Followers of celebrity gossip have seen a lot of Selena Gomez’s driveway over the last few months.
Located off a winding residential street in Tarzana, it’s where paparazzi have snapped countless pictures of the former Disney Channel star and where her on-again/off-again boyfriend, Justin Bieber, was photographed one night after a reported argument between the two tween idols at a restaurant in Encino.
Arriving home first, Gomez apparently locked the gate in the driveway, leading to a widely circulated image with this immortal TMZ caption: “Biebs Denied.”
None of this action was evident on a recent afternoon in Gomez’s tranquil backyard. Sipping a Coke while seated on a patio overlooking a pool and tennis court, the 21-year-old singer-actress exuded a sense of deep calm (or perhaps deep boredom) as she discussed her new album.
Yet behind her studied half-smile, Gomez seemed aware that the tabloid frenzy — and the fixation on her love life — is one sign that things are going right.
“This is a lot different than any of the records I’ve put out before,” she said. “This transition that I’m going through has been really awkward and cool, and I’ve learned a lot about myself.”
Released on Tuesday (when it shot straight to No. 1 oniTunes), “Stars Dance” is the fourth studio disc from Gomez, who after a stint on “Barney & Friends” found fame with her role on the Disney series “Wizards of Waverly Place.”
