  • Selena Gomez Gets Love from Taylor Swift and More on 23rd Birthday

    Selena Gomez turned 23 on Wednesday, and BFF Taylor Swift was among those sending their love.

    Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez have been great friends for seven years. Even though the Bad Blood singer is out on her concert tour, she made sure to send a birthday message on Selena’s special day.

    Just one day prior to her birthday, Selena Gomez announced that fans will soon get to enjoy her second studio album, called “R e v i v a l 10.9.”

    It certainly sounds like Selena has enjoyed a couple of very exciting days.

    Selena Gomez’s Spring Breakers co-star Ashley Benson got in on the birthday love as well. She shared her wishes via Instagram.

    “Happy birthday my sweet angel. It’s been so fun watching you grow up over the years. Love you always @selenagomez,” she captioned her post–a collage of photos of herself with Selena Gomez.

    You’ll notice nothing has been said about whether Justin Bieber shared his birthday wishes with Selena Gomez. The state of their relationship is always under scrutiny. They were rumored to have gotten back together–but then again, in Hollywood circles, lots of rumors run wild.

    Fortunately Selena Gomez has some constants in her life–like Taylor Swift and Ashley Benson–who can always be counted on for sharing their love and wishing Selena well.

  • Vanessa Hudgens Wows Fans at 2015 Tony Awards Performance of ‘Gigi’

    Vanessa Hudgens further wowed her fans on Sunday night at the 2015 Tony Awards, when those who haven’t seen her perform in Gigi on Broadway got a sneak peek at what she does on stage. The song and dance number thrilled both the audience and viewers at home.

    Introducing Vanessa Hudgens on the Tony Awards stage was her Spring Breakers and High School Musical costar–and BFF–Ashley Tisdale.

    It was plain to see Ashley Tisdale was incredibly honored to present Vanessa Hudgens in the Gigi number, The Night They Invented Champagne.

    Vanessa Hudgens not only impressed fans while on stage, she was stunning on the red carpet prior to her 2015 Tony Awards performance. Wearing a Naeem Khan floral gown with halter top and full skirt, she was the perfect combination of ladylike and sexy.

    She has certainly grown up lots and perfected both her talent and her style since her High School Musical days. Do you suppose Ashley Tisdale might agree?

    Gigi received on 2015 Tony Award nomination. That went to Victoria Clarke for Featured Actress in a Musical.

  • Selena Gomez Super Sexy in Swimsuit

    Selena Gomez shared a swimsuit shot recently for all her fans to see, and the 22-year-old looks super sexy in it. The former Wizards of Waverly Place star shows off ample cleavage as she poses by the ocean with the wind blowing in her hair.

    Happiness is apparent on Selena Gomez’s face–and that’s nice to see. Her last months with Justin Bieber didn’t appear to be happy ones for her. Since dating DJ Zedd, however, Selena seems radiant.

    A grateful heart is also typically a joyful heart. Selena Gomez’s caption on this Instagram shot lends itself to her attitude of gratitude.

    “Remembering how precious every day is,” she captioned the sexy swimsuit shot.

    Selena Gomez and Zedd first met up while working on her single, ‘I Want You to Know.’ She spoke about the DJ and recording artist during a recent interview.

    “We ended up talking, sharing music and it happened organically. He’s great, and he cares so much about the meaning of his songs,” Gomez said.

    Selena Gomez has been hard at work on a new movie. Filming for Dubious Battle is underway now.

    Regardless of the source of Selena Gomez’s joy–it’s plain to see she’s got lots of it these days. And add to that how sweet and sexy she looks in her swimsuit, and it really seems things are going well for the Spring Breakers star.

    Did you think Selena Gomez would find love so soon after breaking up with Justin Bieber?

  • Vanessa Hudgens Debuts on Broadway in ‘Gigi’

    Vanessa Hudgens, known for her role in Disney’s High School Musical and on the big screen alongside Selena Gomez in Spring Breakers, has made her debut in a leading Broadway role. The actress, 26, debuted as the title character in Gigi at the Neil Simon Theatre. Although the show doesn’t open to the public until April 8th, Vanessa Hudgens shines several times this week in preview performances. Critics are expected to attend these early shows.

