Justin Bieber gets a kiss on the cheek from fan Avalanna RouthThese days, just about anyone with an Internet connection or television has an opinion about Justin Bieber. But whether you love him, hate him, or simply cringe every time you hear an adolescent girl shriek his name, you gotta admit the kid has become a force to be reckoned with. But I've wondered if the fame has made him lose that genuine, down-to-earth vibe he and his mom have been marketing since day one ... Now, it looks like we have our answer.

The pop star went on a Valentine's Day date with one of his biggest fans yesterday. But she's not your average little girl suffering from a common case of Bieber Fever. Avalanna Routh is a 6-year-old who has for most of her young life battled an aggressive and rare form of cancer known as ATRT that is diagnosed in less than 30 cases per year.

Now, typically, candy hearts don't get people excited in the slightest: They're cheap and chalky tasting with really lame slogans imprinted on top. But "candy heart rejects" are a whole different story.

If Valentine's Day has got you down in the dumps with all the cheesy proclamations of love, then you definitely are going to want to check out #candyheartrejects on Twitter. By the time you scroll through all the incestuous, misogynistic, and dirty sayings, you won't even remember that you weren't on the receiving end of all those flowers and candy boxes today. In fact, you'll probably need a shower, and we mean that in the most clean way possible.

Imagine if you were to get a candy heart with one of the following sayings on it ... Best Valentine's Day ever! We rounded up some of the funniest. What are you waiting for -- take a look!

Okay, all you Valentine's Day slackers out there! Here's hoping the object of your affection is a Game of Thrones fan, because if he is? You're totally in luck: The most amazing valentine cards I've ever seen are just a click away. (Oh, and if he's not? Why on earth are you with that loser? Dump him immediately!)

Anyway, if Hallmark existed during medieval times, I imagine greeting cards would have looked something like these awesome print-out valentines by genius illustrator Chris Bishop.

Bear in mind, romance was a bit different back then ...

Absolutely nothing says Valentine's Day like chocolate. Whether you're a chocolate covered strawberry fanatic or a sucker for molten lava cake, there's a recipe for every kind of mocha lover perfect for today's Hallmark holiday. The best part?

Valentine's Day is a day for love, but it's also a day to reflect on love. Are you in love? If so, are you getting the love you want or is there still something missing? If not, could a psychic healer help you?

For those of us who are married, it can sometimes feel that even though the love is right in front of us, it isn't exactly the way we want it to be. He can be too distant or there can be too little sex. We can feel misunderstood or not listened to when, really, the answers for how to have good love are actually right in front of us.

Psychic to the stars Jusstine Kenzer has a lot to say about love. With Valentine's Day in mind, Kenzer gave The Stir her six pieces of advice for getting the love we want on Valentine's Day (and every day). Here they are:

Valentine's Day is tomorrow and you're all ready with your homemade chocolate truffles and pink frosted heart cookies and your red velvet cupcakes, right? NO?!? Yeah, me neither. I spent the weekend running errands, cleaning the bathroom, and trying to sort out our growing pile of mis-matched socks.

But it's not too late, would-be Valentiners! I've compiled here for you some fun, super-easy Valentines food treats to dazzle your hungry loved ones. Here's some breakfast ideas, dinner ideas, and a luscious dessert with just 2 ingredients.

Valentine's Day is encroaching and there's nothing we can do to stop it. Every year it pops up here in the middle of February, and every year we either clamour for dinner reservations with our lover boys or drink to our single heart's content alone on the couch. I mean, that's what everyone says you do, but really, why would I sit on the couch when lying in bed with my Merlot is so much more comfy and cozy. Please.

Anyway, if you happen to find yourself single this Valentine's Day, don't hide in bed. Don't sit on the couch. And for god's sake, don't tweet about how "lonely" you are. Instead, TREAT YO SELF. Make it the one day this year that you treat yo self to some cupcakes, to mimosas, or to some fine. leather. goods. Parks and Rec was definitely on to something. So! In that vein, here are 5 ideas to get you thinking about how you'll want to pamper yourself this Valentine's/Singles Awareness Day.

Get ready to shower your loved ones in cards, flowers, cute sayings, and of course, chocolate. It's that time of year when we can drink champagne and chow down on sweets in the name of love. I, for one, will totally be getting in on that action. But instead of buying a box of expensive chocolate truffles, I'm going to try my hand at making my own this year.

After all, you'll know exactly what's inside each and every ball of fun, and you'll know how to make them all year round. Bake sales and birthday parties will never be the same once you've mastered the truffle.

Here are five different ways you can whip up a batch of chocolate-y goodness for Valentine's Day ... and beyond!
