Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez Dating and Kissing
Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez keep dodging questions about the nature of their friendship, but proof of a romance may be in a picture circulating on the Web since last one week, what appears to be the rumored couple kissing.While the guy's face can't be seen, the person appears to have Bieber's signature locks and is wearing a necklace awfully similar to the one the 16-year-old singer often sports.
As for the girl, the profile shot looks remarkably like the "Wizards of Waverly Place" star.
So is it them?
Not according to Bieber's rep, who insisted to the Daily News Wednesday that the picture isn't legitimate.
"The photo was clearly photoshopped and is fake," his publicist told the News. There's "no validity to it whatsoever."
The teen supercouple-in-the-making has repeatedly insisted they're just friends and even more like siblings despite a flurry of pictures suggesting their relationship isn't just platonic (or familial, for that matter).
Gomez, 18, was photographed embracing the young heartthrob on his tour bus earlier this month, a display of affection that came a few weeks after they were spotted leaving a restaurant arm-in-arm.
And the actress' choice not to wear her purity ring anymore has only fueled the romance speculation even more.
The same day the kiss photo lit up the Web (and possibly broke a lot of hearts), Bieber took to Twitter to reflect on the past year and its "crazy rumors."
"Its [sic] been a fun year with a lot of blessings," he tweeted. "Some crazy rumors but so much love and memories. We r just gettin started!!"
"So enjoy the holidays," he told his fans. "Get crazy and have some laughs. Life is too short. At least that is what they tell me."
