Band as marketing gimmick?

A friend sent me an email consisting entirely of this subject line:

Selena Gomez' Scene: "band" as marketing gimmick to establish legitimacy, or too unattractive to be pictured w/ so cute a gal in a CD booklet? (just got CD today!)

ugly?

A little bit of both: Selena Gomez really wanted to be in a band, but Disney wanted her to do the solo star thing, so a "band" with her name in the name was the compromise, and for God's sake why do I know this.
