Selena Gomez Reveals, 'I Want to Be in Love'

By Katelyn Mullen Posted May 14th 2011 05:00PM

Teen queen Selena Gomez covers the new issue of Teen Vogue, and dishes about her future, her fans and of course, her love life.

From tv and movies, to music and a clothing line, it seems the young starlet is taking the world by storm, and knows she couldn't possibly do it without one thing, her fans.

She recorded her latest single 'Who Says' for them, explaining "I just thought they needed it, because of bullying, I hope it inspires them to be who they are."

During her chat with Teen Vogue, nothing is directly said about boyfriend and pop sensation, Justin Bieber, but she does reveal a little about heartbreak and her current thoughts on love.

"But at this moment in my life, I'm at a point where I want to be in love, to give my all and fall head over heels."

On leaving behind her Disney show and her future career plans: "I'm in a very crucial spot, it's like starting over. I was trying to explain it to one of my friends, and he said 'You'll be fine. People believe in you.' But when they're putting together a movie with Leonardo DiCaprio, I don't think they're going to go 'Selena Gomez would be great for this!' I'm not an option. It's humbling, having to go from this Disney high back down to having to fight for roles."

On the press, her fans and the paparazzi: "A lot of times the paparazzi will try to use them. They'll say 'Your fans want this.' And it's frustrating because my fans are amazing: They love me, they support me. And I do everything for them. But the press? They don't care about me. They just want something on me that they can use. They just want to get that shot."

On love and heartbreak: "When your heart is broken you want to hate everything. You want to say, 'I don't believe in love; this is ridiculous. It's not supposed to hurt this much.' But at this moment in my life, I'm at a point where I want to be in love, to give my all and fall head over heels. I'm eighteen. I'm not going to marry anybody I'm with and I know that. The next heartbreak I have, I'm sure I'll be like, How can I live without this person? But I'm still trying to dive in and enjoy it."

OK...Selena is a cute girl, but that cover is SO over-photoshopped it is a crime. She's unrecognizable.

I agree with you there. That photo of Selena is horrible. It does not make her justice. Why can't the magazine people just leave the pictures that they take alone. Not everyone is perfect & we already know that. Good luck Selena in finding love.

You can say that again.....that cover is a crime!!!!!!

She wants to be in love? So what, so does practically every delusionally romantic woman on earth in one way or another. Good luck with that hon, you're very young and very attractive but will discover soon enough that want you want and what you get often have little to do with one another in this world.

By Marie

What happened to her face?! This is a photoshop FAIL! She doesn't look like herself and that's too bad since she is beautiful. Why do magazines and catalogs feel the need to photoshop people anymore?

Selena Gomez Reveals, 'I Want to Be in Love'.......

Geesh....Think I'm gonna upchuck!

By Traitor

Sad, Selena, i doubt you will never know what true love is.

By Bob

It's reporting like this that earns Pulitzers. The headline just grabbed me and I had to see who writes this garbage! She wants to be in love? Stop the presses! LOL

"The next heartbreak I have, I'm sure I'll be like, How can I live without this person? But I'm still trying to dive in and enjoy it." Dive in and enjoy heartbreak? What?! Isn't that kind of like banging your head against the wall until it moves or diving into a waterless pool because it's fun. Who raised this child to think of herself as a rag doll. Sad stuff and sending a poor message to other young girls who look up to her as a role model. Her mother needs to sit down with her and have a long conversation until she gets her head out of the clouds.

Grow up first ... then when you find it you'll know it.

By Wayne

If only it were that simple and if only the progression of time were enough to solve most problems. The reality is that the world's full of people who remain fairly clueless as to what constitutes true love right until their dying day.

By I hate Luke Lewis's guts I hope he dies

This is not Selena Gomez Something has happened to her now as well because of whats happened to Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber and Selena knew them both very well to be able to identify imposters. One day George Luke Lewis you are going to see the end of a mallet alright

Idiotic name, idiotic post. At least you're consistent, dimwit, but it's time for you to get some professional help.

Sorry to be rude, but ewwwww, totally horribly photoshopped cover! I wouldn't even recongied her there if it wasn't for the article title. Her lips look so fake and you can see the red in her teeth too!

By Alyssa

What a terrible cover! I totally agree I can't even recognize her! Such terrible photoshop

Her face is like all squished down....If her Id be crying foul about this cover!!!!!!!

By dpj1959

It is apparent that the handlers and influencial people in this young ladies life have instilled the premise that "Love" is a noun and not a verb...Something purchased and not found...I truly hope that she does get the chance to experience true love...It is amazing!!

By sonya

love doesnt exist, people want to live in a fantasy world that dont exist. Grow up peosple!

By Brian

Sour and bitter clown, not the world's fault that relationships have long ago used you up and unceremoniously spit you out.
