But at the same time, Selena can sympathize with her haters!
“But I have to agree with them sometimes," she said. "I loved Jesse McCartney. I was obsessed with him. He dated Katie Cassidy when he was 16 or 17. I hated her, absolutely hated her. I was mortified that he was with Katie and I wanted to be with him. He was my screensaver!"
