My name’s Kailyn and I’m 16 years old. I’ve…

My name’s Kailyn and I’m 16 years old. I’ve been a belieber for 3 and a half years now and I never in a million years thought I’d have the opportunity to be writing my story about meeting my idol right now. I met Justin on October 5th in Fresno, California. I saved up all my money for 2 years to get meet & greets, but they sold out as soon as tickets went on sale. I didn’t end up getting the best seats, but I was still so thankful I had tickets and I counted down every single day. A couple weeks before the concert, I heard that  bieberfever.com  was having a contest and all you had to do was take a picture of your Bieber collection and I decided to enter, even though I really didn’t think I’d win. On October 4th, I left for the 8 hour long drive to Fresno and on the way my mom received an email from BieberFever saying I won meet & greets . I started screaming and crying because I couldn’t believe I, of all people, was finally going to meet Justin. I had already come to the conclusion that it was just never going to happen for me, so I couldn’t even comprehend what was going on! The next day, we got to SaveMart Center and picked up our wristbands. There was one for me and one for my cousin, Kiandra. We stood in line for so long, but the wait was definitely worth it. While we were in line, we saw Kenny, Allison, Alfredo and met Scooter and omg, they’re all so perfect. I’ve met Scooter before on My World Tour and video chatted with him on AirtTime and he’s amazing! After we met Scooter, the guy standing outside of the room Justin was in told us we were next. I heard Justin say “Hi, how are you?” to a lady and a little girl in the same group as us.   I was so excited and I didn’t think I would freak out but as soon as   I saw him IN REAL LIFE, I just started crying. Alfredo said, “Aww, are you okay?” and I said “Yeah” and then we quickly took the picture. They said we had to be in groups of 6 and I unfortunately was the last one in so I didn’t get to stand next to Justin. I was on the very right next to my cousin, but I didn’t really care because I WAS STANDING A FEW FEET FROM JUSTIN. After the picture, Kiandra got a hug and Justin said “Hi, beautiful” to her. After she was done, I gave Justin a hug and all I remember is looking at him and his skin was so perfect. I got rushed out because I was the last one in the room and just as I was about to leave, Justin said “I LOVE YOU!” and I looked at him and said “I love you too!” I was bummed that I didn’t get to really say much to him, but I couldn’t believe Justin had just personally told me that he loved me. I will literally never forget when he said that. He didn’t have to say that, but he went out of his way to tell me that. It was the best moment of my life and Justin made me feel so special.  After we left the room, I started crying so much and me and Kiandra hugged for what felt like years. We walked out and went to stand in line to get into the arena and girls who were outside looking in the windows were staring at us and congratulating us. The concert was phenomenal and I loved EVERY single minute of it. A week before the concert, we decided that on our way home we would stop at Oracle Arena in Oakland, California to try and get tickets. I spent almost all of my money I saved for the first concert and bought a hotel and took more time off of work and I didn’t even know if we would get in. On October 6th, we drove another 3 hours and arrived at Oracle Arena around 1 in the afternoon. After about 2 minutes of standing in a group of about 20 girls, Justin and Moshe came out on their segways and Justin touched my mom’s hand! After Justin left, literally everyone was screaming and freaking out. My mom found the box office at the arena and we decided we’d see if they were still selling tickets. Luckily they were and there were other people waiting also. We stood in line for nearly 3 hours while people waited for floor seats and after hours of waiting, we decided to get section 124 tickets. We didn’t think think they’d be the best seats because no one wanted them and they were side stage, but we were just so happy to be in the arena because we sacrificed a lot to be there. There were still a couple hours to spare, so we waited outside with a ton of other beliebers and we sang some of Justin’s songs. A lot of the crew and some of the dancers came out, but we only met Kenny and Dan because there were so many of us and they couldn’t get to all of us. A bunch of beliebers passed out pink hearts that had Avalanna’s name on them and they told us to hold them up during Be Alright. Once we were in the arena, we got to our seats and we could see everything behind the stage! I saw Kenny, Scooter, Allison, Scrappy and Dan walking around a lot and we could see people getting the boat and wings ready, etc. The last time we saw Dan, he waved at us! I could see Cody and Carly backstage and even though we were side stage, we were pretty close Once we saw Justin, everyone in our section screamed but I don’t think he heard us. We saw Justin getting ready in the wings and when he would go backstage in between songs. We even saw the one less lonely girl before she went on stage! Once again, the concert was absolutely stunning and during Be Alright, all of us held up our pink hearts and Justin tweeted about it a couple days later! I was so happy to have seen Justin 2 nights in a row and I am extremely thankful I got to meet/see everyone from the crew and meet other beliebers. Most of all, I am so grateful my dream finally came true after 3 years. If you’re reading this, never give up on your dreams. It might seem impossible and you might want to give up, but I promise you all that your chance will come sooner than you think. Thank you to everyone who made this possible, especially @catchjbfever, and thank you Justin for everything you do for your fans. You have saved my life and this experience has truly changed my views on everything and I will always be grateful. Thank you all for reading my experience and I hope every single one of you is able to one day have your own – @biebertonorcal See the rest here: My name’s Kailyn and I’m 16 years old. I’ve…

