Justin Bieber kisses Selena Gomez -- ‘cause he is her boyfriend

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez showed they could get busy after keeping busy, kissing each other during a Los Angeles Lakers game Tuesday night in front of the crowd and, of course, a few eager cameras.

Plus Gomez brought the man some nachos -- what’s not to love?

The two had gotten their share of prime-time face time first, with Bieber appearing on “The Voice” to introduce a clip for his new single “Boyfriend,” and Gomez performing her “Hit the Lights” on ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars.”

Competing networks, kids? Really? Though perhaps the smooch was a kiss to make up in advance for “The Voice” landing a bigger ratings share than the “DWTS” results show. Heaven knows the Lakers seemed to take it all hard, losing big time to the San Antonio Spurs, 112-91.

And to think, it was only a year ago February that they were being accused of a little PDA at the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party, where he put his arm around her for the cameras, and the two acted like a couple in general.

Apparently, the Biebs isn’t one to rush things. Like the song says, “I can be a gentleman, anything you want / If I was your boyfriend.”
