Things between Chris and Rihanna have hit such a rough patch once again that the pop princess didn’t even share her sexy new ‘Complex’ photo shoot with him! A source reveals to HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY that Chris is ‘sad’ over the state of affairs. Read on for all the inside scoop!

Chris Brown and Rihanna‘s relationship is nearly impossible to chart. One day, they’re fine; the next, they’re not speaking. As the tumultuous couple have hit another bump in the road, we’ve learned that Chris, 23, is “sad” over the lack of communication between the two!

A source close to Chris tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively that he and Rihanna, 24, aren’t talking at the moment, and it’s bumming Chris out! “I can’t even tell you what’s going on with them — they ain’t talking right now. I don’t know what the f**k is going on but they ain’t seeing eye to eye on some s**t…So they cool on each other…” our insider says.

“[He's] sad but, you know, that’s how it is sometimes. I know this back and forth s**t ain’t the business for him…but hey, he’ll figure it out.”

Rihanna’s Withholding Sexy Photos From Chris Brown

As for whether Chris has seen Rihanna’s sexy new photo spread in Complex magazine — the sort of thing the pop star usually sends to him personally — our source says that Breezy saw the pics, but not because Rihanna wanted him to.

“…Of course he did, but this time he saw it on Google alerts or whatever. Ri didn’t send it to him personally. He thinks she looks bomb. He always thinks she looks good no matter what. That’s his girl deep down but if you ask me, they be playing games and s**t, going back and forth.”

Are you surprised that Rihanna and Chris have hit another bump in the road, HollywoodLifers? Do you think they’ll start talking again soon?

Hollywood Life: ‘The Lying Game’ Recap: Has Emma Given Up On Ethan For Good?

Jan 16th 2013, 04:24

Plus, is Alec really innocent after all? This is madness.

The twins’ love lives got even more complicated on the Jan. 15 episode of The Lying Game, as Emma (Alexandra Chando) gave Sutton her blessing to pursue Ethan (Blair Redford). Like she really needed it. Meanwhile, Emma finally gave into her feelings for Thayer (Christian Alexander), which sent Ethan into a jealous/drunken stupor — and straight into Sutton’s bed.

Mads (Alice Greczyn) paid a visit to Alec (Adrian Pasdar) in prison, and somehow he was able to convince her he was merely “holding” the tire iron in the infamous photo, rather than using it to kill Derek. Even crazier, he might be telling the truth! Tyler and Theresa tracked down the woman who planted the tire iron in Alec’s bag, though she has no idea who paid her. Oh well.

Later, during a fit of bitch-fueled rage, Mads called Thayer out for not even really being Alec’s son. As it turns out, Thayer’s biological dad left him and his mom when he was a kid; then when he returned years later, Thayer chose to stay with Alec and Mads.

Just checking, is Laurel (Allie Gonino) the only character without some kind of wacky familial background? They should retitle this show The Paternity Game.

Speaking of Laurel, she got to perform at Jordan’s (Ryan Rottman) party, which was really just a ruse for him to get closer to her. There were a lot of ruses going on this week, actually.

As for Ted and Kristen’s marriage? Don’t hold your breath. Therapy was a disaster, as expected, and Rebecca (Charisma Carpenter) was lurking in the shadows, ready to pick up the pieces. She’s so good at picking up pieces.

What did you think of this week’s episode? Is Alec really innocent, or is he just really clever? And do you approve of the Emma/Thayer, Sutton/Ethan pairings? Drop me a comment with your personal review!

NCIS Recap: You Are Not Alone
Jan 16th 2013, 04:00

This Tuesday on CBS’ NCIS, Agent Ziva David and Director Leon Vance dealt with the devastating loss of loved ones, while Gibbs’ team worked overtime to find out who was responsible.

The episodes opened with Ziva in temple, praying — as well as questioning G-d, “Why should I not be angry, with all that has been taken? Show me, why I should not lose hope?” Tony interrupts, having had McGee do his “ping” thing to locate her, to see what Ziva wants. “Sympathy is the last thing I want right now,” she says. Rather, she needs “revenge.”

