Never in one million years did I think I would ever get the chance to write a Bieber experience, never mind this happen to me. It is so hard to put it into words but I will try my best. The very first time I laid eyes on Justin was 07/11/11. Justin was coming to Westfield Shopping Centre to promote ‘Under The Mistletoe’ and turn on the Christmas lights. I travelled 5 hours down to London and then waited around 7 hours for a wristband. I met so many amazing girls while I was waiting. Finally Justin arrived. Even though it was short, it was the most amazing thing,. I burst out crying as soon as he came on stage! You can watch the show here . I’m in the video too! The second time I saw Justin was at the Capital Summer Time Ball. But then it was time for the Believe Tour. As soon as I knew, Believe UK tickets were coming out on sale. I went on to my BieberFever account and got my pre-sale code! I bought tickets to Sheffield, but unfortunately, around 2 days later I checked my emails and saw it was cancelled. My heart sank. I thought, “I bet all the tickets are sold out now!” but when I looked through my emails again, I saw that I could get some for Manchester , as they had reserved some seats for BieberFever users. I was SO happy! I then entered the Best Collection competition for meet and greets but unfortunately I didn’t win it. I lost all hope of EVER meeting Justin and I just felt empty. But, I was still happy I would be seeing him the next day!  My best friend and I arrived at the arena and we were just so hyped. Our tickets were great: Block J, row A, seat 1 & 2. We had also made personalized tops in hope to stand out and get noticed! When Justin first came on, Kenny walked straight past me! I reached my hand out, he smiled and held it then walked off. I was fan-girling SO MUCH. It was around the time when Justin was singing ‘Never Say Never’ when  I saw Allison walking down the isle next to me. When she walked past, she looked at me for about 5 seconds then walked off. I knew she was picking the OLLG. She walked past another two times but she didn’t seem interested in me. Then ‘Beauty And A Beat’ was on, when I felt a tap on the shoulder. My heart froze, and I turned around. “Do you know what I’m about to ask you?” Allison said. I just froze and started hyperventilating. “Do you want to be the one less lonely girl?”  “YES!!!” I screamed, and turned to my best friend screaming. I held Allison’s hand and started walking down the isle screaming at everyone I past. I kept saying, “Thank you!!!!” to her and I just kept looking at the stage and thinking how I would be up there soon! I was backstage and Allison was telling me what to do, but I just couldn’t understand anything. Everything felt like a dream, it was so magical.  She said “Whats your name?” so I said “Harriet” and she said, “What’s your name tonight?” and I replied, “ONE LESS LONELY GIRL!”  She was just asking me if I had my phone and making sure my shorts and top were alright. Then, someone was walking up to us, and then I realized it was FREDO!  Straight away I went and gave him a massive hug and he squeezed me! He said, “Well done!” I started crying and shaking, but Fredo told me to save it until I’m out there and to be happy, so I did! Fredo gave me a high five then started filming me. I walked up some small steps towards the stage as Fredo was still filming. Then suddenly I felt a tap on the shoulder, and it was Ryan! I gave him a huge hug and we were just chatting, they are all SO nice, the dancers as well. I knew it was near to the part where I come on stage, and I was shaking so much. I asked Allison if I can talk to Justin after but she said he has to go straight back on stage. The dancers opened the curtains and I just focused my eyes on Justin. He turned around and reached his hand out to me. I completely forgot there were 20,000 people watching and just walked to him. He took my hand, and sat me down on the chair. His eyes were so beautiful, I was lost in them. He put the OLLG crown on me and put his hand on my back. WAS I DREAMING? JUSTIN BIEBER SAT IN FRONT OF ME, SINGING TO ME! I started singing along to the words. Then he came up next to me again and put his arm on my back. I hugged him, feeling his PERFECT body. I rested my head on him. It was seriously like heaven. Then he came in front of me, and held my hand. I was still in denial it was happening to me. Then he finished the song and I gave him a hug. Justin asked, “What’s your name?” “Harriet..” “What?” (CAN I JUST SAY THIS WAS SO SEXY – he raised his eyebrows and he just looked beautiful) “Harriet? Everyone give it up for Harriet!” He stepped down, linked his arm out for me, and I stepped down and held on to his arms, I couldn’t resist.  I said, “I love you Justin!” and he said “I love you too!” and we ran off together. When we went off, Justin had to go back on stage, and Allison said to me, “How was it?!”  and I said “PERFECT!” We were walking back down the small stairs and I was shaking so much. I said to her, “I think I’m going to faint,” and she said, “Don’t do that til we are down the stairs!”  Fredo came up to us with his camera and I said thank you too them both and we started walking back to our seats. I was so shaky, confused, happy, LOST IN CONFUSION! Just then my best friend, Ebonie, saw me and we ran to each other and gave each other the BIGGEST hug. We were both just crying with happiness! Fredo filmed the whole thing! They went round back stage, and I was just telling Ebonie all about it. I just wanted to say, that I am never lucky, ever. Everything about Justin is so perfect, and you have to believe that your dream will come true one day.  This is a memory I will keep forever, and I will never take it for granted . God was with me that night and I am so blessed. Remember – NEVER SAY NEVER! Thank you so much for reading my Bieber experience, and it was an honor to finally be able to write one. -@JDBbelievetour Video of me as OLLG in Manchester  See more here: Never in one million years did I think I would ever get the…

