Dear Gentlemen of the World,
We know how heart-in-your-toes scary it can be when you’re dying to ask out that pretty girl in your biology class — especially if you’re plagued with foot-in-mouth disease. That’s why we made it easy for you with this handy dating guide featuring 15 pickup lines courtesy of Justin Bieber lyrics. He nabbed Spring Breakers’ Selena Gomez and has millions of Beliebers vying for his heart, so he must be doing something right… right?
We noted the exact moments when these lyrics could help you score or get you out of awkward situations. Please keep in mind this guide is wholly unscientific, unproven and might admittedly HURT your chances of dating someone.
Signed,

Song: “Boyfriend”
Lyrics:
“Tell me what you like yeah tell me what you don’t/ I could be your Buzz Lightyear, fly across the globe.”
“I can be a gentleman (gentleman), anything you want/ If I was your boyfriend (boyfriend), I’d never let you go, never let you go.”
When to use them: These lyrics are most effective during that pre-stage dating ritual known as courtship. You’re providing her with hypothetical examples of how dating you will benefit her — once she gets the visual, there’s no going back. Moreover, the Buzz Lightyear reference will immediately blast her with nostalgia, ensuring she associates you with good thoughts.
Song: ”One Less Lonely Girl” and “Somebody to Love”
Lyrics:
“Don’t need these other pretty faces like I need you/ And when you’re mine, in the world/ There’s gonna be one less lonely girl.”
“Christmas wasn’t merry, 14th of February not one of them spent with you.”
“Step to the beat of my heart/ I don’t need a whole lot/ But for you I admit I/ I’d rather give you the world/ Or we can share mine/ I know I won’t be the first one/ giving you all this attention/ Baby listen/ I just need somebody to love.”
When to use them: After lightheartedly listing off all the amazing things you’d do if you were her boyfriend, make known your actions to hurdle this wish into reality. The benefits go both ways: you’d both be less lonely.
Song: “First Dance”
Lyrics:
“Only if you give, give your first dance to me/ Girl, I promise I’ll be gentle/ I know we gotta do it slowly/ If you give (give it), give the first dance to me (give it)/ I’m gon’ cherish every moment/ ’cause it only happens once, once in a lifetime”

In this edition of Way Back When we get nostalgic with Wally De Backer (more popularly known as Gotye). He talks about a childhood obsession with vintage car brochures and what he was like in high school. Sadly, we failed to ask questions about “people he used to know,” get it?

It was only a couple weeks ago when we were trying to figure out which ghost Ke$ha had sex with. Turns out, the “Die Young” singer is ALL ABOUT bizarre relationships because her newest boyfriend is a transparent pink dildo that just happens to do interviews with her. Guess she won’t be invited to Radio Disney anytime soon…
According to Miley Cyrus, Nick Jonas’ song “Wedding Bells,” which he performs with his brothers, is all about her. During an interview with Ryan Seacrest, she said she thinks it’s “pretty blatant” that she’s the subject of the song, which is all about wanting to “try one last time” with a past love and not wanting to “hear the wedding bells chime.”
Miley is currently engaged to The Hunger Games’ Liam Hemsworth, however she dated Nick when they were both in Disney. Online sleuths are already touting the anniversary mentioned in Nick’s song (June 11) is the exact same day Miley describes meeting her first love in her autobiography, Miles to Go.
She told Ryan she has no hard feelings: ”Everyone has to write songs that are about things that they felt and he even introduced that this isn’t the way that I am,” she said. “So, you can’t ever hate on someone for writing about something you’ve been through. I think that you kind of get a fair warning when you date an artist and someone that’s a writer—when you’re going through things that you’re going to end up hearing about it on the radio.”
It must be bittersweet to date a musician like Nick Jonas or Taylor Swift (who also talks about past relationships in her songs), but ultimately, these personal experiences make their songs so relatable. At the same time, it might be a bit presumptuous for Miley to assume it’s all about her. Still, at least they were positive words right? A song called “Wedding Bells” is a lot more flattering than a song called “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together!”
“Wedding Bells”
I’m pretty tired of all the Chris Brown bashing, not because I support him (obviously what he did was completely wrong) but because there’s very little worthwhile discussion that’s coming out of the whole thing anymore. Instead of focusing on the core issues (abuse) people are now just hating on him as an excuse to be mean. The guy clearly has deep seeded issues.
Anyway, I still need to post this Vimeo video called “The Real Chris Brown,” in which he talks about being in love with two people. Brown recently broke up with Karrueche Tran and was spotted canoodling with his ex-girlfriend, Rihanna.
Sadly, dude just doesn’t know when to shut his mouth and even worse, he did it this time when he was drunk. He says in the video:
When you share history with somebody and then you fall in love with somebody else it’s kind of difficult. … I don’t wanna hurt either or. I’m not trying [to] be a player… I just care. Too much sometimes.
If Brown wants to bounce back I think he needs to sit down with Oprah (sober) and have an honest conversation rather than talk gibberish in artsy videos.

