'Selena Gomez' has been banned from Facebook. The world-famous social media site gave La Gomez her walking papers by permanently disabling her account on August 1. What will Justin Bieber say? Probably nothing. In fact, he'll probably think it's crazy that Facebook can't tell the difference between the real Selena and...another "real Selena." It's...extremely complicated.
Actually, it wasn't Justin Bieber's lady-love who got booted from Facebook last week. It was another woman with the same name, and that woman was understandably shocked and upset to find that her Facebook account had been disabled for being "inauthentic." That means her account allegedly violated one of Facebook's most important terms which states that "impersonating anyone or anything is not allowed." And Selena had every right to be angry, since Selena Miranda Gomez is actually her real, legal name.
Selena Miranda Gomez, an 18-year-old girl living in New Mexico, is mad as hell because she's been wrongfully banned from her favorite social networking site.
"I AM NOT AN IMPOSTOR ..." Selena Miranda Gomez explained, "My name is not hers on my page. In fact, I even put my middle name on my FB to clear up any confusion. I did not have one single famous friend. I did not refer to myself as [the famous Selena], and I did not have any pictures of her on my page!"
Alas, her explanations have obviously fallen on deaf ears. Although she's begged Facebook to reactivate her account, they've ignored her.
Perhaps Selena Miranda Gomez should try to contact the real—er—the famous Selena Gomez and ask for her help in clearing things up with Facebook. Hey, it couldn't hurt.

Headline tease: Justin Bieber goes out to eat with an older lady, and it's not Selena. Does this mean "Jelena's" sweet fairytale made for TV romance won't be ending in marriage?
Article: Justin was spotted at Quaint Diner X last night having dinner with an older woman whom he considers very special. Could it be that he's cheating? Not hardly. He was eating with his good ol' mom. Everything is just fine with "Jelena" because Justin is a selfish prick that mistreats and browbeats her and sings her "Happy Birthday" in front of the whole world. They couldn't be happier, ...just look at the pictures of her crying and frowning.

Headline: Justin Bieber savagely killed a defenseless animal! What will Selena think?
Article: Yesterday, "Jelena" was spotted out eating ice cream when LaGomez was bitten by a mosquito. Without hesitation, and to fearlessly defend his best girlfriend against a ravenous micro-monster, he squashed it with a soft slap to her leg. But Selena doesn't seem to mind getting slapped. She just smiles as she gives him a napkin to wipe off the bug guts. Wow, isn't she such a supportive girlfriend?
