Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato may be well on their way to bumping Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus off the top of the heap but they still are very young and with that is all of the struggles and excitement of being young stars growing up with millions watching. The two have shared an acting coach (Cathy Linley, Cody's mom) and sharing each other's clothes at red carpet event.

"At my first premiere that I went to with her, Selena was wearing all my clothes," Demi told teen magazine J-14. "We always borrow each other's jeans, and we have Converse and switch them up on accident." The two open up to the magazine this month and talk about everything from swimsuits to body image.

"I'm not confident in myself, so I get down on myself and I believe some of the online stuff," Selena told the magazine. "Demi's the kind of person who is honest with me, and there to support me and tell me, "Don't listen to that. Know who you are.' And that really means a lot to me - because she's honest with me and really harsh, but she does it because she loves me."
The report notes that while Demi may be good at raising Selena's self-esteem, but she herself, suffers from the same insecurities. Like most girls, the Camp Rock actress has fitting-room freak-outs when it's time for swimsuit season. "She hates wearing bathing suits," Selena spills. "I think it's a girl thing." This may have to do with Demi's lack of confidence, which she is attempting to overcome with Selena's help.
