Selena Gomez

There's long been buzz that 16-year-old Selena Gomez is going to follow in the footsteps of Miley Cyrus and this year's Disney break-out -- and her BFF, by the way -- Demi Lovato. With a hit Disney show, "The Wizards of Waverly Place" and a new album in the works for a summer 2009 debut, she's ripe for teen idol success. But perhaps the most important factor minting Gomez's break-out status is the fact that she's dating teen heartthrob du jour Nick Jonas, of the uber-hot Jonas Brothers.
