Blake Lively Plans to Laugh Off Nude Picture Scandal at MTV Movie Awards

Blake Lively's scheduled appearance at 2011 MTV Movie Awards will not be affected by her recent naked photo scandal. The 23-year-old beauty, who is booked to present the golden popcorn, is still set to attend the show which is going to take place on Sunday, June 5. 


Not only will she be facing the press at the star-studded event, but she will reportedly also poke fun at the alleged fake nude shots. "They're working on a moment in the show where she'd make fun of it," a source tells Celebuzz, but MTV has not released any words regarding Blake's participation in the show. 


Since images of a naked blond girl hit the web in late May, Blake's representative has stated that it was not her in the pictures. However, Joe Francis believes that the photos were leaked by the "Gossip Girl" star herself. 


"I would say 90 percent it's an orchestrated attempt or act on her part [to raise her profile]. I'm not sure, but my inclination is that it's coming from her," the founder of GGW Brands which produces the "Girls Gone Wild" DVD series shared his thought. "This will make her desirable. It's working because it's getting wide coverage."

Report: Adam Lambert and Christina Aguilera Record a Duet

"American Idol" graduate Adam Lambert reportedly has hooked up with "Dirrty" hitmaker Christina Aguilera in the studio to record a joint track. The rumor was first brought to attention by Tampa Bay radio station 93.3 via its Twitter page on Thursday afternoon, June 2. 


"Uhhh not sure if this is out yet but a little birdie just told us that @AdamLambert has recorded a song with Christina Aguilera," read the tweet. Later, the radio station posted another message which sent Adam's fans into frenzy, "We sat in a mtng in NYC where his label played us a minute of a new song." 


The title of the alleged duet song is not yet revealed. It's also not known whether the track is recorded for Adam's new album or it's made for Christina's next studio installment. Words have been swirling around that the two singers are working on their next album. 


Adam previously told MTV about the work he's doing in the studio, "I think I've probably written about 18 to 20 songs. I've been spending the past two and a half months in the studio." The goal is to write "the most personal songs, the most powerful songs," and he has tapped Ryan Tedder, Nikka Costa and Sia Furler for the project. "I really want it to be something that's really honest and real," he gushed. 


As for Christina, the "Not Myself Tonight" singer has recruited Sandy Vee, one of the masterminds behind Rihanna's "S&M" and Katy Perry's "Firework". Sandy broke the news himself, writing on Twitter, "On my way to studio, working with Christina Aguilera. Songs folder is hot :)" Also, Christina has reportedly got Linda Perry, DJ Premier and Sia to help her as well.

Casting Call: Chuck Hittinger Joins AMERICAN REUNION; Alison Brie, Lizzy Caplan, Martin Starr, and Geoffrey Arend Star in SAVE THE DATE

American Pie stars Jason Biggs, Seann William Scott, Alyson Hannigan, Chris Klein, Thomas Ian Nicholas, Tara Reid, Mena Suvari, and Shannon Elizabeth all promptly signed on to return forAmerican Reunion, the third Pie sequel.  Makes sense: those kids came off the surprise hit with serious heat in 1999, but none has achieved the true stardom that seemed within reach.  Writer/directors Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg (Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle) added a few new faces to the mix, including Dania Ramirez and Katrina Bowden.  According toVariety, Chuck Hittinger (Pretty Little Liars) will represent the new male blood at the East Great Falls High School class reunion.  Hittinger plays Marco, “a jock and a bully who takes his girlfriend for granted.”  Production is currently underway in Atlanta for an April 6, 2012 release.

Hit the jump for details on Save the Date, an indie romantic comedy that just signed Alison Brie, Lizzy Caplan, Martin Starr, and Geoffrey Arend.

Per Variety, the script by Jeffrey Brown, Egan Reich, and director Mike Mohan centers on two sisters, “one who’s ambivalent about her future (Caplan) and another more at peace with life and long-term commitment (Brie).”  The report offers no details on Starr’s role, but mentions Ahrend will play a man with a passion for music and Caplan’s character.

Boy, is this a fun cast.  There is the obvious delight of the Starr/Caplan mini-Party Down reunion.  Really, any cast could use a little more Brie.  And Arend is Mr. Christina Hendricks, which is more than enough to earn my admiration.  Jordan Horowitz — a producer whose first credit is, impressively, The Kids Are All Right — will shepherd the project.  Shooting begins next month in Los Angeles.

