OlderSelena Gomez Covers Latina Magazine
Disney starlet Selena Gomez is Latina magazine‘s fresh new face on their April 2009 cover. Here’s what the 16-year-old Wizards of Waverly Place actress opened up about:
On being a teen celebrity, including the perks and the pitfalls that come with it: “I always wanted this to be my life but I don’t want it to live my life for me.”
On admiring Britney Spears: “In a way, Britney can be someone to look up to. She was constantly being looked at and picked on, and it’s starting to happen to me. At the moment, I don’t have anything good they can pick on me with, but they’ll find something. Maybe I can be as strong.”
On being proud of her Latin roots: “I didn’t even realize what a big deal it was to be Latin at first. But then one day being with my dad, it hit me: it’s pretty neat to be Mexican. And there aren’t enough Latinas in Hollywood—or there are, but they don’t get the recognition. So to be able to come out here and use that, it’s really a powerful thing.”
On the so-called feud with fellow Disney star, Miley Cyrus: “I think Miley can agree with me. There are so many more things going on that are so much more important to us in our lives than wasting time on that stuff.”
Selena was spotted shopping at American Eagle Outfitters in Puerto Rico, where she’s filming the Wizards movie.

First to comment!
How is she proud of being Latina? Yeah, it may be in her blood but she knows nothing about her culture, nor language. I’m sure you guys are gonna bash at me but that’s fine.
The only thing latina about her is her last name, so being proud of something you made no effort in is sad. Gee.
I LOVE SELENA! First!
Last names are important. they label you as coming from a certain group. It is nice to know she is proud to belong to a minority community. Because it is hard to do so when you are taught by society there is nothing to be proud of in your heritage. But if she does not know her culture, language (which I doubt) then she needs to learn to appreciate her heritage.
appreciate your culture….. learn about it…… plus you’re not even a Latina!!! you are HISPANIC!!!! learn the difference!!!
OMG. Shes doing a taylor swift smile! it bothers me.
anyone see it too? just to make sure im not crazy

This entire thing is becoming so gimmicky , anyway she is only half Hispanic.
plus you’re not even a Latina!!! you are HISPANIC!!!! learn the difference!!!

WTF? Being Mexican is being Latin/Latino/Latina; if we really want to get all technical about it so are South Americans (most), Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Cubans, Italians, Spanish, pretty much anyone whose language derives from Latin, hence, Latino/Latina.
