Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber had their big public reunion last night at the Billboard Music Awards, and although they walked the blue carpet seperately, they did sit together and kissed for everyone, which … sucks. I’m firmly in the “showmance reunion” camp for this event because both Justin and Selena performed onstage last night, and I have a feeling that Scooter Braun got together with Selena’s people and encouraged them to make nice. They’ll probably “break up” again next week.

Anyway, Selena wore this semi-futuristic, white Atelier Versace gown with neon details that featured mesh cutouts in the front and back. In the front, we’re seeing a bit of peekaboo boob curve, which isn’t terribly scandalous. If anything, I expected Selena to mix things up a bit more because this look is a little boring for her. Her hair and makeup look lovely though.

Carly Rae Jepsen synchronized with the nearly all-black dress code at this event. She won the award for “Top Digital Song Artist” — probably because of that awful “Call Me Maybe” song that played everywere on the internet (as well as at last year’s Olympics). Carly Rae wore a Dyanthe dress with little mullety side details at the bottom, and she looks pretty good here even though she matched her eyeliner to her new auburn hair color.

Alyssa Milano disappointed last night in this one-shouldered, white number that looked like a dressy toga that one would wear to a stuffy tea party. Man, I used to have such a girlcrush on her during the “Who’s the Boss?” era. She seemed ageless for so long, but it’s obvious that the urge to Botox has inevitably taken charge.

Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland seemed out of place in this baby pink Georges Chakra dress. She just had a baby last December though, so I have to give her kudos for the rocking bod.

Here are photos of Justin Bieber satsifying his munchies (ahem) at an LA convenience store a few days ago. Selena Gomez has also been in town and was photographed here while hitting a dance studio on the same day. Exactly a week ago, Kaiser reported that these two crazy kids had broken up (yet) again, but it looks like they are already back together (yet) again. E! Online reports that Justin and Selena went clubbing together last Tuesday, and now they are both in Las Vegas (where they hit up Cirque de Soleil over the weekend) for the Billboard Music Awards where they are tipped to sit next to each other throughout the show.

So I guess this means that Selena and Justin are back together, dammit (why, Selena, why?). The Daily Star has also printed a horrific story that says Justin has been ring shopping for Selena and is making preparations for a “final design” with Neil Lane next week. I so hope that this story isn’t true, but here are the details:

Justin Bieber has been shopping for a diamond ring for on-again love Selena Gomez. Pals believe the pop brat is preparing to pop the question.

He has asked Beverly Hills jeweller Neil Lane to design a £650,000 creation for July when Selena turns 21. Lane has supplied engagement rings for a string of stars, including Madonna and Britney Spears.

Although he refuses to comment on his clients, a source close to Lane said: “Justin is planning to go through final designs with Neil in the next week. At the moment his favourite idea is a huge, canary yellow, princess-cut diamond surrounded by smaller diamonds and set in white or yellow gold.”

Aides say Bieber has kept his concert schedule clear for Selena’s 21st and will fly home from Boston on July 21, the day before her birthday. The 19-year-old has behaved himself since being reunited with Spring Breakers star Selena last month when she flew to join him on the Scandinavian leg of his Believe world tour.

The two were spotted kissing backstage at Norway’s Telenor Arena in Oslo where he performed three gigs. Later, he posted an Instagram photo in which he was bare-chested as she gazed fondly at him.

The Baby singer’s pal added: “Justin kept relentlessly pursuing her with text messages, emails and phone calls, despite the fact that she dumped him last year.

“Justin’s mum Pattie also put ­pressure on Selena after coming to the conclusion she was the only one who could keep him on the straight and narrow. Eventually, Selena caved in and flew out to join him.”

Last night, a relative in his Canadian homeland said: “”he sooner Justin settles down the better. And this girl seems to be the only one who can handle him and stop him misbehaving.”

Here’s the thing — I want to believe that Selena is only stringing Justin along to gain some publicity for her upcoming album. That theory, if true, is pretty awful, but it’s a lot better than believing that Selena’s really dumb enough to keep taking Bieber back because she actually likes (or even loves) him. Right? So I would hope there’s no real possibility of an actual engagement in the works.

In other Bieb-related news, enough time has passed that German officials have officially declared custody of poor Mally the monkey. Hopefully, Mally will soon be headed to the aforementioned shelter where he can hang with other capuchin monkeys, but in the meantime, a customs spokesperson is sending the message to Biebs to pay all the costs associated with the mess. It’s the least the kid can do.

