM!!!” and he just laughed . After my mom took her picture with Justin, I told Justin about how I have a campaign called “Operation sing with JB and I’m trying to sing with him.” He smiled at me wide and said, “Thank you ladies!” Honestly Justin will never know how much he’s done to change my life. I will always be grateful and the memories I have with him honestly keep me going. Justin if you stumble on this one, I just want to say thanks. -@BIEBERINLA95 See more here: Monday comes around and my friends Jen and Jessica who’ve never…

‘Awkward’ Cast Previews ‘Shocking’ Season Two Premiere

‘Everything is still very fresh, very prevalent,’ star Beau Mirchoff tells MTV News about premiere, airing tonight (June 28) on MTV. By Jocelyn Vena “Awkward” castmembers Brett Davern, Molly Tarlov and Beau Mirchoff Photo: If you thought things couldn’t get any more — dare we say it — “Awkward” for Jenna on the hit MTV comedy of the same name, you should brace yourself for what’s to come in season two. After Jenna (played by Ashley Rickards) learned who wrote the infamous letter in season one that led many of her school peers to think she tried to commit suicide, she’s now dealing with the aftermath at home. Oh yeah, she’s also in the middle of a bit of a love triangle between new boy, Jake, and old beau, Matty. And given the fast pace of tonight’s (June 28) season premiere, expect her family and relationship drama to move along at a very rapid speed. “Season two takes place two weeks after the finale of season one, so everything is still very fresh, very prevalent,” Beau Mirchoff, who plays Matty, explained to MTV News. “The love triangle hasn’t been resolved, Sadie is as villainous as ever, all of her colors have shown. Jenna Hamilton has a lot of decisions to be made. I think the fans are going to love it.” Molly Tarlov, who plays aforementioned mean girl Sadie, explained that if you thought you were going to get lulled into Jenna’s life drama this season, think again. “We really start season two in the first episode just full force into it. The story moves along so quickly in the first episode,” she said. “There’s a lot of stuff that I will not just say surprising, I will say absolutely shocking, and is gonna, if you watch the first episode, is going to be really shocking to you.” [Warning: Spoiler ahead!] In addition to having to keep her love life in check, Jenna is also reeling from the news that her mother was the one who wrote the letter that forever changed her life. And that news will only make things harder for her at home as her mom tries to make it up to her, albeit not always in the most productive ways. “There’s a lot of, ‘Anywhere Jenna Hamilton goes, awkwardness is gonna follow,’ and that is very true with the letter as well,” teased Brett Davern, who stars as Jake. “I think it’s gonna cause some problems at home for her and within her family. And so, not only is her drama surrounding her school life, with us, the love triangle and all her friends and stuff, but also her at-home drama, I think, increases in season two as well.” Mirchoff added, “It doesn’t become known to Matty and Jake. [They] possibly find out about it later in the season, but not right away.” Don’t miss the season two premiere of “Awkward,” tonight (June 28) at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT (9:30 Central) on MTV!

Dominique Moceanu Reveals Long-Lost Sister Jen Bricker: An Acrobat With No Legs!

Dominique Moceanu, a member of the 1996 Olympic gold-medal-winning US women’s gymnastics team, received the biggest bombshell of her life. As her father was dying, and weeks before she gave birth to her first child, she got a letter fro, Jen Bricker, saying that she her biological sister. As ABC’s 20/20 reported last Friday, Bricker revealed that their parents gave her up for adoption when they found out that she had no legs. Dominique Moceanu 20/20 Interview The news was equally shocking to Bricker, who grew up idolizing Moceanu, the youngest member of the US Olympic teams “Magnificent Seven.” “I wouldn’t shut up about Dominique!” said Bricker, who incredibly had no idea at the time that the gymnastics champion was her sister. “I knew she was Romanian. I knew we looked alike. Her biggest fan!” Amazingly, Bricker, now 24, is a gymnast too. Having no legs didn’t stop her from excelling in volleyball, basketball and softball in her youth. But, just like her sister, 30, her true passion is gymnastics. Bricker even made it all the way to the Junior Olympics as a power tumbler. When Bricker was 16, her parents, an Illinois couple who adopted her as a baby, revealed to her that Moceanu was actually her older sister. Four years later, Bricker sent a letter to Dominique. Published in Moceanu’s new memoir Off Balance , the letter included photos and Bricker’s adoptive papers. Bricker wrote to her sister: “I feel that I have one chance to show you I’m not some crazy person, but I’m sure after seeing all of the papers, you’ll see that I’m serious.” Moceanu recounted to ABC her reaction to the letter: “It was the biggest bombshell of my life. Rage was my first emotion, had my life been a lie? I had this sister that was born who was given up for adoption, and I never knew it.” When she confronted her parents, they told her that Bricker was in fact her sister and was born one day after Moceanu’s sixth birthday. Her mother, Camelia, said that her husband, Dmitry, forced her to give up the baby, saying that they couldn’t afford the medical care. “I never saw my baby. I never held her, never touched her, never even smelled her. I desperately wanted to, but your father told me we had to give her up and that was that,” Camelia told Dominique. Moceanu had had a tumultuous relationship for years with her parents, who had been athletes and put her in gymnastics at age three. At 17, Moceanu legally emancipated herself from her parents, whom she claimed had repressed her and squandered her fortune. She also had a restraining order against her father, who had stalked her and who she feared had hired someone to kill two of her close friends. They later reconciled, however, and Dmitry even walked Moceanu down the aisle at her 2006 wedding before he passed away in 2008. The sisters now have a close bond and continue to marvel at their similarities. “The tones in our voices, our handwriting, the way we laugh and chuckle. It’s mind-blowing,” Moceanu said of Bricker, who enjoys a strong career as an acrobat and aerialist and has even toured the world with Britney Spears !

