Selena Gomez may have spilled the beans months ago but here she finally is — on the June/July 2009 cover of Teen Vogue, on stands May 19th.
With upcoming made-for-TV movies The Wizards of Waverly Place and Princess Protection Program, the 16-year-old Disney starlet is racing up the Hollywood ladder. But as magical as her life is, Sel is quite the realist: “I like to dream, but I also like to be realistic. Sometimes, when something is so nice and sweet, I just crush it. I don’t mean to, but I don’t want to be let down.”
PPP mirrors the supportive relationship Selena and BFF Demi Lovato have: “We’re both surrounded by adults 24/7, and we have to act professional, but when we’re together we can just be sixteen. We watch movies, talk about boys, and do each other’s hair and makeup.”
As far as love goes, Ms. Gomez admits that what she looks for in a boyfriend has changed a lot lately. With one serious relationship behind her—she dated super famous Nick Jonas—she happily confesses: “I used to say that I wanted someone cute and nice, an actor too, so he’d get it. But now I think it would be good for me to date someone who’s not in the business. I want someone honest, someone who’s very sweet to my family and friends, and polite to the other people around me. Being cool, having a ‘cool’ energy, is just not attractive to me… I want what I deny. I want someone who is crazy about me, who treats me like a princess. I want the picture-perfect fairy-tale stuff.”
