15 Times Selena Gomez Showed Us More Than We Could Handle

And let’s not forget Gomez’s continuing friendship with American singer, songwriter, and actress Emily Osment. And then there’s Demi Lovato, with whom in 2009 she recorded "Send It On", a charity single and the theme song for Disney's pro-social "green" initiative Friends for Change, with the Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus.

UNICEF

According to College Candy, in August 2009, 17-year-old Gomez became the youngest UNICEF ambassador ever and she has been with the Children’s Fund ever since playing an active role in popularising the plight of vulnerable children. Over the last eight years she has participated in numerous campaigns and events, travelled to Ghana with the organization and to Chile to meet families in one of the organization's programs.

Gomez also used her online influence to support UNICEF's emergency campaign to save lives in the Sahel region of West and Central Africa by promoting the “Sound the Alarm,” initiative: an international shout-out to raise funds to avert the deaths of a million children from malnutrition. Her proactive involvement seems to have had a profound effect. “To witness first hand these families' struggles and also their hope and perseverance,” she said in a recent interview, “was truly inspiring.”

The Big Screen

After Barney and Friends, things started to gather momentum. Her first role was as Waterpark Girl in the 2003 film “Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over”, then came Walker in “Texas Ranger: Trial by Fire” (2005), Alexa in “House Broken” (2006), Spring Breakers in 2012 and most recently Lisa in “In Dubious Battle” (2016).

Perhaps what is most noticeable and to be applauded is the contrast in her filming credits, from the relatively inauspicious start, to her starring alongside some movie greats. Over just the last few years she has shared stage with the likes of Billy Crudup (“Rudderless”), Paul Rudd (“The Fundamentals of Caring”) and Jim Carrey (“Horton Hears a Who!”); if ever there was an example of where hard work, perseverance and a good deal of sacrifice can get you, this is it.

Taylor Swift

In a 2012 interview, Gomez said of her friendship with Taylor Swift, "we've been friends for 4 years and she has been through so much with me that I will be able to say we're nearly sisters.” But then, after her stint in rehab back in 2014, there looked to be a cooling off in their friendship which precipitated some Gomez pundits to jot down: “There is a few critical ‘bad blood’ at this time between former best pals Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift!”

True, after her rehab, Gomez vowed (or most likely, used to be prompt) to ease off at the highlife, prevent consuming too much gin and orange and smoking, however would this really have integrated binning off her just right buddy? Was Swift any such unhealthy influence? We’ll leave the world’s online zines sweating over that one, but we can document that no matter has came about up to now few years is all water under the bridge, for the pair, consistent with J-14 mag, are still the very best of friends. Whoop Whoop!

Singing Career

Despite pronouncing in January 2012 that she could be taking a damage from her track profession, Gomez proven in October of that yr she was once running on new subject matter. This ended up being her solo album with “Come and Get It” because the lead monitor on the album. It was her first solo album since her workforce Selena Gomez & the Scene and reached number one on the United States Billboard 2 hundred chart the place it bought 97,000 copies in its first week.

Selena Gomez & the Scene launched their final studio album in 2014, with the album's 2d single receiving a 4x Platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA); what’s more, in the following yr, her collaboration with DJ Zedd on the single "I Want You to Know" was Gomez's fourth top twenty entry at the Billboard Hot 100, additionally receiving a platinum certification from the RIAA.

British Accents

All you Brits out there - there’s hope for us all! According to last 12 months’s Mail Online, Selena Gomez “would 'absolutely' date a British man as a result of she is obsessed with the accessory.” The “Hands to Myself” songstress is so enamoured with English accents and tacky chat up strains that she’s cancelled her go back ticket to LA and instead went and acquired a semi in Bridlington (best joking, sorry).

This isn’t the primary time Gomez has had a brush with the best British parlay. Metro reported in 2011 that in preparation for playing the a part of Grace in Thomas Bezucha’s romantic comedy “Monte Carlo”, she had to be told two British accents. She took two weeks out with a vocal coach to absolute best an accent which used to be “to be nearly very Victoria Beckham, roughly very posh and complex.” Did she be successful? You make a decision.

The Tours

Back in 2014, Gomez cancelled her extremely expected Australian excursion, much to the disgruntlement of her adoring lovers. Back then, the singer admitted she had to, “spend a while on myself in an effort to be the best individual I can be”; with a swift apology, the fans never got to peer her perform.

Then, in 2016, after the 30-plus dates of her Revival world tour have been additionally axed, Gomez was reportedly taking some more day out, however this time compelled to acknowledge some problems. The rumours were rife about a way of life issue however, as she was prepared to indicate to People Magazine in the similar year: “As a lot of I have lupus; an sickness that can impact people in several tactics.

