A$AP, James Franco talk Selena Gomez!
Selena Gomez signing her Interscope contract with Janick (left) and Keshishian in Dec. 2014.
Quote:
“She’s developing her sexiness,” says the Harlem MC, who didn’t recognize Gomez when he heard the demo. “I don’t think she’s there 100 percent yet. She’s probably only f—ed Justin Bieber, if that.” He snickers. “But honestly, she wasn’t looking for a No. 1 hit. She did it to excommunicate herself from her image. That’s brave.”
In 2012’s Spring Breakers, the bleakly comic art film-turned-hit movie directed by Harmony Korine, she played a wayward, bikini-clad teen. “That [role] drew me into working with her,” says Interscope chairman/CEO John Janick. “I was blown away. I said, ‘Listen, what people see from the outside, it seems like there’s more to it.’ ”
In the meantime, “she’s having fun being CEO of her business for the first time,” says Gomez’s co-manager Aleen Keshishian, who points out the very active role Gomez has taken in her own liberation: “Her work ethic is something I’ve never seen. She executive-produced Revival. She co-wrote half the songs. Every visual, every marketing move, every decision is hers.”
Gomez will also appear in a new film, In Dubious Battle, directed by her Spring Breakers co-star James Franco. “Selena plays a young mother,” says Franco. “She has a birth scene in a bunkhouse, and my character delivers the baby. It was like a performance art piece or something. She blew everyone away.”
“I feel safe with my fans. I’m going to meet every single one of them. They’re the goodness of what I do.” Today’s meet-and-greet takes four hours, but Gomez does it standing up, in stilettos, and #RevivalEvent ends up trending harder than Madonna’s Madison Square Garden concert that same night -- 16,000 Instagram posts to Madge’s 9,000.
