Selena Gomez Taken to Hooters--Really, Justin?

Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber went on another date on Sunday--this time in Costa Mesa, California. Justin took his sweetheart to Hooters for dinner. Really, Justin? Couldn't you have done a little bit better than that?

According to Hollywood Life, the two appeared to be enjoying a quiet chat, alone in their booth at the restaurant. But should Justin Bieber have taken Selena to a place where the main pastime is staring at girls in very skimpy outfits?

Both Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez appeared on stage that same evening--Justin surprising guests by showing up for the opening night of Selena's concert tour. Fans must have been thrilled to get a double dose of hot and heavy teen fever, all in the very same show.

But back to that date, it seems that a few things could have been in play here. Most likely it's that Selena is so comfortable in her own skin and with her relationship with the Biebs, that she could care less about him sneaking glances at tight tops and short shorts. It's possible, too, that Hooters was the only pace they could find that was convenient for a quick bite to eat. They do have awfully good wings, you know. And the third option is that Justin Bieber is just plain tacky, and doesn't know any better, Selena Gomez was much too polite to say anything to oppose his choice in dining options. That one, however, really doesn't seem too likely.

So what do you think? Did Justin totally bomb on selecting a place for his and Selena's date on Sunday? Or was it a mutual agreement or one of simple convenience between the two?

Breaking News: Taylor Swift Defies Convention, Finds Beauty in Newark, NJ

Accomplishing a feat once thought impossible, pop-country princess, Hendersonville native and America’s reigning sweetheart Taylor Swift has found beauty in long-depressed Newark, NJ.

According to a tweet, the singer — whose previous accomplishments include becoming the youngest artist ever to win a Grammy for Album of the Year — posted this afternoon reading:

So many beautiful memories from our 4 shows in Newark. Such sparkly, loud crowds! It's raining in NYC now. So pretty.

Such sentiments see Swift breaking the cycle of Garden State tourists who have long seen only staggering homicide rates and the soul-ravaging ruins of economic decimation through the salt of their own tears when visiting the troubled New Jersey city — which has spent 15 years trying to live downa 1996 TIME Magazine ranking as “The Most Dangerous City in the Nation.”

Since Swift’s track record of being super-sweet and positive is more than enough to suggest she doesn’t see beauty in homicide rates and economic decimation, fans are likely to assume the singer’s new book of beautiful memories is culled solely from sights she witness while onstage during her four nights performing at Newark’s Prudential Center last week.

And that the sparkly, loud crowds she praises are hers and not the estimated 150 protesters who gathered in the city’s downtown district Thursday afternoon to rally against unemployment, poverty, crime and taxes among the working class.

At press time, the office of Newark Mayor Cory Booker could not be reached for comment on Swift’s tweet. And in related news, the Scene could not find the time to attempt to contact the office of Newark Mayor Corey Booker.

'Deathly Hallows - Part 2' passes 'Prisoner of Azkaban,' has grossed $834 million worldwide

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 brought in $48 million over the weekend here in the United States, coming in behind Captain America: The First Avenger.

The film dropped 72 percent at the box office, the worst for any Harry Potter film.

However, according to Box Office Mojo, the fall is due more to the film's record-setting opening than how movie-goers felt about the film.

The final installment is still topping the charts overseas, and through Sunday has made $834 million worldwide, passing Prisoner of Azkaban

Miley Cyrus performs at Starkey gala in St. Paul

We almost didn't recognize Miley Cyrus on the red carpet last night in St. Paul for the 11th annual Starkey Hearing Foundation Awards Gala.

Miley, who was among celebs including Whoopi Goldberg, Gary Busey, Kevin Coster and Garth Brooks, told the localMyFox9 TV station that it was her "first Starkey trip this year" and she hopes to stay involved. She said her family has "connected through music" and so if one of them "couldn't hear and be involved in the music with me, that connection wouldn't be the same." She changed into a different outfit for her performance at the party.

Miley tweeted that she bid on - and won - a trip to Haiti and plans to take "all my friends."

In addition to raising money for the foundation, which provides hearing aids to children around the world, the gala also honored Bill Clinton, Marlee Matlin and others for their humanitarian work.

Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart: Full Comic Con Interview (watch)

Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner provided some revealing insights into the filming of “Breaking Dawn, Part 1,” at Comic Con.

Ashley Greene, Nikki Reed, Elizabeth Reaser, Booboo Stewart and Julia Jones were also on hand at the convention.

One of the highlights of “Breaking Dawn” events was the extensive news conference involving the Twilight trio.

Kristen, for example, explained the lengths the movie company went to keep Bella’s wedding dress a secret.

“The wedding was secret-service style. It was insane. The crew was completely inconvenienced and grumbling around set,” she said at the “Breaking Dawn” press conference.

“You don’t understand what this means to us,” she said she told the security team. “If this dress gets on the Internet, I’ll die.”

The birth of Bella’s half-human, half-vampire baby was another key movie scene that produced an unexpected reaction.

“We had an animatronic baby, the scene where [Bella] had to be introduced to the baby for the first time,” Pattinson explained during Thursday’s press conference.

“[The puppeteer] is sweating right below my eyeline, trying to [reach] up to get the [animatronic baby's] hand up to touch your face,” Stewart said.

“And then it sticks to your hair and pulls a little bit and you’re like, ‘Ew, get that thing off me! Get me a real baby, this is ridiculous!’ ” she said. “And it had hair!”

“If you’ve ever seen a baby with a wig on …,” Pattinson offered. “[It] looked like a little troll on a stick.”

Kristen Stewart Ready for Battle in First Snow White Images

Kristen Stewart took the stage for the second time at Comic-Con on Saturday afternoon as part of Universal's panel for Snow White and the Huntsman. Though the film's intriguing cast which also includes Chris Hemsworth (Thor One glance as Stewart donning armor and a shield in the role of Snow White fortifies Universal's description of the project as being darker, edgier and more adult than the competing The Brothers Grimm: Snow White film currently in production at Relativity or the classic Disney take.

Universal will release Snow White and the Huntsman on June 1, 2012, approximately three months after Relativity's The Brothers Grimm: Snow Whitestarring Lily Collins, Julia Roberts, Armie Hammer and Sean Bean arrives in theaters on March 16, 2012.
