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.

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.

Scotty McCreery – “I Fell in Love” – Relationship has Been Building All Year.

American Idol always delivers a few surprises.

But this year the big story seems to be the relationship between winner Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina.

Maybe we should have seen it coming, but producers didn’t want it out for public consumption until the competition was over.

One insider says,

“We didn’t want it to effect the voting. It was something that happened over time and we knew it would get out eventually. Now that the show is over it will just add to their popularity and success.”

Indeed, Scotty and Lauren have become close, and Scotty even told E! Online that he had fallen in love.

After hearing his name Wednesday night the two quickly embraced each other with hugs and kisses and the rumor mill went into Hollywood overdrive.

But are they dating? Are they a couple? Is there really a relationship there? Insiders say yes.

In fact, after announcing the winner, host Ryan Seacrest ask "Scotty the Body" how he felt and he replied,

"It's been a year since me and Lauren Alaina have tried out now. Me and her have been together since day one and we're gonna stay together."

This was the first time most fans had heard such words from the 17-year-old country singer, but suddenly it seemed everybody wanted to know how serious things were.

For her part, Lauren told Entertainment Tonight when asked if they were boyfriend and girlfriend,

"He might be my boyfriend, ask him."

When asked by reporters about the on-air kiss and possible relationship after the show she said,

"I kissed him on the lips, yeah. He might be my boyfriend, he might not be my boyfriend."

Scotty on the other hand is being a bit more subtle with his remarks and comments. After the show he told reporters,

"I'm sure those rumors are spreading, but we're just really good friends. We've been friends since day one in Hollywood. We've been in class together in school. We've gotten really close, but I don't know about the more than friends stuff. I'm still single, but me and Lauren are really really really close friends."

That’s how it starts kids. Think back to when you were in High School and imagine how you would feel with 50 news cameras stuffed in your face and only 10 seconds to think of your answer.

From here, McCreery is already slated to be back in the studio to record his first single “I love you this big”, and Lauren is recording her first song “Like my mother did”.

The couple will also appear together starting next month in the “American Idol Summer Tour” and have said they plan to record at least one duet together on each other’s first album.

We think this is a perfectly tender moment for the two and wish them nothing but the best. In terms of conspiracy and intrigue there were far more sinister moments that fans never got to see or hear about this season.

Justin Bieber & Selena Gomez Caught Kissing | Justin Biber and Selena Gomez Kiss outside Vanity Fair Oscars Party

We're dating: Justin Biber and Selena Gomez kiss outside Vanity Fair Oscars party


They've been quietly dating since November but have been maintaining a low profile.

But teen sensations Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez finally confirmed their relationship by making their first official red carpet debut at the Vanity Fair Oscar party in Los Angeles.

And as they enjoyed long lingering kisses in front of the cameras outside the party, and happily showed off a photobooth shot of them puckering up, there were no mistake that they were a couple.


With their arms wrapped around each other, the young pair stared lovingly into each others' eyes as they posed for photographers on the red carpet outside the Sunset Tower Hotel.

The couple had even colour coordinated their outfits for the occasion, with 16-year-old Bieber donning a red pocket square in his black Dolce & Gabbana suit to complement 18-year-old Gomez's floor-length red gown, also by D&G.

Wizards of Waverley Place star Gomez accessorised her Grecian-inspired gown with Brian Atwood heels, Judith Leiber bag and Lorraine Schwartz jewels.

Gomez and Bieber were first romantically linked last year, after a series of meetings including Gomez visiting Bieber on his tour bus.

However, the Disney sensations declined to comment on their pairing for months, instead answering coyly about the status of their relationship.

Recently, a bold fan quizzed Bieber during an MTV question and answer session if he was dating the stunning singer and actress, to which he replied: 'I think anyone would be lucky to date her. She’s a great person.'

He later added: 'I like girls with nice, pretty eyes and a nice smile. I like girls that are funny because I like to laugh and joke around.'

Gomez has maintained an equally coy attitude about Bieber, saying previously that she considers the Never Say Never star family.

Recalling the first time the pair met, Gomez explained: 'When he first started to come over from Canada his manager contacted me and he just said that he would like to meet me and he was just such a good kid.

'I feel like a big sister now, because I want to protect him.'

But when she was asked if she was suffering from 'Bieber Fever' at the Grammy Awards last month, Gomez replied to Access Hollywood: 'I love him. He’s been in my life a very long time. He’s my friend.'

Gomez added she wasn't worried about the attention she was getting for her relationship with Bieber, despite Kim Kardashian receiving death threats from hundreds of fans when she and the singer joked about a mutual crush.

Gomez laughed: 'I think it’s awesome people are interested – I don’t understand why.'

Giggles all round: The pair appeared to be in high spirits as they attended the exclusive event together


Bieber and Gomez looked delighted to be mixing with Hollywood royalty at the Vanity Fair party as they made their way into the exclusive event.

Earlier in the evening, Bieber had backed True Grit star Hailee Steinfeld to take home the Best Supporting Actress Oscar.

He tweeted: 'Good luck to my friend Hailee Steinfeld tonight on the #oscars . young people going for theirs! also want Christian Bale to win. #TheFighter.'

However, while Hailee missed out on the gong to The Fighter's Melissa Leo, she still managed to enjoy herself, switching her high heels for comfy Converse plimsolls as she arrived at the Vanity Fair party.

But it seems the grandeur of the party might have reminded Bieber of how lucky he has been, as he later added on Twitter: 'i'm never gonna change...i will always remember...i will always be that kid from stratford...I will always be grateful.'

The cute couple weren't the only young celebrities gracing the red carpet at the star-studded event.

Country star Taylor Swift caused a stir in a tiny jewelled gold Zuhair Murad dress, while actresses Emma Stone and True Blood star Anna Paquin went for very different looks for the party.

Stone opted for an oriental-inspired Chanel Haute Couture dress with purple satin heels, while newlywed Paquin looked stunning in a ruffled red Monique Lhuillier dress and Brian Atwood black shoes.

Shirtless Justin Bieber Kissing Selena Gomez Photo Circulating on the Internet – Is it a Fake?

Justin Bieber fans around the world are going crazy today.

Selena Gomez fans are also unsure how their lives can possibly go on.

And there is one happy Paparazzi photographer, or Photoshop guru smiling all the way to the bank.

But is it real? Can it be true? Can this really be what it seems? Can life as we know it continue?

Bieber and Gomez fans are currently soaking up the latest photo scandal showing the two love birds embraced in what appears to be a shirtless Justin Bieber engaged in a deep passionate kiss with girlfriend Selena Gomez.

Here is the photo:


But is it real?

The image of Bieber does look like the teen sensation, but we can’t quite wrap our head around the image of Selena.


The picture shows a mole on the left side of the females face, and we couldn’t find a similar picture showing Gomez sporting the mole.

That doesn’t mean it isn’t her, it just makes us suspicious that the photo is real. But then again, maybe Bieber has been caught with another woman?

It would not be difficult to create this photo in Photoshop with intentions of making it look like something it’s not.

Without independent confirmation, InfoStar has no choice but to declare this photo a fake.

Can you prove us wrong?

Do you think it’s real?

If you know the answer to these questions you may very well hold the keys to preventing one of the largest collective screams by teenage girls that has ever been heard in the history of mankind.

You just may save the world.
