Good looking?Justin Bieber on the cover of the February issue of Vanity Fair

His dedicated female fans sent death threats to Selena Gomez after she was spotted kissing Justin Bieber.

So it would be no surprise if the attention had perhaps gone to the young star's head.

'Not trying to be arrogant', he said. 'But if I walked down the street and a girl saw me, she might take a look back because maybe I'm good-looking, right?

The teen singing sensation fronts the February issue of Vanity Fair, and is pictured covered in lipstick kisses.

In the accompanying article he admits that he sometimes feels the pressure of fame.
'Just the way my brain works. I'm not normal.

'I think differently. my mind is always racing. I'm just… nuts. But I think the best [musicians] probably are.'

The 16-year-old tells the magazine his mind is so active that he sometimes suffers from insomnia.

'I think about all the things I didn't have time to think about during the day- like family and God and things that should be more important...'

Who were Justin's favourite musicians growing up? 'I’m definitely influenced by Michael Jackson and Boyz II Men'

Justin also talked about the challenges of trying to be a regular teenager.

'It's hard to really balance myself. A regular kid, if he catches the flu, he just gets to go home. But I can't do that.

'Everything is important. But, you know, my sanity is important, too. Even if I'm angry, I'll just put a smile on my face and fake it.'

The superstar singer took to Twitter this morning to let his fans know about the interview: 'COVER IS OUT and a Behind the Scenes Video. Most intense interview i
ever did. here's the @vanityfairmag cover & more.'

There is no mention of Justin's friendship with Selena Gomez in the interview

As for his musical influences, forget the Beatles or the Rolling Stones.
Justin prefers black American musicians.

'I’m definitely influenced by Michael Jackson and Boyz II Men and people who were black artists—that’s what I like.'

There is no mention in the story of Selena Gomez.

Yesterday the Disney star received a string of death threats after she was pictured kissing Bieber while holidaying on the Caribbean island of St. Lucia.

The young stars have been coy about rumours of romance for several months, however the new pictures, which have surfaced online, seem to have confirmed their
secret relationship.

Justin's fans, who are popularly known as 'Beliebers', posted several hostile messages to the 18-year-old Wizards of Waverly Place star on Twitter.

One message read: 'Roses are red, violets are blue, @selenagomez if you'll break @justinbieber's heart I'm gonna kill you'.

Macca joins the Beach Boys: Sir Paul and Nancy Shevell relax in island paradise

I want to hold your hand: Sir Paul McCartney and Nancy Shevell stroll down the beach in Anguilla during their New Year holiday

For a former Beatle on the beach, this was clearly a good day. And there was plenty of sunshine.

To escape our winter, Sir Paul McCartney and his girlfriend, American heiress Nancy Shevell, 50, have been enjoying a New Year break on the exclusive Caribbean island of Anguilla.

The pair, who have been together for more than three years, appeared blissfully happy as they walked hand-in-hand along the beach. Sir Paul - dressed in checked beach shorts - also spent time playing American football with other holidaymakers.

Arm in arm: Despite the obvious affection between the couple, aides have stressed that are not engaged and marriage is not on the cards

Miss Shevell – wearing a floral summer dress – and McCartney have been spending increasing amounts of time together in recent months.

Indeed, she recently brought her father Myron ‘Mike’ Shevell, 74 - a widowed multi-millionaire industrialist - to London to meet the music legend.

The former Beatle continues to live in England – splitting his time between his London and East Sussex homes – while Miss Shevell still resides in the U.S.

Nevertheless, she and McCartney – who has vowed to stay close to daughter Beatrice, seven - regularly travel across the world to spend time together.

A friend of the star told the Mail recently: ‘They're really happy together. They’re very well matched. They criss-cross the Atlantic to see each other, with Nancy flying over a lot.’

The pair first met in the Hamptons, where Macca has a house. And there have long been rumours the pair were close to announcing their engagement.

However, aides have been at pains to insist the star and Miss Shevell - herself a divorcee - are not engaged.

Carefree: The couple have been dating for three years and have spent more time together in recent months than previously, despite Sir Paul's jet-setting lifestyle

‘They get on so well – but marriage isn’t an issue to them at the moment,’ the friend told the Mail.

Macca’s first wife Linda - who he wed in 1969 - died from breast cancer in 1998.

He then married model and charity campaigner Heather Mills in 2002 before their acrimonious divorce in 2006 in which she received a settlement of £24.3million.

Before marrying Linda, he also had a short-lived engagement with actress Jane Asher.

He had been dating Miss Asher since 1963 before they became engaged in December 1967. However, the relationship ended less than a year later.