PTC Calls for America’s Got Talent Boycott Over "Vulgar" Howard Stern

The Parents Television Council is at it once again. This time, the focus of the organization’s wrath is NBC and its decision to hire Howard Stern as a judge on the upcoming season of America’s Got Talent . In a follow-up to its original statement, slamming the show’s decision to hire this controversial radio host, the PTC has now called for a boycott from all advertisers, sending a letter to 91 companies and urging them to consider their “media buy” in light of this “vulgar” new panelist. America’s Got Talent Preview: Welcome, Howard Stern Stern is only an expert when it comes to “looking at insecure, naked young women and telling them whether or not they were hot enough to pose for Playboy,” the letter, obtained by TMZ, reads. Does his decades-lone penchant for profanity, his affinity for degrading and sexualizing women, and his proclivity for vulgar and explicit dialog, accurately reflect your corporate values? the PTC asks advertisers in the letter. Seems a bit harsh to us. It’s not like the guy ever tried to have phone sex with Octomom . Oh… right. What do you think? Should Howard Stern be a judge on America’s Got Talent?

I went to Radio Disney and I found out Justin would be there on…

I went to Radio Disney and I found out Justin would be there on Monday to promote Boyfriend! I was stoked to get a chance to meet him especially since Radio Disney is in Burbank, CA by my mom’s work.  Fast forward to Monday, I went to my home school session but this time it was particularly hard to focus taking an english test. My phone kept buzzing with Justin’s tweets. Right after it ended, we drove to Burbank. My mom went into a shop so I decided to call Radio Disney offices and found out he was already there ! I begged my mom and she rushed as fast as she could to get there. We got to the studio and I saw girls so I figured he hadn’t left yet! I was becoming anxious of meeting Justin because this time to the line up of things I’ve done for him, I wrote a song and posted it on YouTube and I had so much to tell him. About 1 hour after waiting, he came out of the station and there he was talking to Shelby, I was so nervous but I had to try. I lightly tapped him and poked him o n the shoulder and gave him the Bieber dictionary I made him. He did this cute hug thing to it, then I asked him for a picture but since my mom was taking it, it didn’t come out. So he took a picture with another girl and I had to ask him for another one. While we were taking our picture, I told him about how I’d been waiting to give him the dictionary face to face since 2010 and he was like, “Really?” and I was like, “Yeah and you don’t even follow me on Twitter,” and he was like, “What’s your twitter” and was getting ready to pull his phone out and follow me! I was like it’s in there and I pointed to the dictionary. Then I put my hand out and I was like, “Promise me you’ll follow me on Twitter?” And he took my hand and looked me in the eyes and was like “I promise” and I was like and, “You’ll read my letter?” And he said, “..and I’ll read your letter!” I can honestly say it was all worth it, all the times HATERS told me I’d never meet Justin again, or being a belieber is just a waste of time. They were all wrong. Justin if your reading this, thank you, for giving me the strength to believe in my dreams again, and I truly hope someday well sing together. You’re my inspiration, my role model, and a big influence on my life! By the way you never followed me lol.  To all the Beliebers reading this NEVER SAY NEVER! -@ BieberinLa95 Song I wrote for Justin The rest is here: I went to Radio Disney and I found out Justin would be there on…

