Justin Bieber New Year's 2011: Tweets Fans and More Gomez Gossip Read more at Suite101: Justin Bieber New Year's 2011: Tweets Fans and More Gomez Gossip

 Justin Bieber began the New Year with a Jan. 1 2011 tweet to his fans expressing his gratitude while on the same day there were more celebrity sites that printed unsubstantiated rumors about the young Canadian singer and actor/singer Selena Gomez.

Bieber appears to pay no attention to rumors and the 16-year-old was so busy during 2010 he likely didn't have time to. It was a massive year for him as among other things he recorded and released songs, albums and videos, toured the world and won awards including American Music Awards, MTV Video Music Awards, MTV Europe awards and Teen Choice awards.

He was on TV talk shows including the Ellen Degeneres Show, The Oprah Winfrey Show and a Barbara Walters special. There were Bieber products in 2010 like perfume, dolls and pajamas and he made his acting debut on CSI: Las Vegas. Bieber wrote and published a book and filmed a documentary, Justin Bieber: Never Say Never, due out on Valentine's Day 2011.

Justin Bieber Tells Fans He Won't Change

Bieber celebrated the holidays in Canada with his family but on New Years Eve connected with fans via Twitter. "So my #newyearsresolution is to continue to give back for my blessings and do more than the year before. i wanna #makeachange. i want to make #newmusic and share it with all of u.
"So I just also want to say thank you to all of you for this past year.

I love all of you and Im still the kid from Stratford and Im never changin! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. #MUCHLOVE #MANYTHANKS #HAPPYNEWYEAR – #LETSPARTY!"

Celebrity Sites Print Gossip about Selena Gomez

Meanwhile online celebrity sites were writing stories claiming he and Selena Gomez were going out and she spent New Year's Eve with him in Canada without naming their sources. Some sites even reported he bought her a diamond bracelet for Christmas but did not say how they found that out. At best sites claimed they got their information from either 'a source' or 'an insider

The last public sighting of the two was in Miami Beach on Dec. 18 when they were photographed walking together during the day of a Bieber concert. Any other claims from celebrity sites looking to draw fans to their websites have to be treated with skepticism unless they name their sources.
So are Bieber and Gomez going out or is it all a fiction? There is no way of knowing but with his film coming out, the Grammy Awards soon and a tour of Europe and then Australia starting in the Spring, it's not likely Justin Bieber himself will have time to worry about rumors in 2011, either.