“I wish to be proactive and concentrate on keeping up my well being and happiness and have made up our minds that one of the simplest ways ahead is to take some time off. Thank you to all my lovers on your make stronger. You know how special you are to me.” So it appeared the sickness had hit her onerous and forced her to imagine some critical changes but we have been nonetheless left questioning, was once that the only reason...?

Lupus… Or What?

Back in 2014, she was once reportedly attending Dawn at the Meadows rehab facility in Wickenburg, AZ, even though it used to be strongly denied she was once there for treatment of substance abuse. The truth is always laborious to fathom but we no less than know that two years later, the legit line for the worry and string of concert cancellations was Lupus (as discussed above).

However, shortly after the announcement, conflicting studies came out about her the use of the illness as a convenient scapegoat for tiredness or a cover-up for a suspected drug dependancy. “She is the usage of this as an excuse for everything in recent times and in actual fact that she is only a mess at this time,” explained a supply as regards to the singer quoted in the magazine Radar Online.

We don’t think there’s a shred of truth to the rumours but it surely’s worth citing that the American Media-owned Zine goes so far as to signify that her dating with none different than Justin Bieber left her with some critical addiction to, “ a cocktail of Lunesta, Ambien, Klonopin and Xanax”.

Treatment

With dependancy ruled out by means of all however the most sceptical reporters, the query arises about what sort of therapy Gomez gained in the back of closed doors. We’ve found out it’s no longer extraordinary to be taken through a course of behavioural treatment for remedy of Lupus and her admission of the remedy indisputably coincides with her revealing that her panic attacks before performances was a contributory consider her resolution to cancel shows.

"Tours are a really lonely place for me," the 24-year-old stated in an interview for Vogue magazine. "My self-esteem was shot. I was depressed, anxious. I started to have panic attacks right before getting onstage or right after leaving the stage.” It became something she vowed to deal with head-on. The 90 days of therapy she had was an eye-opener by all accounts: "It was one of the toughest issues I've completed, however it used to be the most productive thing I've finished." Good for her, we say.

Bieber

It was never easy to keep-up with the machinations of the relationship between Gomez and Justin Bieber, but keep-up we tried, and discover did we that their time together involved more ups and downs than a window-cleaning session at The Shard building in London. What with acrimonious separations and furtive reunions, it was hard to know whether they were together or not. Bieber wrote songs for her, sang to her in public shows of affection (what’s not to like?) and yet their duet “Strong” from 2012 had already pointed to communication issues.

However, in autumn of 2015 Gomez denied any bad feeling after her seemingly final split from Bieber. She claims she simply, “Isn’t focused on dating right now,” but doesn’t deny the prospect of getting back with him. What? This stuff’s exhausting! And if that wasn’t bad enough, we hear Gomez was still hanging out with Justin even after being seen around town with DJ Zedd long after the announcement. All we’ll say is: Keep your ear to the ground, The Weeknd.

Amanda Dawn "Mandy" Cornett

Let’s turn for a moment to the one who is credited with propelling Gomez to where she is today, namely her mother and former stage actress herself Mandy Cornett (now Mandy Teefey). By all accounts, Teefey was a guiding influence on Gomez who remembers how she “would let me run around and make short films and the entire neighborhood [sic] would audition for me.” It was obvious that in Gomez, Teefey saw the star potential that she herself sadly never realised.

Her devotion to Gomez’s upbringing as an actress - giving up everything she had worked towards and working long hours to afford travel and audition fees - inspired Gomez to follow her own career. However, according to an article in the Mirror in 2010, Teefey treated Gomez no differently to any other and helped ultimately to “keep the young star’s feet firmly on the ground”.

Lover Of Dogs

Well, confirmed dog lover and doggy foster parent Gomez has got our vote. According to close sources, she’s a mummy to six rescue dogs including Willie (Labrador-retriever mix), Wallace (Boxer-Shepard), Fina (Rhodesian ridgeback mix), Chip (Corgi mix), Chazz (Puerto Rican breed), and Baylor (Husky).

Baylor apparently was found on a trip to Canada when she was with Bieber. It was love at first sight, with Baylor at least, as she tells online zine Zimbio "I literally felt like he said my name. So, I had to have him." The other five are also fortunate sufficient to have found a home with a self-confirmed softy queen of rescue animals. Having been raised in a space the place there were numerous abandoned canine, we suppose this may have one thing to do along with her present full family of hounds.
