Are the Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez PDA Campaigns Going Too Far? Is it Still Believable?

We all know that Hollywood stars need a little public relations boost every now and then.

And we know that troubled celebrities frequently hire PR firms to help improve their image.

But have Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez gone too far in their efforts to portray themselves as normal teenage idols? Kissing, butt grabbing, straddling each other – is it too much?

Have their handlers gone too far?

Since the couples last vacation in Hawaii, Gomez has received numerous death threats on twitter and Facebook - and it’s not the first time either.


When Bieber and Gomez first tried keeping their relationship secret, thousands of the “Wizards of Waverly Place” stars fans took to the internet threatening the actress – telling her to back away from the Bieb’s.

There are lots of reasons why Justin needs to be seen with a pretty Hollywood starlet – foremost to help boost his image as a ladies man, and try to dispel any rumors that he may be gay – not that there’s anything wrong with that.

There is even some evidence that Disney would benefit from their starlet Selena Gomez being seen with a popular male celebrity to show her fans she is a normal teenage girl.


But would Disney and Bieber’s team go as far as create certain photo opportunities of the two love birds engaged in very public displays of affection just to give the appearance that they are normal kids in love?

Yes.

During the 70’s and 80’s, Disney was known for showing their gay male actors in photos displaying them around sexy women and manly kinds of activities.

Menudo, a popular teen boy band of the 1970’s did the same thing.

In fact, now openly gay ex-Menudo singer Rickey Martin says his handlers went to great lengths to show him with beautiful girls and participating in masculine events like basketball and football games. He was 15-years-old at the time.

Also, now openly gay actor Chad Allen also recounts how his management team was concerned that he needed to be photographed with girls in an attempt to show his manliness and normalcy.

So are Bieber and Gomez trying to hide something?

Probably not.

But the recent string of photos from Hawaii showing the two engaged in butt grabbing, straddling each other, and passionate kissing may be a little overkill.

The two were seen kissing on a pathway, the Jet Ski booth, on the Jet Ski, on the beach, in the water, parasailing, at dinner, in a car, at the mall, and a few other places.

Really? Is this believable or just a publicity stunt?

When you were 18 did you paw over your girlfriend this way in public? Does your son or daughter act like this when they are at the mall with their significant other?

You can also tell that these photos were planned and not taken by some misfit paparazzi sneaking around in the bushes.

Neither Bieber nor Gomez seems to acknowledge the cameras which tell us they know that they are there, and know they are being photographed. This last batch had over 75 high quality photos – no paparazzi gets a chance to snap that many before being asked to go away.

There were also several very clear shots of JB’s new Hebrew “Jesus” tattoo.

It just seems to be overkill. It seems the powers who are pulling the puppet strings behind the magic curtain have decided that Bieber will be seen in public kissing Selena – and nothing is off limits.

Perhaps this is what it takes in the music industry these days to stay on the top of your game, or maybe it really is teenage puppy love “coincidently” being caught on film.

Maybe this is some type of public relations transition program to get the two propelled out of their teen careers and catapulted into the next phase of stardom.

If it is, we hope it works for the both of them.

Sean Kingston Critically Injured in Jet Ski Accident Near Miami Beach

Update 1: Sean is out of the Trauma ward and has been moved to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU)
------
Rapper Sean Kingston is in critical condition in a Miami hospital.

Local news is reporting that Kingston and a female companion were thrown from a jet ski after hitting a concrete bridge Sunday evening near Miami Beach.

Kingston and his passenger were rescued by other boaters nearby and rescue crews stabilized them before transporting both to Jackson Memorial Hospital.

Sean’s injuries are critical and he is being treated in the trauma center. The hospital has not released any update as of Monday morning.

A rep for the singer said,

“Sean Kingston was in an accident today. No further details are available at the moment. He and his family thank everyone for the well-wishes."

Two men near the accident scene jumped into the water and pulled Kingston to safety and say the rapper was vomiting blood but was also talking and somewhat responsive.

Due to Sean’s size it was difficult to keep his head above water, but they held onto Kingston until police could get a boat out to him.

Once onshore, he was loaded into a waiting ambulance and transported to the hospital to be stabilized.

Kingston is well known for his song “Beautiful Girls” and for his video appearance in Justin Bieber’s music video "Eenie Meenie" as well as appearing on stage with Bieber during his North American concert tours.

Kingston has also made guest appearances on popular television shows including “90210” and “The Suite Life on Deck” with Dylan and Cole Sprouse.

