Selena Gomez quizzed over "brother" Bieber

Selena Gomez has laughed off a past comment she made describing Justin Bieber as a "little brother".

The Wizards of Waverly Place actress was quizzed about rumours suggesting she is romancing Bieber during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Tuesday.

DeGeneres opened the questioning by playing a clip of Gomez's past appearance on the show, during which she brushed off speculation of a romance, comparing the 'Baby' singer to a family member. "What do you have to say now?" she asked Gomez.

"Don't take me to jail!" responded the actress. "I don't know! I don't know!"

As the 18-year-old dissolved into giggles, the host went on to suggest that Gomez and Bieber had been trying to hide their romance until going public at the Vanity Fair Oscars party in February, joking that Gomez had made a "fool" of her.

"I really didn't!" said Gomez. "I promise you I didn't! He's just sweet!... I didn't lie to you, though. I will say that!"

The star didn't directly comment on her current relationship status with Bieber, who is on tour in the UK, but did agree with DeGeneres when the host suggested that a little brother isn't someone you would want to date.

"Well, no," she said. "That would be weird and wrong."

Gomez is currently promoting her new single 'Who Says?' and has said that she will launch her first headline tour this summer.

Lohan, Franco 'sign up for explicit book'

Lindsay Lohan has reportedly signed a deal to appear in an explicit photographic book.

According to the Daily Mirror, the Mean Girls star will front the publication with fellow actor James Franco. The explicit content will include "full frontal nudity".

The deal is said to be worth around £2.1 million ($3.4m), with photographer Terry Richardson taking the shots.

The source claimed: "Lindsay is struggling to get another break in Hollywood. There's a stigma attached to working with her and she is determined to change this, starting with the photographic book."

"Terry Richardson has persuaded Lindsay and James to get involved. He has assured them it will be provocative but tasteful. There will be a lot of nakedness - some of it graphic and suggestive - but it will be a real statement book."

Lohan has recently been charged with stealing a necklace worth $2,500.

Dianna Agron: 'Paparazzi can be invasive'

Dianna Agron has insisted that the paparazzi can sometimes appear "threatening" when they are trying to snap her picture.

The Glee star told Interview magazine that she doesn't attract much attention from photographers in her daily life.

"On a day-to-day basis, it doesn't really affect me much because the places that I go in LA very rarely have paparazzi, and if there are fans, they're so nice and easygoing," Agron said.

The 20-year-old Savannah native went on to say that she's yet to comprehend how to react to the rare occasions when she is confronted by the press.

She explained: "Sometimes there are paparazzi that take photos and you don't know they're there... And then there's other times where they're two feet away from your face and it's invasive and it feels threatening, so you don't want to be smiling. You just want to get out of that situation.

"You know people can look at it as, 'Why is she playful there and why is she so cool here?' It's not that. It's just literally, they're shouting nasty things at you and they're in your face. You can see a picture and people can interpret it different ways."

Earlier this week, Agron revealed that she damaged her voice while filming the new sci-fi drama I Am Number Four .

Reese Witherspoon pleased to be friends with Pattinson

Reese Witherspoon has said that she is overjoyed to have become friends with Robert Pattinson while filming Water for Elephants.

The actress stars opposite Pattinson in the film, which tells the story of an unlikely love triangle set during the Great Depression.

"I am so lucky," Witherspoon admitted to Entertainment Tonight. "He's so amazing and wonderful and sweet and just the nicest guy too, so you can just add that to the soup.

"I mean, he's just so good looking and he's a really nice person," the actress added.

However, when questioned as to whether her friendship with the English actor could develop into a romantic relationship, Witherspoon was quick to dismiss any rumours.

"We'll probably just laugh the whole time, because all we do is just laugh and joke around," Witherspoon said, insisting her friendship with Pattinson is purely platonic.

The actress announced her engagement to Creative Artists Agency Head of Motion Picture Talent Jim Toth late last year.

The Only Way Is Essex star Amy Childs looks mint on night out with new boyfriend Joe

She's known for wearing tight outfits to show off her toned figure.

But last night The Only Way Is Essex star Amy Childs went for a new look when she stepped out wearing an elegant and chic mint green dress for a date with her broker boyfriend Joe.

The 20-year-old redhead smiled for photographers as she and Joe arrived back at the May Fair hotel after a meal at the exclusive Nobu Berkeley restaurant.

And, clearly keen to show off her pretty dress, which she teamed with black heels and a matching clutch bag, Amy continued to pose sexily for photographers until she was pulled inside the hotel by Joe, who was clearly keen to call it a night.

Earlier in the evening, Amy had revealed she was excited about her evening out, tweeting fans: 'Having nice day off today.... Looking forward to tonight with joe xxx'

Talking recently about her relationship with Joe, whose surname is unknown, Amy said: 'Joe is so lovely and he treats me so well. I'm just really happy at the moment.'

In fact, she and Joe have been friends for years but nothing ever happened between them because she was dating Joe's friend Kirk Norcross - a relationship viewers of the ITV2 show were treated to glimpses of throughout the first series.

Amy added: 'I've known him for years - I used to give him massages. But nothing happened between us at first because of the Kirk thing. It's going really well. He's so sweet.'

However, as they've only been dating for a few weeks, Amy is still unsure whether Joe is 'The One', adding: 'It's so hard to say because it's all new and very early days.'

Meanwhile, Amy has denied claims she is the highest-paid star of The Only Way Is Essex - over co-stars including Sam Faiers and Mark Wright.

She tweeted earlier this week: 'All this rubbish about me being the most paid TOWIE star is a load of rubbish.

'We all get treated the same I am not a DIVA I'm still normal girl ha ... Sorry got to be said.'

Ashley Cole 'splits from Kayla Collins'

Ashley Cole has reportedly split from I'm A Celebrity... star Kayla Collins.

The pair ended their five-week relationship following an argument at the P Diddy playback party on Thursday, The Sun reports.

A source said: "Ashley and Kayla enjoyed their time together but knew a long-term future was unlikely. Kayla went back to the States over Christmas and Ashley was looking forward to meeting up with her afterwards but that was it - nothing more.

"Both have heavy work commitments and Ashley has just come out of a high-profile relationship so it just wasn't the right time to start getting serious."

The Playboy model apparently left London's Pigalle Club in tears after becoming unhappy that Cole was spending more time with his friends and flirting with female fans.

Pink defends controversial music video

Pink has defended the controversial music video for her latest single 'F**kin' Perfect'.

The singer took to her website to explain the clip, which features a sex scene and a girl cutting her wrists in a bath.

She said: "I'm sure my newest video for 'F**kin' Perfect' will be much like some of my other videos, which basically means I expect it will ruffle some feathers... I want art to make me think. In order to do that, it may p*ss me off, or make me uncomfortable. That promotes awareness and change, or at least some discussion [and] that is my intention.

"Cutting, and suicide - two very different symptoms of the same problem - are gaining on us... A lot of us have seen certain starlets showing off their latest scars on a red carpet somewhere, usually right before they head back to their favourite rehab.

"It's a problem, and it's something we should talk about. We can choose to ignore the problem, and therefore ignore this video, but that won't make it go away. I don't support or encourage suicide or cutting. I support the kids out there... I want them to know I'm aware. I have been there. I see them. Sometimes that's all it takes."
