Selena Gomez receives death threats from Justin Bieber fans
Selena Gomez has been verbally attacked by angry Justin Bieber fans on Twitter.
According to WENN, the Wizards of Waverly Place star was the subject of a number of furious tweets from the 'Baby' singer's followers after she was photographed straddling Bieber.
"Dear Selena Gomez. I hate you more than life. Go jump off a cliff. K? (sic)," wrote one Bieber fan.
Another openly threatened Gomez: "Stay away from Justin pedophile. I'm gonna kill ya in the night underneath your smelly bed."
Gomez and Bieber have never officially confirmed that they are dating, though rumours have circled the alleged couple since March.
The two were recently filmed kissing at a press conference in Indonesia. They also shared a kiss after Bieber won the prize for 'Top New Artist' at the Billboard Music Awards last Sunday.
Gomez and Bieber are currently on vacation in Hawaii.
Meanwhile Bieber has agreed a merchandising deal with Kate Middleton's parents.
The move grants Michael Middleton and wife Carole the rights to sell party accessories featuring the Canadian popstar's likeness via their website Party Pieces.
"We've got Bieber Fever! Teenage girls around the world go crazy for the Bieber," the site states. "The popstar now has his very own party-ware."
Bieber items include an Ultimate Party Kit of tableware, banner and balloons, priced at £20.89, as well as plates, cups, napkins and rosettes bearing the singer's photo.
The Middletons, who became millionaires through the business, run the website from a warehouse near their £1 million home in Bucklebury, Berks. Kate was employed by the firm prior to her marriage to Prince William, while sister Pippa still works there part-time.
