Selena Gomez Talks to DG
Posted October 12th, 2007 by Discovery Girls
It’s the premeire you’ve been waiting for: Wizards of Waverly Place debuts tonight on Disney Channel!
It doesn’t take a wizard to know that one of the show’s stars, the talented Selena Gomez, is slated to put a spell on audiences. We caught up with Ms. Gomez before her big (magical!) Disney Channel debut, and she let us in on how she got her start—and how experiencing success wasn’t always easy. Here’s what she had to say:
Have her friends been supportive of her career? Click here to read DG’s interview with Selena Gomez, and don’t miss the premiere of Wizards of Waverly Place, tonight at 9:30 p.m./8:30c on Disney Channel!
“I told my mom that I wanted to try acting and I ended up doing Barney and Friends, which was shot in Texas. That’s when it happened—I’d miss a couple of weeks for Barney and then I’d go back to school and I’d deal with some jealousy. I wouldn’t talk about the show unless somebody said, “How was your episode?” So not a lot of people were jealous—just this one group of girls who didn’t like me.”
“They have, and they’ve even come out to Los Angeles to see the show. But back in fourth grade when I started acting, I did lose a couple of friends because of the whole jealousy thing. But I look at it like a sport. Some kids play soccer. Acting is my sport.”

Re: I LUV SELENA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can’t believe u missed the premire! It’s THE MOST IMPORTANT EPISODE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who was she on Suite Life? I loved Mykayla’s bratty attitude on both episodes of Hannah she starred in!!!!!!!!!!!!
RE: RE: I LUV SELENA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She was Gwen in the theatre episode of The Suite Life. She was even better in the Wizards premire, though. She was really awesome on Hannah Montana. My favorite was when Jake and Miley were “just friends” and Makayla was in the movie with Jake. She rocks!

It just premiered in Canada and we’ve only seen 2 episodes and I really love Selena. It’s so cool that she started out on Barney. Love the show!
Re: I Love Her and This Show
Really? i never knew she was on Barney. Where did you hear that? She rocks! Keep a lookout for the episode where she charms her parents to get them to let her use magic freely! it rocks!!!!
U GOTTA LUV SELENA!!!
My favorite eposide of the rocking show is when Selena likes Justin’s friends. They invite her to the movie, but she can’t get in because it is rated R. She then uses magic to see the film but she ends up in it. I thought this one was the best, it knocked my socks off!! SmiLEy HAyleY
Go Selena!
I’ve only missed one Wizards of Waverly Place. Alex (Selena) is my favorite charcter! But I really loved her on Hannah Montana. She should be a full-time charcter.
i have seen all the episodes!
i luv the Wizards of Waverly Place! it is a great show! i can’t wait untill a new episode comes out!

SELENA 4EVER
I LOVE SELENA’S SHOW… she was awesome in Hannah Montana and Suite Life. When she was dealing with jealousy about how she was on the Barney Show, this made her more cofident and now the girls that made fun of her are probably sorry they ever teased her.
YAY SELENA
yay 4 selena. she is probably the funniest, most entertaining actress i have ever seen. U Rock!
Hannah Montana
I hope Selena goes on Hannah Montana again! I love when she is on their it’s funny that hannah has a rival!

I love her and she is my idol and to see her here was awsome
selena
She is a good and funny actress. she is really talented.
I love you Selena Gomez
Selena i think youre the best! i really like your style ! You are my idol! I really love your show Wizards of Waverly Place! I cant wait to see you on your new movie call Another Cinderella Story! I love you Selena!
Selena is just plain
Selena is just plain adorable :) She seems really nice as a person too. I really respect her ability to control herself even while being a celebrity.. well, unlike.. some people -_-
