Gossip Teen

Selena Gomez is lovely in gold tunic dress for the October cover of Latina magazine. The Wizards of Waverly Place actress spoke about her career, her love life and speaking Spanish:

Her career: “I’m not just going to slap my name on something… I want to be really passionate about everything I do, so it’s all about timing,” she says. “I’m 18, but I feel like I’m still 15. I feel very young at heart, and I still want to jump up and down on my bed singing and rocking out.”

Love and What She’s Looking For:  “You never really know when you’re in love at this age. I don’t know what love is. I would like someone who is not cool and who is really fun to be around and loves family and has good morals.”

Language Barriers: “I really need to learn my language. I practice, but I can understand it better than I can speak it.”

Selena’s cover issue is on sale September 14th and the star is releasing her second album, A Year Without Rain, later this month, on September 21st.

Actress Selena Gomez, who is rumored to be dating David Henrie (photos here>>), is the new cover girl of the latest issue of Latina Magazine (April 2009). Selena is such a sweet girl and she is excited about her first big magazine cover – watch video below!

Here are some highlights from Selena Gomez’s Latina Magazine interview:

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.”
