The police had to evacuate the entire place! Via ABC News : The Mall of Louisiana was evacuated Saturday night after a flash mob turned into an ugly brawl. Cellphone video captured the chaos as shoppers jammed escalators and ran for the nearest exits in Baton Rouge, the state capital. Employees at the mall were ordered to abandon their cash registers and evacuate immediately. The fight broke out in the mall food court, where 200 teens had gathered for a flash mob. “We think there was some sort of post on social media about a flash mob for tonight which drew such a large crowd of juveniles,” Casey Rayborn Hicks, a spokeswoman for the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office, said. Hicks said deputies are investigating the events that led to the fight. The panic was especially acute, weeks after a gunman opened fire at an Oregon mall, killing three people, including himself, and injuring one. “Saw people running and screaming I turned around a girl told me someone has a gun I started running with them,” shopper Missy Melancon wrote on Facebook. No injuries or weapons were reported, though nerves were rattled. “Never been that scared in my life,” Juston D’Nea Millet wrote on Facebook. “People were running everywhere. It was like a movie, but you were in it.” SMH. We thought the hype around flash mobs had finally worn off. Images via youtube/facebook

In the latest issue of Harper’s Bazaar , Jennifer Lopez makes it clear: she heads over heels for Casper Smart . “He’s fantastic; he’s like my best friend,” the ex- American Idol judge tells the magazine. “I can tell him everything, when I’m feeling down, when I’m feeling good. He gives moral support, endless love and support.” Aside from opening up about her young boyfriend, J. Lo also touches on her career in general and a certain iconic fashion statement… On her professional/personal worlds : I’m a singer. I’m a dancer. I’m a performer. I’m an actress. That’s what I’m supposed to be doing. It makes me a better parent, a better person. On staying grounded : I make it as simple and as beautiful as I can because my life is kind of big. So I pack my luggage, or dress myself, or comb my kids’ hair, pick up their clothes – that makes our life beautiful, you know? On her dress for the Grammy Awards in 2000 : “I have that at home. The other day, my housekeeper put it on a mannequin in my spa, where I get my hair and makeup done. She sent me a picture. She was like, ‘You like this dress?’ Um, yeah, but I don’t know if I like it out in the house!
My name is Arielle, and this is my Bieber experience. “Never Say Never”, that is Justin’s motto, and I’ve recently learned the meaning of the phrase, when my prayers were answered, on November 29, 2012. A fan is somebody who supports someone or something, and enjoys what they do. However a Belieber is a whole other level of a fanbase. We, Beliebers legit know his every move, we aren’t just fans, we have a certain dedication to Justin, and will not fail to oblige to our duty. I have been a supporter of the Biebs for close to 4 years and have always been dreaming of going to one of his concerts, but since I live in NYC, they were all sold out by the time I would get to my computer to buy them. I have always been harassing my parents for Bieber tickets, since 2010, and finally my Dad agreed to buy some for me. The first night the Believe tour tickets went on sale, I waited by my computer and my Dad bought me floor seats to Justin’s Believe Concert at Barclays Center in Brooklyn . Since they were Justin Bieber tickets, they were really expensive and my Dad said that they would count as my Hanukkah present for all 8 nights. I honestly couldn’t care less because my dream had come true, and I was going on November 12 to see my idol. As we got to the concert, we were really close, in the 11th row, but these obnoxious girls were holding up their signs, so I was unable to see Justin. As Justin began to sing Love Me Like You Do, my favorite song off the album, they began to lower their signs, and I could see my baby! The concert was great, and I couldn’t have asked for a better performance. The next week, my dad asked me if I had any tests, on November 30th, and I asked “Why?”, and he said, “Ask Mommy.” I did, and my mom told me that my dad’s friend was actually Kenny Hamilton’s dentist, and that I would