Gomez denies Justin Bieber romance

Selena Gomez has denied rumours that she has begun a relationship with Justin Bieber.

Suspicions were aroused last week after the teen celebrities were spotted out together in Los Angeles.

A source reported that the pair were "joking around and laughing" and holding hands while at Menchie's in the Encino area.

However, a representative from Gomez's camp has now denied that there is any truth to the rumours, telling Gossip Cop that the duo are "just friends".
