  1. Selena Gomez was a very loyal executive producer to the show "13 Reasons Why" for seven years. Her mother, who is also an executive producer, first discovered the book in 2009. The strong is about a teenage girl named Hannah who committed suicide and left behind a series of tapes. These tapes explained why she did it. Selena said she was nervous when the film was released on Netflix because she didn't know if society was going to like the show. Turns out, the reviews have been largely positive since it has been available to watch. An actor in the show, Dylan Minnette, said he enjoyed having Selena as a producer and hopes she continues to produce more shows in the future.

  5. http://www.eonline.com/news/840030/mama-june-reveals-the-real-reason-she-wants-to-lose-weight

    Mama June set out to seek revenge on Sugar Bear. Hoping to show him she was more than just a 460lb. woman. The two originally starred on the hit television show, "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo." Mama June planned on unveiling her body at Sugar Bear's wedding with Jennifer Lamb. After firing 3 people who were helping with the weight loss process, Mama June has come to realize that her weight loss wasn't all about revenge, it was more for instilling confidence within herself. Two of her children, Honey Boo Boo and Pumpkin, express their concerns about their mother by stating the social pressures are getting to her and they feel she won't ever be happy with herself. The two are currently hoping their mom goes through with the upcoming surgeries, despite the health risks. This next surgery is to get rid of the extra fat on her neck and arms. People can watch this process on Friday, when "Mama June:From Not to Hot" is on at 9p.m.

  11. After winning WrestleMania, John Cena proposed to his longtime girlfriend, Nikki Bella. Cena said on the Today show that he had been planning to ask her for a quite some time. Nikki Bella has been by his side through many surgeries, which John Cena was thankful for. Cena has been put on anesthesia many times so Bella uses it as a "truth serum". Last year, Nikki Bella had neck surgery and was put on anesthesia. Cena then asked her, "You know someday I'm going to marry you?" Bella didn't recall anything while she was on anesthesia, which happened a year-and-a-half ago. She never thought Cena would propose in front of that many people, but WWE is their home and where they met.

  26. Ukraine's Valeria Lukyanova — who gained internet fame after being dubbed the "Human Barbie doll" — is facing backlash from her fans this week after sharing a video of herself ranting about "ugly" women. In the video, the 31-year-old social media celebrity from Odessa spoke at length about her belief that when a woman does not put considerable effort into her appearance, it is a sign of her "inner ugliness." She also insisted that any woman who isn't "naturally pretty" should always wear makeup in public, before attacking women who do not frequently exercise. "Some girls simply think that nothing can help them when all they do is lie on a couch eating pastry," she said, as translated by the Daily Mail. "People simply think: 'Why would I push myself?' Let me push someone else instead. I believe that all these aspects are connected with the inner ugliness." Lukyanova then went on to insist that, despite speculation from the media, she's never gotten Botox or other plastic surgery done. "Let me lose all my privileges if I have ever done injections in my face," she said. Multiple sources report that her followers were less-than-pleased with the video, which many saw as unnecessarily cruel. "This is a typical chick that had done shit ton of plastics and now she tells everybody how they should live," one wrote. Another joked, "Boy, she stays true to herself." Lukyanova has not yet responded to the criticism.

  40. The new Jumanji sequel will not include a board game. Rather than the traditional board game, Jumanji will become of a video game in which the characters are sucked into their game and become their avatars. It is hinted that Karen Gillan will play the avatar of a teenage boy, and Jack Black will play the avatar of a teenage girl. There has been a lot of controversy about changing it into a video game, but it is seen as more fitting for the time period.
