Selena Gomez Not Allowed Into Russia Because She Supports Gay Rights

 

While most of Europe welcomed Selena with open arms when she traveled the continent on her ‘Stars Dance’ tour, Russia was not so eager to greet her. Sel was set to perform two concerts in the former communist nation in September, but Russian officials have turned down her visa request, apparently because Selena supports gay rights. How shocking!

Selena Gomez may be America’s sweetheart, but Russia is not too fond of the 21-year-old actress and singer. Organizers for the two concerts Selena had scheduled at St. Petersburg’s Ice Palace on Sept. 23 and Moscow’s Olimiisky stadium on Sept. 25 told The Moscow Times that Russian officials denied Sel’s request to enter the country under its new anti-gay law. Read on for more details.

Selena Gomez: Russia Banned Selly For Gay Rights Stance — Concert Cancelled

Poor Selena had to cancel both of the tour stops and she is no longer going to Russia, her rep tells E! News. U.S. gay rights activist John Becker, who started a Change.org petition asking Selena to speak out for gay Russians when she performed in the country, tells E! News in a statement:

This cancellation of Selena Gomez’s visa shows that the Russian government is sensitive and on the defence, and shows that the pressure from people all around the world and the backlash against these laws is strong. They’re afraid to have someone like Selena Gomez come in and potentially use her platform to advance LGBT rights.

Wow! It’s hard to believe Russia could be afraid of innocent little Selena — especially when she is only trying to send a positive message to the world. It’s so sad that her Russian fans won’t get to see her because of this.

Russian Government Threatens To Sue Madonna & Lady Gaga For Pro-Gay Displays

Selena isn’t the first gay rights supporter to face a backlash from Russia. After Madonna and Lady Gaga showed some love for Russia’s gay community during 2012 concerts in the country, the Russian government threatened to sue the entertainers for performing without proper documentation. And some Russian activists actually did sue Madonna, claiming she was promoting homosexuality to children, according to E! News. We can’t believe it!

Ariana Grande Is Dating The Wanted’s Nathan Sykes

 

It’s official! After weeks of rumours that the two singers were dating, fans’ wishes came true when Ariana and Nathan announced their relationship via Twitter on Sept. 24. We couldn’t be happier for them!

Ever since they co-starred in the sensual music video for their song, “Almost Is Never Enough,” we’ve been rooting for Ariana Grande and The Wanted‘s Nathan Sykes to continue their chemistry off-screen. It seems Nathan could no longer contain his excitement over being with Ariana, so he shared the “happy” news in a tweet! Read on for more details.

Ariana Grande & Nathan Sykes Dating — Couple Announces Their Romance On Twitter

Nathan, 20, wants the world to know how smitten he is with Ariana, also 20.
He tweeted, “So, I guess it’s obvious now … 🙈 thanks to everyone who is being so lovely. I’m so happy ❤️ #butweareterrified #pleasedontkillme #orariana”
So sweet! Ariana followed up by tweeting, “we hesitated saying anything as people can be a bit insensitive but thank u ♡ we value all of your happiness, thank you for valuing ours 💕:)”
Ariana and Nathan were obviously nervous about taking the plunge, so it’s terrific that everyone is being supportive of their romance so far. Nathan’s bandmate, Max George, even tweeted his approval, saying, “@NathanTheWanted @ArianaGrande very happy for you little brother. She’s a sweetheart :)”
We’re not at all surprised these two finally got together. Ariana has never been shy about showing how much she admires Nathan, and she even gushed about his singing on their duet, ”Almost Is Never Enough,” in an interview with MTV News:

Nathan just sang the hell out of it. I thought it was Brian McKnight. I’m like, ‘Who is this?’ Honestly, I wasn’t expecting it. I didn’t know he had that in him. I saw him perform live on one of the radio shows that we were at together, and I was like, ‘Damn, he can sing.’ This song I think will pleasantly surprise a lot of people. It’s very beautiful and very emotional and I love, love, love what Nathan did to it. It was a great, great, great surprise.

We hope this adorable new couple will collaborate on more songs in the future because they obviously make beautiful music together!

