Apparently being caught by the kiss cam that swoops in on unsuspecting couples at sports arenas caused Gomez a little embarrassment when she felt compelled to kiss boyfriend Bieber on cue in public.

Justin Bieber has taken his relationship with Selena Gomez public. And apparently, she’s helping him figure out what it means to love. I would vomit, but there’s nothing left after I saw that $6 million mansion he’s looking at.

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez had a romantic weekend in Florida last week, and according to rumors, it ended with a booze-fueled fight. It’s good to be on top.

Photographers shot Selena and Justin leaving a St. Petersburg, FL sports bar along with two friends. In the pics, Selena tries to hide behind her iPhone and cover her eyes with her hand.
