During 2011, I had a lot of different problems, medical ones. I…

During 2011, I had a lot of different problems, medical ones. I don’t want to talk too much about them though. I just want to say that Justin helped me get through it . I couldn’t have gotten through them if I didn’t have Justin in my life. Last year I developed an eating disorder, I lost like 50 lbs. in a short amount of time. It made my life so hard and stressful, but I did get through it. I didn’t ever think eating disorders were that serious, but when I had it, oh my goodness, let me just say it was a tough time. In the beginning of June 2011, I read Justin would be in NYC on June 23rd (I live in Syracuse, NY) for the launch of his perfume Someday. When I read that, I knew I wouldn’t be able to go because it was too far and I didn’t ever think my parents would agree to take me. I even wrote my parents a 10 page letter about why we should go and how much it would mean to me if I could see Justin. Now it was later in the month of June. Yes I still had the medical problem. My parents were also stressed out at this time because of it, they were sad seeing me always upset. Some of you might think it was simple enough for me to just over come this dumb eating problem, but it wasn’t that simple. My parents would do absolutely anything to help me because they didn’t want to see me ever get hurt or end up in one of those eating disorder homes. My dad told me that the next time Justin comes to NY or somewhere on the east coast, he would take me to see Justin… ONLY IF I HELPED MYSELF! My dad thought that if he took me, maybe I could help myself overcome this problem I had. And it did. On June 21st I told my dad that Justin was coming to NYC on June 23rd. My dad called me out from work, and told me we were leaving tonight to go to NYC. I couldn’t believe it! Justin tweeted a picture of fans already lined up outside of Macy’s. We got in NYC at 3:30 AM Wednesday. We got in line and the Macy’s worker said we were #178 and #179 out of 325 people. I was so shocked and relieved. Dreams really can come true. Then finally on June 23rd, 2011. We were in line and then I remember seeing some people in Justin’s team. The whole time we were in line, Justin’s songs were playing! It was time people started getting pictures taken. I remember when I saw him. I couldn’t believe it, again, he didn’t look real. I couldn’t believe that this kind of stuff actually happened in life. I remember right before I saw him, Ne-Yo’s song “Give Me Everything” was playing now every time I hear it I cry, tears of joy. Then it was my turn. I was crying so hard, I was so embarrassed, then I got up there. Justin said to me, “Don’t cry,” so nicely and I tried to say, “Okay” but I don’t really even know what came out of my mouth. I was crying too much. He held my wrist as I walked off the stage. I couldn’t believe it! It was only a few seconds I was there with him but it was the best. The security people were really caring and nice towards me because I was crying so hard. But I was so happy because this was the best day of my life. I miss NYC too because it was the best experience. I really feel like I know Justin, like as a person and how he thinks, acts and feels in life. People might think this is corny but he truly is like my best friend. I don’t go to regular school now, so I don’t talk to other people nor have any friends, other than my mom. I don’t care because when I feel sad or something, I walk into my room with all my JB posters or listen to his music and I feel all better. Justin makes me realize what’s really important in life, and just seeing him in person changed my whole outlook on life. Everything just worked out PERFECT for me at that time in my life. It happened for a reason. I just needed a break and God gave me one . I know if Justin knew me at the time, he would NOT want me to have that problem, and whenever I face a situation, I think what would Justin do or want me to do? Life is way too short, so people should just have fun and live their dreams. Thank you Justin for everything you do for everyone. You have helped me with so many rough times  in life. If any of you ever think about giving up in life, don’t do it. There was a point where I wanted to give up on everything but I didn’t because of Justin Bieber.  -Suzanne (@jbieberkon) Original post: During 2011, I had a lot of different problems, medical ones. I…

Dennis Quaid, Kimberly Buffington to Divorce

Dennis Quaid and wife Kimberly Buffington-Quaid are divorcing. According to documents filed by Kimberly , “The marriage became insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities … that destroys the legitimate ends of the marriage relationship and prevents any reasonable expectation of reconciliation.” Kimberly is asking for spousal support and attorney’s fees. There is a temporary custody order in place, assuring that both Dennis and Kimberly each get time with their kids, and divides use of their residences. Kimberly is asking that all of their community assets be fairly divided. In Dennis’ answer to Kimberly’s petition, he says he wants her to get nothing. Both Dennis and Kimberly Buffington-Quaid, who married in 2004, are ordered not to say anything “vulgar, profane, obscene or indecent” to each other. In 2007, they welcomed twins, who nearly died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in L.A. after they were given a massive overdose of the drug Heparin. Dennis Quaid was previously married to Meg Ryan and P.J. Soles. [Photo: WENN.com]

