Selena Gomez fancies Robert Pattinson’s Twilight character

Selena Gomez has a crush on Twilight vampire Edward Cullen. The 18-year-old star was attracted to the blood-sucker when she watched the first film in the hugely popular series, but insists her feelings don’t extend to actor Robert Pattinson who plays the character.

“When I watched the first Twilight film, I definitely liked Edward,” she said. “Do I think Robert Pattinson is hot? I think Edward, his character, is.”

The singer-and-actress admits her Edward crush makes it awkward when she sees her friend Taylor Lautner – who plays werewolf Jacob Black.

“I can’t help being in team Edward!” she said. “But Taylor is great in the movies, too, though. He’s super-talented.”

Selena is also friends with Justin Bieber and she admits the teen pop sensation is like “a brother” to her.
