Selena Gomez Cosmopolitan Cover: Former Disney Star Is All Grown Up (PHOTO)

March 2012 Selena Gomez

If there was any doubt Selena Gomez is ready to leave her Disney image behind her, just check out her decidedly grown up photo shoot for Cosmopolitan magazine.

The actress and popstar wears a cleavage-baring dress on the cover of the magazine's March issue, and dishes on her relationship with teen heartthrob Justin Bieber.

"I'm just like every 19-year-old girl. If you're in love, you're in love to the fullest, and you just want to go to the movies, hang out, and be as normal as possible," she told the magazine. "I'm fortunate that I've found someone who has that philosophy."

Fresh off of wrapping a five-year run on her hit Disney series, "Wizards Of Waverly Place," Gomez has been slowly introducing a more adult image to her fans. First came the sexy stage costumes and now she's trying her hand at more "edgy" roles, like the upcoming "Spring Breakers," directed by Harmony Korine.

Gomez stars alongside Ashley Benson and James Franco, in the film which follows a group of college girls on a wayward adventure that includes robbing a fast food restaurant and getting involved with a murderous drug dealer. "Princesss Protection Program" it is not.

The March issue of Cosmopolitan hits newsstands Feb. 7th.

someone said something about Disney being a pimp. as i understand it FROM READING ABOUT PIMPS (not experience), pimps get momey FROM the girls. i believe Disney gives money TO the girls. i see all these "philosophical" or "psychoanalytical" comments which i am not going to respond to. all i see is a jaw droppingly beautiful girl that i will never meet. i rank her a close second on the Disney Channel. guess who i think is first - bet you won't

People are upset because she is not upholding an image they want her to. That's what happens when you start putting people on a pedestal. She has no responsibility whatsoever to fit into anyone's expectations. You will be quite disappointed if you want people, especially those you don't know, to behave in a mold you cast them in, and celebrities are encouraged to push the envelope to catch people's attention, whether sad or not. So anyone who is distressed by someone elses actions, it's their issue and not the other person's. It's another reminder that we all must be careful not to make idols of anyone, or anything, and try to pass that on to our children.

I think she should absolutely be able to change her image from innocent girl to sexy woman. My problem is the entire composition. Here you have a personality that many tween girls like. They've watched her on WWP and are now listening to her music. I was in the grocery store with my 10 year old daughter today and cringed as she looked at this photo: a young girl she admires in a provocative pose surrounded by sexual language such as "sex" and "orgasm." Then there's the obvious body-image issues just the cover alone promotes. This is not a fashion magazine. This is a smut magazine that supports unrealistic expectations about how young women should look and behave.

Thank you! You said exactly what I was thinking and I had the exact experience you had with my own ten year old daughter who idolizes her. And YES that magazine is complete SMUT. We are not talking about the cover of Vogue or Glamour. We're talking about a magazine that has "What's Your Best Orgasm Face" and "Bad Girl Sex" as highlights on the cover. Not a good move for someone so talented to make if she wants to be taken seriously. Sorry Selena. I hope this was your agent's idea and not yours. (That's what I told my disappointed daughter).

She is WAY too skinny

I guess"All Grown Up" means you get to show your pushed up cleavage and show some inner thigh for a woman. Wonder what it means when your a "Grown Up" man?

I would have waited a couple of years to be on Cosmo, but -obviously- she's trying to shed the Disney image. She looks very pretty...she's an attractive girl, but she's not yet a woman.

OMG people, like seriously does this look provocative to you? No, she seems like the only Disney channel star that hasn't lost her mind. Its just a pic, yall act like she is butt naked on Playboy. She's doing what she loves with no stopping. Let the girl be

I don't buy magazines with pics of teenagers on them. She is technically an adult but come on, not really. She is a very pretty girl, but better suited on Teen Vogue or Seventeen.

She is a beautiful young lady with a decdent reputation still in place ... i hope she does not become another 'teen star'.. several blondes, et al come to mind. Stupid and cheap comes to mind ..
Don't go there Selena !

I think that it's personally disgusting to look at this girl in a "sexy" way. Yeah she is legal but she still has the face and body of a 15 year old girl.

yup imp with big knockers, lol..

how about miley? she looks just as young and is actually younger
01:30 PM on 02/01/2012
You are absolutely right about that!!! She is no better! Actually she may be worse.

She could do better than Cosmopolitan, but then again, I don't have respect for any fashion magazine.
