My names is Rowan, I never thought I’d get to say this but this…

Posted on March 7, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

My names is Rowan, I never thought I’d get to say this but this is MBE. When I found out tickets for the Believe tour were coming out in July I begged my mum for a BieberFever membership. She finally gave in and let me sign up for one. I managed to get Block A seats for the Manchester show on the 21 st February 2013 with my sister. The same day, my friend that I met through being a belieber told me that she really wanted tickets but had no one to go with. I thought as I have some money left over from saving up I’d ask her if she wanted to go to the Liverpool concert. Obviously she said yes and I bought another set of tickets on Block 7 for Liverpool February 24. The time had come when it was only a couple day to go until the concert and I decided to go on to BieberFever to see what was going on. I saw that I missed the deadline for the competition for both dates and I was heartbroken. All I wanted was to meet Justin and I knew this was my only chance so I just entered for the Birmingham show on the 28th because it was my birthday. I didn’t bother buying tickets for the concert because I knew I wouldn’t win anyways. My two Believe tour shows past, which at this point were the best nights of my life. I couldn’t believe how amazing they were! It was about 9:30 p.m. on the 27 th Feb when I was in the car with my dad. I NEVER check my emails but for some reason I just decided too when i saw it. I started having a panic attack and I couldn’t tell my dad why. I got him so scared and he was driving all over the place trying to calm me down. Finally he stopped and I passed him my phone to read the email. He couldn’t believe it as much as me and was so happy for me! It was around 10:30 p.m. and my mum managed to book tickets for the concert for the next day. I was so incredibly excited at the fact I was going to be meeting Justin the next day. I was over the moon, and this was all happening ON MY 15TH BIRTHDAY! On 28th February at 12.00 p.m. we set off to Birmingham. I had bought Justin some birthday presents and a card with loads of Beliebers Twitter names in which I was planning on giving him. We got to Birmingham and I got into the queue with my sister at around 3 p.m. Finally Justin had arrived. I was moments away from meeting my idol and I felt so sick. Dan came out to speak to everyone as we were waiting and even though he was a bit in front of me, I was watching him with all the beliebers and he was just smiling and chatting with them. The queue was getting shorter as I approached the black curtain. Someone walked out and I saw a trouser leg. A purple, cheetah print trouser leg. That could only be one person, I thought to myself. I was getting so nervous and shaking so much as I got closer to the front. One of the security men told us that as Justin was late, we weren’t able to speak to him for a long time, we had to be really quick but I didn’t even mind. As long as I got to meet my idol, that’s all that mattered to me. I put my present for Justin down as it was finally my turn. I entered the curtain and saw him standing there posing for a picture with the girls in front of me. It was my turn, he turned and looked at me, staring as I walked over to him followed by my sister, and the two other girls in the picture. He had been looking at my badge and when I stood next to him he looked up and commented, “Aww, birthday girl!” I said yes to him and just kept telling him how much I love him. The picture was taken and then we had to leave. I quickly squeezed the side of him and went to walk away as I repeatedly told him how much I love him. Just before I left, I turned to him to say bye and he looked at me and told me, “Love you.” I walked out and burst into tears with my sister. We couldn’t believe what just happened to us. Justin Drew Bieber just spoke to me! We walked to our seats in the arena ready to enjoy the show, thinking about the fact that I just met the boy that means absolutely everything to me. I’m never ever going to forget this. It was not only the best day ever but also the best birthday I could have ever asked for. To every belieber out there that’s reading this, honestly never stop trying or believing because if my time came, I know yours will too. Never Say Never.  -@BieberSextin View original post here: My names is Rowan, I never thought I’d get to say this but this…

