Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber have quite a history together, so even though they're not dating this second, it's no surprise that she cares about him.
Reportedly, Selena and Justin went on a dinner date to Beverly Hills' Mastro’s Steakhouse last week, during which she told her former beau bluntly:
Get it together before you're washed up!
“When they met last week at Mastro’s, Selena basically told him he was going to end up ‘washed up’ before his 21st birthday," says an inside source.
"She told him how much she missed the old Justin,” warning him that if he doesn't make some "drastic changes," he could see his career destroyed.
Sounds like her message resonated.
“Justin’s split with Selena was a real wake-up call. He realized he had better clean up his act if he wants to be taken seriously as a singer and a potential actor."
Besides, if there’s one thing Justin Bieber loves, it’s proving to Selena Gomez that he can change, and worm his way back into her good graces.
At which point their toxic relationship will invariably implode again, leading to a period of cold shoulders and cryptic Instagram quotes. Rinse, repeat.
Still “All he wants to do now is prove her wrong and show Selena and everyone else that he can be a man of honor and integrity,” this source says.
First ever use of Justin Bieber and "integrity" in the same gossip article? No doubt. But perhaps it's not the most far fetched notion in the entire world.
As the insider notes, “Maybe Selena not taking him back is the best thing that ever happened to him," as it's inspired his new outlook on music and life.
“His relationship with Selena helped Justin ... he channeled everything into his music," the source says, leading to that Justin Bieber acoustic performance.
Of course, if Gomez is dating DJ Zedd for reals, Selena may want to prepare herself for some hard-hitting, passionate songs about her and their romance.
We will be on pins and needles.
