Video - Selena Gomez Behind the Scenes at First “We Own the Night” Concert

19-Year-Old teen sensation Selena Gomez opened her “We Own the Night” concert tour last Thursday – and it was a huge success.

Gomez and her band “The Scene” started their tour at the Park Amphitheater in Boca Raton Florida and her boyfriend Justin Bieber was in the audience to cheer her on.

It was a great show and everybody loved it.

After the show Gomez tweeted,

"Boca really came out tonight. . . I love you all"

And our favorite sidekick and all-around good guy videographer Alfredo Flores was there to capture all the back stage action on film.

Over the weekend Flores edited up his footage so we could see how everything went down and have a chance to see Selena with her band, crew, singers, and dancers before hitting the stage for her opening night.

Alfredo was an instrumental player with Justin Bieber’s “My World” tour, and has worked on several of the singer’s videos as well as his 3D movie “Never Say Never”.

And after the show, Selena's boyfriend Justin Bieber hit up the town with his best bud Sean Kingston in what would turn out to be a wild night of being chased by fans, coning in a $400,000 Rolls Royce, getting pulled over by police in front of a T.G.I.F. restaurant, and getting caught by the paparazzi on his hotel balcony - shirtless and wearing only a pair of grey boxer short underwear.

Awkward.

Gomez will be touring through September but will take a break to perform at the “Kids Choice Awards” August 7th with OneRepublic.

The tour will cruise through Atlanta, New York, Chicago, Cleveland, Pennsylvania, Toronto, Boston, St. Louis, Dallas, Kansas City, San Diego, and Las Vegas.

She can also be seen in the recently released movie “Monte Carlo” starring with Cory Monteith, Leighton Meester, and Katie Cassidy - a comedy about three young women vacationing in Paris who find themselves whisked away to Monte Carlo after one of the girls is mistaken for a British heiress.

Later this year Selena can be seen in the Disney family comedy “The Muppets” working with an all-star cast that includes Mila Kunis, Emily Blunt, Amy Adams, and Jason Segel with appearances by Neil Patrick Harris, Katy Perry, Jack Black, and Ricky Gervais.

“The Muppets” will be released November 23rd and tells the story of how the rag-tag group must reunite, with the help of their fans, in order to save their old studio from a greedy oil tycoon.

Congrats to Selena and her crew for a great opening night and best wishes for a fantastic tour.

Illegal Immigrant Youth 'Come Out' for Reform

Barry Estabrook - 'Tomatoland' - How Industrial Farming 'Destroyed' The Tasty Tomato : NPR:

Lucky for us, we’re enjoying fresh Georgia tomatoes at the moment. But this story on commercially grown tomatoes from Florida explains why so many of the tomatoes we get in grocery stores lack flavor:

If you bite into a tomato between the months of October and June, chances are that tomato came from Florida. The Sunshine State accounts for one-third of all fresh tomatoes produced in the United States — and virtually all of the tomatoes raised during the fall and winter seasons. But the tomatoes grown in Florida differ dramatically from the red garden varieties you might grow in your backyard. They’re bred to be perfectly formed — so that they can make their way across the U.S. and onto your dinner table without cracking or breaking.

I submitted some photos to CNN yesterday for an iReport and when I got home from work, I received an email from the Assistant Producer of CNN International asking if they could use my photos for a future gallery on Georgia! They really liked my photos and want to use them! I am so excited to be recognized as a serious photographer with talent and to be included on such an important news site! But more importantly, I’m excited to have such a good industry contact! Perhaps this will lead to bigger and better things! It’s a great day to be me!

See the photos see the photos they will be using here!

Excellent story by Catherine Shoichet of CNN:

[Conservative Republican Paul] Bridges [mayor of Uvalda, Georgia] is one of more than a dozen plaintiffs suing Georgia and its governor, trying to stop the state’s new immigration law. They won a reprieve Monday when a federal judge temporarily blocked parts of the law scheduled to go into effect July 1.

What these students are doing is really, really brave and great. 

BUT WHY WOULD THE ASSOCIATED PRESS (WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO BE NEUTRAL) ADD THAT COMMENT ON HOW IF THE STUDENTS STAY IN AMERICA THEY WILL BE TAKING AWAY JOBS?????

ARGH. This is supposed to be a story on how these students are speaking up for themselves and you have to go and add that? It’s disgusting. They are standing right in front of you and you still refuse to see the issue with a human aspect.

See you soon my fellow internet users. I will be AWOL till mid-July so don’t assume from lack of posts that I have died. If I lose any followers within this time frame, be sure that you will have missed out on my I’m Back! nude photo gallery. 

