Selena Gomez: I'm Not Dating Justin Bieber!

Good news for a certain population of feverish fans in love with a 16-year-old Canadian singer: Justin Bieber isn't getting serious with fellow teen-pop sensation Selena Gomez, after all.

At least that's what Gomez, 18, told MTV News this weekend at Jingle Ball 2010, where she firmly denied that her recent outing with Bieber at a Philadelphia breakfast spot was proof of a new romance. (Like, can't two friends dig into some tasty flapjacks and syrup without launching the next great American love story?)

"It was pancakes. Who doesn't like pancakes?" she said. "We were both performing in the same place so we went and had pancakes together. That's all it is. All innocent."
Gomez opened up to MTV back in February about how she first developed feelings -- platonic feelings -- for the hitmaker she views as a brother: "I love Justin. When he first started to come over from Canada, his manager contacted me, and said that he would like to meet me. And he was just such a good kid....And I feel like a big sister now, 'cause I want to protect him....Now he's just become one of my good friends."

Bieber was spotted making out with Jasmine Villegas (co-star in his smash hit 'Baby' video) in the backseat of a Honda earlier this year, but his camp has not confirmed that he's dating anyone at the moment.

If Disney star Gomez -- who was born when her mom was just 16, and reportedly began wearing a 'purity ring' at age 12 -- is indeed a big-sister figure in Bieber's life, she might simply be counseling the 16-year-old to take it slow on the road to growing up.
