Tori Sussex, left, and Silvia Salinas will be the envy of teenage girls everywhere when they get to meet Justin Bieber.


Silvia Salinas and Tori Sussex would be at the top of the class if Justin Bieber was a school subject

Both girls are huge fans of the Canadian teen pop sensation. So they're rapt beyond belief to hear they're going to meet him in New York.

The year 9 pupils won a photo competition run to promote the launch of a new fruit drink. Silvia, who lives at West Harbour, roped in Tori, to help decorate her mum's car with Bieber pictures. The pair also designed outfits using drink cans as part of the contest and posed with both to create their winning picture.
Both "went crazy" when they learned they had won.

"I didn't believe Silvia when she called me and told me," Tori says. "It's taking a while to sink in – we still can't believe we're actually going."

Silvia, who attends Carmel College, is reminded of the trip every time she sees Bieber on TV or hears him on the radio.

The girls like "everything" about their idol. "His looks, his talent, his personality – and he's got cool hair," Silvia says.

Silvia, whose Facebook profile photo has her holding a Justin Bieber CD, says lots of girls have been congratulating her on the social network site but some have sent nasty messages.

Both girls became friends through their love of Bieber and still can't believe they are actually going to meet their crush in a month's time.

They leave for New York on August 30 with their mums and will stay five nights in a hotel.

Each will get to attend Bieber's concert and meet him afterwards.

First they stole his hat. Then they pushed his mom to the ground. Then they made fun of him because he misunderstood "German". Now they do this. Hahaha. NZ never stops.

Think he'll be coming back anytime soon?

It took 30 policeman working a total of 161 hours to look after pop sensation Justin Bieber during his day-long New Zealand visit.

The resources were used for the 16-year-old Canadian heart-throb's visit on April 27 and 28.

He came to New Zealand to perform at Karaka's Academic Colleges Group Strathallan College which won the concert through a radio station promotion.

Security was beefed up in New Zealand after excited fans caused chaotic scenes in Sydney which prompted police to cancel his show at the Circular Quay.

Information released to the Herald under the Official Information Act revealed 12 police officers were at Auckland International Airport - for six hours each - for his arrival, working a total of 71 hours.

Bieber, who had his own bodyguards, faced 500 screaming girls at the gates. One snatched his hat and another knocked over his mother, which he later expressed his annoyance about via the internet.

The airport also provided extra security.

The acting district commander of Auckland police, Chief Inspector John Palmer, said police did not "provide a security protection operation.

Rather, they attended venues "to keep the peace and provide crowd control responses in the normal operating manner".

Two police staff made frequent "drive-by visits" of the Langham Hotel, where the teenager stayed, working a total of five hours between them.

The next day four police staff were stationed at Strathallan School for three hours each.

When Bieber left another 12 police officers were at the airport for six hours each.

Also at the school were four St John ambulance volunteers and one paid staffer, but only one female student had to be treated - she grazed her knee when she fell over while running to the auditorium for the concert.

Back-up frontline staff were also on standby and three local ambulance stations were notified in case additional resources were required.

Two ambulances and a "rapid response" 4WD vehicle were at the school.

Two of the volunteers were stationed outside the gate to assist any non-students who tried to gatecrash the concert while the other two were inside the school's auditorium for the concert and the other staffer floated between them, liaising with police and school staff.

Garth McVicar of the Sensible Sentencing Trust said that over the years several victims had had trouble getting police to respond when they had reported a crime so the police decision to help with crowd control for Bieber's visit was shocking.

"There seems to be a huge lack of resources, lack of man-power to actually react to real crime.

"It just appalls me. Shouldn't these pop stars be organising their own security at their own cost? It shouldn't be a cost that the taxpayer's paying for. The police are a crime-fighting agency and that's what they should be limiting their resources to."

Bieber-sitting:

* Auckland International Airport (arrival): 12 police officers, 72 hours

* Langham Hotel: 2 police officers, 5 hours

* Strathallan school: 4 police officers, 12 hours (plus five ambulance staff)

* Auckland International Airport (departure): 12 police officers, 72 hours

TOTAL: 30 staff, 161 hours

Not only is he part German but he got up close and personal with one.


If you can't handle the picture of JB kissing German Idol contestant
Steffi Landerer then make sure not to watch the video.


And here he is on German TV counting to 10 in "Jewman"


Justin on Twitter:
"Because I thought this interviewer in NZ said 'Jewman' instead of 'German' people think I don't know what German is?"
He later tweeted:
"I count in GERMAN and translate my own name. Guess I know what German is. Guess home schooling is working out. Do your research next time b4 making a lame attempt at hating on a 16 year old."






