Lady Gaga To Help Drop New Year’s Ball In Times Square

Mother Monster was named Mayor Bloomberg’s special guest for the annual celebration. By James Montgomery Lady Gaga Photo: Joe Scarnici/ WireImage Back in May, ahead of the release of her Born This Way album, Lady Gaga described her hometown of New York City as her “husband,” and now, she’s been tapped to help her spouse ring in the New Year in the most traditional of ways: by dropping the ball in Times Square. Yes, according to The New York Post, Mayor Michael Bloomberg has named Gaga as his special guest at the City’s annual New Year’s Eve celebration, where she’ll ceremoniously push a Waterford Crystal button at 11:59 p.m., officially beginning the famed crystal ball’s descent over the raucous Times Square crowd. Shortly after the official announcement was made, Gaga took to her Twitter account to express her excitement, writing “I’m so looking forward to … dropping the Ball with Mayor Bloomberg! What an honor as a New Yorker!” Each year, Bloomberg chooses a guest to drop the ball and help usher in the New Year … though, to date, Gaga is his most, uh, unique pick: previous honorary button-mashers have included Bill and Hillary Clinton, Colin Powell, Muhammad Ali and Rudy Giuliani. Of course, dropping the Times Square Ball — which this year is bedazzled with 2,688 Waterford Crystal triangles and carries the theme of “Let There Be Friendship” — isn’t Gaga’s only New Year’s Eve gig. She’ll also perform at two NYE celebrations: the 40th annual “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” and, of course, the Japanese program “Kohaku Uta Gassen.” MTV will also be throwing a New Year’s Eve party of its own: “NYE in NYC 2010,” a performance-packed special featuring Demi Lovato, Mac Miller, Selena Gomez, J. Cole, Jason Der

Its probably safe to say that 09/10/11 was the BEST DAY OF MY LIFE. I’ve been trying to meet Justin for years and I finally got my chance when he came to Brazil with the My World Tour. Of course, I flew to São Paulo to go to his concert. But before that, I joined BieberFever.com’s Meet & Greet competition. Basically what I had to do was promote BieberFever.com. I gave it a shot and made my video, but I never thought I had a chance to win. I submitted my video, and when I was in the airport I received their e-mail saying I won. Words can’t describe how I felt at that moment.  We went to São Paulo and I went to get my Meet & Greet bracelets so I could meet him. In the e-mail they sent me, they told me there would be bracelets at the box-office. Turns out, it wasn’t in the box-office, but in one of the stadium gates. I didn’t know that, so I went to every single box-office, and no one knew what I was talking about. I talked to Justin’s team, to people organizing the concert… (no joke, I talked to about 50 different people) and no one helped me. Finally, I found a lady that was organizing the Meet & Greet, and she said she was going to look if my name was in the list. It started to rain so much and she took really long. My friends and I waited about an hour, soaking in the rain, for her to come back. I was almost losing all my hope when I finally saw her. She told me the Meet & Greet had finished, but she gave me 5 free tickets to go to the second São Paulo concert again and go to the Meet & Greet then.  So, I went again. I was in the line waiting to meet him (I even met Cobra Starship) and it was about 4:45 pm when I entered the same room Justin Drew Bieber was in. Usually they take photos with groups of 5 and the lady wanted me to take a picture with random people I don’t know. I refused and I took so long to enter the room, that by the time I was in the room, Justin had finished taking the photo with the other girls. So there I was. My chin dropped, and I froze. Justin looked at me and gave a half-smile, and I was soo nervous. I went to him and put my arms around his waist and he put his arm on my shoulder. I couldn’t feel my legs, I was almost fainting. My other friends that I took with me finally entered the room to take the picture. We took the picture, and I had no idea what to do after, so I just stood there. My friend asked him for a hug, so everyone entered and we all kind of had a group hug.  It was the best moment of my life. I even think I stepped on his foot! Haha, way to be remembered. Then, Kenny told us to leave because there were more people in the line. I watched his concert for the second time, but this time it was completely different. I thought that I would NEVER meet Justin, but he taught me to Never Say Never and to follow my dreams, so I did. I learned that no matter how down you can be, you can be losing your hope, but destiny will find its way. I wake up everyday with a smile on my face because now I know that I met my inspiration, the one person that keeps me going every single day. I met Justin Drew Bieber. Being a Belieber taught me so many things. I don’t doubt anything anymore, so wherever you are, no matter how low the chances are, if you dream big and follow your dreams, you’ll get there. NEVER SAY NEVER!   -@moniquegentz  Read the original post: Its probably safe to say that 09/10/11 was the BEST DAY OF MY…

On August 25, 2010 I got to meet my idol. It was a really nice day and I had tickets to go see Justin with my best friend Julia. We were so excited and we thought we were going to meet him because my mom’s friend knows his lighting manager but we weren’t sure. When we got to the Times Union Center we met him with the manager and he told us that he doesn’t know if he could get us in. We all had to pay $50 to get the tickets and meet & greet in order for him to  guaranty  us in. Well from our seats that were really bad, we ended up having 6th row, and got to meet Justin! When we were waiting in line to meet him, we were talking to a bunch of other girls that got to meet him! It was really nice to talk to all of these different Beliebers. My friend and I were about 7th in line and when Kenny opened the certain for us to walk in, we almost passed out. We saw Justin and he asked us how we were doing. We were chewing gum at the time and I guess that when we answered him, he smelt our breathe because he then asked us if we had any gum. I did not have a piece because I had given it to Julia (my friend) right before we met him and I felt so bad but I said no. Justin put his head down then told us to smile for the camera! He put his arms around both of us and said SMILE! It was an opportunity I will NEVER, forget. When we left the certain, me and my friend were freaking out. Everyone that was waiting in line at the venue saw us freaking out and realized that we had just met JUSTIN BIEBER. All me and Julia did was smell our shoulders cause they smelt just like Justin. Thank you Justin for an amazing night, and even though you weren’t feeling the greatest, you still did an amazing job. You taught me to follow my dreams and to never say never. I hope to see you again next year. The rest is here: On August 25, 2010 I got to meet my idol. It was a really nice…
