"Selena Gomez has insisted that Justin Bieber deserves to win multiple statues at this year&amp;#039;s MTV Video Music Awards. The star said that Bieber - who is nominated for Best New Artist at the ceremony - puts in more effort than many of his fellow musicians.  &amp;quot;I think he&amp;#039;s worked really hard,&amp;quot; she told MTV News.  &amp;quot;I think he works harder than a lot of people I know, so he deserves it.&amp;quot;  She went on to add that she believes Bieber&amp;#039;s success speaks for itself.  &amp;quot;I think [it&amp;#039;s] just the fact that he&amp;#039;s 16 and you&amp;#039;re gonna see him onstage with all these other artists that have been around, like, much longer than he&amp;#039;s been alive,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s gonna be really cool to see him next to these people that have been idols and icons in the music world.&amp;quot; The 27th annual MTV Video Music Awards will air September 12 on MTV.
