Selena Gomez Archives

Selena Gomez has always been and will always be obsessed with the Friends franchise, especially Rachel (Jennifer Aniston).

Yesterday afternoon, the 16-year-old actress dished to JustJaredJR.com all about her run-in (and run-away) with Aniston at Friday’s Women In Film 2009 Crystal And Lucy Awards!

“I was shaking!” Selena told JustJaredJR. “I ran into Jennifer in the bathroom and she goes, ‘Hi!’ My legs started to shake and I ran. I didn’t know what to do because I freaked out. I always say that I worship Rachel McAdams as a movie actress but for comedy — the whole reason I started my show and mannerisms, they were after Jennifer Aniston. It was so funny, they were playing clip reels of the work she’s done and I quoted the whole thing. Every single thing she’d say, I would say it. People were sitting there laughing at me and they’re like, ‘Wow, you’re obsessed.’ I freaked out, but I was happy she got the [Crystal] Award.”

FYI: Yesterday, People hosted a sneak peek of Selena’s Disney Channel movie, Princess Protection Program, which will air next Friday (June 26).

Disney starlet Selena Gomez is Latina magazine’s fresh new face on their April 2009 cover. Here’s what the 16-year-old Wizards of Waverly Place actress opened up about:

On being a teen celebrity, including the perks and the pitfalls that come with it: “I always wanted this to be my life but I don’t want it to live my life for me.”

On admiring Britney Spears: “In a way, Britney can be someone to look up to. She was constantly being looked at and picked on, and it’s starting to happen to me. At the moment, I don’t have anything good they can pick on me with, but they’ll find something. Maybe I can be as strong.”

On being proud of her Latin roots: “I didn’t even realize what a big deal it was to be Latin at first. But then one day being with my dad, it hit me: it’s pretty neat to be Mexican. And there aren’t enough Latinas in Hollywood—or there are, but they don’t get the recognition. So to be able to come out here and use that, it’s really a powerful thing.”

On the so-called feud with fellow Disney star, Miley Cyrus: “I think Miley can agree with me. There are so many more things going on that are so much more important to us in our lives than wasting time on that stuff.”

Selena was spotted shopping at American Eagle Outfitters in Puerto Rico, where she’s filming the Wizards movie.

Paris Hilton wore this Voom Python Dress in silver to the premiere of her movie, Repo! The Genetic Opera in Las Vegas in November. The 27-year-old heiress finished off her look with leggings, fingerless gloves and silver pumps.

Selena Gomez shimmered in the same dress on New Year’s Eve in her hometown of Houston, Texas. The 16-year-old Disney starlet completed her look with calf-high leggings, a charm bracelet and black pumps.

Who wore the Python dress best — SELENA GOMEZ or PARIS HILTON?

Selena Gomez has formed her very own production company, July Moon Prods., reports Variety.

The 16-year-old Disney starlet will be able to option articles, hire screenwriters and tie additional talent to packages that can then be shopped to studios.

Selena is also on her way for creating a Disney Channel original movie! She told MTV News, “Yes! We actually want to shoot it here in New York. I think it would have to be that our secret is about to be exposed.

A Disney rep added, “It will be part of the blockbuster Disney Channel Original Movie franchie, the same franchise that launched High School Musical and Camp Rock. While it’s only in development, the plan is to have the movie ready for the 2009 calendar year.”

A production company at age 16!!! Go, Selena!!!

Selena Gomez attends the launch of UNICEF’s 2008 Trick-or-Treat campaign at New York City’s Dylan’s Candy Bar on Thursday. The 16-year-old Disney sensation encouraged the students of P.S. 3 to make Halloween count by helping other children around the world.

At the event, Selena shared who she’s dressing up as this Halloween, which she is spending with BFF Demi Lovato. (It’s one of their yearly traditions.)

“I’m going to be June Carter Cash,” she tells Twist. “It’s something that’s close to my heart because I’m from Texas and [her husband, country legend] Johnny Cash is a really big deal to my grandparents. It’s a little tribute to them.”