be able to attend Justin’s meet and greet, followed by the concert at MSG, on Thursday, November 29, with his kids! The second I heard this news, my eyes filled with tears, and I was the happiest girl in the world. I was told by my parents that I had to keep this a secret for the next week until the actual thing, because they didn’t want me to come upon as bragging to anyone, so I did this, as hard as it was. My brothers also didn’t know, so I couldn’t talk about it in the house either. The next week felt like forever, but finally November 29, had come. I had to leave school early, so that I could attend the meet and greet, but of course I didn’t mind. We arrived at MSG, and stood in line for close to an hour. We then went up the stairs to the meet and greet line to wait. 20 minutes of waiting in the line, Dan Kanter walks by, followed by security guards, and I guess everyone was distracted by all of the chaos and didn’t realize besides me. I yelled, “OMG, it’s Dan Kanter.” We then locked eyes and he said Hi to me. It was actually amazing. Then about a half an hour later, Scooter walks by wearing a baseball cap and a hoodie trying to cover his face so that nobody would realize, but that clearly didn’t work because he was chased by a mob of beliebers, including me. The security guards yelled at us, and told us that we had to go back to our spots in line, or else we wouldn’t be able to meet Justin. Of course, everyone was back in line in an instant. It felt like forever until it was finally our turn to meet my idol, my everything, the one and only, Justin Bieber. It was almost our turn in line, and the lady in charge said that we weren’t allowed to get any autographs or take any personal pictures. I could see Justin now, his skin was perfectly flawless, and I have never seen anything as beautiful as him in my life. He was also coincidentally wearing the same Varsity Jacket as I was, which was unbelievable and amazing . We were told to go take a picture with him, but there my friend (who wasn’t even a belieber) was next to him. This was my only chance to meet him, and I couldn’t risk not being next to him in the picture. So I did what I thought was necessary, and softly nudged my friend, so that I could be next to him. She totally understood, and wasn’t upset about it. After we had taken the picture I spilled to him my feelings and how much he meant to me, and at the last second requested a hug, which he gave to me . We were then escorted out of the small room, and by then I was bawling my eyes out. It was actually the greatest moment of my life, and I wouldn’t change anything. As we were walking out, we spotted Kenny and my friends told him that their dad was his dentist, he suddenly realized who we were and gave us all hugs, he apologized for not being able to take pictures because the security guards were really aggressive about it, but then agreed to sign our phone cases , which we were all thrilled about. The concert was amazing, and I even enjoyed it more than the one at Barclays Center. My dream has come true, and I will thank God for what he has granted me with, every day of my life. I met my idol, and everything I have been dreaming of since 2010, has happened. I will always remain a belieber, and will always look back to this moment in my life, for as long as I live. Thank you Justin for always being there for us Beliebers, and for telling us to always live our dream. I have lived my dream, and I hope this story gives you all hope. Don’t let anyone ever tell you that you will never meet Justin, and that you will never be able to live your dream, because I did, and you can too. #NeverSayNever Read the original: My name is Arielle, and this is my Bieber experience….
