After a Pancake breakfast date, rumors surfaced that Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez have more than what they say they have. Despite the pictures and a mild PDA Selena broke her silence about the issue."It was pancakes. Who doesn't like pancakes?" Gomez told MTV News at the Z100 Jingle Ball 2010 in New York Friday, where she and the Biebs both hit the stage. "We were both performing in the same place so we went and had pancakes together. That's all it is. All innocent."

Selena also seems see Justin as a young brothers, she said in an interview back in February, "I love Justin. When he first started to come over from Canada his manager contacted me and he just said that he would like to meet me and he was just such a good kid," she explained. "And I feel like a big sister now, 'cause I want to protect him. So I'm always very cautious with him, but he is so talented and he's so sweet, so that just started us wanting to work together. Now he's just become one of my good friends." 

 The two was even quoted as the couple to beat Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens.

Girls that was romantically linked to Justin Bieber was Jasmine Villegas (his "BABY" music video leading lady) and they were even spotted kissing. See more of the pics here: Justin kissing Jasmine. But recently Justin clears the issue by saying to Barbara Walters that "IT WAS JUST A KISS". Read more here: Justin Bieber Talks About his Love Life. He's also linked to Selena's former BFF Demi Lovato. Life & Style has reported that Demi Lovato and Justin Bieber recently shared a kiss! A source close to both Demi and Justin revealed to the magazine that Demi thought Justin was extremely “mature for his age” and she was “shocked” when she learned what a great kisser he was!

While Selena Gomez said that she had never dated for long months. Selena was romantically linked to Nick Jonas of the Jonas Brothers and Taylor Lautner of the Twlight saga and even to Wizards of Waverly Place co-star David Henrie.

Is Selena denying the issue for being scared that she got mobbed by Beliebers?! Or is she just being honest that Justin really is like a brother to her?! x)
