Justin Beibers ex seems
to be following in his steps of getting into controversy. The 20 year old former
Disney star took to the stage at the MTV MOVIE AWARDS to perform her hit song; COME
AND GET IT in a red dress and a bindi decoration on her forehead. The bindi is
said to be an ancient tradition in Hinduism and has religious significance:
sometimes referred to as the third eye and the flame -the leader of the
Universal Society of Hinduism,Raja Zed,explained.This got her into trouble with
the religious leaders, who demanded an apology and a good number of fans that
took to tweeter to register their disappointment in the
pop-star.Meanwhile,Gomez is hardly the first hollywood celebrity to try Hindu
culture on for size;Julia Roberts,Katty Perry,Madonna,Gwen Stefani,Miley Cyrus
and Jessica Simpson have been trailblazzers in the sector.
Gomez has not tweeted or
issued any official response to the controversy, but perhaps the fact that she
wore a bindi again to perform the same song on the Ellen Degeneres show,
suggests the positive feedback has overweighed the negative and she seems to be
living in the moment of the success of her song. Who can blame her, getting
props from legends like Britney Spears who took to tweeter to
say-'Wow,@SelenaGomez, COME AND GET IT on the #Mtvmovieawards was icredible!One
of my favorite songs out there right now,' And her besty Demi Lovato was not
short of praises either.The,AMERICA'S Got Talent, judge tweeted-'Umm...am obsessed
with COME AND GET IT,@Selenagomez,so happy for you lady #literally on
repeat!#We can only hope that Selena will return the favor of the kind words
about Demi's new hit single HEART ATTACK. This song; COME AND GET IT, is all
the hype right now. So seriously, if you do not have it on your iPod yet, GO
AND GET IT! It’s relieving to see all the time Selena's been putting in, at the
studio, after breaking up with JB, is paying off; well for you girl: Jst stay
free off cultural controversy!
