Uh...no sir. In my opinion that would be worse than getting Jen to do it. I truly believe that aside from both of them being of Mexican heritage and sharing a name, Jen has more in common with La Reina. Selena Gomez's mom is white (non Latina) by the way and most importantly Gomez looks NOTHING like her; she looks even less like her than Jennifer. Also I don't think she's ready for such a dramatic role. So acting wise it would definitely be a downgrade. Gomez would have to work BIG TIME on her Spanish/pronunciation. Selena may have not spoken much Spanish (initially) but you would never know that, listening to her records. Between the issues with Gomez not looking mature enough, and having little to no rhythm, or body to fill out the clothes it would be a huge awkward disaster. I don't dislike the girl but no.
I think the movie's fine as is but if anything ever come to fruition (hopefully very different) then how about this time they get an actual Mexican American ACTRESS who fits the bill.
