Selena Gomez has been in the news a lot lately. Whether sticking up for “13 Reasons,” the show she executive produced on Netflix, globe trotting with her new beau The Weeknd, releasing a new music video, “It Ain’t Me,” with Kygo, gracing the cover of Vogue, and killing it at the Met Gala, she’s flooding social media and her fans can’t get enough.

In the middle of the day this past Thursday, Selena Gomez posted an image on her Instagram account that made her fans go insane: news of impending music. The image in question was a vivid red-lipstick-graffitied mirror with the words “Bad Liar” in aggressive lettering.

Out of nowhere Selena Gomez posted this photo to Instagram on Thursday…

And fans lost their collective minds.

Some used Gomez’s infamous cry face for perfect meme opportunities.

Screaming in excitement was another common emotion.

Others had to use non-human memes to show their excitement.

She then posted it two more times, once in purple (our favorite ? ).

And fans lost it even more.

This Twitter user managed to put all three images into a freak-out compilation that had to exemplify exactly what Selenation was feeling.

And then, the countdown clock started on her website.

She’d encouraged her fans on Twitter to actually sign up the week before.

The ones who didn’t must’ve kicked themselves for not signing up sooner.

“I just got this email, I’m screaming,” wrote this Twitter user.

Some people got slightly different messages…

“Look! Mine is different!” wrote another Twitter user who received a different image via email.

And, shortly, people figured out they were receiving clues to a bigger puzzle.

After everyone on social media lost their minds trying to piece it together, Gomez confirmed the final image herself via Twitter.

Some are assuming it’s a single or even a whole album. There’s no way to really know. We’ll just have to sit and wait until Thursday.

Should be easy…

J.Lo’s Social Media Challenge Has Backfired Spectacularly And People Are Having Too Much Fun

Social media challenges are everywhere and some of them are super fun. However, J.Lo’s attempt to create a social media challenge for the anniversary of her song “Love Don’t Cost A Thing.” The challenge has drawn more trolling responses than genuine and here’s why.

J.Lo was probably expecting a different reaction to #LoveDontCostAThingChallenge.

J.Lo’s song “Love Don’t Cost A Thing” was released 20 years ago and it was a very important moment in Latino pop culture. We all know the song by heart and if you say you don’t then you aren’t being honest. Yet, J.Lo’s way of trying to celebrate the song’s release is, well, bizarre. We should keep in mind that we are dealing with an ongoing pandemic and it is winter, but J.Lo wants you to find a beach, walk around, and through your clothes and jewelry everywhere?

In fact, one of the responses questioning the challenge has more likes than the original post.

J.Lo literally just walked on the beach and threw her jewelry and clothing around. Like, what is happening here? There are so many questions right now and the text of the original tweet offers no real guidance. How is this a fun challenge?

@_nellerita makes a good point. We don’t have valuables that we can just throw around for a social media challenge. Most challenges involve dances, which gives a set parameter of what to do. This is just too open ended and, quite frankly, a wild concept.

Legit, people have a lot of questions about what is happening with the challenge and the tossing of jewelry.

A lot of people don’t have jewelry just laying around, tbh. We might have an Apple watch that is the only real thing we wear but why would we throw it? It is clear that J.Lo was hoping to see people recreate the iconic scene of the music video when she stripped down to go into the water. While the moment is iconic, it is something that we are not super eager to recreate as we stay isolated during this Covid winter.

Overwhelmingly, this has been the reaction to the #LoveDontCostAThingChallenge.

Most of Twitter is just sitting there trying to figure out what exactly is going on with J.Lo and her challenge. We appreciate someone getting people involved and mobilized. We also want to see our people succeed. However, some things need to be thought out a little bit more than this social media challenge.

Touching Tributes To Kobe Bryant Fill Social Media One Year After His Tragic Death

Last year was a wild and often scary time. The world will forever remember 2020 being the year that everything stopped and we all had to isolate. It was also the year that we lost Kobe Bryant in a helicopter crash and that death rattled the world.

Last year started with the shocking news of Kobe Bryant dying in a helicopter crash.

John Altobelli, Keri Altobelli, Alyssa Altobelli, Sarah Chester, Payton Chester, Ara Zobayan, Christina Mauser, Kobe Bryant, and Gianna Bryant all died when a helicopter crashed in the hills near Calabasas. The crash was a shock but TMZ reporting the deaths of Kobe and Gianna without Vanessa being notified angered many. Most of the world learned about Kobe and Gianni’s death because of the TMZ article.

People are remembering the Black Mamba as more than a basketball player.

Fans and friends have shared stories of Kobe and what he has meant to them. Social media is filled with fellow athletes remembering times they spent with Kobe and the kindness and wisdom he gave them in those moments. The basketball player was a legend in the sporting world and became a very important member of the Los Angeles community.

The Dallas Mavericks honored Kobe today in a tweet.

In 2007, Kobe requested a trade to leave the LA Lakers. Mark Cuban, the owner of the Dallas Mavericks, revealed that during that time the Mavericks almost acquired Kobe in a trade. Though Kobe almost went to Chicago, Dallas was in the running to be the next home for the legend.

Kobe was honored throughout the sporting world with some teams retiring his numbers. The sorting world lost a legend and ambassador for athletics that day and his absence is still felt strongly today.

Some people have shared small notes that Kobe sent them.

Kobe always had the reputation of being a thoughtful and kind person. Someone that people were able to connect with professionally and personally. These moments have endeared him to the LA community and why the city mourned his sudden death for months after.

You can check out Kobe with Guillermo in this clip of Guillermo’s NBA Media Day interviews.

Continue to rest in peace, Kobe. You are greatly missed.