My name is Anaïs. My Bieber Experience happened on November 26 th 2012 in Montreal, Canada. It all started when Justin announced his tour dates. I was so excited, maybe he would come to my city aka Narnia. I was checking the date list and that’s when I saw ‘Montreal – Bell Center.’ I started freaking out. “YESSS OMG THERE’S MY CHANCE TO MEET JUSTIN.” But then I saw the date was November 26 th 2012. So here’s my story: my dad had a daughter with another woman before he had me with my mom. His daughter’s name was Laurence but she died in a car accident a few years before I was born (I didn’t have the chance to meet her but I still went to the cemetery every year with my dad) After that, my dad and Laurence’s mom had another child (he’s my brother) but I rarely see him because he lives with his mom. My dad and his mom split up 3 months after he was born. Everybody thinks I’m an only child but I’m not. 2 years later my dad met my mom and they had me, yay. But I was born with a kidney tumor. Miraculously it disappeared with almost no treatment. There are people who call that a medical miracle but I think it’s my sister who protects me in heaven. My parents split up when I was 5 years old and my mom didn’t have anywhere to go so I went to live with her at her friend’s house (@loribarakat’s mom) All my life I always felt so lonely. Even my own brother abandoned me, he never calls me or wishes me happy birthday. I was 10 years old when I got hospitalized because I was sad and lonely. Doctors have referred me to a psychologist until the age of 12. I still feel the same today because I know that my sister and brother are not going to come back. I used to wish that my parents would get back together just before blowing my birthday candles. My mom started dating another man and that’s when I knew my wish wouldn’t come true. I was 12 years old when I saw Justin’s cover of ‘With You’ and I immediately fell in love with him. I’ve been supporting Justin ever since that day and I promise that I’ll be here until the end. So on May 23 rd I bought my VIP meet and greet tickets. I was so happy. I cried for 5 hours straight. I t was the best thing that ever happened to me. People are so quick to judge when I say I support Justin Bieber, but what they don’t understand is, when I hear his voice, all the bad thoughts I have disappear. His music is the only thing in this world that actually works to make me feel less lonely and a lot happier. I also met lots of awesome people because of him who have become really good friends. Plus, Justin’s music has helped me get through lots of things, that’s why I wanted to meet him so bad. I just love him so much. The day I met Justin was simply the most beautiful day of my life. Being able to talk to him in person was unreal. For once, I can say that I had a real smile on my face. All day I felt like I was in a movie. I saw Kenny (he gave me a high five), Dan, Fredo, Jazzy, Jaxon, his dad Jeremy, Pattie, and even his grandparents. I was in second row and I couldn’t ask for more. I am so grateful for all that. Justin changed my life and I know it’s for the best. Dreams do come true. I never thought that one day I would be writing My Bieber Experience, but Never Say Never, right? Today I’m 16 years old, I’m proud to be a belieber and I’m proud to say I met my idol on November 26 th . The exact same day my sister passed away a few years ago. Read more: My name is Anaïs.

Swirl : 1 , Black Men: 0 George Lucas Engaged To Mellody Hobson One of Hollyweird’s biggest power couples is finally getting hitched! Via HuffPo reports: HuffPost Celebrity can report that filmmaker George Lucas and his girlfriend of seven years, businesswoman Mellody Hobson, are engaged. The famed director, 68, and his longtime partner and president of a big-time Chicago-based investment management firm, Ariel Investments LLC, 43, are no strangers to showcasing their relationship in the spotlight. The pair are often spotted hand-in-hand on the red carpet, everywhere from the Cannes Film Festival to Formula One Grand Prix races to the NAACP awards. This will be the second marriage for the “Star Wars” writer-director — he was previously married to Marcia Lucas (1969–1983) — and the first marriage for Hobson, who helms the $3 billion investment firm and is a regular financial contributor to “Good Morning America.” Lucas recently made headlines after donating $4 billion to an education foundation — the amount he received after selling Lucasfilm Ltd. (which Lucas solely owned) to Disney. “For 41 years, the majority of my time and money has been put into the company,” Lucas said of his donation. “As I start a new chapter in my life, it is gratifying that I have the opportunity to devote more time and resources to philanthropy.” George Lucas is a very lucky man. His girl has brains, beauty and a some nice boobies! We ain’t even made at it. Congratulations!!! Hit the flip to check out a gallery of the beautiful power couple next!
