A youtube video has taken controversy up into the next level for wooing that the claimed couple is no longer tied up. The reason? Because Selena caught Justin texting ex-girlfriend Jasmine Villegas. That would be a reasonable cause for a split, no doubt - and this guy runs with it below in order to make his pitch to Gomez.
I can't say more... Well' its up to you to decide.

Lady Gaga's 'Judas', An Attack on Religious Groups?
It's undeniable, almost anything Lady Gaga does will spark some sort of controversy. Including this new video "Judas" which is, according to them, filled with biblical imagery that is currently the topic on tv news and debates all around the world, Gaga says she is not trying to anger any religious groups.
According to an article from MTV.com, Gaga explained that
it "is not meant to be an attack on religion. I respect and love everyone's beliefs." She expressed similar sentiments several times leading up to the premiere of "Judas," declaring that "it's meant more to celebrate faith than it is to challenge it."
"To the religious groups, I don't even know that there's religious [stuff in there]," she explained. "I'm like, you know, Jesus did have a crown of thrones, he did die for my sins. I'm a believer, so I say to them, those religious people, personally, I can't speak for Gaga, but as a director, a choreographer, as a believer, I say, 'Take a look at yourself.' For me, I would never [defame] my savior and the love and the non-judgment of what Jesus means to me. So I say, 'Take a closer look at why you're judging.' " says Laurieann Gibson, who co-directed the video with Gaga.
Gibson furthermore explains, "The discussions were massive, the concepts were many prior to landing on a place. They were just exciting, full of passion. It was a magical process and we're really proud of where we ended up.
"I think the concept stuck with this one because ultimately there was a place where we wanted to leave the interpretation up to each individual and not take away [Gaga's] power as a performer, as a dancer, as a star," she continued. "And to leave the moments for you to interpret, and be inspired by the fact that everyone has a Judas in their life and there is a place of deliverance."

US Government Says Plan to Burn Korans 'Un-American'
The State Department described the plan of Terry Jones as "un-American" to burn Korans in memory of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks -- though the head of that church says he is not deterred.
It doesn't represent the vast majority of American views according to P.J. Crowley which is the State Department spokesman.
Even Obama tells Rev. Terry Jones to call off 'International Burn-a-Koran Day'.
President Obama is appealing to a Florida pastor to listen to the "better angels" of his nature, and call off his incendiary plan to burn Korans on 9/11.

President Obama is appealing to a Florida pastor to listen to the "better angels" of his nature, and call off his incendiary plan to burn Korans on 9/11.
The commander-in-chief fears, as many others have said, that Rev. Terry Jones' "destructive" book burning would spark outrage and fuel the fires of hatred that could target American troops.
Secretary of State Clinton also condemned the church's plans during her remarks at a State Department dinner she hosted in observance of Iftar, the breaking of the daily fast during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
Though the National Association of Evangelicals and the National Council of Churches have denounced the plan to burn the Koran, Jones indicated he had support from other churches around the country. He did not name any, however.
Terry Jones knows his plan to burn Korans on the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks is radical, and that's exactly what he wants.
He believes it is what Jesus Christ would do.
At his fiery religious protest, Jones said at least 200 Korans will be incinerated on his church's 20-acre grounds.
"We feel that a radical message is necessary," Jones said.
"We expect Muslims that are here in America to respect, honor, obey, submit to our Constitution."
The Florida pastor has repeated his intention of tossing Islam's holy book into a bonfire, despite condemnations and warnings from the White House and the top commander of the U.S. military in Afghanistan, who fear the event will put soldiers in danger.
Terry Jones, the Pastor Behind 'Burn a Koran Day' Controversy
Like the prophets of old, Terry Jones has a message -- and it's fiery.
The controversial Florida preacher, who first lit a spark on Facebook when he called for people around the world to set fire to copies of the Koran, is now at the center of an international conflagration.
Jones' plan to set ablaze thousands of copies of the Muslim holy book on Sept. 11, a day he's dubbed International Burn a Koran Day, has become a flashpoint. What has been seen for weeks as a strange front in the culture wars, this weekend became a front in America's real war, with Gen. David Patraeus weighing in to say he believed the display would be detrimental and dangerous to U.S. troops fighting in Afghanistan.

Jones recently told ABC News he and his flock would continue "to pray" on whether they would follow through with the bonfire, but suggested they would indeed burn the books on Sept.11.
Jones, 58, is perhaps the unlikely face of what's become a small but international movement that preys on growing hostility and uneasiness in the lead up this year's 9/11 anniversary of the U.S. terrorist attacks.