GHOST RIDER: SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE Rolls into Comic-Con

Yesterday, we reported that The Amazing Spider-Man would be swinging into the 2011 San Diego Comic-Con.  Today, directors Neveldine/Taylor (Crank) have tweeted that their new film,Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance will also be rolling into this year’s con. Of course, Spider-Man has built up tons of good will over the past decade and has always been a beloved character.  Ghost Rider is a biker tattoo that became comic book character who then got a crummy movie.  Neveldine/Taylor will have to convince a skeptical audience that even though the sequel still stars Nicolas Cage, this is a different beast than the last Ghost Rider.  The duo also tweeted:

not sure where the last one came from, but this GR comes from nightmares.

And I’m not sure what that means, but I’m eager to see a film that wants to be as different from the last Ghost Rider as possible.  The 2011 San Diego Comic-Con runs from July 21 – 24th.  Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance opens February 17, 2012.

Terrence Malick Instructs Projectionists on How to Show THE TREE OF LIFE

It looks like proper film projection is a dying art.  At my Atlanta press screening for X-Men: First Class earlier this week, the image was fuzzy.  Getting the image in focus is Projection 101 and it looks like projectionists for the major theater chains are flunking that class.

That’s why it’s bittersweet that Terrence Malick has sent out a letter of instruction to projections who show his new film The Tree of Life.  While I had some issues with the film, it’s indisputably gorgeous and it deserves to be shown in the highest quality.  Hit the jump for Malick’s four requests and why I think they won’t be followed.

Here are the four instructions from Malick’s letter as reported by the San Diego Reader [via The Playlist]:

1.) Project the film in 1.85:1 aspect ratio

2.) Set the fader on Dolby and DTS systems to 7.5 or 7.7 (higher than the standard setting of 7)

3.) With no opening credits, he asks that the “lights down cue is well before the opening frame of reel 1.”

4.) Projection lamps should be at “Proper standard (5400 Kelvin)” and that the “foot Lambert level is at Standard 14.”

Unless you go to the Alamo Drafthouse or various theaters in the Los Angeles area, do you honestly expect projectionists to do this?  I’m at the point where I’ll be happy if the image is in focus.  That’s how low my expectations have dropped.  Not about brightness levels, not about getting high sound quality.  Just make sure everything on screen isn’t fuzzy.

Sigh.  The Tree of Life is expanding this weekend to Chicago, Boston, Washington D.C, Atlanta, Minneapolis, Austin, and Dallas.  Sound off in the comments section if you go to see it and want to let everyone know about the quality of the projection.

Selena Gomez Excludes Controversial Pink Horses From Music Video

There won't be any pink horses in Selena Gomez's upcoming "Love You Like a Love Song" music video despite on-set pictures which suggested otherwise. The Disney star, who was slammed by Pink for using the painted animal to shoot the clip two weeks ago, has decided to cut the horse scene because she "was not so comfortable with the whole concept." 

According to E! News, Selena had no idea that the horse would be painted. "When Selena was presented the idea for the video, no one informed her the horses would be painted and she had assumed they would be colored in post-production [via special effects]," a production insider said. "When she showed up to the set she was very surprised to see them painted."

Selena filmed the controversial scene on May 19 on the beach of Malibu in Los Angeles, CA with Oliver Seitz as her love interest. Soon after the pink horse pictures made their way out on the web, animal lover Pink blasted the teen singer, "If there are any animal activists around Malibu- at Leo Cabrillo State Beach, there are horses being painted for a stupid music video. Shame."

In response to the complaint, Selena's rep was quick to assure that the animals were not in any danger. "It was important to the Production Company, Record Label and Ms. Gomez that no animals were harmed and all proper precautions were taken," the rep issued defensive statement. "A non toxic, vegetable based powder paint was applied via an airbrush and removed with water. An official from the Humane Society was on set supervising."

However, a PETA spokesperson argued, "There are no safe ways to paint a live horse or any animal. They can have painful allergic reactions to chemicals and there's no way to know how an individual animal will react. Also, subjecting skittish animals like horses to extended periods of restraint and spraying is stressful and frightening."