His song “Fire Burning” has been featured on “Dancing With the Stars”, “So You Think you can Dance?”, “Yo Gabba Gabba!” and “Melrose Place”.

Justin Bieber Upset about Toronto Pot Dealers Selling “J.B. Kush” Marijuana Blend

There comes a time when a celebrity gets so famous that their hometown bestows honors on them.

Sometimes it’s a statue, a street named after them, a ballpark fan appreciation day, a key to the city – you get the idea.

But now Justin Bieber is being honored by Toronto Canada’s pot dealers.

That’s right – a new potent strain of marijuana being sold in Toronto has been named after the young “Baby” hit maker.

It’s called J.B. Kush.

One stoned insider says,

“The new kind of weed is apparently being sold on the streets of Toronto, Canada under the name, J.B. Kush, and is advertised to apparently ‘help you get through those tough times with your loved one, and make you closer’”

Oh my, what would Selena think about all this?


Bieber already has a line of fingernail polish, wrist bands, headphones, calendars, CD’s, DVD’s, a hit 3D movie, and as of this month a new women’s perfume – he really doesn’t need to be selling pot also.

Bieber, who was born in Stratford Ontario, says he knew nothing about the illegal marketing until someone brought it to his attention.

The singer is said to be furious about it since there is really nothing he, or his management team, can do about it.

One person close to the problem says,

“If it was a legal product like shirts, shoes, or hats and companies were using Justin’s name without permission he would have legal recourse to stop it. But since selling pot is illegal there is really nothing that can be done except hope it is a fad and it blows over soon. If he tried to take any action now it would only make the product more attractive to people – that’s what they hope for at least.”

We know Bieber is a devout Christian and has even banned alcohol on his tour bus, studios, and crew areas while on tour.

But as clean cut as he may appear, he does seem to have a wild side. Bieber was seen sporting a new tattoo this week while vacationing with girlfriend Selena Gomez in Maui Hawaii.

The couple was also photographed kissing, grabbing butt, and straddling each other while the entire world looked on.

At the end of the day there is not much Bieber, or his management team can do. This is just one of those things that happens and is really out of his control.

There is always a buzz around celebrity baby names so maybe the trend is moving toward celebrity pot names?

How about Gomez Ganga next?

You know what they say, “Imitation is the best form of flattery”.

Photo - Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez Do a Little Butt Grabbing and Kissing In Maui

Wow.

I guess after 150 concert shows you build up a little teenage angst. And if you’re worth $150 million you can grab ahold of whatever you like…

Teen pop stars, and new Hollywood Royal couple, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez have taken some time off from their work schedules to relax in Maui Hawaii.

But among the relaxing was a lot of butt grabbing and kissing. Almost too much – as if it was all staged to show the two lovebirds have normal hormones.

The couple has been photographed repeatedly embraced in some very personal forms of public displays of affection.





In fact, Bieber has even been sporting his new Hebrew “Jesus” tattoo. This is the first time photog’s have caught a glimpse of his new tat under his left arm.

We say go for it. Enjoy life while you’re young but be careful.

Me and my girl: Teen star Justin Bieber enjoys a very grown-up romance with girlfriend Selena Gomez

By Daily Mail Reporter


Gissa kiss: Bieber leans into his Disney belle as they smooch in the sea


He's just 17 years old, but as a world-famous pop star Justin Bieber has seen more of the world than men twice his age.

And as he frolicked on the beach in Maui with his young starlet girlfriend, Disney star Selena Gomez, 18, with her arms and legs wrapped around him, he certainly seemed older than his years.

The baby faced singer has been enjoying a romantic vacation with Selena, staying in a $10,000 a night suite at the Four Seasons Hotel - apparently without the supervision of their parents, or minders.

Justin took charge of the jetski, powering through the waves as his girlfriend clung to his waist at one point tenderly placing her hands on his shoulders.

The pairing of two such teen stars is a publicist's dream. But while they are reportedly being supervised by their parents - they made sure to stay out of shot so as not to spoil the stunning pictures.

While on the parasail - which had a rather fitting smiley face design on it - they took their relationship to dizzying new heights.

The couple are reportedly staying in an exclusive $10,000-a-night suite at the Four Seasons resort.

According to website Hollywood Life: 'The pair are in the Maile Suite, a luxury palace on the seventh floor of the resort.

'The signature of the three bedroom suite is floor-to-ceiling windows which allow a magnificent ocean view.'

The suite, which they're sharing with their parents, has three bedrooms and five beds.