Here’s a photo Selena Gomez posted on her Twitter yesterday with the message, “Hope all the amazing moms had a great day! I have the best momma in the world ) I love you so much!” That’s her mother Mandy Cornett, who is totally pregnant again. Mandy gave birth to Selena when she was 16… which makes Mandy 36 years old right now. Good God. I can’t even imagine having a 20-year-old daughter at that age.

In other Selena news, she just told a radio station that she and Justin Bieber are done for good. Which we’ve heard before. Selena and Justin seemed to reunite in April, with Selena traveling to see him in Europe and Justin posting cheesy photos of the two of them. But yesterday, the DJ asked her: “So sometimes you may see a boy walking down the street and he says, ‘Let’s grab and ice-ream. You’re available?’” Selena said, “Yep, I’m available in every way. By the way, that would be awesome if someone asked if I wanted ice cream.”

Selena also went out to eat at Hooters a few days ago – she tweeted a photo of herself with a bunch of the Hooters waitresses. She has a long history with Hooters – she’s said in interviews that her dad used to take her to Hooters when she was just a kid, and she would help him pick up women. PS… is it just me or do those Hooters waitresses look REALLY young?

Selena Gomez covers the June issue of InStyle magazine, and she looks very fresh and pretty on the cover. Guess what she’s wearing? The same black-and-blue Stella McCartney jumpsuit that Jennifer Lawrence wore to the Santa Barbara film festival in February. Shocking, right? It so surprising that this is a Stella design considering most of the stuff she creates is perfectly terrible (such as Kristen Stewart’s awful Met Gala onesie), but this is probably the only Stella outfit that I have ever liked.

As far as the rest of the photoshoot goes, only a few samples have been released with the cover, but we’ve already covered most of the photos a few months ago when the shoot (titled “Gear Shift”) took place. Everyone thought it was a shoot for a music video, but — surprise — it was really for InStyle. The interview excerpts that have filtered out aren’t anything of the earth-shattering variety, but Selena expresses a similar sentiment to her interview last fall with Glamour where she said if she stayed in Texas, she’d have two kids by now. This discussion was also conducted before Selena made the fateful mistake of getting back with Justin Bieber, so she talks about heartbreak a little bit. Here are some excerpts:

At age 20, she wants to push boundaries: “This is a weird transition for me. I want to keep pushing myself so I never feel settled. I don’t really know if it’s going to end up working. I’m stressed out most of the time.” Gomez would like to eventually say so long to music to concentrate solely on acting. She imagines a career modeled on stars like Shia LaBeouf, Jennifer Lawrence, and Natalie Portman–actors who are continually reinventing themselves, she says.

Her new album includes a Bieber break-up song: “Love Will Remember” mournfully chronicles the end of a relationship, and Gomez makes it crystal clear that she did indeed write it about Bieber. “That’s the most personal track on the record, for sure. I think it’s a sweet way of releasing it. It’s not an aggressive approach to what people are probably expecting. I’m sure he’ll love it too.”

How to date in the spotlinght: “I’m from Texas, so I should be married with children already. I’m in love with love and totally believe in marriage, but that’s not even on my radar right now. I am not putting energy into dating. It’s uncomfortable that everywhere I go, people know. I don’t like that. But Justin and I never really focused on the attention. You can’t help who you date. So I wouldn’t swear off that or say that’s what I want again. I don’t know. I’m a kid, and a breakup is normal. I have to go through the emotions and feel it out. I’m doing my own thing, being with my friends, and he’s doing very well too. You have to have honesty when you’re living this lifestyle because of the distance imposed when working–you are separated so often. You have to be super-honest and open. That is key.”

On her “sister,” Taylor Swift: “We dated the Jonas Brothers at the same time and ended up becoming best friends. She’s the one I call when I’m having any sort of sadness. She’s very nurturing and protective.”

On her Kmart fashion line: “I remember when I was younger and kids in school would be wearing $40 sweaters and other things I couldn’t buy. I wanted to make a line that was supercute and affordable, things a 12-year-old could wear and I could wear too.” She also co-designs a sports-inspired line,

On her style: “I’m on the petite side and I don’t think I’m curvy, but maybe I’ll grow into it. I like to wear things that are fitted because they give me more shape. I like to show a little bit of skin in a nice way. The idea of trying to get on a best-dressed list stresses me out. I’m so nervous. I love picking out clothes, and it would be a blast to just play dress-up all the time.”