My name is Leah and I never ever thought I would get to write my own Bieber experience. I always dreamed that I would get the opportunity to meet Justin, but never thought it would really come true. Since I found out I had gotten meet and greets I was counting down the days until February 18   finally arrived. I had never been so excited for anything in my whole life! I woke up that morning, got ready, and headed for the O2 arena in Dublin . When I got to the O2 we had to wait outside for awhile before we got inside and we were given our wristbands, meet and greet passes and merchandise. We then had to stand in line and wait for the meet and greet to start. I met so many lovely people there, everyone was so kind and I even made some new friends! While we were standing in line a man from Justin’s crew came out and told us there was going to be a raffle. Everyone had a ticket and had a chance to win some of the dancer’s stuff and Justin’s vest tops and glove. I didn’t win any and I was gutted. The last prize was then Justin’s shoe. I was praying so much that he’d call out my number.. and he did! I WON JUSTIN’S SHOE! I could not believe it, I had Justin’s shoe right in my hand! The man took a picture of me with the shoe and told me that Justin had worn it on stage at one of his concerts, and I was the first person on the tour that ever won one! We were still waiting in line for ages when we were told Justin was stuck in traffic and would be late. Then some of the crew came out to say hello. Kenny walked right by me and I nearly died! Then Dan came out and talked to us and took pictures with everyone, he even told me he liked my shirt! He is just so lovely. We also met Nick Demoura and some of Justin’s dancers. After 2 1/2 hours of waiting in line, we were told Justin had finally arrived. I thought I was going to pass out right there, knowing that Justin was standing right behind that black curtain. As the line started moving quicker and quicker I started to get more and more nervous. I was trying so hard not to burst out crying. When it was finally my turn to go in behind the curtain, my heart just stopped. I walked around the corner and there was Justin, standing right in front of me. I was shaking so much, I just couldn’t believe this was really happening. He looked absolutely flawless, all I could focus on was his face. He didn’t even look real. I walked towards him and he said “Hi” with a huge smile on his face. I don’t even think I replied, I was in that much shock. He turned me around to face the camera and we got a picture. I don’t even remember looking at the camera, all I could think is, “Oh my god Justin Bieber’s hand is on my back.” I then turned to him and just said, “I love you so much, thank you for everything.” He smiled and said, “I love you too.” I just started crying right there. I just kept saying over and over, “I love you so much, thank you, I love you.” The security then made me leave. When I walked out from behind the curtain I was crying so much. I couldn’t believe I had just met my idol, I was the happiest girl in the world! I then made my way to the concert. I was 3 rd row and had the most amazing view! The concert was absolutely incredible. When Justin was singing ‘Somebody To Love’ he stopped and stared right at me. I was freaking out, it was the most amazing feeling ever! Justin put on an unbelievable show which I’ll always remember! February 18 th was without a doubt the best day of my life. I’m so grateful that I finally got to meet my idol and thank him for everything he’s done for me, it meant the absolute world to me. Meeting Justin was a dream come true and a day I’ll never forget.   –Leah (@Bieber1DSupport) See the rest here: My name is Leah and I never ever thought I would get to write my…

