Britney Spears’ Las Vegas show was said to be selling poorly out of the gate, according to earlier reports. Well, those reports look to have been wrong. The pop star’s people are calling “Piece of Me” the “best-selling show in the history of Vegas” before she’s even debuted … and they may not be far off. Britney Spears Ticket Sales Sluggish? Britney Spears will be performing 48 shows a year for the next two years, for around $300,000 each. Seats are already available now for the first 16 shows. For those 16 concerts, a total of 73,600 tickets were for sale. The number of tickets actually sold? 70,242. In like a week. Of the 3,358 remaining, 2,887 are in nosebleed territory. Whether it’s the ” best-selling show in the history of Vegas” or not is hard to prove. But it almost doesn’t matter, because she is about to OWN Vegas. Planet Hollywood sources say they are thinking about adding shows if Britney’s game – again, all before she’s taken the stage there – in the coming years. It’s Britney’s world. Bitch. We just live in it. Bow down. As for WHY it’s selling so well? See exhibits A, B, C:
Here’s my former favorite nobody Heidi Montag out celebrating her loser husband’s 30th birthday at Crazy Horse III. Because you always invite your wife along to your birthday party at the Vegas strip club, right? Anyway, I know it’s been a while since we’ve seen Heidi, but I didn’t realize her and that d-bag were still married. I guess I always assumed that it was just a sham for the cameras, like pretty much everything else they did. But now I finally understand why she kept ignoring my attempts to ask her out.

My name is Alex, and I’m 19 years old. I’ve been feeling so incredibly blessed lately that I am able to write my 2 nd Bieber Experience. My first one happened back in October 2012 when Justin was in Minneapolis, and I met him outside his hotel the day before the concert after standing in the freezing cold all night. I thought that day was amazing, but little did I know that I would meet him again. It all started when I heard Justin was adding more tour dates around the US, and I knew I had to go to more! Unfortunately, he didn’t add one in Minnesota so I decided I would just travel around to see him! My friend (Morgan) and I decided to go to at least 2 more in the US. One place was Vegas and the other reasonable place to go was Iowa. For the Vegas show we tried to get VIP/M&G, but they sold out too fast, which was so upsetting. When the Iowa tickets went on sale, Morgan and I pounced and we ended up getting meet and greets and third row! I honestly could not believe it. I was going to meet my idol AGAIN! But then the torture of waiting 8 months set in. Summer finally came around and it was time to fly out to VEGAS! We even tried to win the M&G off BieberFever but that was a fail. We stalked him all day the day before and the day of the concert, but not luck. After Vegas, it was time for Iowa. The day of the M&G came and we were ready so early! We were out by his tour buses stalking in the 100 degree heat. After going inside for a bit, we decided we just had to be out by the buses again because we absolutely could not miss anything. Right when we were crossing the path to go to the other side of where fans could stand, Justin came out of his tour bus! He was walking towards me and I didn’t know if I should just run at him or what! He walked towards other fans, but I touched his hand and got some pics of him! It was the most perfect timing ever! After that we had to go to the VIP party and then we were led backstage. Dan Kanter came out and was talking to a few girls in line and I started singing the Dan Kanter song (not knowing he could hear me) and all a sudden he goes “Heyyy that’s my song!” I was like, “It sure is,” and then he gave me his guitar pick! It was awesome and he is so sweet. After waiting an hour in line, Justin finally arrived and was behind the curtain as we all anxiously waited to go in. As were waiting, I see dinner rolls being thrown at us from over the curtain. Justin was throwing his friggan dinner rolls at us! It was so funny and we threw them back at him. I kept yelling obnoxious things back like, “Hey give me your buns JuJu!” Then security was saying rules like, “No hugging Justin today,” and Justin screams from behind the curtain, “YOU CAN HUG ME ALL YOU WANT!” Then part of the curtain was open and I could see Justin on his segway, so I was like oh my god and started waving to him. He saw and waved back! Then right then it was time to walk in the curtain. It was what Justin said to me when I walked up to him that just made me feel like I was in a complete dream. In a whispered/quiet voice he said, “Come here baby.” I honestly almost collapsed. Like did he ACTUALLY just say that to me?! I asked him for a hug and then we took the picture. I was grabbing his arm in the picture haha. The only thing I could think to say was “I love you.” Then I went out and screamed my lungs out. After that it was time for the concert and I was right up