According to Selena Gomez herself, she was just having pancakes with Justin Bieber at the iHop restaurant where they were spotted. "Who doesn't like pancakes?" asks the teenage singer and actor who stars as Alex in the Disney channel series Wizards of Waverly Place.
At the Jingle Ball event hosted by radio station Z100, Selena Gomez told MTV news, "We were both performing in the same place so we went and had pancakes together. That's all it is. All innocent."
While this might, in part, be to safeguard herself from death threats like the one received by reality TV star Kim Kardashian after she posed with Justin Bieber for Elle magazine in the summer, we rather think that that is all there is to it.
Justin Bieber, just 16 years old is constantly in the media spotlight and usually has scores of female fans following him about. He is set to make his acting debut in the film "Never Say Never", which is about his life, and it hits theaters sometime in February 2011.
Selena Gomez, who has been labeled the next Miley Cyrus (a.k.a Hannah Montana) by some, has also made her film debut and starred in Ramona and Beezus, which was released earlier this year.
In 2011, she is set to feature in a film called Monte Carlo that will also feature Gossip Girl Leighton Meester and Katie Cassidy, which is produced by Nicole Kidman, Denise Di Novi and Alison Greenspan.
