Hey everyone-- May 5th, 2008

So here is my first diary, I am not totally sure how this is going to work just yet. I will get on here as much as possible and update everyone as to what has happened since the last time I posted a message. As you can see the blog idea won, from the "need your opinion" bulletin that I sent out. I will probably post each diary with a date and seperate them with a starred line ********* like that. After a few diary entries I will recycle back to the top and delete the oldest post.

Well the DC Games were soooo much fun. There was a lot of press to do there as well so, it made the days kinda long but it was a lot of fun and I made a lot of new friends. We stayed at the Animal Kingdom Lodge and I saw a giraffe, zebra, texas longhorn, and a kangaroo. There were people who camped out and slept in the lobby just waiting to catch a glimpse of the Jonas Brothers, I could not believe how many people there were. The finale was a concert on Saturday night. Miley opened, than Jordan Pruitt, Cheetah Girls, DEMI LOVATO, and the Jonas Brothers. The concert was great it rained a little bit but, no one seemed to mind. I was so happy for Demi it was her first live performance in front of a crowd that big and she did amazing.

Today I went into the studio to record a song for Another Cinderella Story.

Hello-- May 7th, 2008

So yesterday I did a photo shoot with Demi for promo pics of PPP. We had so much fun, it started around 11am and we got finished around 3:30pm. We did a couple of interviews and about 5 different set ups for the pics. Demi is in town for a few weeks finishing up her album, hopefully I will be able to make into the studio with her to see how it sounds.

After the photoshoot My mom, step-dad, and I went and looked at a couple of houses because I think we might move from where we are right now. We found a really pretty one, well just have to wait and see.

Then we had a cast dinner welcoming everyone back to Wizards. The whole cast was there along with all the writers and the executives. There were probably close to 40 people there. We ate at a place called One Sunset, the food was so good but they gave us soooo much food. It jsut kept coming and coming. It was really nice to see everyone, eventhough I saw most of the cast at the DC Games butm to have all of use together in the same room was a lot of fun.

TODAY... was the first table read for season 2 of Wizards. The table read went great and then I was pretty much off to school from that point on I have a book reort that I am a little bit behind so I have to do the school work I am scheduled to do plus catch up on the book report, UGGHH!!!!

Hey-- May 12th

I hope all the Moms had a great Mother's Day. So to catch everyone up, Saturday I had a photoshoot with Demi for the cover of TEEN MAGAZINE. AHHHHH!!!!!!! It's our first big cover together. We had a lot of fun as always. I cannot wait for you all to see the cover, I think it is going to come out so cool. Then we went and looked at more houses to try to move into, WOOOO HOOO so much fun!!! Hopefully I laid the sarcasm on thick enough. We did not find anything that was good and the pretty one that I liked did not happen so.....

Sunday I had to go to the studio to record some audio for Another Cinderella Story. Oh my gosh, I love this movie, it is so cute and soooo funny. Jane Lynch is hilarious she plays my step-mother in the movie. I got to see most of the movie again, it made me sad and miss everyone sooo sooo much. We had so much fun shooting that movie everyone was so great. I can't wait for you guys to see it, I am soo excited. Then we did some furniture shopping for the house, nothing big just a few odds and ends that my mom needed. Then I took my mom to her favorite Italian restraunt Oliva's. Our waiter looked like Patrick Dempsey from Grey's Anatomy, I even told him and asked him if he got that a lot and he got a little upset and said, "yes all the time". Our food was really good I got a spaghetti with shrimp in it, I LOVE SHRIMP!!!!! It was really good.

