Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez: Broken Up! Kinda! Sorta! For Now!
Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez have once again ended their relationship.
At least for now.
But they’ll probably get back together.
Not that this is even a real break-up, sources explain.
Confused? Welcome to the romantic world of Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez.
According to E! News, the artists are slowing things down considerably at the moment, taking a break from a dalliance that had heated up quickly after last year’s reconciliation.
The artists got back together for approximately the 39th time in November, very shortly after Gomez split from The Weeknd.
Multiple insiders said last fall that Bieber was inspired to start doing Gomez again after the latter underwent a kidney transplant and he came close to losing her…
… forever.
The stars have since been spotted out in public often, getting meals together and attending church services and seeming very happy.
So, what’s going on?
“They were having a lot of little disagreements recently and one fight in particular blew up and caused them to decide to break up,” E! reports, putting these final two words in quotation marks and adding:
“However, they’ve been in contact the entire time and their feelings for each other have not changed.”
Not to go all Ross and Rachel on you, but this sounds like more than a break than a break-up.
It also sounds like a sign of maturity, doesn’t it?
As if Selena and Justin recognize the way in which one fight would snowball in the past, leads to more fights and further tension and an eventual split?
Therefore, they’ve chosen now instead to just take a deep breath and relax, safe under the assumption that cooler heads will prevail and boots will soon be knocking again.
“They will absolutely get back together and they are not over, but they both need some time away from each other,” says this source.
Since becoming a couple again, Bieber and Gomez have gone on trips together to Mexico, Jamaica, Seattle and Laguna Beach.
They’ve also agreed to attend couples counseling, well aware that intense feelings for each other are not enough to sustain a romance.
They need to learn and heed other lessons as well.
“I’m 25. I’m not 18, or 19, or 20. I cherish people who have really impacted my life,” Selena has said the one recent time she spoke out about Bieber, elaborating vaguely:
“So maybe before, it could have been forcing something that wasn’t right.
“But that doesn’t mean caring for someone ever goes away.”
Selena and Justin haven’t seen each other since February 28, this E! insider claims.
But they have been in contact and they are mostly trying to figure out the best way to move forward while dating in the bright glare of the spotlight.
“They both have expressed that they have been feeling overwhelmed with a lot of pressure that has come with their public relationship, and haven’t been seeing eye to eye on things,” reports E!.
It hasn’t helped, meanwhile, that Selena’s mother is strongly against this rekindled relationship.
She just thinks Bieber has burned her daughter too many times in the past.
Gomez really wants the support of her family, so she’s taking some time to mend this fence while she takes a brief hiatus from cuddling up to Bieber.
Makes sense to us.
Heck, this is actually an encouraging sign overall to us.
Justin and Selena are totally gonna get married.

Andrew Garfield: I"m Gay! Kinda! Sorta!
Andrew Garfield may no longer be Spider-Man.
But the actor still finds himself in a rather sticky situation.
The British actor – who currently stars in a production of Tony Kushner’s Angels in America as Prior Walter, a young New York man living with AIDS – spoke to Out Magazine for its latast issue and actually came out of the closet.
Kind of. Sort of.
In an unusual manner of speaking.
“Every Sunday, I would have eight friends over and we would just watch Ru,” Garfield says, referring to the reality series RuPaul’s Drag Race and adding:
“I mean every single series of RuPaul’s Drag Race. I mean, every series. This is my life outside of this play.”
And then Garfield unttered the statement that has left the Internet confused and a bit angry:
I am a gay man right now just without the physical act – that’s all.
The star goes on to admit that there may be a time in the future when he’s willing to “explore” relations with the same gender, concluding:
“As far as I know, I am not a gay man.
“Maybe I’ll have an awakening later in my life, which I’m sure will be wonderful and I’ll get to explore that part of the garden, but right now I’m secluded to my area, which is wonderful, as well.”
It must be wonderful, critics have responded. You get to claim you’re gay… without dealing with any of the oppression so often faced by men who actually do identity with this sexual preference.
And who act on it, too, of course.
Simply watching a transgender model on television does not make one day, and many folks are irate at Garfield for an attitude that reflects cultural appropriation and historical ignorance.
Actor Scott Evans clapped back against Garfield on Twitter, for example, writing:
“This article grosses me out.Ur a talented guy,but seem to be completely oblivious to what is coming out of ur mouth.”
Another Internet user Tweeted that “Former #SpiderMan #AndrewGarfield has a very limited view of what being gay ACTUALLY is. #LGBTQ.”
Even if you think Garfield had harmless (or even noble) intentions, it’s difficult to argue with these critiques of his statement.
On the dating side, Garfield is best known for having had a long-term relationship with Emma Stone.
He’s appeared in multiple Broadway plays and he dresses very well, but these stereotypically gay actions don’t a actually qualify one to claim he is a homosexual.
In January, Garfield did make headlines after locking lips with Ryan Reynolds at the 2017 Golden Globe Awards.
“I just wanted Ryan to know that I loved him no matter whether he won or lost,” Garfield told Stephen Colbert after the smooch went viral.
He has also spoken out in favor of gay marriage and wondered why Spider-Man can’t be gay.
Garfield is clearly a committed advocate of sexual equality, he just likely wishes he could have this phrasing back. He doesn’t come across very well in the Out interview, as noted on Twitter:
What do YOU think?
Is this much ado about nothing?
Or should Andrew Garfield apologize?