At NCIS, Jarvis says the Secretary of State has given them 48 hours to find the man who ordered the assault before Israel gets lopped in. He then grumbles that he should have been told that Eli was in the States, since a lot of finger-pointing and wagon-circling will happen once his death gets out. Down in the morgue, Ducky tells Gibbs that the shooter, a Swede/former Special Forces guy named Ames, was dying anyway, so Gibbs, McGee and Tony deduce that he must have left someone behind for his payday to go to.

Deputy Director Craig (played by Greg Germann) arrives, introduced in such a way that we are led to believe Gibbs & Co. deal with him intermittently (even though we are just seeing him for the first time). Vance wants to be involved in the case, but Jarvis says Craig must handle the day-to-day. Similarly, Ziva tries to pick Abby’s brain about the bullets, to no avail, being on the same “too close to the case” list.

Gibbs tracks down Eli’s Iranian liaison, Kazmi, then brings him to NCIS to share the news of David’s death. Gibbs suggests that the gents’ plan to make peace was the perfect set-up for Eli’s murder, but Kazmi argues differently and in that spirit he will have his VIVAC files (intel) sent over. Meanwhile, McGee (aka “Timmy”) strikes up a video chat with Gavriela, who (when she’s not brushing off DiNozzo) says that a group called First Wave, funded by an American millionaire names Gustafson, might wish Eli harm.

Soundbite break: “So help me, McBlivious, if you don’t pounce on that hot Israeli action I’ll never forgive you… She’s caught the McFever and you’re the only cure.”

Tony brings in this Gustafson guy, who makes no bones about backing First Wave or the problems the likes of Eli cause, but argues, “My feelings [about the Israelis] are strictly business.” Vance interrupts to ask the suspect his feelings about “collateral damage” and innocent blood spilled. After Tony and Gibbs hold Leon back, Craig is forced to ask him to take administrative leave.

Ziva visits her father;s drawer in the morgue, but declines Ducky’s offer to see him. “Farewells are always difficult; closure even more so,” Ducky notes. Recognizing her religious need to bury her father within a matter of days, Ducky promises to do his best to release Eli’s body ASAP. Gibbs then urges Ziva to “go be fine, just not here,” so she makes camp at Tony’s. When Tony says he’ll grab an air mattress, she asks about the couch — and Tony says it’s already taken, by Shmiel. A pleased Ziva mouths “Thank you” to Tony as she hugs her old friend.

At NCIS, Mossad Deputy Direct Ilan Bodnar (played of course by Oded Fehr) storms in, looking for his mentor Eli and asking to see the man in charge. McGee breathes deep and tries to step up, but Bodnar wants the SecNav! Meanwhile at Tony’s, when he tries to console Ziva after a bad dream, she rebuffs, saying, “Leave me alone…. I’m fine. really.” Back at NCIS, Craig beliefs Bodnar, who refuses to “stand by and wait for [NCIS] to do your job.” Craig says Oh yes you will, that NCIS gets dibs on the manhunt, while the Mossad can handle prosecution. “I make no promises,” Bodnar responds. “You do what you must, we will do what we must.”

Gibbs meets up with Vance, whose kids want answers beyond random “intruder.” Vance adds that this ordeal “made me better understand your choices. I wasn’t close. I never wanted that kind of justice before, but now it’s all I think about. It had to be some relief.” Vance’s last words to his friend: “Do me a favor: get these bastards.”

When Tony finds Ziva covertly emailing from his laptop, she reveals that she was communicating with her father’s protegé Ilan, then lashes out about Tony not saying Ilan had been briefed. “What do you want me to say? The guy is Mossad,” DiNozzo explains. “I was Mossad!” Ziva retorts. Tony: “And now you are the daughter of a dead man — let yourself act like one.”

McGee and Abby trace the bullets to an Iranian arms dealer whose name was conspicuously missing from Kazmi’s VIVAC files, so Gibbs smells a rat. Craig concurs that it could be a cover-up, yet both he and Gibbs take Kazmi at his word. Bodnar then shows up, having discovered Eli’s real reason for being in the States. Further infuriating him is the news that Kazmi, “Eli’s killer,” is in NCIS custody. He storms off, resolved to alerting his prime minister: “If the result is war, it is your fault, not ours.”

