Hi, my name is Liezel and I live in Belgium. I had my first…

Hi, my name is Liezel and I live in Belgium . I had my first Bieber experience on March 30, 2011. Justin came to Belgium for the very first time. I didn’t get tickets because I had no idea, it was sold out in like 20 minutes. Eventually I won 2 tickets on a social network. I was so happy! I had happy tears seeing him on the concert and had a lot of fun even though my seats were far away from the stage. That concert made my life. But my life got even better. On November 3, 2011, I heard people talking about this contest of a magazine. The winner would go to London to see Justin perform in the Westfield Shopping Centre and would get the chance to meet him after the show. I was freaking out, because I really wanted to meet him. He’s such an inspiration to me. He has an amazing personality and he’s a great singer too. I just had to meet him. So I entered the contest. The next day I was like “What if I win? OMG. That would be crazy!” and I told my mom about it. I said “Omg, mom, I really want to win and meet him!”. She looked at me like she was saying, “Yeah right” and I was thinking “You never know…”. If I would win, they would call me, so I was checking my cellphone the whole time. Around 4 o’clock my mom got a call from this woman. I couldn’t understand what she was saying but it sounded like it was serious. I was freaking out already “Oh-my-god, are you serious? Did I win?!!”. My mom gave me her phone and the woman said “Hi, you entered a contest of Justin Bieber…”. I was like “Yeah, did I win?!!” “Yes!”. I screamed. OMG, I can’t describe the feeling I had. I was crying happy tears. I literally couldn’t speak. My mom was asking me a lot of questions. As hard as tried, I couldn’t answer. Almost everyday thinking about meeting Justin someday, now it was going to happen! My mom didn’t even believe the woman at first. ME? I won? Over all these other Belgian Beliebers? ME, meeting Justin on Monday?! I couldn’t get any happier. So Monday morning, 7th November, me and my grandma went to London by train with 4 other people who won. I have never been to London, so I loved to be there! After we got our golden wristbands, we went to Westield. We were there at 15:30 and the show began at 17:00. It was amazing to be there with all these other Beliebers screaming “JUSTIN JUSTIN JUSTIN!”. First I saw Scrappy 2 meters away from me. Then I saw Kenny and then DJ Tay James showed up. It was 17 o’clock. There was a guy on stage to announce Justin. OMB!! He was there on stage, singing so perfectly, looking so gorgeous.  He was wearing this hat that was going up and down while he was performing. I was so close to the stage and enjoying the show so much! After the show it was time to meet Justin. “No hugging, no kissing and no signatures” the security said. We had to go in groups of 5. The security nearly screamed at us we went through. Justin was standing right there, even closer than a half hour ago! I couldn’t belieb it. I was standing there, covering my open mouth. Alfredo was standing on my left side pointing his camera at us. I waved at him. We went to Justin. He said ‘Hi’ so friendly. We were going to take a picture (that’s me on the left side, next to me Meja, the other winner) and I felt his hand laying on my back. That was like a ‘2 sec moment’ but actually it felt like it was taking forever! The meet & greet was over. I was hopping through the mall. I was so happy! I finally met Justin. It was only for just 2 minutes, but it were the best minutes of my life! I wanted to scream it to everyone who passed me. LOL. Then we saw Justin’s dancers eating so we asked for a picture, even though I didn’t really like to bother them. They were so friendly and funny! Then we left the mall, the next day we left London, back to Belgium. I really hope to meet him again and actually say something to him. Anyway.. My dream became reality! I had hope to meet him someday. You might don’t believe in it, but just keep these 3 simple words in your mind: Never say never. It’s true. You got to believe and follow your dreams! The rest is here: Hi, my name is Liezel and I live in Belgium. I had my first…

Kanye West Is ‘A Good Friend,’ Theophilus London Says

Brooklyn MC hints at possible involvement in West’s G.O.O.D. Music compilation album. By Jocelyn Vena Theophilus London Photo: Getty Images Given their similar aesthetics and emotional rhymes, it’s no surprise that Theophilus London and Kanye West have plans to team up — on something. When MTV News caught up with London this week, he teased that he and Yeezy have some sort of collaboration on the horizon. “He’s working on his G.O.O.D. Music record soon,” London said, not mentioning whether he’s involved in that project. “I’m just happy to be affiliated with him. We email each other back and forth and tip each other off on different fashion things. He’s just a good friend. Right now, I can’t say anything else about that, but he’s just a good friend.” West announced last month that he was working on a G.O.O.D. compilation album , even citing a time frame for when he wanted to drop it. “Goodmusic. The album. Spring 2012,” he tweeted , providing just enough information to get fans excited for what’s to come. These days, Yeezy is on the road with longtime pal Jay-Z on the Watch the Throne Tour . London already caught the show and has only the kindest words to say about it. “I went to check out the Watch the Throne Tour; it’s amazing,” he said of one of two Madison Square Garden shows. “I recommend it.” While Kanye tours with Jay-Z and decides what his next move with London is, the Brooklyn MC is riding the wave of being included on the “Breaking Dawn- Part 1” soundtrack with his song “Neighbors.” “When they asked me do it, I was very privileged and pleased. I wanted to do a super emo song about neighbors and how neighbors are very important,” he said. “A lot of people are freaking out, but it’s a whole new fanbase for me. I’m just so stoked that all these cute girls that like vampires hear my song.” What kind of collabo do you want to see between ‘Ye and Theophilus? Share your ideas in the comments!