Teen Mom 2 Reunion Recap: Leah Messer and Chelsea Houska Get Grilled

Jenelle Evans, Leah Messer, Kailyn Lowry and Chelsea Houska reunited last night in part two of the MTV reality show’s time-honored “checkup” with Dr. Drew Pinsky. Last week, in part one of the reunion , Kailyn and Jenelle were in the hot seat. This time it was Leah and Chelsea on the receiving end of Dr. D’s burning questions. What did we find out? Not a lot, but here’s our recap! Minus 20 right off the bat because so much has changed in the girls’ lives since this show was taped last summer that this feels like watching some other season. The real reasons for the end of Leah and Corey’s marriage: Lack of intimacy. Infidelity. The constant battle with their girls’ health problems. Beef hot dogs. Plus 30 . Seriously. This came up. You knew Corey had checked out of the marriage when he came home with beef hot dogs, not “pork and chicken.” The horror. Minus 5 . Speaking of pork(ing), Leah cheated with her ex-boyfriend a week before her wedding to Corey, AND at her Bachelorette party with the same dude! Minus 40 . Drew finally persuaded Corey to go to therapy with Leah, and they made such AMAZING progress … not! She’s engaged to some other guy! Timing fail. Minus 10 . Speaking of which, be advised, Jeremy Calvert. Just be advised. Minus 5 . Dr. Drew is crushing hardcore on Adam Lind for some reason. Plus 15 . “He’s actually changed,” Pinsky said of the abusive a-hole texter who once referred to Aubree as a “mistake.” Really? Have you watched Season 2? Minus 20 . Drew encourages them to profess their love on TV. Uhhh, Minus 5 . This is even more pointless because Chelsea is now reportedly involved in a made for MTV romance with a Caged MMA fighter, but Plus 25 since he’s not Adam. Did Chelsea get her GED? Will she and Adam continue this unhealthy pattern and end up in bed again? Who knows! Bring on Teen Mom 2 Season 3! Plus 5 . EPISODE TOTAL: -25! SEASON TOTAL: +33!

Jeremy Rosado on American Idol: Big Heart, Small Voice

Jeremy Rosado is a really nice guy. That’s what the American Idol judges were telling us over and over last night, with Randy Jackson pointing to the way Rosado comforted many hopefuls during opening auditions. That’s great and all – but it’s never a good sign, show wise, when the panel is talking more about your heart than your voice. Indeed, Jeremy didn’t really impress with his vocals on a cover of “Gravity.” It’s certainly hard to see him advancing over such solid performers as Phillip Phillips and even the theatrical Colton Dixon . But at least Rosado can return to his medical supply job in Florida with his head held high. Jeremy Rosado – “Gravity”

Ohio School Shooting Leaves Two Dead, Three Wounded; T.J. Lane in Custody

In a tragic and shocking turn of events, a school shooting in Chardon, Ohio, has left two people dead, the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s office said. Student Daniel Parmertor died on Monday. Russell King Jr., 17, was declared brain dead early Tuesday, according to the medical examiner’s office today. He was shot at Chardon High School on Monday. Three other students were wounded in the shooting, conducted by a teenager who has been arrested. Authorities have yet to release the alleged shooter’s name, but it has been widely reported and circulated in the aftermath of the double homicide. Ohio School Shooting Many students, some of whom said they were steps away from the suspect when the bullets flew, described the shooter as a withdrawn boy named T.J. Lane. The suspect was scheduled to make an initial court appearance at 3:30 p.m. Authorities have not released the charges he may face in the Ohio shooting. It was also unclear if the public or media would be allowed in the courtroom at all. Many juvenile hearings are closed, and Lane, if he is the suspect, is a minor. Lawyer Bob Farinacci, speaking for Lane’s family, said late Monday night that the boy, a 17-year-old high school sophomore, was “extremely remorseful.” “Very, very scared and extremely remorseful,” he told CNN affiliate WKYC. “He is a very confused young man right now,” Farinacci added. “He’s very confused. He is very upset. He’s very distraught. This is a very scary circumstance.” “I don’t think he could’ve possibly foreseen himself in the middle of [this].” Thousands of people posted on Facebook and other sotes pledging to wear red – Chardon’s school color – on Tuesday in support of the victims and survivors. “RIP Danny. Such a beautiful life cut way too short. You will never be forgotten,” one poster to Parmentor’s memorial page. “My heart aches for your family.” The victims were students who attended Lake Academy Alternative School, a nearby vocational school, and were waiting for a bus to take them there. Lane himself is a student at the school for at-risk children.