My name is Carly and I recently met Justin Bieber in Atlanta on…

My name is Carly and I recently met Justin Bieber in Atlanta on January 23rd 2013. Let me first start out by saying this is not some super amazing Bieber meeting experience, it’s probably just the average one – BUT IT WAS STILL SO AMAZING. I’m 16, a sophomore and honestly the first time I heard Justin in 7th grade, I claimed I didn’t like him because at the time he was taking the fame away from my beloved Jonas brothers. But soon after I first heard him I fell completely in love with him, like full on obsession. Anyways my bestie Katie and I have been in love with Justin these past couple years or so and we always wanted to meet him. It was the last day of our freshman year and I got a call from Katie while I was out to lunch with some other friends. I answered the phone and all I heard was screaming! She told me that she just bought VIP & FRONT ROW SEATS TO THE JUSTIN BIEBER CONCERT! I totally flipped out at the restaurant I was at and everyone was just staring at me. It was hilarious. Fast forward like 6 months and it’s finally January 23rd, the day we are meeting Justin. We skipped school that day to get ready and we showed up at the Philips Arena at about 3:00 p.m. We stand in so many lines that took forever. We finally made it inside the venue and we were standing in these lines with all these other beliebers. As we were walking to the area to meet Justin, in the corner of my eye I see Kenny walk by. I was the only one who saw him and I pointed and was like “HOLY CRAP THAT’S KENNY!!!” He looked at me, smiled and continued walking. We finally got down to this little basketball gym and there were these black curtains hung up in the corner where we were soon gonna meet Justin. We waited in that gym for a long time while more and more people came in. The guy running the whole thing told us we weren’t allowed to kiss Justin because its flu season ..so that ruined me and Katie’s plan. We wanted to kiss his cheeks. Katie and I decided we were gonna pose and put our hands on his stomach. Anyways while we were waiting, Dan Kanter and Kenny came into the room and everyone was freaking out. Sadly we didn’t get a chance to talk to them or get a picture. We waited some more and then finally they started letting people in to meet Justin. Katie and I started freaking out. Soon we were next in line. We walked into the curtained area and Justin was standing there wearing faded red pants with polka dots, a tank, black jacket, sunglasses, and a hat. My eyes got so huge, I had the dumbest look on my face and I looked into his sunglasses eyes and just said, “OH MY GOD.” He gave me a little giggle and then said, “Hey ladies,” which Katie replied with a high pitched, “HI”. My friend had told me you get rushed by security so as soon as I made a fool out of myself I quickly tried to get a hug from him and then pose in the picture. This part became a blur because as I put my hand on his stomach, I felt the outlines of his beautiful abs on my fingertips. It was so amazing. Like I don’t even remember him saying bye or me saying bye, I was still in awe. The security rushes us out and when we got out of the curtains all the girls were staring at me and I was like, “I JUST FELT JUSTIN BIEBER’S ABS. I FELT THEM, I FELT THEM.” It was seriously so amazing. When we got outside Katie told me that Lil Twist was in there and he was laughing at me the entire time. I was so in shock, I didn’t even notice him. Anyways it was seriously THE BEST day of my life. At the concert, I was in the front row. While Justin was singing ‘Eenie Meenie,’ he was dancing right in front of me and then all of a sudden looked RIGHT INTO MY EYES and pointed AT ME and smiled. I will never forget this day. It was so worth every single penny. And that was My Bieber Experience. -@carly_gmann Here is the original post: My name is Carly and I recently met Justin Bieber in Atlanta on…

