Getting more and more attention by the day, Disney Channel star Selena Gomez was spotted hamming it up for the cameras as she left the Pop Factory in West Hollywood on Thursday (July 10).

There for Todd Goldman’s “Stupid Art Show,” the Disney up-and-comer was reportedly surprised that the paps recognized her, but seemed to be enjoying the attention as she and her family posed up for pictures.

Meanwhile, Miss Gomez recently heaped praise on her fellow Disney star and BFF Demi Lovato, telling press how the two help to keep each other on an even keel.

Selena tells: “I’m not confident in myself, so I get down on myself and I believe some of the online stuff. Demi’s the kind of person who is honest with me, and there to support me and tell me, ‘Don’t listen to that. Know who you are.’”

Gomez adds: “And that really means a lot to me – because she’s honest with me and really harsh, but she does it because she loves me.”
