Selena Gomez Sides With Pal Taylor Lautner, Joins Team Jacob

• When MTV News posed the classic Twilighter conundrum — Team Edward or Team Jacob? — to Gomez, she went with her pal. “This question is so hard. I don’t know, I like them both,” she told MTV News. “I have to chose one of them? I don’t know, I guess Team Jacob, ’cause I want to be a good friend.”She admitted that she came to the saga a little late. It wasn’t until she started hanging out with autner that she watched the flick to see what all the fuss was about. And now, she can’t get enough of it and can’t wait for “New Moon” to hit theaters in November. You can check out the video interview with Selena here.

The Examiner Interviews Justine Wachsberger

• What about New Moon? How was that experience? Justine: It was obviously amazing. Quite intimidating at first, but all the actors are really cool and really put me at ease. The director is absolutely awesome, Chris. I really had a great time, it was one of the best experiences so far. Just to be a part of that whole phenomenon. Was there a huge reaction when you got the role? Justine: I was shocked, I was so excited. I was like, this might be the move I needed to start my career. I haven’t been in that many movies, so it was a great start for my career. To start your career with something like that. It obviously opened doors for me, so the second I found that out, I was like “wow I’m finally going to be able to go into auditions.” Before that, I couldn’t even walk into an audition. I was completely taken away. You can read the entire interview with Justine over at The Examiner here.
