Selena Gomez meets long-time crush

Should Justin Bieber be worried? His girlfriend Selena Gomez was star-struck after meeting Shia LaBeouf in person recently.

Gomez posted a video on YouTube last night with an accompanying message that reads: "Best...Day...Ever."

The video showed her being tricked into meeting her long-time celebrity crush Shia LaBeouf backstage at a television studio. Her handlers told her she was about to meet her fans in a dressing room when the occupant turned out to be none other than the Transformers star.

Gomez, 18, went "Oh my gosh" and her first reaction was to turn around and rush out of the room.

A very sweet LaBeouf actually ran after her and said, "Hey, nice to meet you... Hey, how are you? How you doin'? Thanks for being so sweet to me. You're really sweet to me."

Blushing like a schoolgirl, Gomez sheepishly told the actor, "I admire you."

LaBeouf then held the teenager close to him as they posed for a few photos before parting ways.

Gomez was still trying to regain her composure after she's back in her room. Dramatically fanning herself, she said weakly to her mum: "He's so cute... He's so handsome."

"I am so embarrassed. I walked right out," she added.

LaBeouf's publicist, Melissa Kates, later popped in and told Gomes not to be embarrassed by her reaction. "That's actually nice and refreshing to see somebody that genuin. Trust me, he likes it," she said.

Gomez has always made known of her crush on LaBeouf. Two years ago, before she became Bieber's girlfriend, she even shouted to reporters on a red carpet, "Let Shia know I'm available!"

Both are Disney alumni and Gomez once said that she wished to have a career like LaBeouf's.

So is there any chance between the duo? Well, like what Gomez's beau said: Never say never!
