Gawker Media has issued a response to Hulk Hogan’s $100 million lawsuit . The company – which released a one minute and 41-second clip of Hogan pounding Heather Clem on its website – has asked the judge to throw out the wrestler’s suit because Hogan already admitted in a 2009 book that he had cheated on wife Linda. Therefore, the video could not have soiled his reputation, as Hulk alleges. Moreover, Gawker takes the side that it didn’t record the video; it merely alerted the public to snippets from it. Isn’t that the job of any news source? Both sides are now awaiting the ruling from a judge.
About a month ago, Lady Gaga admitted: she’s gained a little weight. It’s an issue that has tormented the singer for her entire life. In response, Gaga has started a “Body Revolution” on her Little Monsters website, asking fans to embrace their curves and inner beauty. Speaking to Stylist UK about the movement, she referenced another artist and compared the reception Adele has received versus the one that’s recently plagued Gaga. “Adele is bigger than me,” Gaga said . “How come nobody says anything about it? She’s so wonderful and I think her confidence is something I have to match. She has set the bar very high for a lot of woman. I need to be a confident woman and just say politically active things when I can that are helpful to young people.” And while it might help to shelve those lasagna recipes , Gaga says the true key to self-confidence comes from within – and without. “We should all make an effort to be nice to one another all the time,” Gaga says of women around the world.
I am very proud and happy to say that this is my 2nd Bieber experience. The beginning might seem boring but it’s worth it, I promise. I talk about meeting Scooter, Scrappy, his dancers, & getting a wave from Justin . To this day I still can’t believe that I went to a show on the Believe tour. It is AMAZING. No one was exaggerating when they were saying how amazing it was going to be. I will never forget a single moment; from the time I got off the plane, walking to the arena to see the show, to the moment I left. I attended the show on October 5th, 2012 in Fresno, California. It was on a Friday and I live in Las Vegas. I missed school on Thursday and Friday to attend this concert, and it was well worth it. I got there on Thursday afternoon, already wishing it was Friday. The entire rest of that day was spent shopping for things to add to my outfit. Finally the day of the concert I woke up at 9 a.m, way too excited. Time seemed to go by slowly as I waited until it was time to get ready. After eating breakfast and wondering around Fresno for a little bit, it was finally 12. At the last minute I wanted something to add to my outfit so I went to Walmart. I bought tinsel-like cloth & ribbon to make a tutu. Got back to the house around 12:45, it took me about an hour and a half to make it. I curled my hair, did my makeup and put my outfit on. I was ready at 3, we left to go at 3:30. We arrived at the arena around 4 p.m. and the line was surprisingly not that long. I walked around a little bit while my mom waited in line. I was recognized from tumblr which made me feel like a celebrity. After what seemed like forever, it was finally time to let people into the arena. I was seated around 6:20, 40 minutes before concert time. My mom went to go get food, the line was long so she was gone like 15 minutes. I was standing like 5 feet away from the stage, standing looking around, trying to see who I could recognize. I saw his dancers, Scrappy, Kenny, & Tay James. Finally my mom comes back and stands by me. I’m completely zoned out thinking how it’s less than 30 minutes until concert time. I hear her say “Scooter!” so I look up and he’s right in front of me. I stand there in shock and he laughs/smiles. I get a hug and then I ask for a picture with him. Surprisingly he stayed there and talked to me. Not that I thought he wouldn’t but with the show starting so soon I thought he’d be in a rush. I told him I’ve been a Belieber since his YouTube days, he said thanks for supporting Justin. I asked if Justin was okay from his ‘incident’ on stage and he said he was. I said, “I hope he’s not overworking himself, tell him I hope he’s okay and his Beliebers are worried about him.” He smiled and said, “Thanks Belieber, I’ll tell him. He is okay now, pumped up for tonight.” I then showed him the little notebook I had. It was decorated with those shiny markers, with things written inside. One long letter to Justin saying some personal stuff and how he helped me through it, I was grateful for him and his music. I also included my phone number and wrote “Call me maybe” I handed it to Scooter, he looked at it and smiled. I was like “Can you please give this to Justin, I worked hard on it.” He was like “Sure thing. I’ll make sure he gets it as soon as possible!” Then I got another hug and he had to go, Scrappy had called him over. The arena was getting more full, but hardly anyone in my section was there yet. Finally I went to my seat and about 10 minutes later the concert started. Cody Simpson and Carly Rae Jepsen were P-E-R-F-E-C-T-I-O-N. I’ve always been an Angel, I bought Paradise the second it came out. I wasn’t really a big Carly Rae fan before, but after the concert I bought her album on iTunes and now some of her songs are stuck in my head. Cody kept coming to my side of the stage, more than he did the other, had us jumping up and down, waving our arms side to side, singing loud and having so much fun. Carly Rae mainly stuck to the middle of the stage so I didn’t really see her as much [closer] as I did Cody. After they were finished, fans did NOT quiet down 1 bit as we waited for Justin. What seemed like ages ticked by and finally the countdown appeared on the big screen. 10 minutes. Then 9. Then 8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1 MINUTE left until JUSTIN BIEBER came on stage. We all started freaking out and counted down from 60 seconds. When it reached ‘1’ the noise got even louder. EVERYONE: fans, parents, were out of their seats, screaming at the top of their lungs. Justin “flew” down to the stage from the top with his angel wings. It was the best entrance ever. I sang along to every song. Before he sang “Believe,” he was talking about how much his Beliebers mean to him and how he’d never be where he was today without us. He teared up while singing the song. It was really sweet, he sat in front of a piano and it was so personal/heartfelt. Despite my love for “Beauty and a Beat,” that was my favorite song of the night. When he sang songs from My World & My World 2.0 I went INSANE. The lasers, fire, fireworks, confetti, all the effects were phenomenal. It almost didn’t seem real that after years and YEARS of waiting, I’d finally seen Justin Bieber perform in person. He means a lot to me. Without him and his music, I don’t know where I’d be. Justin, I don’t know if you’ll ever read this, I know you keep tabs on mybieberexperience but I don’t know how often, but on the off chance you are reading this, thank you. I hope Scooter gave you my book, sorry it didn’t have much in it, but I’m working on something better, just have to find a way to get it to you. -Bree @osnapitzbrree See the article here: I am very proud and happy to say that this is my 2nd Bieber…

Give Miley Cyrus credit for keeping things fresh on Twitter this week. The 19-year old sent out a photo of herself in a see-through dress Monday, giving followers a rather clear look at her underwear . Prior to that, though, Miley was in anything but a sexy mood, also self-publishing a shot of herself and her dog Ziggy first thing in the morning: “Ok don’t judge my hair I just woke up,” she Tweeted. “But look at Zigz face. She looks like she guarding purgatory. So wise.” Cyrus, of course, has been in the news lately for reasons beyond Twit pics. Sources say she and Liam Hemsworth want to have a baby in the near future. Think it’s too soon for this very young couple?
