Selena Gomez Vs. Miley Cyrus

Hollywood’s hottest and most popular teen queens are butting heads - even if they are denying it to the press. Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez are Disney Channel’s moneymakers. Beautiful, talented, and famous, it’s no wonder that they are the idols of millions of girls.

It’s kind of funny, because in Miley’s TV show, Hannah Montana, Selena has guest-starred as Miley’s rival. Personally, I like them both, but Miley’s actions lead me to believe that there is hatred among the two and Miley is definitely the catty and immature one.

Selena Gomez hosts a show on YouTube with best friend Demi Lovato (Camp Rock). The show is pretty good, actually. I’ve seen a couple of episodes, and they are pretty funny. I think it’s a nice way to keep up with fans. It’s very personal and it confirms to me that some teen stars may actually be well rounded and not stuck-up.

Selena and Demi did an episode a while ago in which Selena showed off her new Power Rangers shirt and Demi showed that she fixed the gap in her teeth. The show was fun and showed the girls as “real” teenagers instead of some dolled-up celebrities.

On July 19th, Miley and friend Mandy Jiroux (who really rubs me the wrong way for some reason; I don’t know why) released their own YouTube “parody” of the Selena and Demi show. Miley makes fun of the shirt and Demi’s new teeth. Too be honest, the girls were acting like drunken idiots (I doubt they were stupid enough to release a video in which they were actually drunk) and totally lost my respect. The video was rude and mean-spirited.

So now, Miss Cyrus has publicly apologized to Miss Gomez. She justified herself by saying, “They were being funny on their show, and [as] Elvis says, 'Imitation is the greatest form of flattery,' so we were, like, imitating them. You know, like, being funny.” I don’t buy it at all. Seems very phony to me, and I’m not the only one who thinks so, either.

In a recent OMG Yahoo poll, a question asks if the reader believes Miley is "super sorry" for the video in which she mocks fellow teen queen Selena Gomez. Twenty-four percent said yes, she was just joking. Forty-four percent said no, she was just jealous; and 33% don’t even care.

    Why are you concerned over Mileys video which is a parody of a video by Selena and Demi where they make fun of each other. Miley just copies what they said. For all you know Selena and Demi Laughed their butts off when they watched Miley and Mandy's video mocking them. I haven't seen or heard any comment from either Selena or Demi saying the were hurt by the video. It's none of your business. If and when Selena or Demi come forward and say that they were hurt by Mileys video then you can take sides. Until then, no one shoud be putting Miley down for her video. That's like putting the cart before the horse. You should not be judge someone for something you think happen, you should wait for the fact to come out, and the fact is niether Selena or Demi have said they were upset or hurt by Miley's video. Selena said today, if she doesn't say it on TV or in a radio interview then it's probally not true. She also said she is not mad or feuding with Miley. In fact she even said she brought Miley's new CD and likes it!!

    Sarah--
    Not only are your comments completely pointless, but they have no relation to the topic. So, I just have one piece of advice: the caps lock button is next the shift one. Try pressing it.

    Stan--
    Why are you concerned enough to be reading articles about the two if there's no feud? Shouldn't it be a moot point or whatever? How's me reporting on it any different? It's called analysis.

    Oh, and for the record, I have nothing against Miss Cyrus. I too bought her CD and enjoyed it. There's a link to my review in the article.

    Perhaps this "feud" is a manufactured one, meant to increase buzz, cause interest, and get everyone who even remotely cares into a lather.

    I haven't gotten past those Miley photos yet. I don't mean the one with her in the sheet - I mean the one with her dad. Very spooky and weird.

    Another good one, Maddy.

    I think that peoeple just need to leave them alone. Every girl gets mad if the another girl starts to date her old boyfriend that she really liked. Just give them a while and let them work it out themself. Yes nich jonas is hott but I think they will get over it. Plus did you see him in the Disney Channel games. He did not look that happy and it may not last that long anyway. So leave the girls alone and they will work it out them selfs.

    This cat fight is a real disappointment... the two girls are sooooooooo popular... I think they should at least think of their fans when indulging in these petty catfights... are they trying to be another britney spears and christina augilera... the whole thing is just a PR trap... a shame!

    Parodies/spoofs are actually supposed to be funny but this was not funny at all.

    I honestly thought Miley and Mandy's "parody" was pretty funny. I don't think they acted like "drunken idiots" at all. And you said that you felt like Selena and Demi's video made them seem like "“real” teenagers", but to be honest, I thought it made Selena look the opposite. I do think it made Demi seem down-to-earth, but I think Selena went a bit overboard. In my opinion, it proved that she was another "dolled-up celebrity".

    I don't always agree with Miley's comments or opinions, but I do think Selena's actions show that there must be hatred between the two, not Miley's.

    I don't hate either of the girls, but I do think Miley has more talent than Selena. I don't think Selena should be singing at all. And Miley should't feel threatened by Selena in any way because while Selena is an actress, Miley sings, acts and more. Miley is destined to make it far.

    I THINK THAT MILEY WAS ACTING A LITTLE IMITURE BECUASE SHE SAID IN A LITTLE CERES OF MILEY MUSIC AND MORE. SHE SAID THAT SHE WANTED TO INSPIER GIRLS AND BOYS.AND IN THAT VIDEO I STOPED BELIVING HER. BUT THAT DID NOT MEAN I DO NOT LIKE HER ANYMORE.AND IT WAS TRUE THAT SELENA WAS ACTING LIKE A CHILED.

    we were trying to be funny but at the same time I think they deserved it. I was just appologizing to get things over with and move on. and immitation is the best form of flattery, so everyone needs to just loosen up a little and laugh at themselves every once in a while, Mandy and I do a whole lot of laughing at ourselves.

    I agree with this article . I like Miley and I like Salena but in Mileys " Parody " she came across as petty and immature , given what's happened latley you'd think she'd be trying to prove herself as a suitable role model rather than bashing her competition , I like Miley but , sadly , not as much as I used to . Claps all round for Salena who's been very very good throught out this whole ordeal .

    I like both girls. I think that they are both pretty and talented. All you ppl who hate Mylie have no reason to hate at all. You're PATHETIC!! Give the girl the girl a break...she's just a teen having fun with her friend. I mean wouldn't you be jealous of your competition dating your ex?? I know I would.

    Selena and Demi are pretty but Mylie is beautiful.. Is it just me or does Demi look way older than 15?? I don't really like Mylie's voice but she is a good actor. I like Selena's voice but not her New York accent on her show.

    I defenatly agree with this article 100%. Its been said that miley made fun of selena because shes mad at the nick jonas and selena likeing each other possibly thing. The thing is, your a celebrity miley and you cant do stuff like that. If you we're a regular girl then no one would care but since you are its going to be a problem.
    And i hate how everyone dislikes selena because shes the next "miley". Ughh no. its not that. selena happens to be a talented girl and same age. shes not trying to be like miley. so why doesnt everyone think for a second and stop being so ignorant.

    Gee, the slightest ISP suggestion that such junior-league celebrities could be assisting the switch to cool-touch fryers in fast food restaurants has apparently set off some kind of frenzy -- probably about the "been there, done that" use of metal-working in, say, gymnasiums. The negative effect on health has been phenomenal if not outright ghastly,