"Love You Like a Love Song" is taken from "When the Sun Goes Down", Selena's upcoming studio album with The Scene. The CD is due in the U.S. on June 28 and will be preceded with the release of at least three songs. One is called "Bang Bang Bang" (June 7), another is "Dices" (June 14), and the other is "Love You Like a Love Song" itself (June 21). Music video for the third promotional track will be premiered one day after the song debut.

The other songs making the cut to the new album are revealed in the following tracklisting:

1. "Love You Like a Love Song"
2. "Bang Bang Bang"
3. "Who Says"
4. "We Own the Night"
5. "Hit the Lights"
6. "Whiplash"
7. "When the Sun Goes Down"
8. "My Dilemma"
9. "That's More Like It"
10. "Outlaw"
11. "Middle of Nowhere"
12. "Dices" ("Who Says" Spanish version)

Now, directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor have hinted that the film will be brought to 2011 San Diego Comic-Con. Taking to their Twitter page, Neveldine/Taylor posted, "can't wait to reveal the evolved GR...... comicon seems like a year away."

Lindsay Lohan's Ankle Bracelet Replaced After Going Off at Home

False alarm has been sent by Lindsay Lohan's electronic ankle bracelet less than a week after she began her house arrest. On Monday, May 30, probation officials visited the "Gotti: Three Generations" actress' Venice townhouse after the monitoring device went off, but the Los Angeles Times reported they found her at home watching TV, reading scripts and posing for rooftop photos. 


The 24-year-old actress' lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, confirmed on Thursday, June 2 that electronic monitoring system did go off on Monday. In a released statement, the attorney said, "When a representative from the monitoring company went to her home, the representative found Lindsay there." She went on to note that "the equipment was replaced the following day." 


A spokesman for Lindsay, Steve Honig, additionally explained to the Los Angeles Times that the visit made by probation officials was a "part of standard procedure to make sure the monitoring equipment was working properly." While it is still unclear why her device went off, sources suggested it could be the result of a malfunction. 


Lindsay was previously sentenced to four months in jail after pleading no contest in the theft case involving $2,500 necklace. However, because of jail overcrowding issues and the fact that she is not a violent offender, the actress was eligible for house arrest. She began to serve the sentence on May 26, and is expected to serve only 35 days of confinement. 


Under her house arrest term, the actress is allowed to leave home only for medical appointments or to go to the probation department. She is allowed visitors as well, but cannot consume alcohol or narcotics. Probation officials can also enter her home at any time to make sure she is in compliance with her requirements.

Amy Winehouse Lasted Only Seven Days in Rehab

Amy Winehouse sought treatment for "alcohol addiction" at a prestigious rehab center in London last Wednesday, May 25, but she apparently didn't stay in rehab for long. The "Back to Black" singer has checked out of the treatment program after only a week at the Priory Clinic, her representative has confirmed. 


On Thursday, June 2, spokesman Chris Goodman told the Associated Press that Amy will continue to seek outpatient treatment. The rep added that the 27-year-old is looking forward to touring Europe this summer and is "raring to go." Chris, however, did not mention why the "Rehab" singer was seeking treatment.


It was reported earlier that Amy checked into the Priory Clinic on her father's suggestion. A source told People, "Her dad sat her down and said 'I think you're drinking too much again.' So she agreed to go an assessment to stop it becoming a bigger problem." Words were, the singer downed a small bottle of Smirnoff vodka on the way to the clinic. 


Amy is expected to kick off a European concert series on June 18. When announcing the singer's latest rehab stint last week, Chris pointed out that she "wants to be ready for performances in Europe this summer and decided to seek an assessment."

Nude Photo Leaked, Tito Ortiz Claims He's Hacked

Mixed martial artist Tito Ortiz has fallen victim to hacker. On Thursday, May 2, the former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion has had a full-frontal naked photo of himself being leaked out via his Twitter page. After the picture got out, he removed it before offering explanation to his followers by tweeting, "Someone hack my f****ng phone." 


In a following tweet, Jenna Jameson's baby daddy sent out apology for the leaked nude photo. "Sorry people," so he wrote. The 36-year-old later added in another posting, "Oh well I can't do anything about it. They change my password so I can't get in it. Sorry! day goes on. Don't like don't look." 


