Young Hollywood

Hey Young Hollywood, we're here with Selena Gomez.

Young Hollywood

So gifting sweets, exciting.

Selena Gomez

It is exciting. You know, I have to say sometimes I do feel guilty though at these things. So what I do is I always try to like get stuff for other people secretly. So I'm like, okay, you know what? I'll feel good about myself if I give it to other people.

Young Hollywood

Well, there's a lot of cool stuff in there. I think there's dog stuff.

Selena Gomez

Oh, perfect. I have four.

Young Hollywood

What's fun in your life right now?

Selena Gomez

I'm working on my album right now and I'm so excited for you guys to hear it because it's a whole different side of me that you haven't really seen.

Young Hollywood

How long have you been writing music?

Selena Gomez

Well, I've been writing ever since about 12, about 11. You know, I just feel like kids are kind of dramatic, so we write things like to a whole other level. It's fun.

Young Hollywood

So what's coming up next with you?

Selena Gomez

Well, my movie with my best friend Demi Lovato comes out. Um, I'm really excited. We're doing a music video for the um, a duet we did together. So we've always wanted to sing on a track since we were seven together. So we finally got to do it.

Young Hollywood

What's the name of the movie that you and Demi are doing?

Selena Gomez

It's called Princess Protection Program.

Young Hollywood

And where did you guys shoot this?

Selena Gomez

We shot it in Puerto Rico. Fun. And now it's like a mini vacation with my best friend and her family. It was awesome.

Young Hollywood

Besties, movies. Fun.

Selena Gomez

I know, it's going to be great. This whole process has been such an adventure, so I'm blessed to kind of have her with me through the whole thing.

Young Hollywood

How did you guys meet?

Selena Gomez

We met in line at Barney. We were um auditioning at this huge event and it was all like it was so hot and it was 1400 kids and we sat right in line together. It was awesome.

Young Hollywood

Did you get that audition?

Selena Gomez

I did. We both got it.

Young Hollywood

We just spoke to Drew Seli and we talked about another Cinderella story and how sweet you are.

Drew Seeley

Vacuum the driveway. This is ridiculous. Yours from Dominique. It was amazing. She's great. She's a lot of fun. You know, it doesn't take herself too seriously. You know, that's the way I am. We're both good balls, so we had a lot of fun on set.

Selena Gomez

Oh, I love him. He's still my favorite co-star that I've ever worked with.

Drew Seeley

I don't know how to drive a stick shift car, which is kind of sad by now, but they had about 20 crew guys trying to push me into frame uh when we had to pull up at Dominique's house. And Selena's laughing for real and that because she was making fun of me for days.

Selena Gomez

I made fun of him so hard. You have no idea. There's been a scene I'm laughing and I'm not faking that laugh at all. I'm laughing at Drew. This is terrible.

Young Hollywood

And he's still not going to learn how to drive a stick shift, you said.

Selena Gomez

No, he's not. He doesn't need to.

Selena Gomez

Hey guys, it's Selena Gomez. I just want to thank you guys so much for supporting me and watching the show and everything that I've been doing. You guys are a blessing.
