Steamy pictures of baby-faced stars Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber kissing passionately on a beach in Maui, Hawaii, last week had legions of jealous 14-year-old girls taking to Twitter and Facebook to announce they were out for the Disney actress' blood, the New York Post reported Sunday.
"Stay away from Justin, pedophile," one angry fan tweeted at Gomez, "I'm gonna kill ya in the night underneath your smelly bed."
Others opted for friendly advice over death threats. "Dear Selena Gomez. I hate you more than life. Go jump off a cliff. K? Bye," tweeted a Bieber fanatic.
Another ominous Biebhead warned, "Selena Gomez is dangerously close to a long, slow painful death."
The puppy-love relationship between Gomez, 18, and Bieber, 17, spawned Facebook groups such as "I hate Selena Gomez cuz she is dating my man."
Gomez, who got her break on the Disney show "The Wizards of Waverly Place" and has released three pop albums, previously dated teen heartthrob Nick Jonas of the Jonas Brothers. But even dating an eligible member of one of the world's biggest boy bands could not prepare her for the wrath of Bieber Nation.
A selfless fan concerned only with Bieber's happiness warned Gomez that millions of fans had his back, "If Selena Gomez breaks Justin Bieber's heart, I will not break her face! I will kill her without kindness."
Gomez and Bieber decided to go public with their relationship after months of denying the rumors they were more than just good friends.