    This is a milestone for Vanessa Hudgens, and she shared her excitement in a photo posted to her Instagram account.

    “Best. Night. Of. My. Life. Thank god for @gigionbroadway for turning my dreams into my reality. So thankful to have the support of my family, friends and fans. Andd big thanks to the genius director himself, Mr. Eric Schaeffer!” she captioned the photo she posted on Friday.

    On the opening night of preview performances, Vanessa Hudgens posted this picture of herself to Instagram.

    She captioned this photo, “I can’t believe it. In less than 1 hour I’ll be performing for an audience on Broadway. I made it!!!!!! Just shows, work hard on what you want and at the right time… The stars align… And you find yourself right where you’re meant to be. Only you decide your destiny.”

    Vanessa Hudgens has very clearly decided on her own destiny. She has worked hard–especially hard since her days as a Disney darling. When you think back to when Vanessa Hudgens broke into the entertainment scene–back when she was dating her High School Musical costar Zac Efron–it’s beyond obvious how hard she has worked to make it all the way to Broadway. This isn’t Hudgens’s first foray onto the Broadway scene, however. She had a role back in 2010 in the musical Rent.

    Vanessa spoke with Playbill about her role in Gigi.

    “The fact that there are some amazing women who have played Gigi—Leslie Caron, Audrey Hepburn—those are some pretty epic footsteps to follow in!” she said. “I thought, ‘Why not take that on? That’ll be a good challenge!’”

    “I feel like it’s rare that you get to find a character that has such an amazing transformation, character arc and someone who is so pure and honest and true to who they are,” Vanessa Hudgens added. “She’s an amazing role model. I wanted to be her, so now I get to be.”

    Do you think starring in a Broadway musical will make Vanessa Hudgens think twice about returning to L.A.? At the very least, it will likely open up even more exciting roles for the actress. Fans needn’t worry about Hudgens forgetting where she came from. She has already signed on to star in Fox’s upcoming live version of Grease, alongside Dancing With the Stars judge and former pro dancer, Julianne Hough.

    Congratulations to Vanessa Hudgens on her Broadway debut. Gigi is set to run on Broadway through October 4th.

  • Vanessa Hudgens Sports Banging New Style

    As with many celebrities these days, Vanessa Hudgens was eager to share her new style via social media. She credited her hairstylist–Riawna Capri of West Hollywood’s Nine Zero One Salon–for her sexy new look.

    “@riawnacapri BANGED ME GOOD,” Vanessa captioned her Instagram post.

    Vanessa Hudgens’ hairdresser works with loads of celebrities, including Julianne Hough and Brooke Burke-Charvet, both of Dancing With the Stars fame.

    In other Vanessa Hudgens news, the actress is thrilled with her role as Gigi in Gigi on Broadway.

    “I’ve been waiting for the right role to come along, and she appeared to me when I was least expecting it. It’s been a lot of fun prepping for Gigi … allowing myself to be as free as possible. I love this character, the music and play so much,” she said during a recent interview.

    “Making my Broadway debut with Gigi feels like a dream come true. I couldn’t have planned it better myself,” she added.

    Debuting a new banging ‘do and as the lead in a Broadway production are both exciting milestones for Vanessa Hudgens. What do you think of her new hairstyle? Have you been to New York to see her on Broadway?

  • Ashley Tisdale Marries Christopher French

    Ashley Tisdale–former Disney Channel actress and Spring Breakers star–tied the knot on Monday. Tisdale married musician Christopher French.

    BFF and Spring Breakers costar Vanessa Hudgens was among the attendants at Ashley Tisdale and Christopher French’s nuptials.

    Ashley Tisdale and Christopher French got engaged back in August of 2013. The two had dated at that point in time for less than a year. French presented her with a cushion-cut diamond ring in a double halo setting. He proposed to her atop the Empire State Building in New York City.

    “Best day of my life! Introducing Mr and Mrs French Sept 8, 2014,” Ashley captioned a photo of herself with her groom that she shared on Instagram.

    Ashley’s High School Musical costar Zac Efron shared his congratulations on her wedding via Twitter.

    She shared a photo of her with her bridal attendants on Instagram.

