Gomez made her very first television debut as one of the children on the kids TV show Barney & Friends. She reached stardom with her role as Alex Russo on the Emmy Award–winning Disney Channel series Wizards of Waverly Place. Gomez has also starred in the television movies Another Cinderella Story, Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie, Camp Rock, and Princess Protection Program.

It looks like dating younger men is becoming a trend in Hollywood these days for high-profile Latinas. Everyone from Shakira to Eva Longoria to Selena Gomez has been spotted on the arms of a younger man lately. No matter whether the age difference is two years or ten, we're loving it!
Here's a look at a few of our favorite Latinas and the younger men they are romancing.
We've known for a while that platinum-selling recording artist Prince Royce had a crush on Selena Gomez, but when we shared our knowledge with the popular bachatero, he was more than a little surprised. "Jesus Christ. Man, a ustedes no se les escapa nada," he said bursting into loud laughter. "I don't know how you people find these things out, but yeah I have a crush on her. She's beautiful. Who wouldn’t have a crush on that girl?"
When we asked...
In the past month, Selena Gomez has experimented with a few different hair lengths. At the Grammys, the starlet rocked extra-long extensions, styled into sexy loose waves. Then, a week later, she went back to her smooth grown-out bob, which hits just past her shoulders. And now—for her appearance on David Letterman last night—Selena showed off new, slightly-shorter and super straight extensions. We think she looks more amazing than ever. But you tell us:
Two of the biggest teen stars on the planet, Selena Gomez and Victoria Justice debuted new music videos this weekend. And both look absolutely gorgeous in the new vids! But whose is better?
Justice, the part-Puerto Rican 18-year-old star of Nickelodeon's Victorious, premiered the revenge/breakup song, "Begging On Your Knees," while Selena debuted the video for "Who Says," a catchy pop anthem that the Disney star...
This week, Modern Family star Sofia Vergara told TV Guide she’s close to landing the role of beauty salon owner Daniela in the movie version of the Tony-winning Broadway musical, In the Heights, which begins shooting this summer. That got us thinking about our dream casting choices. Check them out:
Selena Gomez has been wearing her purity ring less and less and her parents are worried that she might do something she will regret with her new beau Justin Bieber.
Gomez has been wearing the ring as a symbol of her decision to abstain from sex until marriage since she was 12-years-old. The ring is engraved with the quote, "True love waits." But, as we all know from Bieber's chatty Rolling Stone...
Selena Gomez debuted her new single on Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM radio show yesterday and we've gotta say, it's pretty fantastic! "Who Says" is an anthem celebrating individuality and empowerment and seems like a direct shot at all of the folks who have been trying to tear Gomez down since it was revealed that she is dating Justin Bieber, though the pop star refuses to confirm exactly who the song is aimed at.
"When I heard it, I feel like my fans need this song right now. Especially with Twitter and Facebook, it'...
Nine seconds. That's how long (or rather, short) the sneak peak is for Selena Gomez's new video, "Who Says," but it's enough time for us to notice that the 18-year-old Disney star looks absolutely gorgeous! Described as an up-tempo anthem of self-empowerment, Gomez and her band The Scene will world premiere "...
