Talk about cozy seatmates! After performing on Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve 2012 in the Big Apple, Justin Bieber hopped a flight from Newark, N.J., back to Los Angeles along with girlfriend Selena Gomez. Although the two each had their own first class seats, Gomez sat in Bieber's lap prior to takeoff. The two were smiling and laughing with each other, and even joking with fellow passengers who boarded the plane. – Gabrielle Olya
