It seems Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez, the world's most famous "are-they-or-aren't-they-a-couple" are now no longer a couple. If indeed they ever were a couple in the first place. This weekend, tweets are flying thick and fast informing the world, not to mention the worldwide hordes of true beliebers, that the teen dream's affair with the Disney starlet is over.
So what, if anything, destroyed "Jelena's" romance? Or, perhaps the question should be: Was there ever a real romance to destroy? For ages, the two have steadfastly stuck to their story that they're just good friends. So why all this hype? And why were there no specifics? Who dumped whom? Did they end it in person, or on the phone a la Jake Gyllenhaal and Taylor Swift? Did one of them cheat? If so, which one? None of these questions was even broached let alone answered. Could it be that their rumored split is another Internet hoax spawned by the collective wishful thinking of millions of jealous, lovesick adolescents?
According to Right Celebrity, "Twitter is one of the best places to start a false Internet meme. Fans of the Biebs know this well—and they do it often. His fans dominate a huge chunk of Tweets sent worldwide, and today they are aflutter with hopeful messages about a newly single JB."
That's true enough. Justin Bieber's fans have attacked Selena Gomez before. The most infamous incident occurred after photos of Bieber and Gomez kissing at a Caribbean villa were leaked online. A barrage of death threats against the Wizards of Waverly Place star immediately ensued. Later, they hacked Selena's Facebook page flooding it with negative comments about her Baby singer beau.
So what's the answer to this conundrum? Are Justin and Selena still a couple or not? The answer is a resounding "Only they know for sure." While it's true that they're now "separated," it's only because they're on opposite sides of the earth. Gomez is touring Japan, while Bieber is in the U.S. promoting Never Say Never, cutting his hair, towing Twitter followers, and preparing for his My World Tour on March 5th.
If and when the teen stars do decide to confess their love, or lack of it, to the world, hopefully all true beliebers will take a lesson from one of Bieber's Twitter followers. In response to the news of his alleged split from Gomez, she wrote: "I honestly don't care about if they broke up, I’m just scare that (he) could be heart broken.”
Let's hope she and all true beliebers will be able to rejoice in their idol's happiness just as much as they now fear for his heartbreak.
