Selena Gomez jokes about making Justin Bieber cry: hilarious or mean?

Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez appeared on “The Late Show with David Letterman” last night to promote Spring Breakers, which managed to gross a $90,000 per screen average in just three theaters last weekend. However, Dustin Rowles at Pajiba maintains that this weekend’s rollout to wide release will flop and earn no more than $3 million once word of mouth spreads about what a dark, dreary (yet somehow pointless) movie this movie really turned out to be.

In the meantime, we still love Selena, and she looked fantastic in this black Pucci dress (with polka dot detail) that she paired with a Dolce & Gabbana blazer. Her legs go on for miles and miles, and she’s got quite a personality on her as well. In particular, when Dave cracked a joke about making Justin Bieber cry during his last appearance (“Now, the last time he was on, he and I got into a conversation and he said something and I said something, and then he said something and I said something, and I made him cry“), Selena wryly replied, “Well then, that makes two of us.” Here’s a video clip of that wonderful moment:

Selena also informed Dave that she was very single and happy about it. Considering what she also said about Biebs, I think she’s finally ensured that they’ll never get back together. You know that when Bieber heard about this, he probably had another “back in your carseat, young man!” type of moment.

    Funny, in that context.

    • Yup, Me says:

      Something about his current phase reminds me of a conversation I heard between three white children in a (very white) suburb a few years back. Child 1 said something which I could not hear clearly and Child 2’s voice rang out, “No, Danny! You ARE gang-STER. You are so totally gang-STER.”

      except not.

  2. k says:

    I think she was probably referring not only to making him cry, but being in the whole back-and forth argument situation with him. I thought it was a clever and succinct comment.

    • m lowry says:

      selena should have moved on with dignity. she didn’t.

      • mollination says:

        Wait, when did she lose her dignity? Do you mean another word? Maybe class or grace? Because the only part of dignity she lost was having to admit she dated the biebz

  3. Talie says:

    The movie seems to have developed great word of mouth on Twitter this past weekend. So, it may not blow up, but I don’t think it will flop.

    • i'm french don't kill me says:

      i saw it this week (it yet released this week in france) :it was good and provocative (sex,drug,violence)good acting (even if she really doesn’t break her sweet image)

    • The Other Katherine says:

      They were promoting the CRAP out of this movie when I was in Paris at the beginning of this month. To say I was surprised would be an understatement. Do the French really love James Franco or something?

      • EmmaStoneWannabe says:

        Well James Franco, being a piece of artistic ART…of course madam…The French love their art.

  4. KellyinSeattle says:

    In the last pic, Biebs looks like he’s being pulled out of a car seat! Does he shed golden tears, since he’s such the “Golden Boy? I like Selena – good for her. Nice set of legs, too. My 17 year old says that some people at school still listen to Biebs, mostly girls, but a lot of kids don’t like him because he “SUCKS”…

  5. marie says:

    she looks cute, I like her outfit. And I would like for her to get with someone better than Beiber (which is pretty much anyone other than Franco, that’s right they are both equally gross)

    • Tiffany :) says:

      Her legs look great, but I can not sign on to that wrinkled beige faux-skin thing that is going on in the center of the dress. It looks like something an ice skater would wear.

      • Hakura says:

        An ice skater, that’s what it looks like! I knew it reminded me of something, but I just couldn’t place it. xD

  6. Jenny says:

    Thank you for using that pic of Baby Bieber! That picture should be on every post that mentions him. Too funny!

    • judyjudy says:

      It’s the first time I’ve seen that picture. It’s pure gold! HA!

      • Carolyn says:

        hehe me too. How have I missed this photo? Whenever I see photos of him trying to be gansta I’ll think of this one.

        “Little baby Bieber hop into your carseat snookums”

        Baby Bieber is so going to stick as a moniker.

    • leslie says:

      I agree -please use that carseat photo every time you’re forced to report on that little nimrod.

      I’m glad she has a sense of humor. Since she was with the little pipsqueak for so long, I wasn’t sure she had one.

