My name is Ravynne and I am on the left of Justin in my picture. In February 2013, I was surprised with Believe Tour tickets for June 24th by my mentor! I was so excited and June could not come any slower. I decided to invite my best friend, Crystal, who is on the left, and is also a belieber. The week before the concert, my mentor told me that my tickets also included the meet and greet! I was so excited and I couldn’t wait any longer. Then June 24th finally came and we went to the Staples Center early just in case anything happened. We waited in the meet and greet line for about two hours and just before we entered the entrance to the backstage where Justin was, one of the security guards grabbed my wrist and asked, “Where did you get these from? These are fake!” I thought she was kidding so I was like, “Oh my mentor got them from me.” I was laughing and grinning and not really listening to her because come on, I was about to meet Justin! She then cut off my meet and greet wristband and pushed us aside! I was so heartbroken, I didn’t know what to do! I then went to my seat and e-mailed my mentor asking if there a way to prove that my wristbands were real. On the way home I received an e-mail back from my mentor that said that there was a huge mix up and that Scooter Braun would like to have us back as guests tomorrow! I COULDN’T BELIEVE MY EYES! We woke up the next day and got to the Staples Center early again, but only this time things happened differently. Melissa Victor called me and asked where my friend and I were so that she can come and get us! She came and took us backstage where we saw Dan Kanter and we had a nice conversation with Melissa. Then it all happened. Justin was behind a black curtain and I was so close to finally meeting him. I walked in and there he was! He looked like an angel and I was so starstruck. He put his hand around my waist and we took the picture. He then said, “Thank you so much for coming,” and rubbed my arm. It was time for us to go to our seats and I was the happiest girl in the world. The concert was amazing and I was watching it as though I never saw it before about 24 hours prior. I would have never even imagined going to one of Justin’s concerts, let alone meeting him a year ago. This experience has taught me to never say never and to believe because everything is possible! I love you Justin! Read the rest here: My name is Ravynne and I am on the left of Justin in my picture….

We’re very sorry, Kat Dennings. But Justin Bieber is at it again. Despite the objections of this 2 Broke Girls star, the singer posted a pair of shirtless selfies over the weekend to his Instagram account. The first was captioned “sun and relaxation” and deleted for some reason, but fortunately it was soon replace with the image on the right, which depicts the Biebs in all his ray-soaked glory. Notice the ink on his left arm? Earlier in the week, Bieber unveiled his latest tattoo, a large rose which now sits above an owl and below a tiger. What do you think of the new ink? We’ll give you a few moments to untie your tongue and wipe the saliva off your chin after starting at the picture above. Take your time. We understand.
My name is Kristen, I am 17 years old, and I met Justin June 26, 2013 in San Jose. Where do I begin? I have been waiting so long to meet Justin and I eventually thought about giving up. I went to his show in Oakland, CA on October 6th, 2012 and I had such a blast but the only thing I had hoped for was the chance to meet him. I knew he wouldn’t be coming back around where I leave at least for another year so it was disappointing. But then a few days after that concert HE ADDED MORE TOUR DATES and one of them was San Jose! I was so excited, I was checking every day to get tickets. One of my best friends was also planning to go with me and we wanted to get meet and greets so we were trying everyday. Tickets sold out so fast that we thought we’d never get a chance. We checked other websites for meet and greets and they were all being sold for over $2,000. Being 17 years old, we did not have that kind of money, so I got a job . I saved up every single pay check I got and we would waited till both of us had enough money. After waiting 4 months to have enough money, we finally bought our tickets. We could not believe it. We we’re actually going to meet the guy who’s taught us to believe in our dreams. The day was finally here. We prepped for this ALL DAY. When we arrived at the arena, we waited in line to get our passes and wristbands. It didn’t feel real. When one of Justin’s workers escorted our group backstage, I immediately got butterflies. It finally hit me that I was about to meet him. We waited for Justin to come out and when he did, everyone started fixing their hair and everything! It was my turn to meet Justin. I walked in by myself and Justin was smiling at me and all I could say was Hi. He said, ” Hi sweetheart ” and then he put his arm around me for the picture. After the picture he rubbed my back and said, ” Thank you, Sweetie ” and I walked out. I was sad I didn’t have more time to talk to him but what I got was all I needed. As soon as I walked out, I started crying. I wanted to go back in and just hug him. After I met him I walked to my seat in the 3rd row and waited for Justin to come out. I had the time of my life! Justin was performing less than 5 feet from me, it was amazing. My favorite part was when he sang ‘Boyfriend’ shirtless.. ahhh. I am so thankful for getting the chance to meet my idol. I wish I could have that moment all over again. #Blessed Visit link: My name is Kristen, I am 17 years old, and I met Justin June 26,…
She’s never taken an umbrella to a camerarman. But Miley Cyrus has gotten an extreme haircut. And that’s just one thing this singer has in common with Britney Spears, as Cyrus gushes over her famous friend in a new interview with Huffington Post UK. “Everyone goes through a time in their life where they don’t want their picture taken everyday,” the 20-year-old said of Spears . “She just never had that time where she could say, ‘I’m going through something right now and need to shut down.’ I also don’t have that, so it’s good to have that one person in my life who gets it.” In what way has Britney been a role model for Miley? Explains the latter: “I just think it’s never blaming you or making you feel like ‘you’ve got all this going for you,’ it’s like she knows. Sometimes life just steps in the middle of your career the way life always does for anyone – it’s just ours is a little more 24/7.” Miley has been more outspoken than usual this week. She espoused the use of marijuana . She outlined her views on gay marriage . In June, Spears Tweeted at Cyrus: “Loving your new video for #WeCantStop! Maybe you can teach me how to twerk sometime LOL.” Miley then replied with excitement: “We could twerk it out in exchange for u teaching me da moves 2 ‘slave for you’ (I’ve been practicing for the past 10 years.”