I was lucky enough to attend two Believe Tour concerts during…

Posted on March 7, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

I was lucky enough to attend two Believe Tour concerts during the UK part of Justin’s tour. The first show I went to was on the 22nd February in Manchester. We went inside the arena and got to our seats. I was sitting on the floor section and my seat was at the end of the row. Little did I know how amazing that seat was. I managed to see Cody’s videographer Flo, his manager Matt and then I saw his dad Brad. I talked to him for a little while and then we were saying how my sister was outside and a huge fan of Cody, so he gave us one of Cody’s guitar picks to give to her! The show started and it was INCREDIBLE. It was so worth the wait to see Justin perform on the Believe Tour. The whole vibe of the arena was just amazing. Also throughout the concert Allison, Mike and Nick kept walking past and also Kenny. I smiled at him and he smiled back. After the show was over I was on Twitter and I saw Vanessa (@belieberbabes) tweet asking how the second show in Manchester was. I replied to her tweet saying how amazing it was and it was worth the wait to see him. She then RT’d the tweet and 10 minutes later, Justin also RT’d the tweet! I want to say thank you to Vanessa, because if she wouldn’t of RT’d the tweet, Justin wouldn’t of seen it. Now to the next concert – I then went to the show on the 27th February in Birmingham and I was lucky enough to have meet and greets! I met up with @ukbieberlicious and we queued outside waiting to check in. Around 20 minutes later we hear screaming and I turn and see Kenny walking past! He then comes past again around 5 minutes later and was taking the Make-A-Wish children to meet Justin. Nick Demoura and Dan also came down the line and talked to everyone and took photos while we were waiting for Justin. We then got taken down the stairs and it finally hit me that I was going to meet Justin. Finally it was our turn. I walked inside, looked ahead and there he was. I just kind of looked in shock. We walked over to him and he said “Hi” so we said hi back. Then Mike counted down and took the photo. We were then getting pushed out by security but one of my goals was to get a hug from him. I quickly turned to him and asked, “Please can I have a hug?” By now security were literally forcing us out so he couldn’t give me a full hug but he quickly pulled me in a gave me a little side hug and rubbed my back! We then walked outside and we had our wristbands cut off straight away. I just saw a load of people crying and people with smiles on their faces because they just met Justin as well, it was so cute! It’s amazing how he can make people smile. Doors opened and we finally got to our seats. A woman came around and starting giving wristbands to people on the first 2 rows so you could stand by the catwalk. I was a little gutted because I was 8th row so I wouldn’t get a wristband but I was so grateful at how amazing my seats were. A couple minutes later, @ukbieberlicious calls me over (she was on second row) and her sister said that she doesn’t really want to stand by the catwalk, so she gave me her wristband! I was so grateful at the fact that happened, I can’t thank her and her sister enough. The concert was brilliant, we managed to get right by the barrier and we were literally a metre away from the stage. I had the most amazing night and then when Justin was singing ‘Out of Town Girl’ he had the camera and filmed the fans by the catwalk and he came over and filmed us. I’ve got so many amazing memories from both nights which will stick with me forever. If you haven’t experienced the Believe Tour yet you’re going to be blown away, it’s the most amazing show and you’ll have the time of your life!  -Pippa (@UKBieberDay) Read the original post: I was lucky enough to attend two Believe Tour concerts during…

Applebee’s Waitress: FIRED For Posting Pastor’s Receipt on Reddit!

Posted on February 1, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

An Applebee’s waitress who posted a receipt on Reddit showing a note from a pastor complaining about the automatic suggested gratuity has reportedly been fired. After the pastor complained to her manager, no less. Chelsea Welch, the waitress, tells Yahoo News that the pastor (since identified as Alois Bell) told Welch’s manager that the ensuing firestorm “ruined” her reputation. “I give God 10%,” the pastor wrote on the receipt , scratching out the automatic tip and scribbling in an emphatic “0” where the additional tip would be. “Why do you get 18?” There were more than eight people in Bell’s party, triggering the auto-tip … on a bill not even totaling $35. Still, the pastor was apparently not a fan. Welch, who snapped a photo of the bill and uploaded to Reddit, defended her right to post the receipt online, along with how insulted she felt by it. “I thought the note was insulting, but also comical,” she told the Consumerist about her decision. “And I thought other users would find it entertaining.” Bell, a pastor at Truth in the World Deliverance Ministries Church, was not amused when word got around, and called Welch’s manager to complain. “[It was] a lapse in my character and judgment,” Bell said, noting that her signature ID’d her to a friend in St. Louis, who said, “it’s all over Yahoo. You went viral!” “My heart is really broken. I’ve brought embarrassment to my church and ministry.” Didn’t stop her from bringing up the issue to her server’s employer, of course. A spokesman for Applebee’s said it apologized for violating Bell’s “right to privacy” and confirmed that Welch “is no longer employed by the franchise.” Welch was surprised that Applebee’s fired her, “especially because there was nothing specific in the employee handbook admonishing this behavior.” “I had no intention of starting a witch hunt or hurting anyone. I just wanted to share a picture I found interesting,” she said, still in shock from her dismissal. Welch also isn’t buying Bell’s “embarrassment” over the note she wrote. “If a person wrote this, obviously they wanted it seen ,” she said. “I’ve been stiffed on tips before, but this is the first time I’ve seen the Big Man used as reasoning.” What do you think? Is Bell being sincere? And should Welch have been fired?

Tiger Woods and Lindsey Vonn: Dating?!

