Justin bieber is not having a fling
Adriana Lima has dismissed rumours she once had a fling with pop star Justin Bieber, explaining that at 5ft 9in he's too short to be a contender.
The blue-eyed Victoria's Secret model, 34, revealed the truth behind last year's whispers of a hook-up with the 21-year-old while on Watch What Happens Live on Thursday.
The 5ft 10in brunette was previously married to former Serbian basketball player, Marko Jarić, 6ft 7in, before their split in May of last year.

Clearing the air: Adriana Lima was grilled about Justin Bieber during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live on Thursday
Good times: Host Andy Cohen, 47, Adriana and fellow guest Padma Lakshmi, 45, shared a laugh on set
'Oh my gosh, no!': The 5fit 10in model firmly denied hooking up with the singer
Adriana, dressed in head-to-toe jeweled tones, was put in the hot seat by show host Andy Cohen on Thursday.
'I read somewhere that you and Justin Bieber hung out. Did you two ever date?' he asked.
'Where did you read that?' the model, with a disgusted look on her face, quickly shot back.
Andy attempted an explanation while Adriana kept pressing for answers. 'Where? Where?'
'I read it a year ago. It was kind of buzzing about,' he replied.
'Oh my gosh, No. No,' she said firmly while rolling her eyes.
Pointing out the obvious: During the questioning, Padma cut in; 'You would tower over him, would you?'
Squashing it: Adriana firmly put rumours to rest. 'Let me tell, you, OK I'm gonna tell you this. Anybody below 6'7, you know how I call them? Friends'
Fellow guest Padma Lakshmi, 45, cut in. 'You would tower over him, wouldn't you?'
The Brazilian supermodel, obviously puzzled, questioned the meaning of the term to which the Top Chef host quickly clarified.
Adriana firmly put rumours to rest. 'Let me tell, you, OK I'm gonna tell you this. Anybody below 6'7, you know how I call them? Friends.'
Did they or didn't they? Justin Bieber posted a cosy selfie of the pair in May last year
In may of last year, the same month as Adriana announced her marriage breakup, Us Weekly reported that the model hooked up with Justin while at a 1 Oak party at the Cannes Film Festival.
'Justin pursued her hard. They were talking nonstop. They went home together around 5 a.m.,' a source allegedly revealed to the site.
Adding fuel to the rumours was an Instagram snap of the two, shared by the What Do You Mean? pop star. 'I think she foreign, I think she foreign,' he wrote.
Asian adventure: Justin, hot off his Billboard number one debut for his album, Purpose, visited Japan on Friday
Signature style: The singer double-layered two oversize shirts; one with an army print, the other a solid white.

The oldest bully ever
Alan Knibbs, 57, allegedly sent threatening emails to members of staff at Honywood School in Coggeshall, Essex, branding them paedophiles and accusing them of covering-up the abuse.
Headmaster Simon Mason, one of Knibbs' victims, said the father had threatened to visit teachers at home and said he believed the stress contributed to some resigning
He said: 'This person used aggressive, offensive and threatening language from the earliest days during which we tried to build a working relationship with him.
'It quickly became clear he had no interest in building a relationship with us - he seemed to thrive on gathering power over others, revelling in the conflict he created.
'Bullies in whatever shape should never be allowed to intimidate anyone into any course of actions. Through standing up to them, not only do you put them in their place but you grow stronger too.
Mr Mason said the father's behaviour had triggered at least two Ofsted inspections, 'either of which could have resulted in me losing my job'.
Magistrates issued a five-year restraining order against Knibbs limiting his him contact with staff to issues regarding his child's education, or to mutually agreed meetings with the headmaster.
Claims: Mr Mason outlined Knibbs' harassment in this newsletter sent home to parents of the school
Knibbs was also banned from entering school premises and from publishing anything which could amount to the harassment of any past or present school staff or governors.
Afterwards, Knibbs dismissed Mr Mason's comments as 'exaggerated'.
He said:'I'm quite happy for him to say whatever he likes because I'm going to be following this up with a private prosecution. I will be dealing with it through the courts.'
Knibbs was ordered to pay £700 prosecution costs, £160 fine and a £20 victim surcharge.

