Tiffani Thiessen Sports a Justin Bieber Shirt at “Horrible Bosses” Premier

On Sunday, Justin Bieber was seen sporting a “Kelly Kapowski” Saved By the Bell T-shirt as he attended the MuchMusic Video Awards in Toronto to receive his two awards as well as support girlfriend Selena Gomez, who hosted the night’s festivities.

In response, Tiffani-Amber Thiessen, the actress who played Kapowski on the Sam Bobrick-created show back in the late 1980′s to early 90′s, wore a Justin Bieber T-shirt as she arrived at the Horrible Bosses premier on Thursday. Way to reciprocate the love!

I have no idea how it came about with him, but I’m just trying to show the love back, that’s all,” Thiessen told Vulture magazine in an interview. When asked what she thinks of the Biebs, the 37-year-old said, “Of course I am. He’s adorable.”

So how did she get her hands on a Bieber shirt, you may ask? “Actually, I had my show, White Collar,” Thiessen explained. ”They got it in Times Square. They’re all over the place. I have, like, 9 million of them in my apartment right now. So if anybody wants Justin Bieber T-shirts, I’ve got them.

“yo @thatrygood @scooterbraun @kennyhamilton check out KELLY KAPOWSKI!! #SWAG,” Bieber tweeted on Friday.

We thinks it’s so cute how supportive these two are of each other – even though the actress admitted that she hasn’t seen Bieber’s documentary, Justin Bieber: Never Say Never. Who knows, maybe Thiessen will be one of the thousands of girls swarming Macy’s this weekend to pick up their own bottle of Bieber’s new fragrance, “Someday.” After all, when Vulture told her that Bieber will be in town promoting his fragrance, she said, “That’s what I hear.I may swing on by and say hi.” Don’t forget your Bieber shirt, Tiffany – maybe you can even get him to sign it!

Perez Hilton at the 2009 MuchMusic Video Awards

After an alleged altercation involving celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, Will.I.Am and his manager, Hilton has released Twitter responses, written statements and a video regarding what happened. And according to a report from “Access Hollywood,” Hilton plans on suing those involved in the incident.

“All persons responsible for this cowardly act of physical violence will be sued and held legally responsible for their actions,” said Hilton’s attorney, Bryan J. Freedman, in a statement. “His First Amendment rights will not be infringed upon through fear, intimidation or violence.”

The blogger was said to suffer a cut below his eye during an altercation between him and Black Eyed Peas manager Liborio “Polo” Molina.

Hilton’s lawyer stated they “are conducting a legal investigation as to whether Will.I.Am encouraged and/or instructed Molina to engage in this physical assault.”

Toronto Police have charged the BEP manager with assault and the 36-year-old must return the city’s Old City Hall Courthouse on August 5 to answer to the charge.

Below is footage with Perez from Sunday night prior to the incident where he discusses the experience behind the scenes at the MuchMusic Video Awards and the way celebrities act around him.

On a night full of memorable moments, it was Swollen Members who came out on top. They came out of the show with 4 awards, the most out of any nominee, despite the 12 nominations for Chad Kroeger of Nickelback.

Perhaps overshadowing the actual awards being handed out was North America’s most free-spoken couple, Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock. Rock asked Canada for its permission to marry Anderson, who hails from Vancouver, British Columbia.

?I’m the American bad ass and this is the Canadian fine ass,? he said to a room full of press.

The performances included a pyro-filled production by Nickelback, Bow Wow featuring dancers Vince Carter and Jerome Williams of the Toronto Raptors, and the Canadian-debut live performances of Shakira and Avril Lavigne.

?I just want to say, with a capital G. Gracias! Gracias! Gracias!? Shakira told the fans, upon winning the awards for Favourite International Artist and Best International Video.

Sum 41, voted Favourite Canadian Group, closed the night with their recent hit, ?What We’re All About,? from the Spider Man soundtrack.

Swollen Members and Puddle Of Mudd also performed. Presenters included Antonio Sabato Jr., Glenn Lewis, Nelly Furtado, Korn, Amanda Marshall, Mandy Moore and Jarome Iginla.

Check out interviews, quotes, and clips of Nickelback, Shakira, Bow Wow, Vince Carter, Glenn Lewis, Mandy Moore, Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock, Avril Lavigne, and many more.
