After it was reported that Justin Bieber hung out with a mystery blonde (Sports Illustrated model Baskin Champion), sources say the singer did it only to make Selena Gomez jealous.

A source told ET, Justin “knows everything he’s doing is going to get out,” and this appearance with Baskin was to prove a point. “[Selena is] off having fun with her friends and so he’s showing that he can still go out and have fun too,” the source says. “And to be honest, I’m sure there’s a part of him that wants to make Selena a bit jealous! This seems like right out of the old Justin’s textbook! He was very manipulative with her emotions the last time and did stuff like this a lot.”

Oy vey. All these games, papi!