As Ziva later takes a video call from Ilan, Kazmi relays to Gibbs that there was a conspicuous six-hour delay from the time they sent the VIVAC files to NCIS and when they were received — and thus they likely were hacked to redact the Iranian arms dealer’s name. When the money trail to the shooter leads to an account nicknamed “Virtue,” Ziva reveals that in Hebrew that is Ilan’s middle name! Gibbs and Tony race to DiNozzo’s place, while Ziva fetches the gun Tony keeps strapped to the back of the toilet “Godfather-style.” Bodnar doesn’t show, however, and instead is “in the wind,” his hotel room scrubbed clean. Shortly after Gibbs commends Kazmi on what he and Eli tried to do, Kazmi’s transport SUV is blown to bits.

That night, Ziva is at the airfield waiting to take Eli’s body to Israel. “Someone has come to see you off,” Shmiel notes — and it’s Tony. “You did not have to come,” Ziva says. Tony assures her that he and everyone will find Bodnar, and urges her, “Don’t do this,” seeking her own revenge.

“I’m going to a funeral, to deliver my father’s eulogy,” she responds. “He was not an easy man to understand, and yet…. Tony, I….” Ziva leans forward into a warm embrace with Tony, her face behind him displaying a sense of comfort. “Aht lo leh-vahd,” Tony whispers in her ear. You are not alone. “I know,” she smiles as she walks away. A closing montage, set to Patty Griffin’s “You Are Not Alone,” alternates between Ziva in Israel picking olives, planting a tree and leaving a note at the Wailing Wall, and Jackie Vance’s funeral.

Hollywood Life: ‘Pretty Little Liars’ Recap: Aria Learns A Twisted New Secret About Byron

Hollywood Life
Latest Hollywood Gossip, News & Celeb Pics
thumbnail 'Pretty Little Liars' Recap: Aria Learns A Twisted New Secret About Byron
Jan 16th 2013, 02:48

Byron’s mistress dropped a bombshell on Aria this week that could tie him to the show’s biggest mystery!

I’m no detective, clearly, but after watching the Jan. 15 episode of Pretty Little Liars, I think it’s safe to say Byron (Chad Lowe) is looking pretty guilty. Not only is he a creepy dad to Aria (Lucy Hale) and a potentially abusive boyfriend to Meredith (Amanda Schull), but given the new information revealed by his mistress-turned-girlfriend, it’s also very possible he killed Alison (Sasha Pieterse)!

Aria and Meredith bonded over their mutual annoyance with Mr. Lowe — they obviously don’t see eye to eye with Lena Dunham — and Meredith dropped a pretty big bombshell: She knew that Alison had been blackmailing Byron. In fact, Byron came to visit Meredith the night Alison disappeared, but he left her apartment to meet up with Ali!

Of course, you have to wonder: Was Meredith really telling Aria the truth, or does she have something to cover up, herself?

Lucas Remains The Creepiest

With Caleb (Tyler Blackburn) inexplicably missing from this week’s episode, Hanna (Ashley Benson) was forced to confront Lucas (Brendan Robinson) alone to pump him for details about Mona (Janel Parrish). Which is a great idea, considering one of the last times she was alone with him, he TRIED TO KILL HER IN A LAKE.

Anyway, Lucas told her he’s dropping out of Rosewood High because Mona is still torturing him, which prompted Hanna to get all up in Mona’s face like never before. “I know you’re still ‘A’,” the formerly hefty one screamed at Mona, before telling her to stay out of her life forever.

Oh, did I forget to mention Lucas also admitted to starting the fire last week? And to being in the basement earlier in this episode? That kid is not to be trusted.

