24 Hour Pass – Selena Still Mum About for Demi

Rachelle Yap — Sun, 26 Dec 2010 14:03:11 +0000

Demi Lovato got a 24 hour Christmas pass and former BFF Selena Gomez is still not talking about her fellow Disney star.

Selena Gomez still emits her cold treatment to Demi Lovato. Recently, Demi got some pass in her treatment facility to be able to spend the holidays with her family. Also, Demi’s rep gained some ground after they reached a settlement with back-up dancer Alex Welch, who Demi reportedly punched after she lost her cool during their Camp Rock tour.

When Selena was asked about her thoughts about Demi, the 18 year old singer-actress did not have anything to say about Demi. Anyway, it’s Christmas, girls! We just hope both of you can iron out any misgivings the past year.

Selena Gomez, who had her star shine when she played as Alex Russo in Disney’s Wizards of Waverly Place that won her an Emmy Award, does not quite mind if she covers song from time to time.

The teenage star has recently taken the cover of Jason Derulo’s “In My Head.” Gomez did this for the iheartradio and the rest of the stint goes down in history.

Critics quite agree to the fact that Selena Gomez is not the best singer out there. She has her own competitors, and we must say that they are much better than her in this aspect. Miley Cyrus’ there and she’s been hitting Hollywood amazingly. You could also include Vanessa Hudgens as one, and of course Demi Lovato who is also a Disney star.

However, we must give this teenage star two thumbs up of being brave enough in taking those shots to cover up for other artist’s songs.

Gomez confesses, “I love covering songs. Whenever I tour, I have five songs.” She furthermore adds, “People are always like that ‘That’s a lot of songs.’ But it’s because I don’t always want it to be about me and my music. I want it to be just music in general. I love being able to cover people that I love.”

In general, Gomez’s cover ups seem to be just alright. A lot of teenagers are singing over and over again the covers of Gomez.

Tough Business for Selena Gomez – Crystal Bowersox Visits Ellen

Winston Catacutan — Fri, 17 Dec 2010 04:37:46 +0000

Music can be a tough business for Selena, while Crystal Bowersox promotes new album on Ellen.

Crystal Bowersox is slowly getting away from the shadow of being just a “runner-up” in American Idol. As of late, she’s been fervently promoting her album entitled “Farmer’s Daughter” and gladly she was welcomed by former AI judge Ellen DeGeneres on her show. Crystal’s album is creeping up the Billboard charts as it landed on Top 200 priding approximately 45,000 to 50,000 copies purchased.

Crystal is also getting her fans thrilled on her single’s music video that is going to official broadcast on the 3rd of January 2011. Bowersox unveiled that the video expresses the “healing cycle” she went through in the past. She confessed that it’s her story as a symbolism of a little girl who’s mom is driving her at a distance and so they stumble on life’s challenges. We’re guessing thus will be Crystal’s ticket to embark on a fulfilling music career next year.

Another music artist Selena Gomez is finding show business as a whole a tough business.

Although Selena is overcome by challenges, she admits having fun as an alternative to all the obstacles can bring out her strength to go on.

Recently, Selena is worked with Katy Perry who provided back-up vocals for the song written and composed by Selena Gomez. Perry agreed to the deal that she will also sing Gomez’s “Rock God” after the young actress-singer pleaded her managers that the some of the vocals may be done by Perry. Perry and Gomez recorded the song as a funky duet.

Perry was originally asked to do the song “Rock God” alone that will be included in the Disney’s new album; specifically Selena Gomez’s album entitled “A Year without Rain.” Later on with the process, Perry was convinced to also do back-up vocals for the song.

The young actress-singer Selena Gomez expressed, “Katy Perry gave me a song called ‘Rock God.’ It’s one of my favorite songs ever. I actually had to fight for that song. I wanted it so bad. It’s kind of funky, and I think I used her style and we kind of mixed it up with the producers that I worked with my style, so we made it a little more techno.”

Gomez further added, “I just loved her style, and she did background vocals on that as well. So I was very, very blessed on the record, because it’s so much fun, and I can’t wait to perform it.”