Hey girl, I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news but our future husband Ryan Gosling might permanently be off the market.
That is, if OK Magazine‘s sources are to be believed.
According to the magazine, Gosling is just “itching” to marry Eva Mendes, his girlfriend of just over a year. He’s reportedly “head over heels” in love with the actress and is trying to persuade her to walk down the aisle. Mendes on the other hand, apparently has no interest in getting married.
“It’s something Eva has balked at in the past, but Ryan has a charming way of helping her see a different kind of future. She’s getting on board with the idea of marriage,” revealed the insider.
The couple got together after meeting on the set of their film “The Place Beyond the Pines.” Since then, they have been inseparable and were even spotted at his mother’s graduation in Canada.
While I’m no particular believer in tabloids unless there’s legitimate truth, the first thing that ran through my head upon hearing this news was, “NOOOOOOOOOOO!”
Don’t get me wrong. I’ll be happy for the couple if they plan on getting married. But having loved Ryan since his Breaker High days, I will definitely feel just a tiny bit of sadness.
Simon Cowell did One Direction fans a total solid by telling Demi Lovato to keep her hands of Niall Horan, because 1) he’s “pure” and 2) he’s obviously OURS. I mean, the two would be adorable together but we’re still holding out for our chance with the Irish member of One Direction because it will happen, right? RIGHT?
While Demi assures him in this X-Factor promo that she’s not dating anyone for an entire year, Simon doesn’t seem to believe her.
Niall and Demi reignited rumors that they’re romantically involved, when they were spotted after this year’s VMAs at Harry Morton’s Pink Taco in Century City. Just before the awards show he told Access Hollywood that Lovato is his celebrity crush. This is the second time the pair have had to dodge rumors since they were rumored to be involved at the beginning of summer.
While we’d hate to see Niall go off the market, Demi and him see like a good match!

If anyone could get Rihanna to talk about her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, it was OBVS Oprah. O is basically a therapist who hypnotizes victims into sharing their deepest feelings. I’m pretty sure she carries tear gas to make her interviewees cry. Sheer talent.
RiRi appeared on Oprah’s Next Chapter for a heartfelt interview filmed in Barbados, in which she reveals she’s still vey close to Chris Brown. Since lifting the restraining order on him, the two have been working on their friendship. ”We’re very, very close friends,” she told Oprah.
I have to say, writing about Rihanna and Chris Brown these days is a very hard task. The rumours that we usually encounter from Twitter and gossip websites are usually fabricated and spun until they don’t resemble a kernel of truth. That’s why we’re not really entitled to form any judgements about their relationship… not to mention, you really shouldn’t form judgements about ANYONE’s relationships.
Still, you have to appreciate that Rihanna was candid in her interview with Oprah. Plus, she made a good point about the danger of labelling someone who legitimately needs help a “monster.” She said: “I just felt like…he made that mistake because he needs help. And who’s going to help him?…Everyone’s going to say he’s a monster without looking at the source. And I was more concerned about him.”

I can’t really relate to this (since I’m a girl myself), but how does Bruce Jenner do it? He’s basically surrounded by woman in his family 24/7. Not only does he have a daughter from his first marriage, a step-father to Kris’ daughters from her first marriage (Kim, Kourtney and Khloe), and Kendall and Kylie (with Kris), he must have a ton of responsibilities under his belt.
The former Olympian was in studio with Ryan Seacrest the other day, where he was asked (FF to 1:54) what happens when a “new man” enters the family. HINT: Kim + Kanye= Kimye. As soon as Bruce hears the question, he clenches his teeth into a tight smile and it looks as though he doesn’t want to say what he really feels.
Bruce played it safe and said, “I have to back up, I have to accept their decision, and I watch it very closely.”