My name is Ashley and on October 21, 2012, I had the best day of my life, I met Justin Bieber. I’ve been a belieber for as long as I can remember. I remember seeing ‘One Time’ on MTV in 2009 and I just had to Google this guy. I spent hours looking at his YouTube and created a Twitter, just to follow him. As the years went on my love for him grew and grew. In 2010, I went to the My World Tour . I had bleacher seats at the very back and I was angry because I could barely see him and a couple girls kept on trying to hold up a banner blocking my view. I just kept on saying to myself, at least you get to see him, something good will come out of it, so I tried to enjoy the concert by just trying to listen to his voice. Later that month, I began to get addicted to Twitter and spent my time tweeting Justin. Then, on June 12, Justin followed me . I felt like I was the luckiest girl in the world and today, I am one of the lucky ones with the amount he follows. Now in 2012, I knew Justin was coming out with ‘Believe’ and how he was going to be doing a tour. I asked my mom the day the tickets went on sale if she could buy me some, they don’t have to be M&G just the best tickets she could afford . She said she would. I come home from school and I asked her, “Did you buy me any tickets for Justin’s concert?” She responded, with “No, I’m sorry I was busy.” With this I flared over to the computer and searched frantically for tickets knowing they would sell out quickly. As I asked my mom for her credit card, she goes downstairs to grab it and comes upstairs with a sheet of paper that she gives to me. With that she says, “Here you go, you’re meeting Justin.” Not knowing how to respond I start crying and repeatedly say, “Thank You,” because she knew how happy Justin makes me. The day I met Justin, I’m standing in line with a letter and treats for PAC. I don’t feel any emotion. As soon as security says you can go in, it hits me HARD. I accidentally gave my merchandise to security along with the letter and the treats. As the curtain opened, Justin was standing there smiling at me. His smile, his hair, everything put me into shock. Shaken I walk over to him and whisper, “H-i-i-i” under my breath. He replied with, “Hi guys, how are you?” Wrapping his arm around my waist instantly leaving my left arm trapped against his body. Wanting to put my arm around his waist, I lift up my arm and try to bring it around but in the process I accidentally hit him in the face having him say,”Oooops.” Just knowing I hit my idol in the face, my face turned bright red, having them taking the photo the same time. Justin said, “Thank You” and we said our goodbyes. As I walked out I was dazed. I was the only girl that wasn’t freaking out or crying. I was standing there saying, “Is this real?” “What just happened?” over and over again. It was time to let us into the arena for the concert and we went to our front row seats.  It was all too much to handle and that’s when it actually hit me that I met him. I started freaking out and went onto Twitter to tweet what was happening. After about 5 minutes, my phone went dead. One of my friends came up to me and was freaking out saying Alfredo tweeted me. I was like, “WHAT? NO WAY, NO,” and I couldn’t even check if it was true since my phone died. The concert started and everything was forgotten leaving me with an amazing and unforgettable time. It was beyond what I can type into words and I can’t even believe it all became true. Now I can say I have met my idol and seen him perform three times (B96 Jingle Bash on 12.15.12) and he now knows I exist. Even if it was only for a minute. It was definitely worth it, every single second of supporting him and every one I have for the next 50 years. -@biebersshare See the article here: My name is Ashley and on October 21, 2012, I had the best day of…

