A mouse's love is very fickle ... one day you're in their good graces, being touted as their favorite new superstar and the next you're cast aside like a dirty sock and replaced with a nice, new, untouched replacement. In the crazy hoo-ha over that scandalous Vanity Fair photo of Miley Cyrus, it appears that the Walt Disney company may be making preparations to find a replacement for little Miss Miley in the event that they need to axe her altogether from their wholesome/innocent roster (which includes, I might add, High School Musical's Vanessa Hudgens who endured a scandal of her own last year when FULLY NUDE PHOTOS of the girl exploded onto the InterWeb -- which is a hypocrisy I can't even stomach) of teen stars ... which is where the relatively unheard of Selena Gomez comes in:
The 15-year-old Gomez now stars in the Disney Channel hit Wizards of Waverly Place, but last year she appeared on two episodes of Hannah Montana as Mikayla, one of Hannah's pop star rivals. "Selena sings and acts and is really young," a source reports. "She is going to be the next Miley Cyrus. [Disney executives] really want this." Next up for Gomez is the Warner Bros. movie Another Cinderella Story, scheduled for a fall release. No surprise, but I've just learned that Gomez has recorded several new songs for the flick.
