Justin Bieber gives Selena Gomez a very public kiss at Billboard Music Awards

  

It started with a hug, then a kiss. We speak of Justin Bieber's very public smooch with girlfriend Selena Gomez at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday in Las Vegas.

And may we just say: Justin and Selena sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G.

Bieber, who was attending the show for the first time, tied in wins with rapper Eminem, taking home trophies for top new artist, top social artist, top streaming artist, top digital media artist, top pop album and top streaming song.

When accepting one of his six awards of the night, Bieber simply hugged the Disney darling. But when the gilded blazer-clad singer was announced as the top new artist of 2011, he gave Gomez a kiss (right on the lips!) for everyone to see before taking the stage to accept his trophy. Watch a clip below.

We guess the 17-year-old just couldn't resist that smoking-hot little black number his girlfriend was wearing. And he seemed extremely grateful to "get out" of his hometown in Ontario, Canada.

Bieber and Gomez, who have been rumored to be dating for months before finally stepping out together at the Vanity Fair Oscar party, crushed the hearts of Bieber fans around the world. The teen idols have been warming up to each other much more frequently in front of camera and recently locked lips for paparazzi at a news conference in Indonesia.

What do you think of the Biebs' PDA with Gomez -- too cute or too gross? Tell us in comments.

Lady Gaga debuts 'Born This Way' album cover art [Poll]

Lady Gaga debuted the cover art for her highly anticipated "Born This Way" album to mixed reviews -- apparently she wants people to believe she was born as a motorcycle hybrid.

"Original Born This Way on Left, Special Edition Album on right. Can't wait for you to hear music! X," she tweeted with a picture of the art Sunday.

The album, which hits stores May 23, will front a black-and-white photo by Nick Knight with the Haus of Gaga of Mother Monster transformed into the bike. Yep, that's her upper body between the handlebars and her arms holding the front wheel. And she's also baring her pearly whites. The only punch of color comes from Gaga's bright red lips.

The special-edition cover is a closeup -- if you're into that vampy-motorcycle sort of thing.

But the reviews from fans were mixed, with the backlash coming soon after the pushback from Christian conservatives over the content of Gaga's newest single, "Judas," which she released last week. Here are some fan thoughts (uncensored, be warned if you click) on the cover art:

cutecherry92: i wanna see more color though

Nymphacissa: stupid

supermarlem: can't wait mother monster am soo anxious 5+23+11...LOVE U, KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK. :)

NanUllrich: OH ...! Forget it, change it now!

aadrienneGD: Sorry Gaga, but this on left is so BAD. :(

Chrystalshatter: The rise and fall of this star puppet happened faster than what I predicted, maybe this is a joke

YuandHok: change it,we want a beautiful one!

zuziioo: Terrible. GaGa copys Xtina. She is a half-robot (motor) on the cover. Xtina was a half-robot on the cover of "Bionic"

dinosai23: creepy....i like it

alllllwin: WE KNOW THE MUSIC IS COUNT....BUT THE COVER IS LOOK LIKE CHEAPPPPP...........NO AVANT GARDE OR AMAZING THING ...GAGA!!

CarmenLovesGaga: I love the idea, you're a motorbike, which people ride. Lol. I prefer the 1st one but will most likely buy both! :) Awesome. I just hope it's no betrayal.

Hmm, what do you think of the cover art? Tell us in comments?

Britney Spears remixes Rihanna's 'S&M'; Spears to tour with Nicki Minaj

Britney Spears + Rihanna; Britney Spears + Nicki Minaj?? Yep, Spears teamed up separately with the two piping-hot pop divas on projects including remixing Rihanna's mega-hit "S&M" and tapping Minaj for her upcoming "Femme Fatale" tour. We repeat: Britney Spears, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj!

The "S&M" remix debuted Monday on Z-100 radio station in New York, and Rihanna called in to chat about the track that now highlights Spears.

"At first, we didn't know what the song was going to do because of the lyrics, but it became really big on radio and it's No. 1 at Pop this week. In order to do a remix, it had to be major," she told the station. "I asked my fans last week who they wanted me to collaborate with, and Britney was one of the most popular names."

"It's very strange because Britney never does features. It was really amazing that she really wanted to be part of this song. She really liked the song to begin with, but it was a different story when she had to sing it, and she really wanted to be a part of it. So it made it really, really special, because you never see two pop female artists doing songs together anymore," she said. "Just call us 'R&B.' "

Spears even got her own verse on the already provocative track, singing:

Just one night full of sin
Feel the pain on your skin
Tough, I don't scream mercy
It's your time to hurt me
Shut me up, gag and bound me
'Cause the pain is my pleasure
Nothing comes better

The duet exchanged love on Twitter Tuesday with Rihanna tweeting "@britneyspears one of the biggest worldwide popstars! U gangsta #EPIC."

"You ain't so bad yourself honey..." Spears replied.

Aside from her "S&M" with Rihanna, Spears announced her new tour with another Caribbean queen: Nicki Minaj.

Sources close to the deal have said the "Pink Friday" singer will join the Spears tour since Enrique Iglesias dropped out of the original co-headlining series because of conflicts with his own tour.

Minaj, 26, who hails from Trinidad and Tobago and is known for her quirky red carpet style, is touring with Lil Wayne until the end of April.