[From InStyle]

I can certainly get behind Selena’s statements of creating cute and affordable clothing for tweens. The competitiveness of middle school girls is second to none, and it’s pretty much the end of the world when one has to wear the same five outfits every week while the rich girls never seem to wear anything twice. Luckily for my daughter, her public school requires uniforms now. That makes things so much easier for kids when the sartorial playing field is leveled.

There’s also a rumor going around that “American Idol” is trying to tap Selena and Justin as judges for next season. That could be true, but I don’t think either of them would be interested at this point in their careers.

As Bedhead reported last week, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are back together. For better or for worse. I don’t know why she’s back with this sinking ship, but we’ll see what happens. Anyway, Justin posted the above photo on Instagram late Friday with the message: “You’ve been makin music for too long babe come cuddle—her”. Gross. What’s surprising (I guess?) is that he actually left the photo up without deleting it just seconds later, like he did last week with another photo of the two of them. PS… WHERE IS HER RIGHT HAND?!

If you want to laugh, go and read the thousands of comments on this one photo. The Beliebers are going to devour each other. Loyalties are being tested. Threats are being made. There’s a lot of wailing and all-caps yelling. Some are pleased, some not so much. Real question: which is worse, a Beliebers pile-on or a Twihard pile-on? I actually think the Twihards are angrier, more vocal and probably more prone to violence. I think the Twihards are probably, on average, a little bit older (but not by much).

Hilariously, Hollywood Life has a story comparing Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart’s relationship with Justin and Selena’s relationship. In their side-by-side, Justin = Kristen. Justin tried to “win” Selena back using the same methods employed by Kristen, post-Mini Coopering. I’m not sure it’s the same thing, but sure.

By the way, here are some photos of Justin and a friend looking foolish in Stockholm last Thursday. DJ DIAPER ONESIE IN THE HIZZY.

If there’s one thing in life that’s certain (besides death and taxes), it’s that Justin Bieber will never stop posting obnoxious photos of himself to his Instagram account. For whatever reason, he’s wearing a black Chanel ski mask (which he describes as “Channel“) in this latest addition to his online portfolio, and of course, this is the same weird vibe he gave off while wearing a gas mask in London before he started melting down. In addition, Biebs has posted some new shirtless selfies from the gym that are dated during the fallout from his Anne Frank scandal (“great girl, hopefully she would have been a belieber“), and at least these photos aren’t quite as ridiculous as his famed “Selena cam” photo from last year, but damn, Bieber should wear a shirt at all times.

Speaking of Selena, I briefly mentioned the rumors that she and Bieber had reunited in Norway late last week, and those rumors are unfortunately true. Us Weekly reports that the two met up backstage after Bieb’s Oslo concert. TMZ adds that Selena travelled to Oslo specifially “on a mission to hook up,” and pointed us to this photo of the two lovers (above) looking quite pleased to be in each other’s company. Apparently, Bieber tweeted/instagrammed this photo and then deleted it. Man, this is like The Godfather III — we thought Selena was out, and Bieber just pulled her back in again. Here’s more from People:

Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber’s relationship appears to be back on — again!

The Spring Breakers star traveled to Oslo, Norway to be with the pop star, who performed a concert there Thursday. And the two have left no doubt that their romantic flame has reignited.

“They were holding hands, hugging and they kissed on the lips,” a source tells People. “They looked really in love, like no fights ever happened before. It definitely looked like they were back together.”

While Bieber, 19, and Gomez, 20, split back in November, they have kept in touch. In late-March, the pop star was spotted visiting the actress’ Los Angeles home.

While a source told People at the time that Gomez was “becoming more and more comfortable with her decision [to split],” it appears she kept some good will for him. “She wants the best for him,” said the source.

Bieber will remain in Europe for dates on his Believe tour. His next scheduled show is Saturday in Copenhagen.

[From People]

God, this is such a bummer. Selena can clearly do so much better than this little brat who believes the world revolves around him and won’t even bother to pull up his own pants or be responsible with his own pet monkey.

If you’re looking for another reason to dislike Bieber, well you can look no further. His paternal grandfather, George, has spoken to the Sun from the squalor of his rundown cabin and says that Bieber has never offered him a dime even though he is disabled and can no longer work. The guy can’t even afford to fix his caved-in roof after a tree made a huge hole a few years ago. While there’s certainly no law that says Bieber should help his grandpa out, it’s obviously the right thing to do. Sadly, I’m sure this story will fall completely on deaf-douche ears because Bieber would rather keep posting shirtless selfies than ever truly help someone.