Hello All-- May 14th

Yesterday was the first live taping of Wizards of Waverly Place season 2. We had a lot of fun, you can see we have all been together for quite some time. Everyone is adding their own little comedy on top of their written lines which makes for some very funny stuff. We had a completely filled audience and they were so energetic which helps us out a lot. Not a whole lot has happened the last couple of days so this one is really short.
**************************************************************

Hey Everybody-- May 18th

I went to Kids Mix 94.1 in Las Vegas Saturday. We flew in Friday night and went out to dinner at Rumjungle, the food was really good. My friend Meaghan from Camp Rock met us there with her parents. I got to know her at the DC Games but, she lives in Las Vegas so it was good to meet up with her. Saturday morning we went to this fair that was put on by 94.1, I did an autograph signing there and met so many awesome people there. One girl even brought me Snickers and a jar of pickles, that was so cool. The Snickers melted into one giant candy bar but, it was still good, LOL. Saturday night we went to another dinner at Trader Vic's and then went to LOVE. LOVE is the Cirque Du Soleil performance put on to all Beatles music. It was soooo amazing, I would love to go back and see it again. Now I am home and exhausted so I am just going to hang out with some friends and relax, back to Wizards tommorrow.

Hello-- May 25th

I am so sorry I have been gone from this blog for so long. We filmed another episode of Wizards on Monday and live audience taping on Tuesday. Then we we were sent on a week hiatus, a hiatus for those of who don't know is time off inbetween episodes. We got a week off this time but...... I still had to go to school during that week, UGH!! I am almost done though, about three more weeks and SUMMER VACATION!!!!!!!!! The hiatus week has actaully been pretty busy still because there were other things that I had to do. Jennifer (aka Harper) has been staying at our house for the last 10 days so we have had a lot of fun, as you can see from our youtube video. I had an E News interview to do, I went to Ryan Seacrest and did an interview with him. Friday I went to a drunk driving checkpoint with the Beverly Hills Police Department and watched them run a checkpoint where they randomly pull over people they believe may be driving drunk. There were a ton of kids there from the local schools that go to help out and learn about the importance of NOT drinking and driving. Jennifer and I got to ride in a police car and he turned the sirens on for us too. Saturday my family and I went over a freinds house for a BBQ. It was the first time I had ever played Wii, we played golf, racing, and bowling. Jennifer and I lost most of the time but, we had a lot of fun. Sunday and Monday I actually get to do absolutely nothing and I am so excited about that, I think Jennifer and I are going to see Shia............ in his movie Indiana Jones. Tuesday I am back to school and Wednesday back to Wizards.

Hey-- June 3rd

Not much to tell really, it has kind of been a slow week. We did fly to Hawaii for an autograph signing at the Hawaii 50th State Fair. We got in Friday night, by the time we got unpacked it was about 11pm. We were then up Saturday morning at 8am for a radio show interview promoting the State Fair. After that we had about 4 hours to ourselves, my Mom and I went shopping at the mall that was connected to our hotel. Then we were off to the fair, everyone there was so nice the staff, the fans, and I met Asia Crusie. She did a performance at the fair. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbESnTxUJHU

Hello All-- June 21st

I just wanted to pop in and let you all know I have not forgotten about you. It has been so busy I have barely been able to get on at all. I am just about to leave to go to Disneyland to shoot a Disney 365 so, be on the look out for that. As I am sure you all know by now I was in the new Jonas Brothers "Burning Up" music video. That was so much fun to shoot. I am going to Kansas City June 28th to attend a Wizards soccer game. Thank you all so much for checking in, car is honking gotta go!

GOD Bless,

Sel

Hello Everybody-- June 27th

It was a busy week last week. I had to get up at 6am, UGH to shoot a Disney 365 at Disneyland, I am not sure exactly when it is going to air but I think it will be soon. After that I met with two Radio Disney winners and we had lunch and hung out at Disneyland's ESPN Zone. We finished that around 4pm and had to drive all the way back home. As soon as I got home I had to do a quick change to make it to the Wall-E premiere. It was a very cute movie, you are all gonna like it.

