Selena Gomez Sticks It to Justin Bieber on Instagram

Selena Gomez probably won’t say it.

She’s too mature and classy and professional to say it.

So we’ll go ahead and say it for her:

Thanks to her 89.1 million followers – yes, 89.1 million followers – Gomez has set an Instagram record, sharing a photo online two weeks ago that has now become the Most-Liked image in that platform’s history.

As of this writing, the following photo has been Liked over 4 million times.

It features Selena using a straw to take a sip from a Coke bottle; a Coke bottle with the lyrics “You’re the spark” on it.

Those lyrics come from the Gomez track “Me & the Rhythm.”

“when your lyrics are on the bottle,” Selena wrote as a caption to the picture, including the emoji of a smiley face with its tongue sticking out.

So… where does Selena’s famous ex-boyfriend fit into all of this?

Back in May, Bieber earned the Most-Liked in History honor on Instagram, though he needed Selena’s help to set that record at the time as well.

The picture that received over 3.7 million Likes was a throwback image that featured the stars planting a kiss on each other’s lips from their days as a couple.

Check it out here:

Prior to this picture receiving the most-ever Likes, Kendall Jenner’s artistic selfie was the most popular snapshot in the annals of Instagram.

Here’s a look at that one:

Back to Gomez, however.

She has one of the most passionate and dedicated fan bases on the planet.

She is currently on tour after releasing a new album and has sold more than 6.7 million albums total, along with 22 million singles worldwide, according to Billboard.

Not shabby, huh?

Perhaps people can stop just referring to her as Justin Bieber’s Ex-Girlfriend now. We’re pretty sure she’s earned it.

Unlike other popular females on Instagram, the artist doesn’t resort to semi-nude photos or anything like that to build her fan base.

She shares cute images of herself and her fans; herself and her friends; herself and her pets.

Scroll through the following long look at various Selena Gomez Instagram photos and then try to decide:

Which celebrity might unseat her down the line for Most-Liked photos of all-time?

Former Miss Alabama Dubs Dallas Shooter a "Martyr"

Kalyn James, a former Miss Alabama champion, has created quite a stir on the Internet.

During a Facebook Live chat on Sunday, the ex-beauty queen addressed the topic of last week"s tragic shooting in Dallas, during which five police officers were killed at a Black Lives Matter protest.

The shooter has been identified as Micah Xavier Johnson… and James says in the video below that she actually sympathizes with the terrorist.

She knows she shouldn"t.

But…

“I’m dealing with a bit of guilt because I don’t feel sad for the officers that lost their lives,” she says.

“I know that that’s really not my heart. I value human life. And I want to feel sad for them, but I can’t help but feeling like the shooter was a martyr.”

James, who now works as a television host, went on to say that she “wasn’t surprised” by the cops’ murders because she, too, was upset and frustrated by the recent deaths of black men by police.

Both Alton Sterling and Philando Castile were controversially shot to death by officers a few days before Johnson"s heinous actions.

“I know it’s not the right way to feel, because nobody deserves to lose their lives. I know that those police officers had families and people who loved them and that they didn’t deserve to die,” she said of officers Michael Smith, Lorne Ahrens, Michael Krol, Patrick Zamarripa and Brent Thompson.

“But I’m so torn up in my heart about seeing these men, these black men, being gunned down in our community …

"I wasn’t surprised by what the shooter did to those cops and I think a lot of us feel the same way and I know that it’s not right … I definitely don’t condone violence against innocent people."

Except… she just referred to Johnson as a "martyr."

Safe to say this was one of those times when she should have just kept her mouth shut.

James has received significant backlash since making this video.

She has since offered an apology to WPMI, saying she “apologize[s] to anyone who was offended by my comments – my heart was not filled with hate.”

Nevertheless, Miami TV station WPBT2 has James her on leave for her controversial comments.

You can"t exactly express any sort of sympathy for a mass murderer and expect to keep your job as a public figure.

We do not condone any suggestion that terrorism is acceptable or that it should be tolerated,” WPBT2 said in a statement on Twitter.

"WPBT2 South Florida PBS does not condone the personal statements made by one of its independent contractors regarding the events in Dallas.

"It placed the contractor on administrative leave while it actively and carefully looks further into the matter and will determine additional course of actions based on its thorough review of the matter."

Jenelle Evans "Looks 16 Weeks Pregnant" in Latest Pic, Fans Say

At this point, it feels like Jenelle Evans pregnancy rumors are a daily occurrence.

Fans have been speculating about the possibility that Evans is carrying her third child for weeks now.

Evans even shared a bikini photo to squash the rumors, but reports that she’s knocked up by boyfriend David Eason have persisted.

Unfortunately for Jenelle, fans continue to believe that she’s hiding a pregnancy, with some going so far as to claim the reality star appears to be in her second trimester.

The latest speculation comes from this photo that Jenelle posted – somewhat ironically – as part of her endorsement deal with Flat Tummy Tea.

“Been on the @flattummytea cleanse and look at this,” Jenelle captioned the pic. “Don’t be mad, just go get you some tea!”

One fan suggested that Jenelle is wearing her pants higher than usual in order to hide a pregnant belly … and that was all it took.

“She looks about 16 weeks pregnant,” one commenter wrote.

“Pregnant! [You] can [see] she tried to hide the ring of her pregnant belly,” another added.

Jenelle has yet to respond, but we’re guessing she’s not thrilled with the assessment, especially given the intended purpose of the pic.

Jenelle had a rough 24 hours on social media between fans insisting that she’s knocked up and Kailyn Lowry throwing shade on Twitter.

Fortunately, she didn’t earn the nickname “the Carolina Hurricane” by being soft.

We’re guessing Jenelle will respond to both Kailyn and the latest round of rumors at some point today.
