Selena Gomez Announces Plans to Release Deluxe Edition of Her Debut Collaborative Album with Fiance Benny Blanco, “I Said I Love You First… And You Said It Back”

Posted on May 1, 2025 by Tom Castaneda

Selena Gomez has more love to share…

The 32-year-old Mexican American singer/actress and her producer-fiance Benny Blanco have announced plans to release a deluxe edition announced of their debut collaborative album, I Said I Love You First… And You Said It Back, on Friday, May 2.

“The deluxe version of my album with @itsbennyblanco is called I Said I Love You First…And You Said It Back and it’s out this Friday, 5/2!” Gomez wrote on Instagram. “There are some new songs, some favorites you might recognize, and reimagined songs from the original album. Can’t wait for you to hear them!”

Among the guests who join them on the beefed-up LP, according to Gomez, are GloRilla, Cigarettes After Sex and DJ Sliink.

Gomez’s announcement included a photo of the original keyhole album cover as well as a candid, casual Polaroid of the two chilling on a couch. Gomez also teased that the video for the song “Talk” will drop on Thursday night (May 1), encouraging fans to “pick out your prom outfit.”

Last week, Blanco posted a video on Instagram of the couple going to the mall to get their prom pictures taken after revealing that Gomez never got to go to her prom.

The video shows Gomez getting ready in a purple ballgown and planting a kiss on her fiancé as they do a classic walk-down-the-stairs dress reveal. In the limo ride to the mall, Blanco excitedly leans out the window of their stretch limo and tells the driver in the lane next to him: “We’re going to prom!”

In March, I Said I Love You First debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 album chart.

Among the guests on the first version were Gracie Abrams on “Call Me When You Break Up,” Charli XCX on “Bluest Flame,” The Marías on “Ojos Tristes” and Tainy and J Balvin on “I Can’t Get Enough.”

There are more days of wizardry in Selena Gomez’s future….

Wizards Beyond Waverly Place, guest-starring and executive produced by the 32-year-old Mexican American actress/singer, has been renewed for a second season.

Per Disney Branded Television, the new season will go into production in Los Angeles in April.

The news comes about a month after the Season 1 finale on February 28.

“I’m overwhelmed by all the love for the series and ready to keep serving this new generation of ‘Wizards’ fans with more Russo magic, while continuing to deliver a big warm hug to the original fan! So many surprises in store for this second season,” executive producer and series star David Henrie said in a statement. “It’s going to be big, so stay tuned!”

Wizards Beyond Waverly Place follows an adult Justin Russo, who has chosen to lead a normal, mortal life with his family, Giada, Roman and Milo. When Justin’s sister Alex brings Billie to his home seeking help, Justin realizes he must dust off his magical skills to mentor the wizard-in-training while also juggling his everyday responsibilities — and safeguarding the future of the Wizard World.

The first episode became Disney Channel‘s most-watched series premiere ever on Disney+ with 3.2M global views in the first 12 days.

In addition to Henrie, Wizards Beyond Waverly Place stars Janice LeAnn Brown (as Billie), Alkaio Thiele (as Roman Russo), Max Matenko (as Milo Russo), Taylor Cora (as Winter) and Mimi Gianopulos (as Giada Russo).

Jed Elinoff and Scott Thomas serve as writers and executive producers, along with executive producers Gary Marsh, Jonas Agin, Gomez and Henrie.

Wizards of Waverly Place was created by Todd Greenwald.

Posted on March 11, 2025 by Tom Castaneda

Everything’s comin’ up sunsets for Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco.

The 32-year-old Mexican American actress and her musician fiancé are continuing the rollout of their I Said I Love You First album with another single, “Sunset Blvd.”

Gomez announced the single on Instagram on Tuesday, March 11, alongside a black-and-white selfie of the couple snuggling up together.

“Our first date was on Sunset Blvd, and it’s also the title of our next song together 🖤 Sunset Blvd out March 14 with @itsbennyblanco,” she captioned the post. “P.S. this is our first official photo together.”

Gomez and Blanco recently documented returning to the restaurant where they had their first date on Instagram.

The duo happily cooked up fried shrimp with curry — the meal they had — at Jitlada Restaurant, an authentic Thai food joint on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, with the restaurant’s owner, Sarin “Jazz” Sing.

The couple’s joint album, I Said I Love You First, is set to arrive on March 21. The project features previously released singles “Scared of Loving You” and “Call Me When You Break Up” featuring Gracie Abrams.

As revealed by the Rare Beauty founder via the tracklist she shared on social media, the rest of the songs are called “I Said I Love You First,” “Younger and Hotter Than Me,” “Ojos Tristes,” “Don’t Wanna Cry,” “Cowboy,” “Bluest Flame,” “How Does It Feel to Be Forgotten,” “Do You Wanna Be Perfect,” “You Said You Were Sorry”,” “I Can’t Get Enough” and “Don’t Take It Personally.”

The couple began dating in June 2023, and got engaged late last year. Gomez shared the happy news with a December 11 Instagram carousel featuring her marquise-cut engagement ring, along with the caption, “forever begins now.”

“Emilia Perez” Star Karla Sofía Gascón Earns Historic Academy Awards Nomination

Posted on January 23, 2025 by Tom Castaneda

Karla Sofía Gascón has made Academy Awards history….

