Rumor has it, Justin Bieber is no longer seeing Selena Gomez. According to E! News, the couple parted ways a week ago. "Because of their crazy schedules, it was getting harder and harder to maintain a relationship," a source explained the reason of their split.

Speculation that the pair is no longer together started when Justin posted an Instagram picture of him alone with the caption "*Lingse*", which was interpreted as "Single". Selena was then spotted cuddling up with Jake T. Austin in a photo taken from "Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie" movie set at the end of October.

Justin and Selena first confirmed their romance on February 27, 2011 when they attended Vanity Fair Oscar Party together. Expressing her feelings a few months later, she said, "I am happy. I'm really happy."

In a recent interview with Oprah Winfrey, Justin also opened up how he treated the "Who Says" singer. "I never make her separate from me [because] I don't ever want her to feel like I'm ashamed of her," he shared during the chat that will air as a part of a November 25 episode of "Oprah's Next Chapter".

Robert Pattinson Clubbing With Justin Bieber and Katy Perry

Robert Pattinson partied with Katy Perry along with Justin Bieber to celebrate the release of her documentary movie "Katy Perry: Part of Me". The threesome spent the Tuesday June 26 night at the Bootsy Bellows lounge in West Hollywood, which is co-owned by David Arquette.

They were joined by Selena Gomez. The group packed inside Bieber's $200,000 Mercedes Benz minivan. The Canadian star and his girlfriend still wore the same outfit they donned when coming to the movie premiere earlier in the day at the Grauman's Chinese Theatre.

Gomez rocked a flirty pink mini frock with feathered accents and a pair of Jimmy Choo sandals. Bieber matched her appearance by donning a pink jacket on top of his black t-shirt. Perry traded her red Dolce & Gabbana dress with a black Vivienne Westwood attire and Christian Louboutin shoes. Pattinson opted for casual jeans and jacket.

"Justin and Selena shared a table with friends," a source told JustJared about the after-party. "They were very affectionate the whole night, holding hands and sharing kisses." Gomez, 19, and Bieber, 18, are still underage for drinking in the U.S.

"Katy and Amber Heard, and Shannon Woodward, spent a good portion of the night sitting and chatting with them. Everyone was laughing and having a great time, taking pictures with each other and snacking on mini-cupcakes," the insider continued.

The day reportedly happened to be the opening of the club named after Arquette's burlesque dancer mother. Ashley Benson, Queen Latifah, Carly Rae Jepsen and Zelda Williams were also in the house. Emma Roberts, Chord Overstreet and Alex Pettyfer were guests as well, but they reportedly partied separately.

Justin Bieber and Rebecca Black Rule Google's 2011 Top Search Lists

One more look-back at the past twelve months before the 2011 curtain is pulled down is revealed. This time around, it's provided by Google in a form of "Zeitgeist" lists which see two young music stars Justin Bieber and Rebecca Black, who both claimed their fame through YouTube, ruling two of the top-10 compilations.

Showing the most-searched terms typed by people from around the world, the list puts Bieber as the most popular person this year. The 17-year-old singer beats Kim Kardashian, Lady GaGa and Nicki Minaj who are ranked second, third and fourth respectively on the "Most-Searched People" list.

The Canadian singer undoubtedly comes out on top due to the buzzing news of his new albums, "Under the Mistletoe" and "Believe", his then-ongoing tour, and his baby drama with Mariah Yeater. Even some of the mundane news about him being out and about also seemed to attract online readers.

Bieber's girlfriend, Selena Gomez, claims the sixth place behind Casey Anthony. Throughout the year, she repeatedly appeared on the front page of Google due to the release of her album "When the Sun Goes Down", her tour, and health scare. Her relationship with the "Baby" hitmaker and her hosting gigs at some major events also got wide coverage on the web.

Elsewhere on the "Fastest Rising People" list, Black shines brighter than everyone else, but it might be for the wrong reasons. Her "Friday" music video which went viral in late 2010 but continued to become a target of mockery in the following months, and her next singles which flopped, might have put her on the first position. She beats "American Idol" winner Scotty McCreery and teen bride Courtney Stodden on the list.

Most Searched People:

1. Justin Bieber
2. Kim Kardashian
3. Lady GaGa
4. Nicki Minaj
5. Casey Anthony
6. Selena Gomez
7. Charlie Sheen
8. Steve Jobs
9. Amy Winehouse
10. Ryan Dunn

Fastest Rising People:

1. Rebecca Black
