Though she's been telling the press every chance she gets, no one wants to believe that Selena Gomez is single.

In addition to the usual Justin Bieber reconciliation rumors, Selena has been linked to a number of male celebs in recent months, and she recently took time to specify that there's one famous dude who she'd definitely make time for.

Selena covers the new issue of InStyle, and when the mag asked about rumors that she's dating Zayn Malik, Ms. Gomez made it clear that she's definitely not hooking up with the former One Direction heartthrob...but that doesn't mean she hasn't thought about it.

“If he had asked me out on a date, I would be seen with him," Selena said. "Just kidding, but not kidding,”

She went on to say that she's currently on the market, and hating every second of it:

“I hate it,” Selena said about dating. “It’s hard and I’m weirded out by the idea that a guy has googled me before we meet, and that has happened.

“I feel like I look 16 sometimes, which is a bummer because I would love to date older guys.”

So Selena hates the single life. Perhaps that's why she gets back together Bieber about once a month. 

He may not be an "older guy," but he knows how to serenade Selena with an old-school tune. That's gotta count for something, right?

Anyway, Zayn should probably make his move ASAP. We're sure Jelena will be back on by the end of the week. 

If you're a Taylor Swift fan, you know the girl is fiercely protective of her squad. You probably also know that Taylor and Justin Bieber aren't exactly BFFs.

So it's not surprising that Taylor will do anything in her power to discourage her gal pal Selena Gomez from giving the Biebs another chance - even if it means flying her halfway around the world.

Taylor is currently in Australia for the final leg of her marathon 1989 tour.

Appropriately, she'll also be celebrating her 26th birthday Down Under on December 13.

Naturally, Taylor is planning to make the celebration a star-studded affair, which means most of the squad will be in attendance.

But while A-listers ranging from Oprah to Ed Sheeran are expected to make the trip, sources say Taylor's top priority is getting Selena down to Sydney so that she can talk her friend out of getting back together with Justin.

Insiders say Taylor is basically the only reason that Selena hasn't reconciled with Justin already.

She's apparently powerless when it comes to the Biebs, and even though she knows it'll end inheartbreak, Selena is reportedly helpless against his charm.

Apparently, when Taylor saw the footage of Bieber serenading Selena that recently made the rounds online, she knew she needed to get Selena to join her on tour ASAP.

Sources say the plan is to get Selena to have so much fun with her female friends that she'll realize she doesn't need Justin.

We imagine it'll work for a little while - but you know we're in store for at least one more Bieber-Selena reconciliation.

Despite a few sightings together in the last few weeks, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are not a couple again.

We might be forgiven for thinking so, if Bieber's latest Instagram is any indication.  

On top of that, Bieber serenaded Gomez with "My Girl" at Parq Bar inside the Montage Hotel Beverly Hills on November 20th.

A few days later, Gomez attended Bieber's AMAs after-party.

"They care about each other and miss each other, but they're not getting back together right now," a source told People.

Last night, Bieber posted a photo of himself and Gomez on an ATV, taken about a year ago in Canada.

"Just a throwback calm down," he wrote.

Punctuation issues notwithstanding, Biebs was just flipping through his personal photo album and wanted to shared a walk down memory lane with his fans.

What his fans saw was a lonely 21-year-old missing his ex-girlfriend, and hoping to rekindle the flame with a cute photo.

This is what I do.  I analyze Instagrams.

Selena Gomez dons several chic outfits in a new photo shoot for InStyle UK, which features her on the cover of the magazine's January 2016 issue.

In it, she appears to have eschewed the use of a bra.

The 23-year-old Gomez has showcased revealing looks in the past, including on her new Revival album cover, in which she appears topless.

She has also been the target of body shaming trolls online.

A frequent subject of tabloid and social media gossip, Gomez has not hesitated to fire back at those critics when she feels they cross a line.

Still, she has her insecurities and she readily admits it.

"I'm learning that you can be comfortable and still look beautiful," Gomez told InStyle UK. "Some days, I like what I see [in the mirror]."

"Other days I'm like, "I'm not even going to bother.'"

Selena certainly looks amazing in the photos above.

We challenge anyone to argue that, but high self esteem or low, and bra or no bra, she will forever be linked by many to her famous ex.

Especially lately, given a recent string of events.