Let me just start of by saying this was the craziest thing that has ever happened to me. I am not a lucky person what so ever and for me to be able to experience being in Justin’s presence is beyond words. My name is Jordyn and I was one of the winners of the Adidas NEO Label Gold Shoes Contest . Being the fan-girl that I am, I was on JustinBieberZone looking at the recent updates on the Biebs and saw that he was involved in a contest with the Adidas NEO Label. If you found the code within that week, you would be entered to win a trip to Miami to meet the one and only Justin Bieber. I figured, “Why not give it a try, it won’t hurt.” I entered the first two weeks and then forgot all about it. After the second week, I start getting tweets from random Bieber accounts saying “CONGRATS ON WINNING!” and I was so confused because I was literally getting so many congratulations about winning something. I scrolled down my mentions and saw that Adidas Neo had tweeted me saying “@jordlynnelias Congratulations! You will be going to Miami to meet Justin Bieber! #FindMyGoldShoes” I had to take a minute to process the fact that this tweet had my name associated with the words “winner”, “Miami” and “Justin Bieber” before I could really understand what I have just won. What was awkward was I was home alone so I had no one to celebrate with! As I was shaking, I called everyone I know and of course not one person believed me. I then got all the details on the trip from Adidas Neo. January 25-27 were the days that I thought couldn’t come soon enough! Finally the day came for my mom and I to leave for Miami. We arrived around 1:00 p.m. and have a private car waiting for us. It was seriously like a movie! At this point my mom and I were nervous thinking the worst possible thing, like they would take us to some torture chamber or something because this trip was still too good to be true. But no, we arrived at the resort with a greeting from two of the sweetest ladies that were hired by Adidas to plan everything out. We got our room keys and were told that there was a “surprise” waiting in my room. I’m thinking “Bieber?!” but I wasn’t that lucky. THE GOLD SHOES were sitting on my bed with a perfect signature that every girl dreams of having. Of course I took 295718357 pictures with them on, and couldn’t stop touching them. It was absolutely incredible. After being spoiled with that amazing gift, we met everyone else who won the contest. I was the ONLY American there! Girls from Germany, Indonesia, Ireland, Thailand, Uruguay, and just about any other country you can think of, it was crazy. It was amazing seeing just how this one boy has affected all of these different girls lives. He was the only thing that all of us had in common. After the first day of surprises were over, Saturday was the day everyone was holding their breath for. This was the day Adidas made 15 girls dreams come to life. We were treated with an Everglades tour and lunch before the concert. Stress came around 2:00 when we all departed from the group to get all pretty to meet what some of us might say, our “idol”. Around 3:45 was when it really hit everyone that we were on our way to meet Justin. As we arrive at the arena, we head straight to will call for our meet and greet bands. “I’m sorry, we do not have Adidas’ wristbands yet, you have to wait 30 minutes” is what 15 anxious beliebers were told by the ticket vendors. This is when full force stress kicked in for all of us. The meet and greet line was piling up fast and we were sitting there even wondering if this was even possible for this to be real. As we were waiting, there was a little perk when one of Justin’s dancers, Johnny came out to get tickets for his family. I was the only on who recognized him so I went up and quietly asked for a picture and he was so sweet about it and said, “Of course” so we took our picture and he proceeded to get his tickets. Finally, they gave us our wristbands and we headed to the end of the line. This was a line of 50 people when we got there but by the time we were done waiting, it was a line of 400 people. There was no way that Justin can meet every single one of these girls in an hour. The line is moving very slow for the first 45 minutes and then the pace starts getting quicker once 7:00 rolled around. I was thrown into a group of 6 people thinking they are going to let us get our own picture with Justin and get stuff signed and not be rushed. Boy was I wrong about that one. “If you want to meet Bieber, you need to pick up the pace, lets go lets go lets go!”  The crew was making this wonderful experience seem like a nightmare. Once I got up to the black curtain, had my phone ready and my Twitter name written on a little piece of paper, “NO PHONES OR PERSONAL ITEMS ALLOWED!” was shouted in my ear. By this point I’m confused. People pay thousands of dollars just for a 5 second meet and greet and to be screamed at like your trying to kill him or something! I walk in the room where a porcelain perfect human was standing with open arms. I take advantage and run up to him wrapping my arms around him saying, “I’ve got to stand next to you!” and he replied “Hi Sweetie! How are you!” as I melted when he placed his arm around my waist for the picture while rubbing my back, “1,2,3 thanks guys”. Security took full force with pushing everyone out of the room but being the rebel that I am, I handed Justin the piece of paper with my Twitter name on it and said, “Please just take this” and so he did. Even though I was man handled by his security and treated like a terrorist, I was still in complete awe that I was in the presence of JUSTIN BIEBER! HE CALLED ME SWEETIE! Like that doesn’t happen everyday. All smiles, we were seated in the front row of the first level which gave us perfect seats. This was where all of his crew would walk by so I was lucky enough to touch Alfredo, Kenny, Scooter, and Jonathan’s (Kim Kardashian’s BFF) hands as they walked by. Justin’s Believe 3D was also being filmed at this concert to that was just another perk about the trip. Justin is probably one of the best performers this world will ever see. Entertainment should be his middle name because that is exactly what he is, an entertainer. Perfection is the only word I can use to describe this experience and I just want to thank you so much Adidas Neo Label, and Justin Bieber for allowing this to happen because it was only a dream, of not only mine but every single girl that had this opportunity. This was MBE and if you haven’t already gotten one, I hope you do because there are no words to describe the feeling of this. You’re a true inspiration to so many out there and I am glad to call you one of mine. Love you Justin! Thank you again! -Jordyn (@ jordlynnelias) Read this article: Let me just start of by saying this was the craziest thing that…

Parental Control: 16-Year-Old Girl Sues Parents For “Forcing Her To Get An Abortion”

Does this young lady have a valid case in court against her parents??? Via ABC News: A pregnant 16-year-old Texas girl is suing her parents, claiming that her parents are attempting to force her to have an abortion. The Texas Center for Defense of Life filed a lawsuit on the teen’s behalf on Sunday arguing that her parents “are violating her federal constitutional rights to carry her child to term by coercing her to have an abortion with both verbal and physical threats and harassment.” The teen, identified in the lawsuit only as R.E.K. since she is a minor, was “beside herself” when she called the center for help, her lawyer Stephen Casey told ABCNews.com. The group claims it has previously represented teens in similar situations and won their cases. “These girls are in a bind, particularly in a situation where their parents are forcing them to do something they don’t want to do,” Casey said. “Regardless of the [situation], that’s her parents and she should expect support from them in this situation, not resentment and anger.” When the pregnancy was confirmed, the teenager’s father allegedly “became extremely angry, was insistent that R.E.K. was not having the baby, and that the decision was not up to her, according to the lawsuit. He stated he was going to take her to have an abortion and that the decision was his, end of story.” The teen claims that her parents have taken away her phone, pulled her out of school, forced her to get two jobs and taken away her car in an effort to “make her miserable so that she would give in to the coercion and have the abortion,” the lawsuit said. Casey said there is evidence of threats, including text messages from the girl’s father. The lawsuit also claims the girl’s mother suggested slipping her an “abortion pill.” The nine-week pregnant girl said that she and the baby’s father wish to have the child and parent it. The lawsuit is asking that the court declare that the teen has a right, under federal constitutional law, to make her own decisions about the baby. It also asks for a temporary restraining order from the parents. The parents did not respond to request for comment today from ABC News, but the teen’s father told ABC News’ Houston affiliate KTRK that the allegations are false. He told KTRK he thinks someone put his daughter up to the lawsuit. The parents, who have different addresses, have 20 days to file a response. Discuss…

