We went to the airport of Monterrey, Mexico at 5:50am on Saturday October 1st. We didn’t get tickets in Monterrey, so we had to go to Mexico City. We went to check in our tickets and when we saw the line, we realized some American people. By then, we realized that the Bieber crew was there! Justin’s dancers were lined up to document bags, then we get to take pictures. Of course I was shaking of emotion, as I took a blurry p icture of my friend Itzel. After we got our tickets, we go to the pass rooms and saw them again and two of them were asking for some eggs for breakfast. We thanked them and walked to our room, almost crying of the emotion. We were so happy that started singing Never Say Never and they turned to see us and started to laugh. We don’t meet Justin but we got to see him at the concert, and got all the memories of that trip with my best friends. – @ItzelGss @nannyancira97 @natalie__143 Visit link: We went to the airport of Monterrey, Mexico at 5:50am on…
Camille Grammer has moved on from her ex-husband with a new man . And now she’s also preparing to do so with new digs. The incredibly annoying Real Housewife of Beverly Hills has placed her mansion in Beaver Creek, Colorado on the market. It can be yours for $7.9 million. Replete with a wine cellar, nanny quarters, two master suites and pine floors reclaimed from the Sears Tower in Chicago, Camille blogged this month that “this home was a place for family fun and togetherness. I will always treasure the memories of these family outings.” [Photo: WENN.com]
A video I made for Justin Bieber using the song “When the Last Teardrop Falls” by Blaque. Lyrics: It’s so hard to lose the one you love To finally have to say goodbye You try to be strong but the pain keeps holdin’ on And all that you can do is cry Deep within your heart you know it’s time to move on When the fairy tale that you once knew is gone [Chorus:] When the last tear drop falls I’ll still be holdin’ on to all of our memories And all of what used to be When the last tear drop falls I will stand tall And know that you’re here with me in my heart When the last tear drop falls So now I’m alone and life keeps movin’ on But my destination still unknown, oh yeah Will there be a time when I’ll fall in love again? When I was meant to walk these streets alone If there was just one wish I could be granted here tonight It would be to have you right back by my side [Chorus] Now it’s time for me to find my happiness again And the emptiness from missin’ you Will never ever end, baby [Chorus] http://www.youtube.com/v/YH4Z-d4UNTc?f=videos&app=youtube_gdata Here is the original post: When the Last Teardrop Falls (Justin Bieber Video) with lyrics
Apple released a new iPad television advertisement tonight called “We’ll Always” which shows off the iPad in many different uses. We’ll never stop sharing our memories. Or getting lost in a good book. We’ll always cook dinner and cheer for our favorite team. We’ll still go to meetings, make home movies, and learn new things. But how we do all this will never be the same. As with previous iPad ads,… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : Mac Rumors Discovery Date : 25/07/2011 01:36 Number of articles : 2
The night of July 4th, 2010 I didn’t sleep at all. I had entered a contest on bieberfever.com to meet Justin & for the contest you had to promote bieberfever.com on Facebook and Twitter, at the time. I didn’t have either one, but I still tried my best. I stayed awake all night just to see if I was lucky enough to meet Justin. It was already the morning of July 5th, and I was starting to loose hope; but around 9am I finally got an email, it was titled “Congratulations Bieber Fan”. I started crying right away, it didn’t feel like real life. (Fast forward to getting there) I was waiting outside in a line, and it being a hot summer day wasn’t going so well for me. I was already nervous and the heat made me wanna pass out. Before we entered the room, the security guard said we couldn’t take our own pics or ask for an autograph, it was a bummer, but nothing could bring me down that day. By the time I was in the same room as Justin, I lost all thought and the ability to speak. I wasn’t sure where to stand, there were two girls on one side of him, and after standing there for what seemed like forever, he opened his second arm out to me, he put his arm around me, it was surreal. After the picture was taken, we had to leave the room, and let the others in, I stood in front of him, wanting to ask for a hug, but i couldn’t manage to get the words out, I just stared, and it seemed like he was staring back, it may sound crazy, but he was looking at me… but no words. When we left the room, we waited around for the concert to start. The concert was amazing, all the energy in the room, it was like nothing else. I could barely hear, or talk after the concert, but it was all worth it. I didn’t sleep that night either. I was high up on all the energy. I can’t believe its been almost a year. Whenever I show someone the picture, they sometimes think its fake, because at the meet & greet there were two cameras, one turned out blurry, the other perfect, except Justin was looking in a different direction. I wish he wasn’t, but I don’t mind. It’s the memories that will last forever. -@itsthesamantha Original post: The night of July 4th, 2010 I didn’t sleep at all. I had…
