In May, Selena Gomez poked fun at the blush-inducing literary phenomenon that is "Fifty Shades of Grey." Appearing in a Funny or Die sketch titled "Fifty Shades of Blue," Gomez, playing a naive, lusty Ana Steele type, longed for her handyman, played by Nick Kroll, who comes across in the skit as anything but the suave, sexy Christian Grey from the trilogy.

However, before Gomez hit the set for the short, she had to do some research and read E L James' book. Well, what she read truly did leave her cheeks rosy. "I only read the beginning of it, because when they told me about the skit, I didn't know what it was about," she told MTV News. "So I started to read it, and I was like, 'Oh, this is spicy.' So I thought it was good, it was intriguing. Obviously, it's working, so the skit was really funny."

While it seems that every actress in Hollywood has some form of "Fifty Shades" fever, given that the book will soon be made into a movie, did starring in "Fifty Shades of Blue" make Gomez want to tackle the starring role in the real thing? "I don't think so. I know I'm taking risks, but I don't think I could do that!" she said. "That would be a little too much for me. I think someone older should do that part."

"Fifty Shades" might be a bit too mature for Gomez, but her next slate of projects will show that the 19-year-old is growing up, even if at a slower pace. In addition to her bikini-clad role in the "raw" "Spring Breakers," Gomez will soon begin work on her next album.

"I am missing music, so we're going to start on the fourth record at the end of this year," she explained about heading back into the studio after working on several film projects. "Very different! I want to go for producers that probably wouldn't want me to do their songs. I just want to knock on their door. I also want to work with Fun. I want to work with just different styles of music.

"I also want to work with Taylor [Swift] too. So I just want to do different things for this album," she added. "By the time it comes out, I'll almost be 21, so I want to be able to — wow, that sounds really scary! — I want it to be older."
