According to perezhilton.com, The Wizards of Waverly Place star recently returned from a trip to Ghana, where she was visiting the West African country as part of her duty as an ambassador for UNICEF. Gomez is the youngest-ever agent in the foundations history.
“I got to meet teens, I got to meet children, I got to meet families… It was completely life-changing and eye-opening,” said Gomez on her travels.
At andPOP we don’t generally skew too much into the kid market, but these girls are so huge we couldn’t ignore it. We recently spoke with Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato on the red carpet for the Princess Protection Program. We also convinced a bunch of teen girls that Jordan is Nick Jonas’ stunt double, but that’s a conversation for another time.
Christina Applegate graces the cover of this year’s “People’s Most Beautiful” issue, but many teen idols are featured in the magazine as well.
“Twilight’s” Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have both made People’s annual 100 Most Beautiful List. “I don’t get it. It’s funny, you look the same for years, and no one ever mentions it. Then suddenly it’s a big deal,” Pattinson tells People.
Other young stars such as “Gossip Girl’s” Taylor Momsen, brothers Nick and Joe Jonas and “17 Again” star Zac Efron have also made the list.
Efron revealed to People his secret to staying fit. “Backpacking, hiking, surfing, swimming, playing tennis — things that get you active and are also fun.”
Back in the day, the word “Disney” brought thoughts of fairy godmothers, evil stepsisters and happily ever afters into our minds. The Disney stars that most of us looked up to were Cinderella, Pocahontas and, of course, Mickey Mouse (although now I’m not sure why).
But nowadays, all that has changed. When most children and teenagers hear the word “Disney,” they tend to think of the famous actors whose careers were launched on the television network, the Disney Channel.
Due to shows like ‘Hannah Montana’ or the Disney Channel Original Movie ‘High School Musical,’ it is now virtually impossible to ignore any gossip associated with Disney’s princess Miley Cyrus or Brangelina wannabes Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens.
With plenty of shame, I will admit that even I watch some of these shows on a somewhat regular basis (I fully blame my boyfriend’s younger nieces for my sudden semi-addiction to shows like ‘Wizards of Waverly Place’ and ‘Sonny With a Chance’).
And the casting of teenage Carrie Bradshaw begins.
According to E! News, Since HarperCollins announced that ‘Sex and the City’ author Candace Bushnell has signed a deal to write two novels focusing on Bradshaw’s high school years, rumours are starting that a television or movie adaptation are soon to follow.
But if the book series does move to the little (or big) screen, will Selena Gomez play the young Bradshaw?
Not quite.
“That’s not really the audience I’m going for,” Gomez, 16, tells E! News. “I mean, my mom loves the show and it’s a very popular show, but that’s not the direction I’m looking to take at this time.”
How about Miley Cyrus?
“I’d love to do a younger, cleaner version of Sex and the City,” Cyrus, 15, once said in an interview. “I like to think of myself as the girl that no one can get, that no one can keep in their hand.”
Selena Gomez is a philanthropic pop princess.