    Check out Ashley’s beautiful engagement ring.

    Ashley’s bachelorette party was held in May. She, Vanessa Hudgens, and the rest of her attendants and close friends traveled from L.A. to Miami for a fun-filled girls-only weekend.

    “It’s so crazy, because I just think of us as having fun and being silly and the fact that she is getting married, my mind is kind of exploding,” Vanessa Hudgens said during their getaway.

    Christopher French is the lead singer of the band Annie Automatic. He started the band back in 2009.

    Congratulations are certainly in order for Ashley Tisdale and Christopher French as they celebrate these first days as husband and wife. It will be fun to learn where–or even if–the two travel for a honeymoon and if they plan to continue calling L.A. their home after their return.

  • Vanessa Hudgens: ALS Ice Bucket Challenge

    Vanessa Hudgens and sister Stella Hudgens stepped up to the plate–or under the bucket–to participate in the popular ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, to raise both awareness and funds to battle this cruel disease. Vanessa was nominated by sister Stella who completed the task ahead of the High School Musical and Spring Breakers star.

    “@weeknds you did this to me! I nominate @vanessahudgens @omidafshar @alexalosey @shawn_pyfrom #ALSawareness #IceBucketChallenge,” Stella wrote on her Instagram account, calling out Vanessa and others.

    Vanessa–who covers one of Flaunt’s new Distress Back to School issues–wore short shorts and a black caftan-type crop top over what appeared to be a bikini top as well, while taking the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.

    In turn, Vanessa called out several people, including fellow Spring Breakers star Ashley Tisdale, to continue the goodwill act of raising funds for ALS.

    Check out Vanessa’s sister Stella Hudgens as she completes her ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.

    Now that you’ve seen both Stella and Vanessa Hudgens soaking wet–for a good cause–check out that cover shot of Vanessa on Flaunt magazine.

    It’s sort of surprising that Vanessa Hudgens didn’t call out Austin Butler for the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. She said recently that the former Carrie Diaries star is the love of her life.

    “Yesterday was the love of my life’s birthday. Happy birthday to the man with the kindest heart, beautiful soul, crazy talent and best looks I’ve ever seen. He never stops inspiring me in every aspect of life and always lifts those around him up higher. I thank god so greatly for blessing the world 23 years ago by creating Austin Butler,” she wrote on her Instagram account on Monday.

    Congrats to Vanessa Hudgens for completing the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. Hopefully she–and anyone else who completes it–remembers to make a donation to ALS as well.

  • Selena Gomez: Teen Choice ‘Ultimate Choice’

    Selena Gomez is set to follow in the footsteps of celebrities like Justin Timberlake, Reese Witherspoon, and Britney Spears, according to MTV. She will reportedly be the recipient of the 2014 Teen Choice Awards ‘Ultimate Choice Award’ on Sunday.

    The award will be given to the off-again, on-again girlfriend of Justin Bieber, singer, and actress in recognition of her “contributions to the entertainment world.”

    Those contributions are fairly long, too, considering Selena Gomez is only 22 years old. For many years she starred in Disney Channel’s The Wizards of Waverly Place, in which she played beloved character Alex Russo. Since then she has starred in films including Spring Breakers, alongside pal Vanessa Hudgens, and in Getaway with Ethan Hawke. She voiced the character Mavis in Hotel Transylvania and is set to reprise the role in Hotel Transylvania 2 in 2015.

    Then, of course, there’s Selena Gomez’s music career. And while it never hit the level of Justin Bieber’s, the ‘Come & Get It’ singer definitely made quite a name for herself there as well. Her 2013 album Stars Dance made an impressive climb up the music charts. She is presently working on her second solo record.

    It hasn’t been an easy year for Selena Gomez. Don’t forget earlier in 2014 she spent two voluntary weeks at a treatment center for undisclosed issues. Then, of course, there’s all that Justin Bieber drama. None of that has stood in the way of the Teen Choice Awards organizers with regard to her being the recipient of this prestigious award, however.

    The 2014 Teen Choice Awards will feature presenters including Jennifer Lopez. Taylor Swift will reportedly be on hand, as will The Fault in Our Stars star Ansel Elgort. Ariana Grande will make an appearance, too.