Let’s kick off the new year with lady-killers of two different generations: Twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson retains his seductive abilities in a very different kind of role, while Dean Martin gets embroiled in a 1960s sex farce. Both movies are thoroughly entertaining, but they’re also about as polar-opposite as it gets, making them the perfect antipodes for my first column of 2013. HIGH: Cosmopolis (EOne; $24.98 DVD, $29.98 Blu-Ray) WHO’S RESPONSIBLE: Written and directed by David Cronenberg , based on the novel by Don DeLillo; starring Robert Pattinson, Juliette Binoche, Paul Giamatti , Samantha Morton , Mathieu Amalric, Jay Baruchel WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT: Wall Street whiz kid Eric Packer (Pattinson) just wants to drive across New York City in his thoroughly tricked-out white limozeen (as Dolly Parton might call it) to get a haircut from his childhood barber. But between a presidential visit, anarchist riots and mysterious death threats, Packer spends most of the day hosting an assortment of visitors (from mistresses to business associates bearing bad news) in the car, exiting occasionally to share a series of elliptical conversations with his sexually-frustrated wife over meals. Is he doomed? Is the universe coming to an end? Anything can happen in this moody mix of Last Year at Marienbad via The Bonfire of the Vanities . WHY IT’S SCHMANCY: Cosmopolis would make a perfect double feature with another Cronenberg literary adaptation, Crash ; they both revolve around cars (and the juncture of man and machine) and everyone speaks in that whispery monotone that either makes you cock an ear toward the screen or storm out in irritation. This new film may test your patience with its seeming indifference to things like plot, but if you stick with it, you’ll find that it does build toward something fascinating, helped along by a strong Pattinson performance that suggests he’s got a post–sparkle-vampire screen career. WHY YOU SHOULD OWN IT: The Blu-Ray features cast and crew interviews, and both versions offer a “Citizens of Cosmopolis ” featurette and a director commentary; among today’s filmmakers, Cronenberg ranks as one of the most articulate about what he does (albeit in a whispery monotone of his own), so his commentary tracks are always worth checking out. LOW: How to Save a Marriage (and Ruin Your Life) (Sony Pictures Home Entertainment; $20.95 DVD) WHO’S RESPONSIBLE: Written by Stanley Shapiro and Nate Monaster; directed by Fielder Cook; starring Dean Martin, Stella Stevens, Eli Wallach, Anne Jackson WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT: Bachelor David (Martin) tries to save the marriage of his best friend Harry (Wallach) by seducing Harry’s mistress. David woos Harry’s sexy employee Carol (Stevens), not realizing that Harry’s mistress is actually Muriel (Jackson, Wallach’s real-life wife). When Carol and Muriel figure out what’s going on, they plot revenge. WHY IT’S FUN: In my house, New Year’s means another viewing of The Poseidon Adventure , which in turn reminds me of how delightful a screen presence Stella Stevens was in her heyday. One of her most charming screen performances comes in this fizzy farce, reteaming her with Martin, her co-star in the goofy spy flick The Silencers . This isn’t great cinema, by any means — and 1968 was a little late in the game for this kind of relatively innocent sexcapade — but it’s made by people well-versed in this sort of wacky farce: Shapiro won an Oscar for Pillow Talk ; he and Monaster crafted another classic Doris Day romp, That Touch of Mink ; and Cook’s other 1968 release was the slightly naughtier who’s-got-the-birth-control comedy Prudence and the Pill . WHY YOU SHOULD OWN IT: Even if you’re not as much of a sucker for this era of sex comedy as I am, the movie’s très groovy visual palette (to say nothing of Stevens in a series of slinky outfits) will make for great video wallpaper at your next party.

Wow, I cannot believe I am finally able to write one of these things. I used to be so envious of all the other girls who were able to write Bieber experiences. Now I am one of those beliebers. My Bieber fan journey started way back in October 2009. Justin meant the world to me and I spent the majority of my time watching his videos, looking at pictures, and talking to my Twitter friends. Without going into detail, I tried multiple times to see Justin live. I was never able to. Finally, when the Believe tour dates came out, my mom finally allowed me to get tickets. However, Ticketmaster failed me. I was used to the let down. I, yet again, wouldn’t be seeing Justin Bieber live in concert. As October came around, I realized there was a month until Justin’s concert in New Jersey. I had to get to that concert. I asked my mom numerous times and hinted to let me buy tickets off Stubhub (or wait outside the venue with the hopes of getting tickets from Alfredo, Allison, Scooter, etc.). The concert was on Friday, November 9. My mom finally agreed to buying tickets off Stubhub the Tuesday before the concert. On Wednesday, my dad said he’d bring my friend and I. I was so beyond happy. I was finally going to see Justin