Ariana Grande Puts Justin Bieber Dating Rumors To Rest

Justin Bieber fans freaked when Ariana posted an Instagram picture of him kissing her on the cheek while they were hanging out. Many passionate Jelana fans were less than thrilled about seeing Justin cozying up to Ariana and they sent angry messages to her on Twitter, leading her to tweet, “Everyone, girls are allowed to be friends with guys. I’m a lady. Chill out.”
Now that Ariana is dating Nathan, it looks like Jelena fans can relax. We think Ariana and Nathan make a better match anyway!
Do Ariana and Nathan make a cute couple? What do you think? Leave us a comment :)

Selena Gomez: Get Her Pretty Printed Dress For Under $65 — SHOP

Selena posed for the camera with fans in an adorable blue-printed frock in Portugal on Sept. 12. But here’s the even better news — you can look as stunning as she did for a VERY small price!
Selena Gomez is touring around the world right now, but it looks like she’s made time to do a little shopping! Fresh off a stop in London, the 21-year-old was spotted taking photos with fans on Sept. 12 in a blue-printed dress from the UK store Motel Rocks.

Selena Gomez: Get Her Pretty Printed Dress For Under $65

Selena never disappoints when it comes her style. The brunette beauty is always dressed to the nines, and (bonus!) in affordable wear.
On Sept. 12, Selena posted pics of herself posing with fans after her concert in Lisbon, Portugal. The songstress was wearing a blue-printed babydoll dress, which you can order online for £40.00 ($63.19) HERE.
The Motel Penny Babydoll Dress (in Mandala Print) is perfect for warm weather and can be easily dressed up or down. While the print itself is enough — so remember to keep accessories to a minimum — the back has a cute exposed zipper.
Even though Selena was spotted in London wearing all black just a few days ago, we love how she’s not afraid to be daring and wear a pretty print.

Selena Gomez Wants To Design ‘Edgier’ Clothes

In an interview with the radio station Kiss FM in London, Selena discussed her clothing line and revealed that she hopes to do more in the fashion industry in the near future.
“I have my clothing line that’s been going on in the states. It’s been going really well and it’s probably one of the best things I’ve been part of,” she said in the interview. “I want to do something a bit more edgier.”
We love how Selena is becoming such a style icon. She definitely knows what to wear and when.
What do you think? Do you love Selena’s blue-printed dress?

'You Ripped My Heart Out': Demi Lovato Reduced To Tears As The X Factor USA Returns

Demi Lovato is excited about the talent on this third season of "X Factor."
On audition in particular moved Demi to tears during the September 11, 2013 season premiere. Lillie McCloud, a 54-year-old grandmother, performed a soulful rendition of CeCe Winans' "Alabaster Box" that earned a standing ovation from the judges.
Kelly Rowland, who had also been wiping away tears during the performance, commented, "the fact that you sang to people a song they didn't know, and y'all could feel that. Every single part of this room, you touched with your voice."
Simon Cowell remarked, "you absolutely nailed it. It really was that good."
Demi remarked, "oh my God. Ripped my heart out of my chest. And I feel like I'm listening to Whitney [Houston]. And I feel like maybe your time wasn't supposed to happen until now."
Paulina Rubo asked the judges to vote, but felt that it wasn't necessary since it was quite obvious that Lillie had nailed her audition.
All four judges voted Lillie through to the next round.
After the show, Demi tweeted, "Yayyy Lillie McCloud!!!!!!"
Part 2 of the "X Factor" season premiere airs Thursday September 12 at 8/7c on FOX.

Demi Lovato joins the "Glee" cast

Demi Lovato will play Naya Rivera'slove interest on her upcoming Glee guest arc, Rivera told MTV at Sunday's Video Music Awards.

"I'm very, very excited about that," Rivera, who plays Santana on the series, said. "We get to sing a song together. It's gonna be good. I'm excited to work with her. We're bringing her to the dark side."

She added:

She comes in in a Beatles episode, so [we're singing] a Beatles song. I'm excited.

'I Loved It!' Selena Gomez Defends Miley Cyrus' VMAs Performance

Miley Cyrus may have shocked everyone from Taylor Swift to Will Smith and his kids with her outlandish MTV VMAs performance on Sunday night but her grinding and tongue flashing had at least one fan in the star-studded audience- her pal Selena Gomez.
The Come & Get It star has praised Miley's headline-grabbing performance of We Can't Stop, which also saw her team up with Robin Thicke for his hit Blurred Lines.
Speaking backstage to E! News, Selena insisted it was a great performance from Miley and was her favourite moment of the entire show:
"I really thought the collaboration with Miley was amazing … Loved [it]," Gomez declared. She added of Thicke failing to win any major awards: "I thought Robin should have won!"
Not everyone shared her enthusiasm though with Taylor Swift, who was sat next to Selena, caught giggling throughout the performance.

