On June 22nd 2013 I met my idol. My name is Nathalie-Rose, and…

On June 22nd 2013 I met my idol. My name is Nathalie-Rose, and I’m a fifteen year old girl from San Diego, California. When I found out I was going to meet Justin I couldn’t believe it. The countdown began and before I knew it, the day came. I met Justin with my nanny who I have had in my life since I was two years old. We do everything together, so she had to be the one to go with me. I spent the day getting ready and at about 4 p.m. I arrived at the arena. I was so nervous, I was practically sweating. We waited so long and finally they took us down where we were meeting him. It was in a storage room, under the arena, kind of like a basement. It was loud, since Mike Posner was already playing, and it was hot. While we were down there we were told how things were gonna work and we just waited. Since we had VIP, we could be in the photo ourselves so it was just us two. All of a sudden people were freaking out and I was thinking “What?” and I was looking behind me. My nanny nudged me, I turned around and right in front of me was Dan Kanter just walking through the line! I wasn’t expecting him to be right there so I let out a little squeal and Dan smiled at me! We waited a bit longer and then Justin arrived. I saw him through the curtain and it felt like my heart was gonna beat out of my chest. In just a few minutes I was actually gonna meet him! Then it was my turn. We went behind the curtain and I stood there in shock. I was unsure of when to go so I was just standing there and then his security said, “You can go” and I walked up to him. I forgot how to breathe and how to talk. I just stared at him, looked at his tattoos and thought to myself, “He’s so perfect.” I wrapped my arm around his waist and he had his arm around me. We took the picture and I handed him a letter and said “Will you read this?” He took it from me, smiled, and said, “Yeah.” I don’t know if he did but that’s okay. I started to get out of the way and my nanny said, “Wait stay there” so I could be in her picture too. She said “Hi!” to him and he said hi back super excitedly and cute. I don’t know how to explain it but it was so adorable. I wrapped my other arm around him for that picture. After it was taken, I was just looking at him again thinking of something so I said, “I love you” but he didn’t hear me cause it was so loud and I said it so quietly. Then we had to leave. I didn’t hug him but it’s okay. I met Justin! We went up into the arena and Hot Chelle Rae was about to come on. Then it was time for Justin. When the countdown reached zero and Justin was seconds from being on stage I felt like the happiest girl ever. Justin was amazing and during BAAB, he touched my hand. He is such an amazing performer and I love him so, so much. Honestly never give up. You will meet Justin someday. I’m so thankful for this day and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. -@drewsbliss Read more here: On June 22nd 2013 I met my idol. My name is Nathalie-Rose, and…

Josh Homme, Queens of the Stone Age Singer, RIPS Jay Z as "Kook" Who Can "Eff Off"

Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme is tearing into Jay Z regarding the rock group’s treatment at his Made in America festival this summer. Homme told CBC Radio 2’s Strombo Show that Jay is a “kook” who uses extreme security practices and only gave them champagne for a photo op. “He has his security frisking the bands on the way in,” Homme said. “I just told them, ‘If you open up my bag, I’m not playing, so I guess it’s up to you whether we are playing or not.’ The idea they frisked all my guys, means you’re in some different place.” “No-one has ever done that [to me].” It got worse from there, he says. “He also gave us some champagne and wanted us to take a photo with it,” the 40-year-old singer said. “And I thought that’s not a gift that is a marketing tool.” “So I destroyed it. Because I thought it was rude overall.” “And you shouldn’t frisk my guys, you should fuck off.” Jay Z had yet to address Homme’s comments, but the rocker’s remarks stand out because much of the entertainment community is wary of criticizing him . If the allegations are true, though, it would seem that Beyonce’s better half, who has reached full-on mogul status of late, has gotten too corporate.

Blood On The Money: Human Rights Group Blasts Yeezy For $3 Million Performance At Dictator’s Wedding

Kanye is under fire for entertaining war criminals … Kanye West Under Fire By Human Rights Groups Via RadarOnline reports: The guy who said “George Bush doesn’t care about black people” doesn’t seem to care about the Kazakhs. Kanye West, according to reports, took home $3 million to perform at the wedding of Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev’s grandson this past Saturday at Almaty’s Hotel Royal Tulip, drawing criticism for entertaining leaders of a republic infamous for its’ human rights violations. Human Rights Watch director David Mepham said the republic’s “serious and deteriorating human rights situation” “credible allegations of torture, the imprisonment of government critics, tight controls over the media and freedom of expression and association, limits in religious freedom, and continuing violation of workers’ rights”. Compounding matters, Amnesty International claims that “torture remains commonplace in Kazakhstan and the torturers are allowed to go free.” “The authorities of Kazakhstan have failed to hold the security forces accountable and to carry out an independent investigation into their abuses,” the organization said. “It is time to change a culture that always ranks security above human rights. Reform is long overdue and real changes should be introduced as a matter of urgency.” Jennifer Lopez came under similar fire earlier this summer, for performing for Turkmenistan leader Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov for a $1.5 million fee. These people live in their own “bubble world” where current events have no place. Chances are Kanye had no clue who this guy was or what he represents but with an offer of a couple of million dollars he was on his way. Should Yeezy return the money? Continue reading

My name is Savannah and I met my idol on July 12th, 2013 in…

My name is Savannah and I met my idol on July 12th, 2013 in Columbus, Ohio. To be honest I never thought I would be in this position to be able to write a Bieber experience, but here it goes. In 2012, when the Pencils of Promise contest to meet Justin was introduced, I decided I would make it my goal to meet Justin in 2013. Once the second leg of the tour was announced I decided I would try so hard to get meet and greets. When pre-orders came around, we tried to buy them but they were sold out that day. On December 14th, they released more and that’s when I found out that I would meet Justin Bieber. Finally after all of the fangirling and being jealous of other people who met him, it would be my turn. I’ll never forget that day when my dad texted me during school telling me I got meet and greets, like how was I supposed to focus? Two hundred days later, it was my concert date. My two friends and I got ready in the morning, then we waited outside for several hours and while waiting. We saw Mike Posner on his tour bus, Hot Chelle Rae and Scrappy. We waited out there for about 4 hours but never saw Justin. Then we waited in the VIP pre-party which was fun because there were raffles and Kenny came in and saw us! It was awesome. When it was time for the meet and greets, I was so nervous but I managed not to cry until after. I watched him behind the curtains as he took several pictures and he smiled at me in line, it made me so happy. Then it was my turn and before the picture he said hi and smiled again. I didn’t even say hi, I just blurted out “I love you so much,” which he said back. I didn’t really get to hug him because it was literally 5 seconds, but during the picture I put my hand on his abs and he knew I was nervous so he rubbed my back during the picture, which helped so much. Then the security said, “Go, go” so I had to leave and Justin said, “Nice meeting you!” He was honestly so sweet and amazing. I felt so dizzy after the meet and greets and it was all a blur. You’re seriously in so much shock, but now I understand why people say when you hug him, you have the world in your arms. I never wanted to let go. After I left the meet and greet I started balling for like an hour. Then the concert went on which is the best show of your life. During ‘Believe’ Justin said, “Does anyone have a dream?” and thats when I lost it because he doesn’t realize that he made my dream come true. For anybody whose dream is to meet Justin Bieber, never give up because although it was so short, it was so worth it and it made me feel complete. This made my love for Justin even stronger and I don’t know what I would do without him. Justin, you are truly the best idol in the world. -@savannah_moser The rest is here: My name is Savannah and I met my idol on July 12th, 2013 in…

Really??? Utah Teenager Who Was Arrested For Plotting To Bomb His High School “Columbine Style” Is Now Running For Mayor