According to Gomez, who has formed a band named Selena Gomez and the Scene, this is a dream come true because she is really a big fan of Katy Perry.

Pancakes & Ozzy: Even YouTube has Bieber fever

Winston Catacutan — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 18:06:40 +0000

Pancakes with Selena Gomez and his YouTube videos dominating in 2010, but Ozzy Osbourne doesn’t even know who Justin Bieber is.

Maybe he’s been living under a rock or worse – pretending, but Ozzy Osbourne shamelessly declared that he doesn’t know Justin Bieber. He revealed it via his interview with Mark Hoppus on Fuse TV. Well, better ask your daughter Kelly about him. We’re sure she’ll be aghast about her father’s disconnect to pop culture!

If Ozzy wants to know who Justin Bieber really is, take for instance his pancakes date with co-teen star Selena Gomez is making a lot of buzz. They are being romantically linked together – Selena gushed about that pancakes incident that: “‘It was pancakes. Who doesn’t like pancakes? We were both performing in the same place so we went and had pancakes together.That’s all it is. All innocent. I love Justin.”

Oh and Ozzy.. Ever heard of YouTube? Justin Bieber videos are topping in 2010 based on the number of views. Last Monday YouTube shared its most watched videos in 2010 and guess what? Bieber’s “Baby (feat. Ludacris)” gained the title as the “most viewed music video of the year” on YouTube, copping more than 408 million views.

So by now, we’re predicting Ozzy Osbourne is probably realizing he’s living in 2010 not in the 1980s anymore.

Ka-Bong for Miley: After Demi, is Selena next in line?

Rachelle Yap — Sun, 12 Dec 2010 16:21:29 +0000

The “bong incident” hits Miley Cyrus hard, this was just after Demi Lovato had her mess-up – will Selena Gomez be next?

Disney darlings as they are, but growing up seems to be they are involved in some hiccups reminiscent of Lindsay Lohan or Britney Spears. Miley Cyrus just recently had media frenzy over her bong-smoking-salvia hullabaloo. Although she’s not at all affected by the uproar around her, Miley was seen sporting her usual self in their film shoot of “So Undercover” in New Orleans.

Many sources defend Miley’s actions saying that what she did is not illegal. It’s just a matter of perception but is this just a month before her fellow Disney star Demi Lovato had her mess-up?

Lindsay Lohan herself is doing well now. But in previous months, she admitted that she failed her test as she posted messages on Twitter. According to Lohan, she is really “working hard to overcome” her problems.

In Lohan’s tweet, she stated, “Regrettably, I did in fact fail my most recent… test and if I am asked, I am prepared to appear before judge Fox next week as a result.”

Before this, the judge of Lohan’s case already warned the actress that she’ll probably go back to jail if she fails another test. Lohan’s case was the 2007 drunken driving obliges her to undergo several tests.

Judge Elden Fox is the judge holding Lohan’s case. She “imposed a new set of rules for her to follow until November.” These rules include “weekly counseling sessions for alcohol and drug rehab, random tests, and behavioral therapy.”

What does Lindsay have to do with Demi and Miley? Learn from your predecessor. We are fearing for you Selena Gomez. We are hoping you will be treading a different path though and maintain your good image.

Justin Bieber vs. Drake – Selena Gomez Decides on her Best New Artist bet

Rachelle Yap — Wed, 08 Dec 2010 03:03:49 +0000

Selena Gomez prefers her friend Justin Bieber to win, of course!

Selena Gomez does not mince words to voice out her preference as to who she wants to win the Best New Artist trophy in the much-awaited music event next year – the Grammy Awards that’s scheduled on the 13th of February 2011.

In an interview with MTV, Selena shared that her preference for her friend has a valid reason – she knows how hard the 16 year old Canadian pop star is working to perfect his musical craft. Selena is also nominated but she has relented hopes of winning. Despite that, she’s still so thrilled about the prospect of being noticed for her singing stints.

More about Selena Gomez, it’s very pleasant to know that she finds time to give back to others, aside from being busy with her television shows, movies in the making and her singing career. In fact, she also is going her way to help raise money for the underprivileged children across the world through UNICEF.

