Selena Gomez takes the television world by storm!
Selena Gomez is currently on a mission to take over the entertainment world. In the past year alone, she has released an album, titled Revival which she will tour in just a few months, released her own perfume, and now she’s on to another part of the industry. She has officially announced that she will be producing her own television series. Her new series will debut on Freeform (formally ABC Family), and is described as a “Latina Empire”.
The show is to take place in a low income Latino neighborhood and is narrated by an 18-year-old. This 18- year- old is described as she is destined for greatness. The plot gets even more interesting because it is completely based on a true story. Selena`s co-producer Aaron Kaplan also added quite a bit of material to the plot. He initially got the idea after watching a Los Angeles High School student, named Ana Cobarrubias. She spoke at the Zimmer Children`s Museum Discovery Awards Dinner. Her speech touched on her determination to diminish society`s expectations for someone like herself. She not only inspired the crowd but received a standing ovation. Since she was an aspiring cinema studies student, she will serve as a consultant on this project. This highly anticipated series is currently looking for a writer and will have a release date within the next year.
Serve up your favorite “cravings” with Chrissy Teigen!
Cookbooks are usually the same old typical recipes and usually focus on eating healthier. Chrissy Teigen has just released a cookbook that will satisfy everybody’s comfort food. This superstar model has taken her favorite foods that she actually cooks and eats and puts them together in her cookbook which is titled, Cravings. You might be thinking, why and how does a supermodel have a cookbook that involves recipes that are considered unhealthy? Chrissy, feels that food is her outlet and has taken the next step from posting recipes on her blog to her book. “I always loved food, and I think I kind of needed an outlet. I didn’t want to just talk about modeling all the time and just be in the modeling realm,” she said. “I just kind of needed somewhere to just talk. I feel like my blog is a place where it is so positive and it feels like a real community. I will rant about ‘What am I doing with my life? I don’t know what to do’ and then I’ll turn that into hamburgers. ” Her blog that was the platform for her recipes before the book is http://sodelushious.com/ and is definitely something to check out.
Chrissy`s sassy personality really shines through this book. She aimed for it to be different from the rest and definitely succeeded. “I don’t want to seem like one of those annoying ‘I can eat anything I want anytime’ chicks. It’s just that I wanted to be honest in this book about the kinds of food I love, the kinds of food I crave,” she writes in the book’s introduction. Chrissy told Eater, “I didn’t want it to be a celebrity cookbook where you’re not sure if they really cook or if they just put their name on something. I wanted people to know that these are really the recipes that we love at home.” Many of these recipes she has even debuted on her Instagram and shows such as The Chew. Her book is broken into sections that make it very easy to find exactly the recipe you’re “craving”. The sections are titled, Breakfast All Day, Soupmaster, Salads (For When You Need Them), Noodles and Carbs, Thai Mom, Party Time, Sh*t on Toast, Vegetable Things, Things That Intimidate People but Shouldn’t, and Supper. I was definitely most excited for the Breakfast All Day section! My favorite recipe was the French Toast Casserole With Salted Frosted Flakes. Which one of these “cravings” recipes will you try?

In the first year of this program, Starbucks will provide 5 million meals to families and individuals that are in need. Over the next five years, Starbucks intends to grow the program and expand to 100 percent of available food to be donated which will reach 50 million people by 2021. This highly anticipated program will affect local communities in countless ways. “Almost 50 million Americans or one in six people live in households that struggle to afford food, according to Feeding America.” Now all perfectly good and unopened protein plates and sandwiches that were simply thrown out before will now get to be enjoyed by people who really need it.

“Fuller House” is about to become even more full!
“Fuller House” is about to become more full with the renewal of season two. This Netflix revival series is a spin-off of the original “Full House”. It took 20 years to make this revival series possible but once it launched, it took only less than a week for the renewal of season two to be determined.
The current season of “Fuller House” is centered around the Tanner siblings. In this season since Mary- Kate and Ashley Olsen who portrayed the character of Michelle have not signed on, their neighbor Kimmy Gibbler has replaced her. But that is not to say that Michelle will not return for season two. The Tanner siblings are all grown up and facing many different situations including DJ becoming a widow and raising three sons, Kimmy`s crazy roller coaster life including romance and divorce. And also including Stephanie and her pursuit to start a career as a DJ and singer while being one of the most entertaining aunts.
The way that season one leaves off is with open- ended episodes and several cliffhangers, which is the perfect way to introduce season two. It is time for `90s fans to rejoice as your favorite family is back for another season full of puns, comical moments and the craziness of the Tanner household.
