While she just hit a milestone of adulthood, the newly minted 21-year-old was left speechless when asked about her former lover.
Selena Gomez took a break from her birthday festivities on Monday to chat with entertainment reporter Dean Richards via satellite.
But the former teen idol was clearly blind sided by a series of probing questions regarding her on-off flame Justin Bieber.

No comment: Selena Gomez engaged in an awkward interview with WGN Entertainment Critic Dean Richards, on Monday
The on air chat was for Chicago's WGN Entertainment network as their resident showbiz critic queried the one-time Disney star about her troubled friend.
Richards, said: 'You're, you know, probably as close a friend to Justin Bieber as they come.
'Is there something about him that we don't get or we don't understand?

'I mean, there is one story after another of, you know, pretty outrageous behaviour that we're reading about.'
The line inquiry was in reference to Bieber's recent act of public urination as he defaced a portrait of erstwhile President Bill Clinton, as well as allegedly threatening his neighbours, and various other displays of delinquent behaviour.
As Richards asked the penetrating questions, Selena was clearly at a loss for words and unprepared for the direction of the interview.
The pop singer looked around in bewilderment as she was most likely expecting a predictable session of softball questioning.

But Richards - a fearless interviewer - persisted, asking: 'What don't we get about him or what is it that he's not getting out there?'
But he was ultimately left unsatisfied as Selena merely smiled uncomfortably and abruptly ended the interview by closing the line.
Despite the childish response, Richards softly chuckled to himself as he realized he had just been hung up on.
But just the day prior Selena seemed to be in a much more candid mood as she answered similarly difficult questions when interviewed by Ryan Seacrest on E! News.

When asked if she was dating Bieber again, she said: 'No, I'm not. I think I'm okay with being content right now. I think that's what I'm happy with. And then whatever happens happens.'
However she did admit she found it difficult to deal with the pressure their relationship was under from outside forces.
Selena said: 'Yeah. I'm sure you could actually see those pictures of me being way stressed about it.

'And its hard because what do you do, do you sit in your house and hide and not go anywhere.
'I was 18 when we started to date and you just have to be an 18-year-old and go through everything.'
And considering she used to date Bieber, some will be shocked to find out her most desired attributes in a man.
The Wizards of Waverly Place star said: 'Honestly: egos turn me off big time. And I mean its hard to date in this industry. It really is.'
