Justin Bieber, 18, gives relationship advice: “it’s just about being honest”

Above we have this photo of Justin Bieber visiting Selena Gomez on the set of Spring Breakers, which is the movie that’s supposed to help Selena break out of her Disney shell. Although it may sound hard to believe, Justin and Selena have been dating for well over a year now, which is a rather disproportionally large percentage of both their lives, but that’s beside the point. Since Justin is a newly-minted legal adult, he feels like he’s an expert on romantic relationships now — so much so that he’s now giving pointers on how to be one half of a great couple. Are you sick to your stomach yet? Aww, it’s not that bad, really:

Young love!

Justin Bieber may have just turned 18, but in a new interview with Radio Disney, he proves that he’s wise beyond his brand-new “legally adult” status when it comes to knowing the key to a successful relationship.

“It’s just about being honest with one another,” he tells host Jake of Celebrity Take with Jake about how he and his equally-as-famous love, Selena Gomez, maintain their relationship in the midst of Hollywood’s stressors.

“You just have to be honest, that’s the first thing, because if you’re not honest, then the relationship is just not a good relationship. At the end of the day, your girl would appreciate you being honest more than lying to her and vice versa.”

Bieber and Gomez began dating in 2010 and have since been spotted packing on the PDA across the globe. In October, the Canadian crooner surprised the former Disney starlet by renting out an entire movie theater so the pair could watch Real Steel in private.

In “Boyfriend,” Bieber debuts a more mature side of his musical career. The chorus of the first song off his forthcoming album, Believe, has the lyrics: “If I was your boyfriend, never let you go / Keep you on my arm girl, you’d never be alone / I can be a gentleman, anything you want / If I was your boyfriend, I’d never let you go / I’d never let you go”

While it’s still true that the idea of Selena and Justin as a couple is still foot-rubbingly disgusting, I think these two kids are really happy together. Selena has even stated in her recent Cosmo interview that she feels fortunate to be with the Biebs, so I think they’ll be together for a good while.

Meanwhile and in a strange turn of events, Selena has tweeted this photo of herself hanging with James Franco on the set of Spring Breakers. That’s Vanessa Hudgens in the pink bikini top right before the group robs a restaurant for spring break money. Naturally, James is dressed in manner of Kevin “K-Fed” Federline.

Eh. Maybe Franco signed on as a favor to director Harmony Korine, but it’s probably more of a case of Franco deciding that he’s short on performance art credits this season. After all, even Franco’s butt is AAART, so I’m sure that he thinks that rolling through the hood with cornrows, tattoos, and a pinky ring is also worthy of the distinction as well.

Just for kicks, here are some quasi-vintage Kevin Federline photos from 2004.

    I saw the tags and wondered how the heck these ppl all came up in one article..lol. I thought at the beginning that Selena might have started dating Justin for greater exposure and to help her push into more mainstream rather than Disney kids (which would be the young crowd she might lose due to Justin) to match her push into more adult things, but looks like they are happy together.

    She’s ver cute but no matter what, I will always feel creepy whenever I see those boobs on a baby chipmunk….

    “Your girl would appreciate you being honest more than lying to her”, wow what a revelation! I’m sure many men will benefit from this sound advice.

  3. Marjalane says:

    I don’t think stories about Justin Beiber’s sex life should be posted until after 10:00 a.m. when I am fully caffeinated. All I can muster now is, “yuck”.

  4. emmie says:

    The only relationship advice he’s really qualified to give is how best to bribe your baby mama into silence.

  5. Julie says:

    maybe all the bashing made me feel a little symathphy for this little fellow.

    all i can say is that im so glad that nobody held a microphone under my nose when i was 18 because the things i said would have been equally stupid. i wouldnt feel well if all my teenage nonsense would be on the internet for ever.

    • lucky says:

      goooood point… I have my teenage journals and when I look back I think what an insipid fool I was! haha-

  6. Lemmy says:

    So true Emmie. He should suggest that everyone get a pr to fake your image to the media to ensure you come out smelling like a rose when you are really a sewer rat.

  7. Bonfire Beach says:

    As someone who is subjected to listening to Radio Disney (not of my own free will, mind you), this is to be expected.

  8. lilibet says:

    Talking of being honest….what happened with the whole Bieber paternity saga??

    • badrockandroll says:

      Lilibet:

      Emmy and Lemmie think that it’s all solved, and that Bieber bribed that girl into silence.

