Five years ago, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez seemed like talented (if not annoyingly omniprescient) kids teetering on the brink of stardom. Fast forward half a decade, and now they’ve both gone kind of crazy (after numerous splits and reunions) and are now passive-aggressively trying to one-up each other on Instagram, which once again, is what happens when you let your kids run off to Hollywood during their formative years. TMZ reports …
The first shot came from Selena on Wednesday night when she hit Tao in NYC with 26-year-old model Tanz Watson … who wasted no time posting a sexy pic of Selena pressed up against him. Then the Biebs responded last night with his own Instagram of himself and model Yovanna Ventura at dinner in LA with the caption, “dinner for 2 ;).” Sources close to the exes tell us Justin religiously watches Selena’s every move on social media — so this is no coincidence.
Ah yes, the classic game of “Look how fine I am! Everything’s better now that I left you! I moved on! I’M FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINEEEEEE!!!” Although it all somehow becomes just a touch sadder when you realize they’re both multimillionaires who could, at the drop of a hat, have a yacht filled with models shipped to their front door and yet somehow are playing break-up wars on Instagram. It’s like winning the lottery, then playing a slot machine for hours on end just to see if you can win more money than the asshole sitting next to you: Justin and Selena—you’re both missing the bigger picture here.
