Is There Any Real Dirt on Selena Gomez?

How come everybody seems to love Selena Gomez? You can't go anywhere to look for dirt on this girl.
—Andre H.G., via the Answer B!tch inbox
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.
This is not Britney Spears, with her icky bare feet traipsing in and out of public bathrooms, and her erstwhile bald head leering into a paparazzi lens, and her stripper poles, and her...ew. Britney is too much for that crowd. Tweenies just want to watch some TV and, um, hear a cool song, and pretend that their favorite stars are engaged in feuds.
Nobody—except for maybe Demi Lovato or Miley Cyrus—provides a better canvas for that kind of pink sparkly unicorn fantasy.
Exactly what is Selena's magic formula? Well...
Does Jennifer Aniston Only Take Three-Minute Showers?

I heard this really stupid tidbit, that in an effort to save the environment, Jennifer Aniston takes a three-minute shower in which she also brushes her teeth. Is this even possible? What other stupid things to celebs do to be "green"?
—Janine, via Facebook
What other? Hmmm. Selena Gomez recently announced that her yet-to-debut clothing line will be as green as can be. That may not fall under the category of "crazy," but by law anything that Gomez does is certifiably adorable.
If you're looking for celebrities closer to just plain certifiable, sure, I have some examples, including a rock icon who sells renewable grocery bags—at his concerts...
Selena Gomez Gets Her Own Fashion Line

Does Selena Gomez ever sleep?
According to Women's Wear Daily, the Disney star and pop singer is collaborating with a creative team to design Dream Out Loud by Selena Gomez. The line consists of "pretty, feminine and bohemian" clothes and accessories (made of eco-friendly and organic materials, natch) that are similar to the starlet's own aesthetic.
These days when a celebrity announces a fashion venture, we're usually like, "Whatever—join the club, everybody's got one."
But the 17-year-old actress is one of the best-dressed junior fashionistas in Hollywood, and she seems like a genuinely nice young lady, so we're kind of excited to see what she has to offer.
What about you? Would you buy what Selena's selling? Weigh in below!

Selena Gomez may not be able to choose which male Twilight team she's on, but the 17-year-old can sure make decisions when it comes to fashion—spectacular decisions.
So while Joel Madden thinks the Disney star's music rocks, we think her style is killer. Here's how to get Selena's shiny look for less:

Selena knows that a sequin skirt, like Forever 21's mini ($15.80), already commands attention. There's no need to buy it two sizes too small like Miley Cyrus.

Selena Gomez insists it's not easy for her to choose between Team Jacob and Team Edward.
"That's hard," she said last night at the Onitsuka Tiger party for her debut album, Kiss & Tell. "I don't know. I guess it would be Team Jacob because [Taylor Lautner] is my friend, but I do like Team Edward."

They've only been married for a few days after a very short courtship, but are Khloé Kardashian and Lamar Odom already feeling family pressure to pop out some babies?
Khloé's little sisters, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, think it'll happen sooner than later.
"I know Khloé has always wanted to have kids, because when me and Kylie were little, she would babysit us," 13-year-old Kendall told us last night at Onitsuka Tiger's record release party for Selena Gomez and the Scene's debut album, Kiss & Tell.
"She was like our second mom," she said. "I know she'll be a great mom."
Kylie, 12, added, "I just can't wait for her to have kids!"
As for how Lamar is fitting into the big Kardashian-Jenner bunch…
Nicole Richie: Svelte New Mom Rocks Concert
Fame Pictures Inc.
That was fast!
Nicole Richie seems to have dropped her baby weight overnight.
She stepped out with her little sister, with Joel Madden in tow, to see Selena Gomez's first show on Saturday.
Even though she gave birth to baby Sparrow about two weeks ago, she looks seriously svelte in a black silk romper and sky-high heels.
Although it was a girlie outing for Nic and her little sister, Joel seems to be a Selena fan, too...

Taylor Lautner Blames Fans for Romantic Robsten
Teen Vogue
As the unofficial mouthpiece for all things Twilight, Taylor Lautner has been standing among the (wolf) pack of teen stars as its most articulate and well-poised. Yay for Team Jacob fanggirls!
But the half-naked New Moon babe is also an ace at being short-winded when he needs to be. Boo for fanggirls!
For his handsome, GQ-in-training cover shoot for Teen Vogue, he comes up with some clever ways to say "no comment," when questioned about Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson's romance, as well as his own with Selena Gomez.
Miley, Demi, Selena & the JoBros Are the World
No need to pinch yourselves, tweeners. You're not dreaming.
Disney has gathered its brightest stars, Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez and the Jonas Brothers for a "We Are the World"-like music video for Friends for Change: Project Green. "Send It On" is meant to unite the kiddies in green living and protecting planet Earth.
That's probably why they ditch the big stage and energy-sucking bright lights for the great outdoors. At first, we were really distracted by the oh-so-convenient intimate pairing of Miley and Nick Jonas. And then we were bugged by Joe Jonas wearing yet another pink shirt and impressed with Selena out-adorabling the lot of them. But we guess there was some sort of charitable point.
Somehow, though, the whole thing seems far less poignant than Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie and tons of other major stars teaming up for humanitarian aid in Africa. Maybe that's because it had nothing to do with powerful mice.