It’s pretty tough dating long distance, not knowing the next time you’re going to see your partner. This couple waited for years and when they finally saw each other it was pure bliss.
Their relationship started five years ago in a game lobby for Halo 3. They quickly hit it off and became friends, Skypeing, Facebooking and playing video games with each other all the time. A couple years later they talked “face to face” and hit it off as a couple. Unfortunately, she’s from Texas and he’s from Tennessee, so they’ve only met a handful of times.
They recorded their first meeting and it’ll definitely warm your heart. Someone please pass the tissues while I sob in the corner. As if that weren’t enough to make you believe in true love, the couple is now engaged.
In the world of celebrity news, there’s no shortage of hits and misses. This week, John Mayer is creepy and hits on Jennifer Lawrence and Justin Bieber feels “disrespected” by fans.
HIT: Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone are invading your magazine stand
Garfield is on Nylon Guys, British GQ, i-D and VMan, while Stone has New York Magazine and Vogue, with an extensive spread. They also look adorable together on Teen Vogue. The Teen Vogue interview is a good read as two banter with each other, Stone talks about the stupid questions she gets, and Garfield reveals his man-crush on Ryan Gosling. I may or may not rush into my local Chapters, place all the magazines together, and label that section “OTP.”
MISS: Justin Bieber is rude to fans as he waits for Selena Gomez
While JBiebs’ star shone at the legendary Apollo Theater in New York, the media blew up a scuffle he had with some fans at the airport. Apparently, Bieber was bothered by the number of fans who were asking for his autograph as he waited for Selena Gomez. “I’ve had a long day, I flew in,” said Bieber. “I don’t have to be nicer about it. You guys are in my face.” Bieber was probably having an off day and you have to admit, it must be frustrating to have no privacy. Everybody has those days once in a while!

I’ve never joined a dating site for this precise reason. You go online to find a nice, discreet gentlemen to take you on a romantic date, and what you get are sex offenders or guys who talk about their fun guns.
Perhaps a little discretion guys? On the other side, the guys who seems like Prince Charming always end up having a strange obsession with My Little Pony or wear impractical shutter shades inside (that behaviour is not okay).
Anyway, along with the gem above, here are some totally unexplainable yet fascinating photos taken from people’s dating profiles. [Source]

Summer. [Insert a relaxing sigh here] The more I say it the more excited I get. Now that the weather is FINALLY bearable and the beaches are officially opened, it’s time to brainstorm summer date ideas… inspired by who else? Some of our favourite celebs.
1) Bike Date
Miley Cyrus and hunky boyfriend Liam Hemsworth pedalled to a nearby 7-11 convenience store to get a Slurpee in Toluca, California. They’re the ultimate couple for cute date ideas. In the past they’ve gone jet-skiing and got fresh Dirty Dancing-style. Miley also punk’d Liam, though we only advise that if you both have a good sense of humour.
2) Outdoor Movie
Justin Bieber rented out an ENTIRE movie theatre for a date with Selena Gomez. Okay, so this probs isn’t going to happen. For one thing, you’re not Justin Bieber. Also, you’re not Justin Bieber. Anyway, the musician rented out the Staples Center so he and Selena could watch Titanic in privacy. Apparently he didn’t even have to pay! We’re not expecting you to top this because it’s oodles of moolah, but a simple drive-in movie is be a cute date idea. If you don’t have a car, that’s okay. Set up a blanket on the grass and enjoy the movie in each other’s arms.
3) Outdoor Music Festival Read more…
Our favourite Aussie Cody Simpson was photographed for Teen Vogue, looking dapper with retro inspired hair. The behind the scenes video is basically his dating profile as he talked about girls and then more about girls.
Here’s his unofficial dating profile:
Cody’s perfect girl is someone who has a relaxed personality with a certain level of self-respect and class. Naturally she has to be a fun time and apparently dayam good looking too, because his celebrity crushes are Eva Longoria and fellow Aussie Miranda Kerr. Cody enjoys long walks on the beach followed by a zesty dinner and perhaps he’ll teach you how to surf.
He said most of his songs currently revolve around girls but that wasn’t always so. The very first song he wrote when he was seven was actually about chickens. Here’s how it started: ”I bought some chickens and I changed their diapers.”
“I hope my song writing concepts have improved since then,” he laughed.
Cody also talked about how music was always a big element in the Simpson household.
“I’ve been around music since I was very young. My dad had always sung and played guitar around family and friends,” he said. “We’d all sit around the fire singing country songs.”
We can’t wait to see the final spread, which will be in the June/July issue!
Watch it here:
Kanye has admitted in the past that if he doesn’t verify something on Twitter or in a song, then it’s just not true. That’s why people are taking his lyrics about marriage so seriously —probably a little too seriously.
In a new guest spot on an untitled track by hip hop artist Pusha T, Kanye is expected to rap: ”I saw you in the club in a white dress/Now I want to put you in a white dress.”
Ya that’s it. That’s the big lyric everyone’s freaking out about. Us Weekly also reports that Kim and Kanye are undoubtedly having conversations about marriage. Although many wonder whether their relationship is just a PR stunt, ‘sources’ tell the magazine Kimye is completely real.
Of course, Kanye previously rapped about Kim in “Theraflu,” in which he says: ”And I admit I fell in love with Kim/’Round the same time she fell in love with him,” referring to Kris Humphries.
In the meantime, the two have been seen strolling around NYC together, getting ice cream and taking in Broadway shows. Plus, they already went through their first wardrobe malfunction together (see below).
Sorry ladies! One Direction’s Niall Horan might be officially off the market. Apparently, since being home in Ireland he’s been getting chummy with a brunette named Ali McGinley. We’re not sure if they’re actually dating or if they’re just friends — perhaps believe the latter for your sanity?
The blonde-haired singer was home in Mullingar, Ireland this past weekend, having some down time before heading off to America.
Meanwhile, Zayn Malik has been having some fun of his own. A video surfaced of him and his friends dancing to Usher’s “That’s What It’s Made For.” The video was recently posted on YouTube, though we’re not sure when it was recorded.
Watch it here:
Justin Bieber has major swag — both literally and figuratively — in his new video for “Boyfriend,” directed by Director X. The first couple teasers he released were apparently intended to throw us off or he changed his mind at the last minute. Instead of the Michael Jackson “Thriller” video I was expecting, it was truer to the behind the scenes video he released a couple days ago.
We get a glimpse of those teasers at the very beginning, but exactly 30 seconds in the song stops, the video goes blank and it starts all over again but this time at a car park.
Justin and his friends are doing donuts and posing pretty in their souped up cars. Although he has major bling and looks tuff (Grease Lightening tuff) he’s also a sensitive guy, whispering in a girl’s ear and playing her songs on the guitar. Really, who can resist someone that vows to be your Buzz Lightyear and eat fondue with you?
He’s markedly more grown-up in this video, seducing a lady who looks like an older version of Selena Gomez (aww). All in all he’s handling his evolution from kid to young adult pretty well. He also has some pretty sweet JT-style moves near the end of the video, which in fact do look cooler in gold shoes.

