Selena Gomez & The Scene are out with the music video to their new single ‘Hit The Lights’, the third release from the pop group’s third studio album ‘When the Sun Goes Down’, out now on Hollywood Records.

“[The video is] saying that I’m at the point where I’m having fun with it. I’m not trying to be older. I’m not trying to be younger. I’m trying to explain where I’m at in my life, and I feel like that’s what describes it, and having fun with my friends and it was beautiful and it was simple,” Gomez told MTV News. “I thought it was nice.”

Selena Gomez joined two of her biggest fans in a pair of new YouTube videos. Join Dream Out Loud contest winners Jessica and Lisa as they embark on the trip of a lifetime to a Selena Gomez concert, where they’re treated to special VIP access to Selena’s soundcheck.

Episode one features the girls, each joined by a friend, talking about the contest and their entries, questions they’d have for the singer and actress, and highlights from the soundcheck. The second episode has the girls going backstage and getting a bit tongue-tied when she asked if they had any questions. They then took some photographs with the star and talked about the experience meeting their idol.

Watch both episodes below.

Selena Gomez spoke with Johnjay and Rich on Friday (October 14), helping the morning DJs announce their 2011 ‘Phooson’ concert in December. During the interview, Selena revealed she has a little crush on Ryan Gosling, preferring him over fellow actor Ryan Reynolds. “I think Ryan Reynolds is really funny and very attractive, but for some reason I kinda go with Ryan [Gosling's] quirky, kind of cool look,” Gomez explained. The teen added that despite her own fame and ability to meet just about anyone famous, she “doesn’t want to be that creepy person that’s like ‘Let me get my connections’ or something like that, I just kinda want it to be natural like if I go to a premiere and see him I think that would be way cooler to have that surprise factor as opposed to having it set up.” Download and listen to the interview here.

Selena Gomez, currently starring in ‘Monte Carlo’, was on the phone with the syndicated radio morning show “Johnjay and Rich” on Tuesday (July 5) to play her new single and talk about the movie and her latest album ‘When the Sun Goes Down’. During the interview, the topic turned to the recent picture of Selena and boyfriend Justin Bieber where Justin is seen massaging Selena’s foot.

“That was someone who took a picture and it got online somehow,” Gomez said. “It’s very aggravating. Not just about that, but about pictures in general. I mean I can be out to eat and now everyone has camera phones and everything and people are taking pictures of you when you’re eating and it’s just like you always have to be aware, and it’s very annoying because you have to look around and be paranoid in a way and I don’t want to live my life like that.”

As for how she addresses rumors – or not – Selena said, “A rumor is a rumor and it will be gone in a week and it won’t even matter. It makes it worse if you sit there and acknowledge it and dwell on it. Then it becomes a topic of discussion and it’s just really annoying.”

CBSNews.com’s Ken Lombardi spoke with Selena Gomez at the New York red carpet premiere of her film ‘Monte Carlo’, where the 18-year-old singer and actress was joined by her boyfriend Justin Bieber, whose attendance was in doubt because of an altercation with a plain clothes police officer.

“It was insane. It was beautiful,” Gomez said about filming ‘Monte Carlo’ in Europe. “I got to go to Budapest and Paris and Monte Carlo and I worked with the two best girls in Hollywood. I mean they are just wonderful.”

Expdaning on her relationship with co-stars Leighton Meester and Katie Cassidy, Gomez said, “They’re like my older sisters. They know everything about me.”
