It’s too early to tell if the romantic reconnection between Justin
Bieber and Selena Gomez will transport the couple back into a lucrative
Disney-like love story and help repair their public profiles, or if the
two are destined to end up more like Sid and Nancy. But one thing’s
clear: As they both grow further into early adulthood, they continue to
stray from their squeaky-clean teen-pop pasts.
Last month, Gomez promoted her first adult role in the controversial Harmony Korine film Spring Breakers
by posing for a gazillion photos in a revealing bikini. And now Gomez
has posted a teaser for her new video "Come and Get It," in which she’s
let down her hair and, uh, removed practically everything else as well.
In the 37-second-long clip, Gomez is depicted swimming Blue Lagoon-style
in the ocean, dancing around a fire in a see-through red dress,
nuzzling up to a man’s bare chest, and traipsing through a fiend of
flowers in a flowing beige dress.
"Music video for Come and Get It coming to you guys really soon," tweeted Gomez,
along with a revealing photo from the shoot of her shoulder-deep in the
water, eyes closed, mouth slightly open, as if fantasizing about
Bieber.
The music video will premiere May 7 at 7:53pm on MTV. Gomez debuted
audio for "Come and Get It" live April 14 on the MTV Movie Awards. The
racy song features the lyrics: "You ain’t gotta worry, it’s an open
invitation/I’ll be sittin’ right here real patient/All day all night
I’ll be waitin’ standby/Can’t stop because I love it, hate the way I
love you."
Gomez has denied that the song’s about Bieber, but lyrics like "This
love ain’t finished yet, so baby whenever" suggest otherwise. Bieber and
Gomez have reportedly been on-agan, off-again as a couple since they
broke up in November 2012. In January 2013, they were apparently over.
Then Bieber started posting revealing photos
of the couple together on his Instagram account, one of Gomez holding
his bare back while he typed on his computer. The caption read, "Been
makin music for too long babe come cuddle."
Not all of Gomez’s friends are happy that the couple is back
together. "We did everything we could to keep them apart but he was so
persistent,” a source reportedly Hollywoodlife.com.
"It’s really unhealthy they have such a turbulent relationship at such a
young age. He leaves her in floods of tears constantly. She has had a
really difficult year or so dealing with the tense emotions that come
with dating him. We thought she had finally broken free."
During the time the couple was broken up, Bieber seemed to unravel.
He was accused of spitting on a neighbor, wrote a comment in the guest
book at the Anne Frank house in Amsterdam that some found offensive,
fainted at a London concert, threatened a paparazzo, and narrowly
escaped arrest in Stockholm because the police couldn’t trace the
marijuana and stun gun they found on his bus back to him.
"If Bieber’s erratic behavior continues, it could take a toll on his bottom line,” reported Dorothy Pomerantz of Forbes.com.
"While fans will likely keep buying his music, his merchandise sales
could suffer. And corporations might not want to be associated with him
if he can’t maintain his brand image."
Interestingly, Gomez has reconnected with Bieber at a time when she’s
ramping up to release her first solo album, scheduled for release this
summer. The album coincide with a tour, which launches August 14 in
Vancouver, British Columbia, and runs through November 17 in Kansas
City.
