My name is Anna and I literally cannot believe I was given the…

My name is Anna and I literally cannot believe I was given the opportunity to meet Justin, go to the Believe Tour or the fact that I’m about to say this.. Here’s My Bieber Experience: Tickets went on sale when I was in 7th grade, but sadly my mom couldn’t get meet and greets or tickets because they sold out too quickly, or so I thought . About a month later, I was at my 7th grade awards ceremony and at the end, all the students went to their parents. I could not believe what I was told. My sister was telling me how sorry she was for not being able to get me tickets, but then she smiled and said, “I hope front row seats and meet and greets for the Atlanta show is enough though.” I completely FREAKED.  Let’s just say I was very well known by most of the school for crying and screaming over Justin Bieber. On January 23, 2013, it was finally the day I would be meeting my idol, the one person whom I can look up to, and the one who I know will always be there and claim me as his belieber. While in the M&G line, we went down 4-5 sets of stairs until finally we entered this gymnasium. Our line was the first one in there but soon the gymnasium was FILLED with groups of people eager to meet Justin. After 30 minutes of waiting, a raffle, and bunches of announcements from our little instructor guy, Ryan, it was time. The line began moving and I immediately got nervous. Soon, I was at the front, and I was the next person to be pulled in to meet Justin. As soon as I walked into the curtain I spotted Lil Twist, which wasn’t a very big surprise . Then, I was turned to my left my a security guard and there he was.. Justin Bieber. He looked so perfect, like an angel just standing there. I was soon pushed over to him and that’s when it all happened fast. Justin smiled at me and said, “Hey Baby, how are you?” I was in total shock and me being the little socially awkward person I am I quickly said, “Hi!” I turned around for the picture. Knowing I looked a complete mess I quickly said, “Hold on, I need to wipe my tears” I was laughing though. Justin looked over at me and said, “Yeah, hold up let her wipe her tears,”  and after the picture Justin pulled me into one last tight hug and I told him I loved him so much. He looked me in the eyes and said “I love you too.” I never thought that Justin would ever say those words to me. It was completely shocking. After calming down, through the first two opening acts, the countdown appeared. Me and the two girls by me, Nisa and Hannah, all freaked out. One last thing that was extraordinary happened while Justin was on stage, he made eye contact with me. That day was truly the best day of my life and it still seems so unreal. This shows all of you out there who think you will never meet Justin.. NEVER SAY NEVER! Anything could happen. Thank you so much for reading this and thank you so much to Justin for being such an amazing idol and role model. -Anna (@AnnaKinzxx)  More here: My name is Anna and I literally cannot believe I was given the…

My name is Sheila, and I have been in love with Justin Bieber…

My name is Sheila, and I have been in love with Justin Bieber for the last couple years. My parents bought me tickets to the Stevie Wonder House Full of Toys concert in LA December of 2011. We live in Florida and we flew out there just to see him . We had 4th row seats which were great, but just when I got to the stage and Justin was touching everyone’s hands, the security people pushed me back and I never got to touch him. The concert was great but I was disappointed! Then last month (December 2012), my parents surprised me again with tickets to the Jingle Ball in Fairfax, Virginia  where Justin was performing. These were very expensive Meet and Greet tickets! We had to fly up to Washington, DC for this concert as well, but we didn’t care because I was finally going to get to meet Justin! I have never been so excited in my life! The tickets were advertised by the Alliance for Lupus Research as part of their fundraiser, and said that besides the floor tickets, we would get to go to a sound check party with everyone, and then get to meet Justin and get pictures taken with him. A few days ahead of time, we were told that the sound check party wasn’t happening and the radio station people said that instead they would give us meet and greets with another performer as well. Even though I didn’t really care about that, we took the meet and greet with Kesha. We were told to be at one of the portals at a certain time, and my brother went with me. We were then told that we were not to take pictures of our own, couldn’t talk to Justin or anything. After hearing that I was really upset, but thought at least I’d get to hug him and get my picture taken with him (they had their own photographer). Just as we were lined up and ready to go in, they told us we had to go in in groups of 5 or 6 and just pulled a bunch of us and sent us in, pushed us together, and snapped the picture. Justin was in the middle and I didn’t even get near him, didn’t get to touch him or talk to him or even really see him. Before I knew it, we were pushed out of the room and that was the end of it! I have never been more disappointed and upset in my life! I have tried so hard just to get close to him for a minute and thought this was finally my chance, but NO. I still love Justin and went to his concert in Orlando, where I live. My sister bought floor tickets for us and they were great seats, but again, security kept me from getting close to the stage, even though others were given wristbands and allowed to go up and stand right beside the stage! I’m not one of those girls that acts insane, screams, cries and runs after his bus, but I really just wanted a chance to meet him or be noticed. I wish I could say that my Bieber experiences were great but they haven’t been yet. I’m also not saying it’s Justin’s fault – I’m sure he doesn’t have anything to do with who sets up these things, but I would just love to actually have a good experience just ONCE! -Sheila (far right) Read the original: My name is Sheila, and I have been in love with Justin Bieber…

