Selena Gomez has officially signed with new representation, after releasing her mother and step-father from their managerial roles early last month.
But you can forget gossip about her signing with back-on boyfriend Justin Bieber’s manager Scooter Braun, or Kardashian clan matriarch Kris Jenner.
The evidently not “brainwashed” Gomez signed with WME and Brillstein for management, as per The Hollywood Reporter .
The trade explains Selena’s big move is part of a long term strategy to evolve her music and movie careers in a more adult direction.
In addition to other bold moves such terminating her professional deal with her parents and moving into a new house in Calabasas, Calif., the Disney alum reportedly intends to build on her post- Wizards of Waverly roles in Spring Breakers , Getaway , and Rudderless .
Music-wise, Selena’s contract with Disney’s Hollywood Records is rumored to have ended.
The 21-year-old debuted atop the Billboard 200 album chart last summer with Stars Dance riding her triple-platinum lead single “ Come & Get It,” but there has been no new output after second single “ Slow Down ” last August.
Since then, Gomez voluntarily spent a short time in rehab back in January — allegedly over difficulties “letting go” of her relationship with Bieber — which she has now resumed, amid ceaseless and often ridiculous tabloid rumors.
Over the last two months, Bieber and Gomez have been spotted in Texas , Miami , Coachella Festival , and are now together in Los Angeles , and the couple have recorded a duet although there is no word on when — or if — it will be released.
Fans of the Latina will be glad to hear her radio silence is about to break.
According to TV and radio host Ryan Seacrest, Gomez has a provocative new song and music video on the way that may be about her on-again, off-again relationship with Bieber.
The news comes after Selena teased risque imagery of herself on Instagram last month along with the caption: “Secret project.”
During his recent radio show Seacrest said of Gomez’s upcoming release,
“I saw Selena the other night and she’s got a big new song coming out and a really cool video she shot.” He added, “The video’s interesting. I don’t want to tell you too much before it’s officially done and this is the one that she’s gonna release.”
Then, hinting at a Gomez-Bieber musical exposé, he continued:
“But the video will get people talking about whether or not it’s about she and Justin, that’s for sure. I watched it, and I looked at her, and I listened to the lyrics, and I’m like: ‘Okay. This is gonna have people talking and wondering!’ ”
Sounds intriguing.