      Re: David Letterman & Beiber – I saw a hilarious & cringe-worthy clip of Letterman interviewing him. Beiber was showing Dave his newest tattooed & Dave remarked that Beiber was going to resemble the Sistine Chapel if he got any more tattoos… to which Beiber replied “I’m not gonna look like any Sixteenth Chapel.” Priceless. Dave looked @ the camera & chuckled…shook his head & made some comment about education. Beiber was flummoxed. Knew something was wrong but couldn’t figure out what…

      • Agnes says:

        @Leslie. Omg, that’s hilarious.

        And yes, this picture of Biebier is the only picture of him that should exists. It cracks me up every time.

      • Mr.Smurf says:

        Anyone notice Bieber’s entire butt is hanging out of his pants? How does he even walk?

      • Lucy2 says:

        He doesn’t have to walk, Mr. Smurf. They push him in a stroller!

      • Lulu.T.O. says:

        Oh my. The sixteenth chapel. That’s something that would be cute if a 7 year old said it. But an adult? He’s stunted mentally AND emotionally. Gah…

  7. Gemini08 says:

    I know people like to hate on the Biebs but I actually find her comments tacky. And telling- she IS friend with Taylor Swift so perhaps Tay Tay is rubbing off on her.

    • lexy says:

      Haha you sound like such a weiner. Offended? Go and cry about it!

    • KSPaula says:

      Agreed – she could have taken the high road and chose not to. Wish more people would do so – would make life much nicer for all. And for the record, I’m not a prude or uptight or whatnot. Just think she missed an opportunity there to rise above the b.s.

      • flor says:

        Exactly! Thanks for this. It’s not about her being rude, it’s about her not being mature enough to just rise above the situation and prove the Biebs she doesn’t care about him. Now he knows she still holds some feelings.

      • menlisa says:

        I also wish she took the high road.

        eta
        But if rumors are true that he cheated then I don’t blame her kinda..

        I’m on the fence.

      • Ailine says:

        It’s a JOKE, Miss Sensitivity. Bieber can take it.

      • Sandy Pandy says:

        Agree – I wouldn’t want someone I’m no longer with to go on tv and say they made me cry. That was mean and believe me, can’t stand the twerp. She spent enough time with him so that makes her sketchy in my book anyway. Guilty by association.

    • stellalovejoydiver says:

      She dated Bieber for what 2 years? Are you really surprised by her lack of class and maturity?

      • Sweet Dee says:

        DING DING DING! We have a winner.

        She just broke up with the kid after being with that joke for 2 years. She’s barely more mature than he is.

    • Boxy Lady says:

      As far as wanting her to be more mature, the girl is 20, cut her some slack . It’s not like we’re talking about Demi Moore or something.

    • Hakura says:

      Oh, lighten up! It was a joking ‘barb’, not a literal beheading.

      Contrary to what his current diaper-fashion-choices may imply, he *is* old enough to handle that much.

    • Tara says:

      The high road sounds boring

  8. Happy21 says:

    Love her!

  9. bella says:

    god, i love dave.
    he’s managed to stay relevant for decades and can still mix it up with the young rising stars.
    true talent.

    • apsutter says:

      Me too…Dave is awesome and my fav thing about him is that he doesnt take anyone’s shit. He’s not a company man like Leno

      • Bijlee says:

        ….he’s one of the laziest interviewers out there. he’s pathetic, hypocritical, disgusting, not funny, and needs to retire. just like leno.

    • bella says:

      i’m with you apsutter.
      dave is nothing like leno, who IS the laziest, silliest interviewer on tv.

      bijlee – dave and leno are polar opposites. dave is quick witted and clever. leno is boring and outdated.

      • Bijlee says:

        when i said just like leno, i meant he and leno both need to retire. yes, they are polar opposites, but it does’t change what a terrible lazy kissass letterman is. he utterly disgusts me so i apologize if that offends, his show is dull beyond all belief.

        the funniest late night talk show host is craig ferguson. i find myself laughing all the time with him. the thing with ferguson is he doesn’t need really famous guests to make his show watchable which is what letterman needs/does and even leno. Ferguson by himself is hysterical.

        so sorry guys i despise letterman but that’s nothing new because i’ve said it before on these boards.