I’m actually so surprised I finally get to write one of these….

I’m actually so surprised I finally get to write one of these. My dream FINALLY came true after 3 years. A few months ago I had bought tickets for Justin’s concert on October 6th, 2012 in Oakland, CA. I was sec 116, row 17, seat 10. About a week and a half before the concert I heard of a contest Bieberfever.com was having. The contest was to post a picture of all of your Bieber stuff and 10 people were chosen to meet Justin at your concert. I sent an email with my picture of all of my stuff and had to wait until October 5th, a day before the concert to find out if I won. All day Friday I checked my email in every class but there was nothing. On my way to a football game with my friend later that day I checked my email once more and there it was “Congratulations Natasha! You are now officially invited to a meet and greet with Justin” My heart was beating faster than ever and I was hyperventilating. I was so excited. That night I made posters and shirts for the concert. I arrived at the Oracle Arena at about 8:30 a.m. Saturday to maybe get a glimpse of Justin..way more than just that happened. When I first arrived there were about 10 other people there at maximum. All of the sudden people started coming out of the tour busses that were there and it was Carlena, Jon Boogie, and a few other of Justin’s dancers. I was able to have them all sign one of my posters and take pictures . Then 2 white tour busses arrive and it was CARLY! She waved to all of us! Later, Nick Demoura and DJ Tay James came out and I got them to sign my poster and take pictures as well. After that, everyone started screaming and we went over to the VIP section and there he was. Justin Bieber was riding around on a segway inside the VIP parking lot. I was so happy to get a glimpse of him. It was about 4 o’clock when I had to go up to get my meet and greet pass, when all the sudden I heard more screaming and there was Kenny Hamilton! He was on a segway and went pass the crowd and I was able to high five him. Then Scooter came out and I got him to sign my Believe CD. Next I went inside and was in line for the meet and greet and Scooter comes out of the doors and goes outside. When he comes back in I ask for a hug and HE HUGS ME. Then we are let in to meet Justin, sadly we had to be put in groups of 6 but I’m so grateful for my experience. After our picture was taken, I GOT TO HUG HIM. I GOT TO HUG JUSTIN DREW BIEBER and then I got to see Alfredo again. I was screaming, I was so happy! After that I was waiting for the concert to start and it was amazing. It was my 3rd Justin Bieber concert. I am so happy that this has happened to me. I am the luckiest girl in the universe. -@dibsonharry (I’m the one in the Bieber hat!)

