Selena Gomez Pregnant: Singer Goes After Rumors Of 2012 Pregnancy With Justin Bieber

Selena Gomez was reportedly pregnant in 2012, and after losing her baby with Justin Bieber to miscarriage was sent into a downward spiral that led to a stint in rehab.

Though the rumors picked up steam this week and even garnered a front-page story in one of the biggest gossip magazines, Gomez and her reps vehemently deny that the actress and singer was ever pregnant.

The story of Selena Gomez’s alleged pregnancy came from In Touch, which published a story claiming that Justin Bieber had gotten Selena Gomez pregnant in 2012.

“She wanted that baby. She was convinced it was meant to be and that it was a sign that she and Justin should be together forever,” a source reportedly told the magazine.

Another source allegedly close to Bieber added: “His team felt it would ruin his career because at the time he had a clean image. They thought it would take away from his reputation as a heartthrob if he were walking around with a baby carrier at 18. Or he’d look like a real jerk if he wasn’t involved in bringing up his own child.”

The pregnancy rumor had at least some basis. Selena Gomez had raised eyebrows last year when she cut her Australian tour short, which she said was due to a need to spend time on herself.

Gomez released a statement to fans that read:

My fans are so important to me and I would never want to disappoint them. But it has become clear to me and those close to me that after many years of putting my work first, I need to spend some time on myself in order to be the best person I can be.

But Selena Gomez later made a brief trip to rehab, entering The Meadows in February but leaving after just six days.

Selena Gomez and her team are now going after the pregnancy rumors, saying she was never pregnant and that there was no “downward spiral.”

“She has been working nonstop for six years. She needs to take some time for herself.”

There are more outlets taking on the rumor that Selena Gomez is pregnant. Gossip Cop, a blog dedicated to debunking tabloid reports, deemed the rumor “100 percent false.” The blog went on to point out that In Touch has been known to make up stories about miscarriages, as it did with Khloe Kardashian.

Justin Bieber accused of attempted robbery ... of a cellphone

In this week's episode of Justin Bieber's brush with the law, the pop singer has been accused of attempted robbery, police said.

It sounds worse than it may be: The alleged incident is apparently over a cellphone.

The Los Angeles Police Department didn't offer up too many details.

Police spokeswoman Rosario Herrera said the incident in question took place Monday night. The department didn't receive a complaint until Tuesday, and officers were interviewing the person Tuesday night.

Herrera wouldn't say any more.

CNN affiliate KTLA was able to tease a little bit more out of police.

Officers were called out because Bieber had allegedly tried to take a girl's phone, Sgt. Paul McLaughlin told the affiliate.

The gossip website TMZ said it spoke with a woman who identified herself as the one who filed the complaint:

The woman said Bieber and his crew "got into an altercation with some guys" at a batting cage in Sherman Oaks on Monday night, according to the website.

Bieber saw her reaching for her cell phone, and demanded she hand over her phone so he could delete any photos she may have snapped, TMZ said.

When she refused, he reached into her purse and grabbed it, the woman told the site.

CNN's attempts to reach Bieber's reps or his lawyer were unsuccessful Tuesday night. CNN was also trying to get in touch with the managers of the batting cage where the incident reportedly occurred.

As for Bieber, he was in Oklahoma City taking in a game between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Whirlwind of controversy

The accusation is just the latest incident in what has been a whirlwind year of controversy for the pop star.

There was the DUI arrest in Miami, the assault charge in Toronto, the felony vandalism probe in Los Angeles.

The Federal Aviation Administration also is investigating allegations that Bieber and other passengers onboard a charter flight from Canada to New Jersey's Teterboro Airport interfered with the flight crew, the agency said.

None of the criminal charges facing Bieber, including the expected vandalism count, appear to threaten his freedom. Probation sentences, fines, community service and counseling are routinely given in such cases.