The 2025 Oscar nominations have been announced, with the 52-year-old Spanish actress earning a nod, making her the first openly trans person ever to be nominated in an acting category.

Gascón is recognized in the Best Actress category for her leading role in Jacques Audiard’s musical Netflix film, Emilia Pérez. Her nomination comes on the heels of recent Golden Globe, SAG Awards and BAFTA Film Awards nominations for Gascón’s breakthrough performance.

In Emilia Pérez, Gascón stars as a cartel leader who turns to Mexico City lawyer Rita (Zoë Saldaña), to help her live as her authentic self. Selena Gomez stars as Emilia’s wife Jessi and Adriana Paz as Emilia’s girlfriend Epifanía.

Gascón first made awards history with the role at the Cannes Film Festival when all four actresses shared the Best Actress award, with Gascón being the first openly trans actress ever to win the prize.

In October, Gascón discussed her feelings around representation with Deadline, saying, “I represent, obviously, the minority that I represent. But I think that I represent a lot of people in this world that want, or need, to be free. I’m talking about my colleagues, other actors that are coming up, that started from the bottom and have been working for a long time and have felt that rejection and continue to work and continue to learn and continue to grow. I think that’s maybe one of the very important groups of people that I represent. And I hope that I represent hope for my colleagues.”

Gascón’s co-star, Saldaña, has earned her first-ever Oscars nomination.

The 46-year-old Puerto Rican and Dominican American actress is nominated in the Best Supporting Actress category for portraying Rita in the Netflix film.

Fernanda Torres has earned her first Oscar nod.

The 59-year-old Brazilian screen and stage actress and writer landed a Best Actress nomination this morning for her leading turn in Walter Salles’ latest I’m Still Here.

Torres is only the second Brazilian actress to receive an Oscar nomination. The first was her mother, Fernanda Montenegro, who was nominated in 1999 for Central Station, also directed by Salles.

Monica Barbaro has earned her first-ever Oscar nomination.

Barbaro is nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her performance as folk legend Joan Baez in A Complete Unknown.

Colman Domingo is celebrating a second consecutive Best Actor nod.

The 55-year-old Emmy-winning Belizean-Guatemalan American actor and activist, a best actor nominee last year for Rustin, is nominated this year for Sing Sing.

He’s the first person to earn best actor Oscar nominations in back-to-back years since Denzel Washington did so for Fences in 2017 and Roman J. Israel, Esq. in 2018.

Domingo garnered his second Oscar nomination on Thursday after making history last year as the first Afro-Latino to be nominated in the best actor category.

Rachel Sennott and Bowen Yang announced this year’s nominees live at 5:30 a.m. PT from the Film Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater.

Walter Salles has two Oscar nominations this year…

Previously nominated in 1999 in the Best International Feature Film category for Central Station, The 68-year-old Brazilian filmmaker and film editor is nominated for Best Picture and Best International Feature Film for helming I’m Still Here.

The 97th Academy Awards, hosted by Conan O’Brien, will air live coast-to-coast on Sunday, March 2, from the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood, starting at 4:00 pm PT / 7:00 pm ET, continuing with the earlier start time the show debuted last year, on ABC and Hulu.

Gomez picked up her third consecutive Golden Globe nomination for her acclaimed work as Mabel Mora in Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building.

Additionally, Gomez picked up a nod in the Best Supporting Actress – Motion Picture category for work in Emilia Perez, a Netflix musical that received the most nominations from the Golden Globes Foundation with 10.

Gomez and her Emilia Perez co-stars won the Best Actress prize at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.

Gomez’s Emilia Perez cast mates, Karla Sofia Gascon and Zoe Saldana, have also earned Golden Globe nods.

Fernanda Torres has earned her first-ever Golden Globe nomination.

The 59-year-old Brazilian film, stage and television actress and writer is up for Best Drama Actress – Motion Picture for her performance in the Brazilian film I’m Still Here, which earned Brazilian director Walter Salles his fourth Best Foreign Language Film nod.

It’s an award her previously won in 1999 for his film Central Station.

Sofía Vergara is nominated in the Best TV Movie/Limited Series Actress category for Griselda.

It’s the 52-year-old Colombian actress’ fifth Golden Globe nod.

Javier Bardem has picked up a monster nod.

The 55-year-old Spanish Oscar-winning actor, who previously won a Golden Globe for No Country for Old Men, is nominated in the Best Supporting Actor – Series, Miniseries or Television Film category for Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.

Bardem will compete against Diego Luna in the Best Supporting Actor – Series, Miniseries or Television Film category.

The 44-year-old Mexican actor, director and producer, who previously earned his first-ever Golden Globes nod last year for his work on Andor, received the nod for his performance in La Máquina this year.

Liza Colón-Zayas has earned her first-ever Golden Globes nod.

The 52-year-old Latina actress and playwright is up for Best TV Supporting Actress for her work on The Bear, a role that earned her a Primetime Emmy earlier this year.

The 2025 Golden Globes take place on Sunday, January 5, 2025, beginning at 8:00 pm ET/5:00 pm PT. The ceremony will air live on CBS linear television and also stream live via Paramount+ for Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscribers.
