Justin Bieber loves his Beliebers, but sometimes fangirls can be a bit much.

One overzealous teenage fan grabbed onto the 18-year-old pop star Wednesday in London, forcefully planting a kiss on his cheek. And while homegirl was smiling and wearing a purple bow in her hair (Justin's favorite color!), the Biebs looked uncomfortable and a little bit frightened by the uninvited, one-way PDA.

And while J.B. is happy to greet his legions of admirers (at arm's length), he recently told Ryan Seacrest on Rock Center  that he doesn't "want to be another teen heartthrob…"

He added the "teen heartthrob" label "just annoys me."

"To think that's what people will think of me—I just want to prove people wrong," he said.

What he really wants is a Grammy. "That something that I've always—when I was little, like, 'Oh, my God, like what if I won a Grammy? That would be crazy,'" he recalls. "So that's one of the things that I'm still striving for."

We have a feeling he'll reach that goal many times over during his career.
