Vanessa Hudgens and Selena Gomez are “Women to Watch For”

January 5, 2010



As we head into a new decade, who are the young celebrities on whom we should keep an eye?

While this comes as no surprise to THG staff members and readers, Vanity Fair has cited a pair of “Women to Watch Out For.” They are… drumroll in full force… Vanessa Hudgens and Selena Gomez!

Each rising star is interviewed in the magazine. What do they think of fame, fortune and celebrity crushes? A few excerpts from each young beauty are below:

Hudgens, on growing up: “I started off as a super-shy girl, extremely hesitant. Now I’m really growing into my own person. I can actually take care of myself, which my mom thought would never happen.”

Hudgens, on the paparazzi: “It was like, ‘Oh, my God! No way! So cool.’ The second day it happens, it’s like, Never mind. Maybe it’s not as cool as I thought it’s going to be.”

Gomez, on her well-known crush: “I am obsessed with Shia LaBeouf. He’s gorgeous and he’s a phenomenal actor. I haven’t met him — I think I’d have a heart attack if I did. I’ll wait till I’m older so that I can work with him. Maybe I’ll have calmed down by then.”

The February Vanity Fair issue hits comes out on Thursday, January 21.

Just hours after news broke that her fiancée, Casey Johnson, had passed away, Tila Tequila turned to her Twitter page to express her grief. “This is a very heartbreaking time for me.
