Rising Star: Selena Gomez

Tweet

Hi, everybody! Well, you know by now I'm totally addicted to those adorable Disney kids. I can't help myself!

I think it's a mixture of my whimsical, creative nature and too much time on my hands. In my defense, we need that sort of thing in this industry. Being an entertainment guru takes relentless dedication! What you call sitting around like a couch potato, I call research.

It's now I learn about the new wave of entertainers and other critical stuff like that. Lately, the buzz is all about Selena Gomez.

The fifteen-year-old played Miley's rival on the Hannah Montana show last year, she currently stars in Wizards of Waverly Place, has a movie coming out in the fall and is planning an album next year.

You've got to give it up to those Disney kids, they're adorable mini-moguls! Selena was, of course, perfectly poised when she talked to Young Hollywood at Todd Goldman Pop Art Gallery opening.

We wanted to know what projects she has in the works, besides the new season of Wizards of Waverly Place, Another Cinderella Story, my movie with Warner Brothers, is coming out in September." I did a couple of songs on the soundtrack, and I'm hopefully going to be working on my album at the end of the year..

And how does she keep in touch with her BFF (and Camp Rock star) Demi Lovato? BBM (blackberry messenger), text, phone calls, ichat, AIM, email...everything. The two also posts vids on YouTube when they get a chance to pal around together.

Fun Facts: Selena was one of the original kids on Barney. She and Demi met at the auditions.

See now, that couch potato research comes in handy after all.
