Selena Gomez [1] sent tongues wagging when she was spotted leaving the Bedford Hotel in NYC on Wednesday. The singer and actress bore a striking resemblance to Kim Kardashian [2] as she made her way down the street in jeans, heels, and a tight black tank top, and later changed into a slinky lace ensemble for a night out with friends. Selena landed in the Big Apple earlier this week and announced her arrival with an Instagram selfie [3] captioned "Hi New York." Selena has been getting lots of attention for her social media habits lately, as she's been posting what some have considered "cryptic" messages and photos [4]; on Monday, she shared a picturesque snap of a lakeside sunset, saying, "Always said I was going to end up there, but I guess that's where it was meant to end." The same day, she uploaded a video of herself playing the piano [5], adding, "I don't know. I'm on my way you know."