Today in “things a black teenager could never get away with” news…. Teenager Arrested For High School Bomb Plot Now Running For Mayor An 18-year-old Utah high school student who was arrested just last year after police discovered that he was planning to blow up his school and event visited the infamous Columbine High School to speak to administrators about their security measures is now in the running for mayor. via Huffington Post A Utah teenager arrested last year in a Columbine-inspired plot to blow up his high school will find out Tuesday if voters in the small city of Roy will take his run for mayor seriously. Joshua Kyler Hoggan, 18, says he recognizes what he did was wrong but insists that he never had any explosives or intent to bomb the school in early 2012 when he and an older classmate were arrested. Hoggan pleaded guilty in 2012 to possession of a weapon of mass destruction. Police said that Hoggan, then 16, and an older classmate at Roy High School spent months plotting an attack inspired by the 1999 Columbine shootings. Hoggan even visited with the Columbine principal about the shootings and security measures. Despite his disturbing not-so-distant past, the teen insists that residents should “trust him” to lead the city “because he’s human.” He says his six months in juvenile detention helped him deal with personal issues that plagued him then and says that he’s rehabilitated and ready to lead the city of about 37,000 people north of Salt Lake City. “People should trust me because I have proven one thing: That I am human,” Hoggan said in an email to The Associated Press. “I have made mistakes, just like the rest of us. We’ve all made mistakes in our pasts, and I am no exception.” He faces off in Tuesday’s primary against the current mayor, Joe Ritchie, and Councilman Willard Cragun. Most consider Hoggan a long shot to get through the nonpartisan primary, in which voters will choose two of the three to advance to the general election. Ritchie has been mayor for eight years and Cragun a councilman for six years. So…..teenage African-American men have a hard time doing everyday things like getting a job, getting into college or walking home from the store if somebody thinks they so much as LOOK like they’re up to no good….but this dude can run for office? Why is he still not locked up?? We don’t see this ending well. Shutterstock

Jemima Kirke: Kicked Out of Jay-Z "Picasso Baby" Shoot For Clinging to Rapper?

Jay-Z allegedly had back problems while filming a 10-minute performance video for “Picasso Baby” this week … because Jemima Kirke was hanging on it. According to sources at midtown’s Pace Gallery, he needed help from security to lighten the load as the Girls actress “clung to him like a cheap suit.” Jemima Kirke Kicked Out of Jay-Z Shoot? The shoot began innocently enough, with Hova serenading her, and the smiley actress keeping it together as she let down her hair and grinned away. A short time later, the video cut to Kirke ALL over Jay as he rapped to the crowd. “She was acting totally nuts!” said a witness who watched Kirke climb onto Jay’s back and hold on tightly as the hip-hop superstar “walked about.” “She kept jumping on his back like a little monkey.” Even though Beyonce’s spouse kept his cool and didn’t skip a beat, his security team saw Jemima Kirke going bananas and peeled her off the rap icon. “Someone was screaming ‘Get her off of him!’” says a spy. Kirke went away kicking and begging, “Let us finish!” as she was removed from the gallery. Called for comment about her alleged meltdown, Kirke reps said they knew nothing of it, while the video’s director called this “complete bull$h!t” … so who knows.

Lawsuits: Chris Breezy Threatens To Sue Girl Who Says He Put Them Paws On Her In Nightclub Incident

Chris isn’t taking this lying down. Chris Brown Threatens To Sue Accuser We think somebody pays people to mess with Chris. There’s just not this much trouble in the world put on one person. According to Hip Hollywood HipHollywood has exclusively learned that the allegations made by Deanna Gines, a fan who claimed Chris Brown intentionally shoved her to the ground at an OC nightclub, have already been proven to be false. A source close to Brown tells HipHollywood that Brown’s camp has “already proved the allegations to be false, and that the singer’s team plans to sue Gines and hold her accountable if she proceeds.” In a lawsuit filed in Orange County, Deanna claims she met Brown in the VIP section of Heat Ultra Lounge in Anaheim, California, and at some point the 24-year-old shoved her to the ground. The fan claims the alleged assault caused injuries to her left knee. Gines is seeking unspecified damages against Brown, and is alleging battery, assault and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Chris needs to upgrade his security so thirst buckets can’t get to him…his friends seem to give him the 2 Chainz treatment when it comes to looking out for him.