Posted on January 24, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Is Tiger Woods back in the dating game? He is, and the woman he’s dating is reportedly Olympic skiing champion Lindsey Vonn … according to the new issue of celebrity news magazine Star . So basically, who the heck knows. “He wants to marry again,” an insider says, doing that they began dating each other last November, “and he thinks Lindsey could be the woman.” Woods, 37, and Vonn, 28, are already serious, supposedly. He’s been “hot on her trail” as of late, watching her ski in the World Cup in Austria, then taking her on an Antiguan vacation, according to the magazine. Lindsey finalized her divorce with fellow skier Thomas Vonn, who was also serving as her manager, earlier this month after splitting in late 2011. She’s been in Sports Illustrated … and not just because she can ski. Whether he’s dating Lindsey Vonn or not, Tiger Woods has not had any notable romantic relationships since his 2010 divorce from Elin Nordegren . After his serial cheating ways were exposed in the aftermath of his now-infamous Thanksgiving 2009 car crash, maybe a little time off was a good thing. For all we know, Rachel Uchitel may be the last girl to hit that. Elin has since been romantically linked to moneyman Jamie Dingman and hockey hunk Douglas Murray, but neither of those relationships went anywhere. Do you think Tiger and Lindsey make a good couple?

Britney Spears Confirms X Factor Exit

Posted on January 11, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

After weeks of speculation, Britney Spears has confirmed what we already knew – that she’s quitting The X Factor after her first and only season last fall. “I’ve made the very difficult decision not to return for another season,” Brit tells ET Online in a statement, adding that Fox was informed of her decision. “I had such an incredible time doing the show and I love the other judges and I am so proud of my teens but it’s time for me to get back in the studio.” “Watching them all do their thing up on that stage every week made me miss performing so much! I can’t wait to get back out there and do what I love most.” Spears is reportedly hard at work on her eighth studio album, with her manager, Adam Leber, Tweeting, “It’s a little premature to give details on album 8.” “I know a lot of you are rabid for info but @britneyspears has only had a few sessions … I will say we had an incredible session with @EsterDean and @Hit_Boy. Great start.” Can’t wait. Or blame her from bailing on that sinking ship. As for whether Spears is also going to quit Jason Trawick in 2013, it looks like she’s on the verge of dumping him as conservator if nothing else.

Lawsuits: Designer Tory Burch’s Company Is Being Sued By Black, Bi-Sexual Ex-Employee For Racial And Sexual Discrimination!

Posted on January 4, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Guess we won’t be seeing some of you ladies in those little flats anymore huh? Designer Tory Burch Sued For Racial And Sexual Discrimination According to TMZ reports : A black, bisexual woman has sued her former employer — the company run by high-end fashion designer Tory Burch — claiming her manager and co-workers put a big fat target on her head because of her race and bisexuality. Jessica Jones filed the lawsuit, claiming she worked at the billionaire designer’s flagship store in Bev Hills from July 2011 to July 2012 — and during that time, Jones claims she was called everything from a “disgusting” homosexual to a “n***er.” In the docs, Jones says her manager and co-workers treated her like dirt, telling customers and clients not to work with Jones because she was gay. Jones says her manager referred to Jones’ girlfriend as “that thing that comes to visit her at work.” On her lunch breaks, Jones says her manager would regularly ask if Jones was getting fried chicken. Jones claims she was eventually forced to resign because of the treatment she received. Jones is suing Burch’s company — as well as her manager and others — for unspecified damages. Burch was not accused of wrongdoing herself in the the lawsuit and she is not named as a defendant. This isn’t a good look Tory, you need to do a better job screening some of these folks that you hire to represent your brand. Image via PurseBlog

Shots Fired: Vanessa Bryant Addresses Drizzy About Not Shootin’ In The Gym “I’m Raising Our Daughters, Signing Checks And Taking Care Of Our Home Life”

Posted on January 2, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Scheme on that Drizzy! Well Kobe may have laughed it off when fans were chanting Drake’s “She wasn’t wit me shootin’ in the gym” off his “Stay Schemin’” verse but apparently Vanessa doesn’t find it very funny. The real actual basketball wife finally addressed the lyrics nearly a year after they dropped in a lil rant in her Instagram comments. Here’s what she had to say: I love when immature kids quote a rapper that has never been friends with Kobe and knows nothing about our relationship. Just shows how gullible they are. I don’t need to be in the gym. I’m raising our daughters, signing checks and taking care of everything else that pertains to our home life. I really wish people would stop THINK and then realize that they are being sucked into someone’s clear intention to monetize and gain attention off of our family’s heartache. This is real life. I hold down our home life so my husband can focus on his career. It’s a partnership. Since my husband is isn’t friends with Drake, we received a text of an apology forwarded from his manager. It’s done and over with and it’s now time for people to THINK before speaking. There ya go Drizzy, don’t worry if she shoots hoops, she writes checks! But on the real, did she take it too far with the signing checks line bit? In case you haven’t been following her on IG (she just joined this November) we compiled a few of our favorite posts she’s done in the last couple months. Hit the flip to see ‘em.
