Gossip Teen

19-year-old Selena Gomez took time to soak up some rays on the beach in Brazil this week while taking a much needed break from her South American tour.  The former Disney wizardess (is that what you call a female wizard??) posed with some excited fans in a barely-there black and white bikini on Saturday, sporting a fierce tan and an even fiercer six-pack.

The Gomster, who graces the March cover of Cosmopolitan Magazine says that while she is becoming more comfortable with her sensual side, she isn’t ready to start calling herself a “sex symbol” just yet.

Don’t worry Selena.  Every guy in America will take care of that for you.

Whooooa, everybody calm down!

Pop star Selena Gomez was forced to squelch a breakup rumor that she started earlier this week, after she posted a picture of a petal-less flower on Twitter with the caption “love me not”.

Fans went crazy after reading the Tweet, sending messages to the singer asking if she and beau Justin Bieber were headed to splitsville.

The 19-year-old D.I.T. (that’s Diva-in-Training for those of you just joining us) quickly put the rumors to rest Tweeting,

Whoa.. I was just picking some flowers with this chick. Smile everyone.

Way to run damage control Selena.  We like your style.

Va-Va-Va-VOOM!

Former Wizards of Waverly Place star Selena Gomez is all grown up on her very first cover of COSMO Magazine - the 19-year-old looks sexy and mature gracing one of the country’s sexiest and maturest magazines… so that works out just fine.

The ‘zine, which will hit stands in March, will explore such hard-hitting issues as “How to give your butt a facial” and “Why guys love when you bite your lip” – we didn’t know Selena had such a nose for news!

All kidding aside, the Gomster looks beautiful and we aren’t going to pretend like we’re too good to read about that butt facial thing…

1/2 of everyone’s favorite Hollywood teen couple, Selena Gomez recently opened up about her excessive “partying and drinking” and getting herself thrown in jail, during an interview with E! Online.

Wait… Whaaaaaaat?!

Calm down, calm down, the Gomster was just referring to the character she plays in the upcoming film Spring Breakers, in which she stars with James Franco, Vanessa Hudgens and Emma Roberts.

That casting certainly worked out well for you, eh Mr. Franco?

Selena shared that her character Faith is,

…The little more tamed down character but also still gets a little crazy here and there… 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.

Spring Breakers hits theaters later this year and should be the only time we see Ms. Gomez partying this hard for at least another three years.  Right Selena?

Pop star Selena Gomez took to the stage at the L.A. House of Blues Friday night, to raise money for the United Nations Children’s Fund (or UNICEF.  You know, that organization we all collected change for every Halloween?)

The 19-year-old was joined by her boyfriend Justin Bieber (obviously!), Ashley Tisdale, David Beckhan and other A-listers to raise money and awareness for this worthy cause that supports needy kids all over the world.

Selena took to her Facebook page to thank all those who came out to support her fundraising efforts

I don’t have an exact number but together we all raised over 200,000 dollars to benefit Unicef. We’re helping to save the lives of children all over the world.

Gomez has been working hand-in-hand with UNICEF since 2008 and became an official representative for their cause in 2009.

Way to make being a goody-twoshoes cool again Selena!

Selena Gomez must reaaallly love her fans because the 19-year-old let them weigh in on what scents would be featured in her latest fragrance. According to the Gomster’s official website (Yes, I’m calling her that now), the main “note” will be raspberries, followed by a heart note of purple freesia and a base note of vanilla.

I have absolutely no idea what that means, but I’m guessing it’s going to smell real purdy-like.

Selena reached out to all her fans who voted, thanking them for being a part of the project,

Hi guys! Thank you so much for participating in helping me create my new fragrance! You have picked raspberry as my top note, purple freesia as my heart note, and vanilla as my base note. I am very excited to share this new perfume with each and every one of you. Please stay tuned for information regarding the launch of my fragrance, available at Macy’s this May, and for the announcement of our 10 lucky winners who will be flown out to New York to help me make my final decision. Again, thank you for your help!

Will you pick up Selena’s scent??  No, not like pick it up, like smell it – I mean, will you buy it?  C’mon guys – work with me here!

Reunited and it feels so good!

BFFs Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez finally got to log some serious hang time hours when the two hooked up to hang with pals earlier this week. According to sources, the gals gabbed, gossiped and wrote in their dream journals until the wee hours of the morning.

Okay, that part I made up, but it does sort of seem like something they’d do.

The gal pals’ bond seems to be stronger than ever, despite the fact that Selena recently took to her Twitter to announce that she has a new BBF – her puppy Baylor!

Hooray for Hollywood Besties

Lovebirds Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber hightailed it to Cabo San Lucas this week for a romantic weekend away from all the hustle and bustle of Hollywood.

However, the teens didn’t want to celebrate the final taping of Selena’s show Wizards of Waverly Place all alone, so they brought along friends Francia Raisa from The Secret Life of the American Teenager and Ashley Benson of Pretty Little Liars to the  Las Ventanas al Paraiso resort.

Sounds um… romantic?

How come Justin didn’t get to bring any of his boys along?  Is Selena wearing the pants in this relationship???

“Love You Like a Love Song” singer Selena Gomez has finally been issued a restraining order against her crazed stalker, 46-year-old Thomas Brodnicki.

It’s about time!

Brodnicki, who traveled all the way from his home in Illinois in order to meet Gomez, was slapped with a three-year order to stay away from the former Wizards of Waverly Place star and discontinue trying to make contact with her.

According to reports, Brodnicki, who has a history of mental illness, told authorities that he believed that God wanted him to kill the 19-year-old and even admitted that he had visited several of the actress’ workplaces trying to meet her.

Thank goodness Selena now has the law on her side against this creep-ola!

Teen pop sensation Selena Gomez may not have been able to share the stage with longtime boyfriend Justin Bieber during his performance in Times Square, but the Disney starlet didn’t let that stop her from having a rocking good time saying “adios” to 2011!

The former Wizards of Waverly Place star was one of the featured artists during MTV’s New Year’s Eve bash and looked absolutely stunning, donning an ultra-lowcut, sequined gown during her performance of her singles “Love You Like a Love Song” and “Hit the Lights”.

After her performance, the 19-year-old was able to spend some time celebrating alongside Bieber and BFF Demi Lovato, who was on hand helping host the MTV NYE bash.