In the world of celebrity news, there’s no shortage of hits and misses. This week, People magazine names Beyoncé the world’s most beautiful woman, and Harry Styles gets a new girlfriend while breaking teenage hearts along the way.
HIT: The Wanted kill it on the Today Show
To celebrate the American release of their album, the British boy band performed their smash hit, “I’m Glad You Came.” The boys kept it clean and didn’t talk about the song’s true meaning. Excuse me while I giggle while watching my other favourite dirty boy band songs, O-Town’s “Liquid Dreams” and B44’s “Get Down.”
MISS: Harry Styles caught kissing a model
Sorry ladies, Styles may have been taken off the market. Styles was caught smooching 18 year-old American model, Emma Orsilly in New Zealand last weekend. It could be worse — he may have contracted chlamydia from a koala.
HIT: Beyoncé named The World’s Most Beautiful Woman
People magazine have dubbed the singer as the World’s Most Beautiful Woman for 2012. I can’t believe it took them this long to do it. Beyoncé is FLAWLESS.
MISS: Justin Bieber pens a song for his own “Billie Jean,” Mariah Yeater
The heartthrob told reporters in London his new album will include a song about Yeater, the 20 year-old who accused the Biebs of fathering her child late last year. The paternity case may have been thrown out, but expect a watered down version of “Billie Jean” in the upcoming months. Read more…
Justin Bieber didn’t know how to describe how he smells when a fan asked him on the Capital Breakfast Show so he allowed host Dave Berry to give him a good whiff: ”he smells like a unicorn running through a field of fresh flowers,” he said.
On top of fielding the expected questions about body odour, Justin teased his upcoming video for “Boyfriend even more, on U.K’s Capital Breakfast Show with Berry and Lisa Snowdon. The slew of teasers we’ve already seen just aren’t enough.
“There are some big surprises with the video and I’m excited for people to see it,” he said. “It’s going to be like: ‘that’s kind of a weird twist!’”
The track is from his forthcoming album, which comes out on June 18. You can expect collaborations with Drake and Taylor Swift.
Watch it here:
Florence + The Machine guitarist Robert Ackroyd kissed a girl over the weekend and it just happened to be Katy Perry. Not that she’s easy to miss with her blue-purple ombre hair.
The rumoured couple were seen canoodling at Coachella over the weekend, the music festival where hipsters wear peace flowers in their hair, Tupac is resurrected and romances bloom. It’s a place where magic things happen.
Though his friends poked fun of him about “KP” he tweeted: ”Best Coachella ever. Scratch that, best weekend ever. Dre, Snoop, Pac, Nate, Fiddy & KP.”
The pair were spotted while Rihanna performed during Calvin Harris’ set. We’re not sure if they’re official, but it’s probably safe to say he kissed a girl and liked it.
