Selena Gomez: Selena Gomez plays a brujita on television, but the “Wizards of Waverly Place” actress is a world renown hero in la vida real. How exactly does a 16-year-old chica conquer that role? The Disney star remains a loyal advocate to a handful of organizations, including the political initiative UR Votes Count, the youth rescue foundation AmberWatch, UNICEF, and the animal rights group Conservation International, among others. Selena joined several Latina social activists like Cameron Diaz, Christina Aguilera, and Salma Hayek in honoring CNN’s Top 10 Heroes of 2008 at Kodak Theatre in Hollywood yesterday. We know our chiquita was secretly hoping to bump into her idol Salma again! She exclusively told Blogamole about the first time she ever met the Mexican actress: I was actually having a heart attack not too long ago because I got to visit Salma Hayek at her office. I was so excited to meet her because when I was younger my family, and my dad in particular loved Salma. He always thought she was beautiful and even had a poster of her. I was like a little kid when I saw her…it was so exciting. Yep, Ms. Hayek is a pretty big deal. That mamacita is the mother load of philanthropy! Sounds like Selena has learned from the best.