Paige Traumatic Stress Disorder

Paige (Lindsey Shaw) had herself a little meltdown while out on a romantic — and by “romantic,” I mean terrifying — drive through the woods with Emily (Shay Mitchell). Like, full on hyperventilation. Apparently she’s the only person left in Rosewood with a healthy sense of fear, and she hasn’t been able to pull it together since Halloween. And as if she wasn’t stressed out enough already, Paige discovered “A” slashed her tires, so Emily ran off after him — it was Toby (Keegan Allen) this time — into the night.

Later on, Emily sat Paige down and delivered a really nice speech about not living in fear. Jodie Foster would be proud, for sure, but I’m not convinced. “A” has historically targeted Emily more than any of the other liars; I think she has every right to be scared out of her mind.

Mind Over Mona

Spencer (Troian Bellisario) literally went head to head with Mona as they competed for the title of Queen Nerd — I mean head of the academic decathlon — and it was a rough couple of rounds. They said a lot of words I didn’t understand, mostly Middle Eastern countries, until Mona ended up the victor.

(Side note: Brandon Jones, the actor who plays “nerdy” Andrew, couldn’t be any less nerdy in real life. Please enjoy this picture and this picture and this picture. You’re welcome.)

What did you think of this week’s episode? Do you believe Byron could have had something to do with Ali’s death, or is Meredith being sneaky? Drop me a comment with your latest thoughts and theories!

Jan 16th 2013, 02:17

Taylor let all her Twitter followers know that she’s keeping busy after her break-up with Harry by getting back into the recording studio, but is she hard at work writing songs about her ex?

With Taylor Swift‘s relationship with Harry Styles firmly over, it’s time for the Red singer to do what she does best: write some scathing new revenge songs! It looks like she may be doing just that, as she shared a new photo of herself in a recording studio on Jan. 15. Should Harry be worried?

The 23-year-old singer shared a photo of herself on her Twitter account, showing the songstress holding an acoustic guitar, with the caption, “Somewhere in LA…” This photo comes just a few days after Taylor was photographed walking into a studio on Jan. 10. On that same day, she tweeted, “Back in the studio. Uh oh…”

Taylor Swift Hard At Work Writing About Harry Styles

Uh-oh may be just the thing that Harry, 18, is saying to himself as he sees all these new reports. As The Sun reports, Taylor has already written five songs about him! A source tells the paper, "Taylor writes music in the same way that other women chat to their friends on the phone. It's been how she deals with her emotions for most of her life. Harry and Taylor only dated for a short time but there were very strong feelings, so it's been a tough comedown."

Though Taylor is writing up a storm, there’s no guarantee that these songs will ever see the light of day — something that be music to Harry’s ears. “Lyrics have been written, but Taylor hasn't come close to deciding whether she'll ever release them. A song about it will surface at some point but it won't be anything like the way she had a dig at her other ex John Mayer in one of her other tracks,” the source adds

Do you want Taylor to write songs about Harry, HollywoodLifers?

Hollywood Life: Katie Beers Breaks Her Silence — Kidnapped & Abused At Age 10

Hollywood Life
Latest Hollywood Gossip, News & Celeb Pics
thumbnail Katie Beers Breaks Her Silence — Kidnapped & Abused At Age 10
Jan 16th 2013, 01:44

After twenty years, a brave Katie Beers now comes forward with her horrific and inspirational true life story — a story she hopes will help those suffering from violence and abuse. Read on for more details.

When Katie Beers, 30, was just 10-year-old, living in Long Island, she was kidnapped, made into a sex slave and forced to live in a dungeon. Until now, the only public words we ever heard from Katie were back in 1993 in a frightful phone message, "Aunt Linda, a man kidnapped me and has a knife, and oh no, here he comes right now.”

Fast forward 20 years, Katie now shares her riveting story with her new book  Buried Memories: Katie Beers’ Story, which was released on Jan. 14.

Why Katie Beers Is Sharing Her Story

Katie, who is now married and a mother of two, told WCBS-TV, ”I was more concerned with trying to get free and trying to survive. Looking back, it's amazing to learn of the support I had from everybody.The remembering has been difficult because I buried it for so long.”

“I'm in a more mature place. With hindsight it is easier to recall things. My life now, I'm married, work full-time, and have two beautiful children," she said.