With Justin Bieber serenading her at a hotel bar, posting throwback photos and speaking cryptically about her, Jelena rumors are hotter than ever.

You may vomit on cue.

According to a number of recent sightings, Selena Gomez is feeling Justin Bieber these days. The ex-lovers having gotten mighty close again of late.

As for Selena is actually feeling herself, however, health wise?

"I am in a great place and I'm very healthy," the singer told Billboard Magazine in interview excerpts that were released this week.

Gomez had previously opened up to Billboard in October about her diagnosis of Lupus and how she actually underwent chemotherapy for the disease.

That reveal came several months after Gomez spent two weeks in a treatment center, a visit that fueled rumors of substance abuse.

"I wanted so badly to say, 'You guys have no idea. I'm in chemotherapy. You're assholes,'" the singer told Billboard this fall.

"I locked myself away until I was confident and comfortable again."

Lupus is an autoimmune disease that flares up from occasionally. It is incurable and it brings on symptoms such as chronic fatigue, fever, joint pain, rashes and chest pain.

"It has been overwhelming and the response has been very supportive, which is nice - but it still makes me a little uncomfortable," Gomez adds.

"I waited for the right time to talk about it... I'm not trying to be loud about it: It was time to use my platform to help."

Other celebrities who have been diagnosed with lupus include Nick Cannon, Toni Braxton and Lady Gaga, who told Larry King in 2010 that she had “tested borderline positive for the disease."

We admire Selena for opening up about her health issues and we wish her the best.

Remember back in February of 2014 when we asked if Selena Gomez and Niall Horan were a new couple?

Let's run that question back, shall we?

According to multiple reliable outlets (People Magazine, E! News) the artists attended Jenna Dewan-Tatum's 35th birthday bash at Bootsy Bellows on Friday night.

They hung out there with fellow stars such as Ashton Kutcher, Channing Tatum, Mila Kunis and Adam Levine.

Oh, and they were spotted MAKING OUT!!!!

E! sources say the solo artist and the One Direction member kissed, hugged and danced, while also posing together with a group of friends at the event for a photo.

Earlier in the night, both Gomez and Horan took to the stage as part of 102.7 KISS-FM's Jingle Ball 2015.

Back in May of last year, Selena and Niall allegedly attended a Katy Perry concert in London and got very cozy during that concert as well.

There's a history of attraction here, folks.

There's also some history between Justin Bieber and One Direction.

The superstar threw a bit of shade in the group's direction last month prior to both sides releasing a new album on November 13.

In a brief Instagram video, Bieber taunted One Direction by making a face of fear, claiming that was the face One Direction members make upon realizing their new album was going up against Bieber's new album.

We can't help but wonder what Bieber's face looked like upon reading this Gomez-Horan news, however.

Quick question for you, Justin Bieber:

What do you mean?!?

For the second time in just a few days, the singer has shared a throwback photo of him and Selena Gomez.

The first old picture of the ex-couple featured Selena and Justin riding an ATV together, with the former's hand on the latter's leg.

Bieber clearly knew the image would stir up chatter of a reconciliation, so he wrote "just a throwback calm down" as the caption.

This time around, however, he actually shared a picture from 2012 of him and Gomez holding hands (with "Crazy throwback" as the caption) and it's impossible not to wonder about the timing.

Justin did, after all, put this image out there the day after sources allege Gomez made out with Niall Horan at a party in Hollywood.

Is he trying to make his pretty territory in some way?

Is he simply in a reminiscent mood now that it appears Gomez has moved on?

The young singer, of course, dated off and on (and then off... and on again... and again) for three years prior to splitting in late 2014.

But they've been hanging out a lot in recent weeks, including one occurrence of Bieber serenading Gomez at in a hotel lobby.

What did THAT mean?

It's never ever clear with these two, but Bieber appears to be hoping Gomez chooses one direction with her lips moving forward.

And that direction would be his own.

Whoa there. Now we get it.

Now we see why Justin Bieber apparently cannot let Selena Gomez go and why Niall Horan was apparently making out with the singer at a recent party in Los Angeles.

Gomez has gone ahead and made this very clear in a new teaser for her upcoming music video set to "Hands to Myself."

Selena shared the preview on Monday morning, tweeting along with the following footage:

“Catch the sneak peak of my #HandsToMyself video featuring the #NewBeatsPill!”