The revealing photo of Tito appears to be a self-portrait snap taken using his cell phone. According to TMZ, the image was uploaded to the MMA fighter's personal photo-sharing website which is connected through his Twitter page. 


Tito isn't the only celebrity hit by nude picture scandal this week. Blake Lively has been forced to come out with a denial when photos of a naked girl who looks like her were leaked out on Tuesday evening, May 31. Through her representative, she insisted that the images are fake and threatened to sue any publication reprinting the images. 


Soon thereafter, the hacker who posted those racy images came out with seventeen more images and insisted that the girl is Blake. Along with the new photos, the hacker wrote, "Oh, yes, Blake's rep. These are totally fake. We really, really believe you. Want moar? BTW, thanks for all the fats."

Heidi Klum Strips Naked to Promote 'Project Runway' Season 9

Heidi Klum strips down to her birthday suit in a campaign for the ninth season of "Project Runway". The Germany-born super model has joined a photo shoot for the fashion competition series earlier this week, but "she has yet to sign off on a final image," The Hollywood Reporter reports. 

The network's president and general manager Nancy Dubuc announced the marketing plan during a broad-ranging discussion at Real Screen's Factual Entertainment Forum on Thursday, June 2. She also revealed that the effort is part of Lifetime's campaign to introduce its sexier image. 

Dubuc stated Lifetime aims to move away from "women in peril" stereotype, which has been attached to the network in the last few year, by celebrating female characters who are brazen, strong, confident and sexy. By featuring "Project Runaway" host Klum in her naked model figure, the network wants to showcase a woman who has all of those attributes, so Dubuc explained. 

"Project Runway" season 9 will premiere this summer. In addition to the regular version, Lifetime has also ordered eight one-hour episodes of "Project Runway All Stars" which will feature past contestants. The show is slated to air during 2011-2012 television season.

Rihanna Talks 'Man Down' Video With BET: It's Not for Critics, It's for Fans

After taking to her Twitter to respond to the controversy surrounding her music video for single "Man Down", Rihanna did an interview with BET via phone to continue defending herself. Despite the complaint, she said her fans understood the "underlying" message. "That was really important to me. This is a story for them. It's not for the critics. It's for my fans," she stated. 


Talking further about the dramatic storyline, RiRi said, " 'Man Down' is a song about a girl who committed a murder that she regrets and is completely remorseful about it. In making that into a mini-movie or a video, we needed to go back to why it happened, because obviously she's not a cold-blooded killer...and we decided to hone in on a very serious matter that people are afraid to address." 


Insisting she never meant to create any controversy, RiRi argued that despite the complaint, "[many] girls are empowered by this [video]." She previously re-tweeted a bunch of her fans' messages which mentioned that they were inspired by the Anthony Mandler-directed music video. One of them read, "Your video means so much to me ! gives me confidence and hope to be carfeul and not mistake Bull**** for love." 


Hours later, she fired off a more direct response to the criticism. She posted in a series of tweets, "I'm a 23 year old rockstar with NO KIDS! What's up with everybody wantin me to be a parent? I'm just a girl, I can only be your/our voice! Cuz we all know how difficult/embarrassing it is to communicate touchy subject matters to anyone especially our parents! And this is why! Cuz we turn the other cheek! U can't hide your kids from society, or they'll never learn how to adapt! This is the REAL WORLD!" 


At around the same hour, her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown wrote a message which raised people's question about whom he's talking about. The "Yeah 3x" singer posted, "I never claim to be no saint but by no means am I trying to promote death, violence, and destruction with my music!" Before people linked it to the "Man Down" case, he quickly added another message, "And for all the idiots in the audience this convo wasn't for @rihanna." 


It was later known that Breezy blasted Tyler, the Creator of Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All. It's a response to Tyler's posting which read, "Why Is Chris Brown Talking So Much S*** About Metallica? Weird." He fueled Breezy's anger by dropping an insulting comment about his blond hair, "Ni**a Look Like A Box Of Pops." He then closed the war of words with, "@chrisbrown Do You Like Soup? Cause You're Acting Like It."

Kim Kardashian: I Am NOT Pregnant

Kim Kardashian isn't going to stay quiet about the pregnancy rumors hitting her. The newly-engaged star of "Kourtney and Kim Take New York" has responded to OK! Magazine's cover story suggesting she is "having a baby". Setting the record straight, she wrote on her official blog, "This is crazy! I am NOT pregnant!" 