The pair will kick off the concert tour June 17 in Sacramento. Tickets go on sale Tuesday.

What do you think of the "S&M" remix -- too major or too messy? And what of Minaj joining Spears -- would you rather it be Enrique? Tell us in comments.

'Jersey Shore' spinoffs multiply: Snooki, JWoww are moving in together [Poll]

This post has been updated. See the note below for details.

Snooki and JWoww of "Jersey Shore" are moving in together! The ultra-tan duo said MTV is working on a spinoff project just for them.

Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and Jenni "JWoww" Farley had already been in cahoots about a  move-in before the network made it official.

"It's pretty much just the concept of me and Jenni being on our own without our roommates," Snooki told MTV News.

The third-season scene of the besties returning to JWoww's broken home with then-boyfriend Tom seemed a bit more real than usual "Shore" fare, so a spinoff almost seems natural.

"It was a concept before the show," JWoww said. "We legitimately just wanted to buy a house together. She wanted to get out of her dad's, and I wanted to move out of the home that everyone could see on TV, so they were like, 'Let's shoot it!' "

Perhaps they were getting sick of all the apocalyptic Ronnie and Sammi drama. The location for the 12-episode series has yet to be announced.

But these Seasiders aren't the only ones with a spinoff. Housemate DJ Pauly D (Paul DelVecchio) has his own 12-episode run -- cameras are set to capture the spike-haired stud's journey to become "one of the country’s most in-demand DJs."

His show is supposed to be like a "reality 'Entourage,' " according to our friends at Show Tracker. Perhaps mixed in with a lot more yelling of "CABS ARE HEEEERE!"

Adrianne Palicki in (new) new Wonder Woman costume

Wonder Woman's red boots are back and her pants no longer look like rubber, recent online images of Adrianne Palicki shooting her NBC show indicate.

Still no sign of the star-spangled booty shorts, however.

Originally, Warner Bros. television released the official image of Palicki in costume for the upcoming fall show a few weeks ago. But fans strongly decried the Amazonian princess' new garb as a trashy Comic-Con knock-off, stripper costume and an unpatriotic adaptation of the superheroine's digs.

The studio hasn't released an official updated image of her in costume, but these images uploaded to Flickr show the alterations, specifically the non-rubber pants, the stars down the pant leg and the return of Wonder Woman's signature footwear.

What do you think of the updates? And those who said the previous version made them averse to the David E. Kelley show, have you changed your mind? Tell us in comments.

Adrianne Palicki in costume as NBC's 'Wonder Woman'

Adrianne Palicki has traded in Wonder Woman's signature booty shorts and red boots for spandex leggings and blue boots in NBC's remake of the comic-book-inspired series.

But don't worry, the bustier is as busty as ever.

It's safe to say that the actress is bringing her own brand of va-va-voom to the comic book hero. Lynda Carter, the original television Wonder Woman circa 1976, agrees.

"I think she looks fabulous," Carter told E! "It's a new look and, jeez, her body looks fantastic."

Indeed.

Palicki will play the Amazonian superhero and her alter ego in the David E. Kelley series. You'll see her wearing this get-up as she balances her corporate life with crime fighting this fall.

But the question remains: Does the former "Friday Night Lights" actress wear this under her business suits as Clark Kent does with his Superman outfit? Something tells us shiny tights are not exactly office-appropriate ... but, hey, it's L.A.

What do you think of the costume? Amazon glam or a total sham? Let us know in the comments.

PREACH IT! Aaron Carter edition, now with 30 percent more photos of desiccated celebrity flesh!

Now that you’ve flossed your brain clean of that Rolling Stone cover -- you know, "True Blood" vampires, AB-negative wardrobe -- we bring you another entry in our Hot or Gross? category.

Behold, for you we give you former kiddie pop singer Aaron Carter, little brother of Backstreet Boy Nick. Carter posted a shirtless pic of himself via Twitter. We commend him for having a torso so ropey it could rustle up a good dozen head of cattle if it were knotted up proper.

(For a while there we thought we might actually be looking at Vanilla Ice after a few weeks packed in kosher salt, but that’s what proper reporting is all about.)

Next week: Close-ups of Sarah Jessica Parker’s man hands, with a special cameo by Madonna’s forearms!

PREACH IT! The stars of 'True Blood': Not hot, not gross, just tired [poll]

We really don’t like creating new categories here at the Ministry of Gossip. We already have like 8 million, including Mysterious Mysteries, You’re Welcome, Dept. of Working on My Fitness, and Single Ladies. Still, this photo is a clear indication that we need another category.

Welcome to the first edition of Hot or Gross!

Is this "Rolling Stone" cover hot or gross?

You kids will get your chance to vote in a minute; maybe we’ll even get Ryan Seacrest in here to say that. Meantime, here’s our vote:

Neither.

For one, enough with the naked Rolling Stone covers. It got tired the second that Jennifer Aniston did it. Or, wait, maybe when the Chili Peppers did it. Or, no, wait. Maybe when Pam and Tommy did it, when there still was and Pam and Tommy.

Or, no: When John and Yoko did it back in 1968.

Second, we see these three people covered in blood every week. What would really be shocking?
