Selena Gomez Ditching Disney Crowd With New Movie (VIDEO)

Ah, the infamous transformation from teen queen to sex symbol. The path for young females in the public eye is well-documented. Britney Spears had her “Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman” phase and Miley Cyrus had a slew of racy pictures to back up her claim that she “Can’t Be Tamed.” Now, it’s Selena Gomez‘s turn to show the world that she’s all grown up. Her new film is a huge departure from Wizards of Waverly Place. “Spring Breakers,” is a risqué tale of teenage girls on an alcohol filled Spring Break. James Franco plays a cornrow-wearing drug dealer! See what Selena, 20, has to say about her younger fans while debuting the movie at the Venice Film Festival with costars Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Benson.
