“Wizards of Waverly Place” star Selena Gomez is about to shed her squeaky clean image.

The 19-year-old who just’s just about through with her world tour, is set to star in an “edgy” movie with Vanessa Hudgens and James Franco.

E! reports Selena will pay the role of Faith, a young girl who helps her friends rob a bank to help pay for their spring-break vacation.

She goes on spring break with her girlfriends and they end up getting into a whole mess of things. They’re partying and drinking. We end up in jail,” Selena says.

Looking forward to seeing Selena in a whole new light.

Selena Gomez is only 19 years old, but she is already an A-list performer, and her boyfriend Justin Bieber is arguably the most famous person in the world. However in a recent interview, Selena says she sometimes thinks about leaving Hollywood.

“I am so, so lucky to have the fans that I do,” she said. “But I have thought about my life being different. [Trips away from Hollywood are] really fun to be able to see that environment. [It makes] me think about how different my life could have been if I chose a different route and didn’t do what I do. It would be interesting, but I think I love my music and everything else too much to give it up!”

If she gave up Hollywood, she may also be giving up a ton of money, and let’s not forget Justin Bieber. You have a good deal Selena, don’t mess it up!

So what do you do on the weekends when you are the biggest celebrity couple on the planet? Justin Bieber answered that question to a bunch of Las Vegas elementary school students on Ellen.

“What do me and Selena do on the weekends?” he pondered to the room full of school kids. “We go to the movies. And we kiss,” he whispered, later laughing, “No, we don’t do that.” He answered a number of other of the kids’ inquiries in a rather quick-fire round. “Do I miss home? Yes, very much,” he said. “Cause I’m always traveling and I’m always away from a lot of my family and friends. So, it can be hard. But, once I get to go home and see my family, it’s always a pleasure.” Before leaving, he had these words of wisdom for the kids: “Be nice to each other and treat each other with respect and grow up to be people of character.”

Justin also spoke about his own struggles growing up.

“I’m here to bring a smile to these kids’ faces. For me, I grew up and I didn’t have a lot. We went to food banks to get food for me and my grandparents. Really, if I didn’t have my grandparents to help me and these kids they have you to help them,” he said. “And it’s really special.”

Look out for Demi Lovato who will be on the cover of Seventeen for February 2012. In the article, Demi opened up about the tough times she was having, and thanks Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez.

Demi shared, “There were two people [who were there for me]. No matter how many times we fight, we will always be in each others’ lives. [Miley Cyrus and I] are very strong-headed, so when we fight, it’s brutal and we’re like, ‘We’re never going to be friends again!’ Then two days later, we’re like, ‘I love you and I miss you!’”

“Selena [Gomez] and I, we never fight. She’s not a confrontational person at all. Both of them will never leave my life no matter what happens, because we’ve been through so much together,” Demi added of her BFF.

Selena Gomez was on  Baltimore radio station Z104.3, and she talked about why so many Justin Bieber fans hate her.

“It’s a little odd, but I understand it completely,” she admitted. “It’s amazing to me to see how many passionate fans there are. So obviously, you’ve just got to think of the fans first, and that’s OK.”

Selena also said it’s “kind of” annoying that she and Bieber can’t share the same fans, but said it’s “kind of cool we have our own individual [fans].”

Why do you think so many Bieber fans hate Selena so much?

Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber have a lot in common besides being major pop stars – they both come from families who had to battle hard times.

Selena recently revealed that when she and her family moved to Los Angeles, her first paycheque from “Wizards Of Waverly Place” went to pay the family’s rent.

She tells Access Hollywood, “I think (my first pay cheque) went into living (in Los Angeles) because we had to move from Texas, so I think we just had to pay for it.”

Now that was then and this is now. Do you think Selena is still covering her parents’ rent?

We are so incredibly sad to report Selena Gomez’ beautiful mom suffered a miscarriage this weekend.

Selena was so happy to announce a few weeks ago she would be a big sister, after her mom, Mandy, revealed she was having a baby with her husband, Brian Teefey.

The Hollywood Life reports Selena has to cancel two concerts at the last minute to be with her family in their time of need.

But Selena’s not alone during this dark hour. Her best friend Demi Lovato tweeted a simple “I love you” message.”

Our thoughts go out the Gomez family right now.

Selena Gomez posted some pics from her crazy Christmas sock party. As you can see, Selena and her friends are really getting into the Christmas spirit.

The country superstar turned 22 just 3 days ago and her dear friend Selena Gomez took a few minutes before going on stage to record her a special and adorable message.

The video was just posted on The Hollywood Life today but we’re certain Taylor got the memo on her actual birthday.

Selena Gomez had a concert that night in San Joe, California but she didn’t forget about Taylor’s big day. The two have been inseparable lately, they even sat beside each other at the American Music Awards.

“I know you’re having an awesome time, and I love you, and you’re amazing. You have a lot of people that love you, so happy birthday!” Selena says.

Watch the sweet video below.

Selena Gomez continues to show the world what a sweet, sincere young woman she is.

As reported on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show today, the singer surprised a 13-year-old girl named Hana at an L.A. hospital. Hana has a  fatally genetic disease called progeria that dramatically ages kids ten times faster than normal. So, she may be 13 but looks and feels like a 70 year old.

Hana’s tutor Sara wrote Ryan Seacrest a touching letter about Sara’s condition and how Selena is her favourite singer in the whole wide world. It’s hard to make the Christmas holiday fun when you have a friend in the hospital. Ryan decided to help Sara and Hana out by getting Selena to visit them in the hospital.

Selena could have been busy recording or doing press for her music or hanging out with her boyfriend Justin Bieber, but instead, she decided to selflessly devote some time to a dying 13-year-old girl.