 

And T-Swizzle wasn't the only left stunned! The performance was sprinkled with shots of the unimpressed crowds, with Rihanna looked barely amused by a wayward Cyrus, while One Direction appeared to be desperately holding back their laughter.
Miley's devoted dad though didn't seem to notice, or care, about his daughter's controversial live comeback as he simply tweeted last night: "Thanking God for so many blessings tonight. Continue to pray for world peace. More love ...less hate."
The vague tweet makes no reference to Miley or the VMAs but the coincidental timing, just hours after the VMAs, suggests Billy could have been referring to his daughter's headline-grabbing act.

Demi Lovato Promises A ‘Softer Side’ To Simon Cowell

X Factor judge Demi Lovato said that fans will see a “softer side” of famously cantankerous judge Simon Cowell in coming seasons after she managed to crack his acerbic “tough guy” exterior.

 

“I think we’ve cracked his shell a little bit,” Lovato told E! News of her co-host.
“I think people are going to see that he’s actually a really nice guy. It doesn’t mean he’s going to be any more polite to contestants that he doesn’t think are talented. But people are going to see a softer side of him definitely this year.
Lovato and Cowell have become well-known for their sometimes-heated onscreen bouts, but the 20-year-old singer says that she believes she has finally rubbed off on him in a positive way.
“People are surprised, and I was definitely surprised — especially after working with him for so long, too. He’s just continued to surprise me… in being just a really great person and he’s really sensitive and he’s a good guy and people only see the really mean Simon on TV. The thing is he’s just saying what all of us are thinking anyways.”
Cowell became famous in the public mind for his often brutally honest critiques of music hopefuls on shows like American Idol and Britain’s Got Talent. Though his crankiness is part of his appeal, it might be interesting to see him dole out as much encouragement as criticism in coming seasons of The X Factor.

Ariana Grande Releases Flirty New Song ‘Baby I’ — Listen

 

 

The full version of Ariana’s new single ‘Baby I’ is here, and we can’t get enough of it. It’s a flirty pop song that’s perfect for summer, so listen & love!

Ariana Grande released a new song “Baby I” on July 22 — the latest single off her debut album — and it’s everything we wanted and more. The 20-year-old singer proves she’s got some major pipes with this sure-to-be radio hit!

Ariana Debuts New Single ‘Baby I’

Ariana’s newest single is the perfect follow-up to her breakout hit “The Way.” It’s the kind of song that begs to be blasted on your iPod or radio, and once again, she sounds a lot like a young Mariah Carey.

Less than one day after “Baby I” was released, the song already hit the top three on the iTunes charts! Ariana tweeted about her new hit song on July 22: “Every little girl has a dream and you’re helping me live mine! I’m gagging that’s so cheesy but very true. A sincere thank u for everything.”

Even mega pop stars like Justin Bieber voiced their congrats to Ariana on her hit single: “I see everyone going crazy over your new song. You can sing! See u on the #BelieveTour . Congrats!” Ariana is the opening act for the Biebs on the last three dates on his world tour.

From just these two singles alone, Ariana’s got a long and successful career ahead of her in music. Her debut album Daydreamin’ will be released later this year.

What do YOU think of Ariana’s new single? Doesn’t she sound like Mariah Carey? Let us know what you think!

 

 

Demi Lovato ‘proud of Disney peers’

 

Demi Lovato cheers on her former Disney competition as they all carve out adult careers for themselves.

The 20-year-old singer rose to fame starring in several TV series on the Disney Channel. The Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez also kick-started their careers working for the child entertainment giant.

All of these Disney celebrities have thus far proven to be very successful entertainers in adulthood and Demi doesn’t covet anyone’s prosperity.

Although she confesses she has a naturally ambitious nature, Demi won’t ever talk down on her Mickey Mouse peers.

"I'm so excited for Selena, I'm so excited for Miley..." Demi told MTV News. "I get competitive as much as I love them. I do get competitive so I have to focus on myself and just be like it doesn't matter who has what, we are all equally successful, and in our lives it's a huge blessing. I'm so proud of everyone."

Demi briefly dated Joe Jonas in 2010, but the pair remain on good terms.

Apparently she is also great friends with Joe’s brothers Nick and Kevin.

"I really only hang out with Nick," Demi explained. "I'm cool with all of them. I'm really cool with all of them, but Nick is one of my really, really, really good friends. We don't get to see each other often but [when we do] it's so much fun.”

Demi, Selena and Miley have all been nominated to receive a trophy at the 2013 MTV Music Video Awards. The hip annual event will take place Sunday August 25 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

Trying again? Selena Gomez 'takes Justin Bieber back as he promises to put a stop to recent wild antics'

Only this week a video emerged of Justin Bieber urinating in public and launching a verbal attack on a former US president, but according to insiders the teen star has vowed to put a stop to his wild behaviour, all to win back ex girlfriend Selena Gomez.
The couple have been embroiled in an on/off relationship for over two years but following their latest split in December 2012, Justin’s behaviour has spiraled out of control.
Turning up late to concerts, angering his neighbours with his driving skills and allegations of marijuana use are just some of the antics that have hit headlines in recent months.

Back on? Selena Gomez has taken Justin Bieber after he promised to clean up his act, according to insiders

Following Justin’s hint last week that he is back with gorgeous Selena, it looks like he’s finally waving goodbye to his bad boy behaviour.
Justin appeared to confirm the reconciliation with a not too subtle Instagram photo on July 5th, which saw the singer posing alongside Selena, with the caption '#heartbreaker'.
According to sources the romance is back on, but Selena held out on a reunion for so long because of her ex’s recent controversial behaviour.

TMZ report that Justin was ‘able to change her mind’ and on July 4th ‘he won her back’ by promising to clean up his act.
Meanwhile, Selena's friends have reportedly responded in dismay over the apparent reconciliation.
'Selena’s friends have stuck by her through thick and thin, but the whole back-and-forth relationship with Bieber is really starting to wear on then,' a source told RadarOnline.com.
'None of her friends really like Justin, or at least they don't like Selena with Justin,' the source added. 'It's just not a healthy relationship.'



The brunette took a break from her love life drama on Wednesday as she stepped out for a family outing with her step-dad Brian.
The two giggled as they walked past photographers on their arrival in Los Angeles, California, on Wednesday.
The 20-year-old wrapped an arm around that of her stepdad, who guided her past the paparazzi.
The Disney pop star has plenty to smile about following the arrival of her new sibling.
Brian and her mother Mandy welcomed little Gracie Elliot Teefey on June 12, and Selena has already being spotted playing the doting big sister with the tiny tot.
And it looks as if Brian is helping out with parenting duties while Mandy tends to  their newborn - accompanying his stepdaughter on her trip to Europe.
Selena was back in Los Angeles after spending a few days in Germany promoting her fashion line with Adidas.

Demi Lovato: 'If you want to be famous, just make a sex tape'

 

 

Good evening Demi. Your new album is far better than your last. Did you realise this while you were recording it?

"Well, thank you. When I finished the last album I thought it was great for a while, but I got sick of the songs a lot faster than with my others so I figured maybe it wasn't my best. When I went to record this one, I knew I had to have songs that excited me. As well as just better songs. If I want to be a pop artist, I have to make catchy songs."

 

You recently said fame adds 10 years. Now you're 20, so what's it like being 30?

"Well I feel 40, never mind 30! It feels pretty good though."

 

Do you like getting older?

"I feel like getting older is a privilege, and I'm thankful to have every single day. If I were to be able to live until I'm actually 30 that would be a huge blessing in itself."

 

How does it feel to be the subject of an intervention?

"That wasn't the only time it had ever happened, I was just really good at manipulating the people around me, telling them I was fine. And then I'd get help in a different way. The first few ones were a little surprising, but the final one was … expected. And I had no other choice."

 

Was it a relief?

"Yeah. There's a secret relief where you just feel like: "OK, time for somebody else to be taking the reins of my life for me."

 

If you have a daughter, and if when she's 15 she says "I want to be famous", what will you say?

