Continuing to succeed in her acting career, Selena Gomez is reportedly taking the lead role in the upcoming film “The Sky is Everywhere,”based on the 2010 book of the same name.

Doing what she can to help others, Selena Gomez hosted her 2nd Annual Charity Concert To Benefit UNICEF at House of Blues Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, California last night (January 20). The 19-year-old posed for pictures in the arrivals area before taking the stage with her The Scene bandmates for an acoustic set after Big Time Rush opened up the show. During her time onstage, Miss Gomez treated concertgoers to renditions of an array of her hit tunes such as “Bang Bang Bang,” “When the Sun Goes Down” and “Love You Like a Love Song”.

Sure to set a new tween trend, Selena Gomez hit up Nine Zero One salon for a new ‘do. The “Wizards of Waverly Place” beauty traded out her long brunette extensions for some shoulder-length blue and violet ones. An insider to told UsWeekly, “Selena added in colored Great Lengths extensions in fun bright colors, because she wanted to add some fun highlights for her upcoming tour.” The star posted a pair of photos of her new look via Instagram and wrote, “Change is good…My girls @ninezeroone take care of me always LOVE.”

She must be sighing a few breaths of relief, as Selena Gomez - who was spotted arriving in Mexico with Justin Bieber on Saturday (January 7) - has seen her stalker be hit with a long-term restraining order. On Friday, a judge smacked Thomas Brodnicki with a three-year order after he, himself, said, “a restraining order should be issued against me to prevent me from trying to contact Selena.” He must’ve had a change of heart, as - back in November - Brodnicki pled not guilty to stalking charges and had his case dismissed

Setting off to delve into what was a busy holiday night in the Big Apple, Selena Gomez was spotted leaving her Manhattan hotel on New Year’s Eve (December 31). First tending to a performance as part of MTV’s NYE in NYC 2012 telecast, the 19-year-old singer/actress was met by a large crowd of gathered fans as she toted a handful of belongings out to an awaiting ride en route to the network’s studios.

Getting out of Tinseltown just ahead of the New Year’s Eve celebrations, Selena Gomez was all prepped for an outbound flight in Los Angeles, CA on Friday (December 30). The “Monte Carlo” cutie toted a red jacket in her arms as she was shielded by a staffer upon entering the LAX Airport terminal alongside a few loved ones. While 2011 ended on a somber note following the loss of her unborn sister, Gomez said she was “humbled” by the successful past twelve months during an interview with MTV

It’s been five years since she landed her dream job on “Wizards of Waverly Place,” and Selena Gomez recently revealed how she spent her very first paycheck. The teen star, whose roots remain grounded, told, “I think [my first paycheck] went into living [in Los Angeles] because we had to move from Texas, so I think we just had to pay for it.” Although she has more than enough to spend now, Gomez went on to say that she’s never been a big spender, admitting that her only splurge was a modest $34,000 Ford Escape she got for her 16th birthday

She’s always been an animal lover, and Selena Gomez is impressed at how much her pooch pal has grown in the past few months.

With her always-busy schedule pushing forth with another night onstage, Selena Gomez performed at the 107.9 ‘The End’ 2011 Jingle Ball at Power Balance Pavilion in Sacramento, California on Thursday night (December 1).

Wrapping up this leg of her Speak Now tour, Taylor Swift rocked Madison Square Garden in New York City last night (November 22). The “Mean” songstress was joined onstage by her gal pal Selena Gomez and they sang their very first duet together (“Who Says”) for the sold out crowd. Also in the house was James Taylor, who performed “Fire and Rain” alongside Miss Swift during the gig and posed for pictures afterwards
