The Busy Life of a Single Mom

Selena Gomez has quickly rose to stardom on Disney Channel. She starred opposite Miley Cyrus as Mikela, Hannah Montana’s enemy and competition, and now stars in her own show Wizards of Waverly Place. In addition, she has branched into the music career (as so many Disney stars are doing) most recently by singing Cruella DeVille for the new release of 101 Dalmations (now a ringtone on my phone).

Gomez is not limiting herself to being a Disney star. She is branching out and trying to establish herself in the acting business as more than a temporary teen star.  You can hear her voice currently in the movie Horton Hears a Who where she plays the role of all 90 of the mayor’s daughters.  She can also be seen in Another Cinderella Story opening April 4th.

Gomez recently turned down a chance to be a part of High School Musical 3. She is quoted saying, “‘High School Musical 3’ is cute, and I think it would be a great opportunity for someone else,” Gómez says. “But I passed on it because I didn’t want to do it. I plan to take other roles in acting that are challenging for me. After Disney, I want to be taken seriously as an actress for many years.”

Selena Gomez sounds like a bright young lady that we may be seeing for a very long time.