Bieber live. It was going to be from nosebleed seats, but with complete honesty I did not care one bit. All I had to do was buy the tickets Thursday night and I would be seeing my idol live, finally. On Thursday at 4:07 p.m., I tweeted “Absolutely nothing could ruin my mood. NOTHING.” Thursday at 4:30 was when everything changed. Thirty minutes before I was going to purchase tickets, a FedEx man arrived at my house with an envelope. It was addressed to me. I was clueless as to what it was, but I opened it. All there was inside was a yellow paper folded in thirds. I was so confused. Until I saw tickets sticking out of the paper. I pull the tickets out and all I see is ”JUSTIN BIEBER, IZOD CENTER” and I completely freaked out! I had no idea how or why or where I got these tickets from. It was a miracle, a gift from God. I looked at the yellow paper and it said “Ubisoft Just Dance to Justin Sweepstakes- CONGRATULATIONS!” I started pacing around the room saying oh my God a thousand times. My older sister was sitting there watching this whole thing unfold. She looked at the paper and said, “Mary, you didn’t read this whole thing.” I looked at the paper and saw ”Meet and Greet” and that is when I lost it. I was shaking and crying. I had no idea what to do. This was a miracle. I checked my email for a Congratulations email. And there was one I received 6 days beforehand saying that I had to respond by November 5 or I forfeit the prize. The reason I didn’t see the email is because I was out of power for 10 days (October 29 til November 7) from Hurricane Sandy. I emailed them that and they completely understood and said my prize was definitely still valid. Wow, this is really happening. A week before I was nervous as hell about asking my mom if I could get tickets. Two days before I didn’t even have tickets. But then out of no where, I was going to MEET Justin Bieber. I was going to meet my idol. We got to the venue around 3:20 and eventually got our wristbands to meet Justin. We “had” to be in a group of 6 so we asked these 4 other ladies to join us. It turned out they were apart of the marketing team for Justin’s perfume. They were so awesome and sent my friend and I both 6 bottles of perfume including Someday and Girlfriend! After waiting on line to meet Justin for a little while, it was our turn next. My friend and I were freaking out. I could not believe Justin Bieber was right behind that black curtain. Kenny was standing there and I managed to say ”Hi Kenny!” and Kenny said “Hey, how you doing?” As soon as Kenny pulled back that black curtain and I saw Justin for the first time ever, I couldn’t believe my eyes. I can’t even explain the thoughts running through my head. I know everyone says this, but he looked absolutely FLAWLESS. I could not fathom the fact that I was seeing in person the boy I’ve been a fan of for so long, the boy in the posters on my wall, and the boy I’ve watched thousands of videos of. Justin held out his arms for us to get next to him. I don’t even know how, but I said hi to Justin and then said- ”This is my first time seeing you in 3 years.” And he looked down at me and said “This is MY first time seeing you in 3 years.” Basically, my heart melted. We took the picture. And as the rest of my group was leaving I said, ”Can I have a hug?” and Justin said, “Yeah, here!” We hugged and then I walked out. It was the greatest experience of my life and I am truly, truly blessed that my dream came true. We eventually got to our seats and man, we were sooo close. I yet again could not believe I was finally seeing Justin Bieber in concert that closely. It was absolutely perfect. Saying Justin put on an amazing show is an understatement. He’s a fantastic performer and I cannot wait to see him live again. Honestly, to all Beliebers trying to meet Justin or get tickets, NEVER SAY NEVER! I don’t know a more true saying than that. You just have to wait for your time to come, and it will. I waited for 3 years! I cried so many times because I couldn’t see him. But finally, all my tears and dedication has paid off. I figured meeting him would never happen, at least not any time soon, so I settled for finally seeing him live. I never in a million years thought I would be able to say, ”I JUST MET JUSTIN BIEBER.” I lived my dream and it was the greatest, most magical experience ever. Trust me, your time will come. Always believe, always fight for what you want, and always never say never. And to Justin- Thank you for being you. Thank you for teaching me and all your fans to never say never and to believe in our dreams. Because of the incredible experience I had, I truly know what you mean by “never say never.” It still doesn’t feel real or like it happened. Thank you for being the biggest inspiration out there. You’re a fantastic role model, a great person, and super talented. Thank you for everything. Even for things I cannot explain. I love you so much. For Christmas my siblings got me tickets to see Justin again on July 31. I know it won’t compare to my experience in November, but I cannot wait. It’s going to be fantastic. -Mary (@xlovemaryjay) Here is the original post: Wow, I cannot believe I am finally able to write one of these…