The clip starts off with this beautiful young singer walking into a luxury home, taking off her jacket... and revealing she’s wearing nothing but a black bra and underwear underneath.

The artist then admires herself in the mirror after climbing the steps and entering her bedroom, where she turns on the Pill and gets all comfy and cozy on the bed.

“Hands To Myself” is a track off Gomez’s latest album "Revivial."

It was released in October and debuted at number-one on the Billboard 200 chart.

She performed the song at last month’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show taping, which will air on CBS; and she also sang it at this month’s Jingle Ball concerts.

It's unclear just when the official video will be released, but it's very clear that Selena Gomez has a nice body.

You can see it for yourself here:

There's been another Selena Gomez and Niall Horan sighting, folks.

A few days ago, Gomez and Horan weren't just spotted at a party in honor of Jenna Dewan-Tatum's birthday.

They were spotted at this event getting close, getting cozy and MAKING OUT.

So, with rumors of a romance heating up the Internet, the artists spent time together once again on Saturday evening, enjoying themselves at the Santa Monica Pier.

As you can see below, the outing was even captured on camera by enthusiastic fans in the area.

Witnesses confirm hat Gomez and Horan (who were joined by friends) enjoyed a few amusement park rides, including the roller coaster.

They also hung out near an ice cream stand and near the game booths, although it's unclear at the moment whether or not Niall won Selena any stuffed animals.

It's pretty gosh darn clear, however, how Justin Bieber is responding to this apparent connection.

Not long after talk of Gomez and Horan's makeout session went viral, Bieber shared a throwback photo of him and Selena holding hands in 2012.

To paraphrase Justin himself... what does this mean?!?

We're not sure at the moment.

But Gomez has also released a music video teaser that features her in nothing but black lingerie.

It answers all questions about just what Bieber and Horan are fighting over. The only question remaining now is this: Who will win the battle for Selena Gomez?!?

Selena Gomez is not in need of clothing these days.

The young singer stripped way down to black lingerie for a recent music video teaser, and she also performed last night on stage at the 2015 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

The routine was taped a few weeks ago in New York City, but aired Tuesday evening on CBS.

Gomez first took the stage for a rendition of “Hands To Myself,” following it up with “Me & My Girls," an appropriate track for the scantily clad occasion, wouldn't you say?

Both singles are off Selena's album "Revival," which was released in October and debuted at number-one on the Billboard 200 albums chart.

The performance was not without a bit of controversy, however, as some viewers apparently thought Gomez was lip syncing on stage.

This is as cutting a comment as you can make about an artist, which is why Gomez actually went into the Comments section of the Victoria's Secret Instagram account last night and responding to criticism by writing:

“Yes I f–king sing live.”

You tell 'em, girl!

Gomez, of course, has also been in the news of late due to what's going on in her personal life.

Is she getting back together with Justin Bieber? Are she and Niall Horan really a romantic item, considering all the time they've spent together recently?

We don't know. 

But we do know that we love these performances! Check them out now.

Selena Gomez looked downright stunning while performing on Tuesday night at the 2015 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show;

This cannot be denied or debated.

But some folks in the social media universe apparently can find something to complain about in regard to Selena's routine, which included renditions of two hits off her new album.

After Victoria’s Secret shared a couple images from Selena’s sexy performance on its Instagram account, comments sprung up accusing the artist of lip syncing.

And you can say whatever you want about Gomez's love life... you can make whatever cracks you see fit about her inability to move on from Justin Bieber... but you do NOT accuse a singer of lip syncing.

There really is no greater insult.

Which is why Gomez jumped on her own Instagram account to reply to this allegation, writing one declarative statement in response:

Yes I f----- sing live.

Here. Take a look at Selena's performance and decide whether or not she's telling the truth for yourself:

Selena Gomez Gets Sexy for Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

The former Disney star, who recently admitted that she underwent chemotherapy to treat Lupus, has been open in recent months about online shaming while promoting her new album "Revival."

She simply isn't going to take it any longer.

"You have to understand that I dealt with a lot of body shaming this year, and I've never experienced that before," she said during a radio interview on L.A.'s Power 106 in September.

"I don't care about that stuff, but I did start gaining weight and I didn't really mind it. I enjoyed it."