Nicole Alvarez: Free Conrad Murray!

Dr. Conrad Murray’s girlfriend, Nicole Alvarez, is begging the court to let him out of jail pending his appeal, claiming he’s a “good father” to their toddler. Somehow we don’t see it happening. Nicole Alvarez , who testified during Murray’s involuntary manslaughter trial last fall, filed a declaration of support for Murray Thursday, in which she says if Murray is released, he will live with her and their two-year-old son in Santa Monica, Calif. It’s not the most powerful or emotional letter. Alvarez says, “Dr. Murray is the father of my child,” adding, he “has been our primary source of support.” Moving stuff right there. It’s unclear how much support Murray can provide now, considering his medical license has been revoked and he’s likely spent a fortune on legal fees. Murray’s hearing for bail pending appeal of his conviction is scheduled for Friday in L.A. The D.A. opposes bail, saying Murray is a danger to society . Should be open and shut: No bail.

Gary Busey: Nearly Broke, Filing For Bankruptcy

Occasionally troubled actor Gary Busey has less than $50,000 to his name and more than $500,000 in various debts, according to his recent bankruptcy filing. Despite starring in more than 70 movies and a bunch of TV shows in his career, the 67-year-old Busey filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in California yesterday. On the paperwork, Gary checked the box showing he has less than $50,000 in assets and is somewhere between $500,000 and $1,000,000 in the fiscal hole. Busey indicates he may owe money to the IRS, various lawyers, UCLA Medical Center, Wells Fargo, L.A. County Waterworks Districts and a storage company. He also notes that he might owe money to a woman named Carla Loeffler, who sued Busey for allegedly trampling her en route to an airport gate in Tulsa. No word on how Gary has so little money to his name after decades as a working actor, but cocaine futures have really skyrocketed of late, so that can’t help. [Photo: WENN.com]

Demi Moore ‘Breakdown Isn’t Surprising,’ Expert Says

One celebrity watcher weighs in on the actress’ latest personal woes. By Jocelyn Vena Demi Moore in September Photo: Jason Kempin/Getty Images As more details about Demi Moore’s recent hospitalization emerge, celebrity watchers are getting an inside look at the actress’ personal life since her split with Ashton Kutcher in November. While some revelations may seem too personal, one expert told MTV News this sort of nothing’s-off-limits coverage comes with the territory. “When you’re a celebrity, it’s open season for the press to scrutinize every aspect of your life, specifically your personal life. Most celebrities are used to being under the microscope like this, but when the scrutiny involves their personal relationships, especially a split, everything is magnified,” celebrity magazine editor David Caplan told MTV News on Friday, just as the 911 call from the night of her health scare hit the Web. “The scrutiny, the press coverage … can be very stressful for a celebrity, because the majority of the information being disseminated about the relationship and the split in the press is often highly critical of the celebrity,” he added. Photos: Demi Moore’s career evolution. When one bit of bad news — like a divorce or substance abuse — comes to light, the media has a field day trying to uncover even more dirt. “As the press seeks to explain why the split occurred, skeletons in a stars’ closet are revealed, and demons are revealed. In the case of Demi and Ashton , she was basically humiliated since it came to light that Ashton was blatantly cheating on Demi, with younger women, making Demi look like she was manipulated in the relationship — let alone reports claiming they had an open marriage,” Caplan said. “Once this was revealed, the floodgates were open and stories emerged of Demi’s alleged low self-esteem, how her partying put strain on the marriage and other aspects about her life. For someone who already seems to be on an emotional roller coaster, this doesn’t bode well for Demi’s mental health and well-being.” As the Demi story continues to hold the public’s interest, expect the focus to also fall on her famous ex. “It’s also exacerbated by the fact that Ashton seems to be going on with his life and enjoying himself,” Caplan noted. “Combining all this together takes such a mental toll, a breakdown isn’t surprising.” Related Photos Demi Moore Through The Years