Dear Bossip , I have been dealing with this guy that I met about two years ago. He was my manager at my job. We began dating (which was against policy) and fast forward a few months and I’m pregnant. He was a pretty decent guy. That’s when things started to change. He started to go missing on several different occasions for days at a time. I quit my job because I got pregnant and found a new job. He told me to take it because I made more money even though it was far out and I don’t drive. He ended up going back on his promise to make sure I got to work so I had to quit. I couldn’t stand the two-hour bus ride in the heat every day. I was out of a job, pregnant, lacking the knowledge of my boyfriend’s whereabouts and not to mention extremely emotional. I was six months pregnant walking up and down the street looking for him. I didn’t want anything but to be held. Calling his phone all hours to see if he would answer. Dealing with his baby mamma drama that he couldn’t seem to get under control. All I wanted was for him to be with me and love me as much as I loved him. And for him to just acknowledge the fact that I was pregnant and excited about that he should be too. I go to his apartment and seen his other baby mother’s car out front and got the idea. When I would confront him he would basically act like he didn’t know anything. Fast forward and I’m in the hospital. After I just had my baby I’m wondering if the drama with his baby mother is still going on. They’re texting in the middle of the night while we’re at the hospital. He’s leaving the hospital to go talk to her. Blah. Blah. Blah. I felt alone. This man broke my heart. I loved him. But he didn’t love me. Fast forward to now. My son is six months. His dad wants to always be around me. Twenty-four seven. He wants a relationship. Do everything for me. Take vacations. Buy me things. But I don’t want any of it. He put me through so much pain. He is as sweet as he could be now. Crying telling me how he has changed. Blah. Blah. Blah. I feel bad for him sometimes, but then I think, why should I? I gave him my whole heart and he didn’t want it. So, now I’m taking my -ish back. But why do I feel so bad? I just want to let him go and all the pain he has caused me. All the nights I sat up crying over him are all a thing of the past. The love I have for him is gone. But, he just won’t let me let him go. Everyone criticizes me for not wanting to be with him now. Even my own mother. Saying things like, ‘You’re going to need him one day.” But, in my mind I’m thinking, why? When I needed him he wasn’t there so just because he cares now, I should too? So my question for you is, am I right for not caring? For wanting to date other men? For wanting my own happiness that doesn’t involve him? I’m tired of the lies, hurt, and baby mama drama. I just want to be free. – Wanting Happiness Dear Ms. Wanting Happiness , Ma’am, I’m truly sorry for the pain, agony, and hurt you endured with this man who led you to believe one thing and did another. He basically left you pregnant, walking the streets looking for him, encouraging you to leave the job for one that is further out, but did not help you with transportation and you had to quit. Then, on top of all this he filled your head with lies, and he was untrustworthy. He continued an ongoing relationship with his other baby momma, and while you’re in the hospital giving birth to his child, he is texting and calling his other baby momma. WOW! He is trifling, low-down, and a scum bag of a human. So, no, you don’t owe him anything. You don’t have to do anything but go to court and have him put on child support and make sure he is actively involved with his child’s life. You don’t have to engage with him other than making sure he abides by the visitation you set up with him about his child, and being an active father-figure to his child. It’s unfortunate you don’t have support from family and friends. They want you to continue to endure the drama and stress not knowing all the drama and stress he put you through. Just because he’s recently coming back around and saying he’s sorry, and that he’s changed, and bringing gifts and wants to be a family. Don’t let your family and friends bully you into going back into an unhealthy and unwanted relationship that you know is no good for you. They only see what’s happening on the outside. They did not endure or experience what he put you through. So, don’t fall for the, “Girl, he is a good man. He wants you. He’s apologizing. And, you’re going to need him one day.” Uhm, actually, you are the good woman, and he needs you because his other baby momma put his a** out and doesn’t want anything to do with him. That’s the real tea! He has nowhere else to go, so he is going to turn to the one place and the one person who wanted him. That’s you! He doesn’t realize the collateral damage he did when he put you through all that bull-ish. He thinks he can just show up and say, “I’m sorry. I want you and need you.” And, you will welcome him with open arms. No ma’am! Not tuhday! Girl, that will last all of about a good month and he will back to doing his old antics and his old behaviors. Trust! Don’t go back and don’t look back. Continue moving forward. Remember this one thing, never make someone a priority in your life when you are an option in theirs. Don’t allow yourself to be someone’s doormat. You’re too good for that. And, your emotions and feelings matter. They are not disposable or arbitrary. So, all that he’s done to you shows you the type of person he is. And, as you’re moving forward keep this in the forefront of your thoughts: Are you supposed to forget what he did, how he made