Special features include a 50-inch flat-screen television with DVD player, a stereo with CD player and a music and movie library, a marble master bathroom with a deep soaking tub with whirlpool and a separate eucalyptus rain shower.

The couple can also enjoy romantic meals in the elegant dining room which features an adjoining butler's kitchen. They also have their own 24-hour personal concierge.

Whether the youngsters are allowed to share a bed together is unknown, although with Justin being a minor it's doubtful their parents would allow such a thing.

However, Justin and Selena's time on the beach appears to be completely unsupervised.

At no point during their romantic day together did there seem to be any elders present - aside from their parasail ride of course.

The teens apparently spent most of their time together without minders or their parents.

But the holiday isn't all romance for the youngsters - both are accompanied by their parents, who were elsewhere as they enjoyed their trip to the beach.

As Justin cavorted with Selena, he revealed his two tattoos.

As Bieber is aged under 18 he needed parental permission to get his tattoos.

Justin Bieber, 17, shows off TWO tattoos on beach holiday with bikini-clad Selena Gomez

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Braving the ocean: Justin Bieber shows off his Hebrew tattoo as he and Selena Gomez take a dip in Maui


He's just 17 years old, but as a world-famous pop star Justin Bieber has seen more of the world than men twice his age.

Perhaps that explains why the teen has already visited the tattoo parlour, not once but twice.

Joining his girlfriend Selena Gomez on the beach in Hawaii this week, he showed off his inkings.


Tattoos: Bieber has a Hebrew phrase on his torso, and a seagull on his stomach


One, on his stomach, is the outline of the seagull from Jonathan Livingston Seagull, a tattoo he had done to match his father and uncle and mark his 16th birthday.
The other, on his torso, is in Hebrew.

As Bieber is aged under 18 he needed parental permission to get his tattoos.

He displayed them as he and Selena relaxed on the beach in Maui together.

The young couple have both taken their families with them for the holiday, and have been seen at the upmarket Four Seasons hotel.

Stripped to the waist, the Canadian star showed off his rock-hard stomach in a pair of bathing shorts teamed with flip flops and white sunglasses.

His girlfriend, meanwhile, was wearing a pink bikini top and Daisy Dukes, and was carrying a leopard print bag as she walked to the beach with Bieber.

Video – Justin Timberlake Slams Justin Bieber in Unaired SNL Skit

We all laughed at Justin Timberlake and Adam Samberg last week on Saturday Night Live.

But there was one sketch that never saw the light of day.

During a dress rehearsal for a “Mozart” sketch, in front of an audience of 300, Timberlake took a few shots at teen sensation Justin Bieber.

The plot of the skit was that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was going to take a break from his music career to become an actor. His friends scoffed at the idea asking,

“You’re nor one of those musicians who think they can act are you?”

After mentioning that he had already been in a movie about a “Social Network” and appeared on the “Austrian Mouse Club”, his friends told him they would rather go to work for “Wolfgang Amadeus Bieber”.

At this point, Timberlake says,

“Amadeus Bieber? You might as well put a wig on a chipmunk and tell him to act like a black man.”

The audience erupted in laughs.

The jabs seem to be aimed at Bieber’s guest role on the popular “CSI” crime show where the singer was ultimately gunned down, and his concert movie “Never Say Never” that Justin said would not be a concert movie….. but was.



But we think Bieber could have taken the jabs, as he himself has hosted and performed on the show several times.

We suspect the skit was pulled at the last minute in order to stop the media outcry for using the word “black man”.

Hollywood can be a fickle place.

He just picked up 6 Billboard awards.

He kissed Selena Gomez on National television.

What else could Justin Bieber want these days?

How about a new tattoo?

We have all seen his Jonathan Living Seagull tattoo on his waist, but now Justin Bieber is sporting a new “tat” under his left arm.

Nobody knew about it until the teen heart throb was spotted vacationing in Hawaii with his girlfriend Selena Gomez.

What does it mean?

Rumor has it that the new tattoo is the Hebrew symbol for Jesus, but we have been unable to confirm if this is correct.

But knowing that the Biebs is a devout Christian we suspect it may be true. But it does seem like somewhat of a strange location for a Tattoo.

We just hope he knows when to stop and doesn’t turn into another Chris Brown or User.




Here is what the Hebrew symbol for Jesus looks like:

Talking about the fragrance recently, Bieber told WWD: 'Let’s be real, the way a girl smells is very important to a guy!

'I have such a deep connection with my fans, so creating a fragrance that I personally love is another way I can bring them closer to my world.'