against the stage the whole time, literally feet away from my idol and the person who I’ve been supporting since the beginning! It was the best concert out of all 3 Believe shows I’ve been too. I will never forget the few moments I spent with Justin at the meet and greet, and I’ll never forget watching him perform. I have been there for him for so long, and I never got recognized/noticed for years in the beginning, until just this past year. I finally started taking actions and making my dreams come true. If you really want to meet him, BE PROACTIVE. It will happen someday, I promise you all! I feel so grateful that I have gotten to meet him twice in the duration of 9 months, and I will never stop supporting him. Seriously, I love him so much and the love keeps getting stronger everyday! Thanks for reading my Bieber Experience. -Alex (@_BestBelieber) See the original post here: My name is Alex, and I’m 19 years old. I’ve been feeling so…
This is a damn shame. Train Operator In Spain Derailment Bragged About Going Too Fast On Facebook According to The NY Post Not only was one of the operators of the Spanish train that fatally derailed Wednesday going way too fast, he also found time to brag about it on Facebook. Francisco Jose Garzon Amo posted photos of the train’s speedometer on the social networking site, according to Spain media outlet El Pais. Garzon is in custody at a hospital where he is recovering from minor injuries. The accident claimed the lives of at least 80 people. Garzon, 52, posted a photo of the speedometer reading 200 km/h (125 mph). He responded to a friend who commented on the picture: “If I went any faster, they’d fine me.” A screengrab was obtained by Gawker.com and then later removed from Garzon’s Facebook. “What fun it would be to drive side-by-side the police and then pass them by, triggering the speed radar,” Garzon added. “Haha, bit of a fine or [train operator] Renfe, ha ha!” Garzon, a 30-year veteran of Spain’s national rail network, radioed in right before the crash saying the train was going “190” km/h (120 mph). An Associated Press analysis of video images suggests the train may have been traveling at twice the speed limit, or more, along that curved stretch of track. Spain’s government said two probes have been launched into the train’s derailment Wednesday night on its approach to this Christian festival city in northwest Spain, where planned celebrations in honor of one of Jesus’ disciples gave way to a living nightmare. The regional government in Galicia confirmed that police planned to question Garzon, in Santiago de Compostela’s main hospital with unspecified injuries, as both a witness and as a possible suspect, but cautioned that possible faults in safety equipment were also being investigated. The Interior Ministry raised the death toll to 80 in what was Spain’s deadliest train wreck in four decades. The Galician government said 94 others remained hospitalized in six regional hospitals, 31 of them — including four children — in critical condition. The U.S. State Department said one American was killed in the crash and five others were injured. State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said those numbers were “likely to change” and declined to elaborate. “Today the American people grieve with our Spanish friends, who are in our thoughts and prayers,” President Barack Obama said in a statement. If he would have spent less time on Facebook bragging, people would still be alive.
O.J., you’re not getting out anytime soon. O.J. Begs Parole Board To Go Easy On Him According to TMZ O.J. Simpson says he’s been nothing but a saint behind bars — a model prisoner– and now he’s begging Nevada prison officials to go easy on him because, well, he really didn’t do anything wrong in the first place. Suuuuure, pal. At his first parole hearing today, O.J. said he’s spent the last five years in prison with some really bad dudes — guys who’ve robbed banks, casinos, and gun shops. But, he says, his crime was much different from those … because he was merely trying to “retrieve” his OWN stuff. O.J. is serving time at the Lovelock Correction Center for a botched robbery of sports memorabilia in a Vegas hotel room in 2007. He was convicted of kidnapping, robbery and burglary and was sentenced to up to 33 years in prison. During the parole hearing, Simpson tried to convince a parole commissioner that he’s kept his nose clean these past few years and hasn’t gotten into any trouble while in the big house. The board didn’t issue a ruling today — and won’t for a couple of weeks — but don’t expect The Juice to get out of prison anytime soon. Because he’s serving concurrent and consecutive sentences for crimes stemming from the Vegas incident — O.J. will have to serve AT LEAST a few more years behind bars, even with a favorable ruling from the parole board. Guess the search for the “real killer” will still have to wait … Even if the parole board gives him a break he still won’t get out for some years. That’s some tough isht.