Kidnapping & Sexual Abuse

Just one day before her 10th birthday, the young Katie was kidnapped by her then neighbor John Esposito, who held her in captivity for 17 grueling days. According to the Daily Mail, who has a copy of the book, Katie was forced to live in chains in an underground hole which was two-feet wide, seven-feet long and three-feet high. Something like out of The Silence of The Lambs, one FBI agent later described.

“I told him if he would release me I would run away and not tell the police," Katie said. "I remember asking John how I would have children. He said I'd have children with him. I said no.”

Her captor finally gave himself in, and is now serving a 15 years prison term. Should be longer!

Katie’s Violent Home Life Prior To Kidnapping

Prior to being kidnapped, Katie lived in her own hell of emotional and sexual abuse. Her mother Marilyn Beers neglected her, and often left her in the care of her Godmother and her husband–Linda and Sal Inghilleri–who treated her like a “slave”. She was repeatedly raped by Sal, who was later sent to prison, where he died in 2009.

In the book, Katie says of her kidnapping ordeal, “Being abducted was, unfortunately, the best thing that happened to me, because it got me out of the abusive situation”.

Katie’s Miraculous Road to Recovery & Her Inspirational Message

When she was freed, Katie was adopted by a couple in East Hampton, New York, who showered her with love and care.

“I owe them my life”,  Katie says of her foster parents. “But you never fully recover. It’s with me every day, but it’s something I’ve learned to cope with.”

Katie also credits her husband, children, therapists, and graduating college for helping her with her incredible recovery.

"I just believe that if you are in an abusive situation, emotional, physical, sexual, spousal, whatever it might be, you need to get out of that situation," Katie said. “Find somebody to talk to, because if I didn't have somebody to talk to about the abuse I sustained, my life would be a completely different situation."

We are in such awe of this courageous person and thank Katie Beers from the bottom of our hearts for her inspiration and words of hope. There is always help for people who are being abused. Are YOU inspired by Katie’s story, HollywoodLifers?

Got a scoop request? An anonymous tip you're dying to share? Just want to say hello? Send any/all of the above to askausiello@tvline.com

Question: Anything on Grey’s Anatomy? It would really make my day! —Tia
Ausiello: You already know that the survivors strike it rich with the airplane lawsuit in this week’s episode. You also know after watching our exclusive first look clip that Callie is way more excited than the rest of the gang. But what you may not know is that “Callie wants to go out and celebrate,” reveals Ellen Pompeo. “But nobody is really into celebrating because it’s blood money. People died. Arizona lost her leg.” They decide to tag along anyway, leading to “a very awkward dinner,” says Pompeo. “But Callie has her reasons for wanting to celebrate and she explains it at the dinner.”

Question: Any Leonard and Amy-related Big Bang Theory scoop? —Troy
Ausiello: The show’s Valentine’s Day episode promises to be a hoot, mostly because “Amy tells Sheldon that she got him the perfect gift,” reveals exec producer Bill Prady. “And Sheldon doesn’t like gifts, so it’s a very difficult time for Sheldon trying to reciprocate.” A hint about said perfect gift? Teases Prady: “It’s not sexual. I’ll tell you that much.” Bonus Scoop: Episode 16 features a marriage proposal!

Question: Do you have any scoop about the Private Practice series finale? —Tara
Ausiello: What if I told you that in next Tuesday’s series finale, Parenthood‘s Sarah Ramos is guest-starring as… the entire Private Practice audience? Amy Brenneman told Matt Mitovich that Violet’s final storyline  is “this beautiful, metaphorical thing” in which a patient of five-plus years has trouble saying goodbye. “She’s ready to move on, but she’s like, ‘I need you.’ And I say things like, ‘We’ve been meeting together once a week for a little more than five years…. You’re going to be OK.,’” Brenneman previews” “And I am Shonda talking to our sweet audience.” (Hmm, does that mean the episode ends after 45 minutes?)