I talked about this a few days ago and now the hating is spreading everywhere. Yes the host did show JB the card but the accent was so strong he couldn't understand him. He thought the guy said "Jewman" which, to me, sounds like a racist term and we all now Justin isn't like that. That is why he said "we don't use that word in America". He wasn't trying to be a smart ass on national TV with that comment. He's just trying to distance himself from what he thought was a racist term. And why couldn't the host just say "You know as in Germany" to clarify?

Here is the clip again.... (Watch the full interview here.)


This small thing has become such a big deal because there are so many JB haters out there spreading it. Do you not agree?




03 May 2010






Apparently after Justin left NZ he has been getting a lot of flack by the same tv station that he did the interview. They are making fun of him because...well see it for yourself....



Coming from a Canadian, I tried to listen to clip a few times and to tell you the truth even I would have picked up that he was saying "German", the hosts does having a strong accent. So I can't blame Justin for thinking that the host said "Bieber is germing for basketball".

What do you think? Should they be trashing Justin for this especially since Justin did make time to do an interview with them?

The full interview was posted a few days ago here.




30 April 2010



Click here to watch the long but cool interview. The next post will is a clip take from this video.







It's great that Justin has a lot of fan in New Zealand but you have to draw the line somewhere. You can see from the video how furious Justin was when in the middle of all that mayhem someone pulled his touque right off his head. He tried to get it back but he couldn't do anything with all the guards around him pushing him through. It's just not right! And his mom! Wish there was I video I could show you guys of her being pushed to the floor.


And no I'm not going to post their picture of them smiling waving his touque.

Justin Bieber is upset after hordes of fans knocked over his mother and stole his hat as he tried to walk through a New Zealand airport last night.



The Canadian pop star arrived in Auckland yesterday for a concert and promotional duties. The 16-year-old was met by hundreds of screaming girls, who mobbed him and his entourage the moment they cleared customs.

In the ensuring chaos, Justin’s mother Pattie Mallette was knocked to the ground and his hat was taken, prompting an angry Justin to take to his Twitter page to urge his fans to calm down.

"Finally got to New Zealand last night. The airport was crazy. Not happy that someone stole my hat and knocked down my mama. Come on people,” Justin wrote.
"I want to be able to sign and take pics and meet my fans, but if you are all pushing, security won't let me. Let's keep it safe and have fun."

Pattie later posted her own message saying she was “OK” after the incident.

"Thanks for all ur support!! I'm ok thank you!!! (sic)," she wrote.

Justin’s arrival caused similar chaos in Australia, where police were forced to cancel his planned outdoor concert earlier this week because fans were being crushed in the rush to get into the venue. Several teenage girls were taken to hospital, with one suffering a fracture kneecap and several others fainting from hyperventilation.

Bieber’s manager Scott ‘Scooter’ Braun was recently arrested over a similar incident at a shopping centre in Long Island, New York, last November. Justin was due to perform a free concert in the mall, but police had to cancel it after fan numbers became dangerous. Scooter was accused of taking too long to inform the crowd the event was called off, thus endangering the life of Justin’s young fans.

The Biebz will arrive in New Zealand tomorrow, staying for just a day, to perform at Academic Colleges Group's Strathallan School, in Papakura.

But given the young singer's huge popularity - particularly among teenage girls - and yesterday's incident, Auckland Airport has increased its security.

And his record label, Universal Music New Zealand, is keeping his arrival time secret.

An airport spokesman said: "We are meeting with police and other airport security tomorrow morning to discuss the issue."

Meanwhile, another Auckland high school has had to go for damage control, after rumours spread that Bieber had been expected to perform there but that the principal had refused to allow the show.

Several students at Diocesan School for Girls in Epsom became upset when texts circulated that the college had won a radio competition to have the singer perform at their school, but that senior management had decided otherwise.

Principal Heather McRae said the rumours were in no way true.
NZHERALD





Security has been beefed up for teen pop star Justin Bieber's 24 hour visit to Auckland on Wednesday.
This follows chaos in Sydney today after police called off a free concert by the 16-year-old for public safety reasons.
Universal Music promotions director Justin Warren says local security will be following the singer from the time he lands.
Bieber will be performing at a south Auckland school which won the concert through a promotion run by a radio station.
Aussie concert cancelled
The  free concert was scheduled to take place at Circular Quay in Sydney, but was cancelled because police feared for the safety of the thousands of eager young fans, mostly girls, who swarmed the forecourt at the Overseas Passenger Terminal.
News that the Canadian teen sensation had arrived early forced a crowd surge about 2am. Problems with the unruly group continued over the following hours, with crowd surges crushing and trampling some fans.

Paramedics were forced to rescue at least 10 girls who fainted.

Police later said all of the girls were treated at the scene for minor injuries.
TVNZ


Watch Sunrise try to give excuses after excuses.
It should be obvious who is to blame for this.

Sorry Australia Beliebers.
