One of those in-game featured stars is apparently based on Selena Gomez.

The lawsuit stated that in regard to Selena’s rights, defendants had neither asked for her permission nor notified Selena about their usage of her likeness. Moreover, even if they had asked, she would have never approved of her likeness is to be used for such an unsavory practice promoted by the defendants. The fact that they had been using celebrities' images as a way to lure people into in-game purchases could never be in line with Selena’s mentality.