"Magazines can be so tricky with their wording! The inside states that one day I want a baby! But I'm not pregnant!" stressed the 30-year-old TV personality. "I can foresee lots of crazy, made up stories coming out in the near future and I certainly don't have time to shut down every rumor. But believe that if you hear it from me, it will be true. Otherwise, don't always believe what you read, dolls." 

Kim recently got engaged to NBA star Kris Humphries. In addition to reporting about the engagement, OK! claimed that the couple "are going to have a baby".

Lady GaGa to Remix 'Born This Way' Songs for South Asia

Lady GaGa's "Born This Way" may have reached a million copies mark in the U.S. but it is set to sell further now that she's going to do a remix. In a bid to expand her influence, the controversial singer has teamed up with Bollywood producers to revamp her songs for South Asian fans. 


"The reason I'm going to India now is because I can," GaGa told Wall Street Journal. "I didn't have the money or the resources before to travel and bring all of my things with me and reach an entire new territory of fans." 


The marketing campaign for India begins with a collaboration between her and Desi Hits. The company which is based in New York will distribute the entertainment content to South Asian regions and create her brand. 


"She's expanding her base," said her manager Troy Carter. "In the last album cycle we toured a lot of places in the world, but there were still some territories that we weren't able to go and spend time and really work. India was one of those places." 


Desi Hits has worked with other Hollywood artists before such as 50 Cent, Akon, Britney Spears and Enrique Iglesias. The remix of GaGa's title track "Born This Way" by Salim and Sulaiman had been featured on DesiHits.com.

New Trailer and Clip for HORRIBLE BOSSES; First Clips from BAD TEACHER

This post contains a few video treats from two of this summer’s R-rated comedies with two-word titles.  Firstly, Warner Bros. has released a new trailer for Horrible Bosses, led by Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, and Charlie Day.  There is enough in common with the first trailer that I was initially unable to distinguish between the two, but there is enough new footage to be worth a look.  Even better, the new trailer is accompanied by a Horrible Bosses clip (approximately 97% new footage) which features the three stars on a stakeout.  Horrible Bosses opens July 8.

To accommodate my theme, Columbia has released the first two clips for Bad Teacher starring Cameron Diaz, Justin Timberlake, and Jason Segel.  I found one of the clips quite funny — the other less so.  Let’s see how well you know me in the comments!  Bad Teacher opens June 24.  Watch the whole shebang after the break.

Horrible Bosses

Trailer via The Movie Box.  Clip via MTV.

Click here for all our Horrible Bosses coverage.  The official synopsis:

For Nick (Bateman), Kurt (Sudeikis) and Dale (Day), the only thing that would make the daily grind more tolerable would be to grind their intolerable bosses (Spacey, Farrell, Aniston) into dust. Quitting is not an option, so, with the benefit of a few-too-many drinks and some dubious advice from a hustling ex-con (Foxx), the three friends devise a convoluted and seemingly foolproof plan to rid themselves of their respective employers…permanently. There’s only one problem: even the best laid plans are only as foolproof as the brains behind them.

Bad Teacher

Clips via Yahoo! and MSN.

Click here for all our Bad Teacher coverage.  L’official synopsis:

Some teachers just don’t give an F. For example, there’s Elizabeth (Cameron Diaz). She’s foul-mouthed, ruthless, and inappropriate. She drinks, she gets high, and she can’t wait to marry her meal ticket and get out of her bogus day job. When she’s dumped by her fiancé, she sets her plan in motion to win over a rich, handsome substitute (Justin Timberlake) – competing for his affections with an overly energetic colleague, Amy (Lucy Punch). When Elizabeth also finds herself fighting off the advances of a sarcastic, irreverent gym teacher (Jason Segel), the consequences of her wild and outrageous schemes give her students, her coworkers, and even herself an education like no other.

Rihanna Defends Violent 'Man Down' Music Video After PTC Attack

In response to the complaint made by Parents Television Council due to the murder scene of her recently-premiered "Man Down" music video, Rihanna took to Twitter on June 1 to defend herself. In most of her recent tweets, she mentioned that the clip is meant to deliver positive message and not the other way around. 


