She took questions from the audience about her career and her favorite scenes in the new movie.

Some fans waited for hours to get a spot in the audience and the star of the Disney Channel’s “Wizards of Waverly Place” didn’t disappoint them.

Gomez carefully avoided the question on the minds of many. She gave no details about her ongoing romance with teen idol Justin Bieber.

“Monte Carlo” opens in theaters next Friday.
