Selena Gomez is tuning out for 2012 and focusing on her acting career.
The superstar, who starred as Alex Russo on Disney’s show “Wizards of Waverly Place,” told E! News that for the New Year she’s doing the acting gig.
“We’re going to take a break from music,” Gomez told E! “I will be doing two films in the beginning of next year (2012), which I am excited about.”
The “Who Says” singer added that both films are “different” and roles that she’s “never played before.”
“[It] will be fun for me,” Gomez said.
Gomez was offered a role on the upcoming film “Spring Breakers” just as her superstar boyfriend, Justin Bieber, was hit with a paternity suit.
The former Disney starlet could star alongside heavyweight actors James Franco, Emma Roberts and Vanessa Hudgens, Variety reports, in the film.
The entertainment publication says the movie is about four girls in college who decide to hold up a restaurant in the hopes of getting enough cash to go on a trip to the beach.
Word on the street is that if Gomez signs on, she will play the role of a party-pooping religious young lady.
The news about Gomez focusing on her acting chops comes just as more Beliebers lash out at the star on Twitter.
Entertainment blogger Perez Hilton posted on his site that Gomez finds it “a little odd” that Bieber’s fans hate her so much.
SelGo received multiple death threats on Twitter when she and the Biebes made their relationship public.
“I understand it completely,” PerezHilton.com quoted Gomez saying. “It’s amazing to me to see how many passionate fans there are.”
“You’ve just got to think of the fans first,” she added. “That’s OK.”

Selena Gomez has revealed that she looks up to Canadian actress Rachel McAdams and would “love to talk to her” about her career.
The 19-year-old performer is best known for her role on the Disney show Wizards of Waverly Place and being Justin Bieber’s girlfriend.
But Selena told Toronto.com that she really admires The Notebook star and respects her rise to stardom.
“I love the choices she’s made and the way she seems to be playing out her career,” Selena gushed about Rachel.
“I’d love to talk to her and figure out why she does what she does.”
Selena, who also has a growing singing career, says she has lots of plans for the future and wants to conquer the world of showbiz.
“I’d like my music career to keep growing, start a prime-time weekly sitcom and make dramatic films with some first-rate directors,” she shared. “Hey, I’ve been dreaming all along and look how far it’s gotten me!”
“Working on Wizards made me realise what an impact a weekly show can have on building support for you as an artist. I’d love to be part of another ensemble series – something contemporary and kooky and funny and a bit romantic. Like Friends was back when it started.”
