Justin Bieber and his gal Selena Gomez showed some slight PDA while in the crowd at the Billboard Music Awards. The young couple posed for pics, but cameras also caught Selena with her hand on the teen heartthrob’s knee.
Dressed in a gold blazer, Bieber won Top New Artist and kissed Selena before taking the stage to accept the award, thanking his fans, his mother and even his swagger coach Ryan Good.
The kiss was the latest big show of public affection for Bieber and Gomez, who for months evaded any admissions that they were dating. That was, until they stepped out together for the first time at the Vanity Fair Oscars party back in February.

slimmer and often has days when she wants to run away
"Do I have ugly days? All the time. I have breakouts, or days when I'm pictured with a double chin. I just think, 'Urgh, I want to run away and hide.' "
Discussing her looks, the 29-year-old beauty - who is preparing to wed DJ Tom Crane - admits she has become more "insecure" about herself as she has gotten older.
She told more magazine: "Obviously, I'm getting older now and that is an insecurity, but I just have a lot more facials than I used to.
"I'd never say never, but I think people can take surgery too far, although it's not fair to judge."

HQ-CELEBRITY - It’s easy to get spoiled by all of the fantastically sexy pictures of Bar Refaeli in tiny bikinis. The woman has such an incredible body, it’s only natural to want to see as much of it as possible. When I saw these pictures, my first feeling was one of disappointment. I mean, she’s in a dress. Upon closer and careful inspection, I realized that Bar is just as seductive fully clothes and, as hard as it is to believe, maybe even more seductive. There’s a little mystery with this dress. It hugs her body perfectly so it’s still very sexy, but at the same time, it has that gloriously low cut back and the little peek-a-boo cutouts at the neck. Lovely. Apparently, these pictures are from the premiere of ‘The Beaver’ at Cannes. The beaver. Cannes. There is definitely a joke there but I’m not gonna touch it.

ollowing the overwhelming success of their debut single 'Louder', the PARADE ladies return to the charts with what is sure to become this year's feel-good anthem, 'Perfume', released on June 20th through Asylum Records.
With a dedicated army of fans, 'Louder' stormed the midweek charts upon release in March - making PARADE one of only two British artists to debut inside the Top 10 this year. The mega-melodic 'Perfume' - full of nagging horns and sing-along hooks looks set to do the same.
The 'Perfume' video has just been shot by hot, in-demand director Emil Nava who also directed PARADE's 'Louder' (over 1.5 million plays on YouTube so far). The video is set against the iconic London skyline on a boat full to the brim with electric PARADE energy. It showcases the girls' trademark street dance inspired routines and the eye-catching style that has helped them amass a devoted fan base of dedicated 'Paraders' and 'Paradettes'.
Already dubbed 'The UK's most stylish new band', the five pop starlets Lauren, Jessica, Sian, Emily and Bianca encompass everything that we love about great British girl bands - they're fun, talented and radiate girly energy with a unique outlook and fashion style. Combine this with a love of pop and explosive street-dance routines, setting the girls apart from anything else out there right now, PARADE are set to make 2011 their own.
Having already performed at the O2, Hammersmith Apollo and a host of other venues supporting the likes of Shakira, Alexandra Burke and Shayne Ward, the girls have been busy showing off their assured dance choreography and vocal harmonies winning fans the nation over. The girls are confirmed to play at The Isle of Wight Festival this Summer and support the Black Eyed Peas in July.
'Perfume', the long-awaited second single taken from PARADE's debut album, which will follow this Summer, was written and produced for the girls by hotly tipped new outfit The Fairground ('Louder', Jay Sean); the blisteringly powerful pop track was chosen by PARADE's devoted fans as the perfect follow-up track to the girls' debut chart smash, 'Louder'.(MUSIC-NEWS)
