Selena Gomez is a CNN Hero

Selena Gomez is a CNN Hero

Disney starlet Selena Gomez hugs new pal Maria Ruiz from El Paso, Texas after awarding her the HERO award at the Second Annual CNN Heroes: An All Star Tribute held at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood on Saturday.

Several times a week, Ruiz crosses the border into Juarez, Mexico, bringing food, clothing and toys to hundreds of impoverished children and their families. What a heart!

The 16-year-old Wizards of Waverly Place star looked all sophisticated in a ruffled BCBG white top, pencil skirt and simple black pumps!

She looks alright but I think she kinda looks like nelly furtado back when she had a front fringe…I think it was nelly furtado.

I dont mind it but i liked her better with a side fringe

she is sooo trying to imitate vanessa hudgens! vanessa got her hair cut recently - selena is doing it too. and look how she poses on the photos. thats how vanessa is posing ALWAYS, before selena was even popular…. she should get her own look^^

WOW!!! I love Selena from the beginning and I’m always gonna love her!! Her hair is so cute and it’s so perfect for her!!! Her outfits always match her and it’s for her age on being sophistaced! People say that selena is copying miley in ways but unlike miley, selena is trying different things that are good not ****** and bad! Both miley and sel are awesome, but i rather prefer selena who i think cares about the issues… she’s so caring and down to earth!

she probably didn’t really cut her hair so calm down people
it’s probably a hair piece or they moved her bangs over

Selena m’love, you’re hair is really not working for you!

i’m glad she’s at least TRYING something new :)

#46
lovebug @ 3:40 pm on 11/23/2008

& shut up you idiots.

LOTS of people get bangs.
i got them a couple months back, is she copying me too?!

it’s just hair idiots.
stop TRYING to stir stuff up between miley & selena because nothing interessting is happening in you’re pathetic lives.

I totally agree with people saying she is copying Vanessa, V got those bangs before her and now she has them! she totally copies Vanessa its soooo annoying she needs her own look and not copy others!

#51
amanda @ 4:29 pm on 11/23/2008

Krissy Fantasy @ 6:07 pm on 11/23/2008

OMG!
She looks so gorgeous <3
the bangs totally suit her :)
love the outfit as well + with the short little hair cut
precious (L)
lovelovelovelove it!
GO SELENA!

OK all of you shut up!
like seriously
IT’s her style, not yours.
gosh!
pathetic much?
AND who says she’s copying Vanessa and Miley?

OK?
EVERY damn celeb has bangs and short hair..
that’s the new look these days.
so get your facts straight -.-
ASHLEY. VANESSA. MILEY. DEMI. SELENA. EVERY FREAKIN GIRL HAS BANGS!!!

There ALL beautiful- DIFFERENT
talented- and famous girls from ALL OVER
:)
who cares if they have the same hairstyle.
THEY all still like each other and are friends.
They don’t let one haircut start a cat fight.
GOSH.
pathetic losers much, trying to make these come against each other?
=/
i find it stupid, that you guys are trying to make them, against each other, just cuz of one hair cut.
honestly- what morons !

PLUS i even i have bangs + short hair -.-
does that mean..im copying them?
uhhhh…noo…
i got this haircut before all of them!
AT LEAST sel’s’ creating something NEW - minus what all of you have to say.
SHE’s 16 years old- i think she’s old enough to make her own decisions , on her hair, and style.

xoxox
love sel

mariee @ 10:02 pm on 11/23/2008

I don’t think that she’s “copying” vanessa, I mean, she’s young, and maybe vanessa’s her role model…she’s really really young to actually know her own style…she’s trying different things and I understand that…I wanted to be sooo like emma watson when I was younger…until I discovered what was best for me and my body :)

#58
brie2009 @ 1:03 am on 11/24/2008

I like her hair but it doesnt go well with that outfit. If she went with a high poof pony tail or hair let down with curls she would have looked better with that outfit.

#31 THANK YOU!!!!! What the hell is with this all “she copying Vanessa crap” does anybody remember when Selena got her bangs cut first…

http://www.firstclassfashionista.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/selena-gomez-wall-e.jpg

and second of all that’s the way everybody poses in Hollywood!!!!
Look at Taylor swift, Miley Cyrus…Ashley Tisdale….bigger celebrities like Beyonce ….THEY ALL POSE THAT WAY….SO MAYBE THEY ALL ARE COPYING VANESSA!!!!

For Christ Sake!!!!
