8 Personal Ads We ‘Found’ On Craigslist This Morning

Amanda Chatel — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 18:15:06 +0000

Let’s just say, hypothetically, I was checking out the personal ads on Craigslist this morning, you know, for a friend. Because my friend is too shy to look for love on her own, and I stumbled across all these ads that looked awfully familiar. This ad sounds like this celebrity and this one sounds like that celebrity — or am I crazy? I am crazy, but let’s pretend I’m not.

Just because they’re rich and famous, doesn’t mean that it’s completely out of the realm of possibility that a celebrity would post an ad on Craigslist looking for love, or even, a NSA situation. So if a select handful of celebrities did post an ad, what might that ad say?

We have some thoughts on the matter. Don’t agree? Then how would your fantasy ad for your favorite celebrity read?

Selena Gomez Will Be Visiting The Congo With UNICEF

Molly Horan — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 18:45:35 +0000

Selena Gomez continues her campaign for most likable teen star this week, reporting that she’ll be visiting the Democratic Republic of the Congo in April as a part of the humanitarian effort there. The Wizards of Waverly Place star has already been gone to countries like Ghana and Chile.

Her trip to the African country is a continuation of efforts she made on their behalf stateside; three years ago she went to the Raise Hope for the Congo, a benefit held in L.A.

All of Selena’s international charity work comes from her position as a UNICEF ambassador, a title she’s held for two years. Her most recent effort for UNICEF was a benefit concert held at The House of Blues this past Friday, which raised over $200,000.

Selena could easily spend all her free time making out with Justin Beiber on sandy beaches, and honestly if she managed to do that without involving illegal substances she could still be one of the most well behaved teenagers in Hollywood. Even if she wanted to get involved in charity work there are so many easier ways she could have made an effort, like launching a perfume line with a portion set aside for a nonprofit.

By not only holding fundraisers but traveling to the troubled countries she’s trying to help, Selena is showing her young fans to do more for a cause then wearing rubber cause bracelets.

Looking Back at Four Seasons of The Wizards Of Waverly Place

Molly Horan — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 19:10:09 +0000

The Wizards of Waverly Place ended it’s four season run last night with an hour long episode. We learned Alex (Selena Gomez) is the family wizard, Justin (David Henrie) is the new headmaster of WizTech, Max (Jake T. Austin) will inherit the family business and that you shouldn’t mess with griffins. Here’s a look at how the wizards have grown up over the last five years.

Justin Bieber Went And Got Another Jesus Tattoo

Natalie Zutter — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 14:31:56 +0000

Chilling in Studio City, CA recently, teen heartthrob Justin Bieber showed off his latest tattoo—and it’s another religious one. In this photo, you can clearly see the face of Jesus Christ on the Biebs’ left calf.

It’s the third in a theme, joining Jesus’ name written in Hebrew on his ribcage and a dove tattooed on his left hip… plus, the image of Jesus’ face matches the one on his silver pendant. Even for someone as religious as the Biebs, it’s still pretty odd how close he feels to Jesus.

But now that I think about it, their family units are pretty similar: Absentee dad (God/Jeremy Bieber), long-suffering mothers (Mary/Pattie Mallette), and replacement father figures (Joseph/Scooter Braun).

All joking aside, Justin has said that it’s difficult to reconcile his faith — he was raised Christian — and the temptations of Hollywood:

Hollywood is … a scary place. There’s a lot going on, there’s a lot of bad things, but there’s also a lot of good things. I’m able to live my dream, I’m able to do a lot of good things. Basically, I don’t even consider religion. Like, I’m a Christian, I believe in God, I believe that Jesus died on a cross for my sins. I believe that I have a relationship and I’m able to talk to him and really, he’s the reason I’m here, so I definitely have to remember that. As soon as I start forgetting, I’ve got to click back and be like, you know, this is why I’m here.

Girlfriend Selena Gomez was also raised in faith, though when she and Justin started going out in December 2010, her promise ring was conspicuously absent.

I’ve gotta agree with Ology, Justin is the only star who could take the badass tattoo and make it instant fodder to win over his fans’ mothers.

Poll: What Should Happen Next In The Kidd Kraddick Vs. Selena Gomez Fans Feud?

Natalie Zutter — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 19:40:45 +0000

Just when radio host Kidd Kraddick though he had gotten past all the Selena Gomez fans (or Selenators) bashing him for a mild joke he made about Selena’s pregnant mom, her mother Mandy Gomez suffered a miscarriage, and millions of preteen girls started sending Kidd death threats all over again. Even though he’s got more supporters this time around, something needs to change so that these kids don’t feel like they can verbally attack a stranger for something he didn’t even do.

Justin and Selena certainly aren’t lifting a finger to make things right; all they’ve done in the last few days is tweet their performance schedules. At the same time, Kidd is fending off girls who swear they’ll ruin his career; he’s been trying to report them to Twitter, but that seems like it’s about as effective as hacking through a jungle with a butter knife.

So we’ve come up with a few options to help everybody move on. Not all of them are the right move — Kidd shouldn’t have to apologize for anything — but they all might actually inspire these kids to calm the fuck down.

Selena and Kidd in happier times:

Selena Gomez’s Fans Are Still Blaming Radio Host Kidd Kraddick, Now For Selena’s Mom’s Miscarriage

Natalie Zutter — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 14:11:10 +0000

Update: We want this feud to end already! Check out our poll and tell us what you think the best next step is.