When The Checks Stop Coming In: Author Of “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” Goes Broke And Files For Bankruptcy

Bankrupt Dad? When you make millions giving financial advice to other people, the last thing anyone expects is for you to go bankrupt. Robert Kiyosaki, author of the best-selling book, “Rich Dad, Poor Dad,” has filed for bankruptcy. Kiyosaki made the move after being wiped out by a $24 million dollar lawsuit that he lost to the Learning Annex. Kiyosaki’s Rich Global LLC filed for bankruptcy after being ordered to pay nearly $24 million to the Learning Annex and its founder and chairman, Bill Zanker. US District Judge Shira A. Scheindlin in April ordered Rich Global to pay up $23,687,957.21 after a jury ruled Kiyosaki must give the Learning Annex a percentage of his profits after using their platform for speaking engagements, including a 2002 gig at Madison Square Garden. Rich Global filed for bankruptcy in Wyoming on Aug. 20. Zanker told us, “I took Kiyosaki’s brand and made it bigger. The deal was I would get a percentage, and he reneged. We had a signed letter of intent. The Learning Annex is the greatest promoter. We put his ‘Rich Dad’ brand on a stage. We truly prepared him for great fame and riches. But when it was time for him to pay up, he said ‘no.’ ” This has taken years in court. I won even more money than I asked for from the jury, then he declared corporate bankruptcy. Oprah believed in him, and Will Smith believed in him, but he didn’t keep his promise to us.” “Robert and [wife] Kim are not paying out of personal assets. We have a few million dollars in this company, but not 16 or 20. I can’t do anything about a $20 million judgment . . . We got hit for what we think is a completely outlandish figure.” Sounds like Kiyosaki won. He didn’t declare personal bankruptcy, just some defunct company with no money. Smart Dad after all. Source

Robert Pattinson: Cozying Up to Random Blonde?

Taking a break from drilling holes in bars , Robert Pattinson was spotted cozying up to a mystery blonde at the Dream Hotel’s Electric Room in NYC. Does this mean he and K-Stew are still on the rocks? Yes, this is the same Electric Room where Lindsay Lohan and Dina Lohan partied before their epic fight this morning, and yes, this actually happened. Check out the grainy shots of R-Pattz . The duo are seated at a table surrounded by other people, so it’s far from a Jason Aldean-style mauling. Still, it’s yet another mystery in the Robsten saga. Pattinson has been in New York for the past several days while Kristen Stewart has been in Los Angeles, spending time with friends and with her father. The two are reportedly back together and even living under the same roof again, so until we hear otherwise … we still won’t have a clue what’s going on. One thing’s for sure. They will be publicly reuniting in the coming weeks to promote their Twilight finale, Breaking Dawn Part 2. Watch the final trailer below! The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 Trailer

Romney: "Completely Wrong" on 47 Percent Comment

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is again trying to distance himself from his infamous “47 percent” comment, calling it “completely wrong.” As opposed to “ineloquently stated,” his original description of the quote. Mitt Romney on Obama Voters Romney, whose comments were caught on video at a private fundraiser in May, says “the words that came out were not what I meant” and disavowed them. His comments implied that 47 percent of voters are government-dependent, self-identified victims who will vote for President Obama no matter what. In an interview with CNN, Romney said he’d work for “100 percent of the people,” adding: “What was stated in the tape was not referring to what kind of president I’d be.” Trying to put the remark in context, he said, “I was talking about how you get 50.1 percent of the vote … I’d like to get 100 percent of the vote, but I figure that’s not going to happen.” “I was trying to tell contributors how I get to 50.1 percent. I think it’s always a perilous course for a candidate to start talking about the mathematics of an election.” Romney dominated the presidential debate last week and has enjoyed a major bump in the polls as a result, with survey composites showing him virtually tied with Obama.

Julia Gillard: The Movie? 5 Oscar-Caliber Actresses Who Could Play Australia’s Sexism-Fighting Iron Lady