      • bella says:

        Bijlee
        you are certainly entitled to your opinion!
        I feel about letterman exactly how you feel about ferguson.
        I could listen to and watch letterman all day.
        he doesn’t have to say a word to make me laugh.
        I’ve been to his show 3 times and being there was the best fun I’ve had.
        different tastes in comedy we have.
        I think it’s great that young uo and coming stars gravitate to dave’s show. he clearly has staying power.

      • Apsutter says:

        Letterman’s not my fave by any means and I never cared for his interviews cause he’s too slow and does his stupid laugh constantly but I always liked his other content, My favorite has always been Conan by a long shot (I like silly humor lol). But Kimmel has also really been growing on me because he’s ballsy.

  10. Maria says:

    mean AND hilarious.

  11. Samigirl says:

    Hilarious. Before, I didn’t care too much about her. Now, I’m a Selina fan.

    • MMRMB says:

      I think she was actually referring to how many times Dwiebs made her cry with his douchbaggery.

      Good for her that she has the maturity and the presence of mind at her age to realize she doesnt need him or need to care about his crying and that a little reverse humiliation goes a long damn way.

  12. dina says:

    she’s so cute, but does anyone else think she looks EXACTLY like that taylor dude from twilight? i can’t unsee it…

    • bella says:

      YES!
      they could pass for brother and sister twins for sure.
      she is adorable, though, i agree.

  13. erika says:

    “Selena…it would be an honor if you would marry me.”

    YOU GO GIRL!!! Love U! Lovah, lovah, lovah!!!

    Hey CBers/Posters: do you think(I hope) JB visits this site and gets in a tear fest? Ohhhhhh I HOPE SO!!!

    Hush lil Bieiber don’t you cry,

    Lil Twist has got some weed that’ll make you high,

    And if that weed don’t make you soar,

    Ya got millions in cash go buy yourself a whore,

    And if that hooker is nothing but a bore,

    Beg n’ plead Mr. Scooter to bring you a dinosaur,

    And if that stuffed toy is nothing but a bore,

    grab a 8 yr old from the audience and treat her like a whore,

    And if those mean pap’s make you go berserk,

    Relax this evening with a cup ‘o sizz-urp,

    And if that syrup doesn’t bring you a thrill,

    At a transgender escorts feet lay some dollar bills,

    Real men don’t feel the need to always grab their dicks,

    No surprise Selena dumped you ya’ sound like a selfish prick,

    And hush lil Biebs now don’t you whine,

    All concerned parents out there still see you as a swine,

    Just remember Justin you’re a lover not a hater,

    You’ve got just one fan left, her name’s Mariah YATER!

    And if all my suggestions just seem kind of lame,

    You’ve got 13 seconds left on your FIFTEEN MINUTES of FAME!!!

  14. KSPaula says:

    MEAN – I don’t care if it IS Hollywood and he is a little dork, mean is mean – she could have looked alot more mature but took the easy way out.

  15. D says:

    I like her more now…but the insane beliebers will probably put a hit out on her.I just don’t understand tweens…Maybe I’m getting too old haha
    :/

  16. annabelle says:

    Love her.

    Hate the keyhole/illusion netting part of the otherwise fantastic dress.

  17. Isa says:

    She’s so Pretty!

  18. ernie says:

    I really want to see this movie.

  19. yeahright says:

    Funny but lets not pretend this girl is an actress. Spring Breakers? Good grief.

    • joy says:

      My little boy loves Wizards of Waverly Place, and though she’s no Meryl Streep, I think she’s very good on it. Girl has great comic timing 🙂

    • Debbie says:

      Also, would you say the same thing of James Franco? He may be a weirdo but no one disputes the boy can act. And *he’s* in Spring Breakers. Maybe see it, then judge.

