Justin Bieber is ready to buy a house.

The 16-year-old Canadian singing sensation lives with his mother Patti and grandparents when he isn’t working but is now ready to find a home of his own in Los Angeles.

His representative confirmed to RadarOnline.com: “Justin is looking for a house. But nothing has been purchased as of right now.”

Though the “Baby” hitmaker – who is worth an estimated $100 million – hasn’t made a bid for anything yet, he is said to have his eye on a $1.7-million apartment in Westwood, Los Angeles.

The upmarket property boasts four bedrooms and three bathrooms and is 2,400 sq. ft.

The building housing the apartment boasts a “party” room, as well as an indoor heated swimming pool and spa.

Meanwhile, Justin – who is rumored to be dating Selena Gomez – has thanked fans after he was nominated for two accolades at the forthcoming Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards.

The singer – who is in the running for Favorite Male Singer and Favorite Song for “Baby” – said: “My life was changed by fans and by kids like me clicking on my videos and letting me chase a dream. Once again those same kids are there and I am forever grateful. I’m excited and honored to be nominated for two Kids’ Choice Awards. I hope this encourages other kids to chase their dreams as well.”

Voting for the awards opens on March 7, with the winners revealed on April 2.

Justin praises father figure Will Smith
Bieber says Will Smith has become a father figure to him.

The teen singing sensation, whose debut movie “Never Say Never’ premiered in Los Angeles last night (08.02.11), has revealed he looks up to the Hollywood superstar and his family – wife Jada Pinkett Smith and children Trey,

Jaden and Willow – as they have all given him lots of useful advice.

He said: “The Smith family has been really amazing to me and really supportive in everything I’m doing. The family are just really nice and they are really good people.”

“Will’s definitely looking at different scripts for me and trying to develop stuff.”

However, he admitted the pair is yet to commit to an official project together, saying: “No, not at the moment. We’re just kind of looking at stuff.”

While Justin is an admirer of Will, the “Baby” hitmaker has a lot of fans of his own and they came out in their thousands to see their idol at the premiere last night.

Speaking about the hysterical scenes, dubbed “Bieber Fever,” Justin said: “Bieber Fever” is everything. It’s everything.

“I think it’s my fans being really supportive. They made it up. At the end of the day, my fans are my everything, and they got me to this position.” (msn.com)