It’s not hard to imagine the big-screen version of scenes like this week’s epic takedown on the Australian Parliament floor, in which Prime Minister Julia Gillard eviscerated her opposition party rival Tony Abbott with a 15-minute speech on sexism and misogyny. (Watch it below and revel in the glorious wrath of Gillard’s pointed and passionate tirade.) Somewhere out there a hundred screenwriters are furiously turning Gillard’s sermon into Oscar gold, so why don’t we go ahead and predict the five Academy Award-caliber actresses at the top of the casting list when Hollywood comes calling with the inevitable Iron Lady -esque Gillard biopic? Tilda Swinton The British Oscar-winner certainly has Gillard’s steeliness down, but she tends to go for more morally complex and ambiguous characters with hidden frailties bubbling beneath the surface. Perfect for politics! Plus, she can make even the most mundane things — say, parachute pants or a pair of socks or whatever — into High Art . (See pic at left.) Tilda’s would be the most fascinating Gillard, that’s for sure, but there’s also… Cate Blanchett She’s done Mamet, played Queen Elizabeth and earned the adulation of LOTR fans for all of time — Cate Blanchett is a sharp-tongued woman of the people, an ethereally regal figure with a presence that can command a room. Or a Parliament floor. Bonus: She’s Australian and a convincingly bad-ass Oscar-winner — and she’s already tangled publicly with Australian opposition leader/watch-checker Abbott before. Toni Collette The Aussie actress (who earned a Best Supporting nod for The Sixth Sense ) has more of a seriocomic bent than her drama-pedigreed peers, but who wouldn’t love to see the erstwhile Muriel Heslop come full circle as the most powerful lady in Australian politics? Rachel Griffiths Speaking of Muriel’s Wedding : Collette’s co-star Rachel Griffiths bears a resemblance to the honourable PM, no? (If you squint. Kinda.) Her work on TV’s Brothers and Sisters and Six Feet Under brought her attention stateside, but a role like Gillard would be a career-maker for the Oscar nominee who earned a nod for 1998’s Hilary and Jackie . Jodie Foster It’s easy to see a bit of Jodie Foster in Gillard. Foster, who’s become choosy with her acting gigs of late (she next appears in 2013’s Elysium ), would slay in the now-famous Australian Parliament court room scene; she might even direct the thing herself. Can’t you just picture her pointing a finger at the smirking Abbott (played by Hugo Weaving, my only choice) delivering lines like ” He’s capable of double standards — but not capable of change! ”? What say you, Movieliners? Dream cast away. [via Jezebel ]

WATCH: Sarah Silverman Asks John C. Reilly If He’s ‘A Hobo’ In Wreck-It Ralph Clip

After throughly enjoying Adult Swim alumnus Jim Tozzi’s Psychocats parody trailers for Seven Psychopaths (which made me even more focused and productive in the office), I’m counting the minutes until some new-media smart-ass takes this fun  Wreck-It Ralph clip and makes it funnier by splicing in some of  Sarah Silverman and John C. Reilly’s less, um, family-oriented comedy. Reilly plays the title character of the Rich Moore-directed Disney animated picture, which hits cineplexes on Nov. 2.  He’s Wreck-It Ralph,  a vide0-game villain from a Donkey Kong-like game who tires of being the bad guy and goes on a vision quest of sorts to prove that he can be a hero. His journey takes him through a couple of game scenarios, including Sugar Rush , a candy-themed Mario Kart homage, where he encounters Vanellope von Schweetz, a cutesy voiced cookie full of arsenic.  In this clip, Vanellope proceeds to needle Ralph by, for instance, asking him if he’s “a hobo” and commenting on his “freakishly big” hands until he pronounces her “freakishly annoying.” Perhaps because the word freakish gets tossed around, I found myself hearkening back to these YouTube clips featuring Silverman on Conan O’Brien’s TBS talk show and Reilly on Adult Swim as the genius Dr. Steve Brule.  In the right hands their words coming out of Ralph and Vanellope’s computer-generated mouths could be pretty diabolically funny. If any Final Cut jockey out there is up for the challenge, I’d love to see the results. Follow Frank DiGiacomo on Twitter. Follow Movieline on Twitter.

