Gomez has had a red-hot 2013: she dumped her bad-news boyfriend (Justin Bieber), charmingly dissed him on the talk show circuit, got herself a hit movie (Spring Breakers), and performed at the MTV Movie Awards (shown here).Danny Moloshok/Reuters

Including... this guy. Gomez, who is 20, visited The Ellen DeGeneres Show on April 16 and described what went down: "Yeah, so I was in my dressing room and I had just finished performing. They knocked on my door and they said Brad Pitt would like to come in and I was like, 'He can come in.' I was trying to play cool and be really nice," Gomez said. "As soon as he walked out I ran and I hide under the craft service table for like two minutes because I couldn't believe it was happening."Danny Moloshock/Reuters

We can’t believe it happened either. Brat Pitt, seen here presenting the award for movie of the year, has a new movie coming out. In Hollywood, staying hip with the cool kids is imperative. But you guys: HE IS 49 YEARS OLD.Danny Moloshok/Reuters

Inside this van, leaving his hotel in Amsterdam on April 15, is the heartthrob of today’s youth who is, by all accounts, not okay at all. Justin Bieber wrote an entry into a guestbook at the Anne Frank House museum in Amsterdam, saying he hoped the Jewish teenager who died in a Nazi concentration camp "would have been a Belieber" – or fan of his – if history were different. It was the latest in a series of bad moves by the 19-year-old Canadian pop star, a downward spiral that started around the time he was dumped. His ex, on the other hand? As Gomez told DeGeneres: “I’m doing great – I met Brad Pitt!”Peter Dejong/The Associated Press
