Justin Bieber Was Only Trying to Make Selena Gomez Jealous With Baskin Champion

It turns out 24-year-old Justin Bieber was just operating on questionable twentysomething logic with his night spent getting cuddly with Baskin Champion. According to Entertainment Tonight, Bieber saw photos of his on-off girlfriend Gomez having fun on her Australia trip (and presumably the ones of her getting handsy with a cute guy) and decided to try to make her jealous with Champion. It was all intentional because Bieber just wants Gomez back!

Bieber "knows everything he's doing is going to get out," ET's source said. "[Gomez is] off having fun with her friends and so he's showing that he can still go out and have fun too. And to be honest, I'm sure there's a part of him that wants to make Selena a bit jealous! This seems like right out of the old Justin's textbook! He was very manipulative with her emotions the last time and did stuff like this a lot." No wonder Gomez spent an entire press tour talking about how done she was with the Biebs.

And no wonder another source told ET Monday that "a lot of her friends really don't like him. They think he's bad news for Selena and don't approve of the relationship. They think he's a bad influence on her and she becomes really dependent on him. She's so generous and loyal and puts 100 percent of herself into everything, including her relationships, which isn't always the healthiest."

But back to Bieber and Champion! It's just flirting. The two have been friends for a while, and that's it. ET still maintains Jelena is on officially. "The thing with Justin and Selena is that when they're together, they're together, when they're apart, they're apart. As in, they're no longer attached at the hip," the source said. "She doesn't have the time or energy to be all about Justin 100 percent of the time. But when they're together, she's fully present. She does care about him a lot, but she just can't be all in right now."

Meanwhile, over at Us Weekly, a source said that Gomez went on a break with Bieber because of his selfishness. "[He] doesn't care about anyone but himself," Us's source said. "The second she saw it, she walked away, especially now with her health. She knows she doesn't need him." Hmm...