RiRi didn't directly mention the PTC complaint, but she repeatedly re-tweeted her fans' messages which mentioned that they were inspired by the music video. One of them read, "Your video means so much to me ! gives me confidence and hope to be carfeul and not mistake Bull**** for love." Another read, "ManDown Is Powerful!! Amazing Song, Brilliant Message." 


Earlier in the day, she wrote, "Young girls/women all over the world...we are a lot of things! We're strong innocent fun flirtatious vulnerable, and sometimes our innocence can cause us to be naive! We always think it could NEVER be us, but in reality, it can happen to ANY of us! So ladies be careful and #listentoyomama! I love you and I care!" 


Directed by Anthony Mandler and filmed in Jamaica last April, the video features RiRi as an island carefree girl who turns into a killer after becoming the victim of a sexual assault. Instead of seeking help and reporting the assault to the authority, she takes the matter into her own hands by shooting him down in a crowded train station. 


In a press release, Melissa Henson director of communications and public education for the PTC said, "Rihanna's personal story and status as a celebrity superstar provided a golden opportunity for the singer to send an important message to female victims of rape and domestic violence." 


Before the video premiere, RiRi mentioned the video has a "very strong underlying message 4 girls" to stay safe, but Melissa argued the visualization could mislead them. "Instead of telling victims they should seek help, Rihanna released a music video that gives retaliation in the form of premeditated murder the imprimatur of acceptability," she said. 


In line with the PTC statement, Paul Porter of Enough Is Enough Campaign and a former voice of BET said, "If Chris Brown shot a woman in his new video and BET premiered it, the world would stop. Rihanna should not get a pass and BET should know better. The video is far from broadcast worthy."

Justin Timberlake Not Hooking-Up With Ashley Olsen

Ever since he broke up from longtime girlfriend Jessica Biel, Justin Timberlake has been linked to a number of single ladies in Hollywood. Most recently, the "Bad Teacher" actor was rumored to be hooking up with Ashley Olsen. His representative, however, was quick to deny the dating report. 


When setting the record straight, Justin's rep also shot down rumor that Justin might be romancing Olivia Wilde. "Justin is friends with both Olivia and Ashley," the rep told E! Online. "He is not romantically involved with either. He is single." A friend of the singer-turned-actor added, "Justin and Ashley have a ton of mutual friends. Yeah, they were hanging out. But there is nothing going on." 


News of Justin's possible hook-up with Ashley was brought up by Us Weekly. In its latest issue, the publication claimed that the two single stars have been inseparable in and around New York City, noting that they were spotted together at the Greenwich Hotel, a "Saturday Night Live" afterparty, two Broadway shows and a polo match. 


The magazine went further by citing a so-called inside source who confirmed that Justin and Ashley "are hooking up." Another source was also quoted as saying that the "SexyBack" singer and the former girlfriend of Justin Bartha are "really trying to keep it on the down-low." 


Justin himself recently opened up that he hasn't been in contact with ex-girlfriend Britney Spears for years. In an interview with Vanity Fair, the "Friends with Benefits" actor confessed, "We haven't spoken in 9 or 10 years." He explained, "We were two birds of the same feather - small-town kids, doing the same thing. But then you become adults, and the way you were as kids doesn't make any sense." 


The 30-year-old went on to share, "I won't speak on her, but at least for me, I was a totally different person. I just don't think we were normal; there was nothing normal about our existence. We spent way too much time being the biggest thing for teenyboppers." 


As for his most recent ex Jessica, Justin dubbed her as "the single-handedly most significant person" in his life. He elaborated his remark, "In my 30 years, she is the most special person, O.K.? ... I don't want to say much more, because I have to protect things that are dear to me - for instance, her."

Death threats apparently could not stop Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez from getting even serious with their romantic relationship. After getting hot and heavy in Hawaii during a recent vacation, the teen couple made a trip to Justin's hometown in Canada where Selena got to meet his extended family.

Justin and Selena were also seen spending time with his father Jeremy and half-siblings, Jazmyn and Jaxon, at a local park. An eyewitness shared to Us Magazine, "They looked like one big happy family. The little kids took to Selena straight away and they were all laughing and joking around. They couldn't have been happier." 


Justin has been dating Selena for a little over six months. Ever since the pair were spotted showing off their affection publicly, Selena has received numerous death threats from many of Justin's devoted fans.
