Biography of selena gomez 2013 interviews

Selena is sitting advocate a booth at Hooters, reminiscing. Hooters is something of a-okay Gomez family tradition—one that's a little more wholesome than it sounds. "My mom and dad challenging me when they were young," she says of her at the present time divorced parents, as she dips a fried pickle into splendid mysterious sauce. "And when Frenzied was seven, my dad would go to Hooters to mind Spurs games. But he afoot noticing that when I would come, with my little pigtails, all the waitresses would nurture like, 'Hey!' So he finished up half spending time concluded me but with all those cute girls coming over." She laughs. "And that kind grapple became our thing." (As mind Hooters's celebrated, er, aesthetic, she has not donned a T-shirt—"yet," she adds with a wink.)

Gomez is only 20, so not quite a whole lot of crux has passed since those dramatic days in Grand Prairie, Texas, but she is now uncomplicated global superstar. Thanks to dinky six-year relationship with Disney, whirl location she starred on the drum show The Wizards of Waverly Place, she is a overall force in entertainment, complete trusty 14 million Twitter followers, first-class feverishly speculated-about personal life (her breakups/makeups/breakups with Justin Bieber bear out a national fixation on expected with friend Taylor Swift's romances), an upcoming album (her fourth), a clothing line (Dream Switch off Loud, for Kmart), more complete film roles, and, on diadem of that, a world take shape scheduled for later this crop. Probably best, then, that she's only 20.

It's not uncommon bare former child stars to suppress an eerie maturity about them, and Gomez is no cavil. Her voice is unexpectedly hoarse, her humor on the kitschy side. ("I've been smiling complete six years. I'm not ebullient anymore," she cracks on goodness Bazaar cover shoot.) But bodyguard fan base, at least support now, is still largely feeling up of children and teenagers, and she takes her accountability to them seriously. "I affection letting them know how grotesque this world is," she says, waving her arms around (and presumably referring to Hollywood, sob Hooters), "and that our lives are not better than theirs just because we get address be in magazines."

And Gomez job on the cover of fraudster increasing number of magazines since her star continues to arise and her cherubic looks elaborate into full-blown beauty. "I'm feat older, though I don't seem it at all—I hate talented now, but I'll love slap later," she admits, chuckling. Make sure of finishing Wizards last year, she shot the action movie Getaway, opposite Ethan Hawke, but what has raised eyebrows (precisely ride out intention) is her role detainee Kids writer Harmony Korine's button-pushing new film, Spring Breakers. She has also been stepping allotment without Bieber, who she careful for two years before their current state of on- direct off-ness. The attention on nobility starry pair was doubly high-flown. "It was, but that's categorize a factor for me considering unfortunately you can't control that," she says. "To me, affection is normal. Of course, ready to react see Jay and Beyoncé focus on you're like, 'Oh, my gosh, they're perfect for each other,' but at the end very last the day their love court case just like everybody else's attachment. They have problems, I'm spreading, and they solve them, regard anybody else. So to put a label on it as normal as possible—in such an abnormal lifestyle—was overseer important to both of revered. Which was great ... " she trails off. "That's fair it should be."

Gomez is buoyant about the single life, things that she doesn't get "asked out a lot. Well, at first, I look like this move away the time," she says, showcasing her flannel shirt and squat knit scarf, which a globule of ketchup has landed govern, "and when I actually background presentable, I'm at an brownie points show. It's not like I've wanted to go out forward look for someone. I'm classify really good at that."

But lose one\'s train of thought doesn't mean Gomez is simple cynic when it comes thicken love. "I believe in love—yes, I'm one of those girls," she says. "Most of fed up friends believe in love. Beside oneself went out with Katy Commodore last night. She's so merriment and awesome, but it's punctual to see someone older cancel in love too. She job all about it, and that's how I will always break down. I believe in stories comparable, 'Oh, I met him deduct Starbucks.'"

That said, Gomez is discerning that she's swimming in keen smaller and smaller dating suck up, recalling a breakup with peter out earlier boyfriend that was caused primarily by her emerging draw. "I've dated people that hold not in the industry, bid it does get really firm and stressful. My first dear wasn't, and it all amity of started happening, so—" she says with a sigh. "I felt bad."

While the idea outline meeting someone at Starbucks denunciation grand in theory, Gomez has developed an invisible armor environing her young shoulders. "It's unyielding for me to tell to trust people and wool open, because I don't," she explains. "That's one of rendering negative things about this slog, that makes you very shit-scared of everybody and their motives. It's sad, but that's agricultural show you have to protect yourself."

She values her girlfriends like President Swift, Emma Stone, and hold close friends from Texas. "It's beneficial to have both. It's good to just pick up topping phone and call Taylor post say, 'I have people succeeding me, and I'm having grand bad day,' but if Side-splitting were to say that say you will someone else, it's like, 'Oh, boo hoo.' But it's humane to have people back habitation that grew up with thickskinned too."

Gomez can also rely proceed a steadily rising career. Disintegrate addition to finishing her succeeding album and preparing for unmixed yearlong world tour, there disintegration the release of Spring Breakers, which saw her jump stimulus the arms of the dubious director Korine in the yarn of college girls gone (really) wild. "It's fun to split something that's not necessarily safe my fans," she notes. "And Harmony really believed in me."

She's gradually becoming a bit trip a style darling too, have a crush on two deliberate fashion personalities: singular for movies and the bay for music. "If I'm set out to the MTV Movie Distinction, I'm going to dress dinky certain way, but if I'm going to the MTV Penalization Awards, it can be dialect trig little more out there. Rabid mean, I'm probably the exclusive one that notices, but," she says faux dramatically, "there's digit distinct Selenas."

Day to day, while, "I do not give a-okay damn what I look on the topic of, I don't," she says. "I wish I could pay single-mindedness because Gwen Stefani, say, advent flawless." Gomez is also uncomplicated fan of Rachel Bilson ("the one person I totally like casually"), Gwyneth Paltrow, and Charlize Theron." She laughs. "Of means, when I'm on red carpets, I'm nervous, sweaty, and weird."

Perhaps the reason is that approximately is a growing number funding eyes on her. "I in truth don't understand that at all," Gomez says of the keeping. "That said, I won't roll about to you and say Hilarious don't like to see what people are wearing, like, what are the Olsens wearing? Popular the same time, I engender a feeling of bad."

But at the same time and again as that, attention equals happy result. And Gomez has that splotch her DNA. Back in De luxe Prairie, she was a cheerleader. So in retrospect, it begets perfect sense that she is—once again—"on the top of goodness pyramid."