I leave at 6 am to Atlanta. If I don’t get eaten alive by the remaining members of the Confederacy, I should be in California by the afternoon (If I don’t get eaten alive by gravity). Clearly my bag was too full to squeeze in the optimism.

What did I get into today?

Today starts VBS at Hill Street and I’m helping with the music class. 2 and a half hours of singing and dancing is quite a workout. After VBS was when the fun started though. Four of us headed over to Georgia Baptist and took a night swim. The water was the perfect temp, the moon was out (making it kinda eerie), and we ended up having a pretty good time. Two days in a row of lake swimming…I could get used to this.

Blah blahh blahhh

Hotels are expensive.

Any suggestions on hotels in East Orlando, FL that:

1. Allow 18+ check in (but under 21)

2. Decently priced for 3 poor college students (best I’ve found is $69 per night)

3. Aren’t completely run down and gross?

Macho Man Randy Savage Dead at 58

Professional wrestling fans are in shock today.

One of the greatest heroes of the sport has died.

TMZ is reporting that Macho Man Randy Savage was killed in a car accident around 9:30 this morning in Seminole Florida.

FHP says Savage was travelling in his vehicle when he had a heart attack, swerved across the center median, and crashed head on into a tree.

He was pronounced dead at a hospital near Tampa.

Cops say alcohol was not an issue and that Randy’s wife was also in the car and suffered minor injuries and was taken to the hospital. Both were wearing their seat belts.

Macho Man Randy Savage wrestled for the WWF from 1985-1994 and the WCW from 1994-1999 and was known for his flamboyant costumes and feuds with fellow wrestlers Ric Flair and Jake "The Snake" Roberts.


In real life, Randy was known to be feuding with fellow WWF wrestler Hulk Hogan, and had just recently started speaking to the Hogan whose real name is Terry Bollea.

After learning of his death Hogan tweeted,

"I'm completely devastated, after over 10 years of not talking with Randy, we've finally started to talk and communicate. He had so much life in his eyes & in his spirit, I just pray that he's happy and in a better place and we miss him. We miss him a lot. I feel horrible about the ten years of having no communication. This was a tough one I just pray that Randy's happy and in a better place and we miss him”.

Savage was the celebrity spokesman for Slim Jim snack foods during the 1990’s, and was cast in the 2002 film Spider-Man as the wrestler Bonesaw McGraw.

He also made appearances on several TV shows including The Jeff Foxworthy Show, Nikki, Walker Texas Ranger, Mad About You, and Baywatch.

God speed Macho Man.

Women Suffers From Rare Disorder That Makes Her Eat Sofa Cushions - Video

Okay, here is one we are going to have to file under “weird and bizarre”.

Miss Adele Edwards has a very rare medical condition called Pica Disorder. Believe it or not, it gives you the overwhelming desire to eat things that have no nutritional value.

In the case of Mrs. Edwards, who has five children, it makes her want to eat the inside foam filler of couch cushions. We’re not making this stuff up folks.

Edwards, 31, said,

“In the last year I’ve eaten seven sofas. I unzip the cushions and snack on the foam inside. And once I start I just can’t stop. But now doctors have told me that if I carry on, my addiction will kill me.”

Pica disorder is usually seen in children and pregnant women who lack certain nutrients and basic food elements, causing them to crave non-nutritive substances like chalk, dirt, coins, plastic, paper and even rocks.

Adele has recently been eating pieces of couch cushion fifteen times per day and consumes the equivalent of a throw pillow each week.

Pica is frequently caused by a mineral deficiency in many cases, such as an iron or salt deficiency, which sometimes is a result of celiac disease or other infection.

Sometimes it’s caused by stress, and Adele admits her first time happened during a very emotional period in her life when her parents were on the brink of divorce.

Her gastroenterologist, Dr. Christopher Olenec of the Digestive Health Center in Sarasota, Florida – the Doctor who diagnosed Edwards with Pica – ran tests and determined Adele was lacking iron in her blood.

“The question became, did she have a deficiency in her iron? And was that what was driving her to ingest the seat cushions?"

Miss Edwards’s blood contained half the amount of iron of a normal woman. Dr. Olenec believes he can now develop a simple supplement treatment for Adele that will cure her of her curious affliction.

Tiger Woods Seriously Hurt In Car Accident

Golfer Tiger Woods was seriously injured today in a car accident. Woods was alone in his car about 2:30 this morning driving near his home in Windermere Florida.

Last reports indicate he has already been released from the hospital after being treated for cuts on his face.

The golfer reportedly hit a fire hydrant and a tree on a neighbor's property less then one hundred feet from his own drive.

Police have not yet spoke to Tiger but alcohol was not being considered as a cause.

It is not yet known if the accident will affect his next appearance scheduled for December 3 in Thousand Oaks, Calif.