  20. NerdMomma says:

    Knowing that the Bieber treated her kind of badly- possibly cheating, possibly telling her she was fat- hard to sort out fact from rumors- I say hilarious!

  21. Reece says:

    Mean and Hilarious! I like her more. Still not gonna see that movie but I like her.

  22. Ari says:

    LOVE IT

  23. skuddles says:

    I don’t think that was particularly mean, especially considering Dave is the one who brought it up. And besides, it’s heavily rumored that Biebs screwed around on her – a guy who humiliates you by cheating totally deserves some humiliation in return. Maybe the little dickhead will learn something from it. Although I doubt it.

  24. Magpie says:

    I think their relationship was a PR set up from the start. She played along and he thought it was for reals. The realization that she never really loved him is probably adding to his current breakdown.

    That said I don’t feel sorry for him.

  25. Sel says:

    Was it a little mean? Sure.

    Was it funny? Absolutely. Her timing was perfect.

    Should she have taken the high road? Probably, but come on. She’s young and there’s so many stories out there that said he cheated on her, etc. It’s not like she called him a name or went into the sordid details. In previous interviews where Beibs came up, she actually doesn’t say much and she never bad mouths him. But Dave set that joke up perfectly for her and what was she supposed to say?

    I don’t think any less of her for saying one line. She a very pretty girl and I really like her because she seems grounded. Beibs has been acting like a fool lately and I’m glad she finally made the break with him. I heard it was a PR stunt too, but I questioned it when they kept getting back together. She can do so much better. And I hope she does.

  26. Itsa Reallyme says:

    She’s adorable. Considering all of his shenanigans of late, I don’t think it was in poor taste for her to respond as she did.

  27. Nanz01 says:

    Before I watched the clip, I thought, “oh she should be above that.” Then I watched it…and I laughed and laughed and laughed. OMGoodness, still laughing. That was sooo funny. I’m a grown up, and I LOVED IT. I should be ashamed.

    PS ~ That’s the firs time I’ve heard Selena’s voice. Ever.

  28. DreamyK says:

    Beibs is a wiener and he probably had it coming BUT

    …as the mother of a teenage boy, I don’t think that guys should be made fun of for shedding a few heartfelt tears. It’s hard enough to get teenage boys to discuss whatever the hell is bothering them without adding in some mocking if they get a bit verklempt.

    • Bijlee says:

      Agreed. This so much. I feel bad for the biebs. he cried big deal. nag on him for the other douchetastic things he does.

      Selena WAS NOWHERE near as successful as he was, he significantly raised her profile. and how can he control his beliebers??? they’re crazy. he did defend her when they were dating.

      i dislike her SOOOOO much. she screams fake to me. she cannot act and she uses other peoples profiles to raise her own. i would have more respect for her if she decided screw this im gonna take acting classes get an education etc etc. something. but she is vapid beyond all belief.

      • Erinn says:

        If it’s rude of her to have said that, he should continue to defend her even if they’re broken up. He should at the very least make a tweet saying how lame it is to send death threats, and threats of physical harm. Her comment was a quick, one. It wasn’t as if she sat and thought about it. But he can see the hatred among his fans on twitter all the time, and does nothing to curb it.

        Don’t let your dislike of the actress validate the behavior of Biebs and his fans. It’s not Selina’s responsibility to ANY of us to go get an education. She can do whatever she wants, and so can we.

      • Bijlee says:

        @Erinn i don’t care if she made the comment. it’s honestly no big deal. it’s neither hilarious like everyone here seems to think nor is it incredibly trashy or rude. i don’t dislike her for her comment, i dislike that such a comment is being played as great, good, and hilarious when it just as much perpetuates the gender roles we all hate so much over here.

        boys cry. that’s okay. he shed a few tears….so what? why is it so funny? there are a million other things letterman and gomez could have made fun of him for. a million other things. i feel bad for bieber. he’s a douche, but the amount of derision, mockery, and hatred he receives as a young boy and his handlers who use and abuse him astounds me. no wonder he’s on a meltdown right now. she’s thriving, he’s barely around and seems to be having an emotional crisis. i’m sure the pressure of this fickle celebrity world gets/got to him. not enough sex, drugs, booze, or fame makes any of that better.

