As of this writing, 12:15pm ET, “Jelena Is Back” is the #9 trending topic worldwide on Twitter. Jelena, of course, is Justin + Selena, and it’s because this is what Justin Bieber posted on Instagram last night.

But yesterday there was a report that Selena’s been flirting with a hockey player called Tom Wilson who plays for the Washington Capitals. It was subsequently revealed that Wilson has a girlfriend. However, in addition to that throwback shot, JB also posted these photos of himself playing hockey:
