Selena Gomez recalls starstruck meeting with Brad Pitt

Selena Gomez apparently had a really, really good weekend. She performed her new single, "Come & Get It," at the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday, and got to meet Brad Pitt when she was there, too.

While visiting "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," the 20-year-old revealed just how starstruck she was during her encounter with Pitt.

"I was in my dressing room, and I had just finished performing," Gomez told host Ellen DeGeneres during the interview, airing Tuesday. "And they knocked on my door, and they said Brad Pitt would like to come in. And I was like, 'Well, he can come in!'"

"I was trying to play it cool and be really nice," she added, but then admitted, "As soon as he walked out I ran and I hide under the craft service table for like two minutes because I couldn't believe it was happening."

Pitt had stopped by to ask to take a photo with her for his kids, who are apparently fans of her show "Wizards of Waverly Place."

DeGeneres also inquired about Gomez's love life following her split from Justin Bieber. When asked what she's looking for in a guy, the actress/singer replied: "I don't know. Someone that can make me laugh."
