New episodes of the unscripted cooking series will premiere later this year.

In Season 3, Gomez will continue her cooking adventures at home with a new roster of all-star chefs that will help her whip up delicious dishes. Like in its first two seasons, each chef will highlight a different charity each episode. To date, the series has raised $360,000 for 23 nonprofit organizations.

The series is executive produced by Gomez for July Moon Productions.

Gomez executive produced the Sony romantic feature The Broken Hearts Gallery, which was one of the first movies to get exhibition reopened as the pandemic eased last summer.

She also stars as Mavis and executive produces Sony Animation’s upcoming summer release Hotel Transylvania: Transformania. 

And she stars and serves as EP on Hulu’s Steve Martin and Martin Short series Only Murders in the Building, and she’s attached to star in the Elgin James feature drama In the Shadow of Mountain. 

Gomez released three albums with her former band Selena Gomez & the Scene: Kiss & Tell (2009), A Year Without Rain (2010) and When the Sun Goes Down (2011), all of which peaked within the top 10 on the Billboard 200 and attained gold certifications.

Her 2015 album Revival went platinum twice. Gomez released her third solo album Rare last year via Interscope Records, debuting atop the Billboard 200, making it her third consecutive No. 1 album in the U.S.

And, she released her first Spanish-language album earlier this year. Revelación debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Latin Albums chart.

Gomez’s feature credits include Monte Carlo, The Muppets, Spring Breakers, The Hotel Transylvania franchise, Getaway, The Fundamentals of Caring, Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising, and Jim Jarmusch’s The Dead Don’t Die.

Selena Gomez is being recognized for representin’…

The 28-year-old Mexican American singer will receive the Arts Award during the 33rd Hispanic Heritage Awards, which will air on October 6 on PBS stations and streamed on PBS.org.

At the same ceremony, Bad Bunny will receive the Vision Award, and actress Jessica Alba will receive the Business Award for her entrepreneurial and philanthropic activities.

Because of COVID-19 restrictions, there won’t be a live ceremony. The PBS special will feature filmed performances from across the U.S. and Latin America.

The awards were created by the White House in 1987 and commemorate the establishment of Hispanic Heritage Month in the U.S.

Jose Antonio Tijerino, president and CEO of the Hispanic Heritage Foundation, said in a statement that he is “thrilled to recognize Selena Gomez with the Arts Award for her impact on American and global culture through her music [and] movies but also for her courage as an advocate for mental health.”

In April of this year, Gomez revealed that she has bipolar disorder. She has discussed her condition in several interviews.

In his statement, Tijerino praised Gomez’s courage in opening up about her mental health challenges.

“There’s power in vulnerability and Selena has made it okay to talk about difficult issues we all deal with, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Selena is a role model for so many for so many reasons.”

Gomez has been a pop star for more than a decade, first as the leader of Selena Gomez & the Scene, and since 2013 as a solo artist. All three of her solo studio albums, Stars Dance, Revival and Rare, have reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

In November 2019, “Lose You to Love Me” became her first No. 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100.

Selena Gomez is a real tease, at least when it comes to sharing her latest music video with the world…

The 19-year-old half-Mexican singer/ actress has released a third clip to promote the release of her video for “Hits the Lights,” the third single from  Selena Gomez & the Scene’s latest album “When the Sun Goes Down.”

There’s no doubt Gomez has succeeded  in building some serious buzz and excitement for the club-thumper that Gomez says is about living in the moment.

“Basically this song is just encouraging people to let loose, have fun, and be young and crazy,” says the former Wizards of Waverly star.

Shot in California, the oh-so-happy video features a vivacious Gomez with her bandmates and a slew of extras in various scenes, including a corn field, a discofied wooded-area and a baseball field.

Dressed in a sparkly purple-sequined shorts-jumper and knee-high lack boots, Gomez performed the party-thumper live at this year’s MTV Europe Music Awards—where she also served as the show host.

“Hit the Lights” will premiere on VEVO on Wednesday, November 16.
