Some Fans Angry that Justin Bieber & Selena Gomez Were “Caught Kissing”

(HMG Celebrity News) – Though they continue to publicly deny their relationship, it’s pretty obvious Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are indeed a couple and they will likely admit to it is soon. The latest sighting of the young couple (Biebs is 16, Gomez is 18) was on a yacht in the Caribbean on Dec. 30 during a holiday vacation where they were obviously being affectionate with each other. A series of boring pictures show the two cuddling and kissing on the yacht while hanging out with friends while on holiday in St. Lucia. Some Bieber fans are not very happy about this apparent confirmation that their man has fallen for an older woman and have started sending death threats to Selena Gomez. One fan wrote: “I’ll kill you I swear on GOD!!! (sic)”, while another tweeted: “Wh*re cancer wh*re..like i’mm kill myself cuz i saw you and Justin kissing well thankyou Selena thankyou now i’m killing myself.” And this very dark one: stay away from Justin pedophile, retard wait i’m gonna kill ya in the night underneath your smelly bed.” Sorry girls but it looks like the older woman wins the Bieb for now.
