Need Some Help Telling Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato Apart?



There are a lot of pressing questions coming out of Teen Hollywood today: How does Justin Bieber get his hair to do that? Is five 'Bring It On' remakes too many? Is Miley EVER going to get braces? But one of the biggest question of all is, what's the difference between Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato?

Challenge accepted!

Let's begin with some basic questions: Which one began her career on 'Barney & Friends'? Which one dated a Jonas Brother? Which one has brown hair and brown eyes? And which one was born in Texas?

Ready? The answer to each of these questions is both! Selena and Demi, both 17, began their acting careers on the children's show 'Barney & Friends' in Texas. And both also went on to have big roles on some of the Disney Channel's most popular shows: Selena snagged a lead role on 'Wizards of Waverly Place,' and Demi is currently starring in 'Sonny With a Chance.' And did we mention they both starred in the Disney Channel film 'Princess Protection Program'? Well, they did. Both of them.

They've also both dated a Jonas Brother. Selena and Nick Jonas just recently announced they called it quits after a couple years of on-and-off dating. Demi is having better luck with her Jo Bro: She just confirmed her relationship with Joe Jonas a couple weeks ago. Yep, that was Demi singing with Joe on 'American Idol' last week.

And we're just getting started ... both Selena and Demi have brown hair and brown eyes -- and both dress super stylishly. They were both born in Texas in 1992 -- only a month apart and down the highway from each other -- and both have Mexican ancestry. Seriously!

Really, we couldn't make this stuff up. (Nor could we use the word "both" any less if we tried...)

Okay, okay, we'll cut it out. We don't really think they're the same person. There are a few differences. For instance, while both have released albums, Selena did so with a band, while Demi's went solo. Selena Gomez and The Scene released their debut in September 2009, which has since gone gold. And they're currently working on their second album. Demi's released two solo albums. Very different stuff here.

There are other distinctions too: Demi plays the piano, Selena's hair is shorter and Demi's done a little more touring. See? They're different!

As these two Disney girls grow older, we expect their paths to diverge. We predict one will focus on acting while the other will invest in her musical career. It's a little too early to say who will do what -- Selena's album performed well, but Demi showcased some stellar vocals on 'American Idol' -- but it's safe to say both will be successful.

In fact, it almost doesn't matter if people can't tell them apart. Together, they're taking over Teen Hollywood. Let's here it for Demilena!