After Ryan Seacrest and Julianne Hough broke up last month after a two-year contract relationship, speculation immediately began as to who Julianne would date next. My first guess was, of course, that Tom Cruise would give her a call (and perhaps he already has, and we just don’t know it yet), but then last weekend, Julianne was reportedly getting flirty and rubbing up on Alex Pettyfer at Coachella. I am quite curious to see who lands Julianne because, even though she’s not a good actress, she’s still a fairly hot commodity as far as the dating scene goes. I am assuming that lots of dudes would want to get with her.

In the midst of all of Julianne’s options, I never even thought about who Ryan Seacrest would end up with for his next coupling. Strange, right? The dude completely seems asexual to me, so I figured he’d retreat to his piles of money and maybe cry a little bit about his lost lady love. According to a new story in this week’s Enquirer, Ryan does indeed have his eye on a new girl … Selena Gomez. Are you giggling yet? Poor Ryan:

Ryan Seacrest has flipped for Justin Bieber’s ex-girlfriend, Selena Gomez! The saucy Spring Breakers hottie apparently caught Ryan’s eye when she dropped by his L.A. radio show. But at 38, sources say the “American Idol” host is afraid he’s too old for the talented 20-year-old singer.

“Selena showed up looking super sexy n a low-cut top, and she totally flirted with Ryan,” said an insider. “At one point he asked her if the lyrics to her new single, ‘Come & Get It,’ were about the Biebs, and Selena said, half-joking, that they were actually about him!”

After the interview, Ryan — who recently split from former “Dancing with the Stars” pro Julianne Hough — told pals that he’d love to ask Selena for a date, said the source. “Ryan thinks they would have a great time together,” revealed the source. “The problem is that he’s afraid she’d laugh and tell him he’s old enough to be her dad — which in fact, he is.”

Despite that, Ryan hinted to Selena’s people that he’s interested, hoping to sidestep the embarrassment of asking her directly and being shot down, said the source. “Ryan is used to dating younger women,” the source continued. “After all, Julianne was just 24. So dating Selena wouldn’t be that much different. I’m sure tha tif Selena’s pals tell Ryan she’d go out with him, she’ll be getting a call. Selena’s expressed interest in seeing older, more mature men, but I’m not sure that means she’s looking for someone who’s pushing 40!”

[From Enquirer, print edition, April 29, 2013]

I can easily believe this story. Ryan seems like the type of guy who likes to call the shots, and he probably assumes that a very young lady (like Selena — she’s only 20, dude!) is more likely to put up with that sort of thing. Although the (alleged) fact that he told “her people” that he was interested is about as romantic as Julianne saying “the deal is done” about Ryan. It all just sounds so impersonal, doesn’t it?

Meanwhile, Selena has just been spotted touching down in Norway, which is also where Justin Bieber happens to be at this very moment. Ruh roh.

Selena Gomez wasn’t her usual fresh-faced self on the red carpet of the MTV Movie Awards. Her dress was Julian McDonald with lots of gold embellishments and drippy fringe, and even if it was a little bit shapeless for a party frock, Selena pulled that part of her ensemble off in style. Her shoes were very blah though, and she should have gone with black strappy sandals instead of nude, peep-toed pumps.

I think this dress was tied into Selena’s look for the night since she later performed a barefoot, Arabian-Nights inspired rendition of her new single, “Come and Get It,” which was meant as a tribute to Britney Spears’ “Slave 4 U.”

Overall, Selena doesn’t look thrilled to be at this event, but that could be because her hair is tied back so severely, and her makeup is very cat-like, which contributes to the stiff effect. Selena doesn’t look bad in this dress at all, but it’s just not a very fun look for her like we’re accustomed to seeing.

JWowww looks like she’s trying out for the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” show. She brought grumpy Roger along too, and I have to wonder what he thinks of his fiancée’s increasingly immobile face. This gown is way too much for an MTV event, but I barely even noticed it because of J-Woww’s frozen lips and cheeks. She can barely even crack a smile with all of those fillers.

Snooki and her outrageous veneers were present and accounted for as well. This dress highlights Snickers’ new slimline figure and is much better than the usual leopard-print or hot pink fabrics that she chooses for her everyday attire. Dresswise and shoewise, this is a classy look for Snooki. It’s too bad she had to ruin it with all that massive hair and, yeah, the teeth.

Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola showed up with Ronnie Ortiz-Magro in tow. This dress is seriously underwhelming and looks like something Sammi would have worn to go clubbing at Karma in Seaside, NJ. She was truly the prettiest girl on the “Jersey Shore” program, but here everything is very lifeless. Even her hair manages to be boring. Poor Sammi and Ronnie — everyone’s forgotten about them already.