My name is Vita, I’m 16 years old and a Dutch belieber. (I’m the blonde girl on Justin’s right side). It was the 10th of April when I went to the Believe tour in Belgium with one of my friends. It was an amazing show and Justin’s singing was so flawless! The next day I went to Belgium again to see Justin but with another sweet belieber! We were sitting so close from the stage. I’m sure Justin looked us in the eyes a couple of times while performing. On the way home I couldn’t stop crying. The day after  it was the 12th of April. I was hanging out with my best friend when I got a call from Kimberley (@kimmybiebzz). I picked up the phone and she was screaming her head off. She said that she won a M&G for tomorrow’s show and she was going to take me with her,  I just couldn’t believe it! I started to scream and cry. I ran home and couldn’t stop hugging my mom while screaming that I was gonna meet him. The next day I woke up with the thought that I was meeting Justin! It was the 13th of April. I was feeling sick because of how nervous I was. My mom and I went to the venue and when we arrived, I ran to Kimberley and hugged her while crying and thanking her. Around 8:30 Justin’s bus arrived and we went backstage in line to meet him. Beliebers came back crying their eyes out because of how happy they were and I had to stop myself from starting to cry. After a few minutes, it was our turn! We had to take the picture with a group of 6. The curtain opened and there he was, my hero. After 5 long years I was finally meeting him. He looked even more flawless than I could ever have expected. The first thing I saw were his sexy muscles and his tattoos. We had to get ready for the picture so I laid my hand on his back on purpose. They took the picture and a few people already got carried away by the security within seconds. I was just standing there staring at Justin. He suddenly looked me in the eyes and I wanted to hug him so bad, I reached out my hand for him! He grabbed my hand and tried to pull me closer to him but the security was already trying to pull me away. Justin was still holding my hand and said the words I’ll never forget, “Love you sweetie.” After that he winked at me and did his sexy nod (aka smile). My jaw dropped even more and with that last smile, the security pulled my arm so Justin had to let go. I turned around while looking at Justin for the last time. “I love you so much Justin,” I said. I was crying and breathing heavily. Some random beliebers came to hug me and were crying with me because they were so happy for me. They kept saying things like, “You deserved it so much, I’m so happy for you.” Proves again that beliebers are the best fan base in the world. I went to my seats and couldn’t stop crying, I was almost hyperventilating. It was the best day of my life! Justin is the definition of perfection to me. He is the best idol in the whole world. I still don’t know how I can thank Justin and Kimberley enough! My biggest dream came true and I still can’t believe it. I’ll love him to death and I’ll remember this day forever. Believe in your dreams and never say never! – @jujuBieberstyle Read more here: My name is Vita, I’m 16 years old and a Dutch belieber. (I’m the…

Waking up on the 10th of April felt like a dream. I knew I was…

Waking up on the 10th of April felt like a dream. I knew I was going to meet Justin that day.  A radio station said that Justin was going to greet fans at his hotel at 1 p.m., so my friend and I took the train to his hotel. Sadly, it was a rumour and he didn’t show up. We stayed there until 2 and got caught up in the adrenaline. We completely lost track of time and there was no way we could go back home to get ready so we just went straight to the venue. While we were waiting, Dan Kanter showed up! He stayed with us for about 30 minutes and took pictures. We went up to Dan and asked if he could follow us on Twitter. He said, “You have to tweet me saying we met in Belgium, not just ‘I love Justin’” Eventually he gave me his phone and said, “Here, you can follow yourself.” He is so nice. When Justin arrived and the line started moving, it all felt so unreal. I was finally able to meet my hero after all those years. We were getting closer to the small room he was in and a bodyguard stood in front of me. I looked over his shoulder and saw Justin! I couldn’t believe how perfect he was. It was my time to meet Justin and the bodyguard said “Go, stand in front of the curtain” but I couldn’t even move, I got scared so he pushed me in the room. The room was super dark, every wall was black and Justin was all dressed in black. I felt so special. Even though Justin was wearing glasses, I could see his eyes through them and we made eye contact. He said “Hi” in the sweetest voice EVER. Somehow I could walk again and stood next to him. He put his arm on my back and the the picture was taken. I wanted to say, “Thank you for everything” but it barely came out of my mouth. Also, I got pushed out of there really quickly, it was literally like 3 seconds, but I enjoyed every moment. When I got out, I wanted to see Justin one more time, so I turned my head and I almost went out the wrong way. I started crying my eyes out, I felt so happy. There were a lot of girls disappointed because it was so short but I felt on top of the world. Standing next to Justin was an amazing feeling. I just felt satisfied, my biggest dream became a reality. We went to our seats and I had the best time at the concert. During ‘As Long As You Love Me,’ the entire crowd held up signs. This was the best night of my life. We also saw Justin on the 11th, I’m so glad he performed twice in Belgium. I used to read Bieber experiences from other beliebers and was determined to meet Justin too. I never stopped fighting for my dream because I knew it was worth it. I’m still hoping that one day I can hug Justin and finally thank him for changing my life. Until then, I won’t stop supporting him. He’ll always have a special place in my heart. -Louise (@kidrauhlyummy) Excerpt from: Waking up on the 10th of April felt like a dream. I knew I was…
