Pop-culturites, I just know you've all been wondering this: are Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber an item again? Well, on Friday the dynamic duo were apparently spotted together in the town of McAllen, Texas.
E! News later confirmed the sighting. Gomez, 21, and Bieber, 20, reportedly shared a very public display of affection during a meal at a Mexican restaurant.
After that, the pair headed on a little shopping spree, stopping at a floral shop and a perfume store, where Bieber reportedly purchased two different colognes.
The day before the Texas reunion, Bieber was in Miami for a deposition stemming from a suit filed against him by a paparazzo who alleges that one of the baby-faced singer's body guards assaulted him.
Numerous media outlets report that Bieber briefly stormed out of the six-hour deposition when he was questioned about Gomez.
In other news, Kesha Sebert-yes Kesha, not Ke$ha (the singer announced this past week that she has officially dropped the dollar sign from her name)-is indeed yelling "Timber," leaving the Chicago-area rehab facility Timberline Knolls after completing a two-month stint for the treatment of an eating disorder.
Ever the one to make a statement, photographers snapped Sebert, 27, wearing a sweatshirt that read "Ima Survivor" when she arrived at the Los Angeles International Airport on Thursday.
Now, pop-culture people, are you ready for a blast from the past? You may have thought the Aaron Carter/Hillary Duff romance drama was quashed long ago, but Carter's Twitter feed tells otherwise.
On Wednesday, Carter, 26, re-tweeted a photo of Duff, 26, and later wrote, "I'll spend the rest of my life trying to better myself to get back to her."
"I don't care what ANY of you think." He tweeted, implying that he was talking about Duff in the original post. So, perhaps a reunion is possible. Duff recently split from her husband, former professional hockey player Mike Comrie, with whom she has 22-month-old son Luca.
Carter dated Duff back in the early 2000s before he infamously broke up with her in pursuit of child actress Lindsay Lohan.
In a recent interview, Carter detailed that he started dating Duff on his 13th birthday, and after a year or so in the relationship he became bored and moved on to Lohan.
Oh teenage love. Whether this resurfacing of his feelings for Duff is a publicity stunt or real, we shall see.
Setting that early 2000s Disney drama throwback aside, last Monday, E! News confirmed that Scarlett Johansson, 29, is expecting her first child with fianc?(c) Romain Dauriac, a French journalist. The actress is reportedly due in August. As she is set to begin filming Avengers 2 soon, the production will prioritize filming Johansson's scenes. Her character, Black Widow, wears a skintight black suit, so hiding the pregnancy would likely prove difficult.
And with the usual roundup of romance, scandal and celebrity, that's this week's pop culture news, Brandeis!