        gomez used him. she uses swifty. she used lautner, jonas, etc. she’s a user. she uses people with higher profiles than her to elevate her career.

        and this whole letterman gomez thing looks so rehearsed. his “surprise” please. ugh. he’s a pathetic host now. which is why i love ferguson’s unrehearsed interviews (but who knows he probably does rehearse with them).

        i’ve never understood the absolute hatred people feel for bieber. the kind of hate you describe for him is very similar to his belieber fans that hate anyone he’s linked with or insult him in any way. the difference is we’re just more educated and “mature” so our insults sound more intelligent than theirs. plus we can spell better. (well i can’t). i felt guilty for disliking gomez and letterman, but considering how people feel about bieber, i don’t feel so bad anymore.

        and wow it’s not her responsibility to get an education for me. that’s not at all what i mean. what’s wrong with IMPROVING yourself. she receives adulation and adoration for literally nothing. she cannot act, cannot sing. i want these people to receive an education for themselves. i want education to be valued. respected. if she’s a role model, if you place yourself as a role model (and this chick has) then get yourself an education. if you can afford it…why not? oh that’s right because it’s a different kind of work than she’s accustomed to. she has to use her brain instead of pay people to do it for her.

        actually that’s too harsh. selena does not need an education as much as bieber does. the kid NEEDS something outside of this fickle celebrity world. he needs to pull his head out of his ass and get down to some good ole fashioned hard work. make himself a well rounded person.

      • Lulu.T.O. says:

        Bijlee…it’s ok, really. Biebs will survive. It will be a character building experience for him and God knows he needs it.

  29. cynicalsmirk says:

    I wouldn’t have known who she was if it wasn’t for her association with Bieber. He’s the world’s biggest dweeb, but he raised her profile. She’s moved on, and I think she should just keep quiet about it. I know I would, if for no other reason than the sheer humiliation of having to admit ever being with him.

  30. lizbet says:

    It wasn’t making fun of him, it was a humorous acknowledgment of something everyone knows. I think it was well played and showed she has some personality.

  31. G says:

    The high road?! She’s still young that WAS the high road. It was off the cuff she has a sense of humor and I think it’s great.

  32. JL says:

    Bieber made Beiber cry by his own actions……

    Now get back in your carseat and be a good boy and people won;t say such things about you.

  33. Kim says:

    Now Im a fan he lets his fans say disgusting things about her including gay slurs.So this joke is no different than Nicole Kidman saying she can wear heels after splitting from Tom

  34. apsutter says:

    She is soooo cute!! And her making fun of the Biebs is freakin hilarious. That little asshat deserves it.

  35. Bijlee says:

    i just watched the interview…you have got to be kidding me. she is nothing special. was that only funny because she made him cry???? so? this girl GRATES. her cutesy act grates. she is a beautiful gorgeous girl, but beyond that nothing. she can’t act, she’s an atrocious singer. and this is her job, she can’t even do it!!!!

    …I’m in a foul mood.

    • sassenach says:

      i am not in a foul mood yet I completely agree. Selena irritates me more than Beiber.

  36. megsie says:

    I’m a firm believer in the high road but …. given her age and the circumstances, this passes muster in my book. Agree with the above poster who made the “I can wear high heels” Kidman comparison. The Kidman moment was a classic moment of high class, intelligent snark. Selena’s isn’t on that level but it’s good enough.

  37. heidi not the prat says:

    I dont hate him ,its hard to hate idiots and imbecile’s ,i just feel sorry for him

  38. RHONYC says:

    i’ve never heard her talk before now, but she sounds surprisingly veeeery mature despite her babyface and her sharp wit is dead on.

    poor baby Bieby-bibs. 😆

  39. Meh says:

    Hahahahahahahahhaa!!!

