Selena Gomez, Jimmy Fallon 'Mario Kart Love Song' [VIDEOS]: 'Spring Breakers' and 'Late Night' Host Sing Video Game Ballad, Mustaches and All!
Selena Gomez is still making the rounds to promote her new sexy film, Spring Breakers, and last night she stopped by "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" to talk about the movie and do a special duet with the former "SNL" cast member. Originally written and performed by Sam Hart, "Mario Kart Love Song" became a huge YouTube and iTunes hit, so Jimmy and Selena decided to treat their fans to a special rendition. Jimmy sang and played guitar dressed as Mario and Selena sang dressed as a transgendered Wario.
During her interview, the 20-year-old Selena admits she has actually never been on Spring Break before and that filming this movie was her first time experiencing it. She also talked a bit about getting the role. Having been from the Disney realm of acting, director Harmony Korine was not exactly jumping at the chance to work with Selena Gomez. Regardless of this, she flew down to Nashville, knocked on his door and auditioned for the part. Korine hired her and told Gomez that he would take her out of "her bubble" and into this new world. It apparently worked because Spring Breakers and Selena Gomez are getting great reviews.
