The pint-sized pop star grinned at Chelsea Handler and told her she looked beautiful when asked about the nature of his relationship with singer Selena Gomez.
He even turned the tables on Handler and mentioned her rumoured romance with rapper 50 Cent to avoid having to succumb to her probing comments.
“You’re really young and you work all the time, so when do you have regular time to, you know, look at pictures of me?” Handler jokingly asked.
“I do that all the time – the ones with you and 50 and stuff,” Bieber grinned.
“Touché girl, touché,” the chat show host smirked.
Bieber, 16, had given 35-year-old Handler a lingering kiss on the cheek when he arrived in her studio.
