Then there was a Selena Gomez sighting backstage at a Justin Bieber concert in Oslo this week.
And now comes confirmation that these two lovebirds really are back together: They were just spotted kissing in Norway!!!
"They were holding hands, hugging and they kissed on the lips," an insider tells People of the pair overseas. "They looked really in love, like no fights ever happened before. It definitely looked like they were back together."
Justin and Selena broke up in late 2012, but those in the know have said they've been keeping in touch.
Some have even claimed Gomez was torturing Bieber with constant phone calls and texts, despite her unwillingness to actually be his lady again.
But now that appears to have changed. We'll have plenty more on the rekindling of this romance when more news breaks, but in the meantime:
EEEK!

He is being treated Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital in Boston after being taken into custody in Watertown, Mass., and being transported via ambulance.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was found hiding in a boat in the driveway of David Henneberry, who grew suspicious after he saw its tarp flapping in the wind.
Henneberry went out to investigate when frustrated police lifted the town's lockdown order around 6 p.m., and he noticed that the tarp had been cut.
A closer inspection revealed it was stained with blood.
Henneberry investigated further and, according to his stepson, "basically stuck his head under the tarp (and) noticed a pool of blood," then called 911.
That's when law enforcement helicopters, cars and agents swarmed the property and cautiously approached Tsarnaev, who was taken alive around 9 p.m.
Authorities reportedly fired on the boat (see video above), but likely only used "flash-bang" rounds in order to disorient the potentially armed suspect.
Tsarnaev was not read his Miranda rights because the authorities invoked - or plan to invoke - the "public safety exception" to question him extensively.
It's unclear the extent to which this has occurred yet, but the U.S. Attorney's Office wants to know about any potential explosive devices or accomplices.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, died in a gunfight with police early Friday morning, after which his younger sibling escaped.

The ratings may not be there on American Idol Season 12.
But the talent is very much present.
With Janelle Arthur being eliminated this week, we are down to the final four - and any one of Candice Glover, Amber Holcomb, Kree Harrison and Angie Miller could take the grand prize next week.
Who do we think deserves it? Once again, THG presents our American Idol Power Poll below, ranking the finalists from fourth to first...
4. Amber Holcomb.--While her performance of "What Are You Doing For The Rest of Your Life" was technically flawless, it was old and a sleepy way to end the night. Amber struggles with the up-tempo numbers and isn't as versatile as the other girls.
3. Kree Harrison--Kree falls to three this week after seeming disengaged during "She Talks To Angels." Something just seemed off about her this week and we can't quite put our finger on what it was.
2. Angie Miller--Angie behind the piano is a can't-lose and her cover of Beyonce's "Halo" had everything that Amber's (from the previous week) didn't. Energy, emotion, and excellence. This was a great week for Angie.
1. Candice Glover--Her arrangement of "Straight Up" made the song fresh and cool and "When You Believe"? Well, after that performance the song should be retired from the Idol catalog. It's unlikely anyone else will ever do it any better than Candice did. Unless we're talking about Mariah herself, of course.

4/20. Four-twenty. April 20th. Call it what you want, this is one great day to be high ... on life here at THG. Or on marijuana, from sea to shining sea.
Its origins are often debated, but what's undisputed is that 4/20 has become a de facto holiday. Surely many a celebrity will be partaking on Saturday.
Such as ...
Snoop Dogg. You knowz mofo be rollin' up summa dat dank ass sticky-icky-icky and gettin' fizaded off the bubonic chronic right muthaf--kin' now.
Honestly. Snoop's almost as synonymous with weed as he is with early gangsta rap.
Willie Nelson. On 4/30, Nelson will turn 80, or nearly the amount of times he lights up in a given week. Hey, at least he's totally up front about it.
Matthew McConaughey. Is that guy possibly ever not stoned? Seriously, we're asking.
Michael Phelps. After smoking the competition in the 2008 Olympics, the swimming god made waves for smoking out of a bong. His image took a hit.
See what we did there?! Fortunately, he cleaned up ... the 2012 Olympic competition.
Chris Brown. Dude has a medicinal marijuana card, and enjoys partaking in the Netherlands, where it's legal. Thank goodness for Instagram, right?
Soulja Boy. See similar California marijuana dispensary Instagram shot.
Rihanna. For the last time, you really need to get on Instagram!
Jenelle Evans. The Teen Mom 2 train wreck contemplated doing prison time instead of agreeing to probation that mandated drug testing for a year.
Think about that.
Lindsay Lohan. Put off rehab just to go to Coachella. Think about that.
Arnold Schwarzenegger. Please see above video. Enough said.
Bill Clinton. By all accounts a successful U.S. President in terms of economic stewardship, William Jefferson Clinton was nevertheless a bad liar.
"I didn't inhale" may be an even worse lie than Clinton's "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" line, if only because it was even less believable.
Ryan Lochte: He cannot simply be that stupid ... can he?