An Open Letter To Axl Rose And Guns N’ Roses Fans Everywhere

Our columnist comes out in support of the last remaining rock star after Axl’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame kiss-off. By James Montgomery Axl Rose Photo: Jeff Kravitz/ FilmMagic To: W. Axl Rose, Guns N’ Roses Fans and Whom It May Concern, Greetings from New York City, which is approximately 490 miles from Cleveland, site of this weekend’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony and roughly 50 bazillion miles from whatever Bedouin caravan Mr. Rose is currently encamped with — though, to be honest, it feels much farther removed from both. Especially given the reaction most GN’R fans have had to Rose’s open letter to the Hall of Fame , which he published Wednesday and which has subsequently turned him into the most hated man on the Internet. Here’s the thing (and, really, the reason I’m writing this letter): Despite the thousands of comments his letter has generated — which largely run the gamut from “YOU SUCK” to “Axl Rose is a freaking whiny-ass bitch” — I’m happy to be in the minority of people who seemingly have no problem with it whatsoever. In fact, I think it’s pretty awesome. Another boy-band explosion? James Montgomery takes a closer look at One Direction and the Wanted and what their popularity means for music. Because I support Axl Rose. And yes, I am aware that, in the past , I have called him “the creepy old guy with the Raiders jersey who lives on top of the hill” and compared him to Lil Wayne . And sure, I realize his recent, uh, output might not be on par with Guns’ previous efforts (anyone can have a bad 20 years). But after reading his letter, none of those things matter. Or, if anything, they actually made it better for me. Because Axl Rose is a rock star. Maybe the last one standing. He is an anachronism and an enigma. There will never be another like him, and really, his missive to the Rock Hall is just further proof of all those points. To wit: There are a lot of words in Rose’s letter (more than 1,000 of them), none of which are “apology.” This is because Axl never apologizes. Because he doesn’t have to, and he doesn’t care if that offends you. He also never allows himself to be backed into a corner — and everything from his unrelenting blood feud with Slash to the 15-year wait for Chinese Democracy is basically proof of this — and he intimates at several points in his letter that everyone from the HOF committee to his former bandmates was basically attempting to do just that. So rather than be intimidated, Rose just decided to walk away from the whole thing. As he writes, “No one’s taking the ball and going home. … From my perspective … the ball’s never been in our court.” It’s easy to call Rose a jerk for doing this, but, really, he is a jerk. It’s what makes him who he is and why he’s still able to sell out arenas around the world. We’ve come to expect nothing less, and yet we’re willing to vilify him for acting the way he always has. Katy Perry, beneath the crown: James Montgomery takes us inside his interview with the pop princess to see what she’s really like off-camera. In some bizarre way, by skipping the induction (and asking his name not be mentioned in absentia), Rose displays a supreme level of actual integrity. Unlike, say, Ozzy Osbourne, who previously asked that his band Black Sabbath no longer be considered for the Hall only to show up at the 2006 induction and call it an “achievement,” Axl won’t come crawling back. And unlike fellow 2006 inductees Blondie, he spared anyone the ugly onstage feud that surely would’ve erupted by simply saying, “No thanks.” He does what he wants and only what he wants. And the same goes for that much-discussed GN’R reunion, which he shuts down in the letter because, really, it’s “time to move on.” And that last quote should be taken to heart by all the Guns fans out there raging against Rose today. Because, really, it is time to move on. Move on from your misguided beliefs that Rose is ever going to change or suddenly have a moment of clarity. It’s been, like, 20 years now, and he’s never wavered from his original point: No reunion, not ever. Guns N’ Roses are still a band and they still tour, and if you don’t like it, then don’t come out to the shows. Even though you probably still will. So, sure, be angry with Axl today. Make claims of never listening to his music again (which would suppose he’s ever going to make music again) and accuse him of putting himself before his fans. But don’t take him to task for being the same person he’s been for 25 years now, because, really, you wouldn’t want him to change. Not for a reunion tour, not for an induction ceremony, not for anything. He will continue to blaze his own path whether you follow him or not. And I applaud him for doing so. He is Axl Rose, after all. He is rock and roll in an era where that phrase has increasingly less clout. We want him on that wall. We need him on that wall. It’s about the only way we can sleep at night, knowing somewhere, Axl is watching over us all. And writing open letters to let us know he still cares. Sincerely, James Montgomery Is Axl a jerk, the last real rock star or all of the above? Let us know in the comments or hit me up on Twitter @positivnegativ! Related Artists Guns N’ Roses

Jamaican Drug Kingpin Christopher “Dudus” Coke Faces Sentencing In U.S….Could Get 23 Years In Prison

Remember this guy ??? Jamaican drug kingpin Christopher “Dudus” Coke is scheduled to be sentenced this week in federal court in Manhattan after pleading guilty last year to racketeering and assault charges. Coke, who U.S. authorities say is so ruthless that he once ordered a rival killed with a chainsaw, faces up to 23 years in prison. Coke was captured in 2010 in Jamaica during a bloody siege of his ghetto stronghold that left more than 70 dead. At the time, he waived extradition to the United States and vowed to fight drug trafficking, gun smuggling, racketeering and other charges. The 43-year-old Coke has sought mercy in a letter to the judge, but prosecutors have argued that leniency isn’t an option. They want Coke to serve the maximum term and be deported. Coke was a divisive figure in Jamaica, where he followed in the footsteps of his father, Lester Lloyd Coke, better known as Jim Brown, a leader of the notorious Shower Posse during the 1980s cocaine wars. Authorities say he took over the organization when his father, also sought in the United States, died in a mysterious fire in a Jamaican prison cell in 1992. In the U.S., Coke controlled a network of large-scale drug dealers who would send him “tribute” payments of cash, electronics, or guns, court papers say. Prosecutors also allege Coke relied on women to smuggle cocaine – concealed in condoms and inserted into their vaginas – into the United States on commercial flights to New York City or Miami. One woman who refused to do it was gang-raped and murdered, the court papers say. Several women abused by Coke’s gang in Jamaica have written to the sentencing judge asking him to give the defendant a harsh punishment. They’ve also insisted on anonymity. “I might be targeted for death by the Shower Posse if this letter is brought to the public record,” one woman wrote. “But this letter is my contribution to Jamaica and the Jamaicans for their future.” Source More On Bossip!
