Justin Bieber & Selena Gomez show their love on Instagram: is this a PR stunt?

Justin Bieber

On Friday, we discussed the heart-shattering news that Selena Gomez took back Justin Bieber as her lovah for the upteenth time. I’ve wasted more time scratching my head over this problem than I’d care to admit. Selena is supposedly exhausted and canceled an international tour to deal with her life. Instead of doing something productive, she’s hanging out with Justin on Instagram. Biebs captioned the above photo, “Love the way you look at me.”

*hurl*

One has to wonder what Selena could possibly be thinking to get back with Bieber. After Daddy made it rain for strippers and got caught sneaking out of a brothel, she still wanted to be with him. What could Selena possibly gain from being with Bieber? Surely his bedside manner isn’t that amazing. Gross.

The only possible scenario I can contemplate is that Justin’s people cut a deal with Selena. He needs all the good PR he can get, and she’s such a “good” girl. Here’s the thing: Justin’s Believe movie bombed big time compared to his 2011 movie, Never Say Never, which grossed $99 million. Believe has been out since Christmas day and hasn’t even cleared $6 million yet. All of Bieber’s whining about media bullying and threats of retirement haven’t helped at all. His fans have stopped buying concert tickets. He’s on the way out, and I can’t fathom why Selena would ever chain herself to such a sinking ship. My daughter adores Selena but is so bummed about this Bieber reunion.

Here are some blurry pics of Justin and Selena’s segway adventure from late last week. Our photo agencies got them after TMZ posted them. Better late than never? Segways are so douchey and always remind me of Niles Crane from Frasier and G.O.B. from Arrested Development. John Mayer used to ride around on one too, which makes them the offical douchemobile.

    To risk sounding like an idiot – what are those gold shoes?

    • Emma says:

      Same question I was asking. For a second, I inexplicably forgot what article I was reading, and concluded I was looking at a pic that Beyonce posted of shoes for her daughter.

    • Peanut says:

      Hahaha!! Baby Bieber shoes I guess?!

  2. Quinn says:

    Seriously, at this point…birds of a feather. I doubt Selena is any more of a “good girl” than any other star her age- and whether she’s returning to Bieber due to LUUUVVVEEE or publicity, she needs a proverbial ass-kicking either way.

    • Aussie girl says:

      There is a few blinds going around about her bad habits. All I know is if the girl cancelled her concert to have me time and focus on herself, why the fuck is she hanging around Justin? She is only getting bad PR from this, so I’m going with a drug habit combined with hanging out with the beibs. She looks codependent on him

  3. Rachel says:

    I don’t get it. This CAN’T be good for her image so why is she continuing this? She’s kind of pathetic…

    • Spooks says:

      Why are you all acting like she’s better than him and he needs her? She wouldn’t be a thing if it wasn’t for him. He’s a colossal moron, but at least he has some talent. She has none. She is a pretty girl who can”t dance, can’t sing, can’t act, doesn’t write her song, nothing. Zero. Nada. She needs him just as much as he needs her.

      • Leslie says:

        @Spooks–I agree. He does have a grain of talent. She has none.

      • Caroline says:

        I agree with this statement so much! While Selena is cute, she would’ve faded away without the publicity that dating Justin gave her. She made the first move for sure.

  4. Stef Leppard says:

    Gah. He’s so self-absorbed. “Love the way you look at me”? It’s all about him. She needs to get over her Biebdong obsession and find someone who is capable of caring about someone besides himself.

    • Pri says:

      Exactly!That caption says it all. If she can’t see the problem with it, I can only feel sorry for her.

    • Hakura says:

      The only thing I can possibly figure is that Pissbucket Brothelbum is the best sexual partner she’s ever had (so she keeps going back for more). Which, if true, obviously means he’s the only guy she’s ever slept with.

  5. Sabrina says:

    Although I would love for this to be a PR stunt it seems real to me. Being with Bieber does nothing positive for Selena’s image so I can’t see how this could be considered good PR for her. This makes her look like an idiot.

    • We Are All Made of Stars says:

      Yeah…. I kind of have to agree that that makes the most sense. Maybe her concert failed, and she went back to him for comfort and to maintain relevancy? She is starting to crack lately. I think she is entering a downward spiral as well. Shame. Hope she comes out of it okay.