Olivia Wilde Monologues About Sudeikis Sex And That One Time Her Vagina ‘Died’

Actress, former Italian princess by marriage, truthsayer: Olivia Wilde dropped TMI last night in a monologue about her “marathon” sex sessions with boyfriend Jason Sudeikis and how to tell when your vagina’s not that into a relationship anymore. “Sometimes your vagina dies… then you know it’s time to go.” Preach . Vulture was on the scene at Joe’s Pub in New York, where Wilde’s monologue was part of a series hosted by Glamour. But who knows what the other speakers talked about in their pieces because OLIVIA WILDE OVERSHARED ABOUT HER VAGINA. “I felt like my vagina died,” she said of her eight-year marriage to an Italian prince. “Turned off. Lights out…and you can lie to your relatives at Christmas dinner and tell them everything on the home front is just peachy. But you cannot lie to your vagina.” Above: Jason Sudeikis and Olivia Wilde, marathon runners It turns out Wilde, who was not only married to a freaking Italian prince but is gorgeous and talented and a smarty-pants who was babysat by Christopher Hitchens as a child, IS just like us: Terrified of the ol’ monogamy sex slump. Her cheeky solution to those relationship rough patches: Olivia Land (via Vulture ): In Olivia Land, relationships can legally only last seven years, without an option to renew. That way it never goes stale. Can you imagine, if we only had seven years? We’d be so nice to each other, so kind, and appreciative and enthusiastic, like we were eating a really expensive bowl of pasta! And in Olivia Land people wouldn’t cheat nearly as much because there wouldn’t be the threat of spending forever with one bedfellow. It just wouldn’t be legal. There’s the issue of kids. Okay this is fun. In Olivia Land, all the kids go to boarding school at seven. It’s like in Harry Potter! I would like to legalize prostitution. Hiring a sex worker in Olivia Land would be as easy, hygienic, and inexpensive as getting a pedicure. That way when away on business or just not in the mood, we could just hire a hooker for our loved one and keep them uninterested in cheating and keep them satisfied. These particular hookers would obviously have to be mute and possibly cross-eyed. In Olivia Land, the streets are paved with dark chocolate, and all the people are free of body hair and menstrual cramps.” Above: Olivia Wilde talkin’ ’bout some sex Seriously though, kudos to Wilde for having the balls to come out as a public figure to drop truth bombs like this: “[Men] are not allowed to be the only ones thinking with their genitals. We think with our pussies.” Between Olivia Wilde and Australian PM Julia Gillard , Tuesday’s been a great news day for womenkind. Your move, Wednesday.

Hollyweirdos: Brad “Jah Rastafari” Pitt Dons Funky Costumes And Covers ‘Interview Magazine’

Brad Pitt got way into character for a recent cover feature for Interview Magazine , then he proceeded to get kinda, uh, deep and stuff… discussing how acting is no longer his true passion and he’s become increasingly selective about the roles he takes on. Via NYDaily News Brad Pitt tells the October/November issue of Interview Magazine that he’s getting increasingly finicky about the movie roles he chooses. “I want it to be worthy enough of a story to leave the family, you know? They’re everything,” the 48-year-old star told Guy Ritchie, his director on 2000’s “Snatch.” The family is first . . . I also don’t want to embarrass them.” Angelina Jolie’s fiance also posed for a photo spread for the magazine in which he dresses as a number of different characters, including a hitman and a Rastafarian. Nowadays, Pitt says, “I’d rather be behind the camera,” adding that he relishes working as a producer. That doesn’t mean the star of the upcoming, “Killing Them Softly” doesn’t think he can still hack it on screen. When asked by Richie how he feels about himself as an actor, Pitt responded, “Pretty damn solid. I’d say pretty damn solid.” The roles he has cherrypicked recently – from his Academy Award-nominated performance in “Moneyball” to his critically acclaimed turn in “The Tree of Life” – he picks because he’s interested in the company of the directors behind them. For “Killing Them Softly,” he says, he was seduced by what looks like an engaging crime thriller – but is really an allegory that takes aim at business and politics in the United States. “We’re at a particularly ugly time when we’re at such a divide in America, but that divide is not there because everyone is trying to figure out what’s best for the people,” the Obama supporter told Interview. “It’s there because one side is trying to win out over the other side.” See what we mean? Deep and stuff. It’s also kind of hilarious that he is concerned about not embarrassing his family. Clearly Shiloh doesn’t give two fawks about that. LOL.
