Selena Gomez May Be Taking Miley Cyrus’ Spotlight on Disney?

7 May

Is the onscreen competition between Miley Cyrus and fellow tween Disney sensation Selena Gomez about to get real?

I’m told Disney executives are so worried about Cyrus’ recent controversies that, more than ever, they want to make Gomez an even bigger star.

The 15-year-old Gomez now stars in the Disney Channel hit Wizards of Waverly Place, but last year she appeared on two episodes of Hannah Montana as Mikayla, one of Hannah’s pop star rivals.

Selena sings and acts and is really young,” a source reports. “She is going to be the next Miley Cyrus. [Disney executives] really want this.”

Next up for Gomez is the Warner Bros. movie Another Cinderella Story, scheduled for a fall release. No surprise, but I’ve just learned that Gomez has recorded several new songs for the flick.

The studio has high hopes for this,” says my source.

But a Disney rep insists there are no plans to try and replace Cyrus in any way with Gomez.

We are fortunate to work with a host of young actors and actresses who are each unique and making their own trajectory based on their talent,” the rep said via email this morning. “However, Wizards of Waverly Place is a bona fide hit with kids and families, and licensees and retailers are indeed interested in the series. As for Selena, she deserves all the success that’s coming her way.”

Note to Gomez: If Vanity Fair comes calling, wait a few years before calling them back.

    Miley can go get a shovel, dig a hole, climb in and DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! she is soooo annoying and doesn’t deserve the role model pedastal. she’s as bad as britney spears, and she’s going to get worse as she gets older. i have a 3 year old cousin who adores her. is this really what we want for our sisters, our cousins our friends? Do we want them to be let down by this slut? selena gomez on the other hand, is an extremely good canadate. she’s pretty down to earth, same with demi lovato. she’s pretty cool too. i’m not gonna like her after the movie, she kisses joe Jonas… grrrrrrrrrrr.

    MILEY CYRUS NEEDS TO LEAVE THE CELEBRITY BUISNESS!!!!!!!

    Go Gomez!

    Cyrus is already showing that she may trek down the same path as Britney Spears and all the other fallen celebrities.

    -sigh-

    And she’s supposed to be a role model? PLEASE. Fifteen is still the age of a child. Let her grow up first.

  32. angel June 8, 2008 at 9:37 am #

    I totally agree
    she’s such a kid and she landed with Nick Jonas.
    he must of spotted DESPERATE and tried to boost her confedence

  33. truejbfan14 June 11, 2008 at 4:22 pm #

    miley’s going down a path of no return. can’t say i’ll miss her!

    nick jonas was duped, like the rest of us. she was painted as a sweet, strong and funny person. i’m SO glad the truth is starting to show. i’m sure Nick found out what a JOKE she was while they were on tour together. sigh, i feel so bad for them. she MUST have been a pain!

    miley’s a lost cause. selena gomez is ready to take over. i just hope she’s as honest as she appears. i don’t think we can take another Miley/Britney in hollywood.

    LUV YOU SELENA, JONAS BROTHERS AND ALL THE MILEY HATERS OF THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  34. SHANNON June 11, 2008 at 10:07 pm #

    hey ima jus give mi opinion so wat who cares that miley did that photo shoot with vanity fair, itz not like it was revealing AT ALL!!!! People wear shirtz & dresses wit
    low backs like that ALL THE TIME, including me. Itz not slutty, if u think thatz slutty then u must think selena gomez and basically All the other female celebs there r are sluts 2 well they wear shirts like that maybe u shud call them sluts and whores and hoes on websites 2

  35. Wouldn't you like to know? June 13, 2008 at 8:16 am #

    To Shannon :

    Let me just say that in the Vanity Fair photo : That was not a shirt, it was a -sheet-.

    And although she may not have been completely nude, the way the photo was taken made it appear that way unto which now people will see her as a skanky ho.

    And the only reason she’s sorry for it is because she saw the way people reacted towards it.

    It’s slutty if you’re still a freaking -child-.

  36. Daniela June 16, 2008 at 12:16 am #

    I think Selena should have the spotlight because she doesn’t nude her self like Miley.

  37. truejbfan14 July 13, 2008 at 3:49 pm #

    still supporting selena!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    miley’s slipping into her “britney” act!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    jobros are taking over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    rock on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    : )

  38. Miley rox July 20, 2008 at 11:32 pm #

    I think selena is trying 2 hard 2 be perfect.I really thought Miley should have been in camp rock instead of Demi Lovato.Miley has a way better voice.So all of u Hannah/Miley haterz leave her alone.

    hey cool selena

  40. chela May 26, 2009 at 9:42 pm #

    I think that miley cyrus is a huge slut. she can just die. I wish she would. Selena Gomez is soooooooo much better. She is talented, and nice, and a good role model. My cousin used to like miley but not no more.

  41. Angel May 27, 2009 at 1:09 am #

    I like Hannah and selena but i think i’m sure who should take the place is selena and Hannha has already shown hu she is!
