Selena Gomez's Week With 'Glee,' Ethan Hawke And Justin Bieber

The Huffington Post  |  By Posted: 04/ 9/2012 4:33 pm Updated: 04/ 9/2012 4:43 pm

Selena Gomez is having a great week!

The half-Mexican singer/actress is lining up projects left and right, celebrities and TV shows are singing her praises (literally!) and she somehow still finds time to have an open-air picnic with one of the biggest young stars on the planet (her boyfriend, Justin Bieber)!

Here are five reasons Selena Gomez is having the best week ever:

1). She's Going To Be On "Glee:" OK, so Selena isn't technically going to be guest starring on an episode of FOX's hit musical, but according to PerezHilton.com, the Mexican singer's music will be featured on the show! In an upcoming episode, "Glee" star Lea Michele will be singing Selena's hit song "Love You Like A Love Song," and rumor has it, the song is being used in "Glee's" prom episode!

2). James Franco Can't Get Enough of Selena's Music: The cast of 'Glee' aren't the only ones loving Selena Gomez's new music. Actor James Franco couldn't stop mouthing along to Gomez's hit song "Love You Like A Love Song" over the holiday weekend. Check it out, here!

3). She's done with Spring Break: This week, Gomez wrapped filming on her new movie "Spring Breakers," which coincidentally stars James Franco, Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Benson. "That's a wrap on Faith for Spring Breakers!!!!" Selena tweeted. "Whew craziest experience but amazing. Can't wait to see it..."

4). Is Selena the next big action star? According to JustJared.com, Selena is hitting the big screen with Ethan Hawke in a new action movie entitled, "The Getaway." “It’s really, really exciting. I go to Bulgaria and then I start filming. It’s more of an action movie, which is also different,” Gomez recently said during an online video Q & A with fans. The 19-year-old singer, who has had several hit songs in the last two years, told MTV News she plans to take a break from music for a while. “I’m just kind of halting music for a bit,” she said. “[I've] been really focused on more acting. For me it’s been fun to take risks and do things that are completely different.”

5). A picnic with the Biebs: We don't know how she finds the time with her busy acting and music career, but this week, Selena Gomez found time to enjoy a picnic in the park with her boyfriend, Justin Bieber. Que lindos!

Annette Funicello is better looking. Bigger presence even when she was younger.
So sad she has MS right now and has all kinds of problems from it.

Hmmm, this story is in the Latin Voices sub-section of the Culture section, i.e. NOT the Entertainment section. So mentioning that Selena Gomez is Latina [or half-Latina, depending upon how important percentages are to some people] seems completely appropriate.
Mentioning that the subject of an article is of Hispanic ancestry, in a sub-section devoted to highlighting and celebrating Hispanic culture, hardly seems "racist" or inappropriate... to me at least.

She is not Mexican, she is American! My God! WHAT IS WITH THE RACE THING!!!
08:26 AM on 04/10/2012
I think you are are RACIST AS HELL!, Would it be so hard to just say actress Selena Gomez, you have to say the Mexican singer???? First and foremost she is an American and i don't see what her being Half Latino has to do with this post anyway. What is this country getting to, DISGUSTING IS WHAT YOUR ARTICLE IS!!!
