Today is Selena Gomez's birthday! Last year she was busy throwing a celeb-and-BFF-studded bday bash for her Sweet 16 -- what do you think Selena has in store this year for her 17th?? Between recording her new album and filming the new season of Wizards of Waverly Place, we hope she finds a little time for some cake and celebration with her friends and fam!

Fun facts about Selena:
- Selena has admitted before that she's a serious "shoe girl!" She used to spend her allowance on new pairs of kicks and owns over 20 pairs of Converse -- her fave type!
- Snickers may be Selena's candy bar of choice, but she shares the chocolatey treats with her other favorite snack: pickles!
- The first fan letter Selena ever received was from a fan named Taylor -- hmm, coincidence?? ;)

Send Selena all of your birthday love below!