you feel, and the days and nights he disappeared. Are you supposed to forget walking in the heat pregnant looking for him. You are supposed to forget taking the two-hour bus ride to a job he said he would provide you with transportation. Are you supposed to forget his baby momma staying at his apartment when you went looking for him and discovered her car. Are you supposed to forget he was texting and calling his baby momma while in you were in the hospital, and right after you gave birth to his child. Are you supposed to forget the heartache, the pain, the emotional, mental, and physical stress you caused you. So, continue to move forward without him. Replenish yourself spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically. You went above and beyond for a man who did not go above and beyond for you. It’s time to focus on you and your child. Go back to school, empower yourself, and surround yourself with positive affirming people who will continue to encourage and uplift you. You don’t need anyone or anybody in your life dragging you down, making you feel guilty, or not encouraging and supporting you. Get rid of the excess baggage. Then, put him on child support through the courts. Set a visitation plan, and let him know that the only communication you wish to engage in are around your child. Do not call about your private life, getting back together, and hearing how sorry he is or any of apologies. You get it, he’s sorry. Literally. Forgive him and thank him for the valuable lesson he taught you, and you’re going to use the lesson to do better, be better, and stay better. – Terrance Dean Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think?

Topshop told her to go to hell and instead RihRih will be laughing on her way to the bank! Via MailOnline reports : Pop superstar Rihanna today won a High Court fight with clothing giant Topshop over a T-shirt they sold with her face on it in a case that could be worth £3million. The singer claimed the ‘unendorsed’ white T-shirt with a photograph of her in a bra top may have damaged her image because fans could have thought it was genuine merchandise. The Barbadian star, who sued under her real name Robyn Rihanna Fenty, claimed she is entitled to damages from Arcadia Group Brands Ltd, which operates Topshop, over the unauthorized use of her picture. Topshop disputed her claim but Judge Mr Justice Birss ruled in her favor today after a hearing in London, but will decide on damages at a later date. Justice Birss said Topshop’s sale of a Rihanna T-shirt at the center of the dispute was an act of ‘passing off’. But he said the ‘mere sale’ of a T-shirt bearing the image of a famous person was not necessarily an act of ‘passing off’. ‘A substantial number of purchasers are likely to (have been) deceived into buying (the) T-shirt because of a false belief that it has been authorized by Rihanna,’ he said. The judge said that was damaging to her ‘goodwill’ and represented a loss of control over her reputation in the ‘fashion sphere’. He said it was for the singer not Topshop to choose what garments the public thought were endorsed by her. The superstar’s team asked the high street clothing chain run by billionaire Sir Phillip Green to stop selling them. The legal threat came despite the What’s My Name singer having dined with Sir Philip and music mogul Simon Cowell while on her Christmas break to Barbados in 2010 . The star tweeted about the Boxing Day meal they had together, saying: ‘Just had dinner w/ Simon Cowell Philip Green @ Sandy Lane! Great night!’ She has also spent time with Sir Philip’s daughter Chloe while holidaying at the same time in the Caribbean two years ago. It was even rumored she might follow in the footsteps of Kate Moss and design a range for Topshop, but the two parties ended up in court. Last year Topshop released a T-shirt featuring a picture of Rihanna from her ‘We Found Love’ music video, which sold out quickly afterwards. This month the court heard that while the singer was claiming the top blighted her image it had not stopped her entourage contacting Topshop to ask for clothes for Rihanna half a dozen times since the lawsuit was launched, the retailer’s lawyers said. A barrister at London’s High Court claimed Rihanna’s representatives had asked Topshop for products for the singer on ’10 recent occasions’, and said her ‘shopping habits’ were testament to the retailer’s own considerable reputation. Of those 10 occasions, six came after Rihanna launched proceedings against Topshop, said Geoffrey Hobbs QC. The T-shirt in question is printed with a snap of the star wearing a bra top, which she says was ‘very similar’ to images used on one of her album covers. She claimed sales of the shirt amounted to ‘passing off’ and may have led to her reputation being tarnished with her fans, had they bought the garment thinking it was ‘genuine’ endorsed merchandise with ‘an emotional connection to their heroine’. Lawyers for Topshop maintained the retailer did nothing wrong, and accused the pop star of making an unjustifiable bid to establish a ‘free standing image right’ over use of her picture in the UK. Mr Justice Birss, sitting at London’s High Court, heard that Topshop bought a license to use the image on the T-shirt from the photographer who took it, during the video shoot for Rihanna’s single We Found Love which was filmed in Belfast and Bangor, Northern Ireland, in November 2011. However the 25-year-old singer protested that they had short changed her and her fans when the T-shirt went on sale. Congratulations RihRih! Props on making “the man” pay for trying to use your image without your permission. FameFlynetPictures/Tumblr
