The Summer of Selena Gomez: GIF Party!

This week holds a lot in store for teen idol Selena Gomez! Not only will she release her 3rd album “When the Sun Goes Down” on Tuesday, June 28th and host a live chat on YouTube in honor of the CD, but her movie Monte Carlo also hits theaters on July 1st. The Disney star has been working hard promoting her movie and CD on a mall tour…in between adventures with her beau Justin Bieber.

The live chat will be hosted on Selena’s official YouTube page and feature a Q&A session with fans. Questions can be submitted until the chat begins at 12:15 EST via her YouTube page or by tweeting using the hashtag #HeySelena.

Her new album “When the Sun Goes Down” is a step away from the Disney crowd for Selena, with catchy riffs and techno inspired beats. The music is friendly enough not to leave her young fans behind but is already proving to be a hit among the masses. Her first single “Who Says” is gaining major air time on huge radio stations like KIIS FM and Z100 and new single “Love You Like A Love Song” is one that I wouldn’t mind blasting in the car!

Check out the music video for Selena’s single “Love You Like a Love Song.” It’s SO catchy and the video is a total departure from anything she’s done before!

Monte Carlo is also a step in a different direction for Gomez. Last summer’s Ramona and Beezus definitely catered to her young fans, but this new film looks like it’s going to be a hit with an older crowd. The Princess and the Pauper meets Lizzie McGuire Movie film tells the story of a recent high school grad traveling with friends to Paris and taking the identity of a British heiress, ending up in Monte Carlo. The movie looks totally cute and should be a hit among older teens.

Looks like Selena is lining herself up for an awesome summer! On top of all these exciting events she’ll be hitting the road with longtime friends Allstar Weekend (sans Nathan Darmody!) soon! This must be the Summer of Selena!

This calls for a GIF PARTY!!!

PARTY ON!