The next day I had a Teen Vogue photoshoot, which is one of my favorite magazines so, that was the coolest photoshoot so far. It was at a house on top of one of the mountains in Malibu. We took the LONG route and had to drive on a one lane road that curved back and forth for like an hour. It was actually a really fun drive though, we had a lot of laughs.

Then of course, I started Wizards and Wednesday I went early in the morning to The Young Actors Camp in Azura, CA. We had a lot of fun there. We did Snapshot, which is a game where you turn your back and begin to describe a loction and specific group of people. The group of people behind you freeze into a pose and when you turn around you have to tell a story explaining the picture. The next game was Machine, we took suggestions of a machine that has not been invented yet and a group of 6 people had to act out a motion of the newly invented machine. It was my job to tell the machine whether to move slower faster or normal speed. The last game was Word Association Sing Along, we all stood in a circle and one person stood in the middle and sang a song. When anyone on the outside could think of a song that connected to the song the person in the middle was singing we ran in there and started singing our song. The Young Actors Camp actually took a field trip to the Wizards set and got to do a Q&A with the cast. I am hopping on a plane tonight to go to an apperance for Radio Disney at a Wizards soccer game in Kansas City. Hope to see some of you there!

Hey-- July 9th

Last time I talked to you all I was leaving to go to Kansas City. We had a really fun time there, it was the first time I have ever watched a soccer game and I really liked it. They did a short autograph signing and then I got to kick the opening ball onto the field. You can see the video on my youtube page www.youtube.com/selenagomez

After Kansas City we got a week of vacation from shooting Wizards and my family and I went to Michigan to see my step-dad's family. My little cousin is so adorable we took the cutest pictures together, she is only about 15 months old. My step-dad's friend has the most gorgeous family-- Hailey, Caden, Ella, Peyton I miss you!!!!!!

We were also only 4 hours away from Toronto so I got to see Demi and the Jonas Brothers kick off their Burning Up Tour. The arena was packed and the show was amazing.We got back Sunday morning and I did some promo photoshoots for Wizards on Monday and Tuesday and now we are back to filming today.

I am also having my very own photoshoot today, where I can be a little bit more of myself. We are going to have so much fun, I hope you guys like the pictures I might even try to make some of them my new headshots to sign. I will have the video camera with me and I will probably have the video up by tonight or tommorrow sometime so be sure to check out the page. www.youtube.com/selenagomez

Talk to you all soon.

Hey everybody-- July 31st

Wow, it has been a long time since I have been on here. I have been really busy with work and I had a lot of family in town. I shot 2 music videos since I was on here last, I had my Sweet 16 and now I am in New York.

My birthday was so much fun, it was held at The Kress in Los Angeles. A lot of my family flew in from Texas for my party. We had 16 people staying at our house, it was crazy. We had air matresses, sleeping bags people were sleeping everywhere. It was so nice to have all my friends and family all in the same place at the same time. It has been a long time since we have all been able to hang out like that. The party was amazing there were black roses everywhere and a HUGE madhatter cake. There was a photo booth there called the flip it was really cool. You take two seperate pictures and it gets put onto one photo, when you move it back and forth it switches from one picture to another. There was a pickle and popcorn station where you could squirt different pickle juices on popcorn, MY FAVORITE!! There was a cotton candy machine, a cupcake station with all sorts of different cupcakes. We had a DJ that played awesome music and everyone danced all night long. I think everyone had a great time. I know I did!!!

I shot a music video for a song that I sang (Tell Me Something I Don't Know) for the movie Another Cinderella Story. I had a lot of fun shooting the video and I hope you all like it.

I shot another music video for a Disney DVD movie about Tinkerbell and her Fairies. I recorded the theme song for the DVD and then they had me shoot a music video for the song. It is a really pretty song and I was so proud to be a part of it. It had an 80 person orchestra, I did not get to record with them but I got to see a video of all them playing together and it was amazing.