The former star of MTV's Laguna Beach and The Hills just purchased a new Los Angeles home, renovated by Jeff Lewis, of Bravo's Flipping Out fame.
It cost her $3.745 million. Check it out:
The private, 4,300-square-foot, 2-story, New England-style home is located in the posh, West L.A. enclave of Brentwood, home to many celebrities.
The 6-bedroom, 5-bedroom estate sits on a quarter acre and features hardwood floors; marble in the kitchen and bathrooms; and stainless steel appliances.
While the backyard doesn't come with that quintessential celebrity staple - a swimming pool - the listing notes that there's definitely room to build one.
Lauren Conrad, 27, also owns a Beverly Hills condo and a four-bedroom pad in that Orange County seaside town where it all began … Laguna Beach.
She's also an author and fashion designer, among her other pursuits. Seems like she's doing pretty well overall as a businesswoman these days ...

The fugitive Boston Marathon bombing suspect is alive and in custody.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was captured just moments ago following a massive manhunt in Watertown, Mass. He had evaded capture since late last night.
The search for Tsarnaev focused on Watertown, a town just a few miles outside Boston. He was eventually discovered hiding in a boat in a residential yard.
NBC News reports that the wanted Boston bombing suspect was found pinned down in the boat, the cover of which showed a tear and blood stain.
Law enforcement sources said police had seen the suspect moving from a State Police helicopter, then confirmed the report with infrared technology.
They were alerted to his presence by a Watertown resident who saw the blood, observed moment inside the boat, retreated to the house and called 911.
Authorities then formed a perimeter around the property.
As they moved in, they observed Dzhokhar Tsarnaev sit up, and after using "flash bang" stun grenades to disorient and distract him, took him into custody.
Officers were acting with extreme caution because they remained concerned that the suspect might be wearing a suicide bomb vest, a source said.
Within the last hour, NBC News reported that there was a fire in the boat the bombing suspect was hiding in and that the suspect was bleeding heavily.
It was widely assumed by many in the press and on social media that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was dead, or soon would be as police surrounded him.
Not the case.
Tsarnaev, 19, was taken away via ambulance and has left the scene (see above, with boat, on Bing maps). State Police have confirmed he is alive.
At a news conference, the Boston Police Chief described his condition as serious.
Officials speculate that he was wounded early this morning by police - it is not clear how gravely - and has not had access to food or water since.
As the thousands of federal, state and local law enforcement now depart, they are doing so to deafening applause and standing ovations from citizens.
The U.S. Attorney's office would not say if Tsarnaev has been Mirandized.
The shootout comes after a violent night in which his brother and alleged co-conspirator, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, died in a separate firefight with police.
The brothers are believed to have carried out Monday's Marathon bombings, which killed three people and wounded more than 180 others, some gravely.
Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, also suspected of killing an MIT police officer in his vehicle late Thursday, setting the events of Friday into motion.
Authorities in Boston suspended all mass transit and warned close to a million people in the entire city and some of its suburbs to stay indoors today.

The Boy Scouts of America are one of the most famous groups for banning homosexual members, and it has seemed for the last few months that their views may finally change.
Now, the BSA is proposing a partial lift of the exclusion, allowing homosexuals to join as youth members, but not as adult leaders.
The proposed resolution comes after weeks of deliberation on the issue. The next step is to take it to a vote amongst the 1,400 members of the National Council.
The proposal is already getting flack from both sides of the argument.
Gay-rights organizations such as GLAAD are calling the bill timid and inadequate, while Conservative groups criticize it for declaring that homosexuality is acceptable for children.
Ultimately, the BSA will likely have to take a clear stance on the issue.
As a result, many project that membership will decrease over time and that hostility toward the organization will grow until they lift the ban entirely.
Do you think homosexuals should be allowed in the Boy Scouts?
San Francisco 49ers player Chris Culliver is in hot water again, this time over a whole new set of offensive comments directed at women, not gays.
It's not quite in that league, but he posted a screen grab of an iPhone conversation to Instagram last night (for reasons unknown) that has drawn criticism.
Here's how the conversation went down ...
Culliver's friend states: "This bitch talkin bout how I can take her on a nice dat ... yeah my car ... bitch you got a whole dude ... live in work you trippin."
Culliver: "Lol yeah hoes be thinking more then they are. Boy I tell you"
Culliver's friend: "Right these hoes be trippin'"
The 49ers, who already dealt with Chris Culliver's homophobic comments last winter, said, "We are aware of the matter, and it is being handled internally."

