Selena Gomez may just be ditching the Biebs for her BFF Demi Lovato on New Year’s Eve.
The Tex Mex pals will be ringing in 2012 in New York City's Times Square for MTV's live special.
MTV said Monday that both are due to perform, along with singer Jason Derülo and rappers J Cole and Mac Miller. The night's festivities will be hosted by Tyler Posey of MTV's "Teen Wolf" and Lovato.
The show will air from MTV's Times Square studios. Fans can bid to be part of the audience. Proceeds will go to the Famine War Drought Relief (FWD), to help with the crisis in East Africa.
The show will air live at 11 p.m. EST.
The people that are really there for me are the people that were there for me when I went into treatment. The people that were calling me while I was in there were Kim Kardashian and Selena Gomez.
Upon Lovato’s exit from rehab (she entered a women's facility for cutting, bulimia and bipolar disorder) Lovato said she made it through thanks to her fans and pal Selena Gomez.
“I feel like there are some people that you’re friends with that talk to you on Twitter or text you,” Lovato said, as reported by entertainment site Billboard.com.
“But, the people that are really there for me are the people that were there for me when I went into treatment.”
Lovato and Gomez go way back. The starlets met on the set of “Barney and Friends” when they were just kids.
“The people that were calling me while I was in there were Kim Kardashian and Selena Gomez.,” Lovato added. “Those two girls, they meant the world to me. They still do.”
