SELENA GOMEZ

SELENA GOMEZ THE SCENE

To the younger set, Selena Gomez is most recognizable for her TV roles first as a recurring character on Hannah Montana and now as the seasoned star of another Disney Channel hit, Wizards of Waverly Place. What does this mean? Well, among other things, it means that most men might not be intricately familiar with her, unless they’ve been forced to watch her due to parental obligations. Something of a mini- Jennifer Lopez in her looks and film, TV, fashion, and musical pursuits, Gomez is on the cusp of crossing over from famous teen stardom to worldwide celebrity. As her pop culture status will likely change soon with a little help from Katie Cassidy and Leighton Meester we thought we’d offer an appropriate introduction.

Selena Gomez was born and raised in Grand Prairie, Texas. Her mother Amanda (Commonly known as Mandy) Cornett is an Italian woman from Dallas, Texas and her father Ricardo Gomez is from New Mexico.

Mommy Mandy gave birth to Selena at 16, and her parents divorced in 1997. Nearly 10 years later she remarried to Brian Teefy. Selena is best known for her role as Alex Russo in the show 'Wizards Of Waverly Place' and as Mary in 'Another Cinderella Story'. Selena signed a record deal with Hollywood Records just before her 16th birthday and is recording an album due out Summer of 2009.

Date of Birth- 22 July 1992, Grand Prairie, Texas, USA
Birth Name- Selena Marie Gomez
Nickname- Sel, Selly
Height- 5' 5" (1.65 m)
Special in Her:- Her big smile :)

This weekend, Selena Gomez (And The Scene!) gifted her fans with a sneak peek of her killer new song, "Bang Bang Bang." TODAY, the girl gave it up in full and revealed the full song -- and thank goodness she did, because we were sort of starting to lose it.

While the "Bang Bang Bang" preview gave us a little taste of the more mature and sultry Selena, the full version takes it to a whole new level. The Toby Gad-produced jam has got a cool '80s vibe, while still capturing that same young and fresh sound Selena is known for. A marked departure from sunny and bright records like "Who Says," Selena confidently, coyly croons, "My new boy, knows the way I want it/he's got more swagger than you, he's got more swagger than you do."

Um, obviously, we all know who Selena's "new boy" is, and we'd wager a few of our hard-earned bucks that her new relationship has made a big impact on her fresh new sound. And speaking of fresh, Selena's got a new look to go with her new record and new man. And may we just say, we think it's working for her. Just look at that Texas hair! Does that remind you of a Disney starlet? We think not. But, we gotta hand it to her. Even in the midst of all the growing pains that accompany shaping a new look, Selena is still keeping it classy and producing irresistible new pop tracks too. Stay tuned for Selena Gomez's full-length album, When The Sun Goes Down, out June 28.

Didn't Selena Gomez learn from Pink Taco's painted-pink mistake?

The Disney star, who frolicked around the set of her latest music video on a Malibu beach Thursday with pink horses, is being slammed by musical artist and animal activist Pink.

On Thursday, Pink learned that a musical artist was shooting a video on Leo Carrillo State Beach, where horses were being painted her signature shade.
