A video posted by celebrity gossip website TMZ reportedly shows how Bieber shouts out “What’s up, bitch?” at Bloom, spurring the English actor to lunge at the 20 year old but not connecting the hit.

Spanish newspaper ABC also claimed other big names such as Paris Hilton were present at Ibiza’s Cipriani restaurant.

The daily added that the entire restaurant erupted in applause after Justin fled the scene.

The UK’s Mirror newspaper quoted witnesses as saying: “Within seconds people intervened. There was some minor pushing and shoving between their entourages. They were eventually separated and Justin, who was being cordial, stayed for a while longer outside the restaurant without incident.”

The British tabloid and other new sources such as the New York Daily News have also reported there may have been some previous ‘beef’ between Bieber and Bloom caused by the pop star’s close friendship with the British heartthrob’s ex Miranda Kerr.
