Selena Gomez: I Didn't "Lie" About Dating Justin Bieber

Selena Gomez's words about the Biebs are coming back to haunt her!

On the Ellen DeGeneres Show Tuesday, the actress-singer, 18, got teased for what she used to say about her secret boyfriend Justin Bieber.

Ellen DeGeneres played an old clip of Gomez shrugging off romance rumors about Bieber, 17. "He's like my little brother. That's weird to me," Gomez said during her previous appearance on the show.

Giggling on Tuesday's show, Gomez didn't have a good answer for how to describe her relationship nowadays. "Don't take me to jail!" she said. "I don't know! I don't know."

"Now you've made [the relationship] public," DeGeneres pointed out. "[You've] made me a fool."

Laughing, Gomez retorted: "No, I really didn't...He's just sweet!"

DeGeneres continued to grill her good-naturedly. "He's not like your little brother, is he? No, he's not. And he's a fantastic guy. You can't try to hide that forever. I know you all were sneaking around but that's crazy. You're both huge stars and you can't hide from us!"

"I didn't lie to you," Gomez insisted. "I didn't though. I'll say that."

"No, you didn't blatantly lie," DeGeneres said. "[But] a little brother is not someone you want to date."

"Well, no," Gomez admitted. "That would be weird."

Pop sensation Justin Bieber meets wax double

LONDON - TEENAGE pop sensation Justin Bieber took time out from touring on Tuesday to visit the Madame Tussauds museum in London and pose next to a waxwork model of himself.

The model, dressed in a a red and black checked shirt and black jeans, was one of three Bieber replicas being unveiled - the others were in Amsterdam and New York.

'It's pretty incredible to see,' said the 17-year-old, before joking about how small the waxwork was. 'As you can see, you know, I'm at least six feet taller than this guy.' Liz Edwards, spokeswoman for the museum, said the real Bieber would naturally change quickly over the eight months it took to create the life-like model.

'So we really wanted to make sure we made a 'moment in time' figure,' she said. 'But it's the hair that everyone is paying the biggest attention to. So, I'd say it's the hair that's been the biggest challenge.'

The singer, already one of the world's biggest pop stars with albums My World and My World 2.0, was accompanied to the event by his mother, and he greeted a small crowd of fans. He said that he would ideally like his waxwork figure to stand next to US rapper Tupac Shakur.

'Biebermania' has hit Britain during his visit, with hundreds of screaming fans crowding outside his hotel in the northern city of Liverpool last week forcing police to close down the area. Bieber has two more concerts in London before playing in several other British cities and then heading for mainland Europe. -- REUTERS

Justin Bieber Haircut Costs “Baby” Crooner 80,000 Fans

The Biebs’ new look may prove to be the ultimate remedy for Bieber Fever.

Bieber lost 80,000 fans after chopping off his famous locks earlier this week, The Daily Star is reporting. The almost 17-year-old pop star — who had his banged crop chopped for charity on Monday — saw a massive exodus of his 7.5million Twitter followers after he unveiled his buzz cut.

Of course, that hasn’t stopped a select group of Beliebers from shelling out top dollar for a lock of his hair. After his much-talked about trim last week, Justin presented talk show hostess Ellen DeGeneres with a few precious strands of his shaved hair, telling the Emmy winner: “I’m giving pieces of it to different people. We’re doing something special. We want you to donate it to whatever charity you want.”

Ellen put the hair up for auction on ebay, with all proceeds going to the California animal rescue organization, The Gentle Barn. Bidding started at $10 and after just three days has already hit $10,000.

The death of The Bieber Cut hasn’t, however, adversely affected Justin’s album sales. He notched his second No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 this week when Never Say Never: The Remixes opened in the top slot with 165,000 copies sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Bieb’s first topper came with My World 2.0, which debuted at No. 1 last April.

Bieber Fever

Venues hoping to host a concert featuring banged singing superstar Justin Bieber better have plenty of seats….and an emergency case of pepper spray couldn’t hurt.

Thanks to the onslaught of teen girls afflicted with an acute condition popularly known as “Bieber Fever,” The Biebs can no longer perform in amphitheaters, concert halls, oranywhere for that matter that doesn’t have seating, according to the teen’s management and security detail.

Justin’s rabid fanbase is notorious for losing control at shows — in fact, there’ve been at least three Bieber-related stampedes in the past 18 months — and standing-room-only arenas pose security risk, Bieber’s bodyguard Kenneth Hamilton tells Rolling Stone Magazine.

“You’ve got a mob pushing, and even if it’s little girls, they’re crawling on top of each other with their arms and elbows, and getting injured.”

Bieber’s manager, Scooter Braun, was arrested last year after he was deemed culpable for a riot at a Bieber CD signing at a mall in suburban Long Island, NY in Oct. 2009.

LOS ANGELES - JUSTIN Bieber may have been shut out at the Grammys, but he picked up the Most Valuable Player award in the NBA All-Star celebrity game.

The 16-year-old teen singing sensation had eight points, four assists and two rebounds for the West team, which lost 54-49 to the East on Friday night at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

The All-Star celebrity game features former NBA players, WNBA players, actors and singers. It precedes the NBA All-Star game on Sunday night.

Retired player Scottie Pippen led the East team with 17 points and had what could have been the defensive highlight of the night - a third-quarter block of Bieber.

Bieber was nominated for two Grammy Awards, but didn't win either in the ceremony last weekend.
