Singer-actress Selena Gomez never wants to be a role model because she considers herself imperfect and describes her job as “superficial”.
“I never really said I want to be a role model. But then when it happened I was so down for it,” femalefirst.co.uk quoted Gomez as saying.
“I’m human, I’m not perfect. I make mistakes all the time, but I guess my job is to keep those mistakes to myself, which I’m already fine doing and just try to be the best I can be for those kids,” she added.
The 18-year-old, who is recovering from a spell in hospital for “malnourishment” and exhaustion, also said: “This is a very superficial job. I sit in a chair for two hours and get hair and make-up done and talk about myself in interviews. That’s a very vain thing to do. And I do get caught up in it sometimes.”
The final Michael Jackson videos taken before the singer's June 2009 death are so top secret, they were recently transported in an unmarked truck, accompanied by armed guards in the dead of the night, according to court documents.
We know this because Dr. Conrad Murray has filed a motion to gain access to all of the rehearsal videos taken for MJ's ill-fated 'This is It' tour.
Sony, which has possession of the videos, is objecting for several reasons.
Michael Jackson - This is It (Full Trailer)
Plenty of footage was used in the This Is It documentary (see trailer above), but Dr. Murray says ALL of the rehearsal footage is key to his defense.
Murray's lawyers believe that the tapes will show MJ was in frail condition, perhaps proving Murray and Propofol aren't to blame for his demise.
Sony is refusing on logistical grounds, as there are more than 20 boxes of videos and it would cost $200,000 to log and reproduce all of them.
However, Sony also describes how top secret the videos are to the studio, saying that they moved them to their Culver City location 'in an unmarked truck was accompanied by armed guards in the dead of the night.'
When the Jackson tapes were in an editing bay, security guards were posted outside the door and no Internet access was allowed in the room.
The footage has 'monetary value inherent in their potential for future uses,' the studio says, which 'includes one or more 'anniversary editions.''
Murray's involuntary manslaughter trial begins this fall.
"She isn't pregnant. Nor has she come down with Bieber Fever.
Instead, sources say Selena Gomez was rushed to the hospital on Thursday night - and then returned there again yesterday - due to concerns over high blood pressure.
Doctors have not yet discovered the basis for Selena's nausea and headache, which landed her under their care to begin with last week, following an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
She hopes to perform for fans on Monday at Santa Monica Place, which would kick off a 10-city tour for the artist. Let's hope she makes it and is feeling fine!
"Angelina Jolie skinny and frail? Brad Pitt thinks she needs professional help?
'Brad is really concerned with her eating habits,' says the source. 'She's existing on cereal bars and fruit smoothies and has slipped to just 99 pounds. She is so thin yet will still go on a carrot-juice fast for days.'
Brad is 'leaving food out all over the place hoping she'll snack.'