Question: Did you get any exciting scoop at the TCA press tour about what’s coming up on Bones in the second half of the season? —Cassidy
Ausiello: Yes! “Angela goes undercover as a roller-derby girl,” Michaela Conlin shared with us. “They need somebody to help them with a crime that occurs around a roller rink, and Angela used to skate, so it’s  very much in her wheelhouse” — presumably no pun intended. To prep for the wild ride, ” I got to train with the L.A. Derby Dolls, which was super-fun,” she said, “and fall a lot on my rear end!”

Question: Any more intel on the plot of Elementary‘s Super Bowl episode? —Joel
Ausiello: How’s this for a touchdown? An escaped murderer on the loose in New York City gets back to business as quickly as possible, and Sherlock’s paired with a FBI profiler (played by Covert Affairs‘ Kari Matchett) to figure out how to catch the killer (played by this guy). “We’ll find out that there’s something of a history there between Sherlock and this profiler,” previews executive producer Rob Doherty, who adds that Sherlock “has very strong feelings about profiling in general, but he has even stronger feelings about this particular character.” From what Doherty says, the post-Bowl episode sounds like a strong one. “We tried to find just the right amount of humor and action and backstory for that particular show.”

RELATED | Elementary Boss on Moriarty’s Entrance, Irene Adler and More!

Question: You must know what Modern Family‘s Gloria and Jay are going to name their baby – or at least whether it’s a boy or girl. How about giving us a hint? —Erica
Ausiello: I can confirm that the show’s adding a new… female! But it’s not what you’re thinking. She’s 40, she’s Gloria’s polished new friend and – though not a bombshell – she’s very educated.

Question: Is it too soon to ask about Unforgettable? —Lindsey
Ausiello: It’s a little early but I’ll allow it. Let’s start with the basics, Lindsey. You know it’s back for a second season on Sunday, July 28, yes? And that Michael Gaston, Kevin Rankin and Daya Vaidya (who played Detectives Mike Costello, Roe Saunders and Nina Inara) are no longer part of the full-time cast? Okay, on to new business. Looks like the show’s about to inject some fresh blood by way of two new Major Cases team members. The first, Eliot, is the intelligent, politically savvy new head of the division; in one of his first moves, he transfers Carrie and Al from Queens into his unit. Next is Jay, a whip-smart detective with a wide range of expertise in a lot of obscure topics – and I’m hearing that the show is willing to completely change his backstory if the right actor comes along.

Question: Would love some Arrow scoop, especially since we know you spoke to Stephen Amell at the Golden Globes. —M.J.
Ausiello: Nothing gets past you, M.J. I can offer up three pieces of information. One: Star Stephen Amell recently tweeted that the title of the upcoming Episode 16 should be “Holy S—balls!” Two: At the Golden Globes, he was stoked to elaborate. “In Episode 9, a lot of stuff happened. And in Episode 16, it’s just thing after thing after thing after thing happening and coming to a resolution or taking it in the next direction. And then, after all that, after the episode’s over, there’s the biggest cliffhanger.” And finally, three: One of the “things” he mentions is that Oliver’s secret is not as secret as he wants it to be.

Question: Any scoop on if/when Helena will return to Arrow? —Jason
Ausiello: EP Greg Berlanti assures us she’ll return. In fact, “We’re just writing that episode right now. We like to think of her as the crazy ex-girlfriend,” he says, laughing. “Her mission isn’t done nor complete yet in terms of: She wanted to kill her dad, and he’s still alive.”

Question: Anything on TV’s most underrated comedy The Middle? Are we ever going to see Jane Kaczmarek again? —Rebecca
Ausiello: I have it on good authority that the Malcolm in the Middle mom will be back later this season as dental diva Mrs. Armwood – and that she’ll front-and-center in a scene that involves Frankie, a tooth-scraping tool and severe bodily harm.

Miley is known to say things very deep and emotional over Twitter. Does her latest tweet reveal that something is wrong with her and Liam? Oh no!

Miley Cyrus certainly can’t be tamed, but she can definitely get emotional. After a new tweet on Jan. 15 about loss, is she talking about fiancé Liam Hemsworth or her recently deceased dog, Lila?