‘Jackass’ star killed in car crash stayed ‘real,’ say patrons of the Pennsylvania bar where he was last seen. By Mary J. DiMeglio Ryan Dunn Photo: Getty Images WEST CHESTER, Pennsylvania — In Ryan Dunn’s adopted hometown, the “Jackass” star is remembered, not for his celebrity status, but rather for his ability to remain modest despite living in the limelight. When MTV News visited Barnaby’s of America in West Chester’s quaint downtown business district — the last place Dunn was seen before his fatal car crash early Monday morning — the bar’s patrons praised the fallen daredevil for never letting fame go to his head. As TVs showed a Phillies game and a guitarist strummed acoustic renditions of tunes ranging from Arcade Fire to Britney Spears, customers shared their memories of a neighbor who seemingly everyone in town had the chance to meet. “He was real,” said Sam Ford, who was celebrating her 25th birthday at Barnaby’s. With Dunn’s accident in mind, Ford said she and her boyfriend, Brock Jackson, would be taking a cab home that night. (Police have yet to determine whether alcohol played a role in Dunn’s death.) Jackson, 31, said he grew up playing Little League with Bam Margera and that Christopher Raab, (a.k.a. “Raab Himself”) an original member of Bam’s CKY stunt crew and the “Jackass” cast, was his best friend growing up. “I can’t even tell you how crushed he is,” Jackson said of Raab. Jackson said Dunn, who was 34, had “truly kind eyes” and “a heart and a half.” He was especially impressed by the well-known resident’s memory, saying, “He remembered every time he met somebody.” Around 2:30 a.m. on Monday, Dunn’s 2007 Porsche 911 GT3 flew through 40 yards of trees before hitting one and bursting into flames. West Goshen Police Chief Michael Carroll told Radar Online the Porsche was traveling at about 130 mph in a 55 mph zone when it collided with a guardrail. Jon Gurten, who grew up watching the “Jackass” crew’s antics, drove about 35 miles from Philadelphia on Tuesday to visit the rural crash site. “Just being local, it was weird how it hit you,” Gurten said of Dunn’s death. “We don’t know the guy, but he seemed like a normal dude doing good for himself.” Seeing the “long distance of trees that was ripped apart,” Gurten also witnessed a visit from Margera, who placed a candle near the already-replaced guardrail. Robert Moyer, 32, said at least 50 people were paying their respects when he stopped by the site Monday afternoon as police investigated amid the stench of burning wood and plastic. Moyer said Dunn shook his hand and “acted like a normal guy” when the two crossed paths at West Chester’s T.G.I. Friday’s. “He wasn’t trying to throw his money down or act like a big shot. He didn’t have a chip on his shoulder,” Moyer recalled. “He said, ‘Thanks for the support. Thanks for watching my movies.’ ” Hailing from the Pocono Mountains region of Pennsylvania, West Chester University student Kait Sabo, 21, attested to the attention Dunn and his cohorts have brought to her new home. “When I say I go to West Chester, they associate it with ‘Jackass,’ and I’m from three hours away,” she explained. “They cheated death a lot,” Sabo said of the show’s stars. “You have to stop pushing your limits and realize death is a possibility.” Her friend, West Chester native Christy Colflesh, called Dunn a “down-to-earth, totally awesome guy” who never refused a request to pose for photographs with fans. She said at least 20 cars lined the street near the crash site on Tuesday afternoon, and some visitors collected bits of trees and whatever scraps they could find of the shattered Porsche. “So many people loved him,” she said, referring to the plethora of Ryan Dunn memorial pages that have cropped up on Facebook in the past few days. “People stand up for him.” The Chester County coroner’s report lists blunt force trauma and thermal trauma as the official causes of death for Dunn and his passenger, 30-year-old Iraq vet Zachary Hartwell , who was credited as a production assistant on “Jackass Number Two.” Hours before the crash, Dunn tweeted a photo of himself, Hartwell and another man at Barnaby’s. Toxicology results, which might help determine whether alcohol was involved in the crash, will be released in four to six weeks, the coroner’s office said. A Barnaby’s employee told MTV News on Monday afternoon that Dunn “didn’t seem intoxicated.” Dunn appeared on the MTV shows “Jackass” and “Viva La Bam” and the three “Jackass” big-screen adaptations. He was the star of his own short-lived MTV show, “Homewrecker,” and co-hosted the brand-new G4 show “Proving Ground,” which has been pulled off the network’s schedule.

I heard that the movie The Tourist totally bombed its opening weekend, now I don’t watch movies and if I do, they are usually pornographic, but I do know how celebrity marketing works and that’s get the main star you paid too much for to show up to a premiere showing off tit like she wasn’t in her mid 40s and a mom of 30, hoping our memories of her as the sexed up, gothic, tatooed up slut that got her where she is today are enough to get us out to the movie, and I think that strategy may be working, cuz I’m definitely sold on these tits.