Yesterday, we reported that cops were called to Justin Bieber's hotel room in London after a young woman who was partying with the singer had a major meltdown in the hotel's lobby.

By the time police arrived on the scene, the woman had calmed down considerably. She was escorted home, and no charges were filed.

It's not even clear if the cops ever spoke to Justin or visited his room.

Even so, we're guessing the Biebs is not enjoying the attention that he's getting from this story.

For one thing, Justin's been attempting to rebuild his reputation these past few months, and a story about the cops getting called to an orgy gone awry isn't great for the squeaky-clean image that he's trying to project. 

Even worse, sources say Selena Gomez is pissed at Justin for partying with groupies while he's on tour.

We can understand if you're a bit confused by that, considering Selena and the Biebs are officially broken up, but lately the dude has been putting in work to try and win SelGo back.

If you've seen the video of Justin serenading Selena in public, you know he's serious about trying rekindle his first romance.

Selena reportedly believed he was, too - until she heard about spot of shagging across the pond. 

So does this mean it's well and truly over for Selena and Justin? We certainly, hope so, but we doubt it.

That dude is seriously addicted to the douche.

You can relax now, Justin Bieber. You can breathe a little easier.

Because we think you're going to like what Selena Gomez has to say here.

Over the past week or so, the Internet has been on fire with talk that Gomez is dating One Direction hunk Niall Horan.

The case for this budding relationship rests on Selena and Niall allegedly making out during a party in Los Angeles.

And then Selena and Niall having a grand old time at an the Santa Monica Pier a short time later.

What does Gomez have to say about this romantic rumor? Is she singing certain sexy notes with Horan?

"Oh my god! No," the 23-year-old singer told Entertainment Tonight at Billboard's 10th Annual Women in Music event in New York City on Friday.

But why have the stars been hanging out so much then?

They are just good friends, Selena says.

"I love him, I always have. He's amazing," she explains.

Gomez continues to insist she's single, even though she's also been spending more time than ever with Bieber over the past several weeks.

She admitted to InStyle UK recently that dating for someone in her position can be a challenge.

"I hate it. It's hard," Gomez told the magazine. "I'm weirded out by the idea that a guy has Googled me before we meet, and that has happened."

We can understand that.

It's yet another reason why we predict Selena will end up back together with Bieber before all is said and done.

In case you somehow haven't heard, Taylor Swift is friends with a lot of famous females.

But while the Swift Squad never stops growing, Taylor has always seemed to feel especially protective of original member Selena Gomez. Of course, that could be a result of the fact that Taylor seriously hates Justin Bieber.

In fact, sources are claiming that Taylor has taken steps to ensure that Bieber and Gomez never, ever, ever get back together by taking Selena's love life in one direction:

It remains unclear if Selena and Niall Horan from 1D are actually dating, but they've certainly been spending a lot of time together.

Now, insiders are claiming that Taylor introduced Selena and Niall in hopes that a new relationship would prevent Selena from giving Justin a 400th chance.

Selena denies that she's dating Niall, but several witnesses have spotted the singers canoodling in public.

“Niall and Selena were seen kissing in the middle of the club, in front of everyone,” a witness tells Us Weekly.

So it seems that everything is working out just as Taylor planned.

If this whole music thing doesn't work out, the girl should travel the country giving talks about effective squad control strategies.

If you're still questioning whether Selena Gomez is single, her latest Instagram pics may be enough to remove all doubt.

On the left, we have Selena in a bikini. Nothing we haven't seen before, but always a sight to behold.

That pic was posted last night, and this morning, Selena posted the photo on the right.

It appears to be a candid shot of an up-and-coming model named Christopher Mason.

Selena didn't caption the pic at all, so it's possible that she just saw his photo elsewhere on the Internet and thought he was really ridiculously good-looking.

Still, the fact that the photos were posted back-to-back makes us wonder if Chris wasn't the one to remove Selena's skimpy two-piece last night.

Are we reading too much into this?

Almost certainly, but if nothing else, it seems to serve as proof that Selena is not back together with Justin Bieber these days, as several media outlets have reported. 

Whether she's hittin' it with Christopher or not, we don't think the Biebs would be cool with Selena posting pics of some dude who could melt him with a single Blue Steel gaze on her IG page.

We know the Biebs has a reputation as a rational, level-headed type, but something tells us this situation might piss him off.