"When people say "I want to be famous – I want to be a star", you have to ask: "What are your intentions? If you just want to be famous, make a sex tape." So what I'd say is, if you're doing it because you want to be a respected actress or musician, follow your dream. If you just want paparazzi following you, rethink what's going on in your little head. It's crazy how people confuse the two nowadays."

 

Do you feel a bit jealous that Daft Punk could send out other people to do all their public appearances?

"I'm completely jealous of that – mainly because they could go to a restaurant on a date without people coming up to them and making them feel weird."

 

That's assuming they don't wear their helmets on dates

"That is assuming that, yes."

 

If you were in a restaurant and your date wore a robot helmet, what would you do?

"I would probably leave. "

 

He's a very private celebrity, but do you have any good gossip about Barney?

"Well. Barney the Dinosaur is a dinosaur that is real. I don't know if you're trying to get any gossip about that. But if Barney was fake – and I'm not confirming or denying that, and I'm not suggesting that I may have had to sign a confidentiality agreement saying I'd never say he wasn't real – I would imagine him to be very attractive. Because he'd have to be a muscular guy to carry that suit. And he'd happen to also have a really good-looking face. And he may or may not have been my crush when I was growing up working on that show. That's if Barney was fake."

 

So this hypothetical Barney was really hot?
"I'm just saying that if Barney wasn't real that might have been the scenario, but I'm not confirming or denying that."

 

Who's easier to work with out of Barney and your fellow US X Factor judge Simon Cowell?
"Definitely Barney."

 

Can you confirm or deny that Simon Cowell is real?
"I think he is – I haven't seen a really good-looking muscular guy inside … [slightly hysterical nervous titter] his, um, suit."

 

I might start a Kickstarter to fund a new Camp Rock film. How much will you pledge?
"Honestly, I probably wouldn't put in any money. In fact I definitely wouldn't. As much as I love Disney Channel and what they've done for me, it's a chapter that's closed. And I'm very glad that it is."

 

One old Disney bigwig said you had a voice like you'd "swallowed Pat Benatar". Which current pop artist would you most like to eat?
"Someone said that? [Laughs] Well, I grew up listening to them so if I could swallow Kelly Clarkson and Christina Aguilera that would be great."

 

You've put the two best songs from your last album on the end of your new album. Isn't that cheating?

"Is it cheating? Or is it smart? That's the real question, my friend."

 

If I instructed you now to form a girlband with two other female artists, who would you choose as the Kellys and Michelles to your Beyoncé?
"It would never happen but I'd form a group featuring me, Miley, Selena and Taylor. That would be pretty epic."

 

Finally, will you still sing Heart Attack when you're at an age when the risk of heart disease is more acute?
"Hopefully I'll stop singing it a long time before then, but yes – I won't be singing that song in a nursing home any time soon."

Stay Strong Demi - Demi Lovato's Biological Father Has Passed Away!

Selena Gomez and Baby Sister Gracie Elliot Teefey: See the Pics of the Siblings!

Looks like Selena Gomez loves being a big sister!
We have exclusively obtained the photos of the singer and her new baby sister, Gracie Elliott, and they're even more adorable than you could imagine.
The pop star's mother, Mandy Cornett, along with Cornett's husband Brian Teefey visited Selena at work in Malibu while the brunette beauty was on her lunch break for a shoot for her Dream Out Loud clothing line.
According to an eyewitness, Selena "ran out of the studio door as fast as she could when she realized her mother brought the baby...She was so excited to be a big sister."
We can tell! And it looks like her motherly instincts have already kicked in.
"Even though the baby didn't realize what was going on, Selena was making faces, waving her hands…Her mom Mandy looked great and happy" the insider adds. 
The brunette beauty smiled and laughed as she held the little one close. She didn't feed the baby during her break (let's leave that to mom!), but she enjoyed snapping pics with her sister.
"Selena loved taking selfies of her and the baby," the eyewitness said. "After each shot she showed her mom...she got the photo she wanted on the third try."
And of course, the doting sibling made sure to give her sis a kiss goodbye before she headed back to work.
Cornett welcomed her first child with Teefey just nine days ago. Little Gracie is Selena's first sibling.
"Momma, Brian, and me are all so grateful for all your well wishes," the "Come and Get It" singer tweeted after the baby's arrival. "My lil sissy Gracie Elliot Teefey was born on June 12th. Luv you all XO." Check out the snaps below:

Demi Lovato: I Want My Own Barbie Doll — But It Must Be My Actual Body Type

Demi Lovato wants her own Barbie doll — but only if it captures her real figure.
The singer, who’s openly discussed her lifelong struggle with body issues, took to Twitter on Monday to express her special birthday wish (although the big milestone isn’t for two months).