Now I am in New York bouncing around from interview to interview. I just got done with Regis and Kelly a little bit ago and now I am at MTV. I have a bunch more to do today too, we woke up at 5:30am and won't get home til about 10:00pm. I have a few more interviews tommorrow but get most of the day to just enjoy New York.

Sorry again it has been so long, I miss you all.

Thank you all so much for all my Birthday wishes, my messages, comments, videos, etc.

God Bless,

Sel

Hello Everyone-- August 25th

I just wanted to stop by and say Hi. There has not been a whole lot going on just doing Wizards. I have had two weekends off in a row and did not do a whole lot which is a good thing. We went and watched a few movies and did a little bit of shopping. Everyone has been calling the new number and that is great I love listening to your messages. I tried to call some people back personally but, I think I did it wrong so I am going to try again later this week. Some of you may know that I did a small sort of contest where I choose one person out of my first 10,000 friends to send a package to once I hit 100,000 friends. I am putting the box together now and have already picked the person I am going to send the box too. Her name is Ellen and she is 15 years old. I have sent her a message and am waiting for her reply so I can send her the box. It is so fun putting this box together for her, I wish I could be there when she opens it. Well I have to run we are filming today and I have to go get into hair and make-up.

Thank you all for your messages, your calls, your love, and your support.

God Bless,

Hey everyone-- Sep. 9th

Hi again! Just stopping in to see how everyone is doing. Still shooting season 2 of Wizards and were having so much fun. I cannot wait for you to see all the new episodes. That is basically about it we did have a hiatus and I met up with Demi to hang out with her on her tour, that was so much fun. I actually learned a lot about how tough it is being on the road. Disney also sent the cast out to New York for a big meet and greet, that was a lot of fun, the whole cast being able to go together. We have so much fun when were all together it is like another little family I have. There were soo many people there, all the fans were amazing, some even had to stand in the pouring rain and they still waited. Unfortunately, they also made us leave before we got to meet everyone so a lot of people waited and didn't even get to meet the cast. :( I am so sorry to all those people, I just want to send out a big THANK YOU!!!! to everyone that was there, those we got to meet and those we didn't. Thats all I have for now, there have been some business meetings and stuff like that but, that is all really boring. HA HA!

You are all amazing! Thank You!

God Bless,

Sel

Hello Everybody--  November 2nd

I know it has been too long since I have been on here.  A lot of stuff has been going on and I have not had a whole lot of time to get on here to fill you guys in.  As some of you may already know I was in New York for Trick or Treat for Unicef, which is a great program educating kids to help other kids in other parts of the world, I know it may be a little late for Halloween but, check out the site and be ready for next year.   http://youth.unicefusa.org/trickortreat/

I have also been back and forth to New York for a few talk shows Rachel Ray, The View, The Today Show.  I LOVE New York, it is such a great city the energy is amazing.  I will be going to Dallas this upcoming weekend to help support my cousins cheerleading charity event.  I can't wait to see all my friends and family from back home, it has been far too long since I have been home.

Also, last night I went to the Jason Mraz concert at the Greek Theater, by far one of the best concerts I have ever been to, he is amazing.  If you have not already gotten his new album be sure to go pick up a copy and one of my favorites songs is "Lucky".  I cannot even explain what a great show it was I was so happy to have been there.

Well I am finally 16 as some of you may know but, still no license not even a permit yet but......  I will be taking my drivers education test at the DMV November 4th.  Wish me luck, I am nervous.  When I pass I will have my permit and then have to drive around with my Mom and step Dad for 6 months before I get my actual license, I am guessing I will be 30 by the time I get it.

I cannot wait for the Holidays, I will be spending Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years with my family.  The Holidays were cut short last year because of Another Cinderella Story shooting but, this year I have nothing in the way.  I can't wait.  My favorite time of year Fall to Christmas!

Sorry again it has been so long.

Thank you all so much for everything your messages, comments, your calls, on here and on the youtube.  I read them often and it means the world to me to have you all in my life.

God Bless,

Sel