ChitChatter: Solange Reveals Son Julez Already Has Rap Aspirations And Her Plot To Return South

Julez got BARS… and Solo is saying so long to BK! Solange Knowles Interview With Entertainment Weekly King Bey’s baby sis Solange had a revealing interview with Entertainment Weekly recently, peep the excerpt below: On a recent Tuesday at the Museum of Moden Art’s branch at P.S.1 in Queens, Solange stood in front of an image of the African-American activist Angela Davis. “I dressed up as her for Halloween last year,” she says, snapping a picture with her iPhone in the empty museum (she had the place to herself thanks to one of her curator friends). “I just threw it together at the last minute. That’s kind of how I usually do things.” Indeed, as Knowles has demonstrated throughout her dozen-plus years in show business, she’s nothing if not resourceful. For the younger sister of Beyoncé — that pop juggernaut for whom Super Bowls and presidential inaugurations are routine — an afternoon at a museum without crowds, guards, and pesky no-photo policies is her ideal level of excitement these days. After spending nearly half her life on the major-label payroll, Knowles moved from L.A. to Brooklyn, where her never-quite-burgeoning pop career evolved into something more interesting — and in the process, she became a nouveau-bohemian star in indie-rock and fashion circles alike. True, her sleek new EP released on the boutique label Terrible Records, is her Solange 2.0 calling card. Produced by Blood Orange mastermind Dev Hynes and powered by its captivating lead single “Losing You,” the album has won her accolades and a new fan base — including Girls creator and star Lena Dunham, who used the song in the show’s season 2 premiere. Knowles, it seems, has found her element. Her liberated new look stems from the fact that she paid for all of it — the EP, the video, even her website — out of pocket. “Every decision that’s been made behind this record, from the exact color of the album’s artwork to what record stores we put the record in, has been made by me,” she says. Her son Julez, 8, is getting in on the act too: He’s already taking a stab at becoming a rapper. While Knowles is “terrified” that her son wants to enter the family business, she still encourages him to follow his passions. In fact, she keeps pictures of his handwritten verses on her phone, one of which she offered to read aloud: “You don’t know how to rap/You’re so fat, like a rat in a mousetrap/You got a pen?/No? I didn’t think so/I’ll get you one if you know how to flow, yo/You got a pocket? I didn’t think so/Because you’re like an armadillo in the road, bro/Have you seen the movie hunger games?” And then it stops there. After the museum, Solange heads to Williamsburg, the bustling hipster mecca of Brooklyn, for rehearsal. But first she picks up an order from local comfort-food joint Pies ‘N’ Thighs: fried catfish, mac and cheese, greens, lemonade, and pecan pie. “I’m such a Southern girl,” she says almost apologetically. “I plan on moving back in the next year or two, when it makes sense for Julez schoolwise. I think either Austin or New Orleans. Somewhere warm, for sure.” We’re kinda shocked to that Solange is planning to leave Brooklyn but we could definitely see her and Julez being happy in Austin or New Orleans. Is anybody surprised that her kid wants to go into the family business ? Cuz we’re not! Photo Credit: Ruven Afanador for Entertainment Weekly

Booty Call: Sri Lankan Prisoner Hides Smuggled Cell Phone In Butt, Caught After Phone Starts Ringing

Can you hear me now? Prisoner Hides Smuggled Cell Phone In Butt Via Raw Story : A Sri Lankan prisoner who tried to hide his mobile phone during a search of his cell was caught out when guards heard ring tones from his rear-end, a hospital official said on Friday. The 58-year-old convict had to be admitted to the national hospital in Colombo where doctors later retrieved the handset from his rectum. “The man had concealed the phone inside his person,” the official said, asking not to be named. “Unfortunately for him, the phone rang at the wrong time and guards knew he had a phone at the wrong end.” He said the man was in hospital for two days but was discharged and sent back to prison Friday after the mobile phone was taken out. The prisoner is serving a 10-year term for theft at the high security Welikada jail in the capital. He should have changed the ringtone to a fart sound.