    Will you be tuning in to the 2014 Teen Choice Awards live on Sunday evening at 8 P.M. EST on your local Fox station? If so you can join thousands of excited fans as they cheer on Selena Gomez when she is presented with the Ultimate Choice Award.

  • Vanessa Hudgens Does 25th Birthday in High Style

    Vanessa Hudgens celebrated her 25th birthday in Hollywood this weekend, with handsome boyfriend Austin Butler by her side. The lavish party took place at No Vacancy, and included family members and celebrity friends. It almost seems impossible that this beloved Disney star is 25.

    Hudgens, of Spring Breakers and High School Musical fame, wore a stunning Marcia Lucia Hohan gown that revealed each and every one of her ample curves. She topped the gown with a cream-colored fur wrap that lent itself to the luxe Hollywood party theme. Butler, of The Carrie Diaries, looked equally as dazzling, in his black tux and bow tie.

    Dancing and dining weren’t the only things guests at Vanessa Hudgens’ birthday party enjoyed. The festivities included a tightrope walker and endless cotton candy made on site. Multiple Christmas trees, fabulous Christmas decorations and a huge roaring fireplace set the scene for a very exciting evening.

    Vanessa Hudgens started her birthday off by sharing her excitement via Twitter.

    Good friend and Spring Breakers costar Ashley Tisdale sent her own birthday wishes to Vanessa via Instagram. She captioned the clip, “Happy birthday to this one. Can’t believe I’ve known her since she was 15 and she is now 25. Such a beautiful spirit. She’s my best friend/ sister for life. Happy birthday Vanessa”

    A 25th birthday party replete with haute couture, lavish decor and the finest cuisine is definitely the perfect way to celebrate turning 25. Vanessa Hudgens is one lucky lady–and from the good wishes that came in and the friends and family members who surrounded her, it’s clear she’s a very loved lady, too.

  • Vanessa Hudgens’ Latest Film Hits Theaters In 2014

    Vanessa Hudgens’ Latest Film Hits Theaters In 2014

    Vanessa Hudgens is set to star in a new movie called Gimme Shelter, with a national release date of January 24, 2014. In advance of the Hartland Film Festival’s world premiere of the film, Roadside Attractions has aquired U.S. rights to the drama from director Ronald Krauss. She is a 24 year old actress and singer.

    Hudgens orginated as a Disney star, similar to Miley Cyrus and others, but since appearing on the kids network, she has done the most to get rid of her clean and innocent looking image. While her fellow Disney stars were trying to stay popular with their young fans, she had already gotten herself involved with a nude-photo scandal after scandalous pictures of her leaked on the internet. On Disney, she starred in the High School Musical film franchise, but soon she was seen in films like Sucker Punch and Beastly, which were not kid-friendly in any sense.

    The Los Angeles Times mentions that just in the past year, she has been seen as a concubine, a bikini-clad party animal and a runaway stripper. She was in Spring Breakers, where she spent most of her time in a bikini, accompanying James Franco, who plays a pimp named Alien. She has high hopes and goals that stretch way beyond her former Disney co-stars as she aspires to have a career like Meryl Streep’s one day and wants to win an Oscar. She may not get all that, but she is certainly on the right track, and doing more positive things than others around her age. She talked of her acting goal and said that “it is why I’m very picky about what I do, and I make sure I’m not doing the same thing over and over.” She certainly does vary her roles and appear in all sorts of films.

    For her latest film, Gimme Shelter, Hudgens has transformed herself physically and spending two weeks living in a shelter as research for the role. The film is based on a true story that centers on 16 year old Agnes Bailey, played by Hudgens. It works to uncover the struggle for survival and a hope for redemption through her life on the streets. After she gets pregnant as a teenager, Agnes’ journey forces her into a perilous struggle before finding salvation from a suburban shelter for homeless teens, mentions Deadline.

    The film is inspired by a David and Goliath true story of Kathy DiFiore’s longstanding Several Sources Shelters. In what sounds like a very inspirational drama, the real life Difore even worked closely with Mother Teresa in order to change the shelter laws in New Jersey. Difore is played by Ann Dowd in the film, who appeared in the Indie drama Compliance in 2012.