      The rest of us know that Bieber went to a recognized clinic and provided a sample pursuant to the industry norm. The girl and her ambulance chasing lawyer, who had previously dropped her family court case, have since refused to provide the child’s DNA because they believe that Bieber should have done everything at the lab on camera, a highly irregular demand.

      The ball, so to say, is in her court, and her refusal to do anything further, like providing the kid’s saliva, or like dropping her civil suit, makes it more probable (if you needed additional proof besides the earlier paternity claims against other men, her sketchy interviews, and her skeezy past) that she is not telling the truth, and is waiting for a payout rather than being the recipient of one.

      I am no fan of this kid’s music. In fact, when I listen to it, I feel vaguely guilty for the pain I must have inflicted upon my parents when I listened to my teenybopper Partridge family and Osmond Brothers albums over and over. But I feel bad for Bieber, because no matter what he accomplishes throughout the rest of his life, people are always going to remember this gold-digger’s allegations.

      • Lemmy says:

        Oh yeah I really see Bieber suffering. He really look like he is in agony. I remember him the 12 year old boy Bieber assaulted. Those charges magically went away to. Nice to have people clean up all your garbage.

      • emmie says:

        He dodged a perfectly reasonable request by her lawyers to monitor the handling of the sample. Considering there are millions of dollars at stake and the situation was hostile, I’d be surprised if they demanded anything less. The ball is still in HIS court. At this point, that DNA could belong to anyone.

        If I were him and knew the baby wasn’t mine, I’d film the DNA swabbing myself and upload that and the negative test results for the world to see. Keanu Reeves had a situation like this. He just got the damn test done without the drama we saw from Bieber. And what ever happened to that lawsuit he was harping on about, why not follow through?

      • badrockandroll says:

        Lemmy: Bieber was never charged in the BC incident, so charges did not “go away”, they never existed. Police investigation showed that the 12 year old victim and his friends swarmed Bieber and were calling him faggot. Bieber likely pushed one of the kids to get out of the crowd. The kid was not injured, required no medical assistance, and police were only called some hours later by the kid’s father.

        The thing with conspiracy theories is that they require complicit partners. In your world, the RCMP conspired in order to protect Bieber, and a respected lab needs to put extra checks and balances that do no apply to other citizens in place because Bieber might swap his sample with someone else’s. All because some meth chick thought that she could make a few bucks. If there was any merit in her claim, she would have stuck with family court, which is concerned with the welfare of the child and the privacy of all parties. Instead, she withdrew it to go to civil court, where there are not as many built in protections for privacy, and where the best interest of the child is not a primary factor. Is she looking for justice, the future of her child or extortion? Civil courts do not have the same powers as family courts to make litigants do things. And until she ponies up with the baby’s saliva, Bieber cannot be proven or disproven as the father, and until he is disproven, he can’t sue for slander. Neat trick on the part of this girl.

    I cant believe Im about to defend Bieber, but….. at 18 who didn’t think they already knew everything?! So I’m going to cut him some slack on this.

    • Floridaseaturtle says:

      I’m with you on this one. I definitely knew just about everything at 18, brilliant by 22. lol. Can’t hate on him for saying something true…just that it sounds so naive coming from that fresh baby adult. Sincere best wishes to him, nice pat on the back…keep up the good work young man. (hint for JB, there are times where honesty is probably not best…ie, it is a ‘trick question’ when a girl asks…’does this make my butt look big’?..the answer is always NO, unless she is going for that look on purpose..good luck with all that). 😉

    • ataylor says:

      I think he’s more naive than anything else. Weren’t there rumors that Selena cheated on him with Ashton Kutcher earlier last year?

    “Eh. Maybe Franco signed on as a favor to director Harmony Korine,”…

    When I see the name Harmony Korine, whom I appreciate artistically as a director, I ALREADY know that the movie is going to have LOTS of teens in it with LOTS of flesh showing and its GONNA BE CONTROVERSIAL…so Selena is using the RIGHT director to wash the “Disney” persona off…

  11. EmmaStoneWannabe says:

    This post was hilarious for so many reasons. Mostly the Franco-KFed thing. So funny. Why, Franco? Why? ..Oh that’s right..the art!!! lol

  12. LBeees says:

    Yes, I too thought I was all-knowing at 18! Goodness gracious, looking through my old journals is so painful! And the poetry!

    Reminds me of something my mom used to say, “Why don’t you run away now while you still know everything!

  13. It’s nice that someone his age has already understood what older and much more experienced adults haven’t… Don’t think its enough, though, but still.
