A number of celebrities came to New Jersey on Wednesday, December 8 to celebrate the holiday with their fans in Q102 Jingle Ball concert. Adam Lambert, Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber sent the crowd into a frenzy when they came out on stage for live performances.

Lambert catered concertgoers flocking the Susquehanna Bank Center in Camden with eight songs, including "Sleepwalker". Before proceeding with Grammy-nominated single "Whataya Want From Me", he took a minute to "brag," saying "I'm gonna brag for a minute because it feels real good to say. Because of this song, I just got nominated for a Grammy! And I appreciate it. I'm very honored."

Disney sweetheart Gomez, who did KIIS-FM Jingle Ball in Los Angeles before coming to New Jersey, heated up the concert with her own songs such as "Round Round". Rocking a white bedazzled bustier with matching pants and flats, she bounced up and down and even went barefooted at some points during her set.

Gomez's rumored boyfriend Bieber, meanwhile, decked black ensemble when singing his songs before passing the mic to Lambert. The Canadian pop star, who was spotted holding hand with the "Wizards of Waverly Place" star when grabbing a bite at IHOP, invited a female fan to the stage, serenaded and gave her a big bouquet of roses.

The other performers that night included Charice, Flo Rida, Train, Jesse McCartney, The Script and Cody Simpson.

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez Left IHOP Holding Hands

 

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez performed at Q102 Jingle Ball on Wednesday, December 8 to a screaming crowd, but what happened hours before that would make their fans scream louder. The two stopped by International House of Pancakes to have some breakfast just the two of them and left the spot hand in hand.

Inside the eatery, IHOP's "good folks" told TMZ that Bieber and Gomez also held hands and looked "cuddly" while sitting on the same side of a booth. While what happened inside IHOP is still questionable, TMZ has the proof that they indeed held hands as they left the place.

Gomez has in the past denied that they are dating, saying they are both busy. But that didn't stop her from having the Bieber fever. She said at the KIIS FM Jingle Ball in L.A. this past weekend, "I love Justin. I'd do anything for the kid." Bieber himself admitted in February this year, "I think Selena Gomez is pretty, but I don't like her. I think she is cute. I think she is a cutie."
