Becoming famous, according to best female friends and , doesn't always do them good. Recently, the two Disney teen stars shared to Sun Media about the hardest part of becoming popular, being under the spotlight, as well as being considered as a role model.

As for Demi, she opened up, "It's easier to look up to somebody when they're older than you. Whereas if they're older, sometimes they have issues, even as a person, just talking to their friends and saying, 'Yeah, I look up to someone who's younger than me.' It's kind of an ego thing with everybody." She went on revealing, "I think it's weirder when I get fans who are older than me, waiting for me outside my hotel, but they're 22. It's not weird, actually, it's just interesting to me, because you typically look up to people. When the older college students, the cool kids, think that I'm cool, it's really encouraging."

Selena, meanwhile, said, "I love kids and I know I have a younger crowd, I get that. I just want to be respected by people my age -- I don't necessarily want to have fans who are my age. I would just love to be respected." She continued, "The hardest part for me is the fame part. I love that kids look up to me. But people start getting curious about personal life, which makes me kind of sad, because then it's not about the career any more, it's about who I'm friends with. That's a bit of a bummer. But that's okay, I know that comes with it."

On Thursday, June 18, Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez were photographed attending the premiere of their movie "" at Queen Elizabeth Theater in Toronto, Canada. The family-comedy TV movie will be aired this coming Friday, June 26.

I really like Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato. Watching them on T.V. Is a treat for me. I admire their courage and strength and talent. Selena Gomez has older viewers that think she is great because I am one of them. I think Selena is such a sweet person it shows in her acting and in interviews. I will always think she is a sweet heart, she reminds me of my niece who I love so dear.

Selena you are so pretty! So are you, Demi! Is Demi short for Demitrianna? There was a girl in my class named Demitrianna; we called her Demi.

I feel that Selena Gomez just wanted to have a prom that she has never attended to before. She wanted to have a good time with some of her fans and her best friend Demi Lavato! honistly i look up to both of them, but mostly selena!
