Pop sensation JUSTIN BIEBER has dismissed reports he’s fallen out with rapper KANYE WEST and snubbed an invitation to record a track for his upcoming collaboration album with JAY-Z.
Reports surfaced earlier this week (begs13Jun11) claiming Bieber, 17, had no interest in teaming up with the controversial Stronger hitmaker to record a song for his forthcoming Watch The Throne project, for fear of damaging his clean-cut reputation.
A source told HollywoodLife.com, "Justin likes Kanye’s music, but he’s worried he’s done too many controversial things and it would hurt his image. Between the sex scandals, political gaffes and interrupting Taylor Swift (at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards), Kanye is known as a genius but a big risk to associate with!" But a baffled Bieber has shot down the claims and insists he has no problems with West, having previously given the hip-hop star the thumbs up for his work on the remix of the singer’s track Runaway Love.
Taking to Twitter.com to clear up the reports, the Baby singer writes, "Some rumors…i just dont know where they come from… Me and @kanyewest (sic) are good. This right here is just FALSE."

CHRISTINA AGUILERA ditched her usual entourage during the filming of 2010 movie musical BURLESQUE and she is convinced going it alone helped her grow up.
The singer found fame as a teenager with her debut single Genie In A Bottle in 1999 and spent years surrounded by a team of ever-present assistants.
Aguilera, who split from husband Jordan Bratman last year (10), left her entourage behind for the first time when she filmed the saucy movie with Cher - and she felt liberated after the shoot wrapped.
She tells America’s W magazine, "During production, I was going through a lot of self-discovery. As a quote-unquote pop star, you have your entourage with you at all times. When you enter and leave a place, backstage, even at home - you always have your team.
"On the movie set, I didn’t have anyone around me. And it felt good. When I first met my husband, I needed that ­helping hand to take the reins and look after me. After the movie, I grew out of being that little girl; I became more of an adult."

Rocker AXL ROSE has settled a legal battle with former GUNS N’ ROSES manager IRVING AZOFF over breach of contract allegations.
Azoff sued the Guns N’ Roses frontman in March, 2010, accusing the singer of reneging on an agreement to hand him a slice of profits from a big money concert tour.
Rose hit back with a countersuit, alleging Azoff attempted to sabotage his career after he refused to reunite with the band’s original members, including Slash and Duff McKagan. He demanded more than $5 million (£3.13 million) in damages for breach of fiduciary duty, constructive fraud and breach of contract.
But the two warring parties have now reached a deal to prevent the case from going to trial.
Attorneys for both sides appeared in Los Angeles Superior Court on Tuesday (14Jun11) to inform a judge of the settlement, with Azoff’s lawyer, Howard King, stating, "They (lawsuits) were settled to the mutual satisfaction of the parties." The terms of the agreement have not been revealed, although legal papers filed by Rose’s lawyers state that the deal would involve "a comprehensive touring agreement, in which Guns ‘N Roses would perform at various… venues".

Actor RYAN O’NEAL refuses to accept his relationship with his daughter TATUM fell apart because he abandoned her to start a romance with FARRAH FAWCETT - because he feels she disowned her dad.
The once-estranged father and daughter have attempted to work through their problems for a new reality TV show, Ryan & Tatum: The O’Neals, which begins later this month (Jun11), but both still have opposing viewpoints on why their relationship went bad.
Tatum insists she felt abandoned when her dad went to live with Fawcett, while the movie veteran claims his daughter wanted nothing to do with him.
He says, "From Tatum’s standpoint, I had lost interest in my family and I had found a new interest in my life, and that appalled her. So she fled.
"I never would have imagined, I just adored her, that she’d leave me." And in an emotionally-charged interview with U.S. news show Entertainment Tonight, O’Neal admits he would have given up Fawcett if he knew that the romance would lead to a lengthy estrangement with his daughter.
Asked if he would have chosen Tatum over Farrah, the actor says, "That’s not a fair question, that’s a terrible question - but I would." By the time he realised his daughter no longer wanted anything to do with him, it was too late: "I didn’t know where she was, I wish I did."
