Selena Gomez may not be dating Justin Bieber . But she has something in common with her fellow young singer today: both are facing backlash from certain sections of society. While many are upset over comments Bieber made in regard to Anne Frank , Gomez is under fire for donning a Bindi on her forehead during her performance of “Come and Get It” at Sunday’s MTV Movie Awards . Officials at the Universal Society of Hinduism have referred to Selena’s use of the religious symbol as “insensitive,” with statesman Rajan Zed telling WENN: “The bindi on the forehead is an ancient tradition in Hinduism and has religious significance… It is not meant to be thrown around loosely for seductive effects or as a fashion accessory aiming at mercantile greed. “Selena should apologize and then she should get acquainted with the basics of world religions.” Ouch. Slam! In other young singer scandal news, a video has surfaced of Miley Cyrus smoking pot . But back to Selena: Should she apologize for the Bindi decoration? Yes, how disrespectful! No, who cares?!?