    Typical teen drama.

  40. SamiHami says:

    Is it terribly wrong of me to wish that Biebs and Swifty would get together? I mean, wouldn’t that just be hilarious?

  41. april says:

    It was a hillarious comeback! She looks very beautiful in the first photo and I love the coat she’s wearing.

    My only criticism of her and Bieber is that I wish they would get some further education. You can really notice it when they speak and use poor grammar.

  42. serena says:

    Maybe it’s bad to hang around Swifty too much..be careful Selena.

  43. Ros says:

    I could’ve cared less about this girl, but she just earned big points in my book.

  44. dorothy says:

    She lucky to be rid of the self serving, narcissistic little freak. His star is fading fast because of his ridiculous behavior.

  45. Shannon says:

    LOL at Justin’s 1994 hat. I remember the year 1994 and I’m not even that old (24). If you want people to take you seriously and you were born after 1990, don’t advertise just how young you are. The saggy prison pants don’t help either, but I suppose they’re an improvement over the diaper harem pants, er, “meggings” this special kid keeps trying to make happen.

  46. andrea says:

    Good for her. If we’re to believe even half the rumors, he cheated on her a lot when they were together. It was a nice comeback. Better still, she’s looking great these days (she needs a better stylist but I’ll chalk it up to youth and too much money).

  47. Jennifer says:

    Hilarious. She looks great! Him..not so much.

  48. Lisa says:

    I know, she don’t like her baby face now, but she’ll bless it when will be 35.

  49. Annie says:

    Hilarious!

  50. Jane says:

    Way to go, Selena!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  51. Lexi says:

    He probably cried when they broke up, my ex-boyfriend(my biggest regret) cried when i broke up with him! Thats what little bitches do!

  52. Lucy2 says:

    If she has seen the baby in the car seat photo of him, she has to be so embarrassed she used to date him.

  53. anon says:

    just another one being immature & wanting some attention. She must be still hurting too.

  54. Peanut says:

    Good. It’s widely reported that he cheated on her. Cheating douches deserved to get dumped (and cry).

  55. jeff says:

    she never said anything about her other exes so he probably hurt her badly. also letterman was the one being mean, she was just playing along

  56. MisJes says:

    Amusing? I suppose.

    But she should have taken the high road. With all the bad press Bieber has surrounding him lately, she was looking more put-together and likeable as time went on. He may be a douche, but she just pulled her bitch card and now she is no better.

    And yes, she is 20 – but 20 is not a child. She has been in the media game for a very long time and she knew that taking a jab at him on national television was not a classy move.

    • RHONYC says:

      i’m about to ‘have’ a 20 yr old and can attest…the whoooole lot of ’em (including Mrs-i’m-such-a-class-act-Carter…at that age) ain’t got a classy bone in them. 😕

      the classiest gals bred by Disney have all been cartoons. love my Cinderella. lol

      i think class is a grown & sexy game and comes with age. think Tina, Sophia, Diahann, Joan, Raquel, Grace, Diana, Audrey…& of course Princess Aurora! 😀

      jussayin. 😉

      • MisJes says:

        “…the classiest gals bred by Disney have all been cartoons…”

        Haha! I love that, it is so very true.

  57. Asdfg says:

    Yeah, as long as she remembers she dated him for how many years?

  58. Fatima says:

    Yeah, she’s cute, but kinda bland. She’s hasn’t done much beside date Bieber. No big hit record for her. No box office smash. Her legs are great, but her interviews come off so angular and awkward.
    I think both of these two are about to fade into obscurity.

  59. nannan says:

    she also made a music video mocking him to one of his songs. very unclassy of her. but then she’s not much more than a teenager. a lot of people never heard of her till beiber.

  60. anneesezz says:

    I just started watching Wizards of Waverly Place re-runs with my 7 year old and she is adorable on that show. She’s a heck of a lot better than Miley Cyrus. Hannah Montana is unwatchable. Selena is a good little actress. She was also cute in Monte Carlo, although the movie’s premise was preposterous.