I love a good conspiracy theory as long as it doesn’t involve silly allegations of the Illuminati using puppets to take over the world. Here’s one for you in the form of Justin Bieber’s brand new bangs, which he debuted over the weekend all over Twitter. I sent this photo to Kaiser as an example of her famed “bangs trauma,” but she just laughed. Poor Bieber gets no respect. What do you think of these bangs? Honestly, they’re not bad considering the subject matter. In case you forgot (and how could you?), this is how Bieber has looked this year until now:

I have a little theory though. These new bangs aren’t just a means to an end of using less hair product. Nope. These are PR bangs. These bangs are meant to make you remember a time (not too long ago) when Bieber was a fresh-faced teenager with a floppy fringe. These bangs are meant to make you forget all about how Bieber has taken to abandoning his pet monkey, spitting in people’s faces and threatening to kill them, showing up hours late for concerts, and throwing tantrums in nightclubs. Not to mention those embarrassing Sizzurp party sessions after Bieber’s recent Grammy shutout. Is it working for you? Because Bieber would kindly like for you to wipe the slate clean just so that he can get back to helping people (it’s God’s will, yo).

Here’s Bieber in 2010 with his original bangs of innocence:

There might also be another ulterior motive for these bangs. According to a new story from Hollywood Life, Justin has been pushing really hard for Selena Gomez to take him back. This story is believable since just a few weeks ago, Justin tried to give Selena a puppy, and she turned Biebs and his gift away. Basically, “she has totally moved on from him” and told Bieber that there’s no hope for a reconciliation. I hope she stays strong. She could do so much better.

Just for kicks, here are some more “vintage” photos of Bieber rocking his bangs in 2010. Ahh, yes. The days when he bothered to pull up his pants. I miss those days!

I just raided Justin Bieber’s Instagram account and found some new-ish photos of himself with Mally, the unfortunate capuchin monkey. I’d like to provide a brief update to our stories in which Mally was seized by German customs officials because Bieber didn’t have the proper paperwork for transport from Los Angeles to Munich, and then “heartbroken” Bieber merely shrugged his shoulders and left the country while the poor monkey was left traumatized in a shelter and refusing to eat. German authorities have offically given Biebs until the end of the month to file the proper paperwork before they will release Mally into Bieber’s care. If Bieber doesn’t come through for the monkey, the temporary shelter has arranged for Mally to head towards a more permanent shelter where workers have experience raising groups of capuchins and will work to reverse the trauma of Mally being taken from his mother at nine weeks and then being abandoned by a douchetastic pop star. Good luck, Mally.

Who knows if Bieber is even still listening. At the moment, he’s preparing to perform in Norway where offiicals have rescheduled school exams just so legions of young fans can attend the concert without worrying about making poor scores. Sigh. In other Bieber news, TMZ has received word that his team is blaming Selena Gomez for all of Bieber’s recent drama. Really:

Justin Bieber has been spinning out of control not because he’s trying to “act like an adult,” not because his friends are a bad influence … but because he’s suffering his first case of heartbreak — courtesy of Selena Gomez — so say people who are in regular contact with the singer.

Our sources tell us … Justin was “torn apart” when Selena pulled the plug on their relationship in December, when she walked out on him in the middle of their Mexico vacation.

We’re told Justin feels “tortured,” because Selena has not made a clean break — far from it. We’re told she is regularly calling him and sending him mixed messages, and it’s been messing with his head.

That could explain why Justin went to Selena’s L.A. home last week, but hasn’t been seen there since.

Our sources say … the pot smoking in Newport Beach, the reckless driving and the fighting has all occurred after the split, and they say it’s very clear that Bieber is holding a lot of anger that he’s releasing … often inappropriately.

[From TMZ]

For what it’s worth, Selena has already denied that she’s been contacting Justin at all. Now let me get this absolutely straight — it’s all Selena’s fault that Justin spits in people’s faces and threatens to kill them, cancels concerts (or shows up two hours late), and does silly things like wear a gas mask in London while heading towards an almost certain meltdown of epic proportions? That’s a bit of a stretch, to say the very least. I mean, she totally made him cry and then laughed about it, but bitch, please. Bieber needs to take responsibility for his own actions, but that won’t happen while he’s surrounded by sycophantic booty kissers. Maybe Justin still really is upset about Selena breaking off their relationship (after all, he did try to give her a puppy last week), but that is no excuse at all for his behavior.