A massive, inter-agency manhunt for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is still underway, with more than a million people in Boston and surrounding communities on lockdown.
Heavily-armed police are making their way through a 20-block area of Watertown, Mass., searching for the remaining Boston Marathon bombing suspect.
The search comes after a violent night in which Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's brother and alleged co-conspirator, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, died in a firefight with police.
One MIT campus police officer was killed and another transit officer was seriously wounded, while Dzhokhar Tsarnaev managed to evade capture.
The fugitive is considered armed and extremely dangerous.
Colonel Timothy Alben, head of the Massachusetts State Police, said in a news conference shortly after 12:30 p.m. that there had been "no apprehension."
The situation is changing moment by moment, however.
Local, state, and federal law enforcement officers, including the U.S. Secret Service, are undertaking a door-to-door search of the area in Watertown.
K-9 teams, explosives experts, and SWAT officers are involved, said State Police spokesman David Procopio. Alben said the search was 60 percent complete.
Authorities cannot rule out the possibility that the suspect is wearing an explosive vest, Procopio said; it is believed that his deceased brother was.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is a native of Kyrgyzstan, the Kyrgyz state news agency said. He was studying at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth.
Alben also alerted the public that there would be a controlled explosion by bomb experts this afternoon in Cambridge, where the two brothers lived.
The explosions would make it safer for investigators wary of what happened with Aurora shooter James Holmes, who booby-trapped his own residence.
In Washington, D.C., President Obama was briefed this morning in the White House Situation Room on the events in Boston, the White House said.
The latest developments spread shock and alarm through a city already rattled by the bombings on Monday afternoon at the Marathon finish line.
Three people were killed and more than 170 wounded.
Officers across the Boston area are tense and angry following the attacks on the two officers, a law enforcement official said, and fear what Tsarnaev might do next.
"This kid is obviously going down fighting," the official said.
"Rest assured, the cops are looking for a fight right now."
You can rest assured they'll find one before long. All we can do is hope and pray that it ends soon, and as well as something so terrible possibly can.

We interrupt non-stop coverage of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and the Boston city-wide manhunt to bring you one small piece of good news from a celebrity:
Kate Middleton has added three new charities to her already packed schedule.
The Duchess of Cambridge's charity work was extensive (she took on five last year) even before taking on Place2Be, SportsAid and the Natural History Museum.
All the charities she works with are emblematic of her "personal interests in supporting children and young people to build their skills, confidence and aspirations."
Place2Be supports underprivileged children in 175 schools with regard to mental and emotional issues. Kate has always advocated for young adults' mental welfare.
SportsAid helps both disabled and non-disabled athletes achieve their sports-related goals. Middleton has always been active in sports and athletics.
As for the third charity, the Duchess expressed fascination with the Natural History Museum after opening one of its exhibits and meeting scientists last year.
She released the following statement after her visit to the museum: "William and I are just two of millions of people who have passed through these doors."
"We have marveled at the spectacular wonders of the natural world, housed in this beautiful gallery. I care passionately about what this Museum stands for."
We marvel at Kate Middleton's wonderfulness every day.

Ke$ha has posted a new photo to Twitter in which she removes her glitter...
... and nearly all of her clothing as well!
The VERY revealing shot is the second raunchy picture released this week by the artist, as she flaunts a new, slim figure.
Might this be a view Harry Styles will see someday soon? Ke$ha recently said the two are texting and the relationship could develop into something more...
Reddit is currently under a malicious DDoS attack, according to the site's official Twitter.
The attack seems to have started Friday, coinciding with the developing story of the Boston bombing suspect manhunt, which is very much still underway.
A source of the attack is unconfirmed, however, a Reddit admin says it was/is being performed by "someone with a lot of time and bandwidth on their hands."
From all known accounts, this is serious, large-scale attack.
Posting what seems to be a graph of Reddit's server load, the administrator tells Mashable that he hasn't seen an attack "at this scale" before.
The site is currently displaying a message confirming that "Site availability is being impacted by a malicious DDoS attack. Please stay tuned."
However, most of Reddit's functions seem to work fine, but that situation may very well be fluid depending on the source and potency of the attack.
A DDoS, or distributed denial of service attack, is an effort that targets one or more of the pertinent Domain Name System root nameserver clusters.
Basically, smart hackers trying to take down a website.