Another Trumpy Action
Donald
Trump imitated Times reporter Serge Kovaleski, who is disabled
Presidential
candidate flailed his arms around his head and put on a voice
Kovaleski
has chronic condition that affects his ability to move his arms
Pulitzer
Prize-winning journalist wrote an article in 2001 that said police questioned a
number of people allegedly celebrating 9/11 attacks
Trump
has said he saw 'thousands of people' celebrating in New Jersey
Trump's claims were debunked, he said he had based his statements on an article Kovaleski wrote fourteen years ago for the Washington Post.
However, Kovaleski said that he wrote reports of 'a number of people...allegedly' celebrating in New Jersey, but that he never actually saw these revelers and that he has no idea where Trump got the number in the thousands.
Instead of admitting he had gotten the statement wrong, Trump went on the offensive against Kovaleski on Wednesday, mocking the reporter's physical condition that impacts his ability to move his arms.
In a campaign stop in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Trump laid into the journalist, doing an impression that saw him flail his arms while putting on a strange voice.
Before the distasteful imitation, Trump said the story was 'written by a nice reporter'.
But he continued: 'Now the poor guy, you gotta see this guy: "Uh, I don’t know what I said. I don’t remember." He’s going, "I don’t remember. Maybe that’s what I said."'
Kovaleski, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who now works for the New York Times, was born with arthrogryposis.
The condition can cause sufferers' joints to get stuck in one position and can also see people born with weaker or missing muscles.
When Trump started to receive backlash for the imitation, his spokesman refused to issue a comment to the Washington Post.
But sources in the campaign, speaking on anonymity, told the Post that Trump was 'not aware of any condition and was not mocking his physical appearance in any way.'
Kovaleski, who covered Trump when he worked for the New York Daily News in the late 80s and early 90s, said he's certain the candidate remembers him and his condition.
'The sad part about it is, it didn’t in the slightest bit jar or surprise me that Donald Trump would do something this low-rent, given his track record,' Kovaleski told the Post .
A spokeswoman for the Times said: 'We think it's outrageous that he would ridicule the appearance of one of our reporters.'
Kovaleski's colleagues at other publications also jumped to his defense.
ESPN reporter Don Van Natta JR tweeted that Kovaleski 'is one of the best reporters - and best people- that I know' and called Trump's impression 'despicable'.
'The measure of men. Know this: Serge Kovaleski...is a journalistic rock star and one great colleague,' Times reporter Dan Barry tweeted.
A petition calling on the Republican front-runner to apologize has also been circulating online.
That prospect looks somewhat unlikely, however, with Trump taking to Twitter to blast the New York Times for taking 'constant hits' at him in what was a thinly veiled swipe at their response to his impression.
He wrote: 'The failing @nytimes should be focused on good reporting and the papers financial survival and not with constant hits on Donald Trump!'
Unreliable source: Trump tweeted an array of articles he claims support his view, including one by conspiracy theory website Infowars
Trump took to Twitter to blast the New York Times for taking 'constant hits' at him in what was a thinly-veiled swipe at their response to his impression
Trump also tweeted an array of articles he claims support his view that there were thousands of Arabs celebrating the September 11 attacks in New Jersey.
Kovaleski, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who now works for the New York Times, was born with arthrogryposis, which affects the movement of his arms
However among these was a link to conspiracy theory website Infowars, which is run by Alex Jones - known for his bizarre statements on 9/11 and the moon landings.
The person who wrote the article claims they saw 'a pocket' of people in 'traditional Muslim garb dancing, jumping, shouting and celebrating like their team had won the Super Bowl, just as Trump said'.
There is no evidence to substantiate the claim.
Back in 2001, a week after the attacks, Kovaleski wrote: 'Law enforcement authorities detained and questioned a number of people who were allegedly seen celebrating the attacks and holding tailgate-style parties on rooftops while they watched the devastation on the other side of the river.'
He told CNN this week: 'I do not recall anyone saying there were thousands, or even hundreds, of people celebrating.'
Trump said last week during a campaign stop in Birmingham, Alabama, that he saw 'thousands of people cheering' as the World Trade Center collapsed.
He repeated his claims on ABC on Sunday, saying: 'There were people that were cheering on the other side of New Jersey, where you have large Arab populations. They were cheering as the World Trade Center came down.'

After DeGeneres pressed her on the matter Jenner said: 'We just honestly. We became best friends before anything happened so I think that, that's awesome and we're just like. I don’t know. Hanging out. Living life.'
The teen star talked as pictures of the loved-up couple flashed on a screen behind her.
'What does that mean, hanging out?' DeGeneres probed.
'That's it.' Jenner replied coyly before the host pressed for more confirmation, asking 'You're still together?

Reconciliation: Kylie and Tyga reportedly split very briefly last week just before his 26th birthday
Jenner replied: 'We're still together.'
The comedienne then inquired about the TV star's sleek $320k Ferrari which Tyga presented her with on her 18th birthday in August.
'Didn't he buy you a car or something?' the 57-year-old star asked.
'I know, I drove it here' Jenner replied while smiling.
'Well I mean stay with him, he bought you a car' DeGeneres joked before Kylie concurred: 'I know'
The couple split briefly just before the rapper's 26th birthday last week when it was reported that the teen was upset at 'something Tyga did'.

But within a matter of days Kylie quashed break-up rumours by sharing a Snapchat while sitting beside the Rack City hit maker with the caption 'Everyone needs to chill'.
The duo were then spotted holding hands at Scooter Braun's after party for the American Music Awards on Sunday.
This week Jenner made-up for lost time and celebrated Tyga's birthday with a belated get-together and cake.
'Happy Birthday...' Kylie can be heard singing in a Snapchat, as the camera lingers on a small, white cake decorated in beautiful script that reads: 'Happy Birthday Tyga.'