“1 of my biggest dreams, having collected Barbies since I was a kid, is to have my own Barbie BUT with my actual body type.. Weight & height,” wrote Lovato.

She implored her fans to help make it happen, tweeting, “Lovatics!!! Blow up @BarbieStyle to make it happen!!!! That would be one dope 21st birthday!! Hahaha.”

“Also, Barbie should make dolls with cellulite!!! Hahaha!!! After all, around 95% of ALL women have it!!!” added Lovato, who went on to retweet several of her followers’ supportive messages on the issue.




The “X Factor” judge has been an outspoken advocate for healthy portrayals of girls’ and women’s bodies in the media for quite some time.
Back in 2011, Lovato blasted The Disney Channel  - her former employer - for airing a joke about eating disorders on “Shake It Up.”

Demi Lovato: My Mom Hates My Tattoos

 

The American star has around 12 inking's on her body, some of which she regrets. Last year she claimed she might get some removed when she is older, but that hasn't stopped the 20-year-old singer adding to her collection.
In November she had 12 birds tattooed on her lower right arm by Kat Von D, something her mother was horrified about when she first saw it.

"Um, more like a day or so," Demi told Heat magazine, when asked how long they didn't talk for. "I went over to my mom's and I had it bandaged up, which probably made it look bigger than it was, so she just thought I'd got a half sleeve or something! She didn't react well and I ended up leaving. It was pretty bad."

Demi sees permanent inkings as an art form, but no matter how hard she tries, her mother Dianna won't see her point of view. That said, Dianna doesn't mind quite so much when her daughter brands herself discreetly. The star's father Patrick also disapproves, but tackles his feelings in a different way.

"My mom and I got into a huge fight when I got the birds on my arms, just because she has a different perception of tattoos than my generation does," Demi explained. "And so it's hard to explain to her that it's like art for your skin and you don't have to draw it on every day. It's something that's meaningful. My mom and dad get so mad! When it's littler ones, my mom doesn't mind so much, but we got into a huge fight over this.

"My dad still, to this day, has not mentioned anything about my tattoo, which is pretty funny."
Demi enjoyed a great deal of success last year, appearing on the panel of the US X Factor. Simon Cowell is her co-judge and was thrilled with how well she did in her first season, so she is coming back for another round of shows.

The young star gets on well with the music mogul, with the pair teasing each other regularly. Although they are close, there are some things Demi draws the line at.
"At least $50 million," she replied, when asked how much it would take for her to get a tattoo of Simon's face. "Yeah, $50 million or $100 million."

Demi Lovato won't tour with new album: "It's a bit of a bummer"

Demi Lovato has revealed that she has no plans to tour with her new album Demi.

The singer explained that her commitments with The X Factor USA and upcoming surgery to have her tonsils removed mean she is unlikely to embark on a tour.

"Right now there are no plans to tour in the UK or anywhere - not even in the US," she told Digital Spy.

"You never know, I say that now and then I'll end up going on tour! I've got so many commitments and this summer I'm getting my tonsils out, so there's a whole process with that."

She added: "It's a little bit of a bummer but I'm sure I'll be fine within a few weeks - things could be worse!"

Lovato will play a one-off gig with Vevo at London's Porchester Hall on Friday, May 31.

What do you think? Will she change her mind or will she definitely not perform, let us know?

Selena Gomez is dating Justin Bieber on a 'Trial Period' to avoid a broken heart.

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez have kept gossip columns busy wondering whether they are an item or not for the past few weeks, but now insiders say the ex couple are indeed back together but for a "trial period only".

“Justin and Selena are dating but they are taking things slow,” a source has revealed.
“Coming back together now, the couple has years of experience and they're treating the relationship more maturely this time around. They now know what the stakes are.”

The pair first aroused suspicion that they were dating last month when Spring Breakers star Selena apparently joined Justin in Oslo while he was performing in Europe for his Believe World tour.

