Selena Gomez Needs A New Publicist

I know I'm a little late on this, but it's just so ... WTF-y that I can't let it go. Selena Gomez was hospitalized recently for "exhaustion" and malnutrition, shortly after returning from a Hawaiian vacation with her boyfriend, Justin Bieber.

After numerous attempts to explain what happened, Selena settled on what is perhaps the most Obviously Untrue excuse since Lindsay Lohan blamed her failed alcohol test on tea: her junk food habit. Yes, that's right. Her diet of creamed spinach and broccoli with cheese left her so exhausted and malnourished that she needed to go to the emergency room.

Really? That's the best your team could come up with? This is how it is: broccoli with cheese doesn't make you malnourished, it makes you fat. Ditto creamed spinach. Why not just state the obvious: you were on vacation with your boyfriend and maybe didn't eat as much as you should have that week? No one would blame a girl for wanting to have dainty, bird-like eating habits whilst on vacay with her man.

Then we get to the even more interesting part of the story. She gave a short interview afterwards in which she said that she isn't perfect but she's already learning to cover up her mistakes. I just...I can't...what? Doll, this makes it sound way more serious than a little too much cheddar on your veggies. In fact, it makes it sound like your missteps are so bad that you have to lie about them to preserve your good girl status. In other words, this was the perfect comment to feed the abortion theorists. Do yourself a favor dear and get a better team.