In a grim example of irony, Selena Gomez‘s mother Mandy Gomez has suffered a miscarriage—just a few weeks after Selena’s fans accused radio host Kidd Kraddick of wanting Mandy to miscarry. The Texas-based radio host never said anything against Selena’s family — something we made clear — but that hasn’t stopped the “Selenators” from assuming that he’s used some sort of voodoo radio magic to cause tragedy in the Gomez family.

For the most part, people tweeting at Kidd seem to be on his side, but there are some fans who are sending him threats reminiscent of three weeks ago. The most damning is this one from a girl who’s obviously a Justin Bieber fan as well:

But this time, Kidd has more support behind him. He responded Please report Thx, and already some of his followers are reporting that user for spam or abuse. These kids operate under such weird motivations; user @CyrusHomie rationalized, to clear up the rumors i don’t hate @KiddKraddick i only stood up for @selenagomez. How does that make any sense? They’re tweeting insults and threats behind the mask of anonymity, and really just for the attention of participating in this fake debate—even if they’re on the wrong side.

Aside from reporting these bullies, Kidd hasn’t released any sort of official statement about Mandy’s miscarriage. And why should he? He never wished their family harm. All he did was make an ill-advised joke with awful timing outside of his control.

But all isn’t lost: @XJBlovers wrote, Kidd, we’re so sorry. We didn’t know it wasn’t true, and RT’ed that tweet. We feel so sorry, we were wrong. Please forgive us? Kidd retweeted it, which seems to be what passes for a truce on Twitter these days.

Selena Gomez’s Mother Has Had a Miscarriage

Molly Horan — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 22:22:02 +0000

About month after announcing she was going to be a big sister for the first time, Selena Gomez now has sad news; her mother has had a miscarriage.

Selena has cancelled two upcoming concerts to be with her mom.

People are already comparing this news to Michelle Duggar’s recent miscarriage, with commenters speculating about whether Selena’s mom’s age had anything to do with it, and wondering whether the family will chose to handle this loss privately or publicly as the Duggars choose to do.

I hope however Selena’s family chooses to handle this loss everyone supports them and keeps them in their thoughts.

Selena Gomez’s Stalker Claims A Restraining Order Is The Only Thing That Will Keep Him Away From Her

Liana Maeby — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 19:01:53 +0000

There are celebrity stalkers and then there’s Thomas Brodnicki, the man who claims he has 50 conversations with God a day about killing Selena Gomez. Thomas’ felony stalking charges were dismissed last month, but not he’s claiming Selena needs to take out a restraining order against him for her own protection. Yikes.

Thomas, who was recently arrested on a psychiatric hold, was charged with felony stalking but had the charges dropped. So far, the judge involved in the case has held off on issuing a restraining order until Thomas can appear in court to defend himself, but Selena’s stalker is now saying he wants the paperwork to go through:

“I believe that a restraining order should be issued against me to prevent me from trying to contact Selena Gomez. I do not wish to object to the restraining order against me because I know it is the only thing that will make me stay away from Selena.”

Oh boy! Well let’s get that restraining order taken care of then, shall we? This guy seems legitimately terrifying even though he has kindly eyes in his mugshot.

Selena Gomez Wears A Diamond Ring, But She’s Not Engaged To Justin Bieber

Natalie Zutter — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 14:38:37 +0000

I have two big questions about this news story, in which a vacationing Selena Gomez wore a diamond on her ring finger, prompting rumors that boyfriend Justin Bieber had proposed.

1. Why would the paparazzi jump to the conclusion that she was getting married when she’s just 19?

2. Why would she taunt the press by wearing a specific ring on that specific finger?

It’s not as if Selena needs any extra attention; she’s one of Disney‘s prized triple-threat superstars, with a rabidly loyal Twitter following and the single most desirable boyfriend for the under-21 set.

You hear about “celebrities” like Kim Kardashian arranging paparazzi moments where it looks like she might be engaged, just to get more press. If Selena were trying to work that angle, it would just look tacky. Or maybe she had the same train of thought I did and figured that the press would know that she’s far too young to settle down, so it didn’t matter which finger she wore a diamond on.

Selena’s rep assured Us Weekly and the rest of the world that the teen power couple were not getting hitched; though ironically they are in Cabo San Lucas celebrating a wedding. Selena is a bridesmaid for Shannon Larossi, the costume designer for her show Wizards of Waverly Place.

The Justin-Selena marriage rumors have been going strong since Selena confirmed to Z100 that they were dating in March 2011. Sites will just make up rumors that Justin has a proposal planned; one said it was after the shock of Sean Kingston‘s jetski accident, another said it’d be for her birthday. If anything, it sounds like they have opposing views on it: Justin’s been quoted as saying that he wants to be married by 25, whereas Selena told Teen Vogue in May,

I’m at a point where I want to be in love, to give my all and fall head over heels. I’m eighteen. I’m not going to marry anybody I’m with, and I know that. The next heartbreak I have, I’m sure I’ll be like, How can I live without this person? But I’m still trying to dive in and enjoy it.

It’s unclear if she were talking specifically about Justin or more generally about anyone she might date at this age. But he might want to get to her before her fans do; in this cute video, a young fan asks for her hand:

We’re also curious to see if her views on premarital sex have changed. In 2008, she gladly told Extra that she had asked her father for a promise ring, so he “went to the church and got it blessed.” Yet photographes noticed it absent from her finger when she hung out with Justin in late 2010, long before she actually acknowledged they were dating.