Eyewitnesses were quick to reveal that the pair where seen out and about looking mighty loved-up. However, despite the rumoured reunion, sources have revealed that Selena is keeping her heart well guarded and is taking things slow so she’s not left broken hearted.

"Selena is keeping her heart from being broken, so she is definitely looking at this as a trial period in their relationship. She's definitely taking [baby] steps back," they said.

"When they first started to date, it was amazing but they were too young and it was too much. They didn't even know what love was and she got all mixed up."

One person who might not be happy with Selena's rekindled romance will be BF Taylor Swift. The country singer apparently made her feelings clear when she stuck her tongue after her good pal and Justin embraced each other with a kiss at the Billboard Awards this month.

So, do you think that the relationship will last? Or is it just another fling. We wanna know..

Selena Gomez shares 6 seconds of next single “Slow Down”

 

Based on a six-second preview, Selena Gomez wants to pump up the volume with her next single “Slow Down.”
In a rehearsal video, likely for her forthcoming Stars Dance tour, backup dancers strike poses as the song plays. “… even though I’m ready for it, for it, for it,” Gomez sings as the song builds.

Selena Gomez, Billboard Music Award 2013 Outfit(s) Review

 

Outfit 1: Red Carpet Outfit

9/10

I think Selena looks amazing in this dress. She has chosen the perfect make-up to match this gown. Well done Selena.

By the way: FYI: Selena is wearing an Atelier Versace dress, Jimmy Choo shoes, and Neil Lane jewels.

 

 

 

Outfit 2: Dress worn to introduce Taylor Swifts "22" performance

9/10

Selena looks effortlessly flawless in this black gown. Almost full marks was awarded for her, but the only thing that marked her down was her make-up. I'd say she should remove the eyeshadow and stick with the basic make-up. But brilliant effort Selena! :)

 

 

 

Outfit 3: Selena's performance outfit

10/10

Full Marks Awarded For The Outfit Selena! The gold is a beautiful match for her slightly-tanned skin. Her hair falls perfectly beside her and her jewellery is a perfect colour for her whole outfit! Great matching skills, Sel!

Selena Gomez’s Billboard Music Awards Outfits: Which Dress Is Best?

The songstress managed to show off three totally different looks at the award show — but which one did you really like? VOTE!

Selena Gomez dressed to impress at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on May 19, where she showed off three seriously sexy looks.

Selena Gomez Billboard Music Awards 2013 Dress:

When she first hit the blue carpet the star donned a white hot Versace couture gown from the Spring 2013 collection. The sheer panels allowed her to show some cleavage while the neon piping added a flirty element to the ensemble. The 20-year-old star looked so sexy! A thigh-high slit added to the showy vibe of the ensemble.

Selena Gomez Billboard Awards ‘Come & Get It’ Performance Dress:

The next time Selena stepped out it was on stage, where she performed her latest hit “Come & Get It.” Selena stuck to the theme of the video and looked sexy in a gold bustier and flowing skirt that allowed her to put her legs on full display. The hardware on the bustier really stood out against Selena’s complexion. Although when she hit the blue carpet her hair was pulled back in a ponytail, Selena let her hair hang straight around her face to finish off the sexy performance look.

Selena Gomez Billboard Awards Dress:

Selena’s final frock of the night was a plunging black gown with sheer panels. The long-sleeved dress was sexy and sophisticated — I think this frock was my fave of the night! Although the star looked seriously sexy in the ensemble she did narrowly avoid a wardrobe malfunction in this look.
Which dress did you like best on Selena? VOTE!

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez Kiss Backstage at Billboard Awards: See Taylor Swift’s Hilarious and Disgusted Reaction!

"Jelena" the on-and-off couple shared a kiss backstage Sunday at the Billboard Music Awards.
Both had performed at the kudosfest, and—in a moment caught on video—both seemed more than happy to bump into each other later on, even as Selena's BFF Taylor Swift, who was walking alongside the "Come & Get It" singer, unleashed a facial expression that seemed to convey exactly what she thought of the impromptu meet up.
In the clip, Gomez can be seen running into the "Boyfriend" crooner and promptly putting her arm around his neck as they peck each other on the cheek.
As the two catch up, Swift sticks out her tongue and looks on, and eventually a member of Gomez's entourage tries to escort Gomez away while tugging at her arm.

What do you think? Are Jelena together forever this time? Or just for a month or two? Let us know.