More than 10,000 were on hand as Henri 2, Paw de Deux (below) was crowned the winner of the people’s choice award, a.k.a. The Golden Kitty!

Carrie Reichert: Prince Harry Naked Party Girl Speaks on Sexy, Friendly, Delirious Time

Carrie Reichert, a 32-year-old British-born San Diego resident, is the first to speak out in an interview about Prince Harry’s wasted and naked night in Vegas. Reichert partied in the Wynn’s VIP Las Vegas hotel suite on the night of the now-infamous Prince Harry naked billiards game, she revealed to the Mirror . She even made out with the royal for a bit. “It wasn’t romantic, just fun,” Carrie Reichert said. “It was a drunken fumble. He was a gentleman, but he was so wasted. The alcohol affected him.” She was chosen with nine other young women to join the party before the third in line to the throne, 27, personally picked her to be alone with him. “We kissed, he was naked at the time, and pretty open,” she is reported as saying. “I was born in England and I’m pretty familiar with the royal family, but I didn’t know the guys he was with … I was the only one who knew who he was.” “Everybody else was like, ‘Who’s that?’ And I’m like, ‘Oh my God, that’s Prince Harry.'” She says earlier, a member of the prince’s entourage approached her to see if she’d like to join the penthouse party. “I’m not going to pass up an opportunity to party with Prince Harry,” she recalls as her response to the “random” invitation. There was no security check at the already-raging party. “Harry was already undressed. It was just crazy. He looked actually delirious. There was a pool table and he was playing air guitar with pool sticks,” she said. “He was screaming, ‘Somebody get me a glove! I’m going to do a Michael Jackson impression!'” The nude Prince Harry was “random naked hugs” and being “really friendly.” As for the woman seen clutching and being clutched by Harry in the photos, she “was kind of shy and very timid,” according to Carrie Reichert. “I didn’t catch her name as we were all drinking, but she was very slender, really cute and pretty, kind of shy and she also seemed really drunk.” The scene “was not like an orgy going on, it was just sexy naked. It was like almost a game. He was trying to get everybody to get naked.” “That was the whole point of him being naked.” Of her own interaction with Prince Harry, Reichert said, “We kissed for 15 to 20 minutes. … We kissed again and he said, ‘That was great.'” “He told me I was beautiful and gorgeous, which was sweet … then we kind of nonchalantly returned to the party and kept drinking.” Ouch. Cressida Bonas is not going to enjoy reading this account one bit. Follow this link for some photos of Carrie , then tell us: Prince Harry …

Stevie Wonder Apologizes for Controversial Statement on Gays

Stevie Wonder has issued an apology and an explanation following comments made in an interview with The Guardian . Asked about the admission by Frank Ocean that he’s been in a same-sex relationship, the legendary musician took his foot, placed it directly in his mouth and replied: “I think honestly, some people who think they’re gay, they’re confused. People can misconstrue closeness for love. People can feel connected, they bond. I’m not saying all [gay people are confused]. Some people have a desire to be with the same sex. But that’s them.” Stevie Wonder has just called to say he’s sorry. An unusual, confusing answer – and one Wonder quickly attempted to clarify in a statement. He told The Advocate : “I’m sorry that my words about anyone feeling confused about their love were misunderstood. “No one has been a greater advocate for the power of love in this world than I; both in my life and in my music. Clearly, love is love, between a man and a woman, a woman and a man, a woman and a woman and a man and a man. What I’m not confused about is the world needing much more love, no hate, no prejudice, no bigotry and more unity, peace and understanding. Period.”
