Selena Gomez Is Creme’s Cover Cutie

Written by Violet on June 30, 2010 – 4:32 pm -

New Zealand’s Creme magazine has an absolutely lovely-in-lavender Selena Gomez gazing out at the world for the July 2010 issue. The Ramona and Beezus actress shared an inspirational message she received:

What gives her courage: “‘Tough times don’t last… tough people do.’ I heard it from a fan I met on the set of Ramona and Beezus. She had Leukaemia and had just gotten out of the hospital. The fact that a nine-year-old said that – I was like, ‘Wow!’ It stuck with me.”

Sel goes on to talk about her work with UNICEF (she’s the youngest ambassador ever):

On her Unicef sponsored trip to Ghana: “That’s why I feel very honoured to have a voice that kids listen to and take into consideration. I’ve had people asking me, ‘Where is Ghana?’ and Googling it. So, because I went there, they now know about it. Every day 25,000 children die from preventable causes. I stand with UNICEF in the belief that we can change that number from 25,000 to zero. I know we can achieve this because every moment, UNICEF is on the ground providing children with the life-saving assistance needed to ensure zero becomes a reality.”

Check out more at Creme’s page here.

Ramona and Beezus comes to the big screen on July 23rd.

Selena Gomez In Emmy Magazine

Written by Violet on February 23, 2010 – 6:26 pm -

Selena Gomez is a ray of sunshine in the latest issue of Emmy magazine. The Wizards of Waverly Place actress revealed her magical wish list, how much she admires Rachel McAdams and how working with UNICEF has changed her:

On working and doing good for UNICEF: “I’m able to educate my fans, and I was able to educate myself. It was a completely life-changing experience, very humbling for me.”

On Rachel McAdams: “She’s made some very smart choices and she’s never played the same character. She’s done Mean Girls, The Notebook, Red Eye. She was fantastic in all of them. I always go see her movies the first night they open.”

On what she would love to get with a little magic help: “Oh goodness. That’s hard. Man. Well, I think a boyfriend would be nice.”

Maybe Sel did get her magical wish with Nick Jonas?

Selena will be seen on the big screen as big sister Beezus in the adaptation of Beverly Cleary’s Ramona Quimby novels. Ramona and Beezus is out July 23rd.
