Mom Gets Selena Gomez to Alter 'Insane' Schedule

By Rob Shuter Posted Jun 14th 2011 09:06AM

Those close to Selena Gomez were shocked when the Disney star had to be hospitalized because she felt exhausted and malnourished, and now sources reveal her mother, Mandy Teefey, is stepping in to make sure she slows down her intense schedule.

"Her schedule is insane," a Selena insider tells me. "She is one of the hardest working people in show business but now even Selena knows she needs to slow down. You have no idea how much work goes into promoting a record or a film."

The 18-year-old 'Bang Bang Bang' singer was rushed to the hospital Thursday night and explained at a concert last night that she was "just very malnourished, so I was low on iron and exhausted."

She's out promoting her new film, 'Monte Carlo' (and her hot new single, listen below), and despite just coming off a health scare this week will be a busy one for her. This Friday she's scheduled to do over 30 interviews (including with me) and that all comes after she's supposed to get up at 5:00 a.m. to perform her new song on 'Good Morning America.'

There were rumors floating around that the 'GMA' performance date may be rescheduled, but ABC confirmed to me and PopEater that it's going on as planned.

In any case, the singer-actress (and girlfriend to you-know-who) will be slowing things down to make sure she's healthy, and the guiding force behind this is her mom, Mandy.

"Selena's mom is amazing," a friend of the family tells me. "She doesn't want to be in the spotlight herself like so many other celebrity parents. Instead she just wants to make sure that her daughter remains normal while living such an extraordinary life."

It's good to see a mother actually stepping in and doing something. What most people don't see or even know is that the handlers as they are called don't care about the person they are working for. They are always paid by the Publicist and Agent not the star. So to them they just see the money they are making and not the person.

As to a twto week vacation, that is more than likely not true. A star's agent or publicist will try to set up at least one or two photo and print interviews. Again to these people they only see the dollar signs and not the actual person.

With advent of the internet, there are now many more sites including this one that wants interviews. And of course Agent, etc. are all to happy to oblige them.
