If you haven't already, take a look at Justin Bieber on the cover of our 10th anniversary issue. Done? Great. Depending on how you reacted to JB's bloody photo shoot, you might have Bieber Fever. What is it exactly? Well, it's simply a euphemism for an intense obsession with the 18-year-old pop star. Believe it or not, the ailment isn't reserved for his cult of Beliebers. Continue reading for a look at The 10 Hottest Women With Bieber Fever, a gang of super hot female celebs who have expressed their love for the Biebs over the years.
Jennifer Love Hewitt
10. JENNIFER LOVE HEWITT
Whilst having a conversation about "vajazzling, playing a prostitute and dating a chef," of course the idea of Bieber Fever naturally comes up. The former teen sensation from Party of Five dished on the newest hearthrob by saying she'd gladly be his "puma." How does J.B. bring out the sexy animal in a woman we've been chasing since he was a fetus?! No fair.
Demi Lovato
9. DEMI LOVATO
The truth is, Demi Lovato didn't go to rehab for alleged drug and psychiactric issues; she went, that's right, for Bieber fever. OK, probably not, but work with us here. In 2009, the two had a tweet convo that could've been taken as the beginning of a romance. Yet, obviously, with Justin dating Demi's former BFF, Selena Gomez, they never achieved lift-off. The need for medical attention is entirely understandable with that kind of trauma.
Taylor Swift
8. TAYLOR SWIFT
Anyone could have already guessed that this country starlet has some "adoration" for the latest boy wonder. Nothing against Taylor. It's just that cute tween sensations with their own collectible dolls (a la Joe Jonas and Taylor Lautner) are exactly Taylor's type. So, of course T.Swizzle would "join [Justin's] fan club."
Evan Rachel Wood
7. EVAN RACHEL WOOD
Bieber fever is so powerful that it can lure Marilyn Manson's blood-bathing ex-girlfriend back to the land of sunshine and smiles. In fact, she's such a happy-go-lucky Belieber now that she even chanted sang his hit "Baby" during an October 2011 appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.
Kim Kardashian
6. KIM KARDASHIAN
Given how her infamous Elle photoshoot with Bieber was arguably the most hyped-up magazine look of 2010, Kim Kardashian's fever is no secret. Not to mention, his Twitter announcement that Kim was his new girlfriend (and her confirmation) not only sent 10-year-old chicks into enraged, psychotic shitfits, it also indirectly influenced Pauly D's new hairstyle. That's it. We must concede; the evidenced power of Bieber makes us official Beliebers.
Selena Gomez
5. SELENA GOMEZ
Of all the women on this countdown, no one is burning up with the fever as much as this 19 year-old actress. Gomez threw all caution to the wind like a crazy person last year by going super public--as in award show appearances and PDA-filled Hawaiian vacations--with her younger boy-toy. Of course, this opened her up to a slew of (literally) incomprehensible Twitter threats from 12 year-olds.
Katy Perry
4. KATY PERRY
The busty brunette singer has openly said that she would "tap" the Biebs, and even tweeted a photo as evidence to make fangirls and MILFs everywhere seethe with rage. Since he didn't return her sentiment, and she probably also received threats, Perry retracted her statement and claimed she already married her celebrity crush. Coward.
Nicole Scherzinger
3. NICOLE SCHERZINGER
Although Bieber made his crush on this Pussycat Doll known while they recorded "We Are The World," Scherzinger reciprocated his sentiment by admitting that he made her blush and tweeting at the mini Casanova that he was "cute" too. Kudos to J.B. for milking his puppy dog eyes and childlike charm, which will continue to work if his career goes more "Justin Timberlake" than "Aaron 'Creepy Flesh Beard' Carter."
Megan Fox
2. MEGAN FOX
If even Megan Fox admitted she isn't immune to Bieber fever, then the sickness is more serious than we could've ever imagined! Then again, she confessed to crushing on Justin Timberlake as a 16-year-old, and she also married another 1990s heartthrob, Brian Austin Green. Maybe she's feeling nostalgic?
Rihanna
1. RIHANNA
Even Rihanna, the revamped, tough-as-her-gun-tattoo songstress, had to hashtag a plead to spare her life in her tweet about seeing the Bieber's "six pack," (that, at his age, means more like Juicy Juice boxes than Budweiser cans). If we're not threatened by the pair's awkward, shirtless encounter, Bieber fanatics shouldn't be either.
