Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez had their first big public date

On Oscar night, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez had their first big public date they went to the Vanity Fair Oscar party together, and they even posed for photos on the red carpet.

A few nights later, on March 1, Selena and Justin went out to celebrate his 17th birthday in LA.



There was a party at Maggiano's Little Italy restaurant. Unfortunately, Selena didn't want to be photographed on this outing. She kept covering her face, even after getting into Justin's purple car (he drove!).

If these two weren't huge pop stars you'd think they were just two normal teenagers going out on a date!

Justin's family and the rest of his friends weren't spotted leaving the restaurant with the "Baby" singer but he did enjoy some good family time prior to the dinner.

Partying wasn't the only thing on Justin's agenda for his birthday, the pop star also helped raise over $45,000 for charity: Water, a non-profit charity that provides clean drinking water to people in developing nations, as part of his celebration.
