Selena Gomez bares all in Elle

Selena Gomez is showing a lot of skin.

The Disney star turns up the heat in the July issue of Elle, posing as Julys cover girl. Her fans are in for quite a surprise.

The magazine shows Gomez wearing skimpy tops and looking more mature than in her Wizards of Waverly Place days.

Gomez gushed about longtime boyfriend Justin Bieber, who she describes as a hopeless romantic. When its time for date night, this guy pulls out all the stops. On September 23, he rented out the Staples Center for a private screening of Titanic! Gomez recalled how she had recently mentioned that she wanted to see the movie again and was completely surprised.

She may be a superstar, but life was difficult before fame. I can remember about seven times when our car got stuck on the highway because wed run out of gas money, she said.

Gomez said her mother sacrificed a lot to give her a decent childhood. Instead of succumbing to poverty, she took her daughter to concerts, museums and aquariums to give her a taste of the world.

Gomez also opened up about her future, saying the teenybopper roles are over. She wants to move on to something bigger and is ready to leave Disney behind.
