And thus the circle was squared: Your second sentence essentially answers—or at least partially answers—your question.
Tweens love Selena Gomez because—aside from her hit show (Wizards of Waverly Place, people) and music, of course—she offers just enough bubblegum intrigue to reel you in without grossing you out.

Why did Ashley Tisdale cover Rick Astley's classic song "Never Gonna Give You Up"? Ashley's version is terrible, and I can't think of a possible reason for her to cover it.
—Jeremy, Oregon
The song was one of four covers recorded as part of an exclusive deal to shill Degree deodorant. You really don't think she'd bark out that tired Rickrolling anthem unless there was money behind it, did you? Onward, with more of your Burning Q's!
Who is generally known for having the most smarts in Hollywood? Book smarts, not street smarts. We all know Marky Mark has the street smarts.
