“Today” Show Summer 2014 Concert Series Lineup!

The lineup for one of our favorite summer traditions, the “Today” Show Toyota Concert series was revealed today!   The schedule includes SecretFangirls.com favorites Austin Mahone, Ed Sheeran and Pharrell.

We’ve seen many great “Today” Show concerts over the years:  Big Time Rush, Hilary Duff, Hunter Hayes, Jonas Brothers, New Kids on the Block, Boyz II Men, 98 Degrees, and more.   It’s totally possible to squeeze in a quick concert before work/school/etc.  Our philosophy?  Are you going to look back and think “gee, I’m so glad I was well rested for work that random Summer Friday!”  Or “hey, remember that time James from BTR signed my coffee cup at 6am?”

Fangirl Tip!  Sign up for the Today Show Concert Series newsletter  – a few days before each concert, they will send out an email asking if you are interested in a Fan Pass.  The Fan Pass is awesome and allows you priority access and to be closest to the stage, without having to wait as long in line. (You’ll still need to be there before 6AM!)

Throwback Thursday: Justin Bieber

We know we promised ourselves that we would never write about The Biebs on here, but today might be the only exception.

In light of Justin’s DUI (among other things) arrest this morning, we thought it’d be fun to do a little Throwback Thursday on our favorite moments during Justin Bieber’s career.

Who would have thought this adorable shaggy haired little friend of Usher’s would have gotten into so much trouble in the past year?

Hopefully Justin will be saying this arrest is a “One Time” thing!

While we know that Justin has done a whole lot of good for his fans and others around the world, his recent antics have everyone in America chanting “Send him back to Canada!!” Justin’s team should probably get a tighter grip on the reigns of what’s left of Justin’s singing career.

Who can forget the iconic “Call Me Maybe” cover video that Carlos PenaVega (of Big Time Rush) put together with Justin, Selena Gomez, Ashley Tisdale, the rest of Big Time Rush, and all their friends?!   This is still our favorite video for Carly Rae Jepsen’s song.

Bieber’s Christmas CD always makes our cut of “Which songs do we put on repeat for a month instead of listening to the radio” but how can we forget Ellen Degeneres telling him to pull his pants up during the “Mistletoe” video?

Justin’s “Believe” album was by far his best album and it’s still one of our favorites. “Boyfriend” is easily our favorite song off that album and that won’t change any time soon! We still don’t understand why the video starts one way and then switches just as the first chorus kicks in.  (And we’ll just ignore the fact that the video is basically a rip-off of *NSYNC’s “Girlfriend”)

Once Justin started getting his tattoos, things kind of started to spin out of control – slowly at first and then all at once.  Add in the loss of his first love, the beautiful and classy Selena Gomez, and Justin fell into the lure of everything bad Hollywood has to offer to a young star.

In case you were at work all day and somehow missed it, here is Justin’s mug shot that was posted by the Miami Beach PD Twitter account. Arrest reports can also be found for both Justin and his friend on the Miami Beach Police Department’s Twitter. Still not sure why he looks more cheery in his mugs than in meet and greet photos lately.

Justin is now out of jail on bond, but we hope that he cleans up his act!
