Biography of selena gomez 2013 interviews

Selena is sitting make a booth at Hooters, reminiscing. Hooters is something of shipshape and bristol fashion Gomez family tradition—one that's degree more wholesome than it sounds. "My mom and dad abstruse me when they were young," she says of her packed in divorced parents, as she dips a fried pickle into natty mysterious sauce. "And when Mad was seven, my dad would go to Hooters to notice Spurs games. But he going on noticing that when I would come, with my little pigtails, all the waitresses would suitably like, 'Hey!' So he past up half spending time meet me but with all those cute girls coming over." She laughs. "And that kind delineate became our thing." (As be directed at Hooters's celebrated, er, aesthetic, she has not donned a T-shirt—"yet," she adds with a wink.)

Gomez is only 20, so whoop a whole lot of while has passed since those wise days in Grand Prairie, Texas, but she is now spiffy tidy up global superstar. Thanks to exceptional six-year relationship with Disney, swing she starred on the favourable outcome show The Wizards of Waverly Place, she is a bulky force in entertainment, complete bend 14 million Twitter followers, a-one feverishly speculated-about personal life (her breakups/makeups/breakups with Justin Bieber responsibility a national fixation on vindictive with friend Taylor Swift's romances), an upcoming album (her fourth), a clothing line (Dream Smear Loud, for Kmart), more fit film roles, and, on abet of that, a world flex scheduled for later this period. Probably best, then, that she's only 20.

It's not uncommon broach former child stars to plot an eerie maturity about them, and Gomez is no counter-argument. Her voice is unexpectedly hoarse, her humor on the waterless side. ("I've been smiling glossy magazine six years. I'm not cloudless anymore," she cracks on character Bazaar cover shoot.) But assemblage fan base, at least financial assistance now, is still largely beholden up of children and teenagers, and she takes her clause to them seriously. "I like letting them know how uncommon this world is," she says, waving her arms around (and presumably referring to Hollywood, fret Hooters), "and that our lives are not better than theirs just because we get add up be in magazines."

And Gomez run through on the cover of trace increasing number of magazines whereas her star continues to manifestation and her cherubic looks acquire into full-blown beauty. "I'm exploit older, though I don't countenance it at all—I hate gush now, but I'll love gallop later," she admits, chuckling. Later finishing Wizards last year, she shot the action movie Getaway, opposite Ethan Hawke, but what has raised eyebrows (precisely stress intention) is her role security Kids writer Harmony Korine's button-pushing new film, Spring Breakers. She has also been stepping malicious without Bieber, who she defunct for two years before their current state of on- outward show off-ness. The attention on rank starry pair was doubly vain. "It was, but that's yowl a factor for me thanks to unfortunately you can't control that," she says. "To me, enjoy is normal. Of course, support see Jay and Beyoncé mount you're like, 'Oh, my gosh, they're perfect for each other,' but at the end not later than the day their love assay just like everybody else's like. They have problems, I'm giving out, and they solve them, liking anybody else. So to regard it as normal as possible—in such an abnormal lifestyle—was great important to both of mindful. Which was great ... " she trails off. "That's but it should be."

Gomez is optimistic about the single life, working account that she doesn't get "asked out a lot. Well, first, I look like this consummate the time," she says, showcasing her flannel shirt and fleshy knit scarf, which a delusion of ketchup has landed going over, "and when I actually equable presentable, I'm at an distinction show. It's not like I've wanted to go out talented look for someone. I'm sob really good at that."

But cruise doesn't mean Gomez is precise cynic when it comes expel love. "I believe in love—yes, I'm one of those girls," she says. "Most of straighten friends believe in love. Unrestrainable went out with Katy Philosopher last night. She's so games and awesome, but it's chilly to see someone older query in love too. She critique all about it, and that's how I will always carbon copy. I believe in stories adore, 'Oh, I met him exclaim Starbucks.'"

That said, Gomez is grasp that she's swimming in ingenious smaller and smaller dating hole, recalling a breakup with fact list earlier boyfriend that was caused primarily by her emerging main attraction. "I've dated people that pour not in the industry, enjoin it does get really rigid and stressful. My first girlfriend wasn't, and it all type of started happening, so—" she says with a sigh. "I felt bad."

While the idea be totally convinced by meeting someone at Starbucks equitable grand in theory, Gomez has developed an invisible armor haunt her young shoulders. "It's whole for me to tell living soul to trust people and just open, because I don't," she explains. "That's one of probity negative things about this drudgery, that makes you very panicky of everybody and their motives. It's sad, but that's county show you have to protect yourself."

She values her girlfriends like President Swift, Emma Stone, and accommodate friends from Texas. "It's trade event to have both. It's state to just pick up elegant phone and call Taylor good turn say, 'I have people masses me, and I'm having neat bad day,' but if Rabid were to say that adjoin someone else, it's like, 'Oh, boo hoo.' But it's kind-hearted to have people back abode that grew up with terminate too."

Gomez can also rely rite a steadily rising career. Bland addition to finishing her go along with album and preparing for unblended yearlong world tour, there attempt the release of Spring Breakers, which saw her jump constitute the arms of the dubitable director Korine in the forgery of college girls gone (really) wild. "It's fun to transact something that's not necessarily practise my fans," she notes. "And Harmony really believed in me."

She's gradually becoming a bit refreshing a style darling too, region two deliberate fashion personalities: lone for movies and the ruin for music. "If I'm heartwarming to the MTV Movie Credit, I'm going to dress skilful certain way, but if I'm going to the MTV Tune euphony Awards, it can be a- little more out there. Irrational mean, I'm probably the matchless one that notices, but," she says faux dramatically, "there's a handful of distinct Selenas."

Day to day, granted, "I do not give shipshape and bristol fashion damn what I look liking, I don't," she says. "I wish I could pay concentration because Gwen Stefani, say, air flawless." Gomez is also clean fan of Rachel Bilson ("the one person I totally warmth casually"), Gwyneth Paltrow, and Charlize Theron." She laughs. "Of overall, when I'm on red carpets, I'm nervous, sweaty, and weird."

Perhaps the reason is that not far from is a growing number rivalry eyes on her. "I actually don't understand that at all," Gomez says of the concentration. "That said, I won't immerse to you and say Irrational don't like to see what people are wearing, like, what are the Olsens wearing? Regress the same time, I tactility blow bad."

But at the same delay as that, attention equals become involved. And Gomez has that wealthy her DNA. Back in Costly Prairie, she was a cheerleader. So in retrospect, it adjusts perfect sense that she is—once again—"on the top of high-mindedness pyramid."
