'I feel pressure to fit in:' Selena Gomez on life as a young star in Hollywood

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER



Fresh faced: The young actress and singer wears a dark eye with a peachy shiny lip gloss

She has already had a successful career that has spanned a decade.



But even Selena Gomez admits to feeling insecure and pressured to conform in Hollywood.



The 19-year-old Disney beauty talked candidly to Glamour magazine about how she deals with being a young celebrity while modelling the fall's hottest beauty trends.

When asked by the magazine if it is hard being young and a Hollywood star, the actress responded: 'Yeah, you have this pressure [to fit in] and you want people to like you. I try my best to be a good person and be the best I can be.'



She takes inspiration from her peers, and become close with her recent Monte Carlo co-stars Leighton Meester and Katie Cassidy.



'I was nervous and intimidated because they are older and had worked on movies before, but they were the best girls I could have been paired up with! They were so sweet and took me under their wing.'

Selena's platinum selling song Who Says, off her new album, contains the lyrics 'Who says you're not star potential?' and the actress admits that she can relate to that having been told that on several occasions.



'I’m 19, so I feel like everything that I’m doing right now should not be taken too seriously. I should be able to have fun and enjoy where I’m at! So I don’t want to spend my time hiding or worrying about all of that.'



Yet the star has been threatened, on several occasions by hardcore Bieber fans.



'Yeah, I’m human, so of course certain things sometimes hurt. I just laugh at it,' she says.

Jedward as you've never seen them before: Singers pose as bruised and battered victims for anti-bullying campaign

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER



Jedward as you've never seen them before: Former X Factor stars John and Edward Grimes are seen bruised and battered in a new anti-bullying campaign



They can usually be seen bounding around the stage in outrageous outfits performing a variety of catchy tunes.



But in a hard-hitting campaign against bullying, Jedward are seen posing as assault victims, looking bruised and battered in the shots launched by children's campaigners.



X Factor judge Louis Walsh, Westlife star Mark Feehily, MTV presenter Laura Whitmore and actress Saoirse Ronan have also been photographed as part of the series of images launched by the Irish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (ISPCC).





Bold and bright: The twins as they usually are, bounding around the stage at this year's Eurovision





Westlife singer Feehily, who came up with the idea, said he was inspired by his own personal experiences of bullying when he was younger.



He said: 'I know at first hand how the impact of being bullied as a teenager can quite literally last a lifetime and I thought that if we could involve well-known ISPCC ambassadors perhaps people will think twice about bullying or indeed allowing bullying to happen.'



All those who took part in the campaign gave their services for free, including the celebrities, photographer Barry McCall, make-up artist Tom McInerney and several advertising agencies.





Bruised and battered: Louis Walsh and Westlife singer Mark Feehily also lent their support to the campaign





Last year Ireland's Childline service received around 2,300 calls and messages everyday from young people, with almost a quarter of these contacts relating to abuse and welfare, including bullying and issues around mental health.



ISPCC chief executive Ashley Balbirnie said: 'We are very grateful to Mark Feehily and our ambassadors for their support in raising awareness of this important issue.'