      • Tapioca says:

        Apparently a lot of Aussies are Selena Gomez fans (go figure!) and the concert dates were selling well, so the cancellations were definitely down to personal issues.

        I can’t imagine how being around Baby Biebs is going to help, whatever her actual issues may have been.

      • Hakura says:

        I don’t know if this is a plausible possibility, but I’ve started to wonder if she was simply feeling lonely & depressed (plus stressed out & under pressure bc of the rapidly approaching tour starting), & missed Pissbucket in a moment of weakness… So she made up some health excuse in order to have time to be with him (not unlike Gaga with her oh-so-serious ‘hip-surgery’).

        Being seen back together out having fun so soon after canceling the tour, it creates a bad image & could cause fans to question her motives.

  6. Talie says:

    Does she really have Lupus or is that just gossip?

  7. don't kill me i'm french says:

    some reports say it’s a RP stunt since the begining and it was him who was really into her

    maybe he’s her favorite mistake or her “you know he’s bad for you but you can’t resist”

  8. aquarius64 says:

    PR for Bieber because his movie tanked and he still has negative publicity stank.

    Selena – she’s crotch-matized. That’s all I got.

  9. doofus says:

    I firmly believe that she is getting paid to “rehab” his image. when they were together people had a much more positive image of him. he’s since trashed that with his behavior and his team is probably grasping at anything they can to make him look better.

    or, she’s a glutton for punishment.

    • Leila in wunderland says:

      I don’t think she’ll be able to change public perception of him.

      • doofus says:

        oh, I agree, but his management has already proven they ain’t too smart.

      • Hakura says:

        @Leila – I’m not so sure. While its definitely true that no amount of rehab will redeem him in the eyes of we Celebitches (or anyone else that has even a little common sense), I don’t think it would be *impossible* to earn back some of his former fans.

        If he & Selena present themselves as a (drug-free) ‘lovey-dovey monogamous committed cavity-inducing teeny-bopper romance’, & he stops doing stupid shit for awhile, I could see some using that to justify giving him another chance. Plus some people prefer fangirling couples, as opposed to either person alone, so will get pulled back into supporting them both. They’d all just idiotically assume ‘Hey! Selenas’ been a ‘good influence’, she straitened him out… he’s a totally ‘new’ person!’

  10. CaribbeanLaura says:

    Selena doesn’t offend me too much personally. Her songs on the other hand!! Her singing voice is exactly like her speaking voice which annoys me to no end. Bieber howver is the bane of my existence.

  11. Jassy says:

    of course she gets back with bieber for press after the whole lip synching and tour fail. her star is fading so this is perfect.

    • Hakura says:

      I guess she didn’t expect her ‘star’ to fade before it got a chance to ‘dance’. (I know I know, corny play on her album title, couldnt resist.)

  12. St says:

    So weird. She has so much to lose. So much hard earned respect was lost on that moment when those pictures first appeared. Mila Kunis lost so much when she got together with Ashton. She was respected actress after Black Swan and next big thing. And now she basically is “that one that dates idiot and loser Ashton Kutsher”.

    What’s the point in it for Selena? Eternal love? It did not work for last 10 times they were dating. Why would it work now. She will hang out with him for some time and then will dump him again and will look very stupid.

    Beieber is beyond saving. Nothing can save him or his career. Even if he will dress up normally and will try to behave it won’t help – that ship has sailed away. He is gross, he get too old to be teen idol every month. Some teens grow up, some will find another teen idol to adore and Bieber will never get adult fans. It will be only down hill from here.

    • Norman says:

      Your right. With the exception of HollywoodLife.com in which everyone is beyond thrilled, all the other entertainment aggregate websites have mostly negative reactions to Selena getting back with JB. Selena Gomez does have a lot to loose and in between her sudden tour cancellation and her seemingly reignited relationship with Justin Bieber she may have just divided and lost a lot of her audience. Bieber’s career is on the decline. Between his own antics, his crazy fan(atics), and his thugish body guards, Justin has little to loose within his career slide and if Selina thinks she can save Justin Bieber, she is mistaken and her fans will let her know that. If she ignores the fans that she says cares for each and every one of for to long, this may sadly signal the decline of her own career and a rough 2014, something that she does not need after a difficult latter 2013.