“I can’t believe it. I had so much to say, but I didn’t want to cry in front of her because I didn’t want to look like a baby,” Hana told Ryan.

Because of Selena, Hana now has a Christmas she will never forget. Stories like this one really tug at your heartstrings, don’t they?

I don’t know what you guys have been doing this weekend but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t as eventful as Justin Bieber’s. He got to perform for President Obama at the White House.

The pop star sang at the Christmas in Washington 2011 event and the Hollywood Life says he did an amazing job. Obama’s daughters Malia and Sasha were over the moon when they finally got to meet Justin.

Justin was also extremely excited about the opportunity. He wrote on Twitter, “Great night! President Obama is one cool Prez. He told me he was “chillin.” #PresidentialSWAG.”

Obama showed how much “presidential swag” he truly had by joining Bieber and special guests Jennifer Hudson and Victoria Justice to sing “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing”.

Now, I know what you’re thinking: Where’s Selena? Well, Hollywood Life says she did travel with her boyfriend to Washington but probably laid low in the audience. After all, they just spent a nice mini-vacation in Mexico together. I’m sure the two need a break.

Are you a Muppet of a man or a very manly Muppet?

It’s the question we all ask ourselves every morning and yesterday, Jason Segel – who starred, co-wrote, executive-produced and resurrected the new ‘Muppets’ franchise – and his Muppet brother Walter serenade us with the existential ballad of self-awareness. It follows the two coping with heartache on different levels. It’s the Flight of the Conchords-type deepness that is both equal parts heartbreaking and hilarious.

In fact, it was penned by FOTC’s beloved Bret McKenzie. He wrote a few more songs for the soundtrack – along with OK Go, The Fray, Weezer, Hayley Williams, Amy Lee and My Morning Jacket.

With cornball cameos in the film ranging from Jack Black, Neil Patrick Harris, Selena Gomez and Dave Grohl – this teaser doesn’t disappoint, with ‘Big Bang Theory’ star Jim Parsons dropping in. If you haven’t made it to theatres to see it yet… why not?

When I was 17 , “geting away” with my boyfriend meant stealing mom’s car and hanging out in a Tim Horton’s parking lot. For the lucky Justin and Selena, they steal a private jet and hang out at a Mexican resort.

Just Jarred posted photos of the couple’s vacation in Mexico. They initially went south of the border to participate in Selena’s friend’s wedding. Her former t.v. co-star Shannon Larossi got married on the beach in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

Selena and Justin looked adorable catching some sun and playing around with the other bridesmaids. They weren’t afraid to show some PDA after the wedding ceremony.

You can check out more lovely photos of the pair at Just Jarred.

Nicki Minaj, Snooki, Taylor Swift and even his girlfriend Selena are all putting out perfumes this year, but it’s Justin Bieber who wins the best fragrance of the year award.

The Hollywood Life reveals that Justin won big earlier this morning at the Women’s Wear Daily Beauty Inc Awards, posted online.

He headed straight to Twitter to thank his fans for raising money for charity.  All proceeds of the perfume, which sells for around $40, will be given to charity but it’s not reported which one. Justin’s done a lot of work with organizations like Pencils for Promise and Make a Wish Foundation, so it could be either of those.

It’s kind of funny to think a man up against other famous women would ever stand a chance of winning a “best perfume” award. Maybe next year his girlfriend Selena can take home the gold.

While Selena’s getting some sun down in Mexico with boyfriend Justin Bieber, she’s leaving the design of her new perfume in the hands of her fans.

Selena wants fans to help her pick out a scent for her perfume. She just posted a video explaining to fans how helpful they’d be for her new project.

You’ll get to compare several notes that I’ve selected for the top, heart and base of the perfume,” the singer says.

The first 100,000 participants to help Selena pick scents will receive a free sample of the perfume before it’s even in stores. Ten lucky voters will also win a trip to New York to be with Selena as she makes her final decision.

Remember the good ol’ days when you were 17 and you could just jet-off to Mexico with your older significant other? I sure don’t. Sadly, maybe of us can’t enjoy life’s luxuries quite like Justin Beiber.

The Socialite Life posted photos of the two lovebirds spotted at the airport. The two are headed to Mexico for a wedding. No no, not their own (thank God!). The two are there to celebrate the nuptials of one of Selena’s friends, Shannon Larossi, a costume designer Selena met on her show “Wizards of Waverly Place”.

TMZ says Selena will take part in the ceremony as one of the bridesmaids and will sing at the wedding as well. Seems like her friend Shannon knows how to milk Selena for all she’s worth! Do you think she got a discount?

We’ve all seen red carpet photos of the hottest couple of the year, but here’s a photo you probably missed while skimming through the Justin and Selena gallery.

While walking down the red carpet at the American Music Awards a few weeks ago, the pair got flipped the finger by a woman attending the ceremony.

Not that many people in the world would dare give Justin or Selena the bird, but she seems to be brave enough to do it during such a public ceremony. KISS 95.1 FM are claiming many people call her the “unnamed hero”. But, considering how glamorous events like the AMAs can be, she’s more like the “unnamed loser” for doing such a mean-spirited thing.

After fans of Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber bombarded radio show host Kidd Kraddick with threats over what he said regarding Selena’s pregnant mom, he’s finally speaking out.

Kidd Kraddick tweeted before he went on air, saying “If you want to hear what we said this morning about Selena/Justin twitter war, you can watch it on KiddTV. #MovingOnNow”

Rumours of Justin and Selena fans threatening to bomb Kidd’s car began to swirl and so, of course, he had to make amends for his own safety.

Although he said some malicious things about the Gomez family (you can read about it here), I’m glad he’s owning up to his mistakes and clearing the air about what he initially said.

You can stream his show Kidd Nation here to hear what he has to about the feud.