“I haven’t been the same since you left and I don’t know if I ever will be…” was the latest tweet from Miley that can be summed up, basically, as heartbreaking. The pop star had a tough time with the loss of her beloved dog, Lila, on Dec. 11, and her mother, Tish Cyrus, stated on her blog, “Miley loved Lila more than anyone can imagine. I know some people were saying its JUST a dog, but to Miley she was so much more."

Lila Was Killed By Miley Cyrus’ Other Dog, Ziggy!

Tish also mentioned the way that the tragic death occurred by saying, "The way that Lila was taken from [Miley] was beyond terrible. Sometimes things happen that we just can't understand. Miley still isn't ready to talk about it, but I thought you guys should know what happened. For some unknown reason, Ziggy.. grabbed Lila." And when that happened the family decided to give away Ziggy. Two dogs gone in an instant. Miley’s been heartbroken ever since, as her mother continued:

"Not really sure if she was playing or what? She grabbed her in just the wrong spot and Lila didn't survive.. Please understand that Miley isn't ready to talk about this and we dont think Ziggy is a mean dog.. We took Ziggy to SPOT dog rescue and they found her a new home with no other pets or children just in case it wasn't a fluke. So not only did Miley lose Lila, she feels she lost Ziggy as well," Tish finished.

But if its not about her dogs, could there be another horrible thing that happened to Miley? We can only hope all things improve for Miley sooner then later!

So HollywoodLifers, do you feel bad for Miley and her loss? Sound off below!

Jan 15th 2013, 20:03

Selena was reportedly spotted apartment hunting in LA on Jan. 14 and this is just one day after she hung out with Justin’s alleged other woman, Barbara Palvin at the Golden Globes after party! Maybe she discovered something that has made her want to totally start her life over?

Is Selena Gomez trying to distance herself further from Justin Bieber, literally? The 20-year-old actress was reportedly looking for a new pad on Jan. 14, after she was spotted at an office building in LA. She looks like she’s in the midst of intense texting, perhaps with Justin?

Read on for all the reasons why Selena would be moving!

Selena Can’t Trust Justin

Selena and Justin have been through a lot over the past few months. First, Justin was photographed backstage at the Victoria’s Secret fashion show on Nov. 7 with model Barbara Palvin. Then the next day they were spotted at The Lion King on Broadway on Nov. 8 and Selena posted a photo of them taken just hours before in what looked to possibly be a hotel room!

Selena posted the pic of Barbara, Justin and Lil Twist with the caption “…” and this made everyone start wondering, did Justin hook up with Barbara? After breaking up multiple times and Selena storming out of a restaurant, it appeared that Justin and Selena were going to work things out.

But then Selena left their New Year’s vacation in Puerto Vallarta Mexico with Justin early, after reportedly getting into a blowout fight with him over Barbara! Cindy Adams, a columnist for The New York Post reported that the two got into a fight at their rented mansion they were staying out on Jan. 30.

The two have since to reconcile even though Barbara has said that anything going on between the two of them.

Selena hit up the Warner Brothers after party with her girlfriends and Spring Breaker‘s co-star Vanessa Hudgens and also Ashley Tisdale and Sarah Hyland. She then at one point posed for a pic with Barbara and we’d assume the topic of conversation with Justin!

Maybe this is why she was spotted flirting with The Hunger Games star Josh Hutcherson.

Selena Is Recording New Music & Perhaps This Is Part Of Her New Life

Selena posted on her Facebook page on Nov. 1 that she has been in the studio: “Busy Busy Busy… Wizards reunion has been so much fun and I have been working on some amazing music for you guys.”

We can’t help but wonder if Selena is going to have new music about Justin on the album. Maybe break up songs like her bestie Taylor Swift “I Knew You Were Trouble” the one she allegedly wrote about Harry Styles.

Selena even posted a video of her friends doing a music video of her dancing to the song and she keeps posting fan versions of it. She’s clearly very angry at Justin and she wants him to know!

Maybe Selena has just had enough of Justin and she wants to branch out on her own?
