Team Selena Gomez 'finds the good'

This needs to be a bigger post! Finally, an article about something worthwhile that someone in Hollywood is doing...and a "youngster" at that! I hope she continues to "find the good" as she grows up in Hollywood.

My daughter loves her, & her show. I'm so happy to heard she's doing
something positive and setting a good role model for the kids.

ITA. This should be front page way before Jon Gosselin crap. She's only 17 and being one of the few quality role models our kids can find in Hollywood these days.

My daughter loves her and she is getting more and more inspiring.

What a great role model! Her family must be so proud of her.

I agree with all the people that wrote above. She is a very inspiring girl and shes MUCH better then the Jon minus kate crap.

I love her show. It is so wonderful to know that some people still remember the poor.

God Bless

she is doing a good job, raising money for the poor

finally something positive. Selena is an inspiration.
More stories like this less about bs pls.

OMG, i love her. she's a great role model. Her family, friends should be sooooooooo proud of her

She is a Latina girl, I'm proud of her! I wish with all my heart that she will keep walking the straight path in the lost world of Hollywood.

I am showing this to my daughter– we actually saw a taping of Wizards (episode airing 11/6/09) and my daughter met her and held her hands and started crying and would not let go ! Selena said "oh, Thank You Sweetie" and was about to cry as well... class act!

With all the famous teenagers out there right now who have been in and out of trouble. It is so refreshing to see that someone who can be so influential to our kids is out there doing something positive with their lives. She seems like a sweet girl from what I have seen and heard. I just hope she continues to be a positive role model. Great Job Selena. All of us mothers are very proud of you and know you will continue to do great things.

she is so inspiring and a great disney role model. unlike miley,cyrus with all her pole dancing, and her short shorts..miley needs to be kicked out of disney. her and vanessa hugens.
All the Disney stars need to be like Selena and the Jonas Brothers who are great rolemodels (:

I agree with Laura and the others: We need to hear more about positive stories like this! Instead of flaunting what terrible role models other celebrities are in the faces of our youth, let's focus on a positive example. Again, I'd love to see more articles like this one, and they should be front and center!

I'm confused. What does being Latina have to do with anything? She is human and showing compassion to humanity in need. If we could all just see each other as humans and drop the labels, the world would be a better place! You go Selena!!!!

Who cares if she is latina? She is a good role model no matter what her race, good for her!

i am 21 and i absolutely adore Selena Gomez!!!! When I hear about what she is doing at 17 makes me wonder what more I can be doing.... she is the type of person that gives empowerment to teens and thats what they need!!!! She is a beautiful and talented person, I hope she keeps up what she is doing!

Honestly I wish these stars would take some interest in the children in their own country. There are thousands maybe millions of starving, homeless, orphaned children in the inner cities of the United States. I'd be more impressed if she did something for the kids in Detroit or Camden.

Dave, kids in the US are mainly bad-off because their parents are losers and put their needs above their kids.

I know that doesn't make it the kids' fault, but when the parents are that way, often there is little you can do to help and certainly you are not getting at the root cause of the problem.

In other countries people are often poor because their is no economic opportunity and there is nothing they can do to help themselves.

I frankly had the opposite thought – that she had made a good choice to help those who cannot help themselves.

Way to go Selena!!!
Keep up the good work. You are a great role model. Hope more stars could be like you.

I knew this girl was something special the first time I laid eyes on her. She has that "it factor" just so beautiful . She will go far and it looks like she is beautiful inside and out.

More of this, less of the Gosselins.

My youngest adores her show. Would love it if we had more of these type articles circulating the news.

OMG! I am 11 and love Selena Gomez!!!!!! I pet sit and most of my money is going to this UNICEF organization. Selena is like my role model! She is amazing........ i really hope to meet her someday! She is amazing to be doing this for kids and people..... i know if they were doing this to me i would be the happiest kid alive! Selena is so much better then all the other gossip and stuff with the gosslins! Selena should be on the front! We need more of stars like her!

Clara, What in the world does it have to do with her generosity have to do with her being a so-called
Latina. You should be proud that she is a young person who take responsibility and has an open heart, wanting to help others in need.
Hollywood is not inhabited by people, more like animals, who live in a non-realistic world and so far she is on the right track, and hope the temptation in the future won't be to great.

She is a Latina? We never noticed in our house. So racist to bring where a person is genetically based for grouping; this is not a live news broadcast!

Good for her. My children like her and she is not trying to become a model DJ like Anderson Cooper or Rush Beck or the other DJ's.

Your channel usually discriminates againt me. The 1st Amendment is screened out by YOU. But I save every post to show and record how you do it.

This is a nice, right-thinking young woman. Soon, you will screen her out too... if she does not fit your agenda.

Semper Fi.

More young people like this need to take note!!

She obviously has a wonderful set of parents who have actually taken the time to guide her and help show her the importance of giving back instead of trying to recapture their own youth or unlived dreams by living through their Hollywood Children, I would say Selena has really embraced thier guidance. She is a lovely toung woman, Hollywood or not, most children her age are not interested in giving back but in themselves...

Folks – I can't speak for Clara, but I read her comment as a statement of pride.

I think she is hot! I want to marry her!

Magister,

Would it be okay with you/appropriate if I put "He/She is an Anglo!" every time it is reported that a white person did something good? Imagine the comments I would get if I did that! What does it matter if the person doing the good is white, black, pink, or purple? It doesn't! It matters that a human helped another human and Selena needs to be applauded for that. These labels divide us instead of uniting us. Plus there is a double standard for their use. If I differentiated between Anglos, Blacks, and Latinos at school, I would be in big trouble because all of the students are supposed to be treated equally but then, they can be recognized as Latino Student of the Month. Instead of having to guess when it is okay and when it is politically incorrect to use the labels, why don't we just DROP them? The world would be a better place if we saw ourselves and each other as brothers and sisters first...humans rather than what race, religion, or ethnicity we are.

I have a huge crush on her I want to marry her!

Oh goodness. Role model? My butt! She is so stupid. And people, she isn't a latin rolemodel. She is only half, and she does NOT represent us mexicans. She looks like Miley Cyrus, white and full of bologne.

This comment is for those who mention her, as some "role model".

I hope more people act like her. She is a great role model!
