Disney's Selena Gomez Has Big Shoes to Fill

Whit Honea — Mon, 19 May 2008 15:28:00 GMT

Selena Gomez has been all but crowned the next 'it' teen for Disney. This is a long and impressive list, and it is also a very checkered one.

Remember when it was generally accepted that Christina Aguilera was the bad one and that Britney Spears was golden? Time is funny, isn't it? The thing is, the press loves to make a big deal about the troubles of the Disney teen idol (the girls that is, you don't hear anything about Justin Timberlake or Zac Efron- apparently gender is funny, too), but for every Lindsay Lohan spreading stank in her wake there is a Hilary Duff working hard and doing it right. For every Vanessa Anne Hudgens there is an Anne Hathaway.

The most recent young lady to sit the throne, Miley Cyrus, is in a bit of PR spin, but let's be frank, she hasn't done anything wrong. She isn't doing drugs or endangering small children. Sure, there have been pictures released that may cast question on her judgment, but hey, she wasn't nude. She's just a teenager doing teenage stuff, but unlike most kids she's filthy rich and living under a microscope. It's hard to believe the commotion a few artsy photos caused when one channel over an equally young teenage star is about ready to have a baby. Isn't that a bit more scandalous?

So, the question is, will Miss Gomez be pregnant and in rehab before sweeps week or will she be able to stay the path despite the lures and pitfalls it offers?

Her parents swear she'll be okay, and like other well-meaning showbiz parents before them are putting themselves in the position to either protect their daughter or make total asses of themselves. Hey, it happens.

According to People, Selena's mother Mandy Teefey claims that she (along with Selena's dad) will keep her daughter out of trouble. For instance, she has a midnight curfew (or earlier) and never attends events without a parent. She is also held accountable with duties around the house. Says Teefey, "If she cooks, I clean. If I cook, she cleans. She has to help feed the dogs. There are really no set chores. We just all pitch in when needed."

We hear this talk from parents all the time. I hope they manage to avoid the trappings of the limelight and don't go the way of the Lohans. I really don't want to be searching for this post in 8 months as a reference to the calm before the storm.

Good luck, Selena, to you and your family.

Heath Ledger & Lindsay Lohan Gettin' It On?

Sassy Smith — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 19:04:00 GMT

Is The Joker, Heath Ledger doing the nasty with Lindsay Lohan? Hell, look at them, they totally look like a hot, gettin' it on couple right?

Reportedly, Ledger and Mean Girls star, Lindsay Lohan are said to have had some late night sex sessions after meeting at the New York Beatrice Inn during the Thanksgiving holiday.

A source said to Austrailia's New Weekly magazine, "Lindsay and Heath hit it off straight away. When she left the club she started texting him straight away and they hooked up a few times while she was still in New York. They were meeting late at night for sex. It was purely physical." Ya, like we thought it would be something deep.

Lohan recently split with her boyfriend, snowboarder Riley Giles- maybe she dumped him because she wanted more from Heath than just sex? Nah. She's just a ~~tramp~~ great actress and she was apparently tired of Giles' jealousy. Maybe he wouldn't be jealous if you weren't bangin' Heath Ledger. Just an observation.

Heath, who split from his girlfriend and mother of his daughter, Michelle Williams, for his part, has been quite busy in the "getting busy with the ladies" department. He's been linked to former supermodel Helena Christensen and has been seen out and about on the New York party circuit, flirting and "making out" with a bunch of different women.

Sources reveal that Ledger has been also trying to woo actress Heather Graham and Australian supermodel Gemma Ward. Busy dude.

"He's following Gemma around everywhere. He somehow finds out where she is going to be and then miraculously shows up to the parties or bars where she is," the New York Post quoted the source.

Heath was flirting with Heather Graham on a night out and she "happily" talked to him.

"He ignored everyone except Heather and then told her, 'We should hang out sometime.' She agreed, they exchanged numbers, but then he just bolted. He was basically only there to pick up a chick," a source revealed.

Reps for Ledger would not comment on the matter. No, really? What would they say, "Oh yes, well Heath is a bit of a MAN WHORE."
