We are now at the mid-point of summer. I just wanted them to make it through the summer. Two weeks ago, Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber were about to break. But teens are mercurial. It takes a lot of temporary breaks to get to a permanent one.  And besides the love is so strong! At least right now it is. Full Story

Entertainment shows, magazines, and blogs have been on high alert for several weeks re: Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber and whether or not they’re breaking up. Click here for my last post about their fragile young love. There have been signs for a while now that we’re well past the midpoint of the relationship, heading rapidly towards its inevitable conclusion. Full Story

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez showed up to support Katy Perry last night at the premiere of her tour documentary Part Of Me which, I’m sorry for disappointing you, I really, really want to see. Because I will watch any “behind-the-scenes” tour movie. From Truth Or Dare to Never Say Never, I’ve almost watched them all. Full Story

Let’s start with Carly Rae Jepsen who was the big winner last night at the MuchMusic Video Awards in Toronto. As I’ve been mentioning, mostly in Smutty Tingles lately, I am not tired of that song yet. Still. Not even close. In fact, all I want to do is listen to it over and over again especially when I’m running which is why I have to resist the urge to just have it on repeat on my iPod. Full Story

Justin Bieber has pretty much owned the world the last 2 years. And through it all, including what amounted to a bogus paternity claim, Team Bieber has never wavered - not a stumble, not a break in stride, not a crack in the facade. But it happens to all of them. You know. When they start that young and when it happens so fast, it will always happen to all of them. Full Story

I LOVE these pictures of Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber at the Laker game last night. Because obviously I’m obsessed with them, but also because of the Photo Assumption you can apply to Selena’s face when a young fan approaches for a photo. Adversaries come in all ages and sizes. Selena and Justin were then asked to kiss for the camera. Full Story

My friend Lorella emailed me earlier today with one of these photos attached and the following message:OMG. At first I thought this was JLo. God I’m so embarrassed for her. I laughed for an hour. Anyway, it’s obviously not JLo and the backup dancer, no. Here are Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber enjoying an economical picnic yesterday in LA. Full Story

I can’t find the snark and I won’t try and I won’t lie: I am obsessed with Gangster Franco. Like, I think I might love him. Gangster Franco > Casper SmartRIGHT????????This is the first time I’ve ever wanted to be Selena Gomez. No, I’m not sure what James Franco is doing in a movie (Spring Breakers) starring Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens that, so far at least, has them running around in bikinis the whole time. Full Story

Canadian Idol’s Carly Rae Jepsen was just signed to Justin Bieber’s label. It’s a big deal. It’s an even bigger deal when Justin, his gf, and all their friends pretty much make your video. Please.Sasha’s in Mexico on holiday with her husband. Apparently, per Twitter, they just got dreadlocks...? If she were here though, if she were at home, she and I would be playing this over and over and over for each other. Full Story

There is a world in which Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber are considered adults - parental figures, even if for just one day, to those for whom these two could, mathematically and biologically, be mommy and daddy.Here they are spending the weekend in Malibu with Bieber’s siblings, Jaxon and Jazmyn. (I will not comment on these names or the spelling of them but sometimes I wish blogging could come with facial expressions. Full Story

Dear Dads: if you buy Justin Bieber’s fragrance for your daughters it means they won’t get down with Scott/Chad/Todd in the back of car without a condom...This, basically, is the message, isn’t it? Needless to say, it’s funnier to the 14 year old than to the 40 year old. At the same time, I wonder what it’s like these days for the teenage boy: do they really have to live up to. Full Story

Are you going to deny that you didn’t notice his hand on her thigh while he’s taking a picture of her? Fine. I’ll admit it for all of us. Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez have been in Mexico together the last few days. They were photographed yesterday admiring each other in the sun. Allow me please to appreciate the relative modesty of her bikini, if there is such a thing. Full Story

Another problem with the American Music Awards last night? Um, totally not enough Justin and Selena. What’s the fixation? As Sasha wrote to me over bbm last night - it’s like we’ve been invited along on their prom date, ok? And the theme at the AMAs was The Great Gatsby.I’m 16 years old, I love high school movies, especially if there’s dancing, and right now I am looking at him looking at her and It’s. Full Story

What I did enjoy about the American Music Awards last night is how all the girls - Nicki Minaj, Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, and Katy Perry - seemed to enjoy hanging out with each other, shouting out each other, being goofy together. I also really like the way Taylor Swift sings the words to every one else’s songs. Full Story