At 18, Selena is the new and youngest ambassador of UNICEF. She’s been with them for the past 3 years and she has been to Ghana and other countries in need of support and programs of UNICEF. Recently, she designed a t-shirt for them to further help spread the word about their programs.

As of the moment, Selena’s working on convincing other teens like her to get involved in UNICEF’s “Trick or Treat” Fundraiser, it aims to raise money for the programs of UNICEF. For the past years, the said fundraiser has raised $160 million. Two months ago, Selena was a guest on CNN with Kyra Phillips, and she shared her goals for UNICEF. The one story that struck her was when a 14 year old kid went around his community to ask people to send him to school, at one point a shot gun was pointed at his head. That’s when Selena felt that she was blessed to be in school, she remembered the days when she hated doing homework’s and other school projects, “it made me realize I was so blessed, to be in school and to have a good career, it’s time that I share to others my blessings.” Keep up the good work Selena!

Should Selena Gomez and Joe Jonas visit Demi Lovato?

Demi Lovato gets cold shoulder from Joe Jonas and Selena Gomez?

Demi Lovato got no “friendly” support yet from Joe Jonas and Selena Gomez.

Close pals are said to be your “chosen” family. Yet, it seems Demi Lovato has been given the cold shoulder by her so-called BFF Selena Gomez and former flame Joe Jonas. Are they keeping some silent grudge towards Demi?

In an article by MTV.com, Joe Jonas sort-of denied that Demi Lovato was meant to be a love interest for him. He said their relationship is in “friendly” terms. Will he have the heart to visit Demi during her recuperation? Joe Jonas could not confirm this yet but he said it will depend on his schedule. Or maybe, the decision will be if Ashley Greene, his current girlfriend, will allow him.

And what about Selena Gomez? The former best of friends had some misgivings when Selena replaced Demi with Taylor Swift. Until now, Selena Gomez has not yet gave her two cents about Demi Lovato’s rehabilitation stint. The cold treatment seems to be unnerving but Selena could swallow her pride because her former friend is in need of support.

Demi Lovato informed that she is thrilled to be back by the first week of December. She’s currently right on track and thrilled to spend Thanksgiving with her loved ones at the center. Don’t you think Demi could use some “friendly” gesture from Joe Jonas and Selena Gomez by visiting her during this tough time?

Rachelle Yap — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 21:12:03 +0000

Selena Gomez has a Shakira dream?

The young Disney singer actress wants to bump-and-grind like the Colombian songstress Shakira. Not exactly peeps! It’s just that the 18 year old star wanted to have an all-Spanish album like her idol. Selena thinks that if she did an album with every song in Spanish, she would make her family proud.

She just finished filming her upcoming movie with Leighton Meester and Katie Cassidy – Monte Carlo.

Anne Hathaway thinks being so skinny is not cool.

Arriving in the red carpet screening in New York for her latest film Love and Other Drugs, is actress Anne Hathaway wearing a white pinafore dress. The actress looked very radiant as she walks down the red carpet, and completely confident and comfortable under her own skin.

Hathaway arrived with her co-actor Jake Gyllenhaal in their New York film screening. When she was commented that she has lost some weight, she shared that she often felt the pressure of dieting for her body image. She even got the thought of having her looks to be surgically enhanced.

The actress was first noticed in Hollywood when she had her character in The Princess Diaries. The world noticed her beauty and skills, but she admitted that she had taken long years before accepting the way she looks. The actress confessed, “My identity used to be shaped on my appearance so much.” She further added, “I don’t think I was shallow. I just think I was young.”

She emphasizes that she’s now focusing on other things a lot more. She shared, “I’ve hit the point in my life where I understand that being skinny is not sustainable, and nor is it advisable, and nor is it enjoyable.”

Hathaway also revealed that she was offered to do Botox and other beauty enhancements, but refused all of them because she doesn’t want to “erase” her personality. She further shared that even though her looks are not so high-profile as other actresses are, she definitely enjoys who she really is.