Robert Pattinson Was ‘Delusional’ Before ‘Twilight’

So where would he be without the franchise? ‘Probably dead,’ he jokes to MTV News. By Kevin P. Sullivan, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Robert Pattinson Photo: George Pimentel/ Getty Images Where would Robert Pattinson be without “Twilight” and the undead character that made him a household name? “Probably dead,” he laughed to MTV News. Pattinson sat down with Josh Horowitz to look back on what the series has been for him both as an actor and as a person, and he said that without the vampire series, he doesn’t know what would have happened to him. For a while, the London-born actor didn’t know whether acting was for him and struggled with the question of continuing to appear in front of the camera. “I think a lot of actors think about that all the time,” he said. Pattinson said it has to do with the constant focus on an actor’s insecurities that drive people like him to question the profession. “You have to confront your insecurities quite a lot, and I have plenty, plenty of insecurities,” he laughed. “Even more [now]. Before, you could kind of bullsh– yourself all the time.” For him, obscurity allows for a little less honesty when it comes to self-image. “If no one cares about you, you can be like, ‘I’m the greatest person in the whole world,’ ” he said. “You can be completely delusional.” At 25, Pattinson said there is not even a small sense of vanity anymore. He said he hadn’t patted himself on the back for his looks in a while and that it’s to the point where he is “almost sick at the sight of [himself]. I’m getting older as well. I’m almost 50.” “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1” hits theaters November 18.

Thandie Newton Lashes Out At Vogue For Lack Of Black Covers

Follow this link:

Actress Thandie Newton is calling out Vogue magazine on its lack of love for black women on their covers. While First Lady Michelle Obama , Beyonce and Jennifer Hudson have graced the cover of US Vogue, Newton still feels sisters are slighted–namely her. When I Studied Abroad: London In an interview with Pride magazine, Newton is very outspoken in her disappointment with the lack of diversity at Vogue and beyond. “Don’t get me started on black people being on the cover of big magazines. It’s so preposterous. I mean, I’ve been on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar four times; I’ve been on the cover of InStyle four times, but Vogue , not once.” Does she have a legitimate beef?

Hello everybody! My name is Anastasia, I’m 16 and I live…

Hello everybody! My name is Anastasia, I’m 16 and I live in Belarus. You probably don’t know about this country but the main thing is that Justin knows about it. So here is my experience. It was July 2011. I was spending my summer at home. I was reading experiences from this site, so I felt like why can’t I write my own experience? The thing is that I had nothing to write about. I decided to write a letter to Justin. Immediately I found an address and wrote a letter to him. I wrote about how much he inspired me , how much I wanted to get his book, so I flew to London from Belarus just to get it, how my dad bought me JustBeats for my improvement in Germany, how my nice friend from the USA sent me the  Someday  fragrance. I wrote so much, 2 pages of how thankful I am. I sent the letter and I forgot about it after a week. Of course, at first I was thinking and hoping to get an answer. But then I just forgot. I can’t say I gave up because I didn’t. I just realized how many Beliebers are writing to Justin and it is almost no chance that my letter would be read. Almost 4 months passed and yesterday, 28 October something happened. An hour before I was busy tweeting. My mom and brother came home and my little brother was like, “You got a letter from Atlanta!” I was like only Justin lives in Atlanta, I mean I sent a letter to him a while ago. In a second, I opened the envelope and that was the moment when I burst into tears. I saw a photo of Justin which I included in the envelope along with my letter to him. This photos was signed. Signed by Justin Drew Bieber. I cried so hard. I was crying for more than an hour. I called my classmate and she was like, “Why are you crying? I know you, you are a great fan, you definitely deserve what you got!” But I was like, “I can’t. I just can’t believe this is happening to me. I’m dreaming.” And I went on crying. Then I called my dad who is currently in Germany and he didn’t find words to say. He was speechless. So now I’m writing this experience, my first one. I’m so thankful to Justin, to his crew and more importantly to Def Jam group for giving my letter to Justin. It proves that they care about the fans and want to make them happy too, that they understand BELIEBERS. Also it was the best day of my life, I can’t be more happier. I’m feeling the luckiest. Still crying so hard and all I want you to know guys – never give up on your dreams! Never! Justin Bieber told us to and don’t you dare to stop believing in your biggest dream. Dream big and believe in it every single day. It will come true. I swear, it will. Just believe in it with all your heart and DO everything for it.   Special thanks to amazing Vanessa for posting my first experience! – Anastasia  @JDBinBelarus View post: Hello everybody! My name is Anastasia, I’m 16 and I live…

Ralph Fiennes Hates Twitter, Is Kinda Right

Ralph Fiennes, honored at the BFI London Film Festival awards for his directorial debut — the Shakespeare adaptation Coriolanus — does not think in sound bites of 140 words or less. ‘We’re in a world of truncated sentences, soundbites and Twitter… [Language] is being eroded — it’s changing. Our expressiveness and our ease with some words is being diluted so that the sentence with more than one clause is a problem for us, and the word of more than two syllables is a problem for us.” So hey, kids — go see Coriolanus next January and expand your (five syllables!) vo-ca-bu-la-ry!

We Need to Talk About Kevin Wins Big in London

Congrats to Lynne Ramsay, Tilda Swinton and the rest of Team We Need to Talk About Kevin , which knocked off the awards-y likes of The Descendants , The Artist and Shame to emerge as best in show at this year’s BFI London Film Festival. “We were struck by the sheer panache displayed by these great storytellers,” said jury chief John Madden. “In the end, we were simply bowled over by one film, a sublime, uncompromising tale of the torment that can stand in the place of love.” Yowza! Sounds like my Friday nights. Someone give me a trophy! [ THR ]
