<P><a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/gomez__selena/artist.jhtml">Selena Gomez</a> will wave her magic wand one final time on January 6 when the series finale of "Wizards of Waverly Place" airs. And as she looks forward to <a href="/news/articles/1676526/selena-gomez-2011-review.jhtml">what's next in 2012</a>, she says one thing she won't be doing is releasing new music.

</p><div class="player-placeholder right" id="vid:713774" width="240" height="211"></div><p>

"We're going to take a break from music," Gomez told <a href="http://www.eonline.com/videos/selena-gomezs-shocking-2012-confession/176402" target="_blank">E! News</a>. "My band and I are going to chill on that for a second. I'll be doing two films in the beginning of [2012], which I'm excited about. They are both different and things I've never played before and will be fun for me."

As she closes the door on "Wizards" for good, and on her music for now, the teen superstar says that saying goodbye to her Disney show is bittersweet. "[My fans are] definitely not [ready for it to end], according to my Twitter feed and everything else," she said. "Of course, we could stay on, but we want to move on and stuff. But the show will live on forever and we're all grateful for that. I spent more time with them than my own family. It was amazing."

But fans of the star should prepare for what's next. Gomez will shoot the darker <a href="http://hollywoodcrush.mtv.com/2011/11/29/selena-gomez-spring-breakers/">"Spring Breakers" in early 2012</a> and has been rumored to be attached to a film called <a href="http://hollywoodcrush.mtv.com/2011/10/19/selena-gomez-hot-mess/">"Hot Mess."</a>

For "Spring Breakers," Gomez will work with director Harmony Korine (the man behind the super-dark '90s classic "Kids"). The movie revolves around a group of college girls who rob a restaurant to pay for their spring break. After they land in jail, they become entangled with the drug and arms dealer who bailed them out. James Franco, Vanessa Hudgens and Emma Roberts are also attached to the project.

"It's a different character than I have ever played before," Gomez told MTV News about the project. "It's a different kind of vibe, I think, than people are used to seeing me in. What you're going to see is more raw, I think. It's going to be raw and more about acting."

It looks like Jennifer Stone — or at least her character on Wizards of Waverly Place — may have inspired Victoria and David Beckham’s new daughter’s name!

David and Victoria welcomed Harper Seven Beckham into the world over the weekend and according to The Daily Mail, Harper’s big brothers — Romeo, Cruz and Brooklyn — had a hand in naming her.

“The entire family had input – Victoria and David love the name, but it was the boys who actually came up with it,” a source told the paper. “Victoria loved it because it’s an Olde English name and even though Harper is an American by birth, she will always have English roots.”

David also used to read books based on the Wizards Of Waverly Place series to the three boys when they were younger.

WHAT DO YOU THINK of the name Harper Seven?

“Wizards of Waverly Place” star David Henrie was recently given another shot at writing an episode for the series, after writing his first in 2010. Now, with his episode “Meet The Werewolves” set to air on June 17 on the Disney Channel, the multi-talented actor tells OnTheRedCarpet.com correspondent Chris Balish about his writing process, career aspirations and his philanthropy.

“It’s my second episode for the show. It’s a blessing, creatively to get to do this. It’s something that I’ve always wanted to do. Here’s my second at bat at it,” Henrie told Balish on the set of the popular series, which co-stars Selena Gomez.

On the show, Henrie and Gomez play siblings in the Italian-Mexian Russo family who are wizards in training living in Manhattan. The fourth season of the series, which will be Gomez’s last, airs its finale on June 24.

The actor says he learned a lot from his first time writing, which made his second effort go a little smoother. “When you write something it’s from your mind so you get so attached to it and for reasons being time cuts or when things aren’t working, you gotta be willing to cut things,” he said. “So it was much easier this time and it’s all for the better good of the script.”

“I would love to write more and continue to write for the show. To get to do it on a professional level and have it on ‘Wizards’ — it was absolutely amazing,” he added.

So what does he love so much about the writing process? Henrie says, “I just love being in the room, the rewriting process, getting to pitch jokes, break the stories with them, all of that.” The actor adds, “It’s really a family here and it’s really a team effort. So to get to be a part of that process behind the curtain it was great.”

The 21-year-old, who has made appearances on “How I Met Your Mother” and “That’s So Raven,” says he doesn’t want to stop at writing, “I would love to direct, that would be so much fun. We’ve all been doing it so long that we definitely know the process.”

“I think if you can control your future and sort of lay the bricks of your own foundation then that’s the best way to go,” he added. “I want to control my own future. The people I admire are the Apatows out there, the Sandlers, you know Vince Vaughn’s whole company. They sort of do their own thing.”

Teen star Selena Gomez says she shed quite a few tears over the weekend as she shot the last scenes for her hit TV show “Wizards of Waverly Place.”

“It was bittersweet. … I obviously cried a lot,” Gomez said in a telephone interview Monday from Los Angeles. “It was really, really hard.”

Gomez became a star playing Alex Russo on the Disney Channel smash about three siblings who are training to be wizards in New York City.

Over the weekend, she tweeted a photo of herself arm-in-arm with co-stars David Henrie (Justin Russo) and Jake T. Austin (Max Russo) heading to set for the last time.

“They called us to set and normally they call us separately … that morning they’re like, we want to bring you all in together,” said Gomez. “I just held on to them. It was really depressing.”

Gomez said the cast had a party Sunday where they danced, watched a blooper reel and said their goodbyes.

She even received a special souvenir.

“I took my wand that I’ve cast my spells (with) for the last four years,” Gomez said.

“It’s in a little box in a frame, so hopefully I’ll be able to hang it up in my house … they gave it to my brothers and I.”

On Monday morning, the reality of her post-”Wizards” life was beginning to sink in.

“It’s very weird to know that I won’t have my dressing room to go back to tomorrow morning,” said the 18-year-old Texas native.

“It’s kind of strange. But I’m ready, I think.”

She has more than a few upcoming projects to help with the transition.

On June 19, Gomez will host the MuchMusic Video Awards in Toronto, where Lady Gaga, the Black Keys, Avril Lavigne and Bruno Mars are scheduled to perform. She’ll follow in the footsteps of other former Disney stars who took on MMVAs hosting duties, including the Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus.

The singer/actress says she became a fan of MuchMusic while shooting two movies in Toronto and was flattered to be asked to participate in this year’s street bash.

And while she’s rumoured to be dating teen heart-throb Justin Bieber, Gomez admitted that she also carries a bit of a torch for Mars.

“I’m obsessed with Bruno Mars, I really think he’s extremely talented,” she said. “I kind of have a crush on him.”

A few days after her hosting duties, the latest Selena Gomez and the Scene album, “Otherside,” will drop and the singer will head out on her first tour.

If that isn’t enough to satisfy fans, the star’s latest movie “Monte Carlo” — co-starring Cory Monteith of “Glee” fame — is due to hit theatres July 1.

Gomez said she wants to continue to make music and movies, but feels like she has something to prove on the acting side now that “Wizards” is behind her.

“I feel as if I have to gain credit with new audiences,” she said.

After doing comedy for a few years, the actress says it would be nice to try something different.

Still, many teen stars have been criticized for sexing up their images after leaving wholesome TV shows and Gomez seems wary of alienating her rabid tween supporters.

“I would never want to do anything to make my fans uncomfortable because they are extremely loyal and they’ve been with me for the past five years,” she said.

“If anything, I just want to choose roles that they can all see and all kind of grow with me, if that makes sense.”

Season 4 episodes of “Wizards” are airing on Family Channel. The network is planning a Selena Gomez marathon on June 15.
