Selena Gomez “terrified” of Justin Bieber fans

Ever since Justin and Selena went public at a Vanity Fair Oscars party last month, sources tell the tabloid that death threats against Gomez have intensified. Many Beliebers have transitioned from passionate to disturbing.

“Selena’s terrified,” says the insider. “She’s only young and when she sees things written about her, she understandably freaks out. Justin tries to reassure her, but what can he do?”

One Twitter message read: “Roses are red, violets are blue, @selenagomez if you’ll break @justinbieber’s heart I’m gonna kill you”. Those Bieber fans are poetic, so you know they’re true.

Selena went on Late Night with David Letterman last night and discussed her relationship with The Biebs, saying, “He’s been in my life for so long, and it’s just nice to have someone that understands what you’re going through.” The two of them have been friends for about two years, but only recently began dating after his manager called her mom, who happens to be her manager. Her mom is a marketing genius.

Selena has also stated that her new song, “Who Says” is dedicated to the critics.

“This song is such a great message to my fans, and it really touched me when I heard it. Basically, it’s to the haters, it’s to the people who try to bring you down.”

Good song, but I doubt it’s going to slow down the Beliebers. Here’s what I think she needs to do. She’s 18 now so she should look for someone not in show business. Someone older than Bieber. Much older. Maybe someone in the media. A blogger perhaps. She’d be much safer with someone like that, I think